Posted on May 5, 2013 by karenshady67

Hello everyone, and happy Sunday to you all. Today, we have some beautiful layouts to share with you from the very talented Nancy Winter. Nancy has such a soft, pretty, shabby chic, feminine style, and these layouts depict

that style at its best. Look closely at all the beautiful details within both these works.

The large feature bloom is called Fantasy – Moonlight. It was originally white but it has been sprayed with a watered down solution of paint.

MHC Products used: Idyllic – Plum, Imagine – Berry, Fantasy – moonlight.

More beautiful details here, with this lovely layout Nancy made for a good friend.

This is actually a tri fold layout, which opens up, to reveal these two extra pages.

Nancy has added a little glitter to the petals to match the Capri roses.

MHC Products used: Royalty Mix – pink & Maroon, Capri Roses – Aqua & Orchid, idyllic – plum.

This striking combination of colour is perect for this gorgeous photo of Heathers teenage daughter.

This layout was created for Scrapbooking Memories magazine, where Heather is currently working as a Scrapbooking Memories Master. She was asked to complete a layout featuring older style pepars in her stash. The gorgeous black ‘Party time’ flower, helps to modernize her layout, and give it a funky look, perfect for the cool photo of her daughter.

Do puppies come any cuter than this one?. Meet ‘Paris’, she is the fur baby of Nancy Winter, all dressed up in her ballerina finery.

A flower of a different colour

Posted on April 7, 2013 by karenshady67

Are you ready to take an inspiring trip through our Manor House garden today. Our designers have once again created some stunning pieces to share with you.

MHC have a huge variety of flowers, in just about every colour imaginable, but, even with so many to choose from, sometimes, you will find that you just dont have that ‘perfect’ coloured flower that you need. So, we thought we would show you just how easy it is to alter our flowers, ever so slightly, and very easily, to match any project, and any colour imaginable.

* * *

Firtly, Gwen has created a beautiful, heartfelt card, suitable for any occasion, and perfect for someone special. The pretty blooms frame the sentiment perfectly.

All our flowers take up ink so well, as you can see here, where Gwen has used Glimmer Glam to change the white ‘Ashlee’ bloom an impressive aqua colour. Notice how the blue edges of the Ashlee flower have given the flower a pretty, almost purple edge.

Card by Gwen Wruck

MHC Products used: Ashlee -white (glimmer glam added), Mayglo – pink, Meadow – white.

* * *

Karen is next, with a pair of pretty, shabby chic tags, made using the gorgeous Taniesha flowers. These flower sprays are just the perfect size for tags and cards.

Karen has used just a little Gesso on the edge of the petals on both the yellow, and mauve Taniesha flowers, to give them a more ‘shabby’ look.

Tags by Karen Shady

MHC Products used: Taniesha mixed pack

* * *

Another beautiful, shabby card from Elena.

Elena had added just a hint of brown ink to the edge of the petals, to grunge them up a little, to better suit her card

Card by Elena Olinevich

MHC Products used: Celeste – Pink, Mini glitter roses – pink.

* * *

We love these 2 adorably cute layouts by Nancy. Starring her 2 gorgeous babies.

Nancy has used blue paint to alter the white flowers to match her layout. She simply put a small amount of blue paint into a spray bottle, and watered it down. Nancy said she was very pleasantly surprised at how well the paint took to the flowers. This is a very inexpensive alternative to buying ready made spray inks.

Layouts by Nancy Winter

MHC Products used: Poetry – bronze, Apple blossom – altered, Imagine – cocoa, Poetry – sage

* * *

And, lastly, another beautiful mixed media layout by Elena. Elena is the queen of mixed media, and on this layout she has used lots of awesome paints and inks to completely change the look of her flowers.

Elena has been very inventive here. She has removed the centres of some of the flowers, and added them as the centre of others, giving a pretty 2 toned look to the flowers.

Layout by Elena Olinevich

MHC Products used: Celeste – white, Ashlee – white, Mia – green, Meadows- white.

* * *

We hope our post has inspired you to have a go at altering some flowers for yourself. You can see the gorgeous results.

Happy crafting

Wedding stationary and cards galore

Posted on March 16, 2013 by karenshady67

Hello, and welcome to our blog on this lovely Saturday morning.

We have some wonderful cards to share today, including a lovely ‘tropical inspired’ wedding stationary set from NANCY. We love this idea, and with our huge selection of flowers, you could create this stationary set to suit any wedding scheme imaginable.

Nancy has tucked in half cut flowers under the name cards etc. So just a few packets should be enough to do the entire number stationery required.

Nancy has added little shells on the MHC flowers to complement the tropical theme. Beach weddings are very popular at the moment, and this concept could be adapted to suit the flower theme of the wedding.

Below is a menu card or (whatever is needed) and a thank you card to complete the task of wedding stationery set.

