Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're having a blessed week. I'm popping in today to share a card celebrating the gift of friendship. Truly the friendships are the sweetest and loveliest part of the crafty journey. I made this to ensure a crafty pal knows just how much she is treasured by me and all who know her. ♥︎<br />

<b>Nature's Garden</b> is one of the newest <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/"><b>Crafter's Companion</b></a> collections and to say I am enamored would be an understatement. It is endlessly beautiful! The <b>Cottage Window</b> is exquisite in design and I couldn't resist tucking a sweet kitty within it. (The kitty is from the Create-a-Card <b>Fireplace Accessories</b> Christmas set.) The sweet birdie and smallest butterfly are also from the Cottage Window. I love the little added elements that come with it. And oh how pretty are the papers in this collection! So much to love.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The floral arrangement is comprised of the four Stamp and Die flowers in the collection. They are stunning and perfectly represent ever-blossoming friendship love. I used <b>Harmony Quick-Dry Ink Pads</b> for a tonal design. The <b>Doily Border</b> is my new favorite border! I suspect you will see it regularly. ;) I layered two <b>Beautiful Butterflies</b> atop it for a double dose of whimsy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Friend sentiment is from the <b>Gemini Grand Decor</b> set, which came with the Limited Edition Gemini Junior that was recently on HSN. My precious hubby blessed me with it, for which I am grateful. ♥︎</div>

Hello, dear friends! I am fluttering back into this crafty community (consistently!) for good, which I have missed so dearly while balancing health situations. I am delighted that <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/"><b>Crafter's Companion</b></a> is keeping me on for another term and blogging will be a larger part of it this time!<br />
<br />
I am celebrating with Sara's newest <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=sara+signature+nautical"><b>Signature Collection: Nautical</b></a>!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This fun collection was on HSN last week! For my first card, I drew and cut sailboat layers the best I could as I have such an affinity for shaped cards of this sort! I used an abundance of goodies from the collection, which I will list below. The papers are beautiful, as are the stamps and dies. The charms are amongst my favorites. Truly this collection is a stunner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my second card, I showcased one of the beautiful embossing folders. After embossing the <b>Ship's Anchor</b> with watercolor paper, I inked around the anchor with Harmony Ink Pads in <b>Aqua Blues</b>, after which I added a few splashes of water. To highlight the anchor, I inked over it with <b>Precious Metals</b> Midas Ink Pads. To keep the spotlight on the folder, I simply used the lovely coordinating twine to secure my sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a blast creating with this collection and will certainly be playing with it again soon, as there are so many inspiration goodies in the set! It makes me excited for summer adventures. :) Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day!</div>

