Stunning paper Christmas Ornament
Stunning Paper Christmas Ornament
It’s official. Christmas season is upon us in full grandeur and fun. It has gotten considerably colder here in Maryland and I am so excited to be able to make a few projects before my surgery on December 18.
I won’t be making very many hand made Christmas gifts this year because of time restrictions.
This paper ornament took me a record 6 hours to complete. There are a few added details that the standard Stampin Up ornament does not have.
The biggest differences are the color. Instead of stamping each piece of the ornament, I die cut them from sweet tooth and black licorice card stock. They can be purchased at My favorite things stamp company. Instead of using tulle I used lace from my collection.
After the black and white card stocks were cut, I ran them through two different embossing folders before scoring and assembling. I used my quickie two way glue pen around the edges of each piece and used “Bridal” glitter from Sparkle N sprinkle.
The pink wheat like accents are from my stash. The ornament center is finished with a piece of lace I made into a rosette and finished with a small metal flower and shrink plastic butterfly.
The hanger for the ornament is made from a piece of off white cording. The back center is finished off to hide the hanger assembly and allow me a place to take credit for my work.
I am very proud of the way the project turned out. I hope to get it postal in the next couple of days.
I hope you all have a super day. Stamp Happy, be a blessing and please be kind to one another!
