Floral Christmas ornaments

Today I am sharing my last post for 2022. I cannot believe how the time has flown and we have completed another year. I am sure that you have found the same. I have a batch of Christmas cards to show you today that I made this year.


These are 5x7 cards. I wanted that gorgeous 3D embossing folder to shine and there just was not enough real estate on a notecard for it to do so next to the large ornament. I made the cards in non-traditional colors, using teal, pink and purple.


For each ornament, I cut two layers of heavyweight white cardstock and then a layer of colored cardstock to coordinate with the background, but a lighter shade so that it would be well visible. I glued all three layers together to make a sturdy ornament. I arranged the Christmas Blooms dies, also cut out of shades of the same color, to the ornaments, trimming off the excess. I then inked the edges with Distress Oxide ink in the same color.


I added the embossed panel to a cardbase and inked the edges with Pumice Stone distress oxide ink. I cut the ornament topper, string, bow and sentiment out of silver cardstock and added them to the cards.

I enjoy monochromatic cards and that style lent itself well to these non-traditional cards.
