Basic Gray/ Snowman Ornament



So today's Color Challenge was to use Basic Gray, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery. I had a hard time adding the Certainly Celery in there but the ribbon and the center of the Circle of Friend ship brought it together. The image is stamped in Basic Gray and colored with re-inkers and an aquapen. One of the great things about coloring this way is the more ink you use the darker the image and the more water you use the lighter the ink. I just had to add the brads on the bottom row. I love that we have so many co-ordinating colors of brads!

Stamps: Sanded BG, Winds of Grace, Circle of Friendship
Paper: Carbon DSP, Basic Gray, Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla
Ink: Basic Gray, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue
Accessories: Corner Rounder, Certainly Celery Grosgrain, Bashful Blue Eyelets, Circle Punches- 1/2", 3/4" 1"


Here is another pretty simple ornament.


I started with a large sized glass ornament. I stamped my image on a transparency sheet with Stazon Ink. I used my Whisper White Water color crayon to color the back of the image. I kept it moist with my aqua pen. I colored the front with Sharpie markers. I stamped the snowflakes with White Stazon Ink. I cut the circle with my coluzzle. I put a pin hole in the top and strung a fish line through it. I rolled it up and dropped it into the ornament. I used the line to straighten up the image and wrapped it around the top. I clipped the wires a bit that hold the top on. They were just too long and took away from the image. I tied some ribbon around the top and hung it up! You could add fake snow in the bottom too. I do not have mine out yet and it would of been a major pain to get to it yet.

Sketch Challenge 150/ Paper Roll Ornament


This was made for today's sketch challenge . I love the designer paper and since it on special this month I am trying to use it on every project I do this month. The wind was blowing and overcast today so my picture turned out kind of dark, but it did not blow away. ;)

I embossed the words and popped the punched circle section up on a pop up glue dot.

Stamps: Dotted BG, Wishing You Cheer, Circle of Friendship
Paper: Ruby Red, River Rock, Dashing DSP
Ink: Ruby Red, Old Olive, Black Stazon, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red Craft ink
Accessories: Gold Zig Pen, White Gel Pen, 1", 1 1/4" 1 3/8" Circle Punches, Clear Embossing Powder, Gold Elastic Cord




This is a very fun and inexpensive ornament I made with the Designer paper. All I did was take different size paper scraps and roll them up. I adhered the edge with some glue and dropped them in the glass ball. It can be as full as you like it to be. I tied a piece of twine to the top and a piece of ribbon around the base.

Japanese Binding/ Paper Bow


So the Technique Challenge today was to do a Japanese Binding on 0n the edge. I decided to do a masculine card. I just recently got this set. My 8 yr old picked it out when the catalog came out. Every time I put an order in he has asked me if I was going to get it. I surprised him one day. I was in dire need of more sets for masculine cards. I scored and adhered the edge together with sticky strip. I then measured and punched holes with my 1/8" circle punch.

Ornament


A few weeks ago our demo magazine, Stampin' Success came in the mail. They showed us how to make these cute ornaments with the scallop punch. I decided I wanted to make them with the center punched out. I decided I wanted a star in the center. I embossed first, punched the star and then the scallop. I lined them up, adhered one side and folded to line up the next. I only put adhesive on one half of one side. I did this until all 5 were attached. I attached the elastic cord with CE and held pressed until stuck. I did not want to waste the stars I had punched out so I took 3 of them and added another cord to the bottom and hung it from there.
These are so fun, You have to give them a try!! They are very easy!
