Christmas and Video Games

Two of my design teams both have challenges starting today, so I will be showing you two cards for the price of one.

The first card, is my first Christmas card of the year, which is for the Christmas in July challenge over at Paper Creator, I used one of the ultimate kits and embellished the design with Meiflower ribbons, gems and pearls.

The second card is for the Paper Shelter's For the boys challenge, I added punched stars to the card and then used some of Meiflowers tiny buttons in the middle of each and added polka dot grosgrain ribbon across the front of the card.

Christmas Quickie!

Just wanted to show you this quick Christmas card, the design is printed onto one sheet of paper, I cut it out and attached some of Meiflower's pretty red satin ribbon and an acrylic ribbon slider before fixing it into place on a Kraft card blank. I added a die cut frame, some stick on gems and the sentiment and viola! one completed card in under 20 mins, brilliant if you have a large batch to make up.

Thanks for taking a look,

Crystal sequin Blossoms!

Hi there, I have been playing around with Crystal Blossom Sequins from Meiflower and over the next few days will be showing you a few of the different things I've done with them. On today's card I made a simple frame around my image, alternating red and green sequins. It didn't take too long to do, I just put a line of tacky glue about a third of the way around the circle and then stuck the sequins into it, picking them up and placing them down with a pair of tweezers, I then did another line of glue around the next third attached the sequins and then finally completed the last third. 

The photo doesn't show just how sparkly they are.

I also used satin ribbon, a tiny square diamante slider and some stick on pearls for the holly berries.

Button Joy and ribbon tree

Hi, today I have a couple of Christmas card samples for you. Both were made using mostly Meiflower goodies, including buttons, a diamante ribbon slider, a diamante embellishment, stick on gems and lots of ribbons.

I used different shades of green polka dot buttons, to make the O in JOY, I was hoping it would give the impression of a Christmas wreath.

This is a very quick and easy design, just using a variety of ribbons (each one cut slightly longer than the last) to make a Christmas tree.

.... and finally..... a card made using  Meiflowers needle and scissors charms, they were absolutely perfect with the image.

Thanks for taking a look,

Kick it!

For today's card I have used a Paper Creator card kit, called Kick it, which is perfect for football mad boys of any age, I added Meiflower ribbon and buttons in appropriate team colours and a fab football shirt charm, also from Meiflower to finish it off.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend

Too many Polka dots???

Hi, I wanted to drop by and show you this card I made for the Paper Creator Spots challenge, I kept the layout quite simple but used quite a few different colours of Meiflower Polka Dot ribbons for decoration, and these are just a small selection of the many colours that Meiflower stock.

Thanks for stopping by,
