I’ve been wanting to make one of these absolutely stunning Holiday Ornaments for weeks now and today I finally decided to do it – and WOW am I happy that I did!!!
This ornament is featured on pg 3 of the Holiday Mini Catalog and I was amazed that it didn’t take as long as I thought it would to make and the finished ornament is just WOW!!!
I am going to be making a bunch more…they are so fun & rewarding to make and you use the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set & Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies to make em…
Have you made any yet? Need some help? I knew that some of you’d ask and so I have put together a FREE Printable Tutorial for y’all!!! Read on to find it plus who won that Blog Candy from earlier this week…
Isn’t it STUNNING?! I just love it and it is sitting in pride of place by my desk…I can’t wait to decorate with these ornaments this Christmas…
The main body of the Ornament is made using a stamp from Ornament Keepsakes that is stamped using Old Olive Ink – you then die cut the ornaments out using a perfectly co-ordinating die from the set Holiday Ornaments Framelits – both of these items can be found on pg 3 of the Holiday Catalog…
The center white Snowflakes are cut using the Big Shot and Snow Flurry Bigz Die – another great product featured on pg 14 of the Holiday Catalog and the sentiment in the center is from the set More Merry Messages (pg 15 of the main Catalog)…
Here is a close-up of that gorgeous center…
What do you think? Old Olive is just such a festive color…but you know what? I also love rustic-y Christmas things so this weekend I am going to be working on some more ornaments using different colors and products to make them like that…
