Merry Christmas Tree Ornament with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. I've been busy playing with the some of our Christmas chipboard and have created for you a Christmas Tree Ornament, that's perfect to add to your Christmas Tree. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Merry Tree Ornament.


To start, apply Aged Brass Art Alchemy Metallique Wax to the rim and inside of the canning jar lid. This will dull down the silver from the canning jar lid.


Pull out the large ornament from the 3D Filagree Star Ornament package. Trim off the loop at the top of the ornament. Apply two coats of Brushed Pewter Distress Stain to the ornament. Set aside to dry.


From the Sm. Primitive Stars, pull out one of the stars from the package. Apply two coats of Tarnished Brass Distress Stain to the star. Set the star aside to dry.


Take the Merry out of the Wood Words of Christmas - Noel package. Apply two coats of Gathered Twigs Distress Stain to the word. Set aside to dry.


From the Snowflakes 714 package, take out one of the large snowflakes. Using a Blending Tool with foam, blend Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the entire surface of the snowflake. Set aside.


Take one of the Corrugated Stars out of the package. Apply Emboss It Ink to the entire surface of the star. Sprinkle Charred Gold Embossing Powder over the entire star. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Let cool for a few seconds before picking up the star.


From the Small Merry Deer Mix package, take one deer out. Apply Emboss It Ink to the entire surface of the deer. Sprinkle Charred Gold Embossing Powder over the entire deer. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Let cool for a few seconds before picking up the star.


Take the Rod Iron Circle Frame out of the package. Apply Emboss It Ink to the entire surface of the frame. Sprinkle Aztek Gold Embossing Powder over the entire frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Let cool for a few seconds before applying another coat of Emboss It Ink to the entire surface of the frame. With the frame now cooled, add a coat of Emboss It Ink to the entire frame. Sprinkle Fractured Ice Embossing Powder over the entire frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. Let cool for a few seconds before picking the frame up.


Die cut a 2 3/4" Stitched Circle out of patterned paper. Die cut two 3 1/4" Stitched Circles out of patterned paper. Distress the edges of the circles. Ink the edges of the circles using a Blending tool and foam.


Adhere the 2 3/4" circle to one of the 3 1/4" circles. Adhere the 3 1/4" circle to the inside of the canning jar.


Adhere the Rod Iron Circle Frame to the middle of the 2 3/4" patterned paper circle.


Adhere the 3D Filagree Star Ornament over top of the Rod Iron Circle Frame.


Adhere the snowflake to the middle of the 3D Filagree Star Ornament. 


Foam square the corrugated star to the middle of the snowflake. Adhere the sm. primitive star slightly overtop of the corrugated star.


Adhere the deer to the middle of the star. Adhere the Merry word at the bottom of the deer. 


In the top left hand corner, adhere two light blue roses, three brown roses and three cream roses. In the bottom right hand corner adhere two light blue roses, two brown roses and one cream rose. Adhere a piece of twine at the top of the lid so that you can hang it on your tree. To finish the twine hanger, add a twine bow were the two ends meet. Adhere the other 3 1/4" circle to the back side of the canning jar lid.  


Here are a few close up shots of my ornament.






And here's the finished Merry Tree Ornament.
