SIZZIX TRIPLE PLAY BLOG HOP WEEK 6: JOY BANNER!

Sorry for the delay in my post today, but now on to our regularly scheduled programming!

It's Thursday, and that means it's time for the Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop! This week, we are using the Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Album, Brackets by Brenda Pinnick.

Versatility is the key word for this three piece die set! It layers beautifully or can be used for stand alone pieces such as frames, embellishments and more.

Now on to my project!



I used the large window style bracket and the smaller bracket to create this JOY banner. Papers and stickers are from the Jolly by Golly collection from Cosmo Cricket. I stamped on the transparency with the Stunning Snowflake background stamp from Hero Arts with a glue pad and super fine glitter. I inked all my edges with Clearsnap Fluid Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan (I am addicted to this ink color!).

Lots of other fun glitter, crystal charms, pearls, buttons, ball fringe trim and ribbons used to create this banner that can be left up long after Christmas has come and gone!

Here are some detailed pictures of each banner panel:

Used JOY Chipboard letters from my Hero Arts stash!



I love the way striped paper looks when made into a fan rosette!



I used Pop Up Glue Dots to give the chipboard letters dimension!



The crystal is one of the new flat backed Facets from Tim Holtz!



Love those pearls, rhinestones and buttons tied up with string and attached with Mini Glue Dots!
