Ihave a couple of times … mostly ornaments to go in groupings. I made paper pumpkins one year and tree ornaments on other occassions, and I made “candles” for a bridal shower (the bride still displays them)
Shelly Greybeck says
I use papercrafting skills often for home decor items, but probably my favorite was an advent calendar I made for my adult daughter and her family.
Jamie N says
I actually made a banner last year after seeing the superly pretty one on Dawn’s blog w/ her vintage ornaments.
see mary stamp says
I can’t think of a time when I’ve used my papercrafting skills to make home decor, although I do have the makings to embellish some of those frame ATC type boxes that are all the rage right now. I am however really looking forward to making some banners. Another great release PTI!
Alanna says
Unfortunately, I haven’t made anything crafty for home decor. I totally should though and with the help of the banner dies, I can. Thanks Nichole and gang for a great release.
kryssi ng says
Yes, pretty boring, just embellishing picture frames and such… would love to expand it for the holiday season after being inspired by this week’s sneak peeks!!
Lisa G says
I like to take artist canvas, paint it and then add pictures, die cuts and stamped images. I also like to make plates and cups to serve goodies I make.
Mary M. says
I’ve never set out to use my papercrafting skills for home decor. I have raided my adhesive stash to align pictures in frames. There are times where my supplies come in handy for things around the house.
Laura S says
Yes. Wraps for flameless pillar candles.
Babies- Beth says
Hmm… only ribbons to make lots of bows around the house, lol! I just bought a Christmas Cricut cartridge that has a 3-D house. I am hoping the banner dies will make them gingerbread houses, lol!!!
Cathy Weber says
I haven’t used PTI to make any home decor items yet, but as you release things every month I am certain to make something in the very near future. A decorative calendar pops into my head right now. Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful prize.
Tasha says
Once so far. I made a piece for my bedroom, the artwork I could find to match my colors weren’t my style. All in all I’m very happy with it and can’t wait until we redo my living room so I can make something to go in there.
Allene F. says
I have only made one home decor item before in a stamp class. I learned about to stamp on a candle. I tend to stick with cards, gifts, and scrapbooking. I would love to learn more and play more with creating home decor items.
Joyce says
I have. I made a birdhouse wall hanging that holds keys. I’ve done puzzle swaps so I have muptiple artists displayed in one piece. I’ve altered dress forms. I have a fall candle on my chicken crate that was altered with fabric, paper and ribbon. Altering is one of my favorite crafts.
Dawn Nikol says
I *love* making things for my home! Picture frames, canvases, mantle pieces, etc. Lately the focus has been on Christmas, which is my favorite!! Love this release!!
Marlena McDeavitt says
I have not made home decor before, because I am new to “seriously” stamping. However, I am looking forward to seeing some ideas….

I cannot WAIT to add your banners to my repetoire – Thanks for the chance to win!
Tracey Kuzniak says
Not very often, but I have been making a few gifts tags to go on our own Christmas gifts, so I can reuse them year after year 🙂
Jamie Nania says
Yes, I made a banner for Valentine’s day this year and used the PTI patterned paper for it and my Cricut to cute the letters. I have lots of ideas in my head for those large-scale banners as well!

Love the new releases…what an awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance!!!
Lindsey Martins says
I’ve used my papercrafting supplies to decorate pictures frams, and cover wooden letters (initials for a nursery), but that’s about it. Excited for the release tonight!
Jeannette aka Jnett says
I haven’t yet, but I have plans to decorate the closet doors in my craft room. Well I guess they would just be the storage cabinet. Anyway, I’m mulling it over in my mind.
Sally says
Yes I have used my paper crafting skills to
make all my Christmas cards and tree ornaments!
Kathy McDonald says
I made two wall hangings for the bathroom using punches and frames. Ali Edwards featured this idea on her blog, and I loved making them, and enjoy looking at them every day.

Karen
AUSTRALIA
PS – I think I would faint if I won this release!
Nita says
Yes, I have made home decor. Primarily seasonal deco. I made a framed “Thankful” saying and lots of Christmas deco for the house. I also made frames for my son’s room. So excited for this contest!
Laurie Hunt says
We were trying to sell me husbands house after we were married and I made a couple of pieces of wall art for that. I am wanting to try some different things that have been floating in my head for a while though.
Jennifer Delaurier says
I have made a banner before, for our last Christmas to hang on our mantle. That is why I am so excited to see a banner set, but with the large dies so that I can make more for many different occasions with such ease! Thank you so much for all the inspiration and the chance to win!
Kara says
I’ve made some cute blocks that say “be thankful” and have plans to do many others, but they might be made instead on banners – after they come in my mail next week 🙂

Dee in N.H. says
Oh yes! I especially like making paper bouquets! My next favorite is magnetic notepads for the fridge!
Amy Smith says
I have made several things before, chiefly etched glass. I use stamps to emboss on the glass, then use etching cream. After the cream has worked, I wash it off and peel off the embossing. Makes beautiful candle holders. Lately I have been trying things with vinyl and my Cricut. And this Thanksgiving I want to do place cards and table decorations. I also plan to cut paper leaves out of PTI’s patterned paper and put them around a grapevine wreath for a door decoration.
Amy Everson says
I have made ornaments, wall art from vinyl, and a couple of banners. I really love using vinyl for walls and windows.

Yes! I have stamped a lamp shade, picture frames, votive covers, place cards, and napkins. Such a fun hobby!
Stephanie S. says
I am always making ornaments for christmas and also altering bird houses to use for the seasons. I even took a metal star and altered for my house.
Kimberli Sarsfield says
I made a photo frame type accent to sit on a shelf in our living room. It makes the picture and embellished mat so much more special since I know I did it and I can appreciate it everyday in my house instead of giving it away:)
Colleen C. says
I made some great custom photo mats for a framed photo. Does that count as home decor? Great release this month, but I say that every month!
Alyssa S says
Not so much…I keep meaning to make some magnets, a template to hold my pens and such, picture frames, etc. I always end up giving them away or making the goodies into cards. One of these days though…
Donelle u says
I have made a tray for my mom with pictures of our kids on it and I have made wall hangings for both my husband and father in law with quoates pictures and decorations. I would love to do more. I have also made decorated picture frames for friends.
Jamie Greene says
YES!! I have made some frames. I am planning on making pictures for my daughters room soon as well.
Kathy H says
Hahaha, this is a funny question because I’ve been “making home decor” since I was a kid…and my mom would proudly display the wall art for awhile! Recently I’ve made picture frames for our guest bedroom. I didn’t have the money to buy frames so I used my digital cutter to cut out frames for 8×10 pictures I took of different architecture.
Caren B says
I’ve covered block letters in paper for my craft room and just made ‘NOEL’ letters to decorate for Christmas
Heidi says
I once used my paper crafting skills to try and make “art” to hang in my home. I made a Christmas shadow box with punches and paper. It didn’t turn out as I had hoped so I gave it away to a friend. I learned that I am much better at making cards than I am at working on any 3 dimensional projects.
Judi Rose says
I have made paper ornaments for Christmas and paper wreaths.
Leigh Ann says
Sometimes I like to use my paper crafts supplies for things I get to keep…like making picture frames or decorating a corkboard or making magnets for my refrigerator “art gallery” 🙂
Daniela says
Oh, yes. I made several photo frames, holiday decor, ornaments, wreaths….
Sandy Kay says
I’ve made Christmas ornaments and some little totes to sit around to put things in – if that counts!
Fabulous release as always!
Stephanie Mino says
I can honestly say that I have never made anything from paper for home decor. Now, if you want to count my little table settings for Thanksgiving THIS year, then I guess I have…..but, that is all that I have ever made to decorate my home. I guess I need to get on the ball, huh?
Charmaine Ikach says
Yes, I have created some picture frames, framed scrapbook pages and even garland for our tree one year. Thanks for the chance to win!
Kristen says
Yes. I made the cute little butterfly shadow boxes when those were the rage a couple years ago. And I also filled a vintage paper tray with hundreds of tiny pictures for a gift for my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. Now I want to make one for my home, but haven’t finished it…
rebecca keppel says
My shining moment in home decor items was making an advent calendar for christmas last year. It was a lot of fun and came out nice but the best part was how much the kids LOVED it and now look forward to bringing it out again 🙂
Amber Goble says
I’ve made picture frames and door hangers. So easy to make home decor with crafty goodies.
Allyson says
I haven’t done too much home decorating with my paper crafting skills – but I want to now after seeing all these fun banners and such! I have, however, used my paper crafting skills to make baby frames, decorating the matting and the frame to give as a gift. I am definitely more inspired to try after having found the Papertrey design team! 😉 Thanks for the chance to win all these great products. I hope I win!!!!
Barb S says
Oh yes, even as a kid I made lampshades of paper decorated with homemade stamped images. Now, as an adult, I use my wonderful stamps to decorate pillow covers, make luminaria, and wall hangings. I even have paper valences in my dining room!
Linda w says
I have to say I am pretty much stuck on creating greeting cards. Although I have created many Christmas ornaments utilizing paper crafts. Could that be considered home decor? You never know though when I just might try my hand at the new paper decor things.
stamp on…
Kathy W says
No, I have never used my papercrafting skills to create a home decor project for MY home. However, I made several themed houses using the PTI template last year that I gave as gifts to friends and family, and I am constantly using my papercrafting know-how in my kindergarten classroom on bulletin boards and special thank you’s for my parent volunteers.
Angie Reedy says
I’ve love using papercrafting for home decor. i’ve made paper owls that I framed, and i’ve also made frames out of paper for photos!
love papertrey!!
Sande says
I have made a bunch of fun home decor items with stamping/papercrafting supplies. I change out the wreaths on my craft room doors each season with different paper crafting decorations. I made a great advent calendar that we enjoy year after year. I have made name frames that are a hit with the kids. I love making things that we can enjoy throughout the house and throughout the seasons! Thanks for giving us the chance to share our ideas, learn from one another, and find terrific quality supplies!
C Stephens says
I have used my crafting to make gifts for others like journals, decorated boxes and the like. I think this release is wonderful and I look forward to all the great products!
Carole kerr says
One year I made all the table decorations using paper and stamps!! My family loved it and thought it made Our holiday together more homey. I’m dying to get my hands on the banner dies!
Thanks for such a great release.
Carole kerr
Maryanne Degiorgio says
I love making 3D stuff for Xmas and Birthday parties and making boxes for gifts. The banners would be terrific for any number of parties.
Anne S says
I’ve decorated picture frames that come in kits, but that’s about it. I pretty much stick to cards and scrapbooking. Can’t wait for the release!
Monica L says
No but I plan to make placecards for Thanksgiving this year using Places Please stamp set and die.
Maeghan M. says
I’ve definitely used my papercrafting skills for other things… I’ve covered up cute little wooden frames and metal recipe card boxes, and I’ve made a few signs here and there! Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful talent!
Gabriela says
All the time…. I made a vinyl art piece for the top of my staircase, I added vinyl to glasses for a Halloween Party, I have made banners for birthday parties, I even added some Cricut cuts to a cake. I love incorporating my “skills” into my home decor. Thank you for the chance to win!
Miki says
I just made a Halloween banner for our mantle a few weeks ago! I plan on making another one for Christmas. Hopefully the dies won’t sell out before I get mine!
Michelle N says
A few years ago I made a family of chip board gingerbread men tied together in a row with ribbon as a christmas decoration. I decorated them with individual papers and put each person’s name on them. they were so cute I leave them up all year!
Jen Barkdull says
I haven’t made anything for myself, but I have used them to make Christmas decorations, like decorated letters and words, for family and friends.
Kristin says
Yes!! Absolutely YES! Every Christmas, of course. But most recently was my daughter’s 4th birthday. We did Jessie from Toy Story. I did the Birthday Banner, a Jessie “round up” where I took photos of all the kids who were coming (b&w) and put “Wanted” on them. Dressed my dh up in an old Western shirt and bandana, son’s cowboy hat and play gun and put “Outlaw” on his pic. These were on the doors at the girls’ eye level. Then, I had little tins (like kids used to take their lunch in back in the 1800s) and we had a bandana cut up and I did tags with Jessie/Old West kinda stuff on the handle, and filled them with jelly beans and little toys. SOOOO FUN and such a hit. (and I left her birthday banner up for THREE weeks!!)
Jess Kruegel says
I actually just started making decor items last yr. I mainly have papertrey to thank for that, with all of the inspiring projects you show on your blog. for the most part, i like to make framed art pieces and i made a bunch of ornaments last yr. im super excited to work with these new banner dies and stamps to make some awesome decor items this year.
Krista says
I made little kitchen plaques using cheap wood frames crackle paint and the year of flowers stamps for my moms kitchen.

