Thinking about Christmas

Published by Julia Stainton at 5:46 am under Cornish Heritage Farms, Holiday, Papercraft projects

While I’m in the mood for getting ahead this year, I thought I’d share a couple other Christmas projects I’ve created. Decorating for the holidays is always fun and paper crafting some handmade decorations is a great way to make them special.

This first decoration is a stamped image that I’ve placed in a two inch square Ranger Memory Frame. A sentiment is then stamped right on the Memory Glass with Black Stazon Ink.

Believe Santa Ornament

This image is Santa’s Lap from CHF and is colored with Copic Markers. I’m going to put this glass frame on a present as the gift tag and then the recipient can hang it on their tree.

TK Christmas Ornament

Michael’s carries some great paper mache ornaments and one of them in this star shape. For a fun quick ornament, I covered one with some Thomas Kinkade Christmas paper and then sponged the edges. After adhering a little blue velvet ribbon around the edges, a few quick embellishments finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

You are so creative-both ornaments are so neat and I like the baubles on the candle.

These little ornaments blew me away. They are both so different from anything else I’ve seen. There’s something “rich” looking about them. They’re certainly fine enough to be nice little gifts and who wouldn’t love them? Even Hannakuh and Kwanzaa celebrants would like some for their celebrations. Thanks for sharing. I think I might try these. B : )

Two fab ornaments Julia, that Santa is irresistible, isn’t he?

I particularly love the paper mache ornament with the Kincade paper and star. Nice work. Have a great day. Stella

I was trying to think of a way to use Santa’s Lap again, since I used it for many cards last year. This would be an awesome way to do that! Thanks for the inspiration!
