All you need is Lace

Hi Everyone,

It always feels like Christmas when a new collection is released! I have had great fun creating with the new Vintage Journal Cards, 3x4" in size and just perfect for all your projects.

I have used the Vintage Flowers series for my cards, and also Meg's A4 watercolour paper that I absolutely love - so versatile, as you will see!




Meg also has new laces to tempt us all. What can you not do with lace?! For this card, I have made the Journal Cards a feature, and also created a background using the watercolour paper and lace. Effective, unique and so feminine.




Using the blue watercolour paper as my base, I then cut strips of lace and placed over top, allowing the watercolour to still show through and adding lovely texture that only lace can. 
Before adhering, I also placed die cuts from cardstock underneath, slightly muted by the lace. Having lace as a base also ensured the beautiful Vintage Flowers Journal Cards were the standout feature.

Embellishing was easy with Meg's wide variety of charms, ribbon, flowers - you name it - available. Keeping in tonal blues, I clustered flowers and a charm together, mounted on top of another die cut, and finished with adding a sentiment and pearls. 



  


Remember I mentioned how versatile the A4 watercolour paper is? Well, let me share another use with you. I have used one page, cut to size, as an insert for inside my card. Not only is it decorative and adds a touch of luxe, but with the watercolour muted tone it is the perfect base to write your message to the lucky person receiving the card!


Enjoy creating with the new Journal Cards!

All You Need is Love

Hello Mary here to share a layout with the A4 Spring Pastel PP



I have placed the A4 PP to a white piece of cardstock and added the flower pattern through a stencil with texture paste down each side.


I have placed my photo on the envelope image from a cut and create sheet and placed this on a embossed piece of cardstock and tucked the all you need is love sentiment behind the photo from a cut and create sheet.
The Mesh ribbon adds some more texture and then I've added a double bow of Mauve and silver , attached the little gold Key charm & the flower trailing down which I have fussy cut from the cut and create sheet. 


Another layout for the album. Megs Store has beautiful Papers and embellishements to document all those special occasions.
Thank you for calling by and Happy Creating

Vintage Journal Cards

Hello Mary here to share with you what I created with the New Vintage Journal cards that Meg has in the store. This time I decided  to create a Post Card with the Vintage Journal Card image


Meg has the lined paper in the store and I have cut to a post card size and added the vintage Journal card image to one side of the card and have the lined PP to the opposite side to write the name and address details


This lined paper would also be great for journals


To the back I have the lined PP to write your letter and the image from the cut and create sheet as  a decorative stamp .
Now I can write my Pen Pal a letter pop it in a envelope and she has a personalized post card . Simple, effective and unique.
I am sure you can think of other creative ways to use the Vintage Journal cards in your creative process.
Happy Creating

Sherlock III - A New Case... R.R.R.

Hello everyone & welcome,

Leanne here with you today to share a mixed media project that I have created using Sherlock III - A New Case cut & create ephemera pages and corrugated cardboard. Plus lots of bits & pieces from my craft stash.
I have R.R.R...recycled, re-purposed and reuse a coffee jar for my project. I love to recycle and coffee jars are a great way to store lace, ribbons, button & charms. This was lots of fun to create I hope you will give it a try.






Until next time.
Have a wonderful day & happy creating.
