ornament

It is so fun to craft for the holidays. This ornament is a beautiful addition to your tree but would also make a great hostess gift for those holiday parties you are invited to attend. You could stylize the surface design to suit the receiver.

Hi, I am Janet from Try it – Like it – Create it, and I created this free SVG file to share with you as a part of the CutCardStock design team. Do you love working with SVG files? As a graphic designer, I love creating SVG files, and I will be sharing projects, including SVG files, with you twice a month.  

card stock

The card stock used for the ornament is Bonsai and is weighted at 80# cover. CutCardStock has a ton of different colors to choose from.

finished texture

I chose to create a design on the surface of the card stock. I began by stamping, then color smooching, and finally ended by spraying with shimmer spray.

I cut nine ornament shapes from the 8.5″ x 11″ page. Each piece then got folded in half along the score line.

The pieces were glued together with twine added for hanging. A pearl bead was added to the top and a DIY tassel to the bottom for embellishment.

Please visit me at Try it – Like it – Create it to download the free SVG file and to see a video tutorial for the construction. Ornament (available 11/5)
