The sets I'm showcasing today is the "Banner Holidays" Stamp Set and 

the Banner Day 1 Die... along with Moka Angel... 

I love the Banner Stamp Sets SO much!!! 
It is such a fancy way to add your sentiments and give your card/project that extra 'something-something' to it :)  

Here's my trio of cards...
I stamped Angel and my Banner sentiments onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink... I did a bit of coloring on my Angels with Copic Markers...

Did some paper piecing :)

and added a touch of sparkle on their halos and wings :)
using my Spica Glitter Pen!

Here are all the stamp sets and dies that I used: 

While creating for this hop I decided to keep myself to using only a small amount of designer papers and cardstock; I knew that I was going to have to do something with my scraps and decided to keep going with another Christmas card using the Trim the Trees Die... a sentiment from the Banner Holiday Stamp Set, some Kraft Cardstock and the Medium Scallop Border Die too :) 

Are you getting in the mood to stamp?  

Be sure to check out Taylor 's 12 Days of A Handmade Christmas Video Series for lots of easy gift ideas. I especially love Day TWO of the series!!! 
I really do hope that I can create a fabulous calendar like Taylor's found HERE!!! 
I'm thinking of creating TWO calendar's, one for each of my boys! LOL! 
They have SO much going on, it would be a fun way to document all their fun-ness on their own personalized calendars :)
