Just as a refresher, I participate in a monthly swap with a group of very talented of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. Each month the theme is different. Whoever is the host for that month gets to choose the theme. The swaps are due at the end of the month and that's why is the previous month when I post! November theme was flat ornaments. As you can see from these and Monday's post, you can also use many of these as gift tags!
This first ornament was made by Lilly. What a great idea! It's so adorable! This is something that you only need minimal supplies. Lilly did die cut this with the Sweet & Sassy framelits, but you could easily make a template from a piece of paper if you don't have a heart die. She used the black marker and white chalk marker for the mouth & stitching.
Debbie made the cut pair of mittens. There is a die in the Holiday Mini called Many Mittens that she used to make these. A little glimmer paper to add some pizzaz and the Mini Tinsel trim as well. The patterned paper is the Be Merry Designer Series Paper. That's in the Annual Catalog.
This next ornament was made by Mena. What a great way to use the Classic Label Punch! The bottom of the hat is the punch normal size. For the top part of the hat, she just re-punched one end to make it smaller. Mena also sponged a bit of the White Craft ink on the hat to "dirty" it up.
The tree ornament was made by Laura. The picture doesn't due it justice. Laura heat embossed the tree then die cut it with one of the dies from Santa's Sleigh. She also used the Fine Tip Glue Pen and Silver Glitter to add some ornaments to the tree.
This last one was done by me. This was really easy to do. I used 4 different size punches. Each circle was done the same way and then slipped one into the next. I did use a glue dot to make sure they didn't come apart. To make these, you fold the circle in half, open, fold in half again matching up the previous fold so you'll have 4 equal parts. Open again and fold in half one more time matching up the two folds you have so far. For the top circle I used my paper pierce tool to make a small hole in the center and put a piece of the metallic thread to put through the hold and a glue dot inside to hold the thread and the other circle. I then topped it off with a gold star. Here's a picture of what I went by to make mine. I found this on Pinterest. A picture is worth a thousand words!