Wedding stationary set by Nancy Winter

MHC Products used: Winters song – pink, Mayglo – yellow

Next up, is a beautiful shabby chic card, designed by TIFFANY. We love all the pretty layers on Tiffany’s card, and the lovely mauve tones of the Springtime and Dahlia flowers are the perfect addition.

Card by Tiffany Morgan

MHC Products used: Springtime – Mauve, Dahlia – Purple

* * *

GWEN created this soft, and delicate blue and grey card set. The sentiments are quite general, allowing you to use these cards for any occasion

Gwen has added ‘Tide pool’ coloured Glimmer glam to the Christmas – Angelic flower, to give it this brilliant aqua colour. One of the great things about the paper flowers in the MHC collections are their ability to take sprays, and inks.

Card set by Gwen Wruck

MHC Products used: Poetry – white (with outer leaves removed), Idyllic – Oatmeal, Christmas Angelic.

Another beautiful blue toned card, this time from MELINDA

Again, Melinda has sprayed some of our white flowers, in a gorgeous blue.

Gift ideas to inspire

Posted on December 29, 2012 by karenshady67

Well, Christmas is over for yet another year, but, if you are like me, it just seems to come around again way too fast. I have grand plans of making hand made cards and gifts for all my family members,but, time always runs out, and I never end up doing half of what I planned to do. So, my plan is to start now, surely if I start in January, I can get them finished by December right?. So, here are just a few more wonderful ideas from our design team girls, both for Christmas, and other occasions, in the hopes that I can get myself, and you guys motivated to start creating some beautiful handmade cards,and gifts, all ready for next year.

Elena shares some of her tips for making this wonderful wreath, ‘ I covered the wreath by wrapping some linen around a chipboard shape, I made some canvas bows, and gessoed randomly over them. I also misted the wreath with some starbust mist, which has added a pretty shimmer to it. I finished off by adding some festive, silver balls.’

Gift giving the Manor House Creations way

Posted on December 18, 2012 by karenshady67

Hi, here we are again, with a few last minute Christmas gift, and decoration ideas. Even if you dont have any more time left this year to create these, they are wonderful ideas, and well worth planning to do next year.

* * *

Firstly, Karola has made this wonderful Christmas wreath.

Karola shares her ideas for creating this wreath: I was tired of using traditional Christmas colours on my Christmas wreath’s, so, I decided to go with this unusual, but, I think, very effective colour combination. I chose Capri – Orchid and Lullaby- White flowers as well as kilometers of beige ribbon and a few die-cut elements which I cut out using my die-cutting machine and snowflake/ winter branch dies. I stuck everything using my hot glue gun and 3d foam tape on my small styrofoam wreath. To create a lighter, and more decorative look I also used big paper doily to create a kind of background for my wreath.

Christmas wreath by Karola Witzcak

MHC Producrs used: Capri – Orchid, Lullaby- White, Glitter mini roses – Caramel

* * *

And, yet, another stunning Christmas wreath from Erin, who has chosen a more traditional, but no less gorgeous colour combination.

Christmas wreath by Erin Blegen

MHC Products used: Glitter mini roses- red, Glitter mini roses- white, Capri- gold, Meadows- white, Springtime- white

* * *

Nancy has this wonderful gift idea to share. She has created an adorable ‘Santa baby’ mini album. Nancy says: I have used a rectangular, wooden album, with the song lyrics of “Santa Baby” throughout the album. It ends with 10 extravagant wishes of my very own

Wouldnt this album make a cherished gift, for a Grandparent, or Aunt or Uncle, full of precious baby photos. Or, you could even leave the album blank, ready for the lucky recipient to add their own photos to it.

‘Santa baby’ album by Nancy Winter

MHC Products used: Glitter mini roses – red, Capri – gold.

* * *

Karola, once again, blows us away with her amazing talent. This time with this wonderful ‘Christmas house’.

Heres what Karola has to say about creating her Christmas house ‘When I saw this small, wooden house, which was originally a key hanger, I decided to create a cute, Christmas house. I covered the house shape using patterned papers then went searching for just the right flowers to decorate it. It was an easy decision to make, the Glitter mini roses, in red, white and caramel were perfect. I also used a large white Lotus flower to create a focal point on the roof. The center of the flower I covered by small circle die-cut to give it contrast, then added a chipboard snowflake to the bottom to finish.’

Christmas house by Karola Witzcak

MHC Products used: Glitter mini roses – red, white, caramel, Lotus – white.

* * *

Lastly, Karola shares with us a few more of her divine Christmas tags she is so renowned for. These ones are amazing, just look

Tags by Karola Witzcak

MHC Products used: Glitter mini roses – white, red, caramel, Capri – white/silver, Fantasy – moonlight, Silver bells.

Well, thats all we have for you today, we hope we have inspired you to have a go at creating some wonderful, handmade gifts for your loved ones.
