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.

Vintage Journal Cards - Flowers

Hello bloggers

Bec Jefferis here.  I wanted to pop in and share a card I made this weekend, using Meg's Garden NEW Journal cards - floral designs.

These are absolutely stunning floral designs with so much versatility to be used on cards, in happy mail, and as part of your journal.

I have made this card for a dear friend's birthday, in fact she was the one that gave me the dimensions of this unique card.

Of which you'll understand when you see the pictures and video below...

I used the blue tits journal card on the front with the blue watercolour background paper, that come with the card kits in Meg's NEW products.

I used navy watercolour paints to add some splatter dots and used crafters grass to nestle the image on the front of card.

I backed the journal card with a navy card stock and scratched the edges to create added dimension.

This is what the inside of the card looks like...

I used four more of the floral journal cards to create the pop up display. 

They sit so well together backed with the pink watercolour background paper.  I used a rub on birthday sentiment to finish the card.

I have made a video of the card opening for you to see the full effect.

I hope you have enjoyed some different inspiration on the blog today.  Hope you get the chance to use your Meg's Garden products in a similar way.

Have a wonderful day

Take Care

Sherlock III: a New Case - a seed from which tomorrow's happiness grows

I wanted to share with you a special layout of gorgeous niece, Esther.

I will be meeting this little one for the first time in August, even though we've talked over the internet it'll be much better to talk to her in real life.

When I saw this floral PP from the Sherlock III: a New Case collection, I knew I wanted to use it on something special.

Have a look and tell me what you think...

I backed my photo with a frame of green cardstock and then used a script above to tie in the PP with the photo.  I used cream mesh ribbon from Meg's Garden bundle of goodies across the background.

Using the Branch with Flowers die in a sage green cardstock I have framed the photo over the cream mesh ribbon.

  I have used the sage green rhinestones from the emerald sheet in the centre of some of the flowers from the die and in the corners for a touch of sparkle.

Hope you've enjoyed sharing in my creation with Meg's beautiful products, be sure to pop along to the website to look at her stunning collections.

Sherlock III: a New Case - Be as awesome as you can...

Sherlock III: a New Case

Be as awesome as you can.

I am popping in to show you my latest creation for Meg's Garden, using the NEW collection.

Using the Sherlock III, paper collection, I have created this layout of my nephew, Nathaniel.
I have tried to replicate the peeling paper with the brown kraft paper on the background.

I have used the layered papers from one of the background sheets as ephemera.

I really like the reflection of the owl in the water so I tried not to cover it.

I have used black enamel dots to repeat the black brad holding the sentiment tag.
BE AS AWESOME AS YOU CAN.

I hope you like what I have created today with products from Meg's Garden, follow the link to her website below for more of an idea of what she sells.

Ephemera elegance

Hello Bloggers,

I am popping in today with some more cards made from the gorgeous products from Meg's Garden.

Using the NEW Shabby Chic paper collection and the ephemera to cut & create.

I have made 3 cards using the same theme...

  

I used the light green background paper from the shabby chic collection, along with an organza ribbon .

I loved spending the time fussy cutting from the ephemera sheets.

Using the blue butterfly from the ephemera sheets, I mounted it on an embossed white cardstock and then on top of the blue background paper from the Shabby chic range. 

I have used lace and pearl trim to add to the dimension and elegance of this simple card.

This card, I created my own background using pearlescent water colours, trying to match the rouge as much as I could.

I used a thin satin ribbon from Meg's Garden to add a simple finishing touch.  The card is beautiful enough not to need a sentiment.

Hope you like what I have created today.

See you again soon

Upcycling with Chantilly Cream...

Hi, Kelly-ann Oosterbeek here today with a little upcycling project 

decorated using the gorgeous Chantilly Cream Paper Pack. 

And of course some of the beautiful embellishments that are also 

available over at Meg's online shop :)

This is the box I started with - a KFC Family Feast box!

I used this fabulous mix of papers from the Chantilly Cream paper pack and some of Meg's beautiful embellishments...

And this how it ended up ... as a vintage writing set chest :)

You can see the step-by-step guide of how it was made by clicking on THIS LINK.

Of course you could use any old box as an upcycling object,

shoes boxes are particularly perfect for this kind of project :)

Thanks for visiting the blog today,

Cheers from Kelly-ann.

Grandparents wedding day

Hello readers and creative types.

I have been unwell for a few months now and I had some good days recently. As a result I hauled out a couple photos of my grandmother on her wedding day. This one is a lovely photo with the wedding cake, remembering this was taken in 1932.

I wanted too to use Marion Smith's Nirvana Collections from Meg's Garden because I loved the colors which would also match many of flower paper and fabric flowers in my stash which I had added some lovely paper leaves.

Also added to the lay was some dusty attic chippies that I won in a draw a few months back.

I hope you like and please leave a comment or any questions you may have.
