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 :)

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
