Sweetest Christmas DSP strip glass ornament

This is a pretty glass ornament that was one

of my Holiday Extravaganza projects!

 

I put DSP strips inside of the ornament and then added Ribbon, 

 a snowflake decal & Iridescent Rhinestone too!

The snowflake is die cut from the 

Celebrations Tag Dies- #159866= $39.00 page 67 Holiday Catalog

& some retired Red Decal sheets

How did I do it?

• 12- 4 x 1/4" curled strips of DSP
• I curled the DSP by rolling it around a pencil
• then I put them down inside the glass ornament
  

My customers are spoiled, as I do LOTS of the prep work ahead of time for them.

Check out my piles of ribbon, bows & snowflakes that I did the prep work for ahead of time.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

Soft Seedlings Baby Wipe Technique

 

Isn't this just gorgeous!!

This is a totally Susie card!

 It is one of the projects everyone joining me for my upcoming

Holiday Extravaganza event this weekend will be making.

 

I did the baby wipe technique when stamping the leaves.

How did I do it?

I folded a baby wipe in quarters & put inside a clear case.

Then add drops of ink refill onto it.

I used Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze.

Then press stamp into the baby wipe- using this as your ink pad.

Stamp leaves around edges of Basic White card stock.

You will have to re-ink your stamp each time you stamp to get the best leaf image.

NOTES:

I took this photo about 1/2 hour after I had put the ink refill drops onto the baby wipe. 

They have all ran together above.

BUT when you put them onto the baby wipe originally you'll have dots with spaces into between them.

You'll be able to make several cards out of just one baby wipe.

Since I'll be doing this at a class, I'll have to make NEW baby wipes several times.

As when the colors bleed too much it then starts to look muddy & the colors aren't as true & vibrant!

Notice how I added am embossed Vellum layer over the top of it!

I embossed the Vellum with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder.

I put Stampin' Seal PLUS on all 4 corners of the embossed Vellum to attach it to the stamped card stock.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Soft Seedlings'

card stock:

• Crumb Cake- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold in half for card base
  
• Crumb Cake- 3/4 x 3 3/4"- stamp words onto
  
• Cajun Craze- 4 x 5 1/4"
  
• Basic White- 3 3/4 x 5"- stamp leaves onto
  
• Basic White- 3 3/4 x 5"- for inside of card
  
• Vellum- 3 3/4 x 5"- emboss with Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder
  

ink:  Cajun Craze

ink refills:  Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry

other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder; Silver-Threaded Twine; Leaf Label & Amber Gems Combo Pack; Seal PLUS; dimensionals; glue dots
