Ready to see what I've been creating this week? Cute little Christmas ornaments made of wood, as well as paper... fun, huh?
I designed the words and an ornament template for the Silhouette craft cutting machine, which can be purchased online through their store. The words are great on a scrapbook pages or other holiday projects too. This is just the beginning of designs to come from me for Silhouette.
Do you want to win a set of ornaments I've made? I'm feeling quite jolly this morning, so I am going to do a drawing to win a set of 5 of these handmade ornaments I've created (I'll personalize one of those ornaments with your last name too). and 5 paper gift boxes. Just leave a comment under this post with your name & email for your chance to win and I'll randomly draw a winner on Monday. I'll close comments around 3pm and draw a winner sometime that evening. US residents only, for shipping reasons. Sorry.
Wood Designs:
Paper Gift Boxes: It's all about presentation, right? This is a fun gift idea for teachers, neighbors, friends, etc. Fill them with a treat that can be opened after displaying the ornament on their tree through December.
Here are instructions if you'd like to create your own:
Wood instructions:
Ornament gift box: The template can be purchased through Silhouette's online store, under my stuff.
Most of the ribbon used on my ornaments are by American Crafts. If you are in Utah, they are having a warehouse sale til' December 24th. A great time to buy! I bought my ribbon at their last warehouse sale for a killer price! I think I need to go back and get some more.
very fun, especially love the little gift boxes. wonderful as usual.

I LOVE the aqua "winter wonderland" the colors are so fresh and turq happens to be my favorite color. I really like the wood block idea, I could have used the box last night for a gift exchange I'm in this afternoon. Love your designs and will be looking for them to use on my silhouette.

These are so so adorable. I love them. It's great that you are willing to share how you do it. This is is super way to get some use out of all the old scrapbook paper my mom has. I'll have to show her your site. Way cute. So are you selling them too? I'd love to buy some in a month or 2 when finances get back to normal from all the winter festivities.