Lisa says
Yes. I have made a Christmas Tree by using papers, ribbons, and silver Kisses chocolates. I still have it and it will be in my dining room this year again. Thank you so much for the chance.
Michele L. says
WOW! It’s ironic you asked that question, because I just finished a shadow box today. I’ve been meaning to make this for years and actually sat down did it today.
I decorated a shadow box, containing a letter my grandfather gave me along with Monetary bills- “escudos”. It was the currency in Portugal before the Euro. It’s a nice memory of him and my childhood summers!
Katie {choc0holic} says
I’ve made wooden blocks and decorated picture frames, but that’s about it. Nothing too fancy…can’t wait for the banner collection to change that though!
Ngan R. says
I have used my crafting skills to make wreaths out of paper and ribbon and other embellishments. I’ve also made plenty of Christmas tree decorations and still have them for use every year. Perhaps I’ll make a banner and wrap around my tree this year with all those dies you have out now!
Anita Farrell says
But of course. Last year I made a replica of my front door, complete with window panes and sidelights. Then I put a cute couch and rug from On My Couch peeking through the windows. I used the sentiment there’s no place like home for the holidays and then framed the piece. It was a great addition to my kitchen Christmas decor.
Wendy says
For Halloween this year I made a banner, door hanger and paper flower display. I’ve also decorated a picture frame. I’m looking forward to making lots for Thanksgiving and
Christmas!
Nicole F, UK says
I haven’t made any home decor, but that’s something I hope to rectify with this month’s release – I have images of banners all around my home this Christmas!
Betty says
i have made birthday gifts for my sisters in which i used old photos from when we were children, made background using various stamping techniques and papers and then framed them using vintage picture frames. that’s about it.
Meredith says

Noreen says
This year for Christmas gifts I made several sets of tumbled tile coasters using my paper crafting supplies.
Lee Cockrum says
Not really! Perhaps some slight embellishment to photo frames, that is about it. But I do really love all of the banner ideas that I have seen during this release.
Dana says
I just used my supplies to make a snowman diorama inside of a shadowbox frame. It is only 4×4, but I used the Papertrey tree die and chartreuse felt and vintage red buttons in it! It’s very cute for a first try at a diorama. I see more in my future!
Emily Keaton says
Yes!! I’ve made papercrafted art to frame for the wall in my bedroom and altered things like a small memo board to use in my kitchen. I’ve even used my papercrafting skills to make board games–although I guess that’s not technically “home decor”!! BTW–fabulous release this month 🙂
Denise says
YES! I totally have made home decor projects! One of my favorite is a Frame I made for Halloween…every year I add my kids’ pictures in their costumes! Here is the blog post with a crackle paint tutorial I did on the frame…
http://isittuesdayyetma.blogspot.com/2009/10/crackle-paint-tutorial.html

Shasta says
I have only made a few home decor pieces, flowers and such, but can definitly see more in the future with those banners!!
Lauren says
Making my own home decor is something that’s very new to me. Only recently did I make my first attempt. I basically made framed art with patterned paper, stamps and die cuts. One is of our last initial, embellished with flourishes and a bow. It came out much cuter than I expected. So I will definitely come up with other ideas. Those big banners sure would come in handy!! 😉
Karli says
I’ve used my papercrafting supplies to make lots of home decor things for my home & as gifts for family & friends. The usual suspects- frames, canvas art with scrapbook pages, decorated letters, banners, & holiday decorations.
ladybugg61 says
Relatively new to cardmaking, I’ve never ventured into home decor – yet! Those lovely Banner Dies/Stamp Sets definitely make me want to go out on a limb and give it a try real soon!
Lisa Dolson says
Besides banners and Christmas ornaments, my daughter and I decorated her cat carrier for a 4-H cat show with card stock, flower dies, and ribbon! This is a wonderful release package!

Avril Tanner says
I have actually created a number of things… some altered items as home decor and also some framed pieces of art!
Sheryl says
When I first began stamping a few years ago, I stamped a Bible verse (John 3:16) on card stock and stamped roses and leaves around it, then matted and framed it. My stamping has improved since then, but I am still happy with the results!
Vanessa G says
Yes, I make banners every halloween and I’ve made themed picture frames for different occassions. Can’t wait for all the goodies tonight!!

Danielle Daws says
Yes! I made a watercoloured layout in a shadow box frame, and I think it came up quite nicely! I’d love to do more though. Awesome release!!
Rhonda H says
I made a banner for Halloween. Having dies would have made the whole project a lot easier!! I had considered a Thanksgiving project but held off cause I didn’t want to cut them out. I can start planning one now.
Becky K. says
Hmm, papercrafting not so much yet (don’t have enough space to decorate!). I’ve used my Silhouette to etch glass coasters though!
Laura Boyd says
Just a few things, some picture frames, Ikea mirrors, and some boxes. I think this is my favorite release this year. I can’t wait to get some of the new goodies. Too bad my check book can’t handle all I want!
CarolLynn says
A banner, but oh how much easier it will be to make one with the new dies.
Whitney Moss says
Yes! It’s one of my favorite things to do! I’ve made a couple of framed things, one with the sayings: live, laugh, love and of course holiday decor (my personal favorite!!). Now I can’t wait to get the dies to make some banners!
Katie Jones says
I actually just did this a couple of weeks ago for the first time! I made a plaque that says “Grateful” and is decorated with some Fall images.
I really want to make a banner after seeing all of the cute ones your awesome designers made!
pegg says
I have made mostly baby cubes (large and small) for friends with new babies. They love it! I think this month’s release will have so many options for home decor!
Kathy says
Yes. I’ve done stamping on candles and fabric and made a framed collage on friendship. I don’t do big things like walls but enjoy using my stamps on smaller things for gifts.
Breeonna Delaire says
Yes! I’ve decorated picture frames, decorated stakes for our house plants and tried my hand at banners. I’m very, very excited to use the new banner building collection to create timeless decorations for every season. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Definitely. I’ve used my supplies to create picture frames, calendar icons and holiday decorations. The banner set would definitely be a chic way to elevate my home decor! Thank you!
Amy G. says
Well… I’ve had lots of good intentions to make home decor. Most of those haven’t happened yet, but the ideas are there when the notion or opportunity strikes. 😉 The only home decor projects I’ve actually made are the “dry erase” picture frames that I’ve made as gifts. They were one of the first projects I discovered here on Nicole’s blog. They are always a big hit!
Kim H. says
I haven’t used papercrafts for my home decor — but I think this month’s releases may change that! Can’t wait to begin filling my shopping cart –
Michelle Balletti says
Home Decor….No not really…but I totally used a bunch of your stuff when I threw my own baby shower….yes, a lil control-freakish but heh…I used Baby Blessings and Men of Life including the fab tutorial you did on a 3d boat (which unfortunately didn’t make the cut (after I already did 50 hulls)(was going to attach them to the favor box) oh well…my stuff was a hit (at least to me and I still need to e-mail the fab creator with my invites I did to show her how much I appreciated her work!! but on home decor, sorry I degressed, no not yet!!
Laura Isham says
I have created several things for home decor from my papercrafting stash. Recently I made a fall wreath made with the great leaves dies here at PTI for my mother-in-law and myself. I have also made banners with scalloped squares with the words LOVE and HOPE on them. The banners being introduced tonight are so on my list! Love them. Love PTI. Love all the great inspiration we get monthly.
Ted says
I have yet to use my papercrafting skills to make home decor… although I’m learning that there’s really no end to what one can do! 🙂
Donna de Peyster says
Absolutely! I’ve made various decorations over the years. Included are things like small tabletop Christmas Trees, ornamental boxes in the shape of shoes, decorated picture frames, desk organizers, collaged pictures and the like. I would love to learn new techniques.
Mila Ayers says
I have made several items, but my favorite is a framed collage of a recent mission trip to Africa. It hangs next to our front door. I included a couple of pictures, some awesome African-looking papers, and some fibers and memorabilia I brought back from Afica.
Alicia Weiman says
I LOVE to make banners and I try to do so for all of my kid’s birthdays, baby showers, and wedding showers. The most special banner I made was for my son, Ethan. He was just 4 when he died last year of cancer, but his banner from his 4th birthday hangs proudly in his brother’s room. It says “Yee Haw” and when he saw it at his birthday he pointed to it and told our family friend, “Look, it says Happy Birthday Ethan!” It was soo cute. I used it again just yesterday at my youngest boy’s 1 year old birthday party! I can’t wait to get the new banner set and all of the coordinating dies!
Deena says
I have never created ant home decor item with my paper crafting skills, however I will definitely be changing that old habit as soon as I get my hands on those gorgeous new banner dies!!
Charmaine says
I have made a few home decor items. Paper pinecones for my Christmas tree, as well as other Christmas decorations. Currently working on a few things for Thanksgiving.
I have also done some really cool art pieces for my brother using art canvas, acrylic paints and stamps. I used different types of papers, sheet music, book print and grunge paper, to make roses for them.
Charmaine

