Our Iron Orchid Designs Summer Release has officially launched— and we’re so excited about the response from each of YOU. From vintage florals to charming classic elements and  textures, you’ve picked some clear favorites!

ELLEN J GOODS PROJECT of the WEEK
Introducing Lynne's surprise top favorite: the Leonidas Mould . "When I first saw this mould, I confess, I had my doubts. But I know that IOD has a strong historical aesthetic and that there must be something special about this mould. I researched and found out the lion motif was an important decor element dating back to the 1700's, so I had to use Leonidas."  Lynne shared a video tutorial featuring this handsome mould on a fully textured outdoor planter.

                                            HERE .

We've got SO many great ideas for this classic lion head mould in the weeks ahead, and can't wait to share them with you!

CUSTOMER FAVORITE MOULD

Already flying off the shelves is the IOD Heraldry Mould. With so many classic elements, you'll use it over and over again for thrifted upcycle projects, Christmas ornaments and small decor. Check out this quick project that Lynne shared using Heraldry  as a focal point on a small garden pot.

CUSTOMER FAVORITE STAMP
 A must-have for your stamp collection is  The "Flora and Vine" Stamp. We sold out of our initial stock and had to re-order this popular stamp already!

Lynne will share some fun ideas for journaling and small project embellishment soon on YouTube and our Facebook Live.
 

OUR FAVORITE INSIDER PROJECT

Did you know we have a free ellen j goods Insider group on Facebook? You'll find so much inspiration and creative connection there! One of our amazing Insiders, Linda Ward said," I received my Summer IOD Release package today and was so excited to use the 'Menagerie' Transfer on this little secretary I refinished for a friend."


Here's what we love...Linda was able to customize her design using various elements from the eight pages of  "Menagerie."
And isn't that the most amazing thing about IOD? The elements are there...you just get to use them to make something beautiful.

A FEW MORE THOUGHTS

It's always pure joy to open those new products from IOD. There is nothing that charges my creative battery more. Now that the release is over, I can settle into  my other creative outlets: at home, my gardens are bursting, and I'm excited to get some new plants and pots for our outdoor spaces.  JR has been doing a complete makeover of my little art cottage at the lake. For several weeks, it's been off-limits for me. There are new windows, a new ceiling, drywall and insulation so I can use the space year round. I can't wait to get in there and start organizing all my stuff and start working on a few journals. I'll be sure to share a video on YouTube when I'm ready to decorate. In fact, I've already started a project using one of the new  IOD transfers.

We are so grateful for each of you...you inspire us daily  with your creativity, and as always, 

We  look forward to making beautiful things with you!

Lynne, JR and Meghan
