Christmas frame

Hello, Monika here :)
Today I have for you my last Christmas inspiration - a Christmas frame decorated with  holly leaves, roses and Pretty Flori red flower.

Using holly leaves I made a wreath, then I added roses and big flower. Under the wreath I adhered a diecut painted gold and some vintage metal embellishments. As a final touch I added self adhesive pearls and some red beads.

Different colors on Christmas Cards

Hello crafty souls Ulrika here!

If you have followed my work here at Wild Orchid Crafts you know I really love playing with different colors and color combinations! I enjoy to be a bit untraditional when it comes to colors! Today I have two different Christmas cards to show you. One in blue, green and white and one in gold, purple/lilac and beige. 

This card has many layers with papers, die-cuts and flowers! 

Different shades of blue with a little bit of green and white looks really fresh!

To add a little bit more wintery feeling I used fake snow on my flowers and on some parts of my card.

I really love gold! I think it looks really fancy with the purple/lilac colors with the gold details. 

A little bit of gold glitter Stickles on my flowers tie together the flowers with the other gold embellishments in a nice way.

Thank you for visiting the Wold Orchid Craft blog today! I will see you here again after Christmas so I wish you a warm and loving Christmas! Hugs from Ulrika!

Christmas style ATC

Hello crafty souls Ulrika here again!

I love creating projects with a Christmas theme so much that I needed to make an extra blog post this week! Today I have three ATC with lots of gold and stunning flowers from WOC to share with you. If you´re not familiar with ATC the size is always 2,5x3,5.

 When you make ATC it´s perfect to use your scraps! On my ATC today I tried to make them in the same style as if I had made a regular sized Christmas card. 

 It´s a bit difficult to take photos with all that sparkle but I hope you can see all the cute details! 

The Berries together with the beautiful Roses and cute mini Sweethart flowers really give my ATC a elegant and pretty look!

 I wanted the flowers to stand out a bit from all that gold so I let them be bare without any glitter this time. I only added some of the golden micro beads on some of them.

To get some interesting texture I also added some gold colored Stamens between the flowers.

Thank you for visiting the Wild Orchid Crafts blog today!

Hugs from Ulrika!

Gold Double Head Pearl Stamens - MKX-566

Miniature Mixed Green Sweetheart Blossom Flowers - MKX-397

White Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hello crafty souls Ulrika here!

Today I have a Christmas card with many layers of paper. I wanted the eye to focus on my handmade Poinsettias and the nice words. Therefore I made many frames and the smallest one is around my words. I painted the cute stars green and added rhinestones. When I took my photos I realized that one of them has fallen off! So that I need to fix before I send the card to someone dear to me! 

 I really love working with the foamiran! Today I left it all white and only added my painted spray. To get some sparkle I added metallic thread and I also used the beautiful metallic corner embellishments.

Thank you for visiting the Wild Orchid Craft blog today!

Hugs from Ulrika!

Green Hearts for Christmas

Hello crafty souls Ulrika here!

I really like to totally change bargain buys! I bought these cute hearts 50% off and totally gave them a makeover! They were white with dragonfly stickers on when I bought them.

 First I painted them with gesso and then I added some texture with a stencil and modeling paste. Then I painted the hearts with a really shiny green color and also added two different shades of metallique wax. After the hearts was dry properly the fun begin with adding lots of flowers!

 I mixed Roses, Lily Flowers, Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms and Berries. To get even more texture I added two sizes of Art-stones from Prima, Glassfillers and a ton of glitter.

Thank You for visiting Wild Orchid Crafts blog today!

Rustic christmas card

Hello dear friends, Evgenia Petzer with you today. I am sharing a new christmas card that I made using the new papers from Maja design and combined them with the...roses, and I think its still perfect for christmas. I have picked the colors of my roses that are very close to the papers, so they matched perfectly together.

close ups:

 I have sprinkled the larger roses with some "snow" glitter.

 I love how this small artificial balls look on the pine trees and look at this beautiful pearl star (perfect for christmas- from WOC- see the product list below)
