Angel Wings Chrismas Ornament

 For December all Blank Page Muse DT members are making Christmas ornaments. Because we are all busy in December I thought to make a quick and simple ornament, that does not require a lot of supplies to make. The process can be watched in the video below. This idea can be used with any symmetrical stamp, e.g. butterflies, flowers or whatever theme you want your Christmas decorations to be.

If you want to make a lot of ornaments, it is easy to set up you own assembly line, first stamp out all the images you want to turn into ornaments, next color them, emboss, cut the images out and add the hanger. A fun activity to do together with kids. 

List of materials used:

Rubber Stamp "Angel Feathered Wings Heart shaped" by Blank Page Muse, (this stamp can also be found on the "Wings"stamp set.)

White cardstock

Waterproof stamp ink in black

Embossing ink pad

Silver Holographic embossing powder

Colored pencils 

Wire, ribbon, or twine

Scissors

Heat gun

Glue

For detailed instructions, see video:

Here another picture, it's hard to capture the glitter in a photograph.

I hope you enjoyed watching the video and will have fun making your own ornaments. For more ideas check in on the blog regularly, there will be lots of fun projects made by the team this month.

First Christmas Together Ornament

Hello!  Susie on the blog today with a Quick Idea for a "First Christmas Together" ornament.

All the ornaments on my Christmas tree remind me of events and people in my life.  Decorating my tree every year is like a walk down Memory Lane. I love to reminisce with my husband and children as we "deck the halls".  I also like to give ornaments that commemorate special events: a graduation, a new home, a new baby or...a First Christmas Together!

Time to play...

Supplies:
Lady & Man Clock with Writing Art Rubber Stamp
Clearsnap ColorBox Blends Inks
Archival Ink, black
Embossing ink
Embossing powder, black & clear holographic
Decorative circle die
Metallic gold cardstock
Metallic gold marker
Want2Scrap Baby Bling, black & clear rhinestones

Directions:

• Stamp and heat emboss the image with black ink and embossing powder.

• Color image as desired and protect with a layer of clear embossing powder. 
• Cut out the image and adhere to decorative background. (I used a Spellbinder's die cut, but you could actually use a store bought doily - they come in lots of different colors and finishes.)

• Add sparkle and texture around the edge with self adhesive rhinestone bling!

• Optional:  write on the back with names, dates and personal note.

Happy New Year and thank you for stopping by!  I hope you find some time to play today!

Mermaid Mini Christmas Tree Ornament

Hello!  Susie on the blog today with a mermaid themed mini Christmas tree ornament.

I am a fan of mini Christmas trees and shrink plastic is the perfect way to create homemade ornaments for them!  I also like Christmas trees with themes, and since I grew up near the beach and love scuba diving and the ocean, it really is no surprise that I reached for a mermaid stamp, is it?

Time to play...

Supplies:
The Femmes Mermaid Ocean Scene Large Rubber Stamp
Shrink Plastic
Archival Ink, black
Stamping platform
Sharpie markers
Crop A Dile
Beads
Jute

Directions:

• Stamp image onto shrink plastic using permanent black ink.

• Use permanent markers to color on the reverse side of the image. (I used Sharpies - so many colors and you can buy them everywhere!) 

• Punch holes as desired and then bake according to the manufacturer's instructions. 

• Add sparkle and texture with beads and a tassel. 

What kind of a themed tree do you want to create?  Your stamps probably reflect your interests - I think I feel a cat ornament coming on...

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Crafting Christmas Ornaments with the Kids!

Hello!  Susie on the blog today and I have a couple of quick and easy Christmas ornaments to share with you today!

Our theme this month is 3D Holiday Ornaments - with *SPARKLE*!
One of our family traditions over the years has been to make Christmas ornaments with the kids.  They need to be fast and easy, but also allow for individual creative input.  Head on over to the local craft store and pick up a couple of those inexpensive plastic ornaments - the ones that pull apart so you can fill them - and pull out your winter themed stamps!

Time to play...