Other than seasonal things for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I haven’t made any home decor. I mainly do banners for my mantle.
Liz says
I have made various Christmas decorations, and last year I made an Advent Calendar. I am in the process of making this year’s advent calendar at the moment. This month’s release is amazing, it seems every month gets better!!
Cindi Loizeaux says
Although most of my hand made home decor was done on the sewing machine,I have made wreaths from paper and banners by hand.
Karen says
I have used my papercrafting a couple of time for home decor. One I used was stamping a design on tissue paper and adhering it to a candle to make it decorative. Another was I stamped on picture frames. Would like to do more when I have the opportunity.
Shirlann says
When I have to take an appetizer to a friends house I usually make a hot dip and chips. I make a bowl with a paper lunch bag, by scrunching and rolling down the top, add a raffia bow around the bottom rim with the recipe printed on a tag, line the bag with waxed paper, and add the chips!
Recipe books are also my favorite paper crafting deco item….I display all that goodness on a stand for all to see!
Nicole R. says
I haven’t made any real home decore projects yet. I’m excited to get those large banners though and get started!
Denise O says
I have done a lot of home decor projects, they are one of my favorite things to do. I have done wall vinyl art, centerpieces, ornaments, and last Halloween even made a 3-d Haunted House entirely out of paper.
Suependous says
Without the fabulous ideas out there now for quality appearing hand crafted items, I have only made paper flowers and placecards for holiday gatherings. The new banner ideas are fascinating to try.
Amna Al Fard says

Thanks for the chance to enter to win the new releases.
LeAnn says
I used my skills to crossover and make vinyl cuttings on my walls. Otherwise, sadly no.
Vanessa Bell says
I just created a shadow box for my sons nursery. I plan to do more but so far that is it.
Wendy Gilbertson says
When I was about 13 years old I thought I should have some wall paper on my bedroom walls, but we couldn’t afford wallpaper. So I cut out these really basic flower shapes out of construction paper and drew flower centers in them and taped them to my wall. I connected them with satin ribbon that my mom had in her sewing basket. It looked really cool and I was SO proud of myself.
kathyl says
I’ve used my paper crafting to make a few ornaments for my Halloween and Christmas trees. I also made a plaque to hang Santa’s door key since we don’t have a chimney 🙂 I have several more things on my to do list, just need to find some time!
Michelle M says
Lots of things! Love to cover photo frames and wooden letters with scrapbook paper and then embellish. Many homemade Christmas ornaments and small decorations adorn my home. So incredibly excited about this release! My Christmas came early!!!

Nora Anne says
Yes, I made a banner for my little cousin’s First Communion and a tissue box holder (came out super cute!) and some framed art…I love cardmaking and scrapbooking, but home decor projects are super fun too! and the banner dies in this release are a FABULOUS addition! I can’t wait to try them 🙂
Erin says
As a matter of fact my mom just helped me make a beautiful ruffle shower curtain for my daughter’s bathroom. I love ruffles on my cards and now I love them on other things as well!
Cindy Retchin says
I have made clip boards and picture frames. If I made everything I dream about making, I would have a house full of paper-crafted decor. My hope is to make some pumpkins before Thanksgiving.
The release tonight gives me even more inspiration. Love it ALL!!!
Donelda says
I like to make place settings for special occasions like thanksgiving or birthdays! I’ve never made banners before but I sure have some inspiration after this release!!
Holly says
Oh gosh, yes! I’ve done all kinds of things – candle votive holders, banners, wall hangings, Christmas ornaments, gift tags, gift bags/boxes, picture frames, desk organizers, calendars, and more. This PTI release is so exciting – lots more home decor projects are brewing in my head right now! 🙂
Chris Simon says
I have a lot of handmade ornaments for our Christmas tree. Love them all, and try to find at least a couple of new designs to make each year. I also have a couple of framed pieces in my craft room, and my favorite of all is the clock that I made for the craft room. I can’t wait to try my hand at banners.
Sheila says
I’ve made banners before and am so looking forward to these new dies for them. They’ll make everything exactly the same size just like I love. THANKS!
Mel Tallman says
Yes I have. My husband thought I was nuts, but we needed a towel rack for the kids bathroom. When I told him I was going to do he didn’t hide his disbelief very well. When it was all done he asked me to make one for our bathroom. Best compliment ever!
Vivian says
I can’t think of a time I have used my paper crafting skills for home decor, but may have…that is unless you count a candy holder that sits on a table.
BONNIE MILLER says
Yes alot of items.. my favorite is a framed word I designed
Bon Appetit…. different letters that I altered.. Bonnie7
anababy says
I have made two things for home decor. One was a wreath of stamped leaves and the other was various flower punches that I attached to painted twings to create a floral arrangement.
Stacy says
My favorite home decor items I have made are framed wall art for each of my daughters. I selected colors and images that match the colors and themes of their nurseries, and pieced them together to go with other items from their rooms. The results were two beautiful wall hangings that I look at every day when I am in their rooms. I love that I was able to put my love into something that hangs on their walls, and that they can point to it and say, “Mommy made that for me!” I also recently made one for my best friend’s new baby boy.
Tami Grandi says
Yes I have- I have made photo cubes (using sentiments/quotes/verses) and I have made decor in picture frames to hang up around my house (also usually with verses or quotes).
Lisa in Aus says

Mendi M says
No, I have not but I am very much looking forward to all of the PTI products this month to make that possible!

