More Cards Using A Twinkling Christmas

Hello everyone! I hope that your week has been a good one. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner and if you are like me, I am always worried that I haven't made enough! My friends and family are always waiting for my handmade cards so today I hope to share some ideas that I hope you may use for your own cardmaking.

I love regular shaped cards but for Christmas, I do like shaped cards. I used the largest die from Sizzix Ornaments Round die set to create my card base and die cut it again using patterned paper from A Twinkling Christmas from Meg's Garden. I used lots of flowers and die cut foliage to embellish as well as using a chipboard flourish from Scrapinec.

To add to my twinkling theme, I die cut my sentiment using glitter paper and added some rhinestones.

My second card also uses paper from A Twinkling Christmas. Again, I used lots of flowers to embellish  as well as some straws to add to the festive feel of the card.

I used some music paper from my stash to compliment the vintage feel of the paper and used a stamp from Kaisercraft as my sentiment.

Supplies:

A Twinkling Christmas Card Artist Pack

SECRET MYSTERY BOX & MINI JOURNAL with new PARIS CHIC COLLECTION

Hello Everyone,

Liz here today showing you the new PARIS CHIC COLLECTION.   I was lucky enough to be given the new Journal pack in this wonderful collection.

But first let me tempt you with a 'Secret' mystery box that I created to hold the mini journal using Paris Chic.

And Meg's Garden new Box Handle Arch and decorative lock.  Stunning items don't you think?? Then I was inspired to do a little Decoupage on the lid, with papers from Paris Chic and Vintage Beauties.

Now for a little side view and inside peek.

I made the little Journal from a couple of 12x12 album page inserts, then set about decorating my Journal.

Some special brass corners and metal hearts.

Meg's Garden lace and ribbon really set the Journal off.

Meg's Garden heart shaped doily and beautiful floral ribbon.

 You will notice that I used a little 'Inca Gold' in gold to edge a few of the cutouts, which gives a real vintage look to the pictures.

Finally a little fussy cutting of the flowers and here is the end.

I hope you have enjoyed our little visit through Meg's new Paris Chic Collection and be sure to check out more HERE.

Thanks for taking the time to look and until next time........happy creating. ....Love Liz.

I created 16 cards which I have paired in a frame

to save on an extra extra long blog post ...

all my cards are 14.5cm square & by adding 

some bling, embossed papers, flowers lace & pretty ribbons 

it makes them all a little bit individual 

I found these papers so versatile & 

enjoyed fussy cutting the ephemera 

My hope is you are inspired to create some cards to share.

In the Watercolour Garden ~ Smile

Hello Mary here today to share a layout using the "In the Watercolour Garden Range"
I created this layout for a challenge and Megs Garden paper and embellishments were just what I wanted to create with
.

SMILE

This was for a sketch challenge and I love the softness of Megs "In the Watercolour Garden" papers to go with the vintage photo's of my Grandmother , Aunts and a Uncle at my Eldest Brothers wedding.
I have torn the 4 x 12 inch paper that comes with the 12x12 papers to give it a irregular edge which I have inked and placed my photo's on . The Smile sentiment is my title and is from the Cut and Create page that always have the most gorgeous images. The flower cluster  with the beautiful velvet flowers and ribbon add to the vintage feel. The fleurs image I have used as my tag with journalling on the back and it just tucks up under the edge and lace . I finished the layout off with the beautiful flower die cut, which I just love.

Everything I have used to create this layout is from Megs Garden Shop 
Thank You for calling by , I hope you visit the shop to see how gorgeous this range is  and be inspired create with the beautiful papers and embellishments.

fussy cut many elements from the ephemera sheets & papers & adhered them to chipboard to give them strength ..

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas ~ Twinkling Christmas

Hello Mary here today to share with you the rest of my cards I created with the Twinkling Christmas Card Pack ~ seriously made my  life so much easier to create my Christmas Cards with this gorgeous Card Pack.

How cute are the Christmas Fairies that I have fussy cut from the Twinkling Christmas Cut and Create Ephemera sheet.

For the card on the left I added the gold stars ( they come on a strip with a sticky backing you peel off to adhere to your project )

I then added the gold doily which I cut in half, the gold & cream holly leaves .

The card on the right I once again fussy cut the Christmas fairy added her amongst the baubles and ribbon pattern on the Paper . I added a extra bauble fussy cut from the Ephemera sheet raised it with a foam adhesive attached it with the gold star and gold pearl trim to the branches. To finish I added the large butterfly also fussy cut from the Ephemera Sheet ( so many gorgeous images to choose from )

Next fairy is in the more traditional Christmas colours of Red and Green. I made a tag to attach her to and fussy cut the Christmas Balls and little Christmas cluster of butterflies and ribbons attached to the tag behind the fairy.  A little gold stick on gem on the tag and Christmas Balls to finish off the card.

Another in the traditional colours of Christmas, with the fabulous image of the lady shopping in her magnificent clothes , what style ! I again created a tag with the red brick background and simply added some snowflaces and I created a sentiment with a clear pebble.

I simply added St Nicholas from the Ephemera Sheet and then added the gold and white holly leaves tucked in the branches fussy cut from the Ephemera Sheet... Card done

and finally I have layered the fussy cut images from the Ephemera Sheet, the bauble, Saint Nicholas and the gold leaf , I then added thin silver ribbon to the bauble tied in a bow at the top.
I hope I have inspired you to start creating your Christmas cards , with this beautiful pack and images to create with you will have them done in no time at all !
Happy Creating
