Chalkboard Christmas Gift tags / Ornaments

Sorry for so many posts at one time….but I am finally catching up on posting some of the projects I completed in December.  I made these lil chalkboard tags or you can even use them as ornaments for my co-workers this year.  I found my inspiration on Pinterest and they were super easy.  I bought some wood pieces and the spray chalk paint at Michaels.  I do recommend you looking for pieces that either don’t have a tag stuck on the back, it was very difficult to remove that tag.  I spray painted both sides.  Then I used a white paint marker to decorate the tag and put a personal msg on the back.  Once all that was dry I added some red ribbon I already had along with some snowflake stickers and bling.  Love them!!!

Bottle Cap Necklaces

I finally made these!!! I have been wanting to try to make these and I thought it was going to be so difficult but it really wasn’t.  I used already painted black bottle caps from Hobby Lobby, Tim Holtz jump rings, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, Martha Stewart circle punch and my own clipart.  After the Dimensional Magic dried I punched a hole with my Crop a Dile and added the jump ring along with a chain I also bought at Hobby Lobby.  I really liked the finished product. 

Christmas Ornament Frame

This is the gift I made for our Stampin Up Christmas gift exchange.  I used the ornament punch, the current Christmas paper pack from SU and several holiday greeting stamps from SU, gumball green paper SU, gold embossing powder SU and gumball green ribbon satin stitched SU.  This was pretty simple to do…I took a plain canvas painted it with a light solid color, punched out ornaments from a gold paper, punched out ornaments from the SU paper pack then I put it all together.  I have a separate piece of paper for the bottom part which I embossed before adhering it to the canvas.  I then added ribbon and the bow.  Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Cards

Made these birthday cards for our Dec and June (half birthday) birthdays.  A fun and easy way to use banners and the decorative punch from Stampin Up. 

Office Wall Art

I took an old cheap canvas that had a painting on it that I really didn’t care for and turned it into my own wall art.  I have a large empty wall space in my office and decided to deco some paper and add a key cut out of vinyl.  I really like it!  It was a real inexpensive way to decorate.  I added a few elements that I truly love in life, like the bird, hearts, yellow roses, being a Texan, Hope, balloons, and the key.  I can’t wait to hang it up on Monday!
