Hello everyone… One of my favorites Christmas projects to make is ornament. And today, I have a mini hoop ornament to share with you all.
I made these mini hoop ornaments couple of years ago with stamps and diecuts for my kid’s teacher gifts. But this mini hoop ornament, I created using the Dreaming of Christmas Digital Stamp, one of the new digital stamps and the Holiday Tradition Digital Papers from Graciellie Design.
I love using the Silhouette Print-and-Cut feature when working with digital stamps. It enables me to print the image and then cut it with my Silhouette Cameo.
First, I open the poinsettia cone bouquet image from the Dreaming of Christmas Digital Stamp with my Silhouette Studio Designer software, resized it to fit on the mini hoop, and then I created the cutting line with Trace Tool.
Before I printed it, I turned on the Print-n-Cut feature on the Silhouette.
I printed them on a Mixed Media paper with Canon inkjek printer.
After the printing, I put it on Silhouette Cutting Mat and cut it with Silhouette Cameo.
I dried the image with craft heater just to make sure the ink is really dry before the coloring.
I colored them with Arteza Real Brush Pens. These brush pens blend really well even without water.
I printed the musical pattern from the Holiday Tradition Digital Papers from Graciellie Design on a white cardstock.
I use the mini hoop to trace the circle on the printed paper and then I cut it with scissors.
I added it on the hoop with permanent dries-clear glue and I added couple clear stamping blocks to hold it down until the glue completely dry.
I scribble some of the Tim Holtz Gold Distress Crayon at all the side of the hoop and use my finger to blend it creating that gold shadow on the paper.
I added the poinsettia cone bouquet on the hoop with the permanent dries-clear glue and let it dried.
And then I printed the sentiment from the Dreaming of Christmas Digital Stamp on a white cardstock, added it on the hoop with the same permanent glue, and then trimmed off the extra paper.
I added some of the Tim Holtz Gold Distress Crayon on the sentiment edges and then blended it with finger.
I added some of the natural burlap twine on the hoop screw and it is done. I hope you all like this project. I will make more with other digital stamps for gifts.
