Have yourself a very elegant Christmas


Christmas cards and gift-giving is made all the easier this season with Meg's Garden 2019 Christmas collection. In elegant creams and vintage tones, Christmas cards this year will be something special.

I have made a series of four cards, each using elements from the Christmas collection and embellishments from Meg's Garden.



To the Cut & Create bauble, I added sequins, gold pearl bling, ribbons and flowers for a stylish almost real-to-touch bauble. 



Using a Vintage Journal Card and nesting dies, I layered each cut of the whimsical evocative image, two young children waiting for Santa. To keep the imagery the main focal point, embellishments are minimal in ribbons and gold leaves, paper flowers, stamens and bows.



What a stunning VJC image! Layering again with nesting dies, this time at an angle. The damask background is one of the elegant papers included with the Christmas collection. Minimally embellished, featuring a bow, beautiful crystal hat pins and bling.  

With so many choices from Meg's Garden Christmas collection, I have one final, more traditional, card to share.



Using four traditional "old world" Cut & Create images of St. Nicholas, I mounted each on papers in Christmas red, green and gold. Finishing with a fitting sentiment, again from the Cut & Create sheets and embellishing with bling, glitter flowers in gold.

I Believe in Santa


For something different this Christmas, I have created a tri-fold card. 

Not only a lovely card to give this season, but can also be used as a table decoration piece.



Red, green and glitter gold ribbons cut and adhered at an angle completely cover and form the front of the card.

Embellishments from Meg's Garden, including gold leaves, a beautiful fabric flower and a Cut & Create sentiment to finish.


Inside is more ribbon, this time a gathered panel for effect and texture. 


Another beautiful Christmas image from the new Christmas Cut & Create papers features in the centre.


Keeping with traditional colours, I embellished with coordinating green and gold leaves and glitter flowers.

These items, and so much more, can be found in Meg's Garden, for a truly handmade Christmas!
