Holiday Project without Red or Green Challenge

This week at Frosted Designs we have a new challenge.  Our challenge is Holiday Project without Red or Green Challenge.  I made an ornament using pieces from the Rustic Beauty Kit.

I adhered the flower die cut to a piece of transparency film that I cut to fit inside my ornament using my Silhouette Cameo.  I adhered ribbon around the top of the ornament holder and added a bow.

I added this cork charm with an angel flair.  This ornament was inspired by my mom who loved angels and butterflies.  She was not really a pink girl - her favorite color was blue.  I used pink because the ribbon I have looked nice with the angel.

You can join our challenge HERE.

This hop will be full of wonderful ideas and inspiration to get you well on your way  of creating all of those beautiful Christmas project. This is an awesome way to get a lot of your Christmas cards, and scrapbook layouts  finished, home decorations completed and maybe even be inspired to  create something using a new technique that you have never tried.  There will be a new project posted each and every day by all the wonderful  amazing ladies in this hop.

This is one of my favorite bog hops to participate in every year as it motivates me to create for the holidays!!  The sponsors are on Lisa's BLOG - be sure to visit and comment every day and you just might get a prize!!!

My project for today is a very special ornament:



William is one of my daycare boys who went off to Kindergarten this fall.  He drew a picture of me and wrote his name.  I asked him and his twin sister to write their names for a special ornament I wanted to make for mom.  This ornament idea came later!!

I copied and traced his name and the picture of me using my Silhouette Cameo.  I put a circle on my mat to represent the ornament size I was using and sized the images to fit inside.

I cut everything out in white vinyl.
To make this sparkly ornament, you need a glass ball ornament (mine is a flat ball ornament), Polycrylic, glitter and a funnel.  Use the funnel to put the polycrylic into the ornament.  Slowly turn the ornament until all parts are covered (do not shake as it will cause bubbles).  Turn the ornament upside down and drain excess polycrylic into a disposable cup or egg carton.  This just takes a minute or two to drain.

Use the funnel and pour in extra fine glitter.  Slowly turn the ornament until all parts are covered.  Empty excess glitter back into the original glitter container.

I have really enjoyed this hop and I have been doing it for a few years!  I hope you were inspired and have a Very Crafty Christmas!!

My project for today is:
I made a glass ornament with Tanner's photo on the back and his handwriting on the front.
I traced the flat ornament on the picture of Tanner and cut it out.  I punched the hole to match the hole in the ornament.  I used Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage adhesive to adhere the photo to the back of the glass. 
Once it dried, I trimmed around the edges as needed.

Tanner is learning cursive in school FINALLY!  He has been begging me since kindergarten to learn cursive.  He started writing his name in cursive on his papers, so I took a picture of his handwriting and traced it with my cameo software.

I used the offset feature to thicken up the letters a bit and cut them out with white vinyl. 
I used clear contact paper to transfer "Tanner" to the front of the ornament. 
Tanner was amazed when he saw this!! 
Every year I make a few ornaments that are special - a vacation memento or something significant that happened.  This is my favorite one so far for 2014!!

Mickey Ornament (The Buckle Boutique)

***This was scheduled for  November 10th but blogger did not auto post when I was out of town!


Hello - I am featured today at The Buckle Boutique Blog with a Sparkly Christmas Ornament.  It is that time of year when crafty people start making holiday gift and home decor items!!!  I wanted an ornament to remember our Disney trip this year. 

I cut a Mickey Head out of a Resin Rhinestone Sticker Sheet from The Buckle Boutique.  I used my cricut and the Disney Font cartridge.  I put the sticker sheet face down on my cricut mat.  I tape all around it with clear packing tape just in case my mat is not sticky enough!!
I use the Deep Cut Blade set to 6 and Multi Cut set to 2. I slow down the speed to Medium, but sometimes the Gypsy has a mind of her own concerning the speed!!

Once I had the Mickey head cut, I gently popped it out and set it aside.

Next I opened my Silhouette Studio and used Waltograph font from my computer and curved the words and numbers to fit my ornament shape.

For a tutorial on this, you can go HERE.

Here is the vinyl after I cut it out and weeded it.  I used clear contact paper from the Dollar Tree to transfer the image to my flat round glass ornament.
This photo shows the sparkle of the Resin Rhinestones and the ribbon.
I can't wait to hang this on my Christmas tree!!

What are you creating for the holidays this year?
