Christmas Ornaments with DIY Instructions - Part 2

DIY Ornaments with Spellbinders Dies (Part 2)

It's the season of Christmas card making, but I had time to squeeze a few ornaments and provide a quick and easy DIY tutorial.  This is part two of my ornament feature. You can find part one here. 

Scroll on down the page for the tutorial.

Ornaments make a great gift when you need something small.  Why not have those small gifts of appreciation be dazzlers, right?  

This year my ornaments were made using a cool die from Spellbinders.  This is the second ornament I have made using this particular die.  The first ornament  is pictured below and can be found on my blog post here along with step by step DIY instructions.  

This ornament would not have come together so perfectly without my other essential products:  snowflake chipboard by Creative Embellishments and papers from Maja Design. 

In particular, my snowflakes are from Creative Embellishments  - Large Snowflake Set and my papers are from Maja Design - Joyous Winterdays collection.  

  Here is the die I've been raving over.  

It's  Spellbinders Shapeabilities Hannah Elise Layering Frame  Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca Feeken S5-329.

Quick and Easy DIY Tutorial

Step 1.  Start with four diecuts using Spellbinders Hannah Elise Layering Frame  Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca Feeken.

Fold each diecut in half lengthwise.   A Bone folder and scoring board will  give you a nice crisp fold.

Step 2.  Assemble the ornament by gluing the sections together as in the photo above.  Once all four pieces are assembled, your ornament should look like the photo below.  

Step 3.  Pick an embellishment that can dangle nicely inside the ornament.  I am using chipboard snowflakes from  Creative Embellishments  - Large Snowflake Set.  

I used fishing line (nylon filament) to string the ornament because it's clear and helps place the focus on the ornament/embellishments rather than on a bulky ribbon.  

Now you're set to decorate. 

Here is a closer look at the delicate ornament using 

Spellbinders Hannah Elise Layering Frame  Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca Feeken.

Here's a look at the embellishing.  The snowflake chipboard really makes a "wow" statement with this piece.  

And one last look at the finished piece.

Vintage Christmas Cards Made Easy

I've love to use this post to share with you the spirit of Christmas, using the gorgeous holiday/winter collection from Maja Design- "Joyous Winterdays".  

 Maja Design collections have one very important feature helping to make Maja Design the very best paper for your money.  Since each sheet is double sided, the back side of the papers tend to have patterns that can be used year round.  That means you get great value for your money.  That's very important since the Christmas season is short.  

 Scroll down and I will provide links to help shop for this paper. 

Above is an image of the Maja Design- "Joyous Winterdays" collection and the specific papers I used on my card. 

"Beautiful Pine"

"Pick a Tree"

"Make Decorations"

And then there is the beautiful vintage ephemera from the collection.  This gorgeous sheet of vintage images helps your card making process super easy.   You can complete some of your Christmas or winter cards done in a few minutes. 

Isn't the paper simply lovely?  The vintage ephemera is perfect for super quick cards.
