I saw some cute acrylic frame Christmas ornaments on someone's blog recently. While I can't remember the blog, I do remember it was connected to Papertrey Ink's Christmas release. PTI sells these cute acrylic frames (3.25 x 3.25) and I decided to make my own version using a transparency sheet and my Wishblade. If you don't have a wishblade you could use square Nestabilites or plain old ruler and scissors/craft knife (ugh). I stamped on the transparency with White Stazon using PTI's polka dot basics set. I used a 1" circle punch folded in half and threaded with ribbon to hold the frame together with the cardstock. 
I didn't want to adhere the clear frame to the cardstock portion because I didn't want the adhesive to show. It is ok to adhere the half circle to the frame before you thread your ribbon. This was a very easy project.

I am giving this ornament to Carmen and hopefully she'll remember to hang it on her tree when I come over.
Have a great day!
