Bloggers Challenge – Holiday Ornaments or Decorations

December 12, 2008 By Connie | 19 Comments

Shhhh….I’m supposed to be getting things ready for my husband’s holiday party tonight.  I have the White Chicken Lasagnas to make along with the filling for the Lemon Jelly Rolls, and still do a little cleaning and setup.  But, I just had to take a break and make up something for the Blogger’s Challenge.  Don’t tell!  lol!

I think ornaments are so much fun to make.  I had trouble narrowing down my choices of which one to make for today.  I actually had a glass ornament (filled with designer paper) started that I could have used, but decided to go this route instead.  This is very easy…just graduated sizes of squares and then add a focal point.  No stamping…just all cutting and punches.  I did use my scoring tool to score some textured veins into the white poinsettia and leaves that is a little hard to see.  I used a Jumbo eyelet for the top hanger and used the yummy Red Riding Hood taffeta ribbon.

Since I was in a hurry, I didn’t do it, but I think this would look awesome with all scalloped edges on it…maybe I’ll do that tomorrow using the Ski Slope paper!  I’ll plan on doing a short tutorial, too, with sizes, etc.

Have a great weekend!  Tonight is the last of the BIG THINGS I need to do before Christmas.  Then I can relax and enjoy the holidays and all the fun stuff like baking, card making, and gift wrapping!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    BRAVO…who says making ornaments has to be uber hard. This is a fantascially awe-inspiring creation. I love the squares and what visual interest they add…especially in those yummy colors. FABULOUS job!

    Have fun at the party, and don’t work yourself into exhaustion.

    Hugs,

    This ornament looks a lot more difficult than just layering squares! I love it. I agree that scallop edges would really look cool!
