3D Ornament - Hand Stamped Sentiment #273

The ornament I made by altering a mini Pizza Box was inspired by Monica Gales here.  I use the Hearts Come Home bundle. After making a couple of these ornaments, I decided to make this part of my "Ornaments and Tags" class this past week.  The students were absolutely delighted!!

I also decided to submit these ornaments for the Inspiration Challenge at  Hand Stamped Sentiments

A brayer was used to apply Pool Party ink to the entire front of the "matte" side of the unformed Pizza box.

Then using the largest of the Layering Square Framelits, an aperture was die cut in the lid.  The scallop square die cut (the art piece) was used to build the village on.

Before building the village, snowflakes were white embossed on the sky followed by application of Marina Mist ink with a brayer.  A paper towel wiped over the snowflakes revealed their presence in the sky

Using thick Whisper White, the silhouette of the village houses was die cut.  The house at the end was "cut off" the end.  It would be placed in the upper part of the art piece.

The houses were coloured with Stempin' Blendabilities and then covered with Dazzling Diamonds.  Love all that glitter.

Before mounting the houses, some Daffodil Delight was placed behind them to give an illusion that someone was home. I used the new adhesive sheets to adhere the Daffodil Delight to the back of the houses.

Using dimensionals - and in some instances - double dimensionals, the houses were added onto the art piece.  The art piece was then adhered to the inside of the box using dimensionals.  After the art piece was firmly in place, the pizza box was now formed. I filled in the bottom of the box with texture paste covered generously with Dazzling Diamonds.  This gave the illusion of snow.

Double sided tape helped to adhere Powder Pink ribbon around the outside of the box.  Using a hot glue gun a pine sprig was added, followed by a mini ornament.  A bow, make with the same ribbon, was adhered behind the sprig followed by a silver tag twine. Some texture paste was also added to the pine sprig.

Hearts Come Home Pizza Box Christmas Ornament - a case

When I saw this on Pinterest I thought "What a neat idea".  This ornament, was made by Monica Gale here using a Mini Pizza Box.

Although I used a lot of her ideas I did change up a few things.

I started  by sponging the open pizza box lid in Pool Party, and then die cut an aperture in it using the scallop square of the Layering Square framelits.

The die cut images were built on the scallop cut out.

After the houses were die cut, I coloured them with the new blendabilities and applied dazzling diamonds to the roofs and bases of the houses. To make the houses look like the lights were on, I placed some gold foil behind each house.

The house at the end was cut off from the strip and added in the middle and above the other houses. All were added using dimensionals.

The art piece was then added to the inside of the box using dimensionals, and the box was closed.

Above is a close up of the art piece after I adhered it to the inside of the box.

To fill in the space at the front of the box I added some embossing paste and added dazzling diamonds on top of that.

To finish off the ornament, I wrapped the box with  1/2" Powder Pink ribbon and tied it in a bow at  the top.  I added a green pine sprig and a mini ornament tied with silver trim.  I also added some embossing paste to the pine branch.
