Little Blue House 12 Days of Ornaments: Day 6

Welcome back - We are half way through the twelve days!  Elaine here, and I hope you have been inspired to create along with us. Today's ornament will look great on your tree or you could also use as a tag on a gift. The ornament is a ticket with a clear window with a beautiful reindeer and tree. I call it the Golden Ticket Ornament! You could also mount a favorite photo behind the acrylic and preserve a special Christmas memory.

  Here are the supplies you will need...

 

1 sheet of chipboard
Printed paper for back of ticket
6"x 6" double sided printed papr for tree
Several shades of green cardstock and dark brown cardstock
2 small jingle bells
4 5/8" x 3 1/8" piece of acrylic
Script Stamp
Gold Halo Glitter
White and Bleached Sand acrylic pint
Glossy Accents
Diamond and Rock Candy Stickles
Cristal Craft Twinkle Glaze
Pinecone and Twig Distress Ink and blending tool
6" piece of ribbon for hanger
36" piece of gold thread & 2" piece of gold trim
Mini 8 Craft Punch
Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight Die and Pinecone Die
Embossing Folder & Cuttlebug
Pop Dots
Bronze & Brass Distress Stain 

 First cut a 3 1/2"ticket from chipboard - I used Fabulous Finds Cricut cartridge.  Also cut  a 1 1/4" star. You will also need to cut printed paper for the back of the ticket. Die cut reindeer from chip board.

  Paint star, reindeer and ticket with Bleached Sand Paint.

After paint is dry apply metallic stains.  Gold to the Star and ticket and Bronze to the reindeer.

Apply Glossy accents to the star and coat with glitter. Put a light coat of paint on the stamp and stamp on the reindeer. Let Dry.

Using the Mini 8 Punch from WR Memory Keepers punch the 6x6 paper into a circle.  You can also use any 6" decorative circle. Ink the paper on both sides - I used Peeled Paint and Pine Needle.  Also ink over the stamp on the reindeer and the edges of the ticket. You can see how the ink transforms the paper.

Cut the circle in half.  The first fold is abot a third of the way up the straight edge.

Now fold that piece back to straight edge to form a cone shape.

Fold the large piece back so straight edges match up and you have a tree shape.

Paint the Cristal Twinkle Glaze onto the front of the tree.

Add the glitter star to the top of the tree.  Apply trim to the reindeer neck.  Make bow from gold thread. Thread jingle bells onto piece of thread and tie around center of bow.

Die cut 2 pinecones and 5 pieces of greenery from die.  Also cut out 3 holly leaves.  You can use a die , Cricut or free hand these.  Ink Greenery with Pine Needle ink and a little Twig ink. Form pinecones.  If you have not used this die there is a video on the Tim Holtz blog or  YouTube that tells you how to make them.  Apply a little white paint to the edges to look like snow.

Emboss the acrylic and attach to the back of the chip board ticket.  Place the printed paper ticket over the top of the acrylic.  Apply Diamond stickes to the embossed area.

Glue the ribbon hanger to the top center of ticket.
Attach reindeer with pop dot.  Glue tree in place. Glue greenery and pinecones in place

Here is another picture of the finished tag.
