Christmas - Ornaments - “Seasons Greetings” Trio


“Seasons Greetings” Trio

Here I will show you 3 different examples for making some great stamped ornaments for decorating your house. Most all materials shown in this project are from Club Scrap.

Supply list:
-Cardstock: Club Scrap
-“Sprig” stamp: Club Scrap
-“Seasons Greetings” stamp: ANM
-Ink: Tsukineko Brillance Gold
-Posh Impressions Gold Accent Pen
-Crafters Pick Glue
-DMC Floss

1. Cut (4) pieces of green cardstock and (4) pieces of burgundy cardstock all 6 inches x 6 inches. Cut (4) pieces of green cardstock and (4) pieces of burgundy cardstock all 4 inches x 4 inches. Cut (4) pieces of green cardstock and (4) pieces of burgundy cardstock all 2 inches x 2 inches.
2. Rubberstamp “sprig” image in gold on green pieces, stamp “seasons greetings” in gold on burgundy pieces. Repeat on all squares.
3. Score a line from corner to corner in both directions. Repeat on all squares.
4. Cut one of the score lines from corner to center of square. Repeat on all squares.
5. Fold on score lines, overlapping flaps creating 3D triangles. Adhere the flaps together. Repeat on all squares.
6. Adhere all the triangles together in sets of two (1 top and 1 bottom) alternating between green and burgundy, once you have 4 sets in one size, then adhere ONLY three of the sets together, again alternating colors. Set aside and repeat on other two ornaments.
7. Now run a strip of crafter’s pick glue down the center of the largest ornament. Take a long piece of DMC floss folded in half, creating a loop at the top of the largest ornament, lay down the center in the glue. Now attach the last set of triangles to the ornament. Leave about 1-2 inches between ornaments and repeat steps to attach the next two ornaments. Let dry
8. Wrap extra floss around the top of hanging floss to create a faux tassel at base of ornaments. Trim up floss as needed.
