Ornament Class

With the overwhelming response to the Ornament on the cover of the Holiday Mini I decided to hold a class. The class was Nov 1 and we made 3 different Ornaments and 1 quick card.

 

 Supplies for the Large Ornament:



Stamp Set:
128048 (wood) 128051 (clear) Ornament Keepsakes

Paper:
101650 Very Vanilla
126901 Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Ink:
126861 Gumball Green
126966 Cherry Cobbler

Accessories:
127816 Holiday Ornament Framelits
127555 Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons
125577 Large Pearl Basic Jewels
127841 3-1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler
104199 Linen Thread

Other:
Glue Gun
Hemp (for hanger)


I also stamped "Heart Of Christmas" (#128129)  and cut with Label Framelits for the back.

 

Supplies for the Smaller Ornament:

Stamp Set:
128030 (wood) 128033 (clear) Greetings of the Season

Paper:
101650 Very Vanilla
126901 Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper
127885 Glimmer Paper in Champagne

Ink:
126949 Real Red

Accessories:
127816 Holiday Ornament Framelits
127813 Snow Flurry Bigz Die

I also stamped "Heart Of Christmas" (#128129) and cut with Label Framelits for the back.

 For the smallest ornament I purchased a porcelain ornament at a Big Box store,

 

 

I then inked up the Tree from "Christmas Lodge" ( #123767 w; 123769 c) with Versamark and stamped on ornament. Don't forget to use your Embossing Buddy (#103083) first. Then I sprinkled with Gumball Green Embossing Powder (#128981). It will take awhile for the powder to melt, my tip is to lay it on a towel while heating as it will get very hot. I used Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler (#125585) for adding berries and it dried very nicely.

 

And, of course, if you need any supplies for your Holiday crafting, just contact me or visit my online store here

Happy Crafting!!
