CTMH---- Patriotic Flower Wreath

When the Art Philosophy bundle first came out, I saw a few consultants making flower wreaths.  I loved them of course but though, boy that's A LOT of work....

A couple of my team members have recently been making them too.... and then one of them mentioned that she was going to do a patriotic one.  I thought- YES!  That's exactly what I'm going to do too! 


I got to work cutting flowers from my Art Philosophy cartridge.  I cut over 160 flowers at 2", 2 1/2" and 3" to fill this 10" wreath. 

I'm going to be making some more too :)  Turns out rolling flowers can be done just about anywhere.... on a break at work, while watching TV, while sitting at Allie's dance class...

YOU should try making one yourself!  I'd love to see it if you do :)

Jen this is beautiful!

Question - is the base wreath one that's styrofoam or straw? How did you adhere the flowers to the wreath?

Thanks!
Helen, its a white styrofoam base and I used a hot glue gun to glue them on.

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

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 :)
