Christmas Ornaments and Tag

Hi Guys,

This is Swati Gupta here. I hope you are enjoying this festive season.

Today I have 2 Christmas ornaments and 1 tag tutorial for you.

For the Ornaments, we are using an Alcohol ink medium and Mudra stamps.

Ornament 1:

Have you ever stamper or heat embossed on an Acrylic sheet?? If not this is a fun tutorial to try this technique.

1. Take any Acrylic surface. I am using Circle shape transparent Acrylic surface. here.
2. Drill a hole on it to make space to thread your twine to hang the ornament.
3. Use any brand of Alcohol inks and make patterns. Here I have used the closest colors to Red and Green and made an abstract pattern using Alcohol inks.
4. Now take the Mudra stamp set Believe in Christmas 3×2 and stamp it using some Versamark Embossing ink for HEat embossing.
5. Now pour white embossing powder on top of the stamped image and set it with a heat gun.
6. Post that clean the upper area with some tissue.
7. Use a strong twine to tie the ornament to a tree and our ornament is done here.

Ornament 2:

1. Take any Acrylic surface. I am using Circle shape transparent Acrylic surface. here.
2. Drill a hole on it to make space to thread your twine to hang the ornament.
3. Use any brand of Alcohol inks and paint the scene as you want. I have used a blue color to represent the sky and White ink to represent snow. Let it dry completely.
4. Then I stamped the Gingerbread house from Mudra Stamps – Christmas Cookies 4×4 on a watercolor paper and colored it using Watercolor markers.
5. Then I Fussy cut the image. and stuck it using some strong glue on the ornament.
6. Then I used the sentiment from the same sentiment and stamped it using some permanent ink.
7. Use a strong twine to tie the ornament to a tree and our ornament is done here. 

Tag:

1. On white cardstock I used Mudra Stencil – Snowflake diamond pattern 6×6 and ink blended a pink shade to make the pattern.
2. Then I used a scalloped frame die and die cut the frame as well as the insert.
3. Then I stamped the image of the line of critters from the Mudra Stamps – Christmas Critter 4×4 and colored only the elephant.
4. Then I fussy cut the elephant image.
5. Now I  took the Mudra stamp set Believe in Christmas 3×2 and stamped it using some Versamark Embossing ink for Heat embossing.
6. Now pour Green embossing powder on top of the stamped image and set it with a heat gun.
7. Then I cut a white cardstock of the same size as the die-cut frame and stuck all the pieces together as shown in the pic below.
8. Use twine for the tag and our tag is completed.

Do try these techniques and share them with us.
