Well, for this months Papertrey Ink Senior Design Team Challenge our focus is on the fast approaching holidays by putting Vintage Ornaments and Vintage Ornaments Additions to good use. I have yet to acquire the Additions set, but today I bring to you a fun embossing idea using Vintage Ornaments...
Here's a coordinating card and tag in a color combo of Soft Stone, Aqua Mist, Spring Moss and Pure Poppy.
First up the card. I started with a die cut Half & Half strip, stamped it with a Vintage Ornament sentiment and attached to the card with dimensional adhesive.
Check out these hand made frosted glass ornaments, created from cardstock and clear embossing powder. Here's How: I die cut the ornaments from white cardstock, stamped the icing (in Pure Poppy and Aqua Mist) and then heat embossed the solid ornament image using clear powder.
Next up... the tag. I started by trimming, stamping and attaching a sentiment strip to a Soft Stone tag. Then, using the same technique as above, I stamped, embossed and attached the ornament.
Next step was to attach the ribbon tab. 
Here's How: Thread twine through the button, then thread twine ends through the hole at the top of the tag. Flip the tag over, place the ribbon and tie securely into place with the twine ends.
Here's a nice shot of the frosted glass look. I finished the tag off with a couple die cut Spring Moss holly leaves, one stamped with Background Basics: Circles and the other with Background Basics: Gingham.Well, that's it from me today. Now be sure to visit the other Papertrey Ink Senior Design Team girls for more Vintage Ornaments goodness...

Love the balance you bring to everything you make - your card is absolutely beautiful and your frosted glass technique is so effective - thanks for spoiling us!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you show how you do things. The ribbon/button combo on the tag is so simple, but I never would have thought to do it like that. Love.
ReplyDeletelove wha you've done with this set Maile!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Ms. Maile! I love the ornament cards! I have the dies but not the stamps. Hmmm....guess I need to rethink that huh? LOL. Hope you are well my friend!
ReplyDeleteAloha Maile - I really like this technique but I am confused on how it's done exactly. Maybe it's because I don't know much about using die sets.... How did you get the embossing powder to cover the ornaments so precisely, with no powder on the last 1/8 of the edge?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kokua!