Hello, my sparkly friends! Happy weekend.♥️I'm fluttering in to share a wee bit more of my recent work for <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.com/"><b>Crafter's Companion</b></a>! I've been having so much fun in my crafty space.<br />
<br />
My first few cards feature the new <b>Split Invitation Dies</b>. The detailing in the dies is exquisite!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJAyaWbzJnoIqdMjMO4DyY7Mz8RbyKqRERWMoZDSulMx38FqIn3zoGKWrZ5T5yShfrPvSXSYvj5WXxzlJGHxl9efvApO8f1sKSbdtvj8RfjEnmku7BYZBZhCCQqzCPquJ7sCrI6Xrs4iyb/s1600/Opulent+Henna+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1143" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJAyaWbzJnoIqdMjMO4DyY7Mz8RbyKqRERWMoZDSulMx38FqIn3zoGKWrZ5T5yShfrPvSXSYvj5WXxzlJGHxl9efvApO8f1sKSbdtvj8RfjEnmku7BYZBZhCCQqzCPquJ7sCrI6Xrs4iyb/s640/Opulent+Henna+CC.jpg" width="608" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the lovely <b>Opulent Henna</b> die to create a fancy edged card, blossoming in hope. The gorgeous patterned papers, ribbon, and peachy pearls are from a recent CC subscription box. The shiny peach paper is from the <b>Parisian Luxury Pearl Card</b> collection. The flower is (another!) <b>Layered Peony</b>, this time sprinkled with mini prills. There are endless options with the split dies and I am eager to play with them again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV5Cxi7MMGCxDbe87rjfp917UuezkCoV5uev8XBVhMN9YRw6k514qQKAJlo3YnJuwdD3mASw_JSlzbxWH3ZN1ipagGC9hL2NFfNvyjVA6Yfr2gXaY4W3HCJT4qb4OYwHra80DxqIE6eQ-s/s1600/Elegant+Swirls+Invitation+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1178" data-original-width="1200" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV5Cxi7MMGCxDbe87rjfp917UuezkCoV5uev8XBVhMN9YRw6k514qQKAJlo3YnJuwdD3mASw_JSlzbxWH3ZN1ipagGC9hL2NFfNvyjVA6Yfr2gXaY4W3HCJT4qb4OYwHra80DxqIE6eQ-s/s640/Elegant+Swirls+Invitation+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the stunning <b>Elegant Swirls</b> die, which I used to make an invitation card. The bottom die has been cut out with the optional flap dies to create a pocket, while the top sweetly folds down as a closure. I used gorgeous pink paper is <b>Parisian Luxury Pearl Card</b> so it is beautifully shimmery. For my 'closure' I centered a lace die with a lovely heart charm from the <b>Paris</b> collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9-5PIRZsenwS9-_dPx5K6mB_DkIcb_xd5MErjog5LN7G3Zz46A60iV05oA1IogCTnAVCF3uNINOFXLWKCACsKPO6B9hUKqNVgRzHy4XGN2Z7buyUQccROd52EzRMMT74hFvX8QtRAKD31/s1600/Elegant+Swirls+Card+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1135" data-original-width="1200" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9-5PIRZsenwS9-_dPx5K6mB_DkIcb_xd5MErjog5LN7G3Zz46A60iV05oA1IogCTnAVCF3uNINOFXLWKCACsKPO6B9hUKqNVgRzHy4XGN2Z7buyUQccROd52EzRMMT74hFvX8QtRAKD31/s640/Elegant+Swirls+Card+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this card I nestled part of the <b>Elegant Swirls</b> die within a <b>Biarritz Heart Frame</b>, which is inked up in <b>Pink Tulip</b> and <b>Pale Fig Harmony Inks</b>. Truly there is no end in beautiful ways to use these dies. The whimsical patterned papers are from a CC subscription box, while the purple is from their pearlescent collection. The butterfly is from the <b>Flutterby Create-a-Card</b> set. The sweet little sentiment is from the <b>Peony Collection</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-Ie5mIaM3Ikle2HqJ5RRQnWK2TzZV3Qp93qDqNHLdHr0xBIW3lf4ixrCnQWcTGJ9K2zXO9PMbNkNgHyki1zx_-AfrdVG4pCE1O5yLZnyW42bo6FKVRuCaJJgcU42TsdjxwRKeA5qwDvO/s1600/Decorative+Foliage+EF+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1066" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-Ie5mIaM3Ikle2HqJ5RRQnWK2TzZV3Qp93qDqNHLdHr0xBIW3lf4ixrCnQWcTGJ9K2zXO9PMbNkNgHyki1zx_-AfrdVG4pCE1O5yLZnyW42bo6FKVRuCaJJgcU42TsdjxwRKeA5qwDvO/s640/Decorative+Foliage+EF+CC.jpg" width="568" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, I had another play with one of the new 3D embossing folders! This is <b>Decorative Foliage</b>, which I have showcased using a technique I learned from the fabulous Jennifer McGuire. I taped around the edge of a white piece of yardstick to make a frame, inked up the center with <b>Straw Bale</b>, <b>Oasis</b>, and <b>Parakeet Harmony Inks</b>, and then embossed it with what has become my favorite folder! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To keep the focus on the embossing, I simply added layers of luxury cardstock behind it and topped it with a double lace bow. The sentiment is from the <b>Vintage Chic</b> stamp set, which is stamped upon circles from the <b>Ornate Circles Accordian</b> die. I love the beauty that can come from even the simplest of techniques.</div>

Hello, sweet friends! I'm fluttering in to share a few of my favorite samples from the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.com/"><b>Crafter's Companion</b></a> shows on HSN yesterday. It is pure joy designing for them and I'm certain you will love their new goodies as much as I do.♥️<br />

Two sets of <b>Silhouette Animal Dies</b> are part of the release, which I adore! (Be still my animal-loving heart!) I created a tent fold for the precious kitty, adorned with goodies from the <b>Peony Collection</b>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sweet <b>Silhouette Puppy</b>, cut out in the loveliest metallic cardstock, is celebrating in the same Peony collections. Pretty Vintage Lace and a sweet banner add to the festivities. The sentiment is from the Mix and Match Birthday collection.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I couldn't resist creating a Christmas card with the <b>Silhouette Stag</b>. The papers and sentiment are from the signature Winter Wonderland range, one of my festive favorites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDByOz3OZbk7G4TfUnQWBiehpudCwLKx7chM8vVBhpiZsjBrDs3DcR8aNda8yt_rT1l9DUivdSYWwFt-tro1nQiuzYmd9-3LJ-FYn7zq7ESp65RVeRLrHXRZSNo8bD5x1Zl_YMgJeAr7sV/s1600/Inspire+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1137" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDByOz3OZbk7G4TfUnQWBiehpudCwLKx7chM8vVBhpiZsjBrDs3DcR8aNda8yt_rT1l9DUivdSYWwFt-tro1nQiuzYmd9-3LJ-FYn7zq7ESp65RVeRLrHXRZSNo8bD5x1Zl_YMgJeAr7sV/s640/Inspire+CC.jpg" width="606" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also part of this launch is a new collection of 3D embossing folders. Truly there are no words to express how much I treasure Sara's embossing folders! My background embossed design is the new <b>Ornate Flourish</b>, while my sentiment is from Set 3 of the new <b>Sentiment</b> embossing folders. Both were inked up with CC's spectacular <b>Metallic Waxes</b>. They are creamy, dreamy, and completely inspiring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My layering throughout my cards is once again with luxury cardstock. I better order more soon because I cannot imagine being without. ;)</div>

