Just for fun…

Today, I’m sharing a gift bag that I made…just for fun with a sweetheart of an image from Lili of the Valley, Fairy with Dove. Isn’t she so darn sweet?! I have to say, Lili of the Valley stamps have been a long time favorite of mine!

I designed and cut the gift bag on my Silhouette using lush papers from Maja Designs.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

For my project, I made a set of 3 x 3 note cards with one of my favorite little sets from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, Everyday Trinkets. The cards were cut to 6 x 3 and scored at 3 and the layers cut to 2 3/4 x 2 3/4. I love how easy it is to put together a cute gift set for a friend. Kimme has other Trinket sets that would be just as perfect too, so be sure to check them out. Smile

NEW at LDRS....... DESIGNER DIES CHA SNEAK PEEK!!!

We are so excited to give you a little sneak peek into our CHA 2014 collections! CHA is always an exciting time to show off new things and see old friends. This is our fourth time exhibiting at a CHA show and we're still on pins and needles waiting for the grand opening of the show floor! And, we've got something exciting to show you...

For the first time ever, LDRS is introducing a collection of Designer Dies!!!

Our first collection is styled with a vintage Victorian flare. The dies have soft curves and detailed cuts presenting a beautiful lacy appearance.

Darlings Square Die Set

Our Darling Square Die Set includes 6 individual designer dies. This die set has been carefully designed to offer you a completely coordinated set of dies to use to embellish your craft projects. The largest is a detailed frame that measures approx. a 6" x 6" square finished cut. It is versatile and elegant in its square shape and has delicate rounded corners and intricate cut detail. You can stack and layer with the smaller frame and coordinating accessory dies, which include a beautiful floral flourish die and layering individual flowers.

Fluttered Tulip Bodice

Our Fluttered Tulip Bodice die is an elegant, whimsical spin on the old fashioned seamstress dress form. We have added lacy butterfly wings and a delicate cut flourish to the center. It is the perfect combination of both age and beauty. You will find that it will add a touch of elegance to your crafting projects.

Lovely View

Our Lovely View die is an elegant, feminine spin on the old fashioned view finder that we played with as children. We have added a lace-like appeal to the outer edge, with beautiful and intricate detailed cuts in the interior. The center offers a delicate embossing detail to further enhance the elegant Victorian look of this Lovely View die. It is the perfect combination of both age and beauty. You will find that it will add a touch of elegance to your crafting projects.

All of our dies are manufactured in cooperation with Spellbinders and offer the very same versatility and standard of excellence.

Thank you so much for joining us today! We'll be in CHA Booth 2552 if you want to stop in and say 'Hello!'. We would love to meet you!

Wild Orchid Crafts–Button It Challenge

Hello friends and a very Happy New Year to you! I hope that 2014 finds you well!

Today, kicks off the first challenge of the New Year for Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge Blog and it’s an easy one…so I hope you will be able to join us!

For my card, I made a simple A2 card ( 4.25 x 5.5) using a beautiful stamp and sentiment from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, Fabulous Frames 1. After coloring the frame with Copics, I fussy cut it and popped it up with dimensional foam tape on to the sentiment after distressing the edges.
