Today I am sharing the cards made for the October Christmas Stampathon where our theme is ‘tree decorations’ and luckily enough I have just got the Hang and Ornament stamp set and Dies and have used them to make my cards.

Colours in these cards are:

To recreate the hang an ornament card, you will need:

Card Base – I chose Real Red and Pretty Peacock – 2 of each
Matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Real Red and Pretty Peacock – 2 of each
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Season of Elegance dsp – 5¼” by 1”
Real Red and Pretty Peacock strips – ⅜” wide and a minimum of 4” long – 2 of each

I embossed the panels of 5¼” by 3½” Basic White card using the Distressed Tiles Embossing Folder. These panels were the adhered to the Real Red or Pretty Peacock matting panels and then to the Real Red or Pretty Peacock card bases. The red with the peacock base and the peacock with the red bases.

The strip of Season of Elegance dsp was then glued to the card fronts.

The baubles were stamped in Real Red and Pretty Peacock, 4 of each, 2 for each card. I also die cut the bauble tops from scraps of Gold Foil which I glued to the top of the baubles. The baubles were added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto each of the ⅜” strips of card. I covered the stamping with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my heat tool. I flagged the ends before adding them to the card fronts.
