Last season I created ornament cards to send for
Christmas and it was so much fun.
This season I am doing a few more and
thought I would share the how to once again.
Hope you enjoy this re-post!
Christmas and it was so much fun.

This ornament basically is a sheet music fan background
with snowflake center,
greeting graphic added to the middle,
glittered tinsel edge
and a message on the backside.
These are the supplies you will need:
1. Sheet music graphic and snow scene graphic
both from The Graphics Fairy.
2. Round wood disc to glue the graphic on
with mod podge.
3. White glittered snowflake
found at any craft shop.
4. Winter style card stock for
backside message.
5. Snowflake stickers or whatever
you choose to accent the back message.
6. Blue distress ink with sponge applicator
to ink the edge of the wood disc.
7.Circles template for making round circles.
8.Ribbon for hanging.
9.Fancy cut scissors for back message edge
and regular scissors for cutting graphics.
10. Hot glue gun.
11. Glitter or Fairy Dust.
12.Sharpie pen for writing message.
You will need 2 copies of the sheet music in the 8x10 size.
Next, fold into a fan shape for both.
Fold each fan sheet in half after folding and glue in place.
Hot glue both halves together to form
one circle with the two fans.
Next, add the graphic greeting to the wood disc
with mod podge,
ink the edge with distress ink and glue on the white snowflake.
Glitter the snow scene using mod podge
and fairy dust or glitter.
Add the snowflake to the center of the fan circle.
Now add the tinsel ribbon to the edge
with hot glue.
For the message on the backside,
cut a round circle using a template
and cut around with fancy scissors if you choose.
Add the circle to the backside with hot glue
and embellish with glittered snowflake stickers
or any accent of your choice.
Lastly cut 12" white or any color thin ribbon
(for the hanger)
to coordinate with your ornament.
Hot glue in place between the folds at the top.
Now your ornament card is complete
and ready to mail using a padded envelope.
It will be so pretty on the Christmas tree
and a special memory for the receiver to
enjoy for years to come.
That's it,
Christmas Card Ornaments.
Thanks for stopping by.
~~See you next time~~

Celeste, I wish we lived next door to one another. I learn so much from you! Thank you for sharing this post. I won't be doing it this year, but you've given me an idea for a few special cards in the years to come.

What a lovely ideas, Celeste! I know the recipients were thrilled to receive these! Thank you for sharing such a lovely ideas!
You always have the BEST ideas!! These are precious!
So pretty! I'm horrible at making those little sheet music fans. =( No matter how I try, they always come out crooked. Sigh! You've inspired me to try again. =)

I remember this post from last year when I fell in love with your greeting card ornament! I love the pretty photo you chose for the front of the card, and the tinsel ribbon adds such festive holiday sparkle! Where did you buy the tinsel ribbon?

Celeste,
Is there no end to your wonderful imagination? Love this idea. John and I used to own a greeting card business, I designed and John handled the manufacturing. Every year since then we hand create individual cards to send to friends and family....hmmm thanks my sweet friend for posting your beautiful cards and filling my head with inspiration. Enjoy your creative day in Santa's workshop.
xoxo,
Vera
What a sweet idea! Love it :-)
Iso love the music sheets and the tinsle here! I had much fun yhis weekend playing with tinsel and other paper materials...great ideas my friend!
That's so pretty. I love all the different ways these can be made. Have a great week friend!

This is a beautiful idea! Hugs, Valerie

Hi Celeste,

Oh my, this is a beautiful craft idea! I don't think mine would look nearly as gorgeous as yours, but I think it would be much fun to create! Thank you for sharing your good ideas with us! Hugs to you.
That's a beautiful idea. I've seen so many alternatives to mailing Christmas cards on blogs today. I bet your friends and family really enjoyed their handmade ornaments.
HI Celeste! Oh, this is just beautiful and doesn't seem too hard! You are the most creative one and your handwriting is simply gorgeous, my dear! Now if I only had the time and energy, this would be a great project for Carter and me. And...if you added a ribbon loop you could use it as a decoration! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Just beautiful! I'm thinking how I could do this for my book club friends with old book pages rather than sheet music. and with quotes from books in the center. Hmmm . . . you have me thinking and plotting :)
Thank you for the lovely inspiration! Have a good day Celeste.
Hi Celestina Marie! Beautiful ornament!
Love this idea Celeste my friend....thanks for sharing it again with us ;-)

These are stunning Celeste. So sweet of you to share how you made them too. Big hugs, ~Diane
I have no idea where you get your energy to make cards! i am already decorating because it takes us so long to finish, plus bring up the Christmas china, clean, shop, wrap, bake cookies and get ready to entertain on Christmas Eve!
Please tell me your secret to keep going and not stopping! If I could have half of your drive, I would be in Heaven!!
Oh..wow! I love your project, very clever idea. I' ll try to do it. Thanks for sharing this fairy job. I like very much your attention for the details, they are so pretty.

Celestina, that is just beautiful. I am obsessed with making those pinwheels. I've made them for the 4th of July and a few for Christmas. I love the way you have finished yours off, they look like such an old-fashioned ornament. Just beautiful..Happy Monday..Judy
Very pretty, Celeste! It is so funny that you posted this - I was just looking at your post from last year (that I had pinned) over the weekend trying to get myself motivated to craft something.
Just stunning Celestina, thanks for the lovely tutorial.
