New Toy...New Ornaments

I splurged and bought myself one of Martha Stewart's new score boards...and have been happily testing it out!  It's pretty fun and I'm enjoying a new craft.

I've tried to make these sort of ornaments before, but was never that successful at it....found the cardstock to difficult to manipulate  and time-consuming to score at each crease--too much work for a not-so-good outcome.  Working with thinner paper turned out to tear a lot and make a not-so-sturdy end product.  Like Goldilocks....these turned out "just right"! 

I have made them in 3 colors so far....Pink Peace

Green Holly



Rustic Red

They measure about 5" across--so they would work nicely on the tree or also hanging on a mantle or doorway!

Available to ship immediately--from my Etsy shop!

They're all just gorgeous! So Victorian!
Way to go, sticking with it 'til it works out. Looks like it was worth it!

These look wonderful--love the colors. I agree about the card stock being too stiff. I made some of these last year, and will use paper in the future.

Oh those are adorable, and brave you picking a Martha thing out. I get overwhelmed at her section in Michael's and pick something boring and safe like ink pads.

Lovely ornaments! It's amazing what can be done with paper.

I ordered and received one of the peace ornaments along with some other goodies and I can tell you the pictures don't do them justice. The peace ornament is gorgeous and you've done them so well. I have always been more than pleased with everything I've ever ordered from you, you are so talented. Thanks
