Vintage Journal Cards - Floral

 Hello Bloggers

Two cards using the Vintage Journal Cards - great ideas from 

Guest Designer Rose Parker.

Both are very elegant,  quite unique & use the 2 VJC's with  pink roses

The first one has a window box decorated with 4 pink puffy roses & 

a gathered pink lace.

The Vintage card sits in the window box & comes out using 

its pink ribbon flap

Underneath you can see the details of the die cuts used

The second one will also give you some great ideas too:

More die cuts with a pink one to accent the little book. 

The book has a magnet close & an oval stitched die

cut which frames the vintage journal card. 

 The little book is embellished with some silk flowers.  Have a look at the tiny pale pink rosebud wrapped in the same pink satin edged organza ribbon

as the pull on the vintage journal card - gorgeous touch.  

The vintage journal card is backed with a distressed-edged pink cardstock

Lots of different shapes have been used in the die cuts - great texture interest

I am sure that you are able to use many of the techniques & ideas used here.

Thank you so much Rose

Bye for now

SHADES OF GREEN - TEAPOT CARD WITH TIMELESS CARDS

Hello Everyone,

Here I am again today sharing with you Meg's Garden 'Shades of Green' Collection.  

I am using Pack No. 2  and the Cut & Create from this Collection and hope that you enjoy todays viewing.

Firstly, to match last month's tea cup card, I decided it make a Teapot Card, which was lots of fun putting together.

Here is the other side.

The card can be opened up for the sentiment to be written inside and then tied together with ribbon bows.

I then set about making some matching cards from this Collection.

And now for some close ups, showcasing the many varied embellishments from Meg's Garden.

Love these Doilys.

I hope you have enjoyed our journey today and that it has inspired you to start creating your own beautiful cards from Meg's Garden Collections.
Remember to check out the Labels to see all the items used on my cards.  Until next time.....enjoy your creating time.   Regards Liz.

To have and to hold...

Hello again...

This time I have had the opportunity to use Meg's NEW range of Shabby Chic A4 papers

Today, I used the marl grey spotted pattern paper in a layout on a plain white 12x12 page.

I scrapped a black and white photo from my wedding day, on the 1st of February 2015, so we have recently had our 3rd Anniversary.

This is the pattern paper below that suited the black and white photo for this wedding day layout.

I have used a circle doily from Meg's store along with these little ivory rosebuds

I used a wedding title to finish the layout off.

Oh my goodness, Look at that beautiful die, from Meg's Garden. 

It's called Elegant Lines - Small, click here to see all the amazing new cutting dies over at Meg's Garden.  I want to purchase them all!!! I have limited myself to 3 so far so to see more of my work with these new dies, stay tuned.

I hope to back again soon with more delights from Meg's Garden.

Take care

Make a Wish...

Hello Everyone,

Bec here, returning with the French Chic Pk.2 Card Artists' Packs/Mini Papers

The script paper was perfect with the Filigree oval from the Vintage Trinkets on Meg's store and the Ivory Mini Rosebuds.

I have taken apart the velvet flower ribbon to make a cluster on top of a semi circle doily

The dusky blues work well together IRL.

This sage green floral PP is so beautiful with the stamping I have added to the white card stock, the sage green organza ribbon worked perfectly to join the two.  The ivory mini rosebuds make up the centre of my bow. 

Hope you like this simple elegant cards using the new French Chic collection.

Take care from

Bec

PRETTY IN LAVENDER

Hello It's Annette here
 welcoming you to Megs Garden Blog
 Today I wish to share with you my 'Mirror Image Frames'

.....well they're nearly mirror image .... 

'Pretty in Lavender'

using the very pretty range of papers from 

MEGS GARDEN

titled

'LAVANDE'

These papers are lovely in their delicate colours of violet, mauve & lavender

& I was happy to start playing as soon as my  DT goodie box arrived ..

