New Year, New Beginnings!

Meiflower has some gorgeous new 15mm Gingham ribbons, in a range of colours (not available on website at the moment, but you can order by phone) and as my friend was presented with a brand new granddaughter on Christmas Day (what a present!) I thought the pink would be perfect for the Grandparents card I made. I used one of Meiflower's Satin Rosebud Trios in the centre of my gingham bow, waxed cord to dangle the little hearts from and added a bit of bling with pink stick on gems.

Boy Birthday

I made this card for a friends son, for his birthday, and couldn't believe my luck when I realised that the spotty buttons from Meiflower that I have had in my stash for some time now, were practically a perfect match for the spotty paper I had used on the card.

I added a length of grosgrain ribbon across the centre circle, which I looped at the other end, and then fixed the button, with a piece of waxed cord knotted through the button holes, over the top, finishing off with a large black stick on pearl in each corner, all available from Meiflower.

Who's calling?

Hi, today; I have a card to show you using a Sassy Cheryl illustration, I decorated the card with grosgrain ribbon, buttons and waxed cord from Meiflower.

I used a thin stripe of tacky glue to fix the cord into place on the card, you can draw your design with the glue, leave it a minute to go extra tacky and then press the cord into it.

Have a lovely weekend

Ahoy Mateys!

I always like to add a few knots to any type of nautical card I make and Meiflower's waxed cord is perfect for the job, especially as it comes in a great range of colours, so you can match it with your colour scheme. On this card I doubled the cord and tied a couple of knots in it and then fixed it to the back of the images to make them look like they are hanging from the main image. I also added a few of Meiflower's little buttons, which are also available in a great range of colours in both plain and polka dot.

Thanks for taking a look,

have a lovely weekend,

Hanging out to dry

I have a birthday card to show you today using a fab Sassy Cheryl image called Hanging out to dry, I wanted to do something a little different than  a standard card and this is what I came up with. 

I used waxed cord to make the washing line and some gorgeous wide gingham ribbon to add a bow, both from Meiflower.

This weekend at Meiflower there is also free shipping on all orders over £5.

thanks for popping in,

have a lovely weekend,

hugs,
