Oh Santa!!!

 Hello everyone & welcome!

Leanne here with you today to share three Christmas cards that I have created with the Christmas in Burgundy with Cream collection, available from Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy Store. 

To create my cards I started with 3 pieces of white cardstock measuring 21x14.8cm. Then fold each piece in half to create each card base. 

Next select the digital patterned paper backgrounds and the images for each card.

You will also need some plain coloured cardstock, lace and embellishments that you wish to decorate your cards.

Next start adding the layers and embellishments to each card as shown.

These are quick, simple and easy cards to create. I do hope I have inspired you to create one or all three cards today. 

                                                                             

Please don't forget to stop by Meg's Facebook page, YouTube channel and of course Meg's Etsy store and visit the blog regularly to see the gorgeous design teams inspirational ideas. 

 

Until next time.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Have A Very Merry Christmas !

A Chocolate Box

 Hello everyone & welcome!

Leanne here with you today and I have a handmade gift box to share with you.

I have used the delightful digital paper collection called Christmas in Burgundy with Cream.
Papers are available from Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy Store.

The base and lid for my box is constructed in cream cardstock. 

Next I cut pieces from the digital burgundy with cream patterned papers to fit each panel of the box. Then paper distress the edges of each piece and then ink the edges with distress ink: vintage photo before fixing each piece in place. 

I have embossed the lid and handle then inked each piece before fixing the pieces to the box.

To decorate each panel I have fussy cut images from the cut and create sheets. Each of the ephemera pieces were inked then adhered to the panels.

Back of the box.   Hello Santa!

To finish I have added a touch of sparkle with Stickles glitter glue, baubles, rhinestones, die cut snow flakes and a gold bow.
I hope I have inspired you to create this sweet little gift box and fill it with treats for teachers, family or friends this festive season.

Check out Meg's Blog, Etsy Store or sign up for the Newsletter, so that you will be up to date with all of the latest digital paper releases + you will see all of the wonderful creations from the design team.

Until next time.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

  Hello everyone,

Leanne here with you today and I would love to share a Christmas project with you. 

I have created a Christmas wall hanging using the latest digital patterned papers from Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy Store. 

The papers are called Christmas in Burgundy with cream. 

My wall hanging is constructed from heavy cardstock as the base. I then selected a sheet of digital patterned paper from the Burgundy with cream collection. This deep rich burgundy sheet was adhered to the base. 

To decorate I chose lots of ephemera pieces from the cut and create sheets. I have fussy cut the pieces then inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink before arranging each piece and fixing them in place. 

 

I added lots & lots & lots of embellishments - after all it is for Christmas. 

Layers of lace were added for that feminine touch. I then decorated a stick from the garden, this is used to hang my creation.

All in all I am very happy with how my project has turned out, it's now ready to display for Christmas.

So why not try your hand at creating your very own Christmas wall hanging this year; a wonderful project to display each year. 

Be sure to stop by Meg's Etsy Store for these papers and to check out all of the varieties of digital papers on offer.  

Wishing everyone a safe and Joyous Christmas.
