Two More Jolly July Ornaments

Good morning!
I finished  up these 2 ornaments that Chelsea stitched this morning as part of our Jolly July stitch a long with Kimberly at The Fat Quarter Shop! These are both from the Christmas Cheer leaflet from Heart In Hand ..
 ***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I need to stitch both of these .. they are really sweet! For the snowman I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath ..and then mounted buffalo plaid to another piece of sticky board . Then glued those 2 together . I used a buffalo check ribbon with snowflakes for a hanger ..a bow of black buffalo check .. red berries and a wood snowflake
For Ho Ho Ho .. I mounted it on sticky board with batting .. mounted red plaid on sticky board .. added a bow of ribbon that looks like a knitted sweater ..flocked greenery and a Santa bell tied with red check ribbon 
Both were stitched with Classic Colorworks Floss in Licorice Red.. Pine Needles.. Sticks and Twigs .. Poblano Pepper.. Tangerine  and Bamboo on 28 count Tea / Coffee dyed Monaco 
These are Chelsea's finishes so far for Jolly July Thanks so much for stopping by!

and here are all the ornaments that are finished so far! I just love having all of these pretties ready for Christmas!
This is Merry Holly Berries from With Thy needle and thread .. I used Classic Colorworks floss on a 28 count Rit dyed Monaco that was also coffee tea dyed .. the floss colors I used were Sticks and Twigs, Cherry Cobbler, Avocado, Bamboo, and English Ivy  
I finished it in a round .. added a thick ruffle around the ornament of torn homespun plaid .. a plaid bow and a gingham bow on top with a rusty bell finish it off ..It is adorable!
Next is Lizzie Kate Tiny Tidings XVll I used Classic Colorworks Black Coffee ..Licorice Red and Toasted Marshmallow.. it was stitched on 28 count tea/ coffee dyed Monaco 
I mounted it on sticky board .. then mounted buffalo check fabric on sticky board for the backing .. Glued the two pieces together .. I added some greenery to the top .. 2 buffalo check bows with covered buttons in the centers and a Santa bell tied with bakers twine ..
Ho Ho Ho!
and last from Heart In Hand Needleart All is Calm .. I decided to stitch it for my chalkboard tree so I stitched it on black 28 count evenweave .. I used Gentle arts Chalk .. and Classic colorworks in Holly Jolly , Steamed Broccoli , cocoa bean and Licorice Red .. I changed up a lot of the design and I love it .. It only took me a couple hours to stitch .
To finish it I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath ( I did that on all of  these ornaments) I used torn red gingham to make a tight ruffle around the ornament and added a buffalo check bow .. a covered button and some berry sprigs in white
I really am enjoying Jolly July .. and i hope you are stitching along with us! I'm seeing lots of the #fqsjollyjuly hashtags on Instagram and Facebook!

Here are all the ornament finishes  so far ! :) I am so excited these are ready for Christmas decorating!

Free.. is called Free and the round one is Holly Jolly Holiday

I used Classic Colorworks Rainshower, Black Coffee, Steamed Broccoli , Bamboo, Licorice Red , Cocoa Bean and stitched it on 28 count light blue evenweave that was coffee tea dyed
Round finish tutorial ..
I finished it in a round shape with batting underneath and added a really thick ruffle around the outside edge .. a buffalo check ribbon greenery and a rusty bell topped it off .

This is Chelsea's ornament for Cash's tree.. this is tiny so I made the background sticky board bigger to make the ornament have a bigger impact but the stitching is still the star .. I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath ..mounted red gingham checks to the bigger piece of sticky board .added a tied patriotic ribbon on the bottom ..a row of blue vintage trim from Lori Holt across the top and then around the entire ornament .. a red check ribbon is used for hanging ..
The floss colors I used for Jingle are Classic Colorworks  Holly Jolly, Licorice Red , Bamboo, Rainshower, Black Coffee .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. and added a red gingham fabric ruffle and then a black gingham fabric ruffle .. flocked greenery ..a bufflao check bow and an aqua check covered button
