I've created an ornament that can be used as a tree decoration, a gift tag, or even an embellishment for a card. I stamped and die cut 6 ornament shapes and scored them down the center with my Scor-Pal. Using Blossom twine from The Twinery, I created a tassel to embellish my ornament. I also die cut a small Sizzix label shape twice and stamped a small sentiment on it--I adhered the two labels to each other to embellish the top of my ornament.
