First, some ornament inspiration!...
I created this simple pocket ornament for the hop
using the *gorgeous* Christmas Blessings set
Since I'm not much of a colorer, I decided to use glitter on my stamped image instead!
Instructions: Cut strip of cardstock 8" x 3 1/2". Trim top with Spellbinders Labels 18 die. Adhere sides of strip of paper to create pocket. Adhere block of paper to front of ornament base. Die cut label 18 shape and stamp image with black ink. Apply glitter to stamped image. Adhere image to card. Punch holes in side of ornament, thread gold trim through to create hanger. Fill inside of pocket with your choice of goodies.

Rae, your coloring with stickles is a great to add just that extra little bling to a perfect ornament!
