It's week three of my twelve week Christmas Countdown. Is it just me or are these weeks flying by!? Today I have a beautiful ornament you can make for a friend or family or for yourself. We're using the gorgeous Christmas Season Bundle in the Mini Catalog. If you haven't already heard me say it, this is my favorite bundle. I love love love the images and the dies that are bundled with it have the most amazing labels ever!!!! Add it to your list if you haven't already. I'm also using the Tidings and Trimmings Bundle from the Annual Catalog. These dies are equally as amazing and the greetings in this set are pretty fun too!
If you do want to gift this ornament to someone I'm also sharing the cute acetate box you can give it in. I think this would be such a cute gift to leave on a neighbors porch or even make a bunch for a nursing home or rehab facility. What a great way to brighten their room and their spirits. The box is super simple. We're using the 3" x 3" acetate box so most of the hard work is already done!
For my ornament I started with a wood slice, I got these at my local craft store. They were already strung with the twine so really it's just a matter of decorating. I love mixing all kinds of textures when I make ornaments. We have the rustic, natural wood slice. I added a star die cut with our Snowy White Velvet, more texture. I gold heat embossed on gold foil for more shiny texture. I also white heat embossed the greeting. The berries are die cut from the Ombre Specialty Paper and I used our Shimmery Crystal Effects on them so they really sparkle. Texture on texture on texture. I love that!!!
All the stamping was done on colored cardstock. So the leaves were stamped in Just Jade on Just Jade Cardstock, the pine cone was stamped on Crumb Cake Cardstock with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede. I just LOVE all the images. I finished the ornament with a gold bow and some gold Gilded Gems for even more shine! I have a full supply list below. You can shop for these products in my Online Store.
