I admit it.
I’m a bit of a banner addict.
It’s just that they are so sweet and so much fun to create.
Today I have a vintage style holiday banner to share that is now gracing a dresser-turned-sideboard in our eating area. I’ve been so busy (thank goodness everything is now off the printers) that it’s one of the few holiday decorations I have up yet. It’s adding some holiday cheer for which I am most grateful. I can’t wait till tomorrow. I actually have a “free” day that I’ve slated for pulling out my decorations.
My holiday banner is created with Craft-a-Board bases that I’ve cut into triangles. Craft-a-Board is a great chipboard alternative. It’s an off-white color that is so much easier to ink and stamp on.
Here’s a closeup peek at one of the pennants. I’ve covered and accessorize each triangle with the beautiful Jingle collection by Lily Bee Design. I love the elegant and subtle festive look of this line.
Each pennant is trimmed with some pretty ruffled crochet trim and some wintery goodies.
