Whimsy Stamps "12 Days of Christmas" event....salt dough ornaments or tags!!

Hello everyone!! I have a super fun post to share today! It is for the.....


For all the details and how to win prizes please visit the Whimsy Blog. 

I have seen this on Pinterest for many years and finally have decided to make some.....Salt dough ornaments!! They are so pretty and so easy to make. Warning I have a lot of pictures.....:)




My daughters birthday is the 17th so I had to make a few for her. I will list all the products I used at the end of my post.

  


After you bake them I painted some with Distress inks. I also stamped the image before baking with Vintage Photo. 





These I embellished with some flowers.








Now these I used some Whimsy dies. I treated it like a stamp and used some Distress ink and lightly pressed it into the dough. The one on the upper left I painted with Distress inks after I baked them.



After you are done baking, stamping and painting I sprayed them with a sealer. You don't have to but I wanted the painted ink to stay in place. 

Here is a list of all the products I used. There is a lot.....:) 

Whimsy products:

Silver Fairy
Kitty Balloon
Stars and Baubles
Droplets Background
Holiday Circle Postmarks....oops...they don't have this set anymore but this one would look wonderful too.....Snowflake mini letter seals
Music Notes background
Christmas Mini Tag Sentiments
Hello word die
Winter's Jewel 1 die....GORGEOUS die
Layered Snowflakes Die set

A lot I know!! 
Here is the recipe I used to make the dough.

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water

Bake at 200 degrees for awhile. Some of mine took hours. You can also let them air dry overnight or for a few days.

I hope you will give these a try they are so versatile and fun to make!!
Enjoy Whimsys Stamps "12 Days of Christmas"!!

I also made these super cute teacher gifts in my previous post. If you would like to learn more about them click here!!


Thanks for visiting my blog!!