I love making home decor items such as banners, ornaments, frames and table decorations. I am so excited about the new line of PTI banner products! It will be so much easier to make banners using the dies with my Big Shot. All the details in this product line are absolutely amazing!
LouAnn says
I have made several wreaths and some Christmas ornaments. I am hoping to make a few more wreaths for other holidays and now hope to make some banners as well.
Stacy Simpson says
Well, this is a super easy question for me. I made an autumn banner yesterday thanks to the PTI DT’s wonderful inspiration!
Kelly Jo says
Yes- I created the most adorable (if I say so myself) welcome frame with gorgeous scrapbook paper and a rub-on that says welcome. It’s stunning and looks beautiful against my paint.
Cara Staten says
I can’t think of anything I’ve done so far…but I would love to! Just need some motivation and inspiration…which I can always get from you ladies at PTI!
Audrey T. says
I love making home decor out of my papercrafting supplies! I have made lots of framed pieces, a ribbon wreath, stamped candles and coasters… I love making 3D projects – they make such great, personal, gifts! 🙂
Diana says
I usually make Christmas ornaments, stamping on candles for hostess gifts and glass etching on plates, vases or votive holders. Looking forward to the release tonight….
🙂
Mercedes Berg says
I haven’t been brave enough to venture out too much. I usually just decorate frames…
Rachel Schumacher says
I love making home decor projects and my favorite is a “h-o-m-e” sign that I made to fit a metal frame that I already had.
Jamie Nania says
Yes, I made a banner for Valentine’s day this year and used the PTI patterned paper for it and my Cricut to cute the letters. I have lots of ideas in my head for those large-scale banners as well! a
Krista Koenig says
Using my crafty stuff to do home decor is one of my favorite things ever. I’ve made many wall hangings and this pasdt year created an Easter banner with SB dies. And recently created a double banner that lights up! Even the hubby likes it!
Rosemary D says
sadly, i haven’t really used my papercrafting skills to make too many home decor items. i recently altered a tin that could be used as a home decor item, though and i have made wrapped candles….
Donna O. says
I have made wreaths with fabric or paper and then another favorite has been ornaments, especially this time of year.
Deanna Jean says
I have used them to make ornaments for the tree. In the past I have not been able to do much because I was mainly a scrapbooker and just didn’t have the right supplies. This year is going to be so fun. Not only am I going to decorate..this year I’m able to make homemade Christmas gifts as well. Let the fun begin!
TammyRN says
I made several of the Home Made houses last Christmas. I guess that would be the closest thing to “home decor” I’ve made. I’m mostly a card and gift package maker.
Michelle says
I have not used papercrafting to make home decor item before but after looking at this month’s release I most certainly believe there is a first time for everything! Why not start now:)
Jen G says
I’ve made several poppet canvas portraits – of myself, my family, my kids – using stamps and patterned paper and paint. So much fun!
Shelly says
No…but that could change with this release 🙂
SaraQ says
I have been branching out from my usual card making and scrapbooking to make some home-decor items. My favorite one so far is a Christmas sign I made for our entryway with big, red, glittery letters which spell “JOY”.
Lisa Mosher says
yes I have a decorative glass plate that I change for the holiday’s, and I have made banners using insperation from Kelly Lunceford so excited for this release! thanks for a chance to win!
Jennifer Kirk says
I’ve used paper-crafting supplies to make photo frame decorations and a few door hangers. After reading some of these comments, I need to get a little more daring!
Carol Weatherspoon says
I have not used my paper crafting skills for home decor items, although this month’s release has given me plenty of inspiration to do so in the future! Thanks again Nichole and the design team for another amazing release.
Sarah Jay says
I’ve made a few shadowboxes for family members using my great-grandmother’s recipes. And some fun photo mats.
Amber K. says
I have made some signs with my paper crafting supplies to hang on our front door. Hopefully with the banners I can make some banners for the holidays and celebrations.
Isabel Z says
I made a birthday banner for my youngest and I sure could have used the dies that are being released tonight. I cut out each triangle by hand as well as the matting and it took forever. It was worth the work, because she loved it. I said that I would never make another one but now PTI has made it easy so banners here I come!!!
Tanya says
I made some pictures mats for all my pictures in the living room. It looked so much better having it all match the paint in there.
I can’t wait to order, or hopefully win, tonight.I am overly excited about this release 🙂
lori says
I love using my supplies to alter picture frames, candles, wooden letters etc. I cannot wait for the banner dies to make for my mantle!!
Suzanne says
I have made some photo books for my mom on Mother’s Day, but I have never made anything for the house. I need to do something about that!
Diane Jaquay says
I have seasonal decorations that I’ve cut with my Cricut and hung from our kitchen light, but that’s about all from paper. I used to make a lot of fabric home decor projects though.
Patty Chalas says
I use papercrafting skills often everything but for home decor items just a few times, but my favorite was an photo holder i made for my kid picture and he was so in love with it that he took it to school.
Banu H says
I have used my papercrafting supplies to create simple home decor like picture frames, decorate wooden blocks and also to create some simple banners for festivals.
Kris says
I have made banners for birthdays, decorated a frame, and wooden letters for my craft room. Those banners are going to fly tonight!
Loving all the wonderful ideas!!
Teresa Blue says
I love making home decor items with my supplies. I’ve altered lots of things like canvas and old pictures etc. Love the banner dies! Can’t wait to use them to decorate my mother’s mantle.
T. Blue
Marie L says
I can’t say I really have. I did make the little house using the HOME MADE set. I love it and it stands in the family room. I also made a little box out of match boxes. I don’t know if you really can call that home decor.
Can’t wait for tonights release.
Elizabeth Beasterfield says
The only thing I’ve made that might qualify as home decor is I decorated a customize your own travel coffee mug from Starbucks with my scrapbooking stamps and cardstock – it was fun, but I’d really love to do more. UBER excited about the banners in this release!!
www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawlhddLTy_EV8i6XPd8bpoTLElij1jMjLsk says
Yes,with my papercrafting supplies, I have just completed a Thanksgiving banner.
winjes says
My sister and I decorated my nieces “big girl” room using papercrafting. We made special frames, hanging knobs, and beautiful crosses. We’re just about to start on my 2nd nieces big girl room too!
By the way – I love your Nov release. Can’t wait to play with them.
Lisa S. says
I haven’t used my papercrafting in home decor but I’ve definitely used it in helping with school projects for my children!
Stacy says
I’ve made picture frames, paper gift baskets, stamped onsies, decorative signs, coasters. I love to craft and create things, especially for gifts for friends and family. I so love it all this month and every month, thanks for keeping my hobby new and fun!
Lori W. says
I have a table-top size tree that I bought at Pier 1 Imports that I decorate for holidays, seasons and birthdays. I use my die cuts, stamps, and scrapbook supplies to create the decorations. It sits in the kitchen on our breakfast bar so we get to see it every day! My girls always enjoy their special birthday tree!
Carol says
I’ve made frames, decorated storage containers, refurbished small items, such as coasters… pretty basic stuff. I am so excited about this release and all the possibilites!
Robbie Baker says
Yes I made a Halloween banner, some Christmas ornaments and one of those paper chains decorated for Christmas. I can’t wait to get all of your banner products and make banners for all of the holidays!
Carol J. says
Just recently I have made two banners. The first banner I made was for my granddaughter’s 2nd birthday. I used the nestabilities scalloped circle as my base. I used sheer ribbon to connect each scalloped circle. It was definitely the finishing touch. As the DT says:”Swoon”. The theme was curious George so I used primary colors.
Last month my newesst grandaughter was christened. I made a banner that read: “God Bless Lilly.”
My sister suggested that I keep the banner for when she makes her first communion. I thought that was a great suggestion. However now that I have seen these new ideas, I am going to embellish the original banner with some new background layers.
Zena B. says
Well, I’ve tried stenciling but failed miserably at it. I think I put on too much paint (should have been dabbing) so that my images were not crisp and clean. Made a terrible mess trying to clean it up and haven’t tried that project again since.
Vera Yates says
I used my papercrafting skills to make a few ornaments before. With this new releases I’ll be so tempted to try to make more. Thank you so much for the chance. I would be so grateful if I can win these amazing releases. Thank you so much for the chance.
Bree Delaire says
I’ve made a few things but nothing I really display. I’m currently working on a small hanging for Christmas. I’m excited to try making a holiday banner using the new collection. Great work this month!!!
Fritz says
Many times. I’ve made decorative plates and Christmas ornaments. I stamped the walls in my bathroom with a baroque border and, my favorite thing, wall art with the word “HOPE” that I have in my bedroom. I made it shortly after my divorce and it continues to remind me to stay hopeful.
Diana says
I made Christmas tree ornaments one year (medallion type) but nothing else that I can remember. Though I do consider the mini scrapbooks that I make home decor. I display them throughout the house and people seem to enjoy them – especially my grandsons who love looking at themselves!
Deanne Sanchez says
I always use my paper crafting supplies for my kids birthday parties … from invitations, decorations (like banners and centerpieces), cupcake or cake toppers, games, pinata, gift bags and thank you cards … i like how I can personalize them and don’t look store bought at all … it’s my labor of love =D
Jamie Gracz says
I have made picture frames, but that is about it. I might have to start making banners now though. I love this release. Keep up the good work.
Bobbette Cochran says
My husband bought me a Cricut cake 6 months ago and since I can’t bake everyday I started scrapbooking. I have enjoyed finding my new passion during the holidays. I have already made paper pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving. And I am already planning on creating tons of things for Christmas.
picklethings says
Yes. I have made several “memory” pictures and also have made several wedding invitations into pictures using paper and other accents.
Erin says
I haven’t used my paper crafting skills (yet!) for home decor, but have made some decor around my house – specifically jewelry holders to showcase my jewelry. Can’t wait for all the goodies tonight!
Lori B says
I’ve made a few Christmas decorations and a paper wreath or two. This isn’t really home decor, but I’ve just finished making 200 wedding party favors with some of my PTI papers/stamps for my son’s wedding on Saturday! They are so cute:)
Jo Ann Mooney says
I have made multiple Christmas Ornaments, picture frames, photo collages and many other fall,Christmas, and Easter projects. I love to make personalized momentos. Thanks for the chance of winning!
katie says
I’ve wall hangings, ornaments, decorated frames, paper boxes and mirrors. My favorite is a box that we keep our numerous remote controls in. I made it out of 4 CD jewel cases and lots of paper crafting supplies and photos.
Sherrie T says
Yes! Definitely!! My girls and I love to make seasonal items. We find that fun because, although they can be used year after year, we can also redo them very economically with the new trends or styles (or using new product that we LOVE each year). This year we love the banners but also look forward to making more ornaments and hopefully even a complete Christmas village out of paper. My girls make rooms signs for each season and I love shadow boxes too. I just love that papercrafting allows so many options that you can just let your creativity run WILD!! My adrenaline is really going tonight. Can’t wait!
Anemone says
I’ve used my papercrafting a few times for home decor – mostly for Christmas items. I’ve done stamped candles several times for gifts. I’ve also done several different types of Christmas tree ornaments with papercrafting supplies.
Jennifer Ferrell says
I have made so many different types of papercraft home decor. My favorite things have been tissue box houses. I have made one for each season and some just for holidays like Christmas and Halloween.
I have made several as gifts too. Last year I made a spooky Halloween one for my sister. She loves it so much it stays out year round!
Thank you for making the most fabulous pennant dies and stamps!
Jan Ledman says
Yes, I’ve made many items but pillows and a shadow boxes come to mind mostly. I like that we can branch out and use supplies in so many different ways.
Michelle says
YES, absolutely! Most of my pictures hanging on my walls at home are all made by me…home decor!
Leilani says
One of my favorite home decors that I’ve made is a large canvas piece where I have a variety of photos, journaling and misc. embellishments. The photos and journaling are of my family. It’s a home decor I get many compliments of … and request to help my friends and family make.
Cassi, San Diego says
I just got started in the “home decor” realm with some banners for my baby shower last month. I was so inspired by all of the wonderful flag/pennant banner ideas I’ve seen online that I had to made one. And then I made two more! These are also a great way to use up some smaller pieces of felt, paper, and ribbon that you’ve been saving.
Jennifer D says
I often use my scrapbooking/paper crafting supplies for home projects! I used my Silhouette machine to cut a stencil to add the words on my son’s birthday cake. Wall hangings and little framed bits of “art” are pretty common. I’ve used my foam stamps on picture frames. My adhesives and paper cutter find many uses. Sometimes I feel like I go to my craft room more often for “household” needs than for crafting!
Thanks for a great release… and a chance to win!
Cindy S. says
OH yes! I often make seasonal banners with the kids using chipboard coasters. SO looking forward to the new banner dies for this!!! We also make 12×12 artwork and hang it in frames for display. The kids love to take themed materials or color related materials to make collages for their rooms.
Susy says
I’ve used my crafty goodies to decorate frames for my boys rooms, on the walls in my living area and as OTP gifts. I love htis months release, gorgeous.
Vickie S says
I love using my crafting skills to make home decor items. Recently I made fall garland using die cut leaves and pumpkins. Looks beautiful across the mantel!
mandy says
I’ve used papercrafting skills mostly to make decorations for the Christmas season – a framed wall hanging, and paper Christmas tree ornaments for when my oldest son was young enough for me to worry about putting breakable ornaments on our tree.
Regan D'Agostino says
well, i quilt and sew…the papers i love make it easier to mix up patterns
Annamaria Miller says
I have made a few home decor items using my paper crafting skills. A very pretty fall wreath and a couple of shadow boxes. When I think home decor I don’t really think about paper crafting. That’s about to change with the new releases. My mind is full of new ideas. Thanks!
michelle l says
I guess it was more office decor – when my company moved into new offices, I altered giant paperclips for myself and several coworkers to use as photo holders on our new desks. I’m sure I’ve done some other things, too, but those were the first to come to mind!
Renee Lynch says
I can’t recall ever using papercrafting skills in decorating my home, but there is evidence of all my other little crafty skills when I look around: painting, sewing, florals…
Laurie G says
I have done a very special home decor project with paper crafting. I spelled out my granddaughter’s name with wooden letters that I decorated with paper, stamping, rub-ons and embellishments. That was such a super fun project too with wonderful memories. Thanks for reminding me.
lisa Garzona says
I bought a few 12×12 frames and made layouts that look more like art to hang in my home as well as giving them as gifts. I love personalizing them for family and friends and they love hanging them and looking at these one of a kind gift.
Shannon F says
This is the best time to bring out all the papers, embellishments, ribbon and make holiday decorations. Just finished making a few great decorations…a Christmas wreath and wooden letters with paper decoupaged onto them – what a center piece!
Love..love…love PaperTrey Ink – thanks for the inspiration and challenge.
betty lou says
Christmas ornaments, birthday decorations, and frames are paper crafts that I have attempted in home decor! I have been wanting to make banners, and your new banner dies will be just what I need to create those now! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Tonya says
I have decorated picture frames and background art work(alcohol inks) for my husbands scroll saw art but that is about all. Excited for tonight’s release, can’t wait to see what my paycheck will be bringing me this month!
jsneers in MA says
I have not created home decor with my supplies, though I’m always inspired to do so by you and your PTI DT. Maybe when life slows down this spring, I’ll give it a whirl.
Linda W says
Mostly holiday things. But I have several framed Sherensnitte (I know that’s not spelled correctly) pieces and I’ve down vinyl wall art, but that’s not paper. Lots of cards and scrapbooking though.
sarah says
i can’t think of anything that i have made for my house, but my mantle is screaming for a banner 🙂 i love, love, love all of the inspiration you guys have given this week!
Lori Campbell says
No, not really but I’ve seen so many great suggestions in recent weeks and months that I may have to take the plunge some time soon! I have a dozen or so empty picture frames that I bought but haven’t ever put up so it might be fun to fill some of them with paper-crafting “art”!
Maureen says
the only thing I can think of is the seating plan for my nephew’s wedding. I stamped the actually paper I used for the seating plan and added flowers…but nothing for the home…YET!!
Jasmin Owsley says
I have used papercrafting before to decorate my home! I have made napkin rings, table settings, wreaths, and hanging decor for outside my home. Not only is everything beautiful but my husband “sees” where my money goes! LOL!!!
Becky says
I have crocheted items but I can’t think of any paper crafting items that I have done.
Bean says
When I first discovered paper-crafting, I didn’t realize that there were so many possibilities for home decor items until I started browsing paper-crafting sites, including this one! Since then, I’ve made several home decor items, though I live in such a tiny little space that I end up giving most of them away as gifts!
Kristin Burge says
I have made several things, but my favorite is hanging up right now. It is a banner that spells out autumn. I love that I can put it up in Sept. and keep it up until Thanksgiving.
Thanks for the great release!!!
-Kristin B.
Christine McMullin says
I must confess that I haven’t used my papercrafting skills to decorate my home. As much as I love papercrafting, I feel like I’m all thumbs when it comes to decorating my home. My husband has a good eye for color so I leave most of the decorating decisions up to him. But…those banner dies might just inspire me to give it a whirl.
Amy Main says
I have! My favorite was creating wonderful storage boxes (paper mache boxes), covering them with patterned paper and fancy embellishments. Using the old fashioned scissors for different edges (the paper world has changed so much). Still love them!
So excited to here – my very 1st time!
Chrissy says
Yes, I have here and there, I’ve made an advent calendar and some Christmas decorations. I’ve also used my papercrafting supplies to decorate and embellish collage style photo frames and to make altered frame wall decor. Always trying to find a way to get my money’s worth out of my stuff (which makes it easier to justify buying more, of course!!).
Heather Mills says
I don’t think I have ever made home decor, but I have been contemplating for a while now making some kind of name “banner” for my girls’ doors to their rooms. Maybe after this release I will actually make real banners! All your releases are fabulous and I can’t wait to see all the sets in their entirety. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing creativity with us!!!
Maria from ChiTown says
I’m sorry to say that I have not creating any home decor. My crafting skills are soley reserved for card making but I am willing to try, especially with all the new items from this month’s release!
C Burke says
I’ve made Christmas ornaments and embellished picture frames with paper. It’s so rewarding to see the results when a project is finished!
Ella Jerome says
I haven’t tried making home decor but I’m sure that will change when I receive my order of the banner building collection! I love everything this month, thanks for the opportunity to win!
Lee Anne Skipper says
No! But I sure see some banners happening in this household very soon. This release is amazing!!!
Lori Kistler says
I made a paper flower bouquet for my Mother for Mothers Day. I added all kinds of embellishments to make flower centers and things for leaves and petals.
I have also done calendars with friends where we each made one a different month. Everytime I looked at it I had wonderful thoughts of each of my friends.
Mindy says
I haven’t made any home decor with my craft supplies yet but I would LOVE to! I have been wanting to try making a banner for months but was intimidated where to even start. With the new banner dies, it’s going to be a breeze!
Sue Plote says
I have, and I have made several things … basket tags, banners and altered photo frames. I’m soooo excited to get these new banners!! I’ll be making one for every holiday now!!
Kristy says
I make a lot of boxes for gift giving and like to display many of them on my couch table. I make them into a seasonal display along with little figurines, dolls, greenery and the like. I have also made paper flowers and put them into bright ceramic vases. These were a lot of fun.
I love this month’s new releases and can’t wait to be able to add many of them to my paper crafting collection!
Cheri Mosgrove says
I have made a couple of banners. . . one for me and one for my mom. All of the fun banner building tools have me itching to make some more though! I can see that this could be really addicting! 🙂
Anne G says
I made some quilled snowflake ornaments a few years ago and hope to make a few more this year.
Judy S says
No, unfortunately, I haven’t used my papercrafting skills for a home decor project. I love the banner idea and you have provided us with so many cute project ideas. So this may be my perfect chance to add a banner to my decor!
Joscie says
I’ve made garlands/banners, framed art, covered letters. 🙂
Summer braxton says
Oh yes! I’ve jazzed up some wooden letters for my daughter’s room; i’ve done several pieces of wall art; magnets and ornaments! Paper and stamps are just too beautiful for just cards and layouts.
Rhonda M. says
I’ve made a few things for my home including some picture frames, scrapbook pages for the wall and some fun decor items for my 11 year old nieces room. I’m looking forward to trying out some of the banners in the future!
Nancy Karmann says
I’m just starting. Let’s say definitely bitten by the bug. My first project is a shadow box wreath and it turned out pretty good. I’m already planning my banner!
Jennifer Holmes says
I love it when I can incorporate some of my papercrafting supplies into my home decor, although it doesn’t happen as often as I’d like. However, the holidays are right around the corner and I have big plans to put all of my new supplies to good use! Which makes my purchases even more justified:)
Teresa H says
Hmmm…. I’m stamped on tiles – does that count? Other than that, nope, I haven’t made any home decor objects.
Linda says
Christmas always seems to bring out the paper crafter/decorator in me. Last year I made advent calendars for my two boys! This year, I’m going to make an awesome banner! LOL! Other holidays and special occasions are going to get banners too!
thanks for the chance to win!
Linda
Stephanie Washburn says
I haven’t used my papercrafting supplies for decor projects…. YET! I can’t wait to get my hands on the banner products so I can make a fun Christmas banner to hang on my mantle! Thanks!
Teresa Brada says
I have used stamps to make a background for a quote that I liked and framed it…that is the only thing that I can think of.
Sherry says
I have made an Advent calendar using a cookie sheet and lots of scraps. And although it isn’t paper I cut vinyl with my Cricut and have done lots of home decor that way. Can’t wait to try a banner!!
Roxann says
A dear friend taught me to stamp on tissue paper and then melt it onto a candle. They make great decorations!
Kelly Schirmer says
I have made candle wraps to go around those little battery operated pillar candles…wouldn’t want my hard work to go up in flames! They made nice little gifts!

