Vintage Journal Card

Hello Mary here to share a card created with the new Vintage Journal Cards now available in Megs Store

I mounted the journal card on a piece of cardstock and used foam dots to raise the image. As my base I have used the Watercolour Background Paper, which has the lovely touch of the photo corners.

Under the raised image I have placed the Lattice and circle die cut and a strip of lace at the side  . I finished off the card with some pastel enamel dots and the sheer green ribbon bow.

I decorated the inside with a image from a cut and create sheet.

The Vintage Journal cards come in Florals,  Vintage Ladies and Vintage Men. I think these along with the cut and create images are also great for Journals and Mix Media Projects. 

I hope I have inspired you to get creative with the lovely goodies in Megs Store

Life is Better with Friends ~ Shades of Green

Hello dear Friends ,Mary here to share another layout using the Shades of Green Range.
I used two of the A4 pages in the range and adhered to a piece of white card stock to create my 12 x 12 page.

LIFE IS BETTER WITH FRIENDS

I received the gorgeous Branch with Flowers Die and used it straight away , I know I am going to use this die a lot !

I've also used the Lattice and Circle die behind my photo, placed some pastel enamel dots to my page and fussy cut the flowers and vintage lady from the cut and create sheet .

I also would like to share a card I made using the Shabby Chic Backgrounds card pack papers . I made this as a Sympathy Card so decided I wanted to create a bouquet of flowers to send. 

I fussy cut various flower images from the cut and create sheet , bundled them together and raised them on foam dots for dimension and tied them with a satin edged organza ribbon. I placed the bouquet on top of a doily.

Thank you for calling by, I hope I have inspired you to pop over to Megs Store and be delighted with all the gorgeous Papers and embellishments.

Molto Bello ~ Sherock 111 a new case

Hello Mary here to share a travel layout created with the new range Sherlock 111 A New Case

The Italians really know how to create beautiful balconies. This is a balcony in the Piazza Navona in Rome.

I thought this particular paper from the new Sherlock 111 a New Case suited a travel page as it has the lovely  Post Card image on it. I added some clock washi tape and clock stamp and also used a blossom stencil with texture paste . I used the Lattice and circles die cut under my photo and then I used the branch with flowers die to contine the flowers from the balcony trailing down my page, into this I added a couple of DoDo Vine pieces. 

The clock image I fussy cut from the cut and create sheet and secured with a Filigree. The postal images are also fussy cut from the cut and create sheet and I have added some Mesh ribbon to my layout 

Finally I wanted to share a card I made for my Friends who sadly had to say goodbye to their fur baby 

The image of the dog is from Pinterest and then I have used The Shabby Chic card Artist background papers for my base. 

Used the Lines and Curls die and also the Screen Frame Die

Fussy cut the large cogg from the New Sherlock 111 A new Case cut and create sheet and placed the metal cogg in the centre.  The cherish word from the cut and create sheet  I inked and then added twine and mesh ribbon to the card , all from Megs Store

Inside my card I have layered images from the cut and create sheets . With the envelope piece I used a craft knife to cut a opening to tuck the sentiment in.

Thank you for calling by , I hope I have inspired you to visit Megs Store and grab some gorgeous products that are sure to inspire you to be creative.

SHABBY CHIC BACKGROUNDS, ENAMEL DOTS AND DIES

Hello Mary here to share some cards I have been working on with the Shabby Chic Backgrounds card pack. The colours are so soft , pretty and romantic.

Everything I have used to create my cards can be found in Megs Store. I love this die , which is called lattice and circles  , it is so versatile and I purchased the pastel enamel dots that work beautifully with the shabby chic papers, but there are all the colours available in the store.  The background is a soft pink and white polka dot patten.

This card the Background is lovely shades of green, so I chose embellishments with green hues. The ladies dress has touches of gold in her green dress , so I added the green and gold ribbon and also added white lace under the lattice and circle die. I used the pink enamel dots to compliment the flowers and die cut and used a organza ribbon for a touch of softness. The image of the lady and the Dream sentiment can be found on the cut and create sheets.

My last card the background is shades of mauve and once again I have used the Lattice and circle die ( told you I liked it ) I then used images I have fussy cut from the cut and create sheets and added the enamel dots and a sheer green ribbon on my fussy cut rose.
Thank You for calling by and if you have a special person that you would like to create a beautiful , unique card for , especially made by you, visit Megs Store for beautiful supplies.

There is a Girl .... Shades of Green

Hello ! Mary here to share a layout for you using the gorgeous new Range Shades of Green 

There is a Girl who stole my heart, she calls me Dad

I Love this beautiful image on the Shades of Green Paper and once again I have turned it into a 12 x 12 layout by adding the PP to a Piece of cardsock

I have cut around part of the clock with a Kraft Knife to slip the photo into. Behind my photo I used one of Megs Dies, this one is called Lattice and circles, it will be great for Multi Media layouts as well as delicate layouts , I know I will use this die over and over again. The images of the flower in the top corner and the couple dancing as well as the Verse ~ Life Calls the tune .... we dance are all fussy cut from the Shades of Green Cut and Create Sheet. The lace I added for texture and then I swipe Gesso over the lace to make the lace stand out even more. Pastel enamel dots from the store complete my layout
