SSS Peace on Earth Holiday Messages Ornament

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp



I've got one more project to share with the Peace on Earth release.  Ironically this was the first idea I had when I got the release, and somehow it didn't end up getting created until now.

I love having little tags on hand for the holidays, and these ornaments from the Holiday Messages Ornament set are the perfect size.  

I started by cutting a piece of cardstock 4" x 8 1/2", scoring it lengthwise at 2" and folding it in half.  Then I die cut the tags by using the round ornament die, but placing one end off the edge of the cardstock at the fold so it is still connected at the top.


After creating several of these little circle tags, I inked them on both sides with Distress ink using Salty Ocean, Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, and Evergreen Bough.  When inking, I left the center a little less inked/brighter to give a bit of dimension.

The sentiments were then stamped on each with Versafine.


To finish things off, I die cut the ornament tops from Matte Silver cardstock, using two for each ornament.  One was adhered to the front and one to the back for a more finished look.  This also makes the tag stronger.


A bit of twine was the final touch.

These are super easy and I love the size, perfect for your smaller gift bags.
