Ribbon, buttons and pearls

Here are a couple of cards made using the Clipart Fairy Shaper CD, which are both decorated with MeiFlower ribbon, pearls and buttons.

Sympathy Card

I punched holes into the topper and threaded ribbon through, then added a gorgeous silver stick on pearl in between each loop.

Show me the bling!

My name is Colette and I'm a Blingaholic LOL!, like most of us I can't resist something sparkly and when I saw this freebie sentiment over at Create with TLC I knew it was meant for me. I have been eager to use it since I downloaded it and yesterday managed to find a few spare hours so decided I would go for it.
I wasn't sure what sparkly things to add to my card, so I had a hunt through my bling collection, which took me ages as I was constantly being distracted by sparkly things LOL!, but eventually settled on the idea of adding images around the sentiment made wholly from self adhesive gems. Out came my Bazzill Jewel Templates and I set to work, and this is what I ended up with.

Sentiment - Create with TLC freebie

Sparkly silver paper - Hobbycraft

Templates - Bazzill Jewel Templates

Blue, green, pink, black, yellow, crystal and the most beautiful tiny Aurora Borealis gems all from MeiFlower

It looks brilliantly sparkly in real life, but unfortunately the camera doesn't capture it, but I will be seeing Mei at the Sincerely Yours craft show today, so I am going to give it to her as a sample. If you see her at any of the craft shows that they attend around the country, go and check out the sparkliness for yourself.

Hugs,
Colette xx

This is Mei here, just attached a pic of me and Colette at Sincerely Yours Crafts show at Leigh.

Thank you Colette for the bling, bling card. Just what I need to brighten up a dreary, rainy day!

Tags Sentiment

I made this card for a friend who wanted a card to say thanks to the nurses who have been looking after her husband during his treatment. I printed each letter of the word thanks onto it's own little tag, cut around and punched a hole into each one and then arranged them on a piece of co-ordinating waxed cord from MeiFlower. I draped the tags across the card and once happy with the position stuck each one in place with a small foam pad. I thought it was a slightly different way of adding a sentiment to your card.

See you soon,
