I had to hurry up and make the cards and wrap the bottles that I showed on my last post. My oldest daughter was going to visit my youngest daughter and I wanted her to take them with her. So, I made them each an heart shaped easel card and wrapped their bottles up in boxes. I didn't have time to take individual pictures, but here is the video of the cards and gift wrapping:
Have a lovely day,

I'm back with another Valentine's Day project. I decorated some glass jars I purchased from Michaels. They are long and narrow and have a glass fleur des lis at the top. I wrapped a picture that I colorized in Printshop and printed on Watercolor paper around the jar. I added beautiful WOC products to decorate the jars:
At the top and bottom of each paper piece I added some Guipure lace from Wild Orchid Crafts. I made the corset using rivets and then Vintage Seam Binding from Wild Orchid Crafts laced through the rivets. I decorated the sides with silk ribbon, pearl sprays, flowers and charms - mostly from Wild Orchid Crafts. I filled the jars with candies that matched the color schemes.
See the video for the project:
The products I used from Wild Orchid Crafts are as follows:
BUD-136 Deep Ivory Hip Rosebuds BUD-139 Mixed Pink Tone Hip Rosebuds EX-00016 Pink Tone Roses 3/4" EX-00014 Pink Tone Roses 3/8" Set A WD-00031 White Pearl Spray LA-00029 Guipure White Lace LA-00022 Guipure Cream Lace WD-00023 Off-White Pearl String SB-00022 Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon - Paradise Aqua SB-00015 Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon - Pink Salmon SK-00013 Fuschia Silk Ribbon SK-00016 Rose Silk Ribbon REZ-030 White Heart Shape Flat Back Pear 1/3" JW-00022 Mixed Heart Charms PM-00127 Aqua Wild Roses

Well, I'm finally getting around to starting a blog. Still have a lot of work to do on it but I am going to go ahead and just jump in. I have had a YouTube account for over a year now and have posted several videos but sometimes it is just nice to read a blog: I created an altered gum box for my granddaughter for Valentine's Day:
