This is another project we created for the All Day Class at Beachmere and my November classes at home.  I found an online tutorial by Kim Oliver here which I used as the basis for my ornament.  The leaves are cut using the large and small leaf die and the large and small leaf embossing die from the Natures Roots Framelits Dies – 5 large Call Me Clover leaves, 5 large Lovely Lipstick leaves and 10 small Lovely Lipstick leaves.  It was a little time consuming getting all the pieces ready for the ladies to assemble their ornaments but totally worth it on the day.  Each lady only had to emboss one leaf to complete their ornament.  The ornament hangers were created using either Lovely Lipstick or Call Me Clover 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon.  We added a Whisper White circle on the back of the ornament to add either the date or write a message if gifting the ornament.

Because most of the ladies in my classes are a little older, they have most of the ornaments that they wish to use at Christmas so gifting is most common.  We created a pizza style presentation box using Lovely Lipstick card.  The Whisper White panel on the top is stamped using the swirl image from the Stylish Christmas stamp set and Call Me Clover ink.  We stamped one flower from the Stylish Christmas stamp set onto Whisper White card using Lovely Lipstick ink and cut it out using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies.  The panel is attached to a Call Me Clover scalloped oval and then the  top of the box.  We stamped another flower using Lovely Lipstick ink and two sets of holly leaves using Call Me Clover ink onto scrap Whisper White.  The images were cut out, leaves attached to the back of the flower and then the whole piece is attached over the stamped flower using dimensionals.  We added a few Basic Rhinestones to the centre of the flower to finish it off.

Because the ladies loved it so much and because it is fun to create gifts for your family and friends, please feel free to download the PDF tutorial.

I would love to know what you think?

Bye for now,

Kris
