Stamptramp: 12 Days of Ornaments

Hi all! Hope you're having a great weekend so far. Today's ornament is a fairly quick and easy project - nice at this time of year. A few months ago I found some cedar paper wrappers at Tuesday Morning. They are meant to be used to wrap salmon for grilling, but I had a feeling they'd be better used for stamping! I found them yesterday in a pile I was going through and thought I'd experiment today. Read below to see what I came up with!

Begin by cutting one oval from a cedar sheet (or other wood paper) and one oval from medium weight chipboard. Stamp the elk image from Artistic Outpost's Midwinter stamp set onto the cedar oval using black StazOn ink. Let dry, then adhere the cedar oval to the chipboard.

Ink the edges of the ornament with Gathered Twigs Distress ink. Stamp the sentiment (also from AO's Midwinter set) using red pigment ink. Immediately emboss with Fired Brick Distress embossing powder.

Using hot glue, adhere a length of Pine Twine to the edge of the ornament. Drill a hole in the top to tie the hanger through. To finish the ornament, tie with jute string and some rusty jingle bells.

Fast and easy - right? I think these would make gorgeous gift tags as well. I would love to do a series with various nature images. So simple yet so beautiful!
