Gel Press Paper Ball Ornaments

Over the past year I've become obsessed with making printed papers on my Gel Press.  It's truly easy to create organic color compositions or use the Gel Press Impressables & stencils to create specific patterns like I did with these ornaments.  The BEST thing about the Gel Press is that no two pulls look exactly the same.  You always get wonderful variations and there are endless techniques to try.  Using my simple pattern and a few little beads and baubles, you can make a tree full of these paper ornaments in no time using card stock and acrylic paints in traditional Christmas colors.  I've included the pattern below.  Just print it out in different sizes to get different sized ornaments.  Get crafty this Christmas, my sweet elves, and don't forget to Make Your Mark!
 It's LA so I had to photoshop some snow!
The bells give these light ornaments some needed weight

Happy! Merry! All that stuff!

Magical Origami Star Ornaments

These origami stars are easy to make and you can use them for the holidays in several different ways!  I'm going to hang some on my tree and turn some into Christmas cards.  Use patterned paper or stencil them like I did.  Pop a little gem in the middle and you have something super special.
Let your star shine this holiday season and don't forget to
