Blogger’s Challenge - week 16
I’m sooooo happy it’s Friday!!! I have a couple of samples for this week’s Blogger’s Challenge. This challenge was to create ornaments. For my samples I have cards with the removable ornament as part of the design. Take a look……
Both samples start with Papertrey’s white cardstock. Since the front’s of these are a little heavier than most cards, the PTI cardstock provides the support on the base that is needed. Both sets used Carolee’s Creations Adornit pattern paper( ya, I know it was from last year, but I still love this paper). The removable ornaments use Hero Arts die cut chipboard and are covered with the CC pattern paper then trimmed. A little two-way glue (ok a lot of glue because I wanted lots of sparkle) and some SU Dazzking Diamonds. The snowmen, sentiments, and snowflakes stamps are from Inkadinkado’s Holiday Clear Stamp Set “Holiday Swirls”. Using the handheld 1/8″ punch on the chipboard snowflake ran either cording or ribbon through to use as the hanger for the tree. Enjoy, Lila - - Be sure to check out the other Challenges - links on the right……

Beautiful cards Lila! And how great is it that the recipient can remove the ornament and keep it forever. Love all the sparkle!
