Christmas Ornaments

Make your own Christmas ornaments and add them to your handmade Christmas cards as part of the design. Recipients of your Christmas cards will love them.

They can detach them from the cards and hang them up on their Christmas trees. Below are some ornaments created by members of Making Greeting Cards group.

Christmas Ornaments Challenge Cards

There are three Ornament Cards showcased below. All are beautiful creations by passionate card-makers who love the craft of card-making and have been spending most of their leisure time creating homemade greeting cards for family and friends.

Have a look at these time-consuming masterpieces…

Notes : Here’s an ornament created with images of a snowman and Santa Claus. Inside the oval are loose micro beads which make a sound when shaken.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Is Santa sitting on the snow or are those his mittens? Love this festive card so much. So much work and attention put into this greeting card; embossing, colouring and the shaker card technique so well executed. What a fun card!

Snowflake Ornament Christmas Greeting Card

Comment : red card, heat embossed snowflake & greetings

Created by : Valerie Smith – Canada

Note : Snowflake Ornament detached from the bright red card front. Notice that Valerie also stamped the same snowflake image onto the card front and embossed it in white like the Season’s Greetings and Happy Holidays greetings so that when the ornament is removed, the Christmas greeting card still looks complete.

The dark green ribbon completed this lovely greeting card and also served as an anchor to attach the ornament to the card.

Comment  : heat embossed two snowflakes, added sparkles, chalked background

Notes: Here’s a round ornament created by Ying from Malaysia.

Love this circle card ornament. It will be a beautiful one to hang on any Christmas tree. Love the dark festive red colour of the card stock used and the gold string as well as the touch of gold on the poinsettia flower, gold dotted background and on the greetings and snowflake. A traditional red, green and gold theme. Lovely, Ying Pang!

Thank you to all three ladies for participating in this fun challenge.
