Here are 3 fabulous ornament ideas for you to try:

Ornament Idea #1 – Let it Snow Ornament

You know you’ve made a wonderful project when your husband makes a point to tell you he likes it (to quote him, "one of my favourite things you’ve made")! 

This was an original idea by Heather Summers, but I modified this adorable ornament to instead use clear embossing powder mixed with a very tiny amount of white to capture the ‘snowing’ look (a previous mixing mistake turned good!).  The adorable snowmen were made using my large oval punch and the Cold Play stamp set.

I love this ornament – and even sent it out with tons of Christmas cards this year to share it with others!

Ornament Idea #2 – Scallop Punch Ornament

Using the Scallop Circle Punch and some embellishments from the Pretties Kit, this fun ornament can be a great craft idea to do with your kids or just a great way to add some Christmas spirit to your home!

This is an original idea by Ann M. Clemmer and I just love it!

Ornament Idea #3 – 3D Snowman Ornament

This was a fabulous idea shared by Trina St. Michael at our team Christmas Party.   Using small tins (Trina got them at Lee Valley Tools), we built these ornaments using some designer paper and a fun new technique of adding glitter to pop-up glue dots to make it look like rolling snow! Thanks for much for sharing Trina!

Two great gift ideas:

Gift Card Holder

How do you wrap a gift card you ask!?  You can’t go wrong with this beautiful and personalized card holder!  Using The Snowflake Spot, All in the Family and of course Family Accessories (for the presents), this idea is surprisingly easy and quick to make, given how detailed it does appear in the end.

An original idea by Patty Bennett – we made this cute card holder at our annual team Christmas Party with huge success!

Quick tips:

 

Cut cardstock to 4-1/4"x11"

Score at 3", 5-1/2" and 8"

Fold in 1/2 and then fold the outside flaps backwards in toward the center. 

 

Vellum Votive Boat

What a fabulous thinking-outside-the-box stamping idea!  Very simple votive holder made with vellum (2 pieces attached with ribbon) and some coloured cardstock – you just slide this holder over a small glass candle holder and it adds a wonderful cheery feeling!

Have a HAPPY STAMPING Day!  Josee
