Rosette Tree

Here is the rosette tree I made this afternoon. I can't take credit for the idea, I saw the idea over at Creations with Christina. She had a patterned she followed. After looking at her tree I decided I wanted to make one and use my Ribbon and Rosettes Cricut Cartridge.

I have seven layers on my tree. I of course used the tree rosette. I started cutting my rosettes at 3". I cut 5 sections for each of my rosettes. Each layer is 1/4" smaller then the layer below it. After putting all my rosettes together I cut seven 1" circles and hot glued them to the centers of each of my rosettes. Then I hot glued each layer together. All the paper is from a Recollections paper pad I picked up last Christmas.

My topper is a snowflake from the Teresa Collins December 25th Cricut Cartridge. I cut 4 snowflakes at 1 1 3/4". Scored them in the middle (that was a challenge) and then glued the folded pieces together to make a 3D snowflake and hot glued it to the top of my tree. Finally sprayed the whole tree with some Pearls Glimmer Mist and let it dry.

I think this will be going in my office at work. I am pleased with it.

Winter Wonderland

I found a new paper pack at Michael's today. It is by Recollections and is called Starry Night. It is gorgeous. Lots of foil on the paper. (I know, I need more paper because....?) Of courese I had to come home and make a card out of it!

My card base is blue card stock cut and folded to make a 4" X 9" card (called a tall card). I added a white mat cut at 3 3/4" X 8 3/4" and then my patterned paper cut at 3 1/2" X 8 1/2". I also added a strip of white paper that used an EK Success punch on with a snowflake border. I cut the white strip at 1 3/4" X 8 1/2". I then stamped my sentiment and adhered the layers together. I also just got the Teresa Collins December 25th cartridge and my cut is from that cartridge. I cut the snowflake at 3". I cut the base layer out of blue card stock and snowflake layer out of American Crafts White Glitter card stock. This card stock is beautiful and very thick. I did use a multi-cut of 4 to cut my snowflake out. I then took some clear rhinestones and colored 7 of them blue with a Copic marker and then added them to the snowflake and I also added some of the clear rhinestones to the flourishes as well.