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful week. I'm popping in to share <b><i>two</i></b> sweet little cards with you!♥️<br />
<br />
Next Tuesday, March 5th, is the next HSN Craft Day, which means a plethora of new <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/"><b>Crafter's Companion</b></a> goodies will soon be launched!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1Hf-PXsE0tPihGFBACWxavmA16iM82og9C_wn-DnCDIhQaCkjPAhReWi3zQGaiOQHj2R3mqDqncdEiuH1zPdhe_3xbLaDwn2AtnN8XihXVjf-3PfkcrnPcSnqGWdjSiBiYdlGF2zZcg9/s1600/With+Love+Stamp+and+Die+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1190" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1Hf-PXsE0tPihGFBACWxavmA16iM82og9C_wn-DnCDIhQaCkjPAhReWi3zQGaiOQHj2R3mqDqncdEiuH1zPdhe_3xbLaDwn2AtnN8XihXVjf-3PfkcrnPcSnqGWdjSiBiYdlGF2zZcg9/s640/With+Love+Stamp+and+Die+CC.jpg" width="634" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are lovely sets of new <b>Circle Stamp and Dies</b>, which I adore for their whimsical nature and versatility. :) For my With Love sample, I paired the new set with <b>Vintage Tea Party</b> paper. I stamped the hearts in gold because you all know I treasure hearts of gold. The sentiment is layered upon a <b>Scalloped Edge Circle</b> Nesting Die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdSqLnAAMZt0w48aLdYYE_IpEXS6Znzhnm0gEHkHxWYsMljk7kEwouhGn-AwVw00Z6N04WMH3mtlniSu8x-Gs83oNUPN3S3xQUM53Iy4IclaKt2qrO6G_lNzJJXmc_kA316rgyh54LiIF/s1600/Circle+With+Love+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="1200" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdSqLnAAMZt0w48aLdYYE_IpEXS6Znzhnm0gEHkHxWYsMljk7kEwouhGn-AwVw00Z6N04WMH3mtlniSu8x-Gs83oNUPN3S3xQUM53Iy4IclaKt2qrO6G_lNzJJXmc_kA316rgyh54LiIF/s640/Circle+With+Love+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pretty frame for my card is actually the decorative panels to the <b>Ornate Circle Accordion Die</b>. I thought it would make an ideal border for a loving sentiment, so I used pearly paper from the <b>Parisian Pearl Card</b> collection. (This is my favorite pearl pink ever!) The frolicking butterflies are from the <b>Flutterby </b>Create-a-Card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCTdowtlfXI-Slw80zcPYNS64jR5yuzy02F9ofJ01YypD-2vNm7cQDbu-cWM_XKjdqbvgLGS7QtcwHxuy7jLQk8kRKiRdWeb8Ay2VHQYISDutr2C9dQqs7ajbBYZxCFJV7G40IXE0uvz50/s1600/Birthday+Circle+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1093" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCTdowtlfXI-Slw80zcPYNS64jR5yuzy02F9ofJ01YypD-2vNm7cQDbu-cWM_XKjdqbvgLGS7QtcwHxuy7jLQk8kRKiRdWeb8Ay2VHQYISDutr2C9dQqs7ajbBYZxCFJV7G40IXE0uvz50/s640/Birthday+Circle+CC.jpg" width="582" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love birthday cards, so I was excited to play with the <b>Happy Birthday</b> set! I colored up the cupcake with <b>Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers</b>, adding a few peach pearls to the frosting. The papers are from the <b>Sew Lovely</b> paper collection, which I continue to reach for on a regular basis. CC has such pretty papers. :) The sentiment is cut with a gorgeous CC teal pearl paper. There are nine(!) Stamp and Dies, each one perfect for so many occasions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello, my precious friends! The last several months have been challenging but I am happy to return to the beautiful blogging community of crafters. I have dearly missed you and will be sprinkling your blogs with love this weekend and Monday.♥️<br />
<br />
Being on the <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/"><b>Crafter's Companion</b></a> Design Team has been an immense blessing! I used some of my favorite new goodies to create a birthday card for a special friend.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxrTEXGo28T8CXpaSyNeKQLQWpJvYh_p9ALKWqUio5-_GnixQRMUqeNUzxILvpV5f6tTPlS58fSG-HuoS1qBBYytj48AzNtOghr2qpuDRFUwdwM4uM8Jtr0U_HQt07N6YkZkNXN_RzzI_/s1600/Birthday+Love+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1179" data-original-width="1200" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxrTEXGo28T8CXpaSyNeKQLQWpJvYh_p9ALKWqUio5-_GnixQRMUqeNUzxILvpV5f6tTPlS58fSG-HuoS1qBBYytj48AzNtOghr2qpuDRFUwdwM4uM8Jtr0U_HQt07N6YkZkNXN_RzzI_/s640/Birthday+Love+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was my first time coloring with Spectrum Noir markers! I used the <b>Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend</b> markers in Corals and <b>Dull Greens</b>. The lovely <b>Peony Corner Bloom</b> stamp and <b>papers</b> are from the <b>Peony Collection</b>. This is truly one of the most gorgeous collections I have ever had! The large flower is created from the <b>Layered Peony Stamp and Die</b> set. The petals are stamped with the <b>Blush</b> <b>Midas Ink Pad</b>, while the leaves are stamped with <b>Sandstorm Harmony Ink</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The image is nestled within the exquisite <b>Biarritz Frame Cut & Emboss Folder</b>. It makes my heart flutter and I love that it cuts and embosses in one pass. I have lightly inked it in <b>Straw Bale Harmony Ink</b> for a touch of sunshine. My sentiment, also stamped in Blush Midas Ink, is from a combination of the <b>Happy Birthday</b> and <b>Love, Laugh, Laughter Mix and Match</b> sets. The pretty green floral border is from the <b>Parisian Floral Borders & Corners</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have a beautiful weekend, sparkly friends! I hope it is filled with everything sweet. ♥️</div>

