I need ornament ideas.

[lesliemommy]

I am in an ornament swap. I want to stamp mine somehow.

any ideas on ornaments that have to be shipped in the mail.

I have done the ones with glass balls, reinkers and dazzling diamonds.

Anything else?

polyshrink or sculpey clay? Do the ornaments have to be kind of permanent? If not, you could use 1/8 sheet cardstock or vellum to make sour cream containers with a hershey kiss in them.

Saw a swap at convention - hopefully I'm telling this right. She had a christmas stocking - I believe - that was actually a pin, but what she did would hold out for an ornament. She stamped 3 of the image, cut them each out. Colored one and layered them together with glue. Because the glue made the card stock damp, she was able to curve it a little - put some shape to it. Then she used crystal effects over the top layer and it looked and felt pretty solid - not like card stock. Don't know if I've given the instructions right, but it is an idea to play with. Also, if you know how to origami an ornament - a box or other shape that is hollow in the middle, you could use vellum CS and stamp it and then design it to have a christmas tree light fit inside to add extra GLOW. Good luck, let us know what you come up with!
