Baby Love ♥︎

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 Wild Orchid Crafts blog today. This is also my contribution for the 10/31 challenge at Deep Ocean, where our theme is Inspired by a Song/Movie!

Is there anything more precious than baby love (and sweet lullabies)? ♥︎

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 LemonCraft's Tiny Miracles. Oh how these make my heart dance! The sweetest little baby is tucked within a sparkling Wycinanka chipboard frame. I paired it with a stunning Ornate Lace 3D embossing folder from Crafter's Companion.

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.

My card base was made with Sue Wilson's Ornate Pierced Design 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.) 

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

Beautiful Friend

Hello, treasured friends! I am posting a friendship card today on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog, which features Foamiran flowers. This is my first time working with them and I enjoyed it immensely.♥︎

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 Wycinanka, while my papers are from LemonCraft's Tiny Miracles. Oh how dreamy they are. ♥︎

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.

Tucked within my flowers are my favorite leaves... the light green and baby pink combination makes for the sweetest foliage possible.♥︎ Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a beautiful day!

You Are Amazing ♥︎

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. ♥︎

I'm posting on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog today, sharing some sweet and sparkly inspiration. ♥︎ This is also my DT contribution for Deep Ocean, 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.

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 LemonCraft's Tiny Miracles collection. ♥︎ Plus, it's just gorgeous!

Atop my crackled Wycinanka 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.

My card base and floral frame are from Sue Wilson's Delicate Garden die set. The delightful birdies are from Resting Birds 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. ♥︎

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! ♥︎
