Blank Canvas

This was a work of love, a blank canvas, so to speak!

I covered the front of what was a plain canvas, with Meg's Garden papers and inked around the edges.

Next, I hand sewed pearl beads to an old doily which was then glued in place. 

The main feature is the gilded metal oval frame. The whimsical picture of a pensive lady suited this perfectly. A fancy glitter die cut completed the look. 

The frame was secured to the canvas, and adorned with beautiful fabric flowers, ribbon and pearls. 

For the full range of flowers, ribbon and other decorative items, excellent for vintage work like this, be sure to visit Meg's Garden!

Beauty

I have been thinking outside the square - so to speak - when I received the latest collection of Vintage Journal Cards.

I was taken with the exquisite image of a beautiful lady with such deep and soulful eyes from Meg's new Vintage Journal Card collection.

Loosely cut around the design edge, then inked and mounted on to antique gold paper for the frame backing, this image was the start of something special.

A string of faux pearls line the frame, with a cluster flourish of flowers, lace and ribbon, the final touching elements, making for a truly special and unique gift.

With all of the beautiful embellishments, and using the Vintage Journal Cards found in Meg's Garden shop, you too can find inspiration and create something "out of the square".

Vintage Journal Cards

Hello Bloggers

Two more fabulous cards from our Guest Designer Rose Parker.

Both cards use the Vintage Journals Cards - Floral.

The 1st card:  Rose has picked up the green leaves on the VJC (Vintage Journal Card) with a many layered card. The 1st layer is a white cardstock floral diecut, next  a green cardstock strip which has a distressed edge, a green cardstock mat & then topped by a white cardstock strip pocket. The bottom of the card has another layer with a stitched curve over a white concertina fold piece.  The VJC is actually separate & is matted with white cardstock & tucked into the white strip pocket.

The pocket is embellished with green paper leaves, white satin & organza ribbon & a silk green flower.

  

The 2nd card also has several layers - a strip of lace down the right side, a piece of embossed white cardstock, a strip of concertina paper, a piece of blue cardstock, an oval frame, & a white diecut corner.  The blue VJC is first mounted on white cardstock, a blue ribbon loop is attached, a magnet is added underneath the ribbon & the whole is then mounted on a distressed-edged blue cardstock.  The opposite magnet is behind the layers on the card.

The VJC just tucks into the white corner pocket & stays in place by the magnets.

Embellishing is kept relatively simple - a vintage trinket with a pearl on the top right corner, an enamel dot on the VJC, a length of blue satin ribbon ties around the card, a floral bouquet of white diecut leaves, a white cherry blossom & blue paper petals.

Both cards are really well done & show how many layers of the same colour but different textures are so effective.  Just hints of colour are used to pick up the shades in the Vintage Journal Cards.

Tea cup cards by Meredith Hilly

Hello.

 I have had fun making teacups on cards with Megs newest papers.

The card is larger then my normal cards by I had so many goodies that were perfect for the card it just couldn't be a small card. The cups are 3D with a cute tea bag tag from one cup. I decorated the cups with lace and pearls.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my latest card.

Vintage Ladies Journal Cards

Hello Bloggers

Some ideas for using the Vintage Journal Cards - Ladies

They are so wonderfully easy to work with. 

1. Pick one that appeals to you
2. If you are going to do layers, then choose 2 patterned papers that work with the Lay that you have chosen. Otherwise, choose a complimentary cardstock OR a contrasting cardstock to mat the Lady.
3. Choose the card pack colour - needs to work with the mat cardstock 
4. Add your embellishments &, of course, die cuts
5. The Vintage Ladies love flowers, lace, ribbons & pearls
6. DONE

Really only 3 steps

Vintage Journal Cards are 3x4" - 6 to an A4 paper - printed or digi.

All you need is Lace

Hi Everyone,

It always feels like Christmas when a new collection is released! I have had great fun creating with the new Vintage Journal Cards, 3x4" in size and just perfect for all your projects.

I have used the Vintage Flowers series for my cards, and also Meg's A4 watercolour paper that I absolutely love - so versatile, as you will see!

Meg also has new laces to tempt us all. What can you not do with lace?! For this card, I have made the Journal Cards a feature, and also created a background using the watercolour paper and lace. Effective, unique and so feminine.

Using the blue watercolour paper as my base, I then cut strips of lace and placed over top, allowing the watercolour to still show through and adding lovely texture that only lace can. 

Before adhering, I also placed die cuts from cardstock underneath, slightly muted by the lace. Having lace as a base also ensured the beautiful Vintage Flowers Journal Cards were the standout feature.

Embellishing was easy with Meg's wide variety of charms, ribbon, flowers - you name it - available. Keeping in tonal blues, I clustered flowers and a charm together, mounted on top of another die cut, and finished with adding a sentiment and pearls. 

  

Remember I mentioned how versatile the A4 watercolour paper is? Well, let me share another use with you. I have used one page, cut to size, as an insert for inside my card. Not only is it decorative and adds a touch of luxe, but with the watercolour muted tone it is the perfect base to write your message to the lucky person receiving the card!

Enjoy creating with the new Journal Cards!

Vintage Floral Journal Cards from Rose

Hello Bloggers

Our latest Guest on the Design Team is Rose Parker (aka my sister). I sent her a pack of the Vintage Journal Cards - Floral along with some ribbons, patterned papers, flowers etc. 

These are the 2 cards she made using the Blue Florals:

They are both done on white cardstock with 2 different blue cardstock mat layers

Card #1:

The little book on the front sits on a large white die cut frame on a torn embossed blue-grey mat; as well as a white curved die cut border strip at the bottom on a torn white corrugated paper.

The little book uses the same blue-grey cardstock & carries the colour of the torn mat.  On the front is the Blue Bird Floral card embellished with 2 corners in the same cardstock: it is embellished with blue iris satin ribbon & 2 white silk flower forget me nots. The little book has plain paper inserts held in by the satin ribbon tie - you could also use lined paper, some poetry, pics or a special message.

Card #2:

Many layers on this one:  The first is an embossed white panel that goes the full width of the card & about 2/3 down topped with a torn pale blue-grey cardstock square, a blue small envelope & then a white die cut decorative circle.  At the bottom of the card is a  piece of lace topped with a strip of white torn corrugated paper & a strip of border punched cardstock has been used on the bottom of the card embellished with 2 pearls.  The front of the card has a small organza bow with a white paper lily & a blue paper wild rose.

The Vintage Floral Journal Card is mounted on the pale blue-grey cardstock (same as the mat), then a white cardstock mat with the borders punched edges & a double ribbon used as an opener.

The pic below shows how the front looks with the Vintage card open - the envelope can hold whatever you want.  The top pic shows the Vintage Card closed (magnet on both sides).

Hope you enjoy her cards - there are 4 more to be shown - each different, all with many layers & lots of ideas

Bye for now
