Silver and White Christmas Tree

I love decorating for Christmas, especially Christmas trees. I put up 3 full size trees and several smaller trees throughout the house. Each tree has it's own theme. This is my newest tree. It is only 2 foot so it will be perfect sitting on top of the piano. All the ornaments are either Cricut or Cuttlebug cuts or decorated with Cricut cuts.
These glass ornaments were so easy and fun to decorate. I found the ornaments on sale at Hobby Lobby. They have a flat front and and back so it gives a great surface area for the decorations. I used silver and white vinyl.
Ornament Details:
Christmas Flower: Joys of the Season Cricut cart cut at 1.75 inches
Christmas Tree: Christmas Noel Cricut cart cut at 2 inches
Snowflake: Joys of the Season Cricut cart cut at 1.75 inches
Snowflake: When it Cold Outside Cricut cart cut at 1.75 inches
Holly: Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge cut at 1.75 inches
Ornament: Christmas Noel Cricut cartridge cut at 1.75 inches
Bow on ornament: Christmas Noel Cricut cartridge cut at .75 inches
These ornaments are beautiful in real life. I had lots of the Martha Stewart glow in the dark glitter left over from Halloween so I decided to see what it would look like on these ornaments. They really do glow in the dark and look lovely on the tree.
Cut Details:
Ornament 1: Christmas Noel Cricut cart cut at 3.5 inches
Ornament 2: Christmas Noel Cricut cart cut at 4 inches
For these ornaments I cut and then embossed the silver ovals with the Cuttlebug. The green leaves are felt that I cut with the cuttlebug too.
Ornament details:
Silver Ovals: Cuttlebug cut and emboss die set
Poinsettia: Joys of the Season Cricut cart cut at 1.75 inches
Leaf: Leaf from the Cuttlegug Rose quilling kit

I am entering this Christmas tree into the monthly contest on the Cricut Circle blog. The challenge was to create a home decor item using the following criteria:
*Use at least one Cricut Cartridge cut
*Use the Cuttlebug in some way
*Use felt in some way
*Use the color Green somewhere on your project
