I've been trying to get as many things done as I possibly can in this run up to Christmas - I have SO much that I need to get done!
One thing I've been able to check off (for now) is my snowflake ornaments - I've been making more for my pink and white tree and I also made some for gifts.
This first one I made for our tree. It's the CuttleBug Ice Crystal die cut from chipboard backing (what comes on the backs of pads of paper) then painted with acrylic paint.
I then coated the snowflake with Mod Podge and covered it with pink Making Memories glitter.
I had a TON of Prima daisies in my stash from well over 2 years ago - it felt good to use them all up on these ornaments!
I centered another snowflake (made from punching SU! Regal Rose cardstock with my Marvy Super Jumbo Snowflake punch) that I glittered up with my Quickie glue pen and ranger glitter, on the ornament then used my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole through all three and attached them with a WeR jumbo eyelet (another thing I've had a ton of sitting here waiting to be used up!!).
They turned out pretty cute I think! I used fishing line for hangers and now they're up on my tree!!
These gold snowflakes I made as a gift for my mom's tree this Christmas. They were SO time consuming but I loved making them!
I die cut the large snowflake with my Sizzix Bigz die (in the SU! Holiday Mini) then painted it gold with my gold paint dabber.
The smaller snowflake was cut with the CuttleBug Ice Crystal die, then coated with Aged Mahogony Distress Crackle Paint, after it dried and cracked I painted the other side, let it dry and crack then sponged the snowflake with burgandy ink.
I added gold tinsel between the snowflakes before attaching them with buttons and twine.
The buttons are from my stash - not having any gold ones I just picked several random ones and spray painted them gold - worked perfectly :o)
I added glitter to the snowflakes by mixing some gold glitter with Mod Podge then rubbing it on to the ornaments with my finger. Once the Mod Podge dried you could no longer see the adhesive - just the glitter!
Last but not least are these pink and white ornaments I made as a gift for a friend of mine for her Christmas tree. I painted the snowflakes pearly white with my Pearl paint dabber then sprinkled on pink glitter before the paint dried.
I sandwiched a bazzill flower between 2 snowflakes and the shimmery basket filler before attaching pink buttons with white embroidery thread.
The ornaments fit in a nugget tin easily - I'll be decorating the tin before I give it as a gift - I just haven't had a chance to yet!!
