Whimsical Winter Ornaments

December 11, 2021

Hello there, Jackie here today with a selection of cute and simple woodland ornaments to hang on the tree or even use as gift tags. super simple to make using the gorgeous new whimsical winter dies from Joset with added brush lettering sentiments from Sue Smith’s brush lettering sentiment stamps.

Step One

Start by die cutting a four framed circles, lay two nesting circles dies together and tape the reverse side. Here I have used the stitched circles for added interest.

Step Two

Die cut or fussy cut a white circle that fits slightly smaller than the prepared frame, then use the adventure edges to create a snowy hill. Fix this to the reverse side of the frame.

Step Three

Attach another frame to the reverse side for added stability and to create some added dimension.

Step Four

Die cut of fussy cut another white circle and create another snowy hill but make sure it sits higher than the last.

Step Five

Die cut or fussy cut a further circle this time using a light blue card. Stamp out and white heat emboss the sentiment on one side and then splatter white paint all over.

Step Six

Fix the sentiment panel to the reverse side then attach a further frame over the sentiment to add a neat finish.

Step Seven

Build up the ornament using all the woodland animals and trees design a winter scene, I added a dab of white ink to the trees and a dab of brown ink to the tops of the animals.

Step Eight

Finish off by punching a hole toward the top of each ornament and adding a string to hang.

Thank you for dropping by today. I hope I have inspired you to have a go at these ornaments.

Happy crafting – Jackie

In The Workshop

November 22, 2020

Hello friends, Sandy Diller here, it’s time to start thinking about the holiday season. This year will be celebrated a little differently but that is no reason to cut back on the fun of the season. One of my favorite things is decorating the house and I always like adding something new. I had this wooden kit in my stash and have to confess that I started it last year but didn’t finished it until now.

I previously painted the wooden pieces with white paint. I then covered the wooden trees with ECD Double Sided Adhesive.

Once the release paper was removed from the tape I placed three different ModaScrap Christmas papers on the trees. I trimmed the paper down and then used an emery board to sand the edges (sandpaper can also be used). Hot glue was used to attach the trees to the base.

I used lots of great dies from my ECD collection to create some gifts and bows and then cut and assembled the Jack Frost die set to create the cute snowman.

After cutting and assembling the adorable little Elves I added them to the scene using double backed foam tape to pop them out to the front.

One of the final touches was to add a banner across the front after stamping it with the fun greeting.

The last thing to go on was the little gift with the long ribbon. The package is a small wooden square, painted and then ribbon was added.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have been inspired you to get creative and decorate your home for the season.

Shimmer Sheetz Ornaments

November 29, 2015

Hello everyone,

Today we’d like to show you our first project for November’s Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Designer Challenge, which was created by Judi Kauffman. You can find more projects on our blog tomorrow so stay tuned!

Nov-A

By Judi Kauffman

As soon as I heard that the November Designers’ Challenge was ‘Gold, Silver, and White’ I decided to make some quick and easy Shimmer Sheetz ornaments. I’ve been making flat ornaments to tuck into my holiday cards for many years and the dies in the new Ornament Set 4 from Els van de Burgt Studio were just right for this quick and simple project. (My mantra has always been ‘Easy Isn’t Cheating’!)

I chose White Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz for the ornaments, Gold for the caps. I mixed in embossing folders for texture, Glitter Snowflakes and Glitter Flowers peel-offs for a pop of silver sparkle, and three different gold peel-offs just for the fun of it.

Nov-E[1]

Shimmer Sheetz ornaments are super light; no extra postage is needed for mailing. Add a fine cord, 1/8” ribbon, or an ornament hanger and they’re good to go.

Remember, you don’t have to stick to the Challenge color scheme. Switch the palette in whatever way you want. Add more sparkle with Glitter Dots peel-offs or adhesive-backed gems or half-pearls, or simply add the ornament cap and create simple stylish unadorned ornaments. The Ornament Set 4 die set includes decorative overlays as well as the simple silhouette I chose for my projects; the possibilities are truly endless. It’s all up to you!

Nov-F

Let’s Get Started:

  1. Decide how many ornaments you want to make. This number determines the size of the pieces of Shimmer Sheetz will be needed. After figuring out how much is needed, layer two pieces of White Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz with Clear Double Sided Adhesive Sheet in between. (I die cut all eight ornaments from just two 3” x 6” pieces.)
  1. Using the silhouette ornament shape, die cut ornaments. Reminder: If you are new to die cutting Shimmer Sheetz, review Els van de Burgt’s YouTube video that outlines the technique. A Metal Adaptor Plate is required.
  1. Die cut a Gold Metallic Shimmer Sheetz ornament cap for each ornament, backing ONLY the bottom 3/8” of the piece of Shimmer Sheetz with Clear Double Sided Adhesive (6mm tape) prior to cutting. A small piece measuring about 5/8” x 5/8” is needed per cap. See photo below:

Nov-C

  1. Cut off the small oval at the top of each White Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz Ornament as shown in the photo below before adding the gold cap to the ornament. But do not add the cap to embossed ornaments until AFTER they are embossed.

