3D Ornament Xmas Card/Decor

Made this Shaped Ornament card/decoration using Anna's Christmas Kitsch Cricut cartridge.

Did not know what 'kitsch' meant so I googled it:

kitsch
kiCH/
noun
noun: kitsch
  1. 1.
    art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way.

    "the lava lamp is an example of sixties kitsch"
adjective
adjective: kitsch
  1. 1.
    considered to be in poor taste but appreciated in an ironic or knowing way.

    "the front room is stuffed with kitsch knickknacks, little glass and gilt ornaments"
Origin

1920s: German.

Kitsch | Definition of Kitsch by Merriam-Webster

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kitsch
Merriam‑Webster
1 : something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality. 2 : a tacky or lowbrow quality or condition <teetering on the brink of kitsch — Ron Miller>

Kitsch | Define Kitsch at Dictionary.com

www.dictionary.com/browse/kitsch
Kitsch definition, something of tawdry design, appearance, or content created to appeal to popular or undiscriminating taste. See more.
The definition left a bad taste (no pun intended) so I looked it up in my dictionary. Yes, I still have a dictionary and like the definition there better which is:

Artistic or literary material designed to appeacl to current popular tastes & interests. 

Made this ornament twice. First I used gray cardstock for the base but thought my 2nd version with the green vine pattern looked better since it looked like it was hanging off a tree branch.
