Jolly Snowman Ornaments

Happy Holidays! After making a gift tag, I decided that I needed to get a bit more creative and make one a cute Christmas ornament. So to my Cricut I went with my Speaking of Winter cartridge.
And now, that I think about it...it can be a gift tag and then even be used as a personalized ornament! How cool is that?!
I cut some 4" by 4" snowflakes (used 2-3 depending on how thick you'd like it..the thicker, the less fragile it will be). Then I used a 2" circle punch and punched out 2 patterned papers as well as a white. (The white one I dot embossed then cut to look like snow hills.) I then stamped a few HERO ART snowmen on white paper, minus the face so I could use cute Peachy Keen faces. After that, I ran the snowmen through my cuttlebug machine with my snowman die. Stamped a word on one of the patterned circles (this is where you could use a name instead). I then glued the piecestogether, and colored them with my Copics, used an orange Glaze Pen on the nose. Faux stiching around the edges of the circles with a white pen. Added some snowballs and stickles. Tied with ribbon and made a bow. Viola! I hope you like them. I'm going to enter them in this weeks Peachy Keen contest. Until next time...