Nancy M says
I haven’t used my paper crafting skills for home decor… unless wallpapering counts. 😉
Aussie Emma says
Instead of using a boring cork board to display the kids paintings and drawings etc. I got a large artist canvas, painted and decorated it. Hung it in the hall for everyone to see. Used ribbons and pretty pegs etc to display the pictures. The banners would be great to add to it, love the mums aswell by the way.
Nicoleskm says
I’ve made wall decals and pillows from stamps and die cuts. Love, love this release! Genius strikes again!
Suzanne Daniels says
I most certainly have. Last year I made Christmas Trees using the polystyrene trees from Joanns and then covered them in patterned that I scalloped and used the Holiday Button Bits Stamp Set to embelish them, especially that cute gingerbread man. I made three of them, all different sizes amd evem if I say so myself, they were seriously cute.
steph zerbe says
I use papercrafting skills all the time for home decor items. I add stamped images to small frame windows and clipped digi art for artsy canvases. And every season around here has it’s own banner!! There is so much to love about this month’s release. Thanks for the chance to win, month after month, post after post! One day I will break through. lol
Ginny A. says
I mostly have handmade holiday items, like ornaments, but can’t wait to expand my range to every day decorating! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Kathy says
I’ve made some cardboard xmas houses, wreathes, desk organizers and frames. I love using all the beautiful papers out there!
Kelly Braund says
Definately! In fact, I just made a photo tray project for Halloween that turned out adorable! I think I’m going to do one for Christmas as well! I like to make ornaments each Christmas for us as well as to put on packaged gifts so I use a lot of my papercrafting supplies & ideas for those and this year- lots of PTI felt! 🙂
Bonnie H. says
I have used my paper crafts for many different house decor!!! Some of it good,
lol Some of it horrible! . I have made frames, labels for my kitchen jars, Christmas calendars, frige magnets flowers and cook books, ornaments for the christmas tree, and even picture magnets for my husbands tool box lol.
Cheri says
I made letters for in my daughter’s room and just today made an advent calendar. I also have 3 picture frames (8×8) that I scrapped and change out the pictures each year.
Lovely sets and dies!!!! Just love the Take 3!
Elaine -the soil scientist says
Yes I have. I have made several centerpieces for the table during the holidays and decorating during Halloween, birthday parties at my office. I just love to make things!

