This Wallet Sized Frame Ornament is perfect for decorating your tree, wall hooks, bulletin boards, and more! It is a quick and easy decoration that looks great against your Christmas tree, across walls, table fronts, entryways, and more! Such a great way to show off your favorite people or pets! Each frame is approximately 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" and holds a standard wallet sized photo (2-1/2" x 3-1/2"). The file comes with the photo frame and an insert (in case you want to mat smaller images, or use it to hand write a message!) and is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats. The frames have a fold over tab with a 1/4" hole so twine/ribbon can easily be attached and a little tab at the bottom to tuck the bottom of the photo into so it will stay in place while hanging. You can use with or without the snowflake.
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out your frame, fold on the score lines, and add adhesive to the side tab and the top tab. Tie your ribbon or twine through the hole for hanging.
2. Fold the open frame piece over, tucking the side tab in and bringing the top tab down. Adhere all in place. Insert photo or insert provided through the open bottom then tuck it into the little tab so it remains in place.
3. Adhere the snowflake in place if desired and hang!
These new Wrap Boxes are so much fun! I love the simple look and all the space they have to stuff items in! The finished project is approximately 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and comes with all the paper elements shown. The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats. You can find a full tutorial and additional images on my blog: https://jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2017/11/holiday-wrap-boxes.html
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out all your pieces. Fold the tabs up on the score lines and add adhesive. Assemble the ornament together. Adhere the mat to the center of the wrap portion of the box.
2. Adhere the wrap sides to the two base tabs.
3. Adhere one side to the center tab. Place adhesive along the bottom (like where the center tab touches) and up the wrap edge as shown. Place adhesive on the inside of the other wrap edge.
4. Adhere the wrap sides together.
5. Add ribbon/twine as desired. Place foam adhesive on the center front.
6. Adhere the assembled ornament in place.
This ornament comes sized to fit both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats but can be made larger or smaller to fit your needs. You can use the pieces together or separately to make different sizes of ornaments! These would even be cute to hang on gift bags and wrapped packages!
1. Cut out all your pieces. For each arm, you will need 3 additional arm pieces. Fold the arm pieces in half and place adhesive on their back. Adhere one side of one arm down to match the rounds on one half of the arm so that you have the other half sticking up.
2. Grab your second arm and adhere it down to the opposite side so now you have two arms sticking up as shown in the image.
3. The third arm will lay on top of the other two as shown.
4. Repeat the above steps until you have all 8 arms completed.
5. Next grab your rectangle piece and accordion fold. Join the two ends together with a strong adhesive (such as hot glue) to form a circle. Press down in the circle to fan it out. Adhere to the smaller circle, again using a strong adhesive.
6. Adhere the accordion piece in the center of the snowflake using foam adhesive.
7. Adhere the large snowflake in the center, again using foam adhesive.
8. Next adhere the final small snowflake in the center!
These bags are approximately 6" x 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" which makes them perfect for holding larger items and lots and lots of candy! The box can be used without the Holiday design and the Holiday label design can be used on its own as well as an embellishment for a card or layout! The design is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.

For my Homemade Holiday Gift I decided to create a glitter ornament for Hannah's cheer coach!
I started with a clear glass ornament and used Minwax Polycrylic inside the ornament and rolled it around to cover then added glitter. The glitter sticks to the protective finish from the Polycrylic! If you haven't tried one, they are lots of fun...
AND
Samantha just so happens to have several ornament boxes to gift your ornament in!
I am using this one:
She also has these:
Here is a look at my project:
I used vinyl to cut the coach in two colors and layered it on top of each other and then did the same with the megaphone and year. I cut circles from three vinyl colors and randomly layered those on the ornament as well. You can find the bow for the box HERE.
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out the box pieces and fold on the score lines.
2. Add adhesive to the side tab and adhere the box sides together.
3. Push your large flap down on the bottom then bring the side in and tuck under.
4. Tuck the large tab in the bottom.
5. Your box will look like this now.
6. Set your ornament on the shelf.
7. Place the ornament in the box. Put the second shelf in to hold it in place.
8. Close the box lid.
9. Add in your box and embellish as desired!
These make such fun gifts!
