Charmed I'm sure!

Today's card is hexagon shaped to go with the Drawn with Character digi stamp of the bees, (I was going for a honeycomb look).

Once the card was made, I decided it needed a love themed charm to finish it off, so I tipped out my box of Meiflower charms and rooted through until I found a variety of designs that would go with the love and bee theme, but I just couldn't make my mind up on which one to use, so ended up using them all and making a kind of charm bunting to hang across the card. I tied each of the charms onto some black metallic cord before fixing the charm at either end onto the card with strong tape.

Thanks for visiting,

How much do I love you?

Here's a card I made for the latest Anything Goes challenge at Paper Creator using a Sassy Cheryl illustration which, as soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for that sentiment, which I added to the image in Photoshop.

I punched small holes at the top and bottom of the card and threaded Meiflower narrow satin ribbon through them, tying the Love charm onto the ribbon before tying a bow. I used split rings to dangle the heart charm from the O of the love charm and then fixed the love charm onto the card using Collall tacky glue.

Anniversary card

Here's an anniversary card I made for a friend using a fab digi set from Drawn with Character on Etsy. I love the quirky humour in this set.

I coloured the digi stamp in Photoshop as usual and then mounted the images onto x-cut postage stamp dies, the sentiment was computer generated and then die cut with a sizzix heart die and matted onto a larger heart.  I punched a ribbon slot either side of the heart, threaded Meiflower grosgrain ribbon through, folded it back on itself and then stitched on a couple of  Meiflower polka dot buttons, before sticking the whole thing to the card front.

mini album

Hi all
I have made my first mini album and I have used, organza  ribbons,gems, charms  and pearls from meiflower. ...it was great fun to make and I am sure it wont be my last one !!!!

Ribbon idea

Hi, just wanted to pop on and show you a card I made using Meiflowers grosgrain ribbons as the main decoration, I used a long reach ribbon slot punch to make holes in the card and then threaded the ribbons through and covered the space between the slots with stick on gems.

I also used the same digital stamp, coloured in Photoshop (I had printed it out twice to test the results on different settings on Kraft card) to make a second version of the card, this time using scalloped borders and ribbon, a charm and pearl hearts also from Meiflower.

Thanks for taking a look,

hugs,
