Merry Christmas Eve
This is the card that I made for my Gram and Gramps that we are going to see tonight! My Gram LOVES birds so this card is perfect for them! Papers are from Kaisercraft Tis the Season collection...I love the vintage feel to these papers!
Image has been colored with Copics and then embossed with the SU embossing folder. I love the faux cross stitch look that it gives! Then I took my TH Tea Dye ink pad and distressed the edges to make the image more vintage feeling. Mr. Cardinal was then placed onto my Nellie Snellen die and spritzed with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.
Flowers are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts! The first arrangement was made using 25mm roses, and 15mm rose leaves. All flowers are glitzed up with Gold Stickles.
Flower arrangement two consists of a curly wild rose, 15mm roses, 10mm roses, 25mm rose leaf, and burgundy crystal stems.

A Magnolia/Nitwit Christmas card
Hi there, today I’m sharing a Christmas card using the small flat gardenia and the soon to be released larger rose buds (out in January and I can’t wait, they are gorgeous!)
The other flowers I used are 25mm wild rose and 15mm roses. The pearls are also from WOC (and I just noticed one of the pearls are skew, best go fix that before I forget), and the mistletoe leaves are a Doohickey die.

I've also used 20mm roses, and 8mm semi-open roses (which have been airbrushed to match the color theme of the notepad holder), and clear crystal stems.

Another Christmas Card
This card uses a WOJ cutie from last years Winter Stamp Set. Isn't she a doll?! I absolutely love her and her innocence! Papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather collection, I love how this pad has bold colors as well as subtle soft colors too! Lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts and is the Guipure Lace....absolutely LOVE this one, again it adds to the elegance of the card. I've taken my narrow purple MS ribbon and wove it into the lace, and then used my Bow Easy to create the bow! :) For the background edging I've used my new MS ATP holly punch!
My image was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.
Did you know???? Wild Orchid Crafts is now carrying Hydrangea flowers in an assortment of colors...you can find there -->here<--! YAY!!! Finishing off my flower arrangement is 15mm roses, Padded Snowflakes, and 15mm Rose Leaves.

Jacqui’s card using the new small gardenias
Oooh I just spied this on Jacqui’s blog and had to nick it to post on here!! She’s also used the small flat gardenias – gorgeous!
New flowers at Wild Orchid Crafts
Warning – lots of pics.
Oh my goodness, wait till you see these!! Wild Orchid Crafts is now stocking small flat gardenias, they go on sale today. I do love the big ones but I think these smaller ones are just the business lol. They measure just over an inch in diameter so work really well with the other WOC flowers.
I decided to showcase them in pink – no surprises there then lol. I had a mooch through the uninked rubber drawer and can’t believe I have not used this little sweetie yet.
I coloured her with Copics and used
Hair: E79, E74, E40
Skin: E21, E00, E000, R20
Clothes: E42, E41, E40, R21, R20, 11, R00, R000
I have used Websters Pages 6 x 6 pad – totally love these papers so much.
A close up of the gorgeous small flat gardenias, 15mm roses and 4mm rose buds. For the leaves I just folded some green card in half and snipped out some rough leaf shapes.
The charm is from my stash, I went a bit crazy with the Distress Crackle Paint yesterday. I coated the heart charm with the paint, the edges of the paper and the dragonfly die cut as well.
The Whimsy Shapeology Ticket Die and Ticket Sentiments work a treat together, a perfect cut every time, I’m well impressed.
I’ve a feeling these flowers are going to fly so don’t hang around if you want them.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday (I am going to be sorting out my craftroom after my hubby has put up more rails for my punches, whoopee …. not!)
