This month on Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are starting our Holiday crafting with a 3-D item! Lots of fun ideas for the holidays!!! We are a week early this month as many of us will be traveling to Orlando next week for our OnStage event!!! So much fun ahead!!!
So let me start by saying 3-D items are a real challenge for me! If you follow this blog, you know I'm a real CAS (Clean & Simple) kinda gal! My cards are very linear & simple. I do not usually work with 3-D items! In fact I rarely make them! I love to look at them & see the great ideas others have, but I'm not great at coming up with something new! But the holidays are all about bling & fun, so I decided to give it a try! My creation is rather CAS, but I think its cute! What dya think?
Here it is:
So I thought what's more 3-D for the holidays than Christmas ornaments? Most people have a tree, so we need the ornaments to hang from them! These came out cute, but they are very simple!!!
My fave stamp set from the Holiday Catalog is the Cross-Stitched Christmas set! I love the multi-step stamping, & I think it's a pretty, crisp stamp set!
These 3 little ornaments sparkle! I used my amazing Stamparatus to stamp the base layer in a color, the second layer with Versamark & White Embossing Powder, and the 3rd layer with Versamark &
Silver Embossing Powder! I chose these colors because I feel they are "cool" colors-for winter!!!
I am not one for fussy cutting, but I thought the Stitched Oval Framelit made the ornament look like it was in a hoop. Which is where you would work the cross-stitch! I backed them all with a nice Silver Glimmer Paper. Just thought they needed some "bling" on the backside!
I fortunately had matching colors in the twine-Night of Navy Medium Bakers Twine, & 2 colors from Nature's Twine! Add a bit of Glitter Enamel Dots & Basic Jewels Rhinestone bling & it's kinda sweet!!!
So nothing fancy but easy to make & fun to hang on your tree! Great to do with your kids!!!!
