Reverse Popped UpOrnament Card

I've moved on from ornaments to ornament cards! This card was fun to make. Below the supply list is the order of assembly to make this card easy to make, too! (I apologize for the poor quality of the photo.) It looks as thought the edges of the ornaments show when finished but they really don't!

Order of Assembly:

3.  THEN emboss Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

4.  Attach white mat to A2 cardstock base.

5.  Attach Cherry Cobbler mat to front of card using pop dots.

6.  On white cardstock scrap, stamp and using framelits to cut out same 3 ornaments as in step 1.

7.  Attach these ornaments through openings in Cherry cobbler card front.

8.  Attach crochet thread or baker's twine bows to top of ornaments.

9.  Add a sentiment with pop dots.  You're done!

Ornament #7Pink & Lime

Happy Birthday Jeanne!

This ornament is for my favorite sister.  Okay, so she's my only sister!  I couldn't ask for a better sister, she's just such an amazing, loving, caring woman.  True story:  My sister, Jeanne, is 6 years older than me, and when we were kids, if my sister was angry with me about something (I was a real pest, apparently) she would threaten to cut off my eyelashes when I was asleep!  Really she did.  She has blond hair and short eyelashes, I have dark hair and very long eyelashes, so that was her threat, to cut off my eyelashes! (She never did cut them short!)  Today, of course, we laugh about it and although she still issues that threat as a joke, I do live clear across the country so I think my eyelashes are safe!  Jeanne's craft studio is pink, lime, and black so I made this ornament just for her.

Ornament #4Studio Fun

I wanted an ornament to hang in my studio because I knew I would give away the rest of my ornaments.  This ornament sure looks pretty in my studio!  This ornament is different than the last few I've posted and it ended up being larger.  Thank you to Pam, my SU Demo - one of these days I'll need to give her back her stamp set and dies!
