Shamrock Wreath

 Here is my latest and greatest door wreath.

made of the new wreath toole, various ribbons, tutu toole, heart shaped

 wire wreaths and wooden letters

To make the Kiss Me Words on this wreath. I both a medium K and M

and smaller i, s, and e wood letters from hobby lobby.

To decorate your letters:

Turn the letter upside down onto the decorative paper you want to use.

Trace around the letter

 Here is what it will look like once you have traced and cut the letter out.

Before I decoupaged the scrapbook paper onto the letters I painted the

 tops and sides of each letter in brown (any paint will work). 

 They are now all decoupaged and looking stylin.

But I didn't stop there. I took the same brown paint from above.

grabbed a sponge brush lightly dipped it into the paint and tapped it onto the

side of the letters to make it look a bit rustic/steampunkish.

To make the frame for my 3 leaf clover. I found 3 small wire heart shaped

wreaths from hobby lobby. I placed them as pictured below and 

then took ribbon and tied the wreaths together. 

Now that you have your base frame. Add tools, ribbon and all the fixings. 

Have fun and be creative!!!

Monogram Christmas Ornament

I am so excited to finally be able to use some of my Tim Holtz Grunge Packs. These packs hold either a page with each letter of the alphabet or each number 0-9 and some fun shapes. They also come with different textures embedded into the top of them. The ones I am playing with today are just smooth. The fun thing about his grunge product is that it is as thick but can be twisted, scruntched and still keep it's form. 

So today I am making a Monogram Christmas Ornament for my tree. 

I Chose and H for my last name. I thought the top right H would be the coolest to work with.

Now that I picked my Letter I grabbed some of my Luminarte in Red. You can use regular paint or whatever you have on hand. 

I think dabbed red on the top of the H, let it dry and then covered the back. Make sure you also get the sides. 

I decided that I would like to put a little embellishment on my H and chose Holly & Berries. So I took a piece of the scrap grunge and outlined 2 leaves and a couple berries with black marker. (if you are nervous about the black marker, start out with pencil until you end up with a design you like, then outline it with black marker.

This is what they looked like once they were cut out. I did 2 berries together and 1 by itself. I did this because I want to layer my berries for an awesome 3-D look.

Taking some green shimmer metallic green paint. Again you can use whatever paint you like.

and I also grabbed some coppery/gold beads from Martha Stewart.

I painted the berries cranberry red, leaves green then added some clear glue to the top of the berries and added the gold beads.

After layering the leaves and berries onto the H.

Add some ribbon so you can hang it and there you go.. you have a personalized monogram ornament.
