Decorating for Christmas is HUGE! Giving small homemade gifts is another BIG thing. So, for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge we are combining the two! Our challenge is to make a Christmas Ornament OR an item of Home Decor that could be used yourself or as a small gift to give. You may alter a store bought item, create something from scratch! If creating a gift item or home decor item is not on your agenda right now, then make a card with some sort of ornament on it, easy enough! Just have FUN!
I chose to make a pocket ornament! After adhering my paper onto my ornament, I also attached a half piece, placing the
scor tape on the bottom and up the two sides. On the sides I placed the edge in a bit to create more of a pocket feature. Paper is Basic Grey's Jovial.
And oh my, here is that spectacular trim again! I used it around the ornament and could not let the tiny bit left go to waste! I trimmed the edge of a piece of ribbon! Makes a super hanger inserted into the top ornament hole.
A look at the pocket, I will be giving several of these to family members for
Christmas this year. I needed a pocket to place a gift card! Then the recipient can hang on tree, hang on the wall, keep
empty or fill with greens!
Besides the trim, I utilized a Webster's Pages Bloomer, silk and twill ribbons! See the leaves? These are the fall leaves from
Prima that I cut to
resemble holly leaves! Making good use out of all the goods!
Here is another version! A bit ornate for me, but so pretty just the same! Love the velvet ribbon inserted thought the lace!