Hello, sparkly friends! I hope your week is off to a beautiful start.♥︎ I'm popping in with two little cards today.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the big day on HSN when a plethora of new <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn"><b>Crafter's Companion goodies</b></a> will be released! I am super excited about the new sentiment dies. They are gorgeous and make a lovely card all on their own.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cipua2sTAI1SHQZcNNolPBbYQh6UbJ-qTsJVdNxZanUHrTNE-4FbjEhRtfnDkGasKOpmQc93a1Qlw8cxEHHoXZfuXXCWNwt64uF8vwcuXHIfX6IdpjAvvTZfa7rJtKvdJxkcifIVWaKk/s1600/With+Love+CC+edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1171" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cipua2sTAI1SHQZcNNolPBbYQh6UbJ-qTsJVdNxZanUHrTNE-4FbjEhRtfnDkGasKOpmQc93a1Qlw8cxEHHoXZfuXXCWNwt64uF8vwcuXHIfX6IdpjAvvTZfa7rJtKvdJxkcifIVWaKk/s640/With+Love+CC+edit.jpg" width="624" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not surprisingly, one of my favorites is <i>With Love</i>. You know my sappy heart, after all! I adore the elegant curlicues and sweet hearts nestled within. My butterfly is from the <b>Flutterby</b> Create-a-Card set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY3Y75FsJEjzBl8HI-9Rn6fpNrDrCPnQN4R0tQMLCq7jIntK2vDSbRaWT0nCQhCAQ1XhzHacZ7-Lq0nj9gCQYZQQIlWLRyyuS2iJd5nHBpvmS9sG7GYiaWJNaMDFc_pZUtUyuVp3sWaYe/s1600/With+Love+2+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="1200" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY3Y75FsJEjzBl8HI-9Rn6fpNrDrCPnQN4R0tQMLCq7jIntK2vDSbRaWT0nCQhCAQ1XhzHacZ7-Lq0nj9gCQYZQQIlWLRyyuS2iJd5nHBpvmS9sG7GYiaWJNaMDFc_pZUtUyuVp3sWaYe/s640/With+Love+2+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Isn't it dreamy? I paired it with the <b>Vintage Doily</b> die from the Vintage Tea Party collection (split in quarters to use as corner detailing) and a <b>Decorative Ribbon</b> die on top from the Sew Lovely collection. Once again I have used sweet papers from <b>Sew Lovely</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPC1ZVuH2FPH98MzqiYGeVYnPSkigiVgD5oplUH4iIPH7GBugp6BeASBSRitD5LVS2e9_kBE2s2g0c4sHADXxnHCBB4v-p7rs_ik1hMasSQ6t9xgYkJkADuxDeamZ6I0IbineVvPhx1bgC/s1600/Thank+You+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="734" data-original-width="1200" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPC1ZVuH2FPH98MzqiYGeVYnPSkigiVgD5oplUH4iIPH7GBugp6BeASBSRitD5LVS2e9_kBE2s2g0c4sHADXxnHCBB4v-p7rs_ik1hMasSQ6t9xgYkJkADuxDeamZ6I0IbineVvPhx1bgC/s640/Thank+You+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also new is this beautiful way of expressing gratitude. I paired it with one of the loveliest pieces of paper from the NEW <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Roaring 20's</a></b> paper pack! There are gorgeous areas throughout every sheet of 12x12 paper. I offset a shadow layer of my sentiment since I used it without the background outline die. I couldn't possibly cover up this gorgeous paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lAF100DQBEkC6SWqWmc862c06mcfXOwYhvmg_Q6gStia9kPF65lc9uKUYBTmEJhQb-lPX7XYF2fr8_U9F6fcPmMSsThqJcAXtJ6-BWT66i5UWCxLngRoELfKLEPc38j_GfxXbd-nQDug/s1600/Thank+You+2+CC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="1200" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lAF100DQBEkC6SWqWmc862c06mcfXOwYhvmg_Q6gStia9kPF65lc9uKUYBTmEJhQb-lPX7XYF2fr8_U9F6fcPmMSsThqJcAXtJ6-BWT66i5UWCxLngRoELfKLEPc38j_GfxXbd-nQDug/s640/Thank+You+2+CC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Requiring only the simplest embellishing, I cut out a sweet fluttery friend from one of the sheets and added a touch of lace on top. Oh the joy of crafting again.♥︎</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sunshiny day. :)</div>

