Christmas Cards With Matching Ornaments.

I just love these hang tags and yesterday while watching the old classic, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" (I LOVE old black and white movies and I can look at Cary Grant all day) I made some Christmas cards with matching ornaments using this file.
 

 

You get 3 of each tag for a total of 9 tags and you can print as many as you need.

 



 

The ornaments are all double sided with a piece of lightweight chipboard in between them. I punched a hole in the top of each ornament and added a piece of twine for hanging on the tree. I also added a jewel on the bottom of each tag.



 

 
 

 



For each of the cards I added a piece of ribbon with an enamel dot. The tags are adhered with foam pads. I used my corner chomper on the corners.
 
When I put these cards in the mail, each card will have it's matching tag inside.
 
Very quick, easy and cute cards and ornaments whipped up in a short time.
 
 

Magnets/Ornaments using Bottle Cap Image Inserts

Today I had the pleasure of using Fall Leaves Two Bottle Cap Image Inserts, these are very, very easy to work with. 

 Link to file 

You get 36 bottle cap inserts, 6 of each design. I made all of these and have a full row of 6 left. I also had some boo-boos, some trial and error items.
 
First I made some magnets.
 
 

Printable adhered to inside of bottle cap.

 

Printable adhered to outside of bottle cap.

 

Doubled up bottle caps.

A 1" circle punch is perfect for cutting these out. Since I can't find my 1" circle punch I just cut them out freehand, it didn't take long at all. I inked my edges then glued to the bottle caps.
 



Inner and outer.
 

The images seemed to want to curl up a bit on the outer edges so I weighted them down with magnets.

 

 

After the images are totally dry turn the bottle caps over and glue the magnets onto the opposite sides that the images are on.

 

The double sided magnets were made very similar to the ornaments, minus the alpaca wool for hanging and the additional image on the other side.

 

 

 I used my glue gun to attach the wool to the bottle caps, making sure to pile up enough hot glue to attach an additional bottle cap to the backside, insides matching.

 

 



Can you see the bit of a ridge behind the bottle cap? That is the other side, both sides are showing red when you turn them around. I did both the ornaments and double sided magnets this way.
