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! :)

A "Merry Christmas" Card by Gerry van Gent


Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!
Today I have another card to share with you using
two of the NEW Brenda Walton seasonal dies.
657900 Sizzix Big Shot Machine
658739 Sizzix Bigz Die Reindeer
658739 Sizzix Bigz Die Snowflake Medallions, 3-D
658506 Sizzix Sizzlits Dies Vintage Doily
*  *  *
This time I decided to use fabric on my card. To have a
strong base I die-cut the reindeer from corrugated cardboard.
I also die cut the reindeer from white cardstock so I can use
part of it as a shadow.

After die-cutting the reindeer from fabric I adhered it by using Fabric Mod Podge.
Then I added a another layer of Fabric Mod Podge on top. 
Once it was dry I added my last layer of paint - Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.

The die-cut border you see above the title was die-cut from  the
Snowflake Medallions - the smaller one.
N.B. I used only the top part!
The reindeer was decorated with Pearl drops, charm and small Vintage Doily.
I used white gel pen to paint the eye. 


OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:
Webster's Pages - "A Botanical Christmas" collection
Webster's Pages - "Waiting for Santa" collection

Deze keer heb ik voor mijn kaart stof gebruikt.
Om het rendier wat steviger te maken heb ik golfkarton gebruikt.
Ik heb ook het rendier uit wit karton gestanst om 
als een schaduw te gebruiken .
*  *  * 
De stof rendier heb ik met Fabric Mod Podge geplakt en 
daarna heb ik nog een laagje Fabric Mod Podge aangebracht.
Toen het eenmaal gedroogd was heb ik een laagje verf aangebracht -
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.

Ik heb de rand uit de kleiner Snowflake Medallions gestanst.

Het rendier was versierd met Pearl drops, charm en de klein Vintage Doily.
Voor de oog heb ik een witte gel pen gebruikt.

Have a creative weekend with our products!
