New Holiday Ornaments Gift House Artwork & SALE!

Filed under Christmas, Gifts/Decorations, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Shadowbox/Room Box

There’s a new Flying Santa Attic Silhouette for the House Shaped Shadowbox with Cover and Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist made a great gift with both of them called Santa’s Coming Tonight.

Beside a miniature scene on the bottom floor (inside the house… many more pics are below), she turned the top floor into a storage area for full-size ornaments (as gifts for the recipient to put on their own tree). Clever!

Here’s a bit of the text from Rhonda’s blog post:

There are three different sizes of ornaments used in the project. Tiny Ornament Frame Sets, 25mm Ornament frame Sets, and Small Ornament Frame Sets. Those last ones are my favorite because you can use the Small Clear Plastic Round Domes and add small items that can move around inside like 5mm White Snowflakes or Polymer Clay Slices.

AND there are 2 new ornament sets that Rhonda also used (the smaller as decor downstairs and the larger as part of the full size ornaments): 1 Inch Cookie Cutter Ornaments and 3 Inch Cookie Cutter Ornaments (more into about them farther below).
 


 

Nice! The photo at right is showing the inside of the house without the cover (see the first wide photo below for the cover hinged on, AND how the front door can open to show a preview of Santa in the chimney).

Speaking of chimney, that’s the Fireplace Overmantel (that Rhonda used as a shorter fireplace than the Shallow 3D Fireplace it was made to sit on). That Santa image is from the Hanging by the Chimney with Care Collage Sheet.

There’s all kinds of colorful Christmas decor around that fireplace:
Box of Christmas Decorations
1 Inch Decorated Green 3D Tree
1 Inch Christmas Gnome
Mini Box of Christmas Ornaments
Tiny Red & Green Resin Wrapped Christmas Gifts
8mm Resin Christmas Cookies and Brass Starburst Charm (decorations on the 4″ tree)

AND at the top of the “bottom floor” (above and behind the tree and fireplace): more info about that strip of light color paper from A Vintage Christmas 6×6 Paper Pad with tiny ornaments on it (bracketed by 2 strips of gold Dresden trim) in the next section…
 


 

New Cookie Cutter Ornaments

Aw… sweet (!) new sets of 2-layer ornaments. 1 Inch Cookie Cutter Ornaments and 3 Inch Cookie Cutter Ornaments both include a stocking, snowman, gingerbread man and Christmas tree shapes (each with a hole at top for hanging).

Rhonda used the larger ones as some of the full-size ornaments (the stocking is highlighted in the wide photo below — decorated with vintge buttons and clock parts, plus more of the 8mm Resin Christmas Cookies also used on the tree). That Santa image is from the Elves in Santa’s Workshop Collage Sheet.

The smaller set of cookie cutter ornaments are interspersed with Tiny Ornament Frame Sets on the strip above/behind the fireplace. Most of the images in all the tiny ornaments are from the Round Pendants Christmas Collage Sheet.
 


 

There’s a pic with all the gift ornaments spread out. All use papers from A Vintage Christmas 6×6 Paper Pad plus lots of ribbons & bows (and candy canes, pine fern, pine cones…).

The non-cookie cutter shapes are from the Small Ornament Frame Sets (star, round and bauble shapes). Shaker items inside the domes are 5mm White Snowflakes, Hello Christmas Polymer Clay Slice Mix, and Red & Green Peppermint Candy Polymer Clay Slices.

A few more collage sheet sources for these ornaments:
Gnomes & Birds Collage Sheet
Retro Snowmen for Medium Tins Half Sheet
Gnome Home Collage Sheet
Christmas Trees Collage Sheet
