Home for the Holidays Ornament

Instructions:
Finished size of ornament is 4 1/2” wide by 4 1/4” tall by 1/2” deep.
For my ornament I created a small shadow box with chipboard, slightly bigger than the stamped image. You can also use a small box for this step. Pick your favorite image from the patterned paper for the inside scene, cut to fit box, cut coordinating paper for inside and outside of box, glue paper to chipboard and cover all sides of box.
Attach beads with flat head pins to box. Add ribbon to the jingle bells and attach as pictured.
Stamp scene from ‘Home for the Holidays’ set 6 times on white cardstock with black memento ink. Cut all images with coordinating die. Now, depending on how many layers you want to create on the scene, you can just use the dies and cut those images or you can also use scissors and cut apart the scene to layer and create more depth like I did on my project. Once all pieces are cut, color with color pencils. Layer all pieces to create a dimensional scene as pictured, glue to shadow box with foam dots.
Stamp poinsettias, leaves, branches, cardinals, berries on white cardstock with respective colors, cut with coordinating dies. Color all images and shape.
Add stamens to poinsettias as pictured. Glue poinsettia, leaves, branches and all other pieces as pictured. Glue arrangement to shadow box with hot glue, add a couple of branches to back side to cover hot glue. Add frosting powder to scene where desired for sparkle, add frosting powder to edge of shadow box as pictured.
