Vintage Floral Journal Cards from Rose

Hello Bloggers

Our latest Guest on the Design Team is Rose Parker (aka my sister). I sent her a pack of the Vintage Journal Cards - Floral along with some ribbons, patterned papers, flowers etc. 

These are the 2 cards she made using the Blue Florals:

They are both done on white cardstock with 2 different blue cardstock mat layers

Card #1:

The little book on the front sits on a large white die cut frame on a torn embossed blue-grey mat; as well as a white curved die cut border strip at the bottom on a torn white corrugated paper.

The little book uses the same blue-grey cardstock & carries the colour of the torn mat.  On the front is the Blue Bird Floral card embellished with 2 corners in the same cardstock: it is embellished with blue iris satin ribbon & 2 white silk flower forget me nots. The little book has plain paper inserts held in by the satin ribbon tie - you could also use lined paper, some poetry, pics or a special message.

Card #2:

Many layers on this one:  The first is an embossed white panel that goes the full width of the card & about 2/3 down topped with a torn pale blue-grey cardstock square, a blue small envelope & then a white die cut decorative circle.  At the bottom of the card is a  piece of lace topped with a strip of white torn corrugated paper & a strip of border punched cardstock has been used on the bottom of the card embellished with 2 pearls.  The front of the card has a small organza bow with a white paper lily & a blue paper wild rose.

The Vintage Floral Journal Card is mounted on the pale blue-grey cardstock (same as the mat), then a white cardstock mat with the borders punched edges & a double ribbon used as an opener.

The pic below shows how the front looks with the Vintage card open - the envelope can hold whatever you want.  The top pic shows the Vintage Card closed (magnet on both sides).

Hope you enjoy her cards - there are 4 more to be shown - each different, all with many layers & lots of ideas

Bye for now

Vintage Journal Cards - Flowers

Hello bloggers

Bec Jefferis here.  I wanted to pop in and share a card I made this weekend, using Meg's Garden NEW Journal cards - floral designs.

These are absolutely stunning floral designs with so much versatility to be used on cards, in happy mail, and as part of your journal.

I have made this card for a dear friend's birthday, in fact she was the one that gave me the dimensions of this unique card.

Of which you'll understand when you see the pictures and video below...

I used the blue tits journal card on the front with the blue watercolour background paper, that come with the card kits in Meg's NEW products.

I used navy watercolour paints to add some splatter dots and used crafters grass to nestle the image on the front of card.

I backed the journal card with a navy card stock and scratched the edges to create added dimension.

This is what the inside of the card looks like...

I used four more of the floral journal cards to create the pop up display. 

They sit so well together backed with the pink watercolour background paper.  I used a rub on birthday sentiment to finish the card.

I have made a video of the card opening for you to see the full effect.

I hope you have enjoyed some different inspiration on the blog today.  Hope you get the chance to use your Meg's Garden products in a similar way.

Have a wonderful day

Take Care

Bec

Hello everyone.

My latest page is one using Megs garden Sherlocks 111 cut and create. I wanted to create a page

which had a vintage farm feel. My handsome tom turkey is getting very impressive. Not something you see scrapped much. LOL

I love the leaf dies from Megs garden. They gave my page a country feel. Different clour green

cardstock makes more depth to the leaves. Half the page I used corragated paper which I was trying to represent corrigated tin.

Thanks for having a look at my page.

Fill their fields with laughter and scatter the sun on their day ~ Sherlock 111 A New Case

Hello Crafters,
Mary here with another layout using the Sherlock Holmes 111 A New Case Range, I have really enjoyed creating with this range.

Fill their Fields with laughter and scatter the Sun on their Day

This is a photo of my cousins both now in their eighties and nineties respectively . The young girl is also my Godmother.

I love this Die from Megs Store and I think it is perfect to continue the foliage in the photo . Behind my photo I have used the 4 x 12 strips of pp that come with the 12" PP and cut it in strips to mat the photo. I've added Dodo Vine and mesh ribbon beneath the die cuts and added jute twine and a little antique chess key .
For my sentiment "smile" from the cut and create sheet I highlighted the word with distress ink and stapled it along with Gold Skeleton Mesh webbing  to a ticket stub , also fussy cut from the cut and create sheet.
I hope I have inspired you to visit Megs Store and grab supplies to document your memories.
Thank You for calling by and Happy Creating
Mary x
