LSC 251: Silver and Gold...

****Click Here for my Copic Blog Candy!!!! Winner will be announced on Christmas Day!!!!*****

Todays LSC251 challenge on SCS was to make something with Silver and Gold...I went with Glitter Ball ornaments...they look gorgeous and have silver caps at the top...I hope you like them!

This is the one I entered into the LSC challenge because it had the monst "gold" I actually used summer sun reinker to make this one and at first I was a bit skeptical (my daughter picked the color) but I actually love how it turned out! The girl has good taste!

Here is a view of all the ornaments...the purple one is for my daughter...she picked the color and the snowflake...cute...just like her!

A shade of blue, I think this is a reiner from last years in colors...bayou blue!

Love how this red one turned out...real red...about 25 drops, swirl and add glitter. easy peasy!

I think this is one of my favorite...tempting turquoise!

Green Galore also turned out very festive...so festive that I made 2!

And this is a view of the ornaments from the top...these felt flurries snowflakes just look incredible on these glitter ball ornaments! Too bad I ran out of my black gingham ribbon! Boo Hiss!

Supplies:

Stamps: None

Ink: Various refills

Paper: None

Accessories: Dazzling diamonds glitter, felt flurries, gingham ribbon, glass ball ornaments

Another Kusudama Ball...

I love these things! I have been working feverishly on these this winter, along with some other handmade projects for the nieces and nephews. I love these ornaments, they pack such a punch and look awesome on the tree...not to mention someone is really going to think you love them because you spent so much time making it! Hmmmm for some reason blogger keeps rotating this image....piddlley poo.

Again for these ornaments all you need is:

-60 pieces of 3x3 paper

-glue (I used my FAV mono multi)

-ribbon, beads and whatever else you want to use to decorate the flowing ribbons

Here is a link to Part 1 and Part 2 of the instructions on how to make this AWESOME ornaments!

Thanks for stopping by, please let me know if you have tried this technique...I would love to see yours!

Here is link to the other Kusudama ball I made and posted.

Happy Stampin'

May God bless you today and always.

I've been away...but very busy!

My friend Nikki asked me if I wanted to do a craft fair with her this Friday evening and I couldn't pass it up...We have 2 tables and I am jazzed...although I think hers will be a little more jazzy than mine! LOL I have been super busy making things for that and really no time to post much. I have also been working on some samples for a customer who's son will be 1 on Valentines day...so that's what I've been up to...I would like to share something with you though...

I made these last year, but they are good for a little revisit...they are ornaments made from Laminate counter top samples that you can get at any major home improvement store...I actually have a whole bunch of them! LOL I think they are super cute and they already have a hole in them for the ribbon...what couls be better?

For the ornaments above I used wild wasabi cardstock and ink, baroqu motif stamp set and holidays and wishes stamp set...once stamped I covered the whole thing with versamark powder and embossed with Irridescent Ice EP.

For the ornaments below I used just red and black cardstock and whisper white craft inkand embossed with clear embossing powder. The buckles are from the hodge podge hardware kits that are no longer available.poo poo! Easy peasy and super cute...way to recycle!

I hope you enjoyed these little cuties! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Kusudama balls

I am totally and hopelessly addicted to origami right now! Useful origami...I know most origami is useful to look at, but these Kusudama balls can be ornaments! Who wouldn't love a glorious handmade ornament? These ornaments are not for the faint of heart...they take some time and dedication, but they sure are worth the effort!

To make some of these Kusudama balls you will need:

**60 pieces of 3x3 paper

**glue

**patience

And here is a close up of the ornament...pretty neat looking huh?

I know you will all want to see how it's made....soooo

Here is the link to part one of the tutorial and here is the link to part two of the tutorial.

I have been trying to post this all weekend...my darn computer is super slow!!! I will be posting my Little Paper Shop Monday DT challenge a little later today! Thanks for stopping by!

If you do try to make these lovely ornaments please leave me a comment with a link...I would love to see them!

Have a super stamping day!

May God Bless you today and always!
