Layers of Color's Ornament Blog Hop and Tutorial

Welcome to the Layers of Color's Ornament Blog Hop. The LOC team, along with some dear friends, has put together this hop to get your creative juices going to make hand crafted holiday ornaments.

I love making hand made ornaments and I almost always put family photos on them. Here is one side view. I used one of the sentiments from the Glad Tidings clear art stamp set. I also used the Spellbinders Labels 16, Picot Edge Circles and Fancy Tags 2 dies on it. The papers are Pink Paislee.

The tutorial for this ornament is below.

As with any hop, there are freebies and giveaways:

FREE Ornament Templates,

FREE Vintage Roses Ornament Tutorial, and

6 drawings for a $20 Layers of Color Gift Certificate, hidden somewhere among these designers' blogs, so make sure you leave a comment as you hop along!

I love my ScorPal when making handmade ornaments!

Ooops, there's a typo! That should say, "Tie a knot on ONE end."

LOC Sneak Peek: Glory to God

Today's card uses another set that Layers of Color will release on Monday, Sept 19th. This set is called Glad Tidings. Laura and I worked together on this set. Don't you just love those birds? And the font are so elegant and vintage. I die cut the stamped image with Spellbinders Circle Nesties and Eyelet Circle dies. I cut out the two birds after I colored them with Copics. The papers are Graphic 45's Christmas Past.

Please come back on Monday for Layers of Color's release blog hop. There will giveaways and lots of inspiration. The Layers of Color Facebook Page is also having a special giveaway when they reach 300 fans. Go "like" them and tell them I sent you!

I still have a few stamps left in my Stamp Sale. I only remove them when they're sold. Many of these items are pending, but they stay on the list until I get payment. Please note that the Bonus (buy 4, get 5th free) applies to both TAC and non-TAC, but the free has to be non-TAC stamps. Thank you!
