Easy Ornament Gifts!

I LOVE ornaments just a little I mean ALOT! I put these on the outside of my MOPS Leadership bags. I got these from the Target $1 bin, inexpensive gifts is the name of the game!! I wish you could see the awesome sparkle they have!!

HO HO HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS PART III

Okay are you on the edge of your seat? Just kidding, this is an ornament I was just playing around with. I really like how it turned out. Let me know what you think!!

SUPPLIES: Season Of Simple Grace (stamp set); Basic Black, Bashful Blue; Creamy Caramel (Card Stock); Bashful Blue, Basic Black (ink); 1/2" Striped Bashful Blue Ribbon, Crop-a-Dile, Snail Adhesive, Stick Strip, 2-Way Glue, Dazzling Diamonds, and Yo Yo Yellow Stampin Write Marker. The container is from the craft store, I found them in the bead section.


I am actually going to do a whole set of these, one with the Three Wisemen and another using the Shepherds. I will post the whole set after I make them. I thought the set could be great for our MOPS ornament exchange. Enjoy!!

HO HO HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS PART II...

When I bought the square glass ornaments I also loved these round flatter ones, so I picked up a few of these as well. First, I tried just stamping on it and thought it was okay, but the ornament was screaming for some glitter. I think that is a theme around here, it seems all my projects scream for glitter...is it to much when you find glitter on your dog's head??

Anyhow, back to the subject at hand. This was a quick and easy ornament and I have to say so far my FAVORITE. I used VersaMark, Heat & Stick Powder, the Heat Tool (which I did from a distance because these ornaments can be fragile), and some fine glitter (we don't sell this color anymore, but we do have some others in the catalog)....and poof b-ea-utiful!! Don't you think this looks classy? And let me tell you the sparkle is WOW!!!

INSTRUCTIONS: Stamp image with VersaMark ink, pour heat & stick powder over images, Use heat tool to melt powder...again from a distance to ensure the glass does not break, next pour glitter over the stamped areas, heat once more and enjoy the sparkle. I added the grosgrain ribbon just to give it a little something extra!

HO HO HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS PART I!

We are on the downhill slide to the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas!! One thing I absolutely love about Christmas is ornaments. I have to admit I am a huge Hallmark ornament fan and frankly my mouth almost fell off when I saw the final price after I purchasing only FOUR ornaments. So, I have been on a mission to create cute ornaments this year... So, I will be sharing them with you over the next few days.

First, I want to start with these adorable square glass ornaments.. I recently posted one using reinkers, but I thought, I could do something so much cuter. Then, I stumbled across Kimberly Van Diepen's Blog (thanks Erin), and I knew what I had to do. These were so easy to make, and quite festive I must say. I really think the Rub-On's put their cuteness over the top, how about you.. Now I just need to decide which one I want to give at our MOPS ornament exchange...hmmm...

SUPPLY LIST: Various Designer Paper Scraps (1/2" x 3"), Various SU! Ribbon, & Rub On's, Big Snow Flurries, and The glass ornaments came from Hobby Lobby & Michael's. I got them 50% off, so the cost for a set of four was only $1.50-$2.00...not bad!!

More Christmas Gifts & Goodies...

Hello all... I just wanted to quickly post a couple things I made at the end of last week. I will do my best to keep up my posts this week, but I am on the countdown to my big holiday bazaar, and I still have tons of work to do. so in the meantime I hope you enjoy the two items below...

SQUARE ORNAMENT: I saw these fun shaped ornaments on Angie Juda's blog, I knew I had to get some right away (they are at Michael's & Hobby Lobby). This is my first attempt with reinkers.. I used the classic ink, which was not the smartest idea as it is not permanent, so it really doesn't dry... so if you try this use permanent ink refills. I mixed Dazzling Diamonds in the ink to give it a little sparkle. My favorite part is the Rub-On's, the final product also has 2008 on the top. Enjoy...

FRAMED ART: Below is my latest Framed Art, I gave it to my step-sister for Christmas (we celebrated early). I have started adding clear photo corners to make it easier for the recipient to just pop in their own pictures. I just love these colors (Bella Rose DSP, Riding Hood Red CS, Basic Black CS)
