Christmas Medallion Ornament


Hi Everyone! This is Anna.
Today I made this decorative medallion. It's ornament! It's a very satisfying, relatively simple project and super charming. The ornament is a big ornament, about a 16 cm diameter...

This would be the perfect gift for friends or anyone else on your list ;)
Let me show you how it’s done!
 
Items used:
white cardstock
floral patterned paper: My Mind's Eye - Miss Caroline Howdy Doody - Like Wildflower
glitter paper, red and green: (DCWV - The Christmas & Winter Combo Glitter Cardstock Matstack)
red polka dot fabric
harness bell
green ribbon
bakery twine red and white
pom pom
needle and thread
glue, hot glue
 
I used the Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflake Medallions, 3-D (658739) to cut the medallion from the patterned paper, and assembled it per the instructions; then attached it with hot glue as well.
Embellish with fabric rosette, flower star, snowflake, twine, ribbon, harness bell, pom pom...
I used a small hole in the top of the ornament to tie a piece of twine through it for hanging.
 
I hope you can try this easy project, and do please attempt your own variation. Who knows what kind of masterpiece you will come up with? :)

Flag_of_Italy Per le amiche italiane! :)
Ciao! Ecco un nuovo appuntamento con Anna.
Oggi vi mostro un nuovo home decor: un “medaglione” decorativo. E' una decorazione natalizia, di circa 16 cm di diametro, per cui può andare bene anche come fuoriporta, ma se lo immaginate con altre carte e colori potrà essere adatta per qualunque festa od occasione.
E' un progetto che dà molta soddisfazione, perchè è relativamente semplice da fare, ma di un certo effetto.
Potrebbe essere il regalo perfetto per le amiche o per chiunque altro avete sulla vostra lista dei regali natalizi ;) 
Lasciate quindi che vi mostri come si fa...
 
Materiali:
cartoncino bianco
carta fantasia: My Mind's Eye - Miss Caroline Howdy Doody - Like Wildflower
carta glitter, rosso e verde: (DCWV - The Christmas & Winter Combo Glitter Cardstock Matstack)
tessuto a pois rossi
campanellino
nastro verde
spago rosso e bianco
pom pom
ago e filo
colla, colla a caldo
 
Procedimento:
Ho usato la fustella Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflake Medallions, 3-D (658739) per tagliare il medaglione dalla carta fantasia, assemblato secondo le istruzioni, poi incollato con la colla a caldo.
Abbellire con: coccarda di stoffa, fiore a stella, fiocco di neve... Ho aggiunto una scritta stampata e tagliata come un festone.
Ho usato uno dei fori nella parte superiore per far passare un pezzo di spago per appendere la decorazione. Per finire ho aggiunto nastro, campanellino e pom pom.

Spero che possiate trovare una piccola ispirazione in questo semplice progetto, cercando di realizzare la vostra variante personale. Chissà che capolavori usciranno fuori! :)

Winter is Coming... - Winter Gift Bag - with Thinlits!


Hi, it's my turn to take over the blog again!
As people say, Winter is Coming...



Although I'm not a huge fan of preparing for Christmas so early or creating in "traditional Christmas colours" I'm ready to take a challenge and create something in a bit Winter mood... Ready?
So, having Winter on my mind - let me start with delicate, faded colours - cold greens, blues, snowflake cut-outs (great Sizzix Thinlits - Christmas (659010)), big Prima flower and metal embellishments (ok, I know I'm addicted!) to finish with a bit of veil, some crystals, vintage buttons and pins and a piece of natural canvas. I was really having great time constructing this multi-layered composition on the top of this little paper gift bag!




All the papers I've used are from my new A4 Vintage Vanity Journaling Pad from Prima and all the metal elements are "Mechanicals" - my trinkets and caps from Prima. To get extra dimension I used some 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. 



And here are the links to the Sizzix Dies I used for this project - with white cardstock and Prima for cutting out the elements:
- Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Christmas (659010)
- Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Medallions (658339) 

I hope you are keeping yourself warm in this cold season - and find some time for creativity!
See you soon!
