That's right...I said Valentine ornament!
I know it's crazy that we just took down the Christmas tree decorations, but over at The Cutting Cafe, the hits keep coming and the holiday festivities never stop!
So let's go see what I've made using the following cut files...
By enlarging this heart to desired size and duplicating it twice, I was able to join the sides together and paint it black, crackle it and then paint it red. The weathered wood appearance makes this faux wooden ornament look so pretty with die cut flourishes, ribbon, berries and wire hanger.
About 6 of these would look fabulous scattered around the Valentine tree.
Using the Heart Trio Card again, I made three different smaller ornaments and continued with the rustic, primitive look.
These hearts were different shapes and cut out from an old BINGO card for stability.
Some hearts got twine, others received moss, but each has a cute vintage sentiment, berries and bow.
For a larger table display or inside of a cabinet, I chose to use A-Z Letter Set and create my own X and O sign that I've covered with decorative cork sheets.
What's really fun about this set is that I turned the O into a shaker!
And finally, here are some little tags that could substitute as ornaments as well. With the twine loop on them, the possibilities are endless.
For these I used the following:
Regina designed this file to be a tri-fold card, but by cutting down the perforated lines, I was able to make three tags/ornaments.
Here you can see that I've lightly secured the envelope fold under a gently glued heart. This allows for you to open the envelope and write a tiny message inside for the recipient.
Side view....
And there you have it.

Your ornaments are fabulous and I have always loved rustic. Those tags with the little envelopes are really smashing - now who wouldn't love those!!
Now that you and your Mom have a "This and That" shop, you have to keep it decorated according to the month. People love that kind of thing and are always on the lookout for something they have not seen before. Your creativity is off the charts - Everything looks gorgeous Lisa!!!!!

Yes, of course - next stop the Valentine tree! I love your rustic take on the hearts - stops it all being too twee. So clever with the twine binding, and the curly twiggy one is adorable. The weathered wood effect on the red heart is a complete triumph - I'd've sworn it was actul wood - brilliant!

Wow, so many great projects Lisa!! I think it's a great time to start Valentine's. I like to skip directly from one theme to the next whenever possible, otherwise I end up with a shelf full of cards that say things like "dream to inspire" and "enjoy the journey"! Bwahahaha! hugs my friend :)
