I decided to make another video, since I woulda had to take WAY too many pictures for this tutorial. I am going to show you how to make Christmas Card Ornaments. I have seen cards made like this, but not with directions, so I'm here to help.
Here are is one card that I made, using CC Designs stamps from All That Scraps (sentiment and snowflakes).
I totally {heart} how this could pass off for an ornament - I mean, you could totally customize this for each friend, to make it match their tree. Wouldn't it be cool to walk in their house and see your card hanging for all to gawk at ?
The directions on how to make this card are in the video, so I will just let you know what I added to this card, as opposed to the one in the video.
I got this AWESOME May Arts velvet ric rac from All That Scraps - it is dreamy
. I added that to the front to give it more of an ornament feel, and then the brads for some added bling.
Through the eyelet on the top, I added some more May Arts Ivory Satin ribbon. This is really good quality, lovely to tie and so shiney.
I think I'm going to try to figure out some way to hold it shut, like magnetic tape, since it wants to open when you hold it by the ribbon.
Now for the tutorial - get your supplies. You will need a piece of 8.5 X 4.25 CS, a coluzzle, and embellishments of your choosing. Let's get started...

I had fun using your inspiration to make my own ornament. I think a few of the American ladies here in Morocco are going to throw an ornament making party. We'll definitely be making more of these! Thanks so much!

Well, this is cute! My computer will never let me view these videos, though. No matter what I do. For some reason I can't get your blog to remember me anymore, either. Wierd, huh? I'll still visit, though. Can't keep me away!

While I love your ideas, the videos are simply impossible for me to do on dial up internet. A 3 minute segment takes me 1 1/2 hours to download.

Posted by: Renee | October 25, 2007 at 07:20 AM
That is wonderful!! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm going to steal this idea for my next card party!
Commenting on another comment - I wonder how you would put the eyelet & ribbon/cord in if you have the fold at the top of the card??
Posted by: Lori | October 25, 2007 at 07:02 AM
Julie -
Great video! I just wanted to suggest putting the fold at the top of the card where you put the eyelet then it would hang closed all by itself. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us.

Julie,
This is adorable! And you did a great job on the video! The only thing I would do differently is to put the brads in before I put the cardstock to the cardfront so it won't show through on the inside of the card. And they make little magnetic circles that I have seen on other stamped items but not sure who makes them.

Thanks so very much for sharing your tutorial. I am going to make some of these. I love the idea. It will also be a good craft to share with my kids at church when we have craft night. Thanks again, Mary Campbell