I love creating home decor with my paper crafting “stuff.” I have made pillows using the embossed velvet stamping technique, decorated candles by melting stamps tissue paper to them, and numerous framed art pieces. Fun! Fun!
SOO excited for this release!!!!
Sarah Fisher says
I love using my papercrafting skills for all sorts of home projects–including picture frames, seasonal decor items, Christmas ornaments, calendars and so much more. Since I discovered PTI a couple years ago, the possibilities have been endless!
Carol says
My favorite is the bulletin board above my stamping desk that holds many of stamped sample ideas and inspirations.
Lori Winters says
I love using my stamps and paper to make just about anything…. I have made a clock for my bathroom to match my decor. I stamped the images for the background and then purchased the clockworks from the local craft store. I’ve painted and stamped picture frames and made picture frames with just paper when I want to give a photo as a gift.. I’ve also used my stamps to make a custom shower curtain to match the colors in my bathroom.
Renee V. (happystamper05) says
I’ve only done a few home decor items…. altered frames, stamped candles, calendars, embellished wall art, and a few knick-knacks (altered wood letters and such).
I’m really looking forward to making some banners for different occassions!
Absolutely love this months release… what a treat it’s been visiting your blog this past week!
Lindsey Larsen says
I’ve used my papercrafting supplies to decorate the inside of picture frames,make some Christmas decorations, make some word blocks, and make a couple birthday banners, but that’s about it. I’ve seen tons of ideas that I’ve wanted to try, but haven’t quite found the time to do them yet. I’m so excited for this release!
Kristi Lewis says
I have made just a few home dec items: a few canvas’, a calendar, and some baby nursery items for my niece. I would love to make more but cannot seem to find the time. So loving all of this wonderful inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.
christi says
I use my paper craftiness all the time to create home decor. I love making canvases for different seasons and events.
Jackie says
I’ve used paper crafting for everything from decorating candles to making placemats to decorating our Christmas tree. I love finding a new use for all my supplies.
One reason I’m so excited about the new banner die is because I’ve made banners for holidays and birthdays for years. It’ll be nice to not have to hand cut everything.
Barbara Axmacher says
I have not yet used papercrafting to make home decor. If you look around my home though, you will agree that i could use some more decorative elements! I am inspired by the banners I’ve seen lately and think that will be my best start!
Donna Delaire says
I have not made any home decor with paper crafts but I have created many knit and sewn projects to display throughout the year. Perhaps I’ll try paper craft decor this season. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Nancy Batchelder says
Nothing too exciting. A banner for my grandson’s 1st BD and then some cute little houses that were used as place cards for a girls family reunion. The itinerary was listed inside. It still sits on my desk as a reminder of getting together w/ my family.
Holly F. says
I made my first significant papercrafted decor this Halloween. I had blast putting together a 7 Gypsies ATC tray with Halloween motif. PTI contributed with the Friendship Jar and Fall Fillers. Thanks for the chance to win.
nancy nelson says
I have made a few Banners but not to the professional level the the new dies will enable me to do!
Sheryl C says
Banners, Banners, Banners! I made a precious banner for my cousin’s new baby girl in pinks and browns. I’ve made banners for the holidays. I love making them, especially as gifts!
nina says
I’ve made a few small things, but last year I made my biggest projects yet – an advent calendar for my 2 young boys and a snow scene play kit using Made of Snow. That was a lot of fun! Really looking forward to making holiday banners…
samtha johnson says
A few type, but it’s hard to stray from card making.
Brooke says
One of the things that I’ve turned my hand to is making Christmas bon bons (crackers). The store bought ones are so expensive and I love to be able to personalise them with gifts that I know the recipient will love. I have a $5 budget for each gift and obviously is needs to fit inside an empty toilet roll. Instead of jokes I do a heap of research and write down a whole heap of Christmas related facts and history. I throw in a couple of jokes for good measure. It’s something that once I made it I’ve had to continue it year after year but I do love doing it.
Kathy R says
I’ve made Christmas decorations but that’s about it. But I’ve got all kinds of ideas for those banner dies. Thanks for a chance to win.
Sallie says
In all honesty, I have not. I’m hoping to get the banner dies and start! : ) I think that would be fantastic for the holidays.
Suzanne says
I;ve used my crafting supplies to make pictures for my 3rd daughter’s nursery and party decorations! What a great countdown…thanks for all the inspiration. You guys never disappoint!
AnneSATX says
The only thing I’ve made is a Christmas … sign? picture? with three openings and the letters inside decorated and spelling out JOY. Not very original, but it was fun and it looks great.
Janice Melton says
No I haven’t done any for Home Decor but I have decorated gift bags and such.
Detra Parks says
Not yet, other than party decorations but I can’t wait to try. Love this months release. Thanks for the chance to win….
Sarah Martina says
Oh ABSOLUTELY! I love creating decorative frames and fun paper bouquets… Something I know PTI’s coordinating stamps & dies are great for!
Rosanne says
I’ve altered various home decor items and made some banners. Love the new release especially the banner builders!
Katie Gehring says
I love using my papercrafting supplies for home decor projects. I have decorated frames, made decor for my daughter’s nursery, created birthday and holiday banners, designed and framed favorite quotes, and made ornaments for our Christmas tree. I love being able to fill our home with these little touches to remind my family how much I care about them.
Cyndie says
I guess the first home decor item I ever made was as a kid in the scouts, folding those small magazines, page by page, then fanning out the pages so it would stand up. Can’t remember what it was used for, though. Nowadays my paper crafting is a bit more sophisticated. Thanks for the great release!
Avital says
Other then my paintings I don’t really do home decor. The only thing I can remember doing is putting up a Hanukkah spread on the window shelf with Dreidels, Menorah, glass beads and an embellished match box for lighting the Hanukkah candles…
Sheila A says
I made a banner for Halloween and Thanksgiving, but that’s about it
Elizabeth S. says
I have made a tribute to my Grandmother using her buttons that were given to me. It is in a frame using different stamps and different embellishments on 12 different dollies which are decorated separately making sure each one had a least one button. I have also decorated picture frames and several other things with templates. I love the idea of homemade around the house. I also make gifts for others and they display them in their homes.
Mary H. says
Decorated some CD’s in patterned paper and flowers, spelled out HOME in chipboard on them and hung them with ribbon in my craft room, which I still really enjoy looking at it. I’m always been interested in making homemade banners for birthdays, holidays and so forth, but it seemed too time-consuming most of the time. The ULTIMATE Banner collection is going to make it a SNAP to put together cute banners quickly. …….and I can’t WAIT!!
Jen Adcock says
I have in fact with greateror lesser degrees of success. I often decoupage my unused card making die cuts or spare stamped images onto trays and well loved bits of old furiture to breathe new life into them. Great for also getting some extra millage out of the kids bedroom furniture which unfortunately doesn’t grow with them.
Kris says
We’ve got a huge old fashioned country barn that has been decorated while raising our three kids every which way you can imagine. Fall barn parties, square dancing parties, birthday parties, graduation parties and most recently, our daughters wedding rehearsal dinner and reception. We’ve had lots of great paper crafting memories under those rafters… (give me a theme and I’m off and running)!
Polly says
I’ve framed a couple of stamping pieces and they are now hanging in my bathroom and guest room. Thanks for the chance to win….really fun stuff in this months release!
Kristen Cohen says
I use my skill to decorate canvases for my walls, jar candles for gifts, centerpieces you name it!
Always look forward to you releases! Thank you for the giveaway chance!
Lexi says
I love putting a homemade spin on my home decorating. My most favorite is the clipboards that I made to house my kids’ chore charts. This is a great release! I can’t wait to get my hands on….it all! 🙂
Tan says
Though it isn’t exactly home decor, I used my papercrafting skills to make the favors and centerpieces for my daughter’s wedding.
Beth Meier says
I made a Valentines day banner last year that I hung on my fireplace….I loved it!
I loved it because I made it with my daughter and she was so proud of what we had done!
Wanda says
I have done a few things, but mostly I love showcasing my scrapbook layouts in acrylic frames. You can swap them out to fit your themes.
Karen S. says
I haven’t made any home decor items yet but I do display many of my CHA papertrey cards on the iron birdcage card holder in my craftroom!! Maybe that counts!
Steph Connor says
All of the time! I’ve made banners, invitations, favors, and party hats for all of my kids’ birthdays. I’ve also made ornaments and Christmas wreaths and decorated picture frames, wooden blocks, and wooden letters. Cannot wait to get my hands on those banner dies!!!
Anna (doctorfoodie) says
I have made a few things for my baby daughter’s room – a (diecut) butterfly mobile, a nursery door decoration with her name on it, an altered frame with a scrapbook layout inside for her wall, mats for photos. I really like doing that, and as a bonus, it’s more visible to me and others.
Helen F. says
Not sure if this can be considered paper-crafts in home decor, but I have made centerpieces for the Holidays and decorated homemade food gifts for family and friends with stamps and embellies :o)
Thanks for a fun release PTI~all of the DT have been so creative and inspiring!
Deanna says
Oh for sure, I have made paper chandeliers, pencil holders, decorated magazine holders, magnets for fridge, tree ornaments, I could go on! I love paper crafts and especially PTI!
Sarah Randell says
With two children, the new PTI banner products would make amazing decorations for birthday parties. I would also love to make holiday decorations.
Terri Bills says
The only thing i have made that could be considered home decor was an altered frame i made for my husband for our 5th anniversary. I think he liked it. I am so excited about tonight’s release and can’t wait to see everything.
Tammy W. says
I’ve made a few ornaments for decorating at Christmas but have always wanted to try making banners. This month’s release is “PTI PERFECT” (as is every month’s release!) and I am looking forward to getting the banner making products and have some fun! Thank you for this most generous opportunity to win this awesome prize package! PTI rocks!!
annheidel says
Does woven paper star ornaments count? 😀 I’ve made lots of home decor with decorative painting, cross-stitch, sewing, that sort of thing. I can’t think of any paper-crafted ones off the top of my head. Obviously, something I need to remedy!!
Danell H. says
I have made a halloween scene to put in a frame for the wall. I am currently trying to finish a paper leaf wreath that I saw on Dawn McVey’s site, really cute. Thanks so much!
Judy Walsh says
Yes, I have used my supplies to make a few things. My favorite was a shadow box type of frame that I made with my friend’s baby’s name highlighted on the little clothes hanging on real wooden hangers on a clothesline. Turned out cute. Oh, I also made a personalized sign for a friend’s laundry room in her favorite colors. I’d love to do more, I have so many ideas (and tons of inspiration from you and your awesome design team). Thanks.
jen shears says
I’ve made several banners (won’t this month’s release make THAT easier!)- frames, large letters embellished with pretty paper, etc! I love when my hobbies overlap!!! 🙂 Thanks for all the inspiration & fun (as always)!!
Lori M says
I have only made frames! I’ve always intended to make other things but haven’t done it yet!
Excellent release!!!
charity says
I have done some crafting for home decor, just not paper crafting. I hope to do an advent calendar and some other things this year. 🙂
Jennifer H. says
I make Christmas ornaments every year for a local nursing home. I never get tired of seeing people’s face light up when they receive a handmade ornament. It makes them feel like someone remembered them even when they are away from their families.
diane mcvey says
No, I have not used my paper crafting supplies to make home decor items.
Thanks for doing the give-away yet again! 😀
ChrisTea says
I’ve made garlands for the Holidays from punched circle tags and buttons a la Pine. Making fabric pennant flags was going to be an upcoming craft – but now I might have to do paper!!!
Julie S says
I’ve made seasonal home decor things like a cute little Christmas Advent Calendar, Christmas tree ornaments, Birthday banners when my boys were young…nothing quite like the ones possible with PTI’s November release though! Such fun!
JenMarie says
But of course! 😉
I’ve made a banner, topiary… Hmmm…more but I can’t think right now. ha!

That’s what I’m going to do when I win the November release! I’m going to use those large sized banners!

