The 3rd card my crafters will make this weekend during our Retreat Stamp-A-Stack Class is a simple & sweet hanging ornament card. (Click here and here to see the other two.) I LOVE this clean look. And this card is very easy and quick to re-create if you were going to use it as your Christmas card. As in most of my posts, the supplies I used to make this project are listed (and linked to my online store) at the bottom.
One of my favorite new products in our Holiday Catalog is the Expressions Thinlits. With the aid of the Big Shot Die-cutting/embossing tool and the fabulous magnetic platform (new this year), you can whip out several of these "Merry" cut-outs quickly and easily. A TIP THOUGH: Place wax paper between the paper/card stock you want to die-cut and the thinlit die. This will make it much easier to separate when you are done cutting. And our 2-Way Glue Pen will make applying adhesive a breeze.
The ribbon is in two parts – the knot (which I stuck on with a glue dot) and the flat strip. So after attaching the "Merry," then attach the straight vertical strip of ribbon.
Next stick on the knot of ribbon with a glue dot and the ornament with a dimensional.
And what a quick, easy way to embellish the ornament – a punched out mini shape (punched from the scraps of the silver foil sheets) and a self-adhesive rhinestone.
So card-makers, do you have your holiday card designed yet? If not, get on Pinterest. It's a great website for ideas and "pinspiration." I'm addicted! Follow my Pinterest boards to see what I've been pinning.
