Table Top Christmas Tree


Happy Day everyone!!! I hope you are into a wonderful week and we are so happy to see you here today!

A friend asked me to make her a red rose table top Christmas tree so of course the first place I went for some gorgeous red roses was Wild Orchid Crafts!! I apologize for the picture but I could not get the wrinkles out of the backdrop. I finally found a small 24" (60mm) tree at some website which has 66 tips and I began by using a white maribou boa as garland and tiny 3-D snowflakes. Then Wild Orchid Crafts took over!! I used 25mm (1") Red Organza Ribbon for each of the 66 flat bows and used varying sizes of WOC Red Roses: 35mm Trellis Roses, 25mm Wild Roses and 20mm Open Roses. Finally I topped the tree with a multi-loop Red Organza Bow. I didn't make a skirt to cover the base of the tree since my friend already had something she wants to use!!

Thank you so much for your visit and we hope you will come back each and every day to see some wonderful inspirations! Big hugs from Jacque!!

"Envelope card"

Today I will show you a envelope card.

How to fold the card.
You need a patterned paper 12x12. 
Fold the paper on the middle.

 Fold again.
 Fold like this on the other side too.
 Fold both sides of the back so you get a "pocket" in front and back of the card.

 Glue the bottom of the card on both side.
  
The card is ready to decorate.





Embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts
Open roses 10mm, 20mm, closed rosebuds 4mm,

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by :o))

Storage Ideas for Your Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers!

We had a special request for ideas on how to store all those gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. One of my favorite things next to crafting is organizing! I don't know why, but I love it! haha! Sometimes you need extra help with ideas so here is a few from the design team!

Bev stores her flowers in these containers that you can find HERE!



She lays them on their sides in a cabinet.






I stash mine away in a closet in this!  I roll it out when ready for the flowers. Mine are pretty old, but they are similar to these HERE.



Jacque stores her flowers in these drawers.  She has several color categorized drawers.



Pops uses bisquit jars that you get 3 for £1 from the pound shop.

She also uses little pull down bins.  She chops off the stems on these, and stores them above her desk 



 Well, I hope this gives you ideas for storage of your own.  

Thanks for checking out the Wild Orchid Crafts blog today!

Happy Crafting!
