Sweet Springtime Love

Hello, treasured friends! I am unexpectedly away but will be back soon to sprinkle love all over your beautiful blogs! I'm posting today on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog with a sweet springtime-inspired card. Like many, I am eager for the beauty of spring after an atypical winter. Thankfully gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers bloom all year long.♥︎
The sweetness of spring guided my design, where animal friends frolic amongst the stunning WOC goodies.♥︎ This was made for another cancer warrior who needs to be surrounded by pure sweetness! I used several Wycinanka chippies, all of which have been covered in crackle paste. The tiny birdies are from Memory Box dies, while the wavy border is from Marianne Design.
I am thoroughly in love with mini-sweetheart blossoms... they couldn't be more precious! I nestled in a few sunshiny yellow ones for little sunbeams. The butterfly resting atop the swirly Easter egg chippie is from Sue Wilson. Gorgeous and whimsical WOC trims are layered and divided with a beautiful flat-back pearl string.
Even the foliage is sweetened with pink... I can't seem to stop using these darling colorful leaves.♥︎ It's frigid outside, but spring is in full force all over my craft desk. :) The gorgeous papers are from LemonCraft's Just Love Me collection.♥︎

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a lovely day!♥︎

Sweet Encouragement

Happy Sunday, sweet friends! I'm posting today on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog, which fills me with warm fuzzies. Dreams do come true. ♥︎

Just as this adventure begins, sadly my DT term with Wycinanka is reaching its end. I wish all the best to the new team they will recruit! What an incredible experience it has been! It is an honor to design for such an inspiring company, with an owner even more wonderful than the goodies he creates. Every day with them was a blessing and I am grateful for the opportunity bestowed upon me. ♥︎

Today I have an encouragement card to share, blossoming in hope for a college student battling cancer for the second time. Emma's kindness and courage inspire me every day. ♥︎
Wild Orchid Crafts and Wycinanka products deliver beauty beyond measure. ♥︎ The lovely Wycinanka Blueberry Swirls Frame was turned into a trellis of sorts, where stunning WOC blossoms (and hope) abound. This Hot Air Balloon is one of my all-time favorite chippies and it serves as the perfect avenue to carry my prayers to Emma.
Gorgeous pink and white Autumn Blossoms and Babies Breath ruffle atop lovely WOC Seam Binding. A Bead Berry Spray Cluster and sweet two-tone leaves are nestled within.
Smaller clusters of lovely flowers accent my frame, with touches of pink sprinkled throughout. My chippies have been sponged with white acrylic paint.
Self-adhesive Pearls accent my hot air balloon for a touch of elegance, while a Heart Pearl Bead adorns the delicate garden frame background.
Rose Organza Trim (small) lines the bottom of my card and I have trimmed my LDRS Creative sentiment with Net Lace. The beautiful LemonCraft papers are a combination of patterns from Tiny Miracles and Just Love Me. Their papers are so dreamy! The base and elegant background are Sue Wilson's Delicate Garden. I hope this brings a smile to her heart of gold. ♥️

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day! ♥︎

Special Friend

Happy Wednesday, sparkly friends! I'm fluttering in with the start of a new challenge at 7 Kids College Fund! The theme is always Anything Goes and the winner will receive a generous gift certificate to the store.♥️

I created a card for a treasured friend, showcasing some newer additions to the store from Wild Orchid Crafts, Wycinanka, and Pion Design. So many dreamy product lines.♥️
My friend is everything beautiful with a heart of pure gold and I want to remind her how special she is to me.♥️The gorgeous papers are from Pion Design's Where the Roses Grow, including the stunning vintage lady. She is centered within Wycinanka's lovely Charming Oval Frame, which I covered in crackle paste.
I'm ecstatic that Kelly and Karen are now offering Wild Orchid Crafts flowers! The sweet arrangements throughout my card consist of English Roses, Chrysanthemums, Plum Roses, Vintage Roses, Cherry BlossomsMiniature Sweetheart Blossoms, and Bead Berry Spray Cluster.
Sunflower Pearl Lace beautifully ruffles along the bottom, which I paired with crinkle ribbon from DL.Art's Coffeehouse Bundle 3. The stunning die cut frame atop my card is Sue Wilson's Delicate Garden. Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourishes frolic within the flowers. 

I hope she enjoys this little gift as much as I enjoyed creating it for her. Be sure to check out the delightful inspiration from my teamies and play along for a chance to win a gift certificate to 7 Kids! Thank you for visiting and have a sparkly day.♥️

Valentine Gift Packaging

Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful week! Today begins a new challenge at Deep Ocean, which is all things Hearts!♥️ One of my Wycinanka tasks is to create gift packaging for Valentine's Day, which is perfect for this challenge.

To hold a little gift of love, I prettied up a fun Wycinanka Pyramid Box inside and out.♥️
And now for a peek inside...
For my lovey-dovey box, I chose papers from LemonCraft's House of Roses and gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.♥️
Since it is to be handled, I kept the exterior fairly simple with just a few touches of sweetness. A Wycinanka wreath is adorned with a two-tone miniature sweetheart blossom and tucked beneath a pretty wild rose. The heart trim from Live & Love Crafts is one of my favorites... I couldn't resist wrapping up the box with love.♥️
The gorgeous wreath inside has darling hearts along it, although I unintentionally covered up many of them. The I Love You chippie is nestled within to deliver my heartfelt greeting. Along the corners and behind the flowers are tiny hearts and butterflies

A little present will be tucked inside, but I wanted it decorated to also be a gift in and of itself. Be sure to check out the inspirations from my fabulous teamies! Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly day.♥️

Anniversary Love and Wild Orchid Crafts DT!

Hello, sweet friends! I am excited beyond belief to share that I am one of the new Design Team members for Wild Orchid Crafts! My love for this company is no secret, as their products have blossomed all over my work for several years. My teamies are exceptionally talented and it is an honor to design alongside them. ♥️
Color me sparkly... I still cannot believe it. ♥️
To celebrate, I made a card for my parents 54th anniversary pairing Wycinanka chippies with new and old Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. The pretty pink flowers blend in a bit in this picture, but stand out beautifully in person. The gorgeous papers are from LemonCraft's Heart Painted collection, a beautiful gift from a treasured friend. The lovely Wycinanka Charming frame was covered in crackle paste, as was their sweet birdhouse.

Love is from the Mr. & Mrs. Ornament, while the darling garland on top is also from the same collection. Hugging the 40mm Trellis Rose are pink Babies Breath, which is my first time using WOC fabric flowers. They are stunning! Hip Rosebuds, Open Roses, and Mini Sweetheart Blossoms are sprinkled throughout.
The precious birdies are Memory Box Resting Birds. My love-dovey foliage is a combination of Magnolia Heart Swirls and Impression Obsession Heart Stems. The pretty butterfly is a Sue Wilson die. The Sweet Love crinkle ribbon is from DL.Art's Valentine Bundle and the lace is from Live & Love Crafts. So many gorgeous products to celebrate a lifetime of love. ♥️

Lovely challenges entered:
 *DL.Art Thankful Thursday~ Anything Goes
 *Scrapy Land~ Anything Goes (I used Impression Obsession, Magnolia, Memory Box, and Sue Wilson dies)

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a beautiful day! ♥️
