I am an out of control Hallmark ornament collector and have many themed trees throughout the house :) This one has miniature bells and bottlecaps. On to my next one which I will share as soon as it is done.
I love this happy little Santa image from SU's Jolliest of Holidays set. I added some Liquid Applique for texture. Red textured cardstock and black velvet corduroy ribbon with mirrored cardstock (non SU) for belt. Sentiment from Glad Tidings.
I made a Santa shadowbox ornament from Whisper White cardstock and a window sheet for front. Music score wheel on back of box, Lovely as a Tree stamp with a purchased Santa 3d gift tag and some fake snow as ground filler. Box measures 4"X4".
Some supplies are Stampin' Up: Glossy White and Real Red textured cardstock, sentiment from retired Trim the Tree set. The ornament is a sticker (Elizabeth Craft Designs) that I attached to an adhesive sheet and then cut out. Entire area was covered with white glitter and then colored on top of the glitter with Copic markers, and popped up onto the card front. I used bargain brand pop up foam squares that will allow the ornament to be easily removed from the card so you can add it to the tree. The row of double rhinestone ribbon I found in the stationery area of The Container Store (love this place!).
If you want to do something similar using only Stampin' Up, simply find a design that can be colored in and emboss with gold, silver or black powder and then follow the glittering and coloring procedure the same way. If you can't find adhesive sheets, you can use your clear mono glue. Let glitter and glue dry completely before you attempt coloring.
What to do with all of that glitter? This is a quick idea for a really pretty ornament that looks much more beautiful in real life with all of the sparkle. I used clear glass balls (available at most craft stores), coated inside with thin glue called Glitter It, then added glitter with a small funnel and embellished. Very easy! I have heard you can also use a floor wax to get the glue to stick but I have not tried using that yet. I think any thin, pourable glue will do as long as it is fairly clear.
