Grace commented the other day on these about different colored glitter. I pulled out some gold. I also had a small tube of blue that I didn't think would be enough so I mixed it with a little bit of silver glitter.
Here's all three of them together. This time around I increased the size of the wording a little and I think I like that better. I also thought a nativity scene would look nice on the blue. I probably could have made that one just a little bigger too.
Another thing I'm thinking of doing is covering the edge of the grey lid on the bottom with some ribbon. I'm not real crazy about the gray.
I'm really liking the look of the blue. I think I'm going to have to pick up some more blue glitter. After I stuck the vinyl down on this one I realized I had it bit crooked. It seems no matter how hard I try to get things straight I always end up with it a bit wonky. Maybe I should call myself the wonky crafter.
I also have some small round clear plastic ornaments and I think I'll glitter some of those and maybe add either a name or a single word like JOY or NOEL
I love it when the crafting bug hits me.
Love the gold! With the darker glitter, like the blue, how would a white vinyl decoration look?
ReplyDeleteI like the gold too. I know the white does look nice on darker colors. I'll give that a try on the next set I make
DeleteThese are gorgeous! And this kind of glitter is so much more elegant than the regular kind. I cannot pick a favorite,I love them all.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The glitter is really quite nice
DeleteOh wow Ann these are adorable,beautiful work my friend xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I am having fun making them
DeleteNice! For yourself buy some pine garland, hang these ornaments with candles & trim your home for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a nice idea. I'll have to shop for pine garland. I have some but it's getting rather old and shabby
Deletethe bug has bitten you, craft on. my favorite is the blue and I agree the larger words are better and that ribbon would be perfect on the lids.
ReplyDeleteIt sure has. I think it's because I really do enjoy making Christmas crafts.
DeleteBeautiful, Ann. These are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Thank you
DeleteI love those! I have been itching to do some Christmas crafts. I have a ton of Christmas cards that I've saved over the years and I have been checking Pinterest for ideas of what to do with them! They are too pretty to throw away!
ReplyDeleteDoing the Christmas crafts has really got me going. My crafting has been a bit sluggish this year so I'm having a lot of fun
DeleteI LOVE these...the blue is my favorite. Even with the wonkiness...which I would not have noticed if you had not mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! I like the blue but they all look great! I need to get bit by that crafty bug over here.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm happy that I'm finally in the mood again to make things.

Thank you. The little jars are a plastic ornament that I bought at the dollar store They come clear so that you can decorate them however you want
DeleteI too love it when the craft bug hits me, but I think at this point, it needs to hit me hard! I need the paint bug to hit me and soon. If I don't get in the mood then there will be NO card this yr. Keep on keeping on....those look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy doing things like this and I hate when I feel like I want to but can't get myself to do anything
DeleteWow, these are really nice. I like the blue one the best. I am crocheting snowflakes and angels. ;-) Happy Crafting ~ FlowerLady
ReplyDeleteno, no, no, you've the unique with style and creative crafter...they look fabulous
ReplyDeleteWell thank you
DeleteI love them so much. I agree, the nativity with the blue is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous, but for some reason I especially love the nativity scene. I'm so glad you are having fun doing them.
