Dragon's Birthday

I always find it difficult to embellish cards for boys/men, I feel that bows and gems are just too girly, so I tend to go down the ribbon, string and buttons route, which is exactly what I've done for today's card.

Normally, I would use grosgrain ribbon for masculine cards as I think it is a bit more macho and Meiflower stocks it in both plain and polka dot, unfortunately I just didn't have the colour I wanted, so ended up using satin polka dot instead.

The Bride

Here's a wedding card I put together for this weeks lace challenge at The Paper Shelter, the gorgeous organza flowers are from Meiflower (you can pick them up at the craft shows and also by telephone ordering) and are perfect for this card, I added Meiflower lilac stick on gems around the frame, in the centres of the flowers on the lace, onto the sentiment and in the corners.

Shine Bright!

Here's a couple of blingy card samples I made for Meiflower to display at craft shows, showing off some of the products they stock.

I used various fonts to make up the sentiments on both of these cards, printed "Shine" and "Diamonds" in a pale grey before covering with glitter and gems.

I a variety of colours and sizes of stick on gems for this card.
