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,

Sparkly grosgrain ribbon!

Hi, I just wanted to share with you how I gave plain old Meiflower grosgrain ribbon a bit of a Christmassy sparkle.

Here's the ribbon on a card.
Pic not brilliant as was taken late at night, so you may have to click on it and make it larger, to actually be able to see the sparkle.

Cut grosgrain ribbon to length and tie your bow, use Crafters Companion Stick n spray or 3M spray mount in a well ventilated area (preferably outdoors), place ribbon and bow onto scrap paper and lightly spray over with adhesive - then either sprinkle with glitter or if you keep your glitter in a plastic lidded box as I do, drop the items into the glitter replace the lid and give the box a good shake. Lift items out, brush gently with an old blusher brush and Voila! sparkly ribbon and bow. I used the same technique on the die cut snowflake garland too.

Thanks for stopping by,
hugs,

Dear Santa....

Here's a rocker stepper card I made which contains my wish list for Santa, I really hope he reads it right this year LOL!
Meiflower's red stick on pearls are just ideal to use for holly berries, and they come in a great range of sizes from tiny to large, and red gingham ribbon is the perfect finishing touch on a Christmas card.


Thanks for taking a look,

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,
hugs,
Colette xx
