Ornaments

Twas the night before Christmas and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care......Christmas trees have been up since Thanksgiving!  How tradition has changed!  My family always had a REAL tree and we strung popcorn and made many of our ornaments.

 Here are a few I made this year.

Decorate your tree with handmade ornaments. a great way to use up that designer paper and trim scraps.  I used the Ornament punch, Petite Pennants Builder for the Tree and Ornament Keepsakes Framelits for the large bulb ornament.

Punch several shapes, score down the middle and adhere to form a 3 D ornament.  Slide your trim hanger in the layers and glue.  I used Tombo Multi adhesive for the ornaments.  The Bulb was cut (2)with the framelit and then embossed with the Northern Flurry embossing folder.  Adhere together and embellish with pearls.

 

I cut a Elegant Bird out of roof flashing and ran thru the Big Shot with embossing folders.  I used glimmer brads to hold the bird together and add glimmer to the wings.  A Cherry Cobbler Seam binding ribbon finishes the bird.  This bird makes a great tree topper sitting in a big bow.

Have we seen enough Christmas samples?  I think we are ready to sneak a peak at the Spring Mini and Sale-a-bration catalogs!  Watch my calendar for the big reveal party and this blog for daily samples using new products.
