Sherlock III: a New Case - a seed from which tomorrow's happiness grows

I wanted to share with you a special layout of gorgeous niece, Esther.

I will be meeting this little one for the first time in August, even though we've talked over the internet it'll be much better to talk to her in real life.

When I saw this floral PP from the Sherlock III: a New Case collection, I knew I wanted to use it on something special.

Have a look and tell me what you think...

I backed my photo with a frame of green cardstock and then used a script above to tie in the PP with the photo.  I used cream mesh ribbon from Meg's Garden bundle of goodies across the background.

Using the Branch with Flowers die in a sage green cardstock I have framed the photo over the cream mesh ribbon.

  I have used the sage green rhinestones from the emerald sheet in the centre of some of the flowers from the die and in the corners for a touch of sparkle.

Hope you've enjoyed sharing in my creation with Meg's beautiful products, be sure to pop along to the website to look at her stunning collections.

Sherlock III: a New Case - Spread the word...

Sherlock III: a New Case -

Spread the Word

Hello everyone, popping in to the blog today to show you some cards I created with this beautiful collection!

All the cards are using the A4 pages, cutting out the most beautiful elements on the pages to make the centrepiece of each card.

This card uses the ink pot as the inspiration, I have added the pen nib and the sentiment "Spread the word" to create a writers theme.  The organza ribbon tied in beautifully with the vintage photo ink around the background paper.

This card has such a beautiful background paper that I left it so simple with a mink/taupe organza ribbon and the muted rhinestones from the diamond sheet, available at the website.

This card has such a detailed background paper that all I needed to do was ink the edges with vintage photo ink and add a sentiment.  I used "Time is a storyteller" because the paper looks like a collection of someone's belongings.  I added jute twine to the tag I created.

This card uses the top of one of the A4 collection papers and the postcard is a green text so I used a green backing card, embellishing the card with the green velour flower trim and an organza ribbon bow.  I have added sage green rhinestones from the emerald sheet.

All of these items can be purchased at Meg's Garden store.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my card creations today and pop back again to see more wonderful creations of the design team here at Meg's Garden blog.

Take care

Sherlock III: a New Case - We create our tomorrows by what we dream today...

Sherlock III: a New Case

Bec here, showcasing the new collection from Meg's Garden.

With this amazing collection of vintage papers, I have created a layout for this awesome composition photo of my nephews. I have used 3 of the A4 papers to create this background and have layered them to show how effective they are together.

Here is a close up of the crackled background paper that I placed just behind the photo to co-ordinate with the brickwork and walls in the photo.

I used 3 of the metal embellishments down the side of the photo to draw the eye back to the main piece on the page.

I have layered the clock face charm on the round filigree trinket.

I have used a saying from the Ephemera from the Poetry ephemera sheets. I felt it linked well with the photo.

I stamped a diamond pattern along the edge of the background paper and the opposite side on the compass background paper

Here is the stamping on one of the new collection A4 pages.

I have placed black rhinestones on the corners of the layers to define the corners.

All of these products can be found on Meg's Garden website, follow the link below or click on the links I have provided to the individual products.

Dear, sweet, wonderful you!

Dear, sweet, wonderful you.

Let me show you something I've made this weekend with Meg's goodies....

Using one of the 12x12 doilies I created an envelope, I adhered one of the beautiful 5.5" Card Artists' Packs/Mini Papers from the Shades of Green Collection 

With the floral background and ribbon on the background paper,

 I have added some extra flowers with ephemera from the cut and create sheets. I have raised some of the flowers for the 'off the page effect'.

I have added a satin ribbon in emerald from a bundle of Meg's goodies.

 With one of Meg's latest products I have added a touch of sparkle.  Meg's Garden website now has rhinestones and enamel dots.

I have used a stamp from my collection as the sentiment

I have used an emerald rhinestone on the top flap of the envelope to seal the doily around this creation.  In reality, it is a touch of doubled sided tape that is sealing the doily.

Look at the detail in this Basket Lace Square doily.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing something different here today.

Hop over to Meg's Garden website to see these beautiful products.

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

gold leaves and white leaves

Thanks so much for stopping by Meg's Garden today!

French Garden Mini Album

Hi everyone, Miriam here with my latest mini album.I just love the colours pink and green to work with and when I opened my box of goodies from Meg's Garden I couldn't wait to get started. The album is 6x6 with a 2 1/4" spine. I covered the chipboard with white card stock then added the French Garden pink paper and fussy cut some flowers and foam mounted them on top. I embossed the chipboard frame, placed one of the lovely ladies inside it and added a stick pin and ribbon. The spine and the back are plain. The album has lots of pockets and tags and the flip pages can be used for journal spots as well. I inked the edges with Victorian Velvet and did a little masking on the front and also cut around some of the images and slipped tags behind them
