MCT 19th Edition Sneak Peek: Tree-mendous Wishes!

This week, Emma and the My Creative Time Design Team are celebrating the upcoming 19th Edition Release with great Sneak Peeks!

Today, I'm showcasing It's A Magical Season. I've seen beautiful ribbon trees in retail stores during the holiday season and wanted to try one of my own - on a much smaller scale.

The tree itself is only about four inches tall. Its 'pot' is the little bucket that they serve the desserts in at Logan's Roadhouse (I knew I kept those little pails for a reason...). Since I didn't have any Styrofoam trees in the right size, I simply cut a triangle out of card stock, wrapped it into a cone shape and used sticky tape to secure it.

Each little piece of ribbon was cut at about two inches long and hot glued into a little tab. I then used my hot glue gun to adhere each tab individually to the tree. After I finished attaching the ribbon tabs, I topped the tree with a big green bow.

The "Tree-mendous Wishes" sentiment from It's A Magical Season was stamped onto the largest tag die from Teeny Tag Greetings.
