Rosette Ornaments

 Rosettes are all the craze right now.  Of course I couldn't help myself but to buy the Cricut cartridge Ribbons and Rosettes.  I am still playing with the cartridge.  Today's project is made using Ribbons and Rosettes and Mini Monograms.

I started by using my Gypsy to weld two 3.59 inch borders together.  I used the 2x3 border feature. i cut two of these out of Authentique double sided paper. I then scored every 1/4 inch.

If you need to learn how I weld border not only for Ribbons and Rosettes but other Cricut cartridges please watch this video.  It is so easy!

Here is a close up of the paper. Isn't it divine!?!

Next I connected to two pleated strips.  I used this flap to "wrap" over the edge of the second pleated strip.

 Once I connected to two edges, I ended up with this cupcake looking circle.

 Next I cut and stamped these circled form Mini Monograms at 2.5 inches.  The sentiment is from Pink By Design Stamps "Olde Time Christmas".

 Next I applied lace to the back of the circle with hot glue.  I then hot glued rhinestones to the circle.

Next I flattened the rosette and applied a generous amount of hot glue to the center.  I pressed the circle into the glue, sealing the rosette in place. I did this for both sides. I then tied small gold twine through the loops to create a hanger.

I am making a few of these to put on my tree. I think they would be awesome on gifts in lieu of bows or ribbons.  Because both sides are done, they could also be hung from the ceiling to decorate.

Here are some close ups.
