Ornament Mojo

Happy Monday to you!  This morning I decided to break out my Holiday Ornaments Framelits and More Merry Messages for the Mojo Monday Challenge.  The sketch for today is a straightforward one that got me stamping right away.  I hope you love the design!

Creative Tips –

• I wanted to emboss my ornament and run it through the Big Shot, so I cut the ornament shape using my framelits.  This set has a matching stamp set too – Ornament Keepsakes.  I embossed the ornament with the Chevron Embossing Folder, and lightly rubbed Versamark on the raised chevron lines to add gold embossing powder to it.  I love the end result – it really looks like an ornament!  To finish that off, I added a touch of our Brushed Gold  Card Stock for the top.
• I wanted to add a little flair to the ornament, so I used some Linen Thread for a fun little accent behind the ornament. 
• To add a subtle accent under the ornament, I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to add some simple stripes. 
• A Chevron Punch made perfect banner flags for the greeting and accent banner.
• For a little finishing touch, some Pearl Basic Jewels give just a little something to the card along with a little decorative Paper Piercing in a few spots.

It’s a simple little card, but captures the spirit of the holidays.  For some quick, easy and straightforward Christmas Cards, use the Ornament Keepsakes and More Merry Messages stamp sets.  Both can be found online only and not in any catalog – so you’d easily miss them.  I’ve made several easy and great looking card with both sets.  You can’t go wrong with them!