Hello, sweet friends! I cannot thank you enough for the love you have shown me over the last 8.5 months while I was away. I treasure you and have missed this precious community. It has been a tumultuous year but I am thrilled to return to my beloved crafty space.<br />
<br />
My crafty return comes with exciting news. I am honored (and stunned) to be joining the <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/">Crafter's Companion</a> Design Team</b>! Color me sparkly! I adore this company for countless reasons that go far beyond the inspiring products they create. It honestly is nerve-wracking to start this journey after being away from crafting for so long, but everyone has been so encouraging. I love this team already.<br />

Next week is a huge week for Crafter's Companion, with a plethora of new releases! Sara (the creative mastermind behind CC) will be on <i>HSN</i> throughout the day on <i>November 6th</i> to pique your creativity in the loveliest ways. It's hard to choose favorites but <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Enchanted Forest</a></b> may win with the most magical goodies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYV1KuQiGdijOF3E_peWifWDIygjVLCrsL9gXBshNI6vxH5UjSi4ZBdJp-nHoHOcMl9TFNzZrU3E4jEzgbxq-DmXXkBFF-Tzs1_Q7Io5hmvfBJUaCVy5HpETv5p3dJr34GNEtEa8EJMIt/s1600/Cathedral+Window+Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="1200" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYV1KuQiGdijOF3E_peWifWDIygjVLCrsL9gXBshNI6vxH5UjSi4ZBdJp-nHoHOcMl9TFNzZrU3E4jEzgbxq-DmXXkBFF-Tzs1_Q7Io5hmvfBJUaCVy5HpETv5p3dJr34GNEtEa8EJMIt/s640/Cathedral+Window+Card.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Along with that bountiful collection, there are also necessities such as new nesting dies. I have used the <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Scalloped Circles</a></b> to make a card in the sweet cathedral window technique. Isn't it just darling? They are often placed like a square, but I've tilted mine and layered <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Scalloped</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Stitch Edge Squares</a></b> beneath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The gorgeous paper is from the <b>Sew Lovely</b> collection, a recent launch that I love! The beautiful sentiment is from a previous CC Subscription Box, which comes your way each month with a new theme/technique. This stamp is from the <b>Stamp & Die</b> box, which I have anchored with the new <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Scalloped</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.com/comingtohsn">Stitch Edge Hearts</a></b>. My sunshiny solid paper is their dreamy pearlescent <b>luxury cardstock</b>.</div>

Hello, precious friends! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. I'm sharing a soft and sweet encouragement card on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog today.♥︎<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A crafty friend of mine is a tough stretch, so I created this card to encourage her to embrace every tiny bit of magic she can find. (We do make the most wonderful friends in this community, don't we?) How I treasure these beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers! Every card is an indoor garden for the special recipient.♥︎</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I combined pink and white blossoms, which sparkle with a touch of Glamour Dust paint. A vintage crown pin (on special!) is nestled within. The dreamy papers are from Maja Design's Sofiero collection.♥︎</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
White Cotton Lace adorns the sides, while White Net Lace ruffles across my floral arrangement.♥︎ The lace floral corners are from my stash. I wanted to add softness to my bouquet without adding leaves, so I tucked in a few lace roses (inspired by my sweet teamie <a href="http://evgeniapetzer.blogspot.ru/"><b>Evgenia</b></a>!).</div>

Hello, treasured friends! I'm posting on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog today, sharing a celebratory card for a precious new baby. ♥︎<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soft and sweet is my favorite combination for baby cards (and all cards!), so I incorporated several Wild Orchid Crafts trims for supreme sweetness. ♥︎ The darling papers are from <u>Pion Design's Theodore and Bella</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SpN_vT4ccUfvfgC63PwFTpyDUdpssFppHIJ5CLTIfvh_cU69cIfAr2Ba7uvyj43-yE8YeGb7sizAUoJAk4IIb5e7h_qM__Lvc2YrdySys0QTqut3b-Tkg2rQdWsYjeryOmQzWdX2APA/s1600/Bella+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="784" data-original-width="800" height="626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SpN_vT4ccUfvfgC63PwFTpyDUdpssFppHIJ5CLTIfvh_cU69cIfAr2Ba7uvyj43-yE8YeGb7sizAUoJAk4IIb5e7h_qM__Lvc2YrdySys0QTqut3b-Tkg2rQdWsYjeryOmQzWdX2APA/s640/Bella+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ruffle trim flutters along the bottom, which I've topped with a gorgeous flat-back pearl sting. Up top is a pretty eyelet trim, which I truly adore. The curved border is a <u>Marianne Design</u> die. For extra ruffles, I crinkled up white vintage seam binding for my primary floral arrangement. ♥︎</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you seen the gorgeous metal embellishments in the store? I fell in love with the heart charm set (naturally!) and adhered one with pink Divine Twine. ♥︎ It's a lovely touch of pink and gold to my neutral palette card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello, sweet friends! After a bout with the dreaded flu bug, I am back in action and will be sprinkling your blogs with love later today! I hope you are healthy and happy.♥︎ I am posting on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a sweet pink birthday card.<br />
<br />
Blossoming in love for the special day, my bouquet is filled with roses, sweetheart blossoms, rosebuds, and gorgeous tulips. Oh the beauty of WOC.♥︎<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I combined Pink Mist and Mixed Pink flowers for a variety of pink shades, nestled alongside pure white beauties. ♥︎ The dreamy papers are from <u>Maja Design's Sofiero</u> collection. I kept the framed design mostly open because it's just so lovely.. I envision it as the butterflies dancing around a sweet scene, with darling rosebuds sprinkling atop the birthday girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bow is made with lovely Pink Tulip seam binding and my sentiment is trimmed with White Net Lace. (Yes, I have an affinity for doing that.) ♥︎ The pretty frame is <u>Tutti Design's Butterfly Oval</u>, which makes my heart happy.</div>

