Ornament score!

I has this idea in mind and actually found the perfect item. I was in the Dollar Store and found these ornaments that have a hand-made look, but yet they were flat (which was exactly what I was looking for) and a deal at 4 for a dollar.

Here is another style I picked up too.

I think these will be flat enough to mail in an oversized envelope. The card I am making is a 4 x 5 size. I designed a little pocket on the inside for the ornament to go in.

The stamps are from My Thoughts Exactly. The paper is by Me & My Big Ideas and Jolly Holiday by Recollections. This one I did a ribbon all the way around to tie off the card.

I did two variations of the inside. This one just closes.

Now I have a set of Christmas cards done and even have a little ornament to send with it to remind our friends of us.

I hope you find some inspiration with these cute little ornament cards.

Centerpiece tree

With the holidays coming it is time to get in gear with figuring out some gifts and fun decor.

The first project I want to share with you for the holidays is a colorful Christmas tree. I bought a stack of colorful funky ornaments and wanted to make a tree in those cool colors to put the ornaments on.  I got these at Target last year. Michael's carries them too. I made four tree shapes all the same size and scored them down the middle.

I taped them together and then came along and glued the edges. I inked all the edges of the tree and added the mini bulbs.

 

Each side is a different color. I think it will add a little whimsy on a table somewhere.

If you notice the tip of each limb is notched to allow the bulb to hang straight. 

Let the holidays begin!
