This All Is Bright Christmas Ornament Card actually sends an ornament to the recipient! Maybe it is just a little paper ornament attached to the front of this card, but you never know! Someone might be happy to save it and hang it on their tree next year! I remember growing up we knew a couple who were very wealthy and their Christmas card always had something on it that could be saved as an ornament! It was a very expensive card!
My card is not very expensive but I think it does have a rich look to it! I turned the greeting into an ornament by leaving it unattached from the card and adhering a ribbon to it which is tucked in over the top edge of the card layer. If a person wanted to, they could tear open that top part of the card and remove the ribbon from the back…..or they could simply cut off the ribbon at the top of the card and separate it from the card like that.
The card base is Whisper White cardstock with a layer of Gold Glimmer Paper. If you want to save a bit of the glimmer paper, cut out the center portion, essentially making a frame of gold glimmer to adhere to the Whisper White card base. Just make sure you make it wide enough! Nobody will ever know! Then I layered on a piece of the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper with the pretty ornaments. On a scrap piece of Whisper White, I stamped the images from the stamp set Making Christmas Bright in Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder using the Heat Tool. This is punched out with the 2″ Circle Punch even though it is a close fit, and then layered on a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper punched out with the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch. The beautiful ribbon is the Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon. The bow is tied and attached separately and held in place with several Glue Dots.
Take a look at another card I made using this ornament pattern from the All Is Bright DSP.
If you don’t want the “free-swinging” ornament, then just tack it down with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. See if you can think of another card design that would leave the recipient with an ornament to be saved! It’s time to have fun making these special Christmas cards for friends and loved ones!
