This was another project from our December club meeting. I honestly can't remember where I first saw the 3-D art, but there were 3-D Christmas trees on a card. That got the wheels turning in my head (could you see the steam and hear the grinding gears??) and I decided to use the ornament punch to make a fun little gift tag.
I punched 4 ornaments from some retired DSP and folded 3 of them in half, folding in the side I wanted to see. Then I began attaching the halves together. After this step, I attached the first and last half to the unfolded piece (still with me?). I don't have a picture of the back, but I used a to/from stamp for the names. The last step is to pierce a hole near the top and run some linen thread through the hole to make a 'hanger'. This could also be turned into a completely 3-D ornament by adding two more ornament pieces, folding all six in half, and then attaching the halves together.

My site is named after my Black Lab, Shadow. Shadow received his name by being my constant shadow including while I am crafting. The running joke in my family was that due to the whole 'Labs shed A LOT', everything I created had a signature 'Shadow' hair hidden somewhere... While Shadow is no longer with us, I am lovingly reminded of him every time a random hair shows up in my craft room. Like our loved ones, Lab hair never really leaves us and that is a pretty comforting thought!
I love 3D art Margaret and these are great! Thanks for the inspiration and prayers for my Dad.
