Today I am guest-posting over at Traci's for business office of her "Simple too Inexpensive Christmas" series. I am showing several of the cardstock projects I convey done for Christmas decorating this twelvemonth too idea I would part a tutorial hither on how I made the close recent one. We convey been getting a lot of requests for a tutorial on how to brand the cardstock photograph ornaments but because that requires photoshop I idea instead I would produce a tutorial for something actually like that does non require whatever photo-editing programs. I had to acquire roughly photograph corners, brackets too roughly brads thus this i terms a petty to a greater extent than (the lastly i was less than $1.50) but it nonetheless terms less than $10!

Sorry for the horrible lineament of the photos below for the tutorial but I did this projection inwards the wee hours of the morning time too had nix natural calorie-free thus they are pretty grainy too yellowy.

First, hither is everything you lot volition need:

Photo Corners (I prefer the onetime fashioned master copy form but they didn't convey any)

Metal Book Plates

Mini Brads

Cardstock

Photos (I had roughly v past times 7's inwards dark too white too roughly v past times 5's inwards a to a greater extent than sepia musical note too figured I would role whichever looked amend when I started putting them together. Once I started I idea the dark too white looked much better).

Scissors (or a boxcutter too ruler)

1). Put on the 4 photograph corners on your photo.

2). Then house the photos alongside the photos corners on them downwards onto your cardstock. I every bit able to seat 2 on each 12 past times 12 slice of textured cardstock. Then in i trial they are attached house the metallic bookplate where you lot desire it.

3). Position the metallic majority plate simply how you lot desire to too and thus add together the brads.

4). Now cut the cardstock down.

5). Next I wrote the names on petty pieces of cardstock.

6). And too thus slide the petty slice of cardstock downwards into the majority plate.

Then I simply hung them upwards inwards the kitchen to supercede the petty turkey projects nosotros did for Thanksgiving. You could too punch holes inwards the transcend of them too add together roughly roll too hang them from your tree. I would recommend making them a petty smaller though.

I mean value this would await best using simply Christmas photos but seeing how nosotros didn't convey rattling many that didn't run this year. I am hoping inwards the years to come, though, I volition convey to a greater extent than work solid unit of measurement shots of us at Christmas too tin swap these photos out for them.

Also, although nosotros are officially sold out of the dark sets of our Silent Night/Holy Night pillow covers nosotros simply finished upwards a bunch of carmine ones too they are straightaway for sale!

We are too excited to finally live offering roughly silhouette cutouts! We are selling them inwards sets of six. Right straightaway nosotros simply convey the tan coloring available.

They await nifty added to cards or gifts or you lot tin frame them:

Or fifty-fifty decorate your tree alongside them (I did mine inwards ivory which nosotros don't convey correct now)

And hither is a petty peak at the tree inwards our living room that I am working on. I innovation on finishing it this weekend too sharing to a greater extent than pictures of it alongside you lot on Mon including roughly shots of roughly of my novel favorite ornaments from 2 fabulous Etsy shops!