Yes i have, tons of stuff! Ornaments, picture frames, paper flower arrangements on twigs in a vase, decorations for just about every holiday, candle holders, recipe tins, clocks, etc… love to craft with paper!
Bernadette M. says
I have made tile coasters, which I guess can qualify as functional home decor. I have also made a birthday banner using my Cricut, but nothing as fancy and elaborate as the banners created by the DT team. I will definitely try to create a banner for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
DarC says
I’ve made some small paper embellies to add color to items I use daily. It’s a bit of color and whimsy that gives me an inner “giggle”. I added a embellishment to the coffee filter holder so that my husband would get a laugh too. He saw it and told me he really liked it; it was a pleasant surprise for me!
Britiney @ Consider the Lilies says
So many things! Banners, mini books, decorations for so many holidays, advent calendars, wreaths, you name it! I love paper crafting to decorate my home!! Thanks so much for a chance to win!!!
Cindy Lee says
I make a lot of Holiday decor, but the last thing I really went all out for was my daughters graduation party. Making banners, centerpieces, cake decorations and gifts! I had a blast crafting and I was told the room looked great! (And it was all on a low budget!)
leanne says
I’ve made a few different things. I’ve stamped on coasters and candles. I’ve made boxes to keep my crafting supplies in. I also made a calendar for my mom every year, which she keeps on her fridge. I’ve never attempted a banner, but I’m so excited to try one!!
Anna Was says
I have made ornaments, a Jesse tree, picture frames and various other small projects. The release this month of the banners will certainly add something new for me to papercraft! Can’t wait…everyone at PTI continue to amaze me every month!
JoAnna says
I have made art accents for my room. I love creating things and am especially excited about this release to add more things got my room and friends.
MJ says
I guess rub-ons are considered papercrafting supplies, right? I had bought a pack of rub-ons and a ceramic pitcher and tried to copy a tutorial from some website/blog. It was meant as a Mother’s Day present. I liked how it turned out, but being the perfectionist that I am, I wasn’t too comfortable giving it as a present. So it currently sits on my console table collecting dust, loose change, and other knick-knacks.
toni1 says
I just made an advent box and a banner for Christmas. My favorite project this year was a fall wreath. After cards home decor projects are my favorite. I’m so excited about the new banner dies and can’t wait to use them. Thanks for all the great product.
Kathy W says
Yes, I have many times…I have made pictures with stamping and collage elements, accordion books to display on a mantel open, banners and signs
Peggy Sue says
I have made home decor items from papercraft supplies. I just recently made a slide out box with tea candles emblished with stamped tissue paper. They turned out so cute.

Yes, and hot glue is amazing! I’ve made a few things: curtains, pillow cases but my fav was a pair of mini lamp shades that I based off of a card that I had made but I will always return to my first love of papercrafting and stamping!
Deborah S says
I made napkin rings and coordinating place cards last Thanksgiving and plan to do so again this year. I’ve also made seasonal wraps for the bulb ‘candle’ bases on the chandelier in my dining room. I’m seeing gorgeous banners in my future decorating too!
Bree Jerome says
I’ve created frames using paper and embellishments but am very, very excited to try making a banner. I’m sure it will be addicting and I’ll find myself creating one for every season! I love the entire release!! Thank you!!!
Brenda Weaver says
oh my, yes!! I LOVE to use my paper crafting supplies for home decor items. I’ve made everything from decorated and/or stamped candles and frames to old windows turned into chore charts, frames for photos, and most recently a place to hand wet hats and mittens- all with my paper crafting supplies. I’ve made canvases, banners, and also decorated an old piece that was once used to display little trinkets and a little chest I found at Goodwill. I’ve made lots and lots of seasonal items to display around my home. I rarely ever buy new decor pieces for my home. I mostly make what I want out of my paper crafting supplies or alter something that I can find at a flea market or thrift store. It’s a fabulously inexpensive way to create one of a kind pieces for your home.
This is a fabulous release!! I really think you have outdone yourselves this time!
Jessica says
My very first attempt of creating home decor with paper crafting was for my son’s first birthday (almost 5 years ago!). I was new to paper crafting, but I wanted something unique, so I was inspired to create my own decorations. I made a simple banner and centerpieces. Looking back, the things I made were so simple compared to how my skills have evolved over time, but I will always treasure what I made and how it made his first birthday so special.
misse336 says
I’ve made a name frame for my daughter’s room and altered picture frames for around the house.

Karen Lazar says
Where do I begin? I have made candle rings, canvases, picture frames, banners, chalkboards, quilt hangings, and Christmas ornaments. All your products make adding cool crafty things to my home so much fun! My favorite thing I have ever made is a “Be Well” banner I made for my dad when he had open heart surgery. He hung it in his hospital room as well as in their family room when he came home. I would just flip if I win this release!
Wendy says
I’ve made various items, christmas ornaments, topiaries, seasonal framed pictures, etc. I would love to add banners.
Geri Freeman says
I made the game gifts for my niece’s baby shower: a frame for the winning guest and a frame for the baby’s room, embellished two bottles for the scented oils/reeds–one for guest, one for baby’s room, also covered a set of paper mache’ boxes for the baby’s room for the shower gift. I’m really excited at the possibilities of the large banner dies for home decor and think they will make great gifts!
Michelle M. says
My daughter and I haven’t done anything yet, but we’re having so much fun getting ideas, and wondering if we’ll actually ever have enough time to do them all!
Jan S says
two places to post tonight, so I am posting in both spots–
I have always been able to use my “stash” to make things for gifts and for my own home. I love to make handmade gifts to give to friends and family, and I have always decorated for the holidays, with decoupaged items, frames, wreaths, ornaments, etc. This month’s release will help to make this so much easier!! Thanks you all so much for all of your creativity and all of the small touches that you have included to make it so much easier for us to use and coordinate your products! Great job this month!!
Mary Eason says
Not often. I’ve framed a few LOs for a wall display, made decorations for parties, altered containers for desk storage, but that’s about it.
Lisa Petrella says
I have used my papercrafting supplies to make picture frames! It’s so much fun! I’d love to try to make other home decor items in the future!
Julie Cameron says
I love to use my stamps and decorate candles with the tissue paper technique and then make a matching wrap and tag…makes great Xmas gifts!
LaurieJ says
Unfortunately, the only thing that I have tried is creating magnets for the refrigerator using PTI dies and felt. It was so easy and fun! I really SHOULD try something more, but I definitely keep busy with my card making. Thank you for another beautiful release and all the fab inspiration.
Louise says
I have used my papercrafting skills for ornaments, and all kinds of Valentine’s, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holiday items for myself and my friends. I find it therapeutic! Congratulations on a another awesome PTI release!

Becky P. says
I have made scrapbook pages on canvas for my parents walls. I have made a framed collage for my parents as well. A couple of years ago, I made an advent calendar. I have created banners for my son’s room, but nothing as great as I could make with the new banner set and accessories. I just cannot wait to see what everyone will come up with. Houses are really going to be decked out this year!
Chris L. says
Mostly I have used my papercrafting supplies to make birthday party decorations–posters, party favors, that kind of thing. But based on all the inspiration this month, I think I might be broadening my horizons!
Thanks for a great month!
Ange kelly says
I have never made decor to around the house, but after this release I may have to! LOL!

Congratulations on another super release!
Lissette Pellegrino says
Yes, holiday decor,place mats, place cards,ornaments and wreaths. Adore this November release!

I have used paper crafting to enhance photos that I’ve taken, of landscapes and my family, to decorate my house. I love using bright paper to enhance a black and white photo.
This is only my second release since discovering PTI less than two months ago. I love this new release and finding myself addicted to PTI! Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Yes, I made a banner for my fireplace mantle from scrapbooking supplies. The new large-scale banner dies may temp me to make another one. So excited for the release tonight!
itsterry says
I purchased some glass frames from the $ Store and stamp new ‘insides’ for them. I’ve made holiday ones and all occasion ones. Given them to family, friends and even included them in gift baskets for the high school auction. Love the November release — so excited!
Deb C says
I copied Alli’s ribbon wreath for my moms for Christmas gifts. I also framed a few stamped collages when I couldn’t find anything in the colors I wanted. With all the choices of cardstock and ink, I can match just about anything!

Yes, I have made wall-hangings, banners, picture frames, and various Christmas goodies to use in my decorating. I especially like to use my paper crafting to make gifts for Christmas.

Connie F. says
I have used my papercrafting supplies to decorate candles, picture frames, Christmas ornaments and center pieces, for Halloween, I covered wooden “Spooky” letters with paper, diecuts, ribbon, etc. I love the idea of party & Holiday banners, but have never made one—maybe now that PTI has made it so easy, I will finally try it! Thanks so much for the chance to win—I’m keeping my fingers crossed =)

My favorite one is a Christmas table tree that I make a couple of years ago.
Ellen Elizabeth says
I enjoy making creative gifts and decorating for holidays. I love the new banner products!

Yes, I made a framed wedding invitation, as well as a Christmas ornament once.

Yes, I have! I recently made a Halloween banner for my daughter and her roommate 🙂 Being first-time apartment renters, they had no holiday decorations and were thrilled to have the banner made of chipboard and Halloween paper!
Martha S. says
I’ve never used papercrafting to decorate, unless you count the tree I made out of folding up the pages of an old Reader’s Digest! Ha!
Kim G says
Not really, but I would love to change that with the Banner set!! You and the design team do such a great job of inspiration! You always keep coming up with something new. Great job!!
Nicole' Reeves says
I’ve never made home decor but I love to display my handmade albums, does that count? I’m excited to try making a banner for my daughter’s 1st birthday. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
stampyblock says
I love this question! Yes, I have made several things but the one that I am the most proud of is the painting that hangs over our bed. I loved this pattern paper from Basic Grey several years ago and thought if I could have it in an extra large size, it would be great wall art……so I grabbed a large carvas we had in storage, the paint we used for the walls and painted it to match the pattern paper. I know no paper was used in my finished art but my pattern paper was my inspiration and my paper craft experience gave me the courage. Love it and love everything I have seen so far this month! Probably my favorite release ever!
Melissa D. says
I don’t recall making anything for my home with paper. I have been planning on making a banner for seasons and holidays but haven’t yet gotten to it. The new dies would make this task so much easier.
Clouds says
I did once, I used one of my large flower stamp sets to make a paper flower arrangement that is still on my mantlepiece!!! 🙂
Thanks!