Hello, sweet friends! Happy New Year! I'm posting today on the <a href="http://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a sweet little card. I adore WOC purples so much that I couldn't resist making a card to coordinate with my previously posted tag.♥︎<br />

The pastel lilac <u>Cherry Blossoms</u> pair so beautifully with the deeper purple of the <u>English Rose</u> and <u>Gypsophila</u>. The largest flower is the stunning <u>Chelsea Rose</u>, one of my favorite additions to the WOC store last year.♥︎ My papers are from <u>LemonCraft's Violet Silence</u>.</div>

A heart crowns my <u>Anna Griffin</u> sentiment, as elegant as it is heartfelt. The pretty frame is from <u>Sue Wilson's Lauren</u> collection, which was a beautiful gift from a sweet friend. All of my flowers have been trimmed in <u>Glitter Paint</u> for sparkle.</div>

Merry Christmas Eve, sweet friends! I pray you have the loveliest celebrations of our dear Savior's birth. It has been a crazy year but I look forward to getting back on track with regular visiting in the new year now that I am mostly settled into our new home. It will be SO nice to leave you endless crafty love.<br />

Hello, sweet friends! My hubby and I moved into our new home and although boxes remain unfinished (including crafty goodies!), I'm grateful for new beginnings and sweet blessings. I will be catching up as soon as I can. Words cannot express how I miss you!<br />
<br />
I'm posting on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog today, sharing a festive inspiration. I have an affinity for traditional Christmas colors, so today I have a card in deep reds and emerald greens.♥️<br />

Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend! I'm posting today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a wee bit of birthday inspiration for a dear friend's special day. ♥︎<br />
<br />
Speaking of birthdays, I was blessed with some amazing crazy gifts on Friday for mine and I couldn't wait to put some to use!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6XMfF8h-SOzxSDZLPitrSlQ7an5d0wDj4oy170VBJgG2ykUTnBZYBnY6CRDwDxBl1xcKewsmN6A3IXoiDOvU2x85AkVWR8WMFENII9KuzB-iYtducRSzYm8fh_xk4E-SeFnjFX6Xm_4/s1600/Birthday+Wishes+WOC+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="725" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6XMfF8h-SOzxSDZLPitrSlQ7an5d0wDj4oy170VBJgG2ykUTnBZYBnY6CRDwDxBl1xcKewsmN6A3IXoiDOvU2x85AkVWR8WMFENII9KuzB-iYtducRSzYm8fh_xk4E-SeFnjFX6Xm_4/s640/Birthday+Wishes+WOC+3.jpg" width="580" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My focal point is made up of dreamy <u>Sue Wilson</u> dies (<u>Maddie and Lauren</u>), which were part of a gift! I love them so much. My friend loves elegance and sweetness, so I paired beautifully ruffly white blossoms with darling Rose Pink roses. Isn't that a gorgeous shade of pink? ♥︎ It is perfect for my <u>Maja Design</u> papers. The heart paper is from <u>Vintage Baby</u>, while the rest are from <u>Vintage Summer Basics</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I continue to be enamored with the relatively new White Lotus flowers... the abundance of sunshiny yellow nestled in the centers is irresistible. ♥︎ I have nestled it alongside a Chrysanthemum, which has long been one of my all-time favorite WOC blooms. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47g1VLoDUxvWU367_PrGFpi3XnEjuvMz4eaMAGx8BUG6bztr0j5wqPiYNR-bqb28h9gCckMsbDsfNkuqvut3fz7HNuAObSCvKYBPPJEEs0nIQLbc9J8q02ebwv_uYLbyniz9s8TOZVgs/s1600/Birthday+WOC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="773" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47g1VLoDUxvWU367_PrGFpi3XnEjuvMz4eaMAGx8BUG6bztr0j5wqPiYNR-bqb28h9gCckMsbDsfNkuqvut3fz7HNuAObSCvKYBPPJEEs0nIQLbc9J8q02ebwv_uYLbyniz9s8TOZVgs/s640/Birthday+WOC.jpg" width="618" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the center detailing, adorable miniature sweetheart blossoms accompany Rose Pink roses, to which I added a tiny trail of pearls. I hope she loves it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello, sparkly friends! I am in the midst of moving (a happy thing!) but will be checking in very soon! I hope your weekend is as beautiful as your hearts! I'm sharing a sweet little Welcome Baby card on the <a href="http://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog today. This is also my contribution for the 10/31 challenge at <b><a href="https://deepoceanchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Deep Ocean</a></b>, where our theme is <i>Inspired by a Song/Movie!</i><br />
<br />
Is there anything more precious than baby love (and sweet lullabies)? ♥︎<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To celebrate the new arrival, I have used several of Wild Orchid Crafts' dreamy blues. The pastel and antique blue blossoms are a favorite of mine (especially for wintry creations). ♥︎ My darling papers are from <u>LemonCraft's Tiny Miracles</u>. Oh how these make my heart dance! The sweetest little baby is tucked within a sparkling <u>Wycinanka</u> chipboard frame. I paired it with a stunning <u>Ornate Lace 3D</u> embossing folder from <u>Crafter's Companion</u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For a trio of larger delights, I have paired the new Lotus with a Trellis Rose and a Magnolia. The Mixed Pastel Magnolias collection is truly magnificent. ♥︎ For additional touches of blue, I nestled in Aster Daises, Lilies, and Cherry Blossoms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My card base was made with <u>Sue Wilson's Ornate Pierced Design</u> in her Noble collection. It is a lovely set! It is trimmed in my favorite polka dot ruffle lace. My sentiment is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business.) </div>

