Wee Sarah

Here’s another Christmas Card from me using some delish Wild Orchid Crafts goodies – Seam binding, MKX-405 lace, Trellis Rose, wild roses, rosebuds 8mm, open rose 20mm, and finished off with a couple of the new Cut-Outs die cut embellishments Forever Corner Ornaments and Lanterns Standing (one of my favourite die cuts ever!!)

I love the soft pretty green rose, it’s not a colour you see used often in flowers but it goes with so many of the colours Wild Orchid Crafts offers in their flowers.

Bella with Wild Orchid Crafts roses

Good morning everybody,

Today I'd like to show you a card I made with a new image by Conie Fong for Sweet Pea Stamps, Bella with rose. Of course I added some extra flowers.




I first colored the bear and then the rose. I wanted to go for a very light purple and then after that decided that purple was going to be the main color of my card.



A close up of the gorgeous flowers that surround Bella. I used different tones of purple and a bit of white, the adorable little pearls are also by Wild Orchid Crafts. They come on a sheet with three colors that match the mixed purple flower sets perfectly.

I hope you like my card and get some time to craft yourself today! Have fun!

Hugs,

I {heart} Christmas

I had a play with something different for a very special friend who I think is the biggest fan of Christmas on this planet.  Seriously!  She has thousands of ornaments from all over the world so I wanted to make her something that I know she won’t already have.

bev-rochester-joy-heart-ornament1

 

Lots of delicious Wild Orchid Crafts products were used: Trellis Rose, Cottage Rose, Open Roses 15mm and 20mm, white cabochon angel, gold bells, white stamens.  I dabbed white paint on to the flowers using a small piece of sponge (much more controlled than using a paintbrush) then once dry slathered on Mercury Glass Stickles.

bev-rochester-joy-heart-ornament2

 

The edges were painted with gold paint before I adhered the paper on then once dry the edges were inked and glittered.

 

bev-rochester-joy-heart-ornament3

 

My lovely hubby bent some brass tubing into ‘S’ shapes so I could join the hearts together

I bought the hearts from my local craft shop but I would think you could cut them quite easily from chipboard or mount board.  I covered the front and back of each heart with Bo Bunny paper.

I had such fun making this and it only took a couple of hours to do.

Paint with all the colors of the wind

Hello everybody,

Today I have an older project to show you that I hadn't shown on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog yet.
I decorated this cigar box with Wyanet by Wee Stamps as the main inspiration. I decided right away that I wanted to use feathers so I bought some of those at a local store that sells a lot for making real flower arrangements but of course I didn't want to use real flowers on my box as I wanted it to last so I used pretty Wild Orchid Flowers in stead. Since the feathers were brownish I decided to match that with Deep Red and white flowers. I thought the deep red was the perfect combination with the brownish tones of the feathers.
This is a side view of the box.

Hope you like my box and get inspired to do some crafting of your own!
Hugs,





Wild Orchid Crafts materials used:
Deep Red Cherry Blossom Flowers
Deep Red Open Roses 15mm
Deep Red Rosebuds 6mm
White Sweetheart Blossom Flowers
White Trellis Roses 35mm
White (from set of Mixed) Tea Roses 25mm

Holiday memories

Hello everyone :)
Today I would like to show you my mini-album made with photos from this years holidays. I used lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and new die cuts.


I selected white and mint flowers, they match perfectly to my papers and photos. I also added pearls and shells, I found on the beach.



I used lots of gorgeous, mint hydrangeas. I used them in a way that I learned from Olga Heldwein - they replaced the leaves and perfectly filled composition.
 

I also used daisies, sweethearts, apple blossoms and cherry blossoms.

I hope you like my mini-album with holiday mamories!

A Christmas card with hexagons

Hi everybody,

Today I'd like to show you another Christmas card I made. I think this is the second time ever I used my hexagon dies but I wanted to try something new.
The base of the card is just kraft cardstock, with stitches by hand around the edges. I smeared a bit embossing ink on one side of an embossing folder and pressed that on two edges of the cardstock, sprinkled white embossing powder on and heat embossed that. I wanted to get this not perfect pattern.
The image that I used is the newly released Sarah by Wee Stamps (available as a rubber stamp through Whimsy Stamps). I colored her with Copic Markers and 3D paper pieced her.
For the embellishments I used gorgeous red Trellis roses, a white open rose, pretty red hip rosebuds and one red Christmas berry spray with pine cones (you'll find links below). I still have berries and a cone left so what you see on this card is about 2/3rd of one spray.

I hope you like my new Christmas card. Not that much time until the Christmas cards need to be send of so hope you get some time to do some crafting of your own!

Hugs,
