*IBS & WorldWin Papers Blog Hop

Hi there crafty friends and good morning.

Thank you for joining us in this Holiday blog hop.

Inspired By Stamping and WorldWin Papers has teamed up to offer you over 15 inspiring Christmas projects to jump start your holiday season.
We hope that you'll find just the right inspiration for your next Christmas themed project.

Christmas season is all about gift giving and this hop is no exception.

 If you did not, then you will want to start the hop by visiting WorldWin Papers

Here is the project I created:

This my Christmas wreath!! 

When I start seeing the Christmas decorations being displayed, it puts me into a very festive mood. 

So when I started working on this wreath, I smiled through the entire assembling process!! :)

Just adore the rosette with the Holiday Sentiment, which was I stamped onto Original Colormates®Deep Racy Raspberry and embossed in white embossing powder.

I started by stamping unbleached Muslin, with the hexagon stamp for the French Country Background stamp set.  Then I ripped the fabric into 2 inch strips and wrapped the styrofoam wreath.

The kraft poinsettias and the Whimsical Banners were cut out using:

Worldwin® Cardstock Packs Kraft

Translucent Vellum™Clear Inkjet Printable Vellum 

I LOVE kraft and the texture of WorldWin Paper is unlike any other kraft cardstock I have ever worked with.  It has a really rough texture, which I just love.  The Colormates are so rich in color and believe it or not, cuts beautifully using your dies and Silhouette machines.

We have planned a very sweet giveaway for a lucky winner.