Happy October, precious friends! I hope you're having a blessed weekend. I'm excited to tell you that I continue to improve and made this card yesterday with the smallest amount of pain in years. It brings tears to my eyes! Thank you for the endless love you've shown me. :)<br />
<br />
I'm posting today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a love card featuring the newest WOC rose: Chelsea! Aren't they stunning? I incorporated two ivory chelsea roses and I am thoroughly enamored with them. ♥︎<br />

The large pink magnolias are from the pastel magnolia set. They are perfectly dreamy and pair beautifully with the chelsea roses. The gorgeous shade of pink also appears in several other flowers, with the sweet cherry blossom being my favorite. ♥︎</div>

Nestled up top is a white Lotus, which is also a recent addition to WOC. The blossoming heart trails downward to miniature sweetheart blossoms and tiny rosebuds. The edges of my flowers are painted in sweet sparkle. ♥︎</div>

My gorgeous papers are from <u>LemonCraft's Just Love Me</u> collection (it's nearly all used up now!), while the pretty chipboard elements are from <u>Wycinanka</u>. The heart die-cut is from <u>Crafter's Companions Love is in the Air</u> set. Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day! ♥︎</div>

Hello, sweet friends! I hope your week is off to a sparkly start! I'm posting today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a snowy Christmas inspiration.<br />
<br />
I used Foamiran for my poinsettia, which has a lovely soft effect; perfect for a peaceful Christmas. :) For a festive pop of red, my poinsettia is centered with a red bead berry spray.♥️<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cascading from either side are babies breath fabric flowers. Their wispiness and pearly elegance make my heart dance! Although the white option is currently out of stock, the pale blue is available and would be stunning for wintry Christmas creations.♥️</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I created a ruffly lace snowdrift, lined with my favorite flat-back pearl string, before nestling in a <u>Wycinanka</u> chipboard Christmas tree. Self-adhesive pearls were sprinkled atop.♥️The sentiment is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business), which is cut out with a <u>Spellbinders</u> banner die and trimmed with lace.</div>

Tucked within my floral arrangement are pearl snowflakes and frosted berries. The sparkling iciness of winter is magical.♥️The pretty papers are from Pion Design's <u>The Night Before Christmas</u>.</div>

Hello, treasured friends! I am posting a friendship card today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, which features Foamiran flowers. This is my first time working with them and I enjoyed it immensely.♥︎<br />

For my first try, I used Rosy Owl-Heart Flower dies with pink and purple foam. I am eager to experiment with coloring white foam, but I do love these vibrant shades of pink and purple. They are pure happiness.♥︎ My chippies are from <u>Wycinanka</u>, while my papers are from <u>LemonCraft's Tiny Miracles</u>. Oh how dreamy they are. ♥︎</div>

The large flowers are centered with white and pink bead berry sprays, while the smaller flower nestled between them is centered with pearl stamens. I incorporated lovely flowers of pink, purple, and sunshiny yellow into my arrangement.</div>

Hello, precious friends! I hope you're having a beautiful day. I will be visiting you this week, which fills me with endless joy.

Blue and pink is one of my (many) favorite color combinations, so I topped my <u>Maja Design</u> sky blue paper with sweet pink and pristine white. Wild Orchid Crafts pinks are irresistible. ♥︎ My chipboard sentiment is from <u>Wycinanka</u>.</div>

Gorgeous Pink Mist Cottage Roses called to me for this occasion. They are exceptionally beautiful, especially for a romantic card. Nestled amongst them are a variety of flowers, blossoming in love. ♥︎ Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms are too adorable for words, so I tucked in a few.</div>

Hello, treasured friends! Thank you for the endless love and well-wishes. I remain in the midst of this healing journey, so I am not yet back as I'd like. With all of my heart, I pray to be soon!<br />
<br />
I'm posting today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a wee bit of sweet Christmas. I have a beautiful stash of red WOC goodies which had sadly been neglected. They inspired this festive creation using darling papers from Pion Design's<u> The Night Before Christmas</u>. ♥️<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I especially love the deep reds, which are perfectly rich for traditional holiday colors. The red bead berry sprays are delightful accents, while the cherry blossoms remind me of warm-centered poinsettias. (That's my excuse for using these sweet blossoms in a Christmas card.) ;) ♥️</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Cruise Beige vintage seam binding is centered with one of my favorite embellishments: Flat-back Pearls in a Diamond Circle. How stunning is the deep red, bursting with Christmas love.♥️ My sentiment is trimmed with the ever-versatile White Net Lace.

