Ornaments ~ Designer Creations Mini Frames

December 3, 2015 by

Have you seen the adorable Mini Frames in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book??  These are adorable frames which can not only be used in you scrapbook layouts but can also be used at gifts.  If you look on page 32 you can see how they show the frames as ornaments.  I love this idea and sold them at the craft fair and plan to give them as gifts.  They are fabulous as they hold a 2″ x 3″ photo.

Pine Cone Ornaments

November 5, 2015 by

I have been making a lot of ornaments for the Craft Fair this month.  I love making these pine cones.  I made large ones last year which I display as part of my fall home decor.  You can find the link HERE.  I also made these pine cone ornaments last year but I don’t think I blogged about them.  Here are this years creations.

White Pines ~ Pinecones ~ CatScrapbooking.comDon’t you just love these?  I am sure you are now asking the question how can I make these… am I right?  Well let me tell you.  First you will need to start with these Styrofoam eggs 2 1/2″ X 1 7/8″.Eggs for Pinecones ~ CatScrapbooking.comYou will need lots of strait pins.  Then cut the paper you wish to use into 7/8″ x 7/8″ squares.  Then fold two corners in to make a point.  Next you will overlap the squares, refer to THIS LINK as I shows how to assemble and overlap squares.White Pines ~ Pinecones Ornament ~ CatScrapbooking.com~I cut the holly leaves with a SVG file on my Silhouette.  I found the holly at Hobby Lobby and it adds a nice dimension to the ornament.  I used hot glue to attach the ribbon, holly and leaves.

Happy Crafting!
