*************************************************************************************

 I am truly obsessed with outline stickers. There's so many ways to create a wow card with them. My favorite brand is Elizabeth Crafts peel-off stickers. The project I have for you today uses Jackie's Christmas Dolls  with a twist. I have taken my obsession to 3D projects! I already used the actual peel-off. These ornaments were made using the "innies" or what is left over once the peel-off is removed!! These stickers are inexpensive an it makes it so much more affordable when you can use very single piece of the sheet. No sticker left behind!! That's what I always say....LOL.

The surface of the ornament is smaller than the peel-off so I traced the ornament face on a piece of transfer tape and cut it out. I placed the cut out on top of the sticker sheet and trimmed the sticker to fit. I peeled off the transfer tape from the backing and heavily burnished the innies design using a bone folder. Then I lifted the design from the backing sheet as one unit. Then I applied it to the flat faced ornaments from Walmart (also seen at Hobby Lobby). Since the ornament is pliable, I burnished with my fingernail until I could remove the transfer tape leaving the design on the ornament. If any overhangs, just stick it down over the edge of the ornament face.

Each ornament is filled with different items. The top one is filled with glitter spiral floral decorating sticks. I trimmed the spiral part off and pushed it into the ball. The other two were glittered on the inside using glitter it and craft glitter. My favorite is the silver glitter by Stickles. They have dry glitter in all the colors that they have in the regular glitter glue. It's not see through like the american crafts glitter (see pink ornament). All were adorned with Christmas ribbon from American Crafts. 


I just love how they came out and it was such as easy application for the wow factor. I cannot wait to see how these will look on the tree. Thanks for hopping by! Come back tomorrow for a brand new project from me!

    How Mr Benjamin Lee service  grant me a loan!!!

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on { Lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
