XMAS @ MEG'S GARDEN - ASSORTED COLOURWAYS

Hello Bloggers,

Well yes it is nearly that time of the year!!!!  Time to get your xmas card stash happening.  To help you along the way.  I have created a few cards in different tones, all using the gorgeous collections from Meg's Garden Christmas.

Here I have used pink and blue colourways and here are a couple of close ups.

So with that stash complete, I set about creating some more cards to give as gifts.  Meg's Garden Christmas Collections 'cut and creates' work so well for creating  beautiful xmas cards.

The colourways of red and green are very traditional and are so striking don't you think??  Set off by the beautiful trims from Meg's Garden.

Hopefully I have inspired you to commence your xmas stash for this year and to view all the trims and  papers please click  HERE.

Be sure to come back soon and see all the other lovely creations from the Design Team.. Until next time  happy creating....Love Liz

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
Mary x
