Clematis brings movement into an arrangement in a way few flowers can. It climbs, stretches, and weaves its way through the space—and capturing that gentle motion is what makes our Cardstock Clematis Video Tutorial so rewarding. If you want to add more lovely blooms to your spring craft garden, take a look at our full collection of Cardstock Flowers.

Hello friends. How have you been? It’s already April and Easter is this weekend. I love this time of year when everything starts to come to life again. I put together this pretty blue hydrangea spring/Easter vignette.
There’s something so nostalgic about blue hydrangeas. I’m not sure what it is but they make me feel so happy. 
I added some pretty white tulips. They make such a pretty contrast.
I shared how I made these decoupaged eggs. They look great amongst the flowers. 
Of course the painted eggs and some painted candles. The glass candlestick holders are from Dollar Tree. I think they’re so pretty. 
This simple bunny I purchased a couple of years ago from Homesense.  Such simple little display but it brings me so much joy. Happy April friends.

much love,

Lucy

Hello again. How are you? I’m just here waiting for Spring to get the memo lol. So to send a message, I made this cute Spring Nest Planter. It’s so cute and it’s making my heart smile.

Isn’t so sweet? 
I added a couple of birdies from the Dollar Store for a little whimsy.

I used two 6″ grape vine wreaths to make the ‘basket’ 

I first uncoiled the wreath a little…
I then placed a plastic pot saucer and inserted it into the wreath.

 I then placed another wreath on top and secured it to the bottom wreath with wire.
I then inserted two mossy twigs at either side and curved them to form the handle of the basket.

To hold fresh flowers, I used some floral oasis and inserted various flowers with a little moss around them. 
Or you can use it to place plants inside like a planter… 
I also tried these pretty maiden hair ferns and some violas or pansies. I think this looks so pretty and so springy.  

I think this turned out sooo pretty and would make a beautiful gift.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

much love,

Hello again friends. It’s been snowing and Spring does not seem to be anywhere near, but I’m taking matters into my own hands.
I made this pretty living spring wreath using pansies and some moss. 
The day I made it, the sun was shining and I actually sat outside to make this wreath. But alas, it was just a little tease from Mother Nature.

I started by taking the pansies out of their pot…
Soaked some moss in water ….

And wrapped the pansies with the moss…
I used black thread to hold it together….
I then just used the same string to wrap the pansy ‘moss balls’ to the wreath…
So easy and I love how beautiful it looks. To water it, I spray it everyday and because pansies are so hardy, it’s going to last a long time. 

I love it. 
I took a lot of photos because it was so nice outside and I was enjoying the little break of winter weather. Sadly, it’s been snowing
and cold so I brought the wreath inside. I can’t wait to display it outside and for Spring to finally show up.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

much love,

Hello friends. I hope you’ve been well. We had a few days of warmer weather but we’re back to very cold days. During the warmer days I was inspired to create a few Spring crafts. Starting with this sweet ‘ceramic’ butterfly specimen display.  You won’t believe how easy it was to make. Let me show you.

You’re going to need a 3D butterfly; used for scrapping booking. I found several sizes at the Dollar Store.
Paper napkin with a nice pattern. I love THIS one because it has various patterns and it looks like Chinoiserie.

-I spray painted the butterfly with white spray paint. You can also use acrylic paint.
You will allow it to dry completely.
-Take some Modpodge or Glue and spread it over the entire butterfly.
-Take the napkin and remove the bottom layer and discard. Place the napkin on top the glue and gently rub napkin until it
adheres onto the butterfly. Allow to dry.

Once it’s completely dry, spread layer of UV resin. I used THIS ONE. I’ve used it in another project you can see it HERE. 
Once dry, I used some gold paint to paint the edges and the body of the butterfly.

I then used a little bit of double sided tape and placed it onto the frame. You can of course place it inside the frame but I needed to place it over the glass for better photos. 
I love how this turned out and I can’t wait to make more specimens. 
The resin make the butterflies look like ceramic and I just love them. 

Look how pretty they look displayed on this arrangement.
What do you think? Would you try this?

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello friends. I hope all is well. It’s been a loooong winter and I’m in need of a little warmth and of course some color.
Today I’m sharing this adorable candlestick holder flower arrangement that is so easy to make but looks so pretty on its own or in a grouping.

You could use floral foam but I didn’t have any on hand so I cut a piece of pool noodle and used that as the foam base.

I simply cut a piece and inserted it over the candlestick holder. You can place it on the top, bottom or middle of the holder. 
I just poked several faux flowers throughout until I was happy. 
To cover the rest of the foam, I glued on some moss. 

I think it looks so pretty and I can’t wait to make this pretty craft again.

Much love,
