Merry Monday Ornaments

It's Merry Monday time again.

Here's Lesley's fantastic sketch.

I flipped it over to put the ornament at the top left.

I was so excited to get this Ornament Keepsake bundle.  The stamp set and Framelit dies can be bought separately or bundled for a great savings.  There is such a beautiful selection of ornaments in this set and they all have a companion framelit die so they can be cut out quickly and easily.

And here with all this easy, I miscut one ornament and it's trimmed closer than it should be.  I had turned the paper over and stamped on the back when I wasn't satisfied with the stamping on the front.  I smacked all the stamped ornaments with VersaMark and clear embossed them for a shinier look.  When I cut them out, I wasn't paying close attention evidently and cut that one out on the unembossed side.  Oh well, it's not perfect, but you can tell it's handmade!

I stamped the round ornament with Encore Gold and embossed with gold.  Then I punched the center out with my 3/4" circle punch and adhered it to the center of the ornament.   I used the Gold ink on the hangers too.

Some gold cord hangs the ornaments from the sentiment.

I hope you'll join us for the Merry Monday challenge this week.  Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's cards as well as our featured designer.   (I've had a sneak peek and they are fantastic as always.)
