ELEGANT BOOKMARKS FOR THE BOOK LOVERS .

Hello fellow Crafters,

Today I would like to share with you, some Bookmarks that I have created.

I think at sometime or other we have tried to tidy up our paper stash, am I right?  Well I had one of those days and found myself keening thinking of new ways to use up some of Meg's Gardens 'Cut and Create' and some off cuts of her beautiful Collections.

So I decided to make some Bookmarks, which I will now be able to include in Birthday and Thank You cards, just to name a couple.

Here is a closer look for you, standard size and also a corner bookmark, which is somewhat different, but I really love how it sits on the corners.

Well I hope that you enjoyed our little journey today and trust that are now inspired to try out Meg's Garden new Collections and start creating.

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

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone & welcome.

Today I would love to share with you another Christmas card that I have created with the patterned paper collection called "An Elegant Christmas".

To create this card I firstly trimmed the background paper and adhered this & some red ribbon to a white square card base.

Next fussy cut 2 poinsettia flowers, a small holly sprig and the Christmas bauble image, then adhered in place. I have die cut a frame in white cardstock. This was then fixed in place with 3D foam tape. To finish my card I added 3 red paper roses, pearls and glitter glue. A simple colour scheme & so quick to make. I hope you will give this card a try.

 Background paper: Ivory with a cream Damask

A Merry Xmas to You

Hello everyone & welcome,

Today I would love to share another Christmas card with you. I am on a roll using the gorgeous New collection of papers called An Elegant Christmas. 

We have had so much rain here that my gardens & trees are starting to look nice for the first time in many months. I hope our farmers everywhere are being blessed & receiving some of this rain also. As for me, I am enjoying taking advantage of this weather to have some craft time.

I love this picture of Santa as he looks so happy & jolly. I just had to include him on my card. There is lots of fussy cutting which I like doing as I find it relaxing. You may notice that my fussy cutting is not perfect, but that's ok. I have just cut around each shape of the large holly sprigs and wreath  & not concentrated too much on all of the intricate details. I left the centre of the wreath whole and this is where I adhered my Santa image using 3D foam tape.

Red glittery ribbon, an organza bow, large green leaf, red flower, gold stamens, pearls and glitter were added to finish my card.

 Back ground paper: Deep Red Damask

 Cut & create images #2

 Watercolour Wreaths

Cut & create images #1

Until next time.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
I hope you have a wonderful day & happy creating.

Birthday Wishes and Butterfly Kisses

Hello Crafters,

The weather outside may be gloomy, but it's Spring over here in Meg's Garden! The new Spring Flowers Collection will brighten any day.

My absolute favourite from this collection is definitely the Butterfly Transparency Sheet. Thin and, textured like vellum, the colours are magnificent and create the perfect extra medium to your papers and embellishments.

The pastel colour palette of this collection is beautiful to work with. I have used the papers for the background and also die cuts for borders. I left embellishments to a minimum, having the butterflies and Vintage Journal Card sing in the centre.

I love the dimension they create, and the different texture against the papers. Just like they have flown onto my card, ready to explore the garden!

Happy Gardening,

Julia x

With Love

Hello everyone & welcome!

Today I would love to share a very pretty card made in some of my favorite colours of pink and green. These pretty papers are from the Vintage Journal Card series called Vintage flowers and the A4 watercolour papers which are available from Meg's Garden online store.

To create my card I first die cut an oval shape in the watercolour paper.
Next insert the Vintage flower card image behind the raised die cut oval shape. All papers have been inked in a soft shade of green.
To finish I added a cluster of paper roses, a stamped sentiment, an organza bow, a metal charm, a large self-adhesive pearl and a touch of glitter.

Until next time.
I hope you all have a wonderful & happy creating.
