Ornaments in Gift Box

 At my STARZ meeting this past weekend, LaRee brought me this wonderful ornament in a gift box.  Each year for Christmas LaRee has made me a Stampin' Up! ornament for my tree and I love them each year. 

This year she made me three and packaged them in this die cut box.  She used Stampin' Up! Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper to create these ornaments. 

The first one is created by punching out several ornament punches from the flocked papers and gluing them together to create a 3-d form.  She added a bow accent. 

The second one is created like the pumpkins we did several years ago.  You feed strips of paper onto one of the hat pins from the Pretties Kit forming a ball shape and then add smaller strips for the 2nd ball shape.  She finished the ornament off with pearls and beads from the pretties kit. 

The third ornament is created with the scallop die and then create a medallion using a couple scallop circles and attaching that to the die cut outs. 

I love this little gift.  My Christmas tree is filled with handmade ornaments.  When Ted and I first got married we did not have extra money for tree ornaments.  I spent many hours stitching ornaments and Ted and I created all handmade ornaments from scraps of fabric that first Christmas and a tradition was born.  We have added at least one handmade ornament design to our tree each year.