Meg also added in some extra trimmings &

I hunted through my stash & gathered 'purple'  stuff ...

the silver frames were a Christmas present from 'secret santa'

which I rubbed them with inka gold to highlight the pattern

the Chipboard frames were silver embossed then also rubbed with inka gold on the edges

I added water to the inka gold to colour my skeleton leaves

 Using patterned paper as my background I adhered the chipboard & 

the silver matted image

the tassle is made from a bead fringe which would be quite a number of years old

as it was in my mum's sewing treasures ( it will come in handy one day)

then added a spray of flowers & a sprinkle of beads to complete

PRETTY in LAVENDER

I'm quite pleased with the finished result & it's only the images that are not mirrored.

Please take some time to stroll (scroll) through the garden

& be inspired by the Garden Ladies 

Happy Scrapping

Celebrate Your Uniqueness ~ Lavande Range

Hello Mary here to share a layout using the new Lavande Range. When I received this range, Oh my, so beautiful. The range inspired me to document my Granddaughters Year 12 Graduation, so far I have created three layouts using the range.
Today I would like to share this one with you.

Celebrate your Uniqueness

I love the Brown Dodo Vine Wire and it gave me the idea to create a hanging garden at the side of my photo

the flowers and leaves can all be found in Megs Store
I can't wait to share some more of this gorgeous range with you. Everything besides the Laugh Chipboard word  and the diecut behind the photo is from Megs Store. I encourage to have a look at the rest of the range of Lavande it is just so beautiful.
Until next time, happy creating

Spring Pastels Take #2 by Margaret Mifsud

Hello sweet visitors and welcome to Megs Garden.  So pleased you dropped by for a visit.

I am back today to share a card made with more lovely goodies from Megs Garden.

The papers are from the Spring Pastels Collection.  You can buy them already printed but  the ones I've used here I printed out myself from the digital version.  

Edged the top layer of paper with Martha Stewart's Floral Vine Deep Edge Punch and added the chippie pieces for extra interest.

The yellow bloom below is the Puffy Paper Flower which is available from the Garden (I will list all of Megs products at the end of this post).   It was white originally and I simply sprayed it with some Liquitex ink.

The large white bloom is the Azalea .. available from Megs Garden of course .. and so is the large Mini Rose Bud.  The Azalea was left as is but I did re-colour the rosebud.

The other flowers in this cluster are from my stash.

Sprinkled the flowers and card with a mix of clear and pale pink micro beads and added some glitter to the chipboard pieces.

The papers used on the inside were also edged with the same punch as before.  Aren't those papers pretty??? 

A little gauze under the cluster just to soften the look and my card was done!!

Spring Pastels Take #1 by Margaret Mifsud

Hello everyone and welcome to Megs Garden .. so pleased you dropped by.

I am here to share a card made with some of Meg's lovely goodies.

The papers are from the Spring Pastels Collection.  You can buy these in multiple sizes as a pre-printed version but they are also available as a digital download.    I love the digital version because I can print them out as I need them so I never run out and I don't need a place to store them ..

perfect!!

The top paper layer was edged with the Martha Stewart Floral Vine Deep Edge Punch  (my fave at the moment) .

The chippie is from 2Crafty Chipboard and is a piece left over from another project.  I simply coloured it with a VersaMagic stamp pad and sprinkled it with clear glitter.

The roses are the Puffy Paper Flowers. They come in a creamy white and are so easy to colour to suit any project.  I usually spray them with a little water and then spray again with either inks or watered down paints in whatever colour I need.    I really love these flowers and use them on most of my cards.

The large bloom is the Silk & Organza Primula - black and grey. 

Added some die cut leaves, a twine bow and a few mini rose buds to the cluster.

 More of the Spring Pastels Collection on the inside and, for some reason, I felt compelled to add some washi tape to the side.   Just as well I liked it. LOL!!

Megs Garden has some stunning paper collections and most of them are available in a printed version or as a digital download, or both.
