Hi! I wanted to make a quick post and show you these ornaments now or it wouldn't be until after Christmas and that would be a bit redundant, right? And nooooo this isn't the exciting news post, but it's coming. Probably tomorrow or Friday I will let you in on the news **grinning from ear-to-ear**.
I buy a rocking horse ornament for a special young lady every Christmas but wasn't able to find one for her this year or last year. Seems ornaments have a cycle of popular or trendy themes and rocking horses were not in the mix the last few years. Here's where the Silhouette Store and my Cameo came to the rescue. I bought two different cut files and cut several of each and glued the layers together to give them some heft. I thought of trying some chipboard but with a few more things to make for Christmas I didn't want to push the envelope. Several ladies in the Silhouette Plus Forum have cut chipboard successfully, but I am not ready to try it yet. Not until I have an extra cutting blade on hand.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Hugs, Shawna

oh Shawna, these are awesome! They really turned out super!
Hi Shawna,
Thanks for visiting my blog! We have paper ornaments like this that we hang on the tree every year that must be almost 35 years old. They are a classic and have stood the test of time! I never even thought to make something like this with my Silhouette.
Thanks for sharing,
