Meiflower Jingle Bells

Just wanted to quickly pop in and show you a couple of cards I made, used the same printed papers, image and embellishments on both but with a different coloured background card and different layout. I have added a couple of Meiflower Jingle Bells to each card, these little bells are a perfect addition to Christmas cards, come in red, green, gold and silver and also a couple of different sizes. I have used the smallest, but bigger ones are available.

Bling it on!

Today I have a quick and easy Christmas card, using a very simple Stick Christmas tree digi stamp, (a freebie from Birds cards). I have covered the branches with Meiflower stick on gems and Pearls, and for the tree topper, I have used a small circle diamante buckle, topped with a large stick on pearl from the mixed size pack. The bubblegum pink organza ribbon, matched the papers perfectly.

Thanks for popping in,

Christmas Stackable set

Hi there, here's a Christmas set I made using a download from Paper Creator and then embellishing it with lots of crystals, pearls and ribbons from Meiflower.

The set consists of a drawer which contains three Christmas cards and envelopes. I used a stick on pearl either side of the drawer handle.

I added a satin ribbon rosebud trio and organza bow to the ornament and used tiny red stick on pearls for the holly berries.

On this card I used both 10mm and 25mm Satin ribbon and pink stick on gems.

I decorated the Christmas tree with 2mm stick on gems in red, deep pink and light pink, added a narrow satin ribbon bow to the top and AB crystals in the centre of the snowflakes.

Thanks for taking a look,

enjoy the weekend,

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.

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.

Christmas Greetings

Hi there, here's a quick and easy Christmas card made with the Crafts Too embossing folder Christmas Greetings, and Meiflowers lush wide satin ribbons and a diamante ribbon slider.

Not much to it, but it looks lovely in real life.

Princess Twinkle toes

Hi all, I wanted to show you the following card because as well as using some of Meiflowers gorgeous Metallic Edged ribbon and stick on pearls, I have also used little tiny 2mm stick on crystals for the crown, I love these little tiny crystals as they are so useful for decorating images that are not so big. I have used Aurora Borealis on the crown but Meiflower has them in a huge range of different colours too, so many more than are actually showing in the store.

Another wedding invitation sample

This burgundy and cream card was decorated with Meiflower's burgundy gems and pearls, it took me ages to get a decent photo of the gems as they always looked black on the photos, but in real life they are a lovely rich burgundy colour. I finally managed to get a photo where you can see the burgundy colour in some of them.

I added alternating rows of pearls and gems to the crossover points of the embossed card and gems around the heart and in the flower centre and strip of burgundy organza ribbon a couple of pearl hearts in the corner.

Anchors Away!

I wanted to show you this sail boat plate card I made using a kit from Paper Creator, once put together it needed something to finish it off, so I attached an Anchor charm to some brown metallic cord, knotted the cord in a couple of places and then tied it around the rope in the plate design, tucking the ends under the top layer. I also used a black pearl on the lifesaver.
