Daphne and Daffodils!!

Hello, everyone and a Happy Sunday to you!! We are so happy to welcome you to the blog where we show you how we use the gorgeous products from the Wild Orchid Crafts shop.

For my card today I used the absolutely precious Wee Stamps image, Daphne, designed by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy Stamps. Isn't that little darling the sweetest thing, bringing spring/summer joy with her daffodil! She was colored with Copics and Promarkers, adding touches of Prisma Glitter for her wings and Wink of Stella to the daffodil. The base and double matting is Bazzill and the DP is from the Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics paper pad. For the horizontal I used some Natural Cotton Lace from Wild Orchid Crafts topped with PTI satin lace tied into a double flat bow. The sentiment is from the NEW Life's Moments sentiment set designed by Simonne Clay of SC Designs for Whimsy Stamps. The sentiment was cut out using the new and gorgeous NEW Fancy Label Die. The card was finished with some WOC Self-Adhesive Pearls,  Daffodils, Mulberry Leaves, and Decorative Metal Corner.

Thanks so much for your visit!! Have a beautiful week!! Big hugs from Jacque!!

A Summer Day!!

I have used all Wild Orchid Crafts products for the floral treatment as well as the Self-Adhesive Rhinestones:

Hip Rosebuds
Gypsophilia Flowers On Stem

Fabulous, Wonderful Friend Canister

A very Happy Day to everyone!! We are so happy to see that you have visited us today to see how we have used some of the lovely products from the Wild Orchid Crafts shop.

I have made a LITTLE gift container to hold some butter mints for a friend. The pictures are a little misleading because the canister is no more than 2.5 inches (6 cm) tall. And I apologize for my photography skills but in real life all of the pinks are the same color but I can't get them to photograph as the same color...sigh...

I used a clear plastic container and covered it with DP from the Maja Sofiero collection. For the side I also used Flat-Back Pearl String, some pre-pleated trim from my stash, Vintage Seam Binding tied into double bows to anchor a couple of heart charms from the Mixed Heart Charm Set. The sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamps Mini Chalkboard Set.

The top panel is cut from the SB Classic and Petite Scalloped Circles. I added two sizes of Open Roses, some tiny 4 mm Rosebuds, a Cameo (which I don't see in the shop today), and a tiny bow made with very narrow satin ribbon.

Thank you so much for your visit today and we look forward to seeing you again real soon!! Until the next time, big hugs from Jacque!
