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!

Very pretty Connie, love the colors.
Too cute Connie! I love your work! 🙂
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,
So pretty, Connie. Love all the layers!
This ornament looks a lot more difficult than just layering squares! I love it. I agree that scallop edges would really look cool!
What a neat idea and totally different from what I’ve seen so far. Love it!
Love the colors of the DSP
So just squares? (how many times have you been asked? LOL) Beautiful! Can’t wait to see your tutorial! Enjoy the party tonight! 😉 I need to be doing some cleaning for our family Christmas tomorrow.
Ooo, cool ornament!!!
WOWZA…this is WONDERFUL!!!!
This is so pretty! great paper!
Very pretty! 🙂 Hope you have fun at the party…
Perfect. You did a great job creating your ornament.
I love all the layers of DSP. The rhinestone brad is the perfect finishing touch!!!
Wonderful ornament Connie! You did a great joy with this week’s challenge! 😀
Looks great! I like how you arranged and layered the papers–so eye-catching!
Another wonderful idea, Connie, and it would look great with scallops, too!!! Hope your party went well!
Beautifully done Connie. I love these papers!
Very nice. I like the shape and the great colors you chose to use in the DP.
