~For The Love of Stamping~: Ink~Stamp~Share Nov 2020 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Nov. 2020 Ink~Stamp~Share blog hop! Our theme this month is Christmas Decorations.

It's not very often that I create anything other than a card so I am excited to share with you my tree ornaments.

My ornaments were created using the Wreath Builder dies. Honestly I can't get enough of these dies. The are so versatile!

To ensure that the ornaments had stability, I started by die cutting a base made from Window Sheets to provide the support needed. Then using the Wreath Builder dies I die cut 2 layers. The first one (which is the bottom layer) was die cut from Balmy Blue Glimmer paper (if you love this glimmer paper as much as I do, then you need to know that post Jan, 3, it will no longer be available). The second wreath was die cut from Silver Foil.

To adhere the wreaths to the window sheet circles, you will need glue dots. I tried the adhesive sheets but ended up with adhesive everywhere. Glue dots are much easier to control. To decorate the wreaths, you will need Beaded Pearls, some Night of Navy cardstock and Blue Adhesive Back Gems.(placed in the center of the navy flowers).

On the ornament on the right, I have also used the Curvy Dies, Stitched Nested Label dies and Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own Christmas tree ornaments using the Wreath Builder dies. Be sure to continue your blog hop journey by click the next button to take you to Gez Carpenter...
