Ornament Keepsakes Ornament

At Stamp Camp I demonstrated how to make this lovely ornament which was featured on the Holiday catalog.  I was requested to demo it at my clubs as well.  (-:  It is very simple and there are even videos posted on youtube if you are a visual person.

Here are my directions:

1 ¾  circle punch

Hot glue gun, Cherry Cobbler tulle, linen thread, glue dot, large pearls, Rosette die (or score with the Simply Scored), Candlelight Christmas DSP 12x1”, Vanilla ribbon, hole punch, Shimmer paint spray

Stamps:

Ornament Keepsakes set

Instructions:

1.       Use 2 sheets of Vanilla CS (cut into strips) to stamp all 40 ornaments. Stamp one ornament in Olive and the other in Cobbler.  Cut out with the framelits.

2.       Use the Simply Scored tool to score down the middle of each ornament and fold. Save five of each ornament to use for the back.

3.       Use liquid glue to adhere the larger Olive ornaments together in groups of threes.  Just glue one half of the ornament to the next.

4.       Mount each of the 3D ornaments to one of the remaining flat ornaments.

5.       Glue the Cobbler ornaments together in the same fashion.  Mount them on the remaining flat ornaments.

6.       Punch a circle in Olive.  Use hot glue to cover it and start mounting the large ornaments around the perimeter by the “stems”.

7.       Cut tulle in pieces of 3 scallops.  Scrunch each piece and glue between the ornaments.  Use your bone folder to press down while glue dries.

8.       Glue down the Cherry ornaments over the tulle sections.

9.       Cut 5 pieces of linen thread 12” long.  Knot the ends and form two loops out of each thread.  Glue between the Cherry ornaments.  (I did not have thread so I skipped this part.)

10.   Use a glue dot to adhere a large pearl to a vintage facet button.

11.   Make a rosette with the DSP and adhere in the center of the ornament.  Adhere the button in the center of the ornament.

12.   Punch a hole in the top of one Olive ornament and string Vanilla ribbon through the hole to use to hang the ornament.

13.   Mist the ornament with shimmer paint.
