7. Angela
8. Cassie
13. Kim


I have blog candy here as well ~ details after the project!

I made some 3D snowflake ornaments for my glitter project.  I started out with ornaments and the shadow from the Christmas Cartridge.  I used my Gypsy to arrange the pieces and cut them out all at once.
Once I cut the pieces out, I used my Score Board to score both layers in half.

I ran two of the pieces through my Xyron and glued three pieces together as shown below.

I used light blue papers for the bottom layer.

I cut out the top layer with glittered paper. I glued it to the bottom layer. I added Diamond and Waterfall Stickles to the top layer. I punched a hole at the top and strung ribbon through.


I used pop dots on this ornament instead of the Xyron.  This gave some dimension.
Here is a close up of the Stickles.

Here are  my Stickled Ornaments once again.  Speaking of Stickles......

This Stickles 3-Pack (from Michaels) is my glittery blog candy!  All you have to do to qualify is #1 be or become a follower, #2 leave me a comment below, #3 leave me a way to get a hold of you please.
