Pastel Inspiration

Inspiration in Lace lived up to its beautiful name. So much inspiration in one collection.

A beautiful image of a wistful young lady from the Inspiration in Lace collection inspired this card. A heart border of pink bling, muted pastel flowers, a dainty ribbon, metal embellishment and sentiments complete this card.

Another inspirational image from the collection for this card. The background paper looked so real you could almost touch the lace! The die cut frame was bound in narrow ribbon giving a 3D effect. A beautiful cream embroidered ribbon, and toning pastel flowers in similar colours as the Cut & Create image, and some pearls finish the look.

Lavender Memories

Another two cards, in deeper tonal colours this time, using Inspiration in Lace collection.

A triptych panel of lavender. The base paper and three floral Cut & Create images, all from the beautiful new collection. A delicate square paper doily compliments the lace depicted in the base paper. Narrow lilac ribbon forms a border around the triptych panels, with each panel triple mounted.

A delicate bow, small paper flowers and feathers in a deep purple finish this eclectic card. 

The beautiful lace paper from the collection was used as the formation of this card. The whimsical image of a young girl holding a rose was perfect to mount with several layers to feature and border with metal embellishment corners to finish the frame.

A cream ribbon runs down the side of the card with an exquisite length of embroidered leaves and flowers piece. 

A sentiment suitable to the image plus a small hat pin and more embroidery was added to finish the card.

My Collaged Folder

Hello everyone & welcome,

Today I have a project that I would love to share with you. The paper I have chosen is from the new collection called Inspiration in Lace cut & create sheets.

I have created a special folder just to store all of my Meg's Garden design patterned papers.

This is a Kraft coloured folder before its transformation. The folder measures 26 x 31.5cm.

 

To decorate my folder I firstly mixed some Matisse acrylic paint & Reeves iridescent medium together. This was applied to the whole folder both inside & out, then allowed to dry.

I then add some stenciling and stamping.

Next I started to decorate with images from the cut & create sheets & a paper doily.  I then added  embellishments of pretty lace, trims, trinkets, buttons, glitter glass, string of pearls, SA pearls, metal charms and punched out paper flowers to adorn the front cover of my folder.

Inside front cover has also been decorated.

Plus, now I can easily flick through each sleeve to see exactly what I need and my papers are safe from being crushed. 

The inside back cover. I am so happy with the end result.

You will find this very feminine & pretty paper collection in Meg's Etsy store.

Folded Surprise

The surprise starts by folding card stock into three, and reverse folding both ends giving a winged effect.

The left-hand wing has pale green damask paper from A Lady's Diary collection as the base, and layers of delicate lace and ribbon over top. Then, a delightfully whimsical image of two ladies in all their finery over the top of the lace. 

Finished with vellum overlay and framed in crystal bling with sprays of toning paper flowers.

The right-hand wing was similarly done but used a pearl/crystal frame effect. 

Inside the surprise, features the finely hand-drawn image of Paris, with the "marvellous Paris" sentiment. Topped with a stunning metal filigree embellishment and silver diamonte bling, plus doily, complete the centre panel.

The reverse of the side wings again uses the beautiful pale green damask as the base, with cream heavily embroidered edging, topped with cream ribbon and again silver diamonte bling. 

Finally, a length of gossamer ribbon adhered to the back of the card, long enough to be tied at the front to hold the card closed for presentation and the perfect surprise gift.

Pretty in Pink

Using Meg's Garden latest collection, A Lady's Diary, I have created another two cards in one of my favourite colours - Pink!

The Lady in her pink evening dress is the centre piece of this card. 

Starting with a delicate square doily, the stunning image is framed by a detailed die cut. Both die cut and doily are inked in rose pink. 

The card is finished with ribbon bows, toning paper flowers and a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment. 

For something different, I created a folding card to feature the beautiful papers within this collection.

Using the intricate lace images on the paper as inspiration, I superimposed lace edging over the designs, topped with narrow cream ribbon. 

One half of the card is folded, giving the stand up effect. 

A cut and create image from a previous of Meg's collections formed the background for the floral mount on the front of the stand up.

Holding the folded piece in place, an exquisite filigree metal embellishment.

Additional elements of design include a beautiful hat pin, shreds of muslin and pink and cream paper flowers with matching narrow ribbon bow.

Beaded Beauty

From A Lady's Diary collection, I wanted to not only showcase the beautiful paper range with this card, but also the exquisite embellishments available from Meg's Garden.

I started with pink muted damask paper for the background, and inked the edges. 

Next I placed lustrous cream ribbon to the left of the card. Using the same ribbon, I made a bow and attached two gorgeous velvet pink flowers to the centre. 

My favourite piece, the absolutely beautiful cream beaded and embroidered edging. This is placed over teased muslin and held in place with a crystal head hat pin.

Finishing with a simple sentiment.

Spend our days of indoors creatively, and take a stroll through Meg's Garden for inspiration.

A Paper Bag Clutch & Journal

Hello everyone & welcome

Today I would love to share another project I have created using a recycled paper bag & the Pink & Green paper collection, available from Meg's Garden online store.
This paper collection is very feminine, so what better then to create every woman's favourite fashion accessory; a clutch bag.

To create my clutch, I first trimmed a sheet of patterned paper to the same size as my paper bag. Next I distressed the edges of the paper with a distressing tool. I then added some Tea Dye ink before adhering this piece to the paper bag.

The closure & front of the paper bag contains magnets while the metal charm decorative cluster that adorns the closure can be easily removed. This allows the journal to open and lay flat.

The decorative cluster.

My pages are decorated with images from the cut & create sheets, which is part of the Pink & Green paper collection.

Until next time.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I hope you have a wonderful day & happy creating.

A Loaded Envelope - made with Love

Hello everyone & welcome,

I just love the colours and the images in the new paper collection called Pink & Green, now available from Meg's Garden.

To create my project, I started with a sewn pocket folder that I made from a manila file folder.

I then stamped and added gesso to the back cover.

For the front cover and pocket I trimmed & then inked the patterned papers using Tim Holtzs distress ink called: Old Paper before adhering in place.
To add a little more detail to the patterned papers I added some stamping.

Next I trimmed and fussy cut images & wording from the cut & create sheets; these wonderful sheets are part of this gorgeous paper collection.
To give my project more texture & dimension, I added layers of lace trims, a metal charm, a variety of paper flowers, buttons, self-adhesive pearls, ribbon, cheesecloth, and torn paper.
I then soften the look by dry brushing small amount of gesso here and there.

Next I created some delightful treasures for my pocket.

Here is what is tucked inside:
A book mark. I love to read so I always have a book mark handy.
A pretty card suitable for any occasion.
A cute little wish note book, ready to store all of your wishes.
A embossed & embellished envelope.
A flower rosette, topper or wand what ever you may like to call it, perfect to add to a gift or cake.
A tag, ready to add to a gift or journal.

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