Christmas Wreath with Ornaments and Glitter!

Today I want to share with you my Christmas Wreath for this year. It is a take on the Christmas Bulb Wreath, and glitter of course.

I have made a bulb wreath, and homemade glittered ornaments but I hadn't made a glittered ornament wreath. So now is the perfect time!

Products used:
#280 Lime Rind, Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
#128 Quark, Ultrafine Opaque Hologram
#291 Fire Engine, Ultrafine Opaque
#175 Retro Red, Ultrafine Pearlescent
#84 Shiney Si, Ultrafine Opaque
#282 Night Vision, Ultrafine Opaque
Pledge Future Shine Floor Cleaner
Clear Glass Ornaments
Wire wreath
Hot Glue
Ribbon
Small funnel or paper funnel

To start you need to make the ornaments, and they are super simple.

I started with the clear ornaments. I took off the top, squirted in the floor cleaner, swished it around, and dumped it out.

Then I took a small funnel and poured in the glitter. I shook it around until the entire inside of the ornament was covered in glitter, then dumped out the excess glitter.

I repeated this step of all 24 large ornaments. I used six different colors; two greens (Lime Rind, Quark), two reds (Fire Engine, Retro Red), and two silvers (Shiney Si, Night Vision).

After the ornaments were finished, I hot glued them to them to the wire wreath and wrapped with ribbon.

 

I hope you enjoyed this fun project I made, be sure to stop by my blog, oneheartscrapper, to see how the different kinds of glitter look in each of the bulbs! I was totally surprised on how some of them turned out, they look AWESOME!

Happy Glittering!

Globecraft and Art Glitter Cross Promotion with Linda Neff

This month Art Glitter has teamed up with Globecraft Memories to see what kind of projects the design team members could create using both company's products. I had fun working on this Easel Card from Globecraft Memories. The card has the easel built right in so the recipient can easily display it. I chose to trace, cut and cover my Easel Card with Bazzill Basics paper. It's adhered by running the papers through my Xyron 5" Creative Station. After adhering the paper I inked all the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The Bingo Card is paper from Teresa Collins. I pulled out a doily and brushed it with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive (DDCA) and sprinkled with No. 132 Saddlebag Opaque Ultrafine Glitter and tapped off excess. A heart cut from corrugated cardboard is run through a Xyron 2.5" Create-a-Sticker, some of the adhesive is rubbed away and then sprinkled with No. 524 Tree Bark Microfine Transparent Glitter. Layers of die-cut flowers are inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink then DDCA applied to the edges and dipped in No. 524 Microfine Transparent Glitter as
well.

I used Globecraft Memories Piccolo Card Decor Vintage Birdcage Charms and enameled one of the charms with Globecraft Memories Piccolo Vintage Copper Enamel Powder. I experimented with painting the charm with Pitch Black Adirondack Paint Dabber in between layers of the enamel. I like the finished results.

The card is assembled by adhering the doily to the Easel Card then I added the Bingo card on top of that. I wrapped a ribbon around the heart and tied in a bow. The flower and the birdcage are layered and adhered to the heart then it's all added to the Bingo card. To add even more "bling" there are some swirl pearls from Want2Scrap. The stamped phrase - "sing your song" is added for the sentiment.
Now tell me you wouldn't be thrilled to receive a card like this from a friend! Visit my blog for even more glittery ideas!
