‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!

We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live.  It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!

Ornament cards Save

The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here.  It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.  

Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT.  The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too. 

I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special. 
 
I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element.  These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance
 
The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. 
 
Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight. 
 
Gather these supplies:
  • Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
  • Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
  • 'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
  • Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
  • Twine or thin ribbon
Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
 
I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.

  • Peaceful Cabin; beautiful!

    We made this beautiful card at my December card clubs; it features the Peaceful Cabin bundle.  Unfortunately the stamp set is already sold out and unavailable. So sad; it's just gorgeous! 

    Peaceful Cabin Dec Save

    I used only White card stock and Misty Moonlight ink. A monochromatic card can be so simple & soothing to the eye.  And there's something about a mostly white card that is rich and elegant. It’s cased from a card made by Helen Reed

    The texture on the background is made with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder.  That is also currently unavailable. But it is in the annual catalog and will be back. 

    There are two pieces that you stamp first and then die-cut.  The background trees is one layer and the cabin and foreground is another.  It's so neat how the dies cut the silhouettes out so perfectly.

    Measurements:
    White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    White layers – for trees – 3 3/4" X 2 3/4", for cabin 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", embossed layer is 4" X 5 1/4"

  • Star & Snowflake Ornaments; so pretty!

    I had to give these gorgeous star projects a try!  Sara from Stampin' Up! made them for a tree topper but they were one sided.  I decided to turn her idea into ornaments by making them 2-sided.

    They're made with our Stitched Stars dies seen here.  I used the largest and third smallest to make these. I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP but unfortunately it was on the retired list and is sold out now. 

    You probably wonder where the snowflakes come from.  They are called 'Wonderful Snowflakes' and they also just sold out! The retiring list can be so hard; items you want can be gone in an instant!

    You need a good stack of Dimensionals between each layer like this: 

    Star ornament inside Save

    You can see why you need a smaller star inside; to support the stacks of Dimensionals. *There's a second stack under that smaller star.  You'll add a second large star on top of the dimensional stack seen above. 

    Tips:

    • I found a stack of 4 to work best.
    • I added a rolled up mini glue dot to the tip of each star point to secure them together.  It's not necessary but does finish if off so they stay closed. 
    • Add the cord with a glue dot to one of the star points. 

    They were so fun to make I couldn't stop! I plan to add these to my cookie trays or to Christmas presents instead of a traditional bow. 

    I thought this last one would look sort of ho hum in this pattern.  But once I added our Red Rhinestones to the snowflake it sure came to life!

    Below is the video to see exactly how to make these pretty ornaments.  They're the third project I share.
