Handmade Burlap Ornament Gift Set

Hello again friends, it's time for the monthly Samantha Walker

Creative Team Blog Hop and the theme this month is Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas.

I always love making ornaments as gifts, one year I created a full

set of cupcake ornaments, and I usually do an exchange as well. This year

I decided to make some vintage style burlap ornaments using the

Samantha Walker 8 Piece Tag SVG Set.

Take heavy duty overstock paper I used metallic paper.

"Ungroup" tags and choose style you want with open area in the middle.

Trim out 2 of each.

Using the middle cuts you will throw out or save, use as template

and cut burlap slightly larger to fit into frame.

Adhere both sides of tags to each other with burlap in the center.

Add snowflake or flowers, then add gemstones to each side.

You can use leftover burlap strands to hang ornaments,

I folded it over 4 times and tied it.

I also hot glued a burlap bow to the bottom.

They have a very soft vintage style perfect for any tree really.

The nest stop on the blog hop is Diane:

This month the hop the prize will be the $10 gift card to digiplayground.com.

They will announce the Blog Hop Winner on Monday, 12/15 on Samantha's Facebook Page.

Prizes Christmas Ornament Tutorial W/ Xyron & Maya Road

Good morning friends, welcome to the

Xyron & Maya Road Blog SWAP.

PLENTY of prizes to be had so be sure to hop along!

I have these handmade ornaments to share today using some

of my favorite products. They would make a wonderful gift- especially

for those of us on a tight budget.

Using CutCardStock and Spellbinders dies- cut and emboss 2 of each die for

every ONE ornament. (Want to make sure they are double sided!).

Run embossed die cut through Xyron 3" Sticker Maker.

Press 2 of the dies together creating a double sided die cut.

Using Maya Road Chipboard Snowflakes- run them through the

Xyron 1.5" Create-A-Sticker rub well and peel.

Coat adhesive side with Fairydust Glitter.

Shake off excess.

Use Xyron 3/16 High Tack Adhesive Dots to adhere snowflakes to ornament.

Make sure to place snowflake on both sides! :)

Using embossing pad and gold embossing powder-

heat emboss sides of each ornament.

Allt he way around edges.

I also embossed the Maya Road Cord just to add some coordination.

And now I have beautiful and very detailed ornaments.

I hope you visit all the blogs and the Xyron blog for

more info on the prizes!

Have a great Tuesday friends!!!

~PrizesChristmas Ornament Sun Catcher- All Things Altered Blog Hop~

Good morning and welcome to the last stop on the

All Things Altered Winter Blog Hop.

My project is a versatile project- it could be a long ornament

OR a winter window sun-catcher! :)

I took a Clear Scraps Tree mini album, I coated the edges in Piccolo

Enamel powder and heat set it. Creating a little bit of crinkling on the trees.

Then I used Clearsnap glitter to create a snowy feel.

After that I punched holes in the button and threaded them with gold ribbon.

And placed the Momenta Metals snowflakes on each side.

(This is two sided)

Then I threaded a Connie Crystal sun-catcher at the bottom.

I love the end project, I am so making more this week!

There are plenty of prizes along the way you do not want to miss any of this hop!

Since I am the LAST chickita on the blog hop you can go
