Today I'm using a beautiful ornament set called Vintage Ornaments - and they just happen to 'fit' in the Heirloom Ornament Nestabilities! Whoo hoo!!! But, never fear if you don't have the nesties - the ornament stampings are also very easy to hand cut!
This is what the overhead light in my diningroom will look like this Christmas season.
I stamped three of the five ornaments included in this set directly on these pretty patterned papers, stamping the three sentiments in their centers.
Here are a few pics of how I made each of these 3D ornaments. First I stamped the image 4 times and cut them out punching a hole in the top for the ribbon. Some of the sentiments I used are from last years sets - Very Vintage Christmas and Seasons of Love.
I scored a line down the center of each piece on the back.
I folded each piece on the score line, then glued the pieces together.
Here's how it looks from the top after all the pieces are glued together.
I used a needle threader to help me get the ribbon through the small punched holes.
To finish them off - I just glued a jewelled pin into the base of each ornament.
What would you make with these wonderful vintage ornament stamps this holiday season??
Now you'll want to check out the rest of the DT's peeks for today!