Janis says
I have bought inexpensive frames and either decorated the frame itself, or embellishments the photo area. It was nice to work on something other than a card or scrapbook page.
Christine Jensen says
Always! Everything:Chrsitmas countdown blocks, motivational thought blocks (can you tell I’m a woodworker too?). Seasonal decorations, favor treats for women at church, I love to mix the mediums of paper and wood.
jane says
i’ve used my papercrafting skills to create baby gifts and advent calendars.
Stacie D. says
Most of the papercrafting home decor I have made has been gifted to someone else, name frames, A(sk)S(eek)K(nock)frames, and Chipboard coasters/Name wall hangings. Easy last minute birthday gifts for my kids friends.
joy says
Yes, last 4th of July I made cards and decorated my mantle with them and cut out letters “HAPPY FOURTH”and put them across the fireplace — with the new die set this year I’ll be able to do a banner! Wahoo
Darlene says
I definetly use my supplies to repurpose items almost monthly. It is a passion of mine to be able to make something for my home versus purchasing because it is of my design and means more to us as a family. i just made a ‘gratitude’ board for this week to celebrate Thanksgiving. Excited to be able to see the Nov release in one place – it always amazes me each month..i don’t think it can get better and then you outdo the previous month. This looks like a winner for sure!
Amber Daigre says
I love to use my papercrafting supplies to make customized menus for my dinner parties. I choose colors and embellishments that coordinate with the party theme. Last menu I made was for a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Bridal Brunch.
Kathleen Pennington says
Yes, I made a luminaria tree for Christmas. I made 50 miniature brown paper bags to put on a string of Christmas tree lights that I attached to a catalpa branch. We use it every year and it is very cute. I a excited to see all the releases tonight.

Alyssa Pappas says
Oh yeah, lots of picture frame decorations, some cute little holiday signs, table decor, etc. I’d love to do more though, since my family really appreciates it, which I certainly love! Loved the release days and I can’t wait to see the stamp sets in full!
Anne B says
I’ve made Christmas ornaments and this year a ribbon wreath. I’m hoping for some banners in my near future though 🙂 Or maybe some other PTI home decor ideas next year?

I am very excited about the 3 window die and co ordinating stamps. Can’t wait to have them in my hot little hands. But, I haven’t made many home dec objects. Maybe this year is the year!
Ginny Schleich says
I made paper snowflakes to hang on a centerpiece for my table. It was beautiful and I have put it on my dining room table for the last couple of years. I also have a few ornaments that I hang on the tree every year. Wonder what I will make this year? Maybe a new banner when I win the awesome giveaway!
Alice Roushia says
I can honestly say “No”. I need to as much as i make, but after 5 craft shows, I kind of get burned out. Need to start getting pepped up and get something done about home decor!!!

Love all of this months releases and thanks for the chance to win!!

Does beautifully contained buttons and ribbons count as home decor items? If so, my decorated containers of buttons and ribbons are displaying my papercrafting skills.

Sometimes I suprise myself by ways to incorporate my paper-crafting into my home decor. My latest was to embellish the middles of two huge sparkly plastic snowflakes from the dollar store with multi-layer snowflake medallions, for my mantle. Awesome and thrifty!!!

I did make a birthday banner once many years ago. It sure wasn’t that professional looking … Just imagine what banners we can all create now!! Thanks for the contest once more!

Yvonne Snellings says
I have made a banner before (now it will be easy and not take days!!) and Christmas ornaments! Love this release!
Paula LacKamp says
Oh goodness yes! I’ve made garland, banners, picture frames, etc. I use it every chance I get. Why limit ourselves to paper? If I could cook with the stuff, I probably would! :o)

I used the papertrey buttons to make a Christmas tree and wreath last year.

All the time! I’ve embellished picture frames, decorated candles, displayed scrapbook layouts on my walls, created christmas ornaments, made decoartions for my boys’ birthday parties, covered birdhouses, etched plates and glasses.

I have not made home decor items to date. But… I have made boutonniers (sp???) for my son’s Cinderella party when he was in first grade!!! Course that was eons ago!!!

Each of you is TOO talented, but I’m glad that you are!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT TALENT! Each of us out here is the beneficiary!

Brenda Z says
I made a banner for my niece for her 2nd birthday. I used a Sizzix die to cut out fabric. I embellished it with beads, ribbon and chipboard – it turned out so cute! It took a while to make it, which, is why I’m so excited for PTI’s new banner dies!
leish says
I think the only time I’ve used some paper crafting techniques or ideas would be when I was decorating a Christmas tree. Nothing fancy, but I’m sure getting a lot of crafty ideas here!

My girls & I love to use our paper crafting skills! We’ve decoupage pretty paper onto coffee tins to make banks for their allowance. We like to decorate them to match their room decor. I also like to make my own photo frames and decorate them for gifts to the grandparents – always a hit! Love the new releases!

I do all the time. My favorite is mixed-media canvases and wreaths.
Gorgeous new releases – so excited!
Andrea M says
I haven’t as of yet. Although I have seen a few altered trays and frames that I would love to try! Now with tonights release, banners could be in the near future ;). I have stamped on a few baby onesies and bibs for a friend so I guess I’ve tried something a bit beyond just paper and cards : D
Great release!!!!
Amber R. says
Hmmm, I’ve used papercrafting supplies to decorate picture frames and to embellish wall decals to make them fit my color scheme. Also, last year, PTI’s HomeMade houses were made to complement the exterior of friend’s houses as hostess gifts at the holidays, does that count? With great releases like this one, we can expect to all increase our creativity into home decor!
Lori Y says
I have created a couple of princesses with the help of my Cricut for my daughter’s room decor. And I’m currently working on an Artist Tray for our Living Room. Last year I made a few of the houses and decorated them with the Homemade stamp set, but my daughter decided they worked better for her dolls and I lost them. So excited for this release!
Rochelle C. says
The latest paper project for my home has been a Halloween trick or treat banner sign. I love PTI ideas for home decor. One of my first things I learned from PTI was how to make candy filled baskets with toilet paper rolls.

No, I never made a home decor project unless you count scrapbook pages that I framed and hung. Thanks for a chance to win.
Brit Swiderski says
I use my craftiness to decorate anything that’s a little too “blah” around the house. I love to dress up our old refrigerator (we live in a rental) with cute magnets and notepads. Any extra bit of sunshine helps in a drab kitchen! I can’t wait for tonight’s release. This month’s stamps and other releases are soooo amazing. Thanks to the entire DT for a super inspiring week!
Lisa B. says
The closest I’ve come to making home decor items with my papercrafting things has been to do a bunch of Christmas ornaments. Not very exciting, but they are very cute!
Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway!
The Feel Good Gourmet says
I love hosting parties and make my own placecards! Such a simple project but can really enhance a table setting!
Carla says
Home Decor with paper crafting isn’t something that I typically do but I did on one occasion. For my son’s first birthday, i made a banner of pictures from birth to 1. It was fun, and I still have it 3 years later. I’ve considered making decor for my boys room, but have never bitten the bullet.
Trish says
I love being able to make home decor with my papercrafting goodies. I’ve made a bunch of stuff over the years but most recently I made a 12×12 canvas with a gorgeous picture of my hubby and daughter.
Jenny J. says
I’ve made collages with re-purposed frames and 12X12 canvases. Last year, I made my Mom’s Mother’s Day gift from a frame I painted white, took watercolor paper I distressed with a little water & blue chalk and stamped some Bluebonnets. She loved it! And it still hangs in her kitchen.
The new releases will so enhance my collages!
Chong McAfee says
I made a magnetic calendar using a cookie sheet, number stamps, and a circle punch. And some tissue box covers.
Pat Baker/Silver Rabbit Studio says
I’m planning to make table runners, place mats and napkins using stamps, resist and dies for holiday gifts this year! Just waiting for the Thanksgiving holidays for the time to put it all together!
www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawnW7jf-FD9Ngl8oEU4s8ThOvSriuytrzto says
No, I just covered envelopes with paper and glued them together & put them on the refrigerator to put receipts and coupons in. I am looking forward to making some banners, tho.
Thanks for the wonderful ideas.
Mary Whiteside says
Yes, all the time…picture frames, layouts to hang on the wall, holiday decorations. My fave was a Thanksgiving project a couple years ago. We made placemats for the boys, where they used their hands to make turkeys. So fun!!! Excited for the release!!
Elizabeth K says
I’ve used banners in our family to welcome
each new baby home, banners with birthday,
get well soon as well as holiday banners.
When I saw this month’s banner releases,
it made my day.
Kirsty says
Only Christmas ornaments so far. I do have some ideas of things I want to do.

Yes, I’ve made a lot of small chipboard picture albums for friends and family to display around the house. I’ve also made wall hangings for family…everyone loves the photos that are included!
Lisa says
Christmas ornaments, postcard collage, picture frames….and if you asked me, I’d tell you I’m not very crafty. 🙂
Andi Sexton says
Yep! Just yesterday made some wooden Christmas Countdown blocks, and a hanging magnetic note-board! Getting ready for the holidays!!!! Love those big banners!!!!!!
Wendy F. says
I’ve used my supplies to make Christmas ornaments before, but that’s about it. Does it count if I think about using them to make home decor items? I’ve got a list of things I’m going to make “some day”!!
Karen Murray says
I have made ornaments, candle scapes, decorated picture frames and monograms. The favorite thing I ever made was a name that I framed for a baby shower gift.
Jamie Nania says
Yes, I made a banner for Valentine’s day this year and used the PTI patterned paper for it and my Cricut to cute the letters. I have lots of ideas in my head for those large-scale banners as well!
Kellie says
I am always thinking of ways to use my supplies. I used my goodies last year to make an Advent Tree. I made sour cream containers filled with treats for the kids and hung them on a “kitchen” tree. It sits on the counter and as is they need any more reason to get excited it adds another element of fun. If anything sits still long enough I will cover it in paper and decorate it!
Vicki McCully says
No but I would love to start now. Very excited about the release tonight !!
Joyce says
Haven’t done too much home decor with papercrafts….just a little decorating on frames and such. Love the new releases this month!!!!
Lori Weinberg says
I don’t believe I have made home decor with paper, but I do consider all my spice jars filled with fabulous PTI button home decor! That counts, right!?!?
Andrea Vernagus says
I have decorated a canvas to put pictures on it…even made it so I can change things out for the seasons. Great release!
April C. says
Only a few times and the things I made ended up in other people’s homes, lol! I made a wedding banner for my daughter – it’s at her house. Name banners for my grandchildrens’ rooms – at their house. A Christmas picture frame and ornaments which were purchased and ended up in someone else’s house. Guess it’s time to start making things for my house. I’ve appreciated the inspiration with the fab projects you’ve showcased. Thanks!
Susie Nam says
I recently made a birthday banner for my son’s birthday party but I had to cut them all out by hand. In the past, I’ve made Christmas ornaments, a Valentine’s day garland, and other birthday banners. I guess one thing I consistently make are birthday banners so this release is especially exciting for me. I hope I can get my order in before the banner dies sell out tonight!!!! Thanks again for creating the banner dies!
Wendy Sue
