Here is a quick and easy project created by Ranger Artist/Photographer Debbie Tlach using Ice Stickles, Inkssentials Memory Frames and Frosted Memory Glass. This would be a fun activity for the whole family to make together to give as gifts or use to decorate your tree.
Here's how it's done: Cut two 2 x 2 pieces of colored cardstock and set aside. This will be your background. Next, stamp an image on the frosted side of the 2 x 2 Frosted Memory Glass with Adirondack Pitch Black Pigment Ink. Let Dry. (Debbie used Paper Artsy's Partridge from Egg Nog #5 set.) Then decorate the glass (still on the frosted side) with dots, stripes or color the entire piece of glass with Ice Stickles. Let dry. Insert the glass and 2 x 2 cardstock into a 2 x 2 Memory Frame, add a ribbon on top, and that's all there is to it.
The large glitter crystals you find in Ice Stickles really make the background of these ornaments sparkle and glisten. So festive!
Do you make our own Christmas ornaments? Always love to hear new ideas.
Wow, those are really cool, just might try some while I’m waiting for the Day 6 tag to post.
Way to go, Debby!

This looks so cool! TFS! I don’t make my own ornaments, I already have too much for the tree
But sometimes I make some table ornaments to use once. Thinking about the alcohol ink ornaments this year, with glitter inside or… or…
These are adorable and seem to be quite simple.
great idea! i have a christmas luncheon to go to and think i will make these for a little favor for everyone. thanks for sharing, stamping sue

Beautiful!! These would make awesome ornaments!!

Gorgeous! I love all the sparkle, such a great idea. The only ornaments I’ve made for the tree where ones using Scherenschnitte, the German paper cutting technique. I made them quite a few years ago. They took so much time, that we put them away carefully and still use them every year. Hmm, maybe I’ll add Stickles to them this year!

Too cute. Just adore these. Another excuse to use stickle.. I love stickles! I can’t get enough of it.
I do make my own ornaments but usually as gifts for others. This year I didn’t use any Ranger products, sad to say, but did make some cute Scrabble tile ornaments.
I love having my son make ornaments—usually with hand prints!!!!
These are really neat and not real time consuming. Thanks for sharing!!!

OMGosh! I just love love love these ornaments. I love stickles!
I love them! I love and use Stickles on most projects! I try to make a few ornaments every year.
These ar so pretty!
This year I made some ornaments out of copper wire & beads.
Gotta love it! Another way to use Stickles!!!
Great idea! Love the look!
I love these ornaments! I love the shimmer of stickles too. Yes, I make an ornament or two every year.
Cheers,

Great idea! Those are so pretty! Stickles are the best!
yes…luv these frames…Tim showed me how to do my very first one!
I’ll have to make some of these as package adornments. Thanks for the awesome idea!
Oooo, pretty.
Fabulous idea!!! They do really glisten even in the picture!!!
I love to make my own ornaments and to give them out as gifts. Who doesn’t love to use stickles???
I love the way these sparkle. I haven’t tried any of the ice stickles. I’m certainly going to have to check them out. Thanks for the idea, these are beautiful.
Love that memory frame. I took a class with time in Detroit and wear my necklace proudly, as all the ladies notice it at all the crops I go to. I made decorations in the past, although as of late, no i have not made any.

Debbie, you’re a genius!! We have been searching high and low for just the right shade of silvery/ creamy/White decorations for our tree this year to no avail. YOU just solved the problem and I have loads of glass and frames of all sizes and funnily enough I have that stamp too!! Lol. The kids are onto it! Thanks. Leandra (PaperArtsy)
HI TANGERINE IS THE ONLY NAME FOR THE UNKNOWN COLOR – IT DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE AN ORANGEY COLOR
Cool stuff here. I loved your book!
What good about the pattern of your design is the simplicity it upholds. It can be easily made because of it. And I find it really adorable!
