Vintage bottlecap ornaments

Hi there!  Today I am sharing some ornaments I made for my dining room tree.  I cut strips of text from an old book to create a "snowflake".  I sprinkled some snow glitter on top, and added some bottlecaps to the center with vintage santa images.  I got the Santa images from The Graphic Fairy.  Love her stuff!  I looped some baker's twine from The Twinery through the top of one of the loops to hang on the tree.  These are super easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Stamps Of Life October Club Release-Holly4Christmas!!!!!

Please scroll down for newer posts!  This will stay at the top for the rest of the week!  Thanks!

Hello!  Can it really be October 1st?  Geesh!  The beginning of the month means the new club release from The Stamps of Life.  This may just be one of my favorites to date!  This set is called Holly4Christmas and is FABULOUS!  I love the wonderful font of the sentiment along with the larger size of the sentiments!  I have more cards to show you but I thought I would start by showing you this ornament I made.
I used papers from Memory Box's Mistletoe collection and covered a kraft paper mache ornament from Hobby Lobby.  I also covered a chipboard bird with paper from this collection.  I stamped "joy" on the front and the sentiment on the back.  The sentiment is colored in with a red copic and the holly on the back is paper pieced.  I added a gold tinsel ribbon trim around the perimeter.

This set sells for $12.95, but if you are a club member, it is only $10.95.  Shipping is $1.00!  You can't beat that price!  Below you will find a photo of this wonderful set!

Have a Fabulous Friday!

Friends With Flair and some NEW {ippity} inspiration!

Hello! I hope you are having fun today looking at all of the wonderful Unity inspiration!  I got my big box of {ippity} yesterday and couldn't wait to play!  The Kissmas and Mistletoe set makes me sooooooo happy!  I love it!  I couldn't wait to pair that snowman image with my d'vine swirl CB folder!  I also made a matching ornament to go with the card.  I took some photos for a quick little tutorial!

First you need to find an old spool from ribbon.  I got this idea from Patti, the owner of Paper Maniac!  What a great way to recycle those ribbon spools!  If you are like me, you probably go through ALOT of these!  I used my nesties to create my circles in brown and kraft-to match my card.  The snowmen are stamped in ridinghood red.  I sponged brown ink around the edges and over the raised swirls and also on my snomen.

Now you use some tacky tape to tape a band of ribbon around the spool.  I created a loop on one end so that I could create my hemp twine ornament hanger.

Clear as mud?  LOL!  The ornament is really easy to make!  Who wouldn't want to receive a homemade card and matching ornament?  I hope you give it a try.  Remember...FREE shipping on my {ippity} products the month of November!  Click HERE to shop!
