My project today features the Flourishes “All That Glitters” set. The stamp I chose to play with is the beautiful bird ornament image.
Because of the delicate detailing on the different ornament images in this set, I think they are very flexible as to how you can use them. Here I have simply stamped and heat embossed in gold on red card stock. But these images could completely lend themselves to coloring from just a little to as elaborate as one desired.
At Christmastime gift wrapping at our house generally takes place in the room where all of the ribbons, bows, tags and wrapping papers are stored. I thought that it would be fun to have a warning for the door for those times when everyone really must stay out!
Now that my youngest is 17, something like this might actually work! I wouldn’t have counted on it years ago, though. In fact this would have probably had just the opposite effect! “Oh look, Mom’s wrapping our gifts. Let’s go help” *chuckle*
To start I used Mod Podge on a chipboard door hanger. I adhered this GORGEOUS Glittering Christmas paper to the hanger and then Mod Podged again right over the top of it. The result was wonderful because the glitter still showed, but it was now permanently sealed to the paper instead of getting all over everything everywhere!
I used my Circle and Scalloped Circle Die Cut Nestabilities to cut and make the holly and scalloped rings around the hole for the door handle. The holly ring image is from the new JustRite “Christmas Stamp Ensemble”. The lettering is from two different JustRite Fonts “Curlz” 50 pt. size and “Times Roman” 50 and 95 pt. size. May Arts velvet ribbon and lots of Kaiser rhinestones along with some gold cording and a miniature bow (store bought.. sh-h-h-h-h don’t tell anyone) finish out the project.
Oh yes and the box… I made the box with PTI white card stock and adhered strips of the Glittering Christmas paper to the top and sides. I love this little functional box. It measures approximately 1-1/2″ X 2-1/2″ and is the same-ish size as the metal tag/frame on my yesterday’s “Sleigh Ride” card. I am putting together a template and tutorial for it and hope to have it ready to share in a few days.

This is SO clever, Susan!!! …GORGEOUS too! I’m gonna have to make one of these to keep my dh out when I’m wrapping! lol
WOW, you are pretty amazing. Such creativity!
LOVE this Susan!! I actually said — oh no she didn’t! That’s my way of saying – OH MY! Too creative! She did it again! LOL! I think this would be such a fun, fun, fun project!
I saw this on SCS and just LOVED it!!! What a clever idea and so cute!!! I really want to make my own now, ever year I am yelling at someone for walking in on me while wrapping. 🙂
WOW that is gorgeous and sooo creative, love it Susan!
Wow…your door hanger is so awesome, Susan!! What a fantastic Idea, and it’s so pretty too!!
Fantastic door hanger, Rainy! So many details. I keep looking at it and finding another cool part I hadn’t seen before.
Hugs and smiles
Sometimes you just blow me away with the beautiful things you create! Today, another one! WOW – this is so pretty – and a much nicer way to keep intruders out as opposed to yelling “Don’t come in here, I’m wrapping!” LOL That beautiful bird – oh my!!! You just gave me a whole new idea for using the Christmas ensemble – {hugs} 🙂
What a great idea to make a door hanger! Love the words! Bird is gorgeous! Very elegant and delicate! Embossing really brings it up! I am amazed of the little tiny box you made! Beautiful project!
This is beautiful. What a wonderful set of stamps. Love your outstanding door hanger.
What a totally fabulous idea, Susan! I just LOVE this! It’s so cute and surely it will be effective. A great decoration that’s functional, as well. The details are all so fun, pretty and festive. Love the decorated scallop ring and all the rhinestones, the bird, the little box–gosh, everything is great!
My son used to fake barge in when I was wrapping presents. He’d swing the door wide open and barge into the room, talking like he had something important to tell me and pretending like he didn’t know I was in there wrapping presents. He’d give me such a start and I’d throw my arms over whatever I was wrapping, but when I looked up he’d have his eyes squeezed tightly shut. He never looked one time–just did it to give Mom a hard time. Funny guy!
What wonderful projects, Susan….love the door hanger!! I ordered that stamp set today…can’t wait to get it in my hot little hands!!!
Susan, what a cool idea! I love it and I would so liked to have had one of these when my children were small. They are both grown and out of the house now, but this would work for my grandchildren, huh? This is so cool and I love all the details that you put into your hanger!
Susan, I do the same thing! My guest bedroom in converted into the gift wrapping room. I definitely need to make a door tag like this! It’s gorgeous!
