Festive Friday Hop

Hi, welcomed to another Festive Friday Hop!!

If you got here from Chris Hurley's blog at http://www.stinkydogdesigns.blogspot.com/ , you are in the right place - however make sure you started over at Terri's blog http://www.terrisproul.blogspot.com/

I like to give out other items in place of cards sometimes, or a card that can be an ornament.  I love working with polymer clay and decided to make ornament tags to give out to my family for this year's Christmas celebration.  I took some wood tags and just covered with different colors of clay, then I made my own little flowers from clay, added some  flat back crystals as centers and baked them, added some wire for a hanger with beads strung on the wire at the base of the hanger.  The St. Michael tag was done with  liquid clay to transfer the image.  I've done two and have lots more to do, some will have a greeting added in the open area, some will have images, and others will remain open for the recipient to add a photo.



I hope you like these, and now I ask you to please check out Laura's blog http://www.lauraleesdream.blogspot.com/ to see what great project she has done for us to enjoy.

Till next week's hop - keep on crafting......

    Hi Lyneen,thanks for stopping by - I'm thinking on tracing the center and the tag onto card stock - once I'm done making the greeting out of the card stock I can go ahead and cut it out and mod podge to the back of the tag - at least that is what I have in mind now.

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension.

Handmade Holiday Ornament Swap with Charity Wings

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID   SCULPEY .   I used several Viva

Welcome to another great Festive Friday Hop, our host is Terri Sproul - make sure to start by visiting Terri’s blog      http://www.terrisproul.blogspot.com This Hop takes place every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month (except for December) – it’s a way to make our Christmas Cards early and come December we’ll be ready to share with all our friends and family. This is my card for this week.   My last card I used rub-ons, this time I decided to go with stamps.  I got some new paints at CHA last week and decided to give them a try along with a couple of markers.  let me know what you think.  Now my camera works, but my cable doesn't so I had to use my son's camera and well the photos are not very good, but if I can borrow a camera at work later on, I will try and replace them, for now I hope these photos are clear enough.  I really liked this card, and I think I'm going to try stamping a little bit more in the future.  Well thank you for stopping
