CTMH--- Art Philosophy Banner Christmas Tree

What have YOU created for the Holidays this year???

My biggest project this season has definitely been this Christmas Tree:
I just LOOOVE how it turned out!  Here's how I made it:
First of all, the idea came from a project I saw at convention by Sara Batkin.  I used ALL Close To My Heart products on the tree, and tons of cuts with my Cricut Art Philosophy!

I used two packages of these banners.  I found that I could cut the banner shape on the Art Philosophy Cartridge to 7" to fit the banners :)

The papers used are the Olive diamond pattern from Lucky, and Olive Cardstock
I stamped some tiny ornaments in Olive ink, then added some Sparkles to them


I created over 40 rolled flowers (remember THIS post).  I used them to create a "garland" across my tree. 
I used hemp to tie each banner together, then cranberry ribbon to make bows (and keep the pieces together too).  Even though its all tied up, I had to tape some cardboard across the backs of the rows to secure them really good!

Here's some detail for you :)

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
