Pretty Punch Ornament


Hello again - I know it's been a while since I posted. It seemed like posting on my blog always fell further down on my daily "to-do" list - and time management has never been one of my strong points. I figured that having the kids back in school would free up some time for me, but it only allowed the other things that I've neglected to finally get some proper attention, KWIM?

Anyhow, the Holiday Mini Catalog has been released, and this little project uses three items that are now available, the Delightful Decorations ornament stamp set, Ornament punch and silver elastic cord. This little ornament was so easy to make... I inked up the stamp in Versamark, then Real Red ink, and stamped it on Whisper White cardstock. This was heat-embossed in Iridescent Ice embossing powder, then the whole process was repeated so that I had 8 stamped pieces. (Don't forget to clean your stamp each time, or you'll end up with Real Red Versamark!) Each image was punched out with the Ornament punch, and folded in half. I used Mono Multi glue to adhere each 1/2 section to another 1/2 section. Before gluing the last two sections together, I cut a 5 inch length of the Silver elastic cord and tacky taped the ends inside to create the loop for hanging. Boy, does this little ornament sparkle when it moves!