Hello, dear friends! This will be short and sweet today, as my weekend began in the hospital and I am quite sleepy! I am grateful to share that I am on the proper path to finally heal. Thank you for sticking with me.♥︎<br />
<br />
I am posting on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog today, where I combined a simpler card design with my first use of 'cookie cutter' metal dies. The gorgeous Crafter's Companion <u>Flutterby</u> frame cuts from within, which caused me to pause a few times to situate myself. ;)<br />

Happy July, sweet friends! Thank you for your endless love. I'm posting today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, where the designers were asked to step outside of our comfy zones and create in styles different than our typical. There are two I will be frolicking in and up first is my take on <b><i>Clean and Simple!</i></b> Say what?! ♥️<br />
<br />
For true CAS crafters, this may be viewed as too much... but coming from all out shabby chic with oodles of layering and texture, even *this* was challenging for me.<br />

I created a Christmas bauble card, featuring pretty pearls, lace, and of course a few gorgeous flowers. Red and white <u>aster daisies</u> nestle beneath a sparkling Christmas <u>rose</u>. ♥️ My snowy accents are <u>Snow Writer</u> topped with <u>Glamour Dust</u>. The festive papers are <u>Pion Design</u>'s The Night Before Christmas.</div>

My chipboard <u>Scrapiniec Starry Bauble</u> hangs from a <u>pearl string</u>, which dangles from a <u>white net lace</u> border. I was super excited to see that the two largest stars on my bauble were the perfect match for WOC's <u>pearl stars</u>. I happy danced while adhering them! It was a nice way to incorporate texture without adding layers to the open card space.</div>

The wavy border at the bottom is a <u>Marianne Design</u> die. As terrifying as this challenge was, I'm very excited about it! Who knew I could get this close to CAS? It may help during the Christmas rush that will be here before we know it. Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day! ♥️</div>

Hello, friends! Always know how much I treasure you.♥︎ I am posting today on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog, sharing a shabby encouragement card.<br />
<br />
It has been a difficult week grieving the loss of the sparkliest cancer warrior. At only 9 years old, Tessa inspired and loved beyond measure. She lived down the road from me, filling my heart with her light. ♥︎<br />

This card is for one of the many people whose heart has been shattered. I want to remind her that even though we feel broken, we are being held by the ultimate healing love. I adore Wild Orchid Crafts pastels, which made it easy to add pops of sweet pink love (roses/leaves) and sunshiny yellow (cherry blossom). Tessa is everything beautiful... pure love and sunshine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Vintage Seam Binding and Lace are knotted together for shabby bunting, while gorgeous Autumn Blossoms ruffle atop it. Each knot is placed between the pearls of WOC's lovely Pearl String, which is very pretty in person. A few pink and yellow ribbons were added to reflect Tessa's sweet little self. ♥︎</div>

Flat-back Pearl String adorns my <u>Wycinanka</u> chipboard frame for added elegance. The sentiment is from <u>JustRite</u>. For a touch of sparkle, Bead Berry Clusters are nestled alongside the cherry blossoms. The clusters are one of my favorite WOC embellishments to sprinkle in my creations. ♥︎ The beautiful papers are from <u>Pion Design's Where the Roses Grow</u>. </div>

Tessa's love will forever blossom within all who cherish her. ♥︎</div>

Hello, precious friends! I have some wonderful news: I will begin sprinkling your blogs with love today, for which I am grateful! I dearly miss you and am thankful for your endless love and prayers during tribulation. ♥︎<br />
<br />
I'm posting on the <a href="https://wildorchidcrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Wild Orchid Crafts</b></a> blog today, sharing some sweet and sparkly inspiration. ♥︎ This is also my DT contribution for <a href="http://deepoceanchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2017/05/challenge-156-bingo-board.html"><b>Deep Ocean</b></a>, where we are playing with a fun Bingo Board! This card is to bring nature's beauty to a cancer warrior who is unable to enjoy the outdoors.<br />

Amongst my pink and white flowers are pops of sunshine with pastel yellow cherry blossoms and mini sweetheart blossoms. I couldn't resist using the lovely organza rose trimming, as it pairs so beautifully with <u>LemonCraft's Tiny Miracles</u> collection. ♥︎ Plus, it's just gorgeous!</div>

Atop my crackled <u>Wycinanka</u> birdhouses are sparkling embellishments: Rhinestone flowers with diamond centers. They are so darling that I sprinkled a few extras throughout my card. ♥︎ WOC pearls serve as my birdhouse hangers and also line the sentiment nestled within the bouquet. For pretty texture, I lined the back of the birdhouse openings with vintage seam binding.</div>

My card base and floral frame are from <u>Sue Wilson's Delicate Garden</u> die set. The delightful birdies are from <u>Resting Birds</u> by Memory Box. How dreamy it is to play with Wild Orchid Crafts goodies.... I pray it delivers healing love, engulfing her in everything beautiful. Thank you for visiting and I wish you a blessed day. ♥︎</div>
