Vintage Christmas Ornaments

Good Morning everyone!  wow did the week go by fast!  I made these vintage Christmas ornaments in a snap!  The information on how to make them are below with the rest of the pictures.  Hope you have fun trying them.  I have more to post too where I used the Beau Chateau DSP, they are to die for!

Here they are up close.

Here what you will need.

Cardstock:  DSP Newsprint, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Soft Suede, Basic Black

Stamp Set:  Hand -Penned Holidays  Wood # 124310  Clear # 124312

Accessories:  Mica Snjowflakes # 124115,, Silver glitter 114286, Natural Hemp Twine #100982

Sponge Daubers #102892, Glass Ornaments and Modge Podge, sponge brush

Take your DSP Newsprint and tear small pieces and set aside.  Put 2 TBLS of modge podge in a bowl and add a teaspoon of water to dilute it.   Take the pieces of DSP and drop into the bowl let sit for 2 minutes to let the paper soften. Take your ornaments and remove the cover at the top where you hang it and set aside.  Your paper should now be soften start covering the ornaments with the pieces of DSP til it is totally covered.  Take the Mica Snowflakes and cover the ornaments with them and let dry.  I set the ornaments on top of a drinking glass to dry.  Take the tops of the ornaments and take some Modge Podge and brush it on the top of the holder, now add the silver glitter  and let dry.  When the ornament and the top of the ornament is dry put back together.

Tie a piece of 2 1/2' Nautral Hemp Twine to hand your ornament.

Now on to the tag,  cut a piece of 3 1/2 ' Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the Merry Christmas stamp in Soft Suede, now cut the end like a pennant.  Take the sponge dauber and shade the edges.  Tie a piece of the Natural Hemp Twine to the other end.  Using glue dots attach the tags to the ornaments.  I kinda of made them so they are wavy on the glass ball.  There you have it!  Aren't they beautiful!  

Gobble Gobble!

Good morning!  I have kids camps this week and this is one of the projects they will be making.  These are circulating all over the web with the likes of witche's feet and turkey gobblers.  Here's my version.

Here what you need to make one:

1 3/4 cicle punch for head

(2) 1 3/4 Scallop Circle punch for body and feathers

5 -Petal Flower punch for the beak (just cut one petal o & ff)

Any small flower punch for the feet.

The gobbler under his beak is made by using the Scallop  Edge Border punch

Googlie eye, M & M's , and the Cellophane bags for legs.

Dimensions for the back feather are as follows: 2 1/2 by 12 scored by using the score pad @ 1/2' all the way across the paper.   Attached to the back with glue dots.  Have fun making these!  xoxo

Holiday weekend

It was a great weekend!  Locally we are so lucky to have Molbak's florist and nursery.  Every year they have a poinsettia's

festival where they have hundreds of varieties of poinsettias.  They also have lots of holiday home decor and themed Christmas trees.   It is so beautiful!  Here are a few pics of some of the things that caught my eye, oh and my family too!.