Nov-B

Nov-D

  1. The photo below shows two embossed ornaments. Position the ornament inside the folder so that the cap area sticks out of the folder and does not get embossed. Optional – Lightly sand the Shimmer Sheetz to tone down the shine a bit. Add the gold cap after embossing or embossing and sanding.

Nov-H

  1. The photo below shows two ornaments featuring Glitter Snowflakes peel-offs. Using non-stick scissors trim excess peel-offs at the edges of the ornament as needed.

Nov-G

  1. The photo below shows two ornaments made with Ribbon Fantasy peel-offs, both the lace-looking strips and the leftovers from between them. Trim peel-offs at edges per step 6.

Nov-I[1]

  1. The photo below shows one ornament made with Borders Leaves peel-offs, arranged diagonally in three rows, and another made with evenly spaced Lines Dots peel-offs and Transparent Glitter Flowers peel-offs. Trim peel-offs at edges per step 6.

Nov-I[1]

More Options:

Decorate both sides of the ornament instead of just the front.

Die cut letters to make monogrammed ornaments.

Die cut numbers to commemorate the year the ornaments were made.

Make ornament-shaped gift tags. Instead of Shimmer Sheetz on both sides, use cardstock so you can write on the back.

Make cards with removable ornaments on the front! Die cut a pine sprig, berry branch or holly leaves and ‘hang’ one or more ornaments just below the greenery.

Merry Christmas Ornament Card

October 26, 2015

Hi, it’s Wanda and I am thrilled to be sharing a project on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog!

With Christmas quickly approaching, it’s always fun to a have new ornament (or several) for the tree, and even more fun when we get a handmade one from a friend. With that in mind, I’ve created a card with a removable ornament just perfect to give to that special friend.

QF-ECDcardHollyOrn1a

Here’s how I created the card:

1. Cut red cardstock 5 ½” x 11” and fold in half.

2. Cut a piece of Soft Finish Cardstock 5” square. Rub the Distress Ink pad on your craft sheet, spray with water, drag rough side of cardstock through ink, dry.

3. Die cut Fitted Frames 4 – Curvy Squares from Soft Finish Cardstock. Attach largest frame to inked square. Color the inside of the circles with gold marker.

4. Die cut one solid heart from red cardstock and one from white Soft Finish Cardstock.

5. Die cut two holly hearts and individual small hearts from Soft Finish Cardstock backed with Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape. Run the small hearts again through the die cut machine with embossing material.

 

QF-ECDcardHollyOrn1c

6. Attach one holly heart to the solid white heart. Color in all areas using markers. Add Glossy Accents to each area and allow to dry completely. Attach second holly heart over first one to cover any marker that got on the outlines. Attach layered hearts to red heart. Re-color “berries” on heart with gold marker. Add gold eyelet to heart and tie on ribbon.

7. Determine placement of heart ornament and add eyelet to frame panel. Attach frame panel to folded card with foam tape.

8. Die Cut Quietfire Design ‘Merry Christmas’ from Shimmer Sheetz. Attach to card with small pieces of foam tape being sure not to put tape where the ribbon needs to lay under the die cut.

9. Add ornament to card by running the ribbon under Merry Christmas and threading it through the top eyelet. Leave the ribbon untied so it can be pulled out, tied and hung on the tree. Optional – add a note in the card stating that the ornament is usable.

10. Attach small white hearts as shown.

Merry Christmas!

July 6, 2014

Hello Friends,

It’s Rita here on this beautiful Sunday morning. It’s been nice and sunny here in California and we enjoyed some spectacular fireworks this past weekend. My project for today is all about Christmas. Yes, you read my title correctly :-). I have been enjoying some Christmas spirit right in July with the NEW and so amazing die sets from Elizabeth Craft Designs (available mid-July). I made a Christmas card with matching gift tags.

This is how I created my card and tags:

1. Die cut 3 tags out of silver cardstock and 3 out of patterned paper.

2. Die cut 7 sprigs from Peridot Gemstone and 6 from Fire Opal Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz.

3. Die cut 6 sets of the new Ornament Set 3. We will use 3 for the tags and 3 for the card.

Here you can see all the die cut pieces for our three tags.

4. To create tags, adhere 2 die cut tags together and add Glitter Border Peel-off along the edges of the tag. Assemble ornaments and adhere as shown. Adhere sprigs and bows as shown.

DSCF3654_2

5. Add ribbons and your tags are complete.

To create the card:

6. Cut card base at 8.5″ x 6″, scored at 4.25″.

7. Cut a piece of glitter cardstock at 4.25″ x 6″ and a second piece at 3.25″ x 6″. Adhere 2 pieces together leaving a 1″ line on the top.

8. Die cut Merry Christmas on the open 1″ space. Also die cut a Merry Christmas from purple glitter cardstock.

9. Adhere glitter cardstock with Merry Christmas cut onto card base and insert purple Merry Christmas.