Supplies:
Child Riding a Sled Winter Line Art Rubber Stamp
Two Children Riding a Sled Winter Fun Rubber Stamp
Plastic Ornaments
Acetate Sheet
Archival ink, black
Stamping platform
Sharpie Markers
Spray adhesive
Silver Glitter
Faux snow
Washi tape


Directions:

• Stamp on acetate with permanent black ink.  I recommend using a stamping platform for this as it minimizes the possibility of smears.

• After the ink dries, color on the back side of the design with permanent ink markers. (I used Sharpies - they come in so many colors now!)

• When you are finished cut the acetate to fit inside the ornament. (They usually come with a template just for this purpose!) 

• Place your stamped image inside the ornament and seal it up with some sparkly faux snow!

And here it is on the tree!

Using the same basic idea I created a slightly different style ornament.

•  Stamp image on acetate with permanent black ink, color and cut to size.

• Protect the edges of the back side of the ornament with tape.

• Spray the inside of the back half of the ornament with adhesive and then quickly add glitter. Tap out the excess and wait for it to dry.  (It just takes a few minutes!)

• Remove the protective tape, add the stamped image and the sparkly faux snow before sealing it up.

It adds all kinds of sparkle and shine to your tree!

These are easy enough to be made with kids of all ages, although it is always a good idea to supervise the young ones when glitter is involved! The best part is that when they are done, you can use the Sharpie markers to personalize the outside of the plastic ornaments with the date and name of your young artist! You can add a new design every year!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Angelic Mermaid Ornament

Hi BPM Fans!!

 It's December and Xmas is looming ever closer!!!

Hope you are enjoying our Quick Makes and Xmas ornaments so far this month!

I'm sharing a stamped fabric ornament - it's a little bit fiddly but so worth the effort when you see the end result!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Kai Lana Mermaid designed by Stephanie Eaton

Scraps Calico Fabric

Brown or Black Ink Pad

Coloured Pencils

Sewing Machine

Stuffing/Hobby Fill

Sparkly flower ornament or puffy wings etc.

Fishing Line

Tools: strong clear glue, scissors, large eye needle, chopstick or poker to push stuffing in! 

Instructions:

Stamp "Kai Lana" onto the calico fabric with the brown ink pad and colour with coloured pencils. Colour to match your Xmas theme!

Layer the stamped coloured fabric piece onto another piece of scrap calico and using your sewing machine sew all around the stamped image (through both layers of fabric) as shown in the photo and trim as shown below.

Next step is to separate the two layers of fabric so you can carefully snip a slit in the back layer. Use this slit to add stuffing and use a chopstick or the like to push into the cavity.

Use your needle and fishing line to make a loop for hanging the ornament.

Use your strong glue to attach the wings. For this project I used the "petals" from some sparkly gold tree ornaments. This step covers the slit in the back of the ornament - saving you from having to sew it up!

Your angelic mermaid is now ready for hanging on your tree! 

Seasons Greetings

Angel Ornament

Hi gang,

The project for today is a Christmas ornament. Yes I made an ornament using the Phoebe Art Doll Rubber Stamp Set from Sin City Stamps. I knew the moment I saw this stamp that I wanted to make it into an ornament for my tree.

Supplies:

  Sin City Stamp: Phoebe Art Doll Rubber Stamp Set

Other Supplies:

  Copic Markers

  Sentiment die cut

  Angel wings die cuts

  Gold twine 

Step 1: Die cut the three layers of the angel wings.

Step 2:  Using Copic markers in shades of gray, I colored the wings.

Step 3:  I assembled the wings using foam tape to add dimension to the wings.

Step 4:  I stamped the Phoebe Art Doll and cut her out.  I colored the stamp using Copic markers.

Step 5:  Next the wings were attached to the back of the angel in a manner to show flight.

Step 6:  The final step was to attach a piece of gold twine to the backside of the ornament for the hanger.

My Christmas Angel using Sin City Stamps!  Isn't she lovely?

Please share your creations with us at Sin City Facebook Fan Page.  We would love to see what you have made.
