Simon Says Stamp – Delicate Hummingbird Duo Ornament

Hi friends!

I have a non-card project to share today that I’m excited about! The products used on my embroidery hoop ornament today are from the Cheering for You release from Simon Says Stamp and I hope you’ll enjoy the ways I’ve used them for this project!

When I saw the Swing Blossoms die, I saw the way it curved perfectly for a wreath, but I’m trying to share non-card projects too so I went for my embroidery hoop stash and this 3.5″ hoop is perfect for the curvature of the die. I used a regular embroidery hoop, but I’m going to link something I saw from Spellbinders that will work, too. The Embroidery Hoop Frames has a size that is perfect for this project if you want to replicate (the medium hoop from the set).

I die-cut, ink-blended and pieced together the Swing Blossoms and Delicate Hummingbird Duo. I die-cut two extra layers of the Swing Blossoms die in white to make it more sturdy. Keeping the embroidery hoops tightened together, I glued the curved vine and flowers onto the hoop. Next, I added the Hummingbirds. For the background, I embossed the Crimped Blossoms Embossing Folder over some white card stock and die-cut it with a Nested Circle to fit just right behind the embroidery hoop for a background. Before gluing it down, I ink-blended it softly with colors I also used on the other die-cut elements.

I should mention that there are a few areas where I added a stack of 3D foam squares (4 thick, 1 thin) for extra support so those die-cuts don’t sag or move in the future. Next, I added a simple sentiment from the All the Thanks Sentiment Strips. The hanging faux silk ribbon and bow is dyed with Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz.

I’ve mentioned before that I LOVE humminigbirds, so this project was special to me. I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks for visiting today!
