For as long as I can remember we have had a tradition in our family to give each other a Christmas ornament before Christmas so we can enjoy it throughout the holidays. For my project I created a Christmas ornament that I will be giving to my mom. My mom loves cardinals so I knew I wanted to use the
Christmas Treasures stamp set from
JustRite to create a Christmas ornament for her. There is a beautiful image of a cardinal by a bird house in this set. Here is a picture of the entire stamp set.

Here is a close-up of the image with the cardinal and the sentiment.

I found this cute little cone shaped tin ornament and and picked up a few pine sprigs, pine cones, berries and a bird. Now you don't have to know anything about floral design to create this, it's very easy! You just need a few of these supplies and a glue gun.

To start cut a piece of floral foam and glue inside the cone.

Next take the pine sprigs, pine cone, berries and bird and fill in the cone and set aside. Then I stamped the image of the cardinal from the Christmas Treasures stamp set and colored the image with Copics and then cut out the image.

I also stamped the image on another piece of cardstock and colored a little of the image so when the two images are layered the bottom layer will appear to be colored too.

Next I used the Standard Circles Large S4-114 die templates from Spellbinders to cut/emboss a circle. Before removing from the die template I inked the inside edges.

Then I layered the colored image using foam squares to add some dimension.

I added a craft stick to the backside of the diecut so I would be able to add it into the arrangement in the ornament.

Here is the finished Christmas ornament.

I also added some liquid applique' and red stickles to the image, pine cones and berries.
