New Christmas Ornaments

NEW Ornament Frame Set Kit
This kit includes a new chipboard ornament set (a simple set of a front piece with a window and a flat back with a scalloped edge — both with a hole for hanging). I designed this year’s ornament to have space for decorating (around the edges of the main image you put in the center).
Plus 12 mini papers with zippy Christmas prints, star sequins, ribbons for decorating or hanging AND a new collage sheet with fun images for the center.
Beside the 2-layer, Round Ornament Frame Set (exclusive to this kit), this kit contains:
Collage Sheet:
– Retro Xmas Round Ornaments Collage Sheet (Wow! There is so much mid-century cute here you may faint!)
Scrapbook Paper:
– TWELVE 6″ x 6″ double-sided papers — one each of all the patterns in the Vintage Christmas 6×6 Paper Pad.
Trims:
– SIX yards of ribbons (a subset of a new ribbon set linked below)
– 2.5mm Multicolor Star Sequins (A bunch of tiny stars in a cute little plastic “tin”. The lid screws on so you (hopefully) won’t end up with stars all over the floor.)
Check out our collection of collage sheets with 2-1/2″ round designs that fit all 3 of the new ornament frame sets.
Artwork! See the first wide photo below for an adorable snowman ornament by Teri Calia (with the central image coming from the Retro Xmas Round Ornaments Collage Sheet)! Teri used the Ornament Frame Set – Bauble as her starting point, added papers from the Tim Holtz Christmas 8×8 Paper Stash, tons of snowflake and star embellishments, and made some little drippy snowdrifts with a Dimensional Snow Writer. More info and photos in Teri’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies (that’s for 2 ornaments… more on that 2nd one in a sec).
More info about the new kit is on the Ornament Frame Set Kit page.
More Artwork! Santa and Snowman Ornaments (see the second wide photo below) are by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel! So bright and cheery! Kristin used the Ornament Frame Set – Star and Ornament Frame Set – Round as the base of her projects, with lots of papers and ribbons from the kit. Plus she shows how to use Dresden border strips (straight) around a curve (like the turquoise scallops around the center of the snowman ornament). More info in the Kristin’s blog post. Here’s Kristin’s supply list so you can see all the extra trims Kristin added.

Wow! I love everything about this ornament by Teri Calia! Teri started with the new kit (for the chipboard frame set, the green ribbon, and the central Santa image (and the “Santa Claus” banner underneath).
Here are a couple more things Teri added:
– Rusty Star Ornament Set (a nice contrast with all the sparkle)
– Tiny White Snowflake Buttons (bunches of snowflakes!)
– Holiday Disguises Collage Sheet (that Santa hat over on the right side of the ornament almost looks like a 3D felt hat!)
Note: Although not used in Teri’s ornament, the Silly Snowmen Ornaments Half Sheet is another cute option that fits the ornament frames!
Each year, think you won’t be able to top the previous ornament kit, and each year I’m wrong! LOVE this so very much, thank you!
I would love the Santa themed goodies. I’ve been in love with vintage Christmas forever it seems.
Retro Santa checking his list.
Oh and Santa, of course!
I love vintage Christmas!
Snowman would be used first. So sad that Halloween will be gone soon, but looking forward to all the great Christmas ideas to come!
These ornaments are soooo cute! I would have a hard time choosing from the Silly Snowpeople, they are all too adorable, but I like the one with the snowman holding the lantern. Congrats to Verna!!
i love snowmen the best! they would definatly be used first!
I don’t know which I would use first because they are all delightful and fun! If I really have to choose a first one I guess it would be the Snowman. He is quite cute and. I wouldn’t want himto melt before you go get him on paper for all time!
Congratulations Verna on winning the Ghoul Manor Giveaway! Enjoy!
TFS!
I would use Santa first! Love that ornament by Teri Calia. I’ve also been looking for those snowflake buttons! I received a few in a supplies swap a few years ago and needed more for a project I have in mind!
This kit is spectacular. I would love to do an ornament for our Mixed Media Christmas swap party.
I love both but if I did have to chose I would say snowmen. After all they can stay displayed all winter season and coming from New England that can sometimes feel like an eternity.
Snowmen first!
Yay Christmas! I’d definitely make the snowman ⛄️ so cute!
Santa for the win!
Hip Hip Hooray! Christmas goodies!!! I’d definitely make snowman ornaments…so cute!!!
I would do Santa first, but snowmen aren’t far behind! Love them both! I also really like the Antiqued Anatomy Tags, and that you used real looking skeletons and not the cutesy ones.
Love the retro look of the snowman and he would be my first one. However, Santa would not be far behind!
Love the ornaments! Love the vintage Santas!
These ornaments are delightful. Love anything Santa.
I really love the old fashioned Santa! Of course, the snowmen are super cute also! 🙂
The first image I would use is from the extra. It’s he one the
snowman holding a lantern and the snow lady
holding a wrapped gift.
I love the adorable snowmen the best. Adorable!
WOW! I just discovered Alpha Stamps today! I’ve been looking around for the past hour! I would definitely use Santa first! I am already ordering some of your 12 Days of Christmas collage sheets! I love the store!
I’d make a snowman…especially the one with female and male snowmen
I would make an ornament with the vintage snowman theme. Adorable.
I love Santa! So I would make an ornament with Santa image first. But those snowmen are so cute I would make an ornament with them second! LOL
Defintely the retro look with Santa!
I will use the snowman couple holding a lantern and a cane. Love the retro Christmas theme!
I’d have to go with the Santa Claus first and then a little snowman but they’re both great
I love the retro Santa! Love that cherry face!
I love vintage Christmas!!! The snowmen are adorable 🙂
These ornaments would make great greeting cards as well! I’d love to win this one!!! Hugs, cat
Snowing at my house. Nature must know that Christmas is on its way. The ornaments are adorable. Thanks for the chance to win. Hate that Halloween’s almost gone though.
Santa or Snowmen . . . Santa or Snowmen
I will have to go with Snowmen!
Snowmen !☃️⛄️☃️⛄️☃️ Love them!
Both are cute, but I guess Santa. Congrats Verna. Welcome Karen! I found this site not long ago and love it also. I would order every time if I could, so much fun and creativity here.
Snowmen are my favorite in particular the one with the bird perched on his hand.
I love Teri’s Santa! But I love snowmen too. The one with the birds I might have to use first. This is what I have been waiting for!! Great fun giveaway!! Thanks!
I love all the Santa’s! What a fun giveaway!
I’ve been a fan of your site for many years and it’s my favourite inspiration spot for atc and cards. These ornaments looks so fun and would love to win a kit. Thank you
I would love to start with the Santa’s.
I am going to start with the snowmen. They are my favorite! Love these ornaments!
They are both adorable but the snowmen win by a nose.
I love Christmas, and Santa, but think I would go with the snowman first, because I love them too!
I love the vintage Santa!
Hooray for Christmas! time to start making ornaments!
