Challenge Thirty-Three: Glitter Christmas Ornaments by CaseysAngel

crsntn

Made these for my Five grands and they loved them.

lexpmill

Those are wonderful. I am thinking of doing some for my grandchildren and was wondering what font you used. It's so hard to find a font that will cut well with vinyl. Once again...great job!

Awesome job... has anyone used a glitter other then the MS brand, if so what kind? TIA

kristy

Thanks Bryan, will post it........here you go........

HELLLLLLP Please...
I am new to MTC an for the life of me I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong but when I open the boxes that are in the first post the openeings overlap an I end up with a bunch of messed up cuts and no box. When I open the file posted by K_lee there is nothing on the page but the tab has the file name on it.
I am going crazy (crazier than usual) trting t figure this out.

Hi Kristy. I just checked the posted files. There are multiple pieces, so they have added them as layers. Off to the right of the screen, you should see the separate layers. You open/close the eyes as needed to print the different parts.
Often, people lock the layers as well, and it is in this area that you can unlock them.

Hi Kristy, mine was in 3.0 version, just redone in 2.32 will post it........the green is the whole box and the red is the holder for the bulb, one for top and one for the bottom.......hope this helps you.......this one is for the smaller bulbs also, 1 3/4 inch size

Great Job everybody. Love these and love the boxes Bryan created. Thank you Bryan! :-D

Here are my 3 with the boxes. The green volleyball one is for my DD. The purple one is for me! :-( and haven't decided on the gold one yet! LOL

Wow, awesome Bulbs Ladies, I will make some with my grandchildren. Thank you for the video.

Lexpmill the font I used was the same one used by Bryan on his. It is Andantino Script.

Here are mine! I actually am doing several of the DKG ornaments. That is an organization for women educators. I am president of our local chapter and need these for some door prizes. The lettering is our new logo. I didn't have the extra fine glitter, so ground some in an old coffee grinder. It didn't work as well as the fine (blue) but it is still a pretty effect.

MichelleMyBelle

I need to get some of these done. They turned out great.

crsntn

Those are beautiful and what creativeness - a coffee grinder lol. Now that's thinking on your feet. They look beautiful!

Taigen

I really hope I get the (time) and hang of this in time for christmas. Your ornaments are all really wonderful.

Fawn

Okay...thinking this weekend I will have a chance to try these out...now that I'm all excited about vinyl! Yay!
So, silly question for the day....what size ornaments do I buy to match which size of box templates? sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it!
I'd love to print out boxes from 12x12 paper as I recently bought a Christmas stack with glitter paper Not sure what size ornaments that requires.
Thanks for any tips/suggestions!

K_lee

Fawn, the 67 mm box of Bryans fits an 2 5/8 ornament, and cuts out on a 12x12 with box and the support pieces......you will have fun doing these!

I am sorry, I have a question. I clicked on the 4th posted box - it is all on top of each other, how do I get it to separate? I tried to select all, but it didn't do anything. Can you tell I so need to practice with this software?
Thanks for the help.
Sandy

K_lee

Sandy it is locked, go to the bottom of the layers and right click on the lock and unlock the layers and then you will beable to do whatever..........

My oldest daugher and I have made 70 of these in the past two days. All complete with boxes! and 2010 on each. I'll post pics soon. We had fun!

Hi how can I get my fonts to be upper and lower and not the same size as the capital letter? it does this even when using script

You want to use the button above your font to "add a group of characters" (either the "Ti" or the ABC with Pencil box)...click that, type in what you want and hit 'enter'. That will bring your text in sized properly to each other and not all independently sized to your caret (cursor) size.

Fawn

Yay! I'll got to HL tomorrow AM! woo-hoo!

Is this something crafty minded kids can help with? Would it be better to wear gloves d/t furniture polish ingredients? Just wondering as I know as soon as the glitter is out my girls will come running over!

sewemb

iggylover thank you so much!

iggylover

You're very welcome! :-D

CaseysAngel

Fawn, if you are in webinar you know my little one is ADDICTED to these ornaments. We did the three for my challenge and made the boxes (you can tell to that she helped but two of them together lol) and she is taking them to her teacher. Then tonight she made two more!!

CaseysAngel

opps forgot one.

SBryanW

How could you miss that one? That is the best one of all :-)

CaseysAngel

I know!!! Well minus the wild hair. Why is it everytime I take her picture she has the wild hair going on?LOL

That is her box she decorated Bryan but she used the light colored gel pens and I can't get it to show up!!!!!LOL

Thyme

What a little cutie!

lexpmill

Thank you crsntn for the font. I will definitely use it on mine. I am so glad I discovered this program and this forum. Thanks Again

It is not fair to make such a fun challenge in the middle of a crop. Once your start making these, you only want to stop long enough to go to the store and get more bulbs



This one is my favorite. I used an image from the gallery for the Yorkie.

CaseysAngel

very cute!!!!

judyx1343

Patricia where do you get the pretty card stock?

PatriciaStamps

Judy, the cardstock is from the Die Cuts with a View Holiday Collection, The Christmas Stack. I have used it for lots of projects for this crop. It is heavy weight and very nice for the boxes

angiehbug

these are for the grandkids & nieces & nephew. i think everyone likes the ornaments because they are so easy. Thanks Bryan for the boxes.

joesally

I have made a lot of Large Bulbs and would love to put them in boxes. Can you tell me where the boxes are and is there one for the large ornaments? I think they are 4"

Sally

elliott37

All of these are wonderful!
Patricia - the yorkie ornament is incredible!

Beanie_ID62

Sally the boxes are in this post, go back to page one, and I think the 4 in would take the 83 mm size box......

Awesome job Ladies and gents!

kathybessey

Absolutely gorgeous everyone!

Fawn

Wow! They are looking so awesome!
The girls and I made a few tonight, d/t time limits we stopped at 4. They made little ones for their Life of Faith dolls (18") and need to make more for the doll tree! Okay, only concern is the ornaments I got from Hobby Lobby don't seem as clear...like they have an extra sheen inside or something. I swished a few with rubbing alcohol and left to dry over night but still a competing sheen. So, it's not a film inside from manufacturing. Any one else experience this?
Also, do you guys put a lot of glitter in? I did not want to put in too much and waste it (I did buy the MS fine glitter set---yay HL coupons!)
Anyone try mixing colors?

PatriciaStamps

I tried mixing colors...it didn't go very well.

Yes, I pour in a LOT of glitter. It almost all comes back out. I was worried at first as well, but it works great

joesally

Thank you so much for the boxes. After Christmas, I am going to make several ornaments with Cherries on them for our Cherry Festival. I have lost of card stock with cherries on it and I think that would be a beautiful momento of our Festival. We are really big into the Cherry industry.

Sally

Nanc

Wow...there are going to be some beautifully decorated trees out there this year. Love all the ornaments!

JaneDough99_Tanya

Here are just a few that I made...they are so addicting..thinking I might grab a few more and make them for all my siblings/nieces/nephews for Christmas too


My 1st crack at putting vinyl on a round surface too and am totally impressed My E actually cut out such a script fine font on vinyl too hehe
The purple/iridescent on is my sister's name she's our O:) ...made it to put on the tree in her memory..this was her absolute fav time of year so had to make one for her too in her fav color

nubiancrafternc
