Wee Winter Friends

I’m starting early with Christmas cards this year, and have completed my first one.  Where has the first half of this year gone?

I love using pink on Christmas cards, so pretty.

Two romantically shabby cards

Morning all, I've two cards to share today, both using the delicious Cut Outs that Wild Orchid Crafts have in store.  They are so pretty and easy to use.  I painted mine up, I prefer the fresh look a coat or two of white paint gives them, although they can be used as is.

The first card uses the pretty Louvre Frame with Butterflies Cut Out.  I painted the whole thing white then added a soft green on the leaves.  I also added some glitter to the whole thing once the paint was dry

A close up of the sweet little frame

And some Wild Orchid Crafts floral pretty

For the second card, I’ve used the Blueberry Swirls Little Gate (window) Cut Out.  I LOVE this one, I think it would be perfect for so many different themes – wedding, confirmation, thinking of you, you name it!

I popped some narrow organza ribbon into the floral arrangement, once the glue had set I used a heat gun to shrivel the ribbon a bit to give it a more shabby look

The detail on these Cut Outs is phenomenal.

Lil heffalump

I love elephants, love them!  So when I got this stamp I had to colour it up right away, this little cutie watching the butterflies is just too stinking cute.

Finished off with the usual WOC gorgeousness ♥

Home Sweet Home

My daughter asked me to make a New Home card, and this funky little house stamp was just the ticket.

I cut a circle from the top layer and raised that with foam pads, I then adhered the house with more foam pads to give extra dimension.

And of course it wouldn’t be one of my cards without a total floral explosion

Eggstra Special

Morning, here’s a “not” Easter card seeing as they are something I don’t make or send.  I had this little stamp knocking about so decided to use it for my “not” Easter card.

Love love love the colour of these flowers, so fresh and pretty.

Little Mermaid

Morning, here’s a sea-themed card from me today featuring the sweetest Little Mermaid digi stamp I think I have ever seen!

I hope the texture that I added with modelling paste and a stencil is showing up in the photo below, it’s peeking out from the delicious Wild Orchid Crafts flowers together with some die cut bubbles that I filled with glossy accents.

Morning!  I’m sharing a shabby chic card today.  I love using peach and green together.

I popped in some looped organza ribbon which, once the glue had dried, I blasted with a heat gun to give a more shabby, wrinkly look.  It worked a treat.

And a peek at the inside, which compliments the front of the card.

All embellishments are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
