Glittery Fun for the Holidays - Layered Christmas Ornaments

I love glitter at Christmas time. It's on the fun picks I stick in my Christmas Tree and on many of my store bought ornaments, so naturally I need to add some to ornaments I choose to make along the way.

Here are a few of my hand-made layered, glittery ornaments 
using rubber stamps and Art Institute Glitter.

Layered Poinsettia Ornament
This medallion ornament is made of multiple layers that have been heat embossed with gold embossing powder, trimmed, glittered and layered to produce this final piece. Stamp for medallion is made by Holly Berry House Rubber Stamps - Glitter is by Art Institute Glitter
Tip - For me the key to working glitter projects like this one with ease is
the glue and tip from Art Institute.

 
 Instructions for creating the Poinsettia ornament above
This was the instruction sheet I got when I purchased my stamp, it was a
bit hard to follow but I finally figured it all out.


Layered Glitter Ornament
 This ornament was created by stamping the full image 3 times and heat embossed with silver powder. Stamped twice on mint green cardstock and once on pale yellow.  Then the images were trimmed so they could be layered one on top of the other to create this finished image. Before being assembled each layer was glittered using glue, glue tip and glitters from Art Institute Glitter.

 Another Layered Ornament
This was created using the same similar steps from above.
Glittered using glue, glue tip and glitters from Art Institute Glitter.

This Medallion is #1625


 Glittered Frame Ornament
You don't have to layer the stamps if you don't want to, for this ornament I heat embossed only one stamping of the image, glittered and cut out the center to add a photo of my kitty "Sherlock".

Removable Ornament on Christmas Card
I enjoy creating cards where the main image is also a gift.
This card front has a removable Santa Christmas Tree Ornament.
It is attached with removable tape and the gold thread hanger is tucked behind Santa.
Santa is surrounded by layered, glittered poinsettias and there is also a bit
of glitter on Santa's costume and gloves.

Stamp is Poinsettia Santa #1599 T

I hope this inspires some of you to drag out the glitter and add some sparkle to your holidays.

Grins, Giggles and Glitter,
