Memories - Spring pastels collection

Hello,
This my first project for Megs garden design team, working with the delicate spring pastels collection which I adore.
I have decided to make a square wall hanging for my first project.  Its turned out beautiful, even if i do say so myself.

Thank you – memories hanging

I chose the memories page because of it lacy delicacy, and because the project is by way of a 'card' to my work colleagues on the occasion of my leaving.  The beautiful stitching was a perfect ready made title for the project.

1. On a 24cm square base of recycled card, paint about 3cm all around the edge in gold acrylic paint
2. Layer a 23cm square of darker co-ordinating paper (recycled A4 mauve paper from my paper drawer)
3. Trim spring pastels ‘memories’ sheet to 21.5 cm square, retaining the white border

4. Fussy cut hydrangea flowers from the ephemera sheet, lavender chalk the back and add dimension with a ball tool

5. Inspired by the stitch effect of ‘memories’ use a rough stitch effect to outline 3 rectangles on the page approximately 6x10 cm each

6. Mask the centres with a post it note, and use walnut stain distress ink to tint the background leaving the 3 panels the original colour.

7. Fussy cut the floral design on the paper to allow the edged ribbon and lace to slip in behind them.

I chose the lace and ribbon because I wanted to continue the delicate theme and not obscure the background.
8. Cut a 14x7cm luggage tag from dark card, I found a deep plum in my paper darwer.
9. Cut the same shape from a section of the ephemera page, leaving a 2mm border all round.  I just adored this section with its designand text.
10. Tuck behind the lace and adhere on foam tape for dimension

11. To match the gold border, apply gold gilding wax to the flower vintage trinket and adhere the small white rose in the centre.  Apply a small amount of purple chalk ink to define the edges.

12. Make a triple circle from the length of string.
13. Wind the two small rosebud stems around the string and tuck the sharp ends under the vintage trinket. Tuck the large rosebud and leaf in the hole of the tag.

14. Fashion a couple of loops from the pearl trim and 5mm ribbon, secure the ends in place with cotton thread, and tuck under the vintage trinket.

15. Make a slot in the top centre of the card and thread through the sage organza ribbon to make a hanging loop.

16. Finish the arrangement by positioning the fussy cut hydrangea flowers (making sure any stems align with similar lines on the background page), add diamante gem centres and a little glitter glue highlights.

I think you will agree these spring pastel papers make the perfect memories wall hanging,

hugs

Debbie

Gorgeous elements you can find in the Rose Quartz collection, brads, frames, butterfly's

Folded gift card holder with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Meg's Garden monthly post.
This time I decided to make a folded gift card holder with Meg's Garden new delicious Forgotten Meadows collection.
First I made the cover with old recycled chipboards and wrapped them with a 12*12'' paper from the new collection. Then I made the fancy cover with heat embossed chipboard and Meg's Garden flowers, trinkets, lace and doily.
I added the trinket on the top of the frame and glued a charm bird over it.
All paper flowers were inked around the edges with brown distress ink and I added a hand cut  from other paper flowers over the basic paper on the cover.

And now for the inside of this gift card holder.

I glued another paper- this time from the journal kit as the size was a good fit over the wrapped cover. Then I added some stamped butterflies and a stamped sentiment - the same doily from the cover is seen here as it was folded to the half.

I made the right " book shaped" side with 4 printers papers, folded into accordion and arranged to the deep frame.

Then one single envelope from the kit was glued as a base for the gift card/cash money gift to put inside.

You can see the folded paper  on this photo:

And some close up to butterflies here:

The last close- up to the card/cash envelope:

I hope you like my project and with Meg's Garden gorgeous Forgotten Meadows you can make a lot of similar projects/ mini books/ cards or scrapbooking pages.

Meg's Garden Design Team Project: Butterfly Book Kit

Hello there crafters 

I am finally getting back into the swing of things after recovery, Chrissy, New Years and also moving house. Seems I like to jam a lot of things in to a small space of time. 

All that said, I still found some time to make a mini album with the Butterfly Book Kit available from Meg's Garden. 

The mini is of course Kathy Orta's All Occasions Mini of which I have made about 10 in all and really do enjoy creating them. I have added a youtube video at the bottom of this post so you can see the mini in action.  The one difference is I used a different hinge method which I actually prefer to the hidden hinge.

I pulled out all of my flowers from my Meg's Garden stash and went a little nuts, but really love the final product. I added a few Kaisercraft wood embellishments which are covers in crackle paint from Rangers to add to the overall feel I was going for. 

I even went as far as to add flowers and leave to the pages on the inside. And using the stacking hinge method meant I had a lot more space between the pages to add things. 

I included a lot of model paste stenciling and also some ink stenciling to give the pages some more dimension.

Here is the video, and remember to leave any comments or questions to this blog post or the video. 

Thanks for visiting.
