Every year, I make some handmade ornaments to give out to my family and friends. This week I made these Buffalo-checked deer ornaments using Peaceful Prints designer papers that were in the summer's Sale-a-Bration catalog. I bought the punch that coordinates with the deer and put these together. I got the idea from one of my stampers, Melissa McClellan.
To give to my daughter, I made a set of three of these ornaments. I used coasters for the base, trimmed them and rounded the corners and then added the designer papers. They measure approximately 4 x 2 3/4 inches.
Here is the third one. I cut out the snowflakes from the designer paper by hand. Then I added some red twine and rhinestones for embellishments. The tree is from In the Pines set and the sayings are from various Christmas stamp sets. I also added some washi tape on the edges and a tag topper from the Tailer Made Tag die cuts.
I decorated the backs of each of the ornaments, as well, using some more sayings and snowflakes.
I love how they came out. I originally wanted to make more of these, but they were a bit more labor intense that I thought they would be when I got started!
My daughter will love them and perhaps when I have a bit more time, I will make more of these. I can imagine them in different colored papers with snowmen,, Santa or other holiday images.
I love them as a set - kind of like a Trio of Tags for the tree. :)
