Vintage Sprigs

These remind me so much of my cake decorating days - I kid you not!!

They are so sweet and beautiful flowers, beads. leaves, and vintage and new flowers... all wired together and bound with florist tape

I love them - and the reaction - is pretty positive too!! I certainly will be making lots more as they are selling well

You can find them in the flower section of the shop - HERE.

Michelle has had a chance to play with them and here is her layout. I am sure you will see more from the Design Team as they create more with them in the weeks to come

You see they are smaller than vines from companies such as Prima ..... these little vintage sprigs are just 12 - 15 cm - and each one is its own work of art. They are just the thing to finaish off a page or a off the page project without overdoing things! And you won't see the same one on everyone elses work .... so yours will stand apart.

Here are the new Merrily Merrily buttons to match the star flowers - I do love these!! How great are these for your beach holiday layouts .... I love these for those boy layouts too

Merrily Merrily Star Flowers are HERE

 Or Coming up Roses star flowers with their cute buttons to match

And the new Country Girl Ruffle flowers with vintage centres - how great are these?

So I have been busy and I hope you love what I have brought you this week - I am in the middle of fixing up our house for sale - so wish me luck - I am hoping that it all goes smoothly

Til next time

Seam Binding and Hat Pins

These have to be some of my best sellers - once you become addicted to seam binding it does not let you go....

why?? It is shimmery, verigated and scrunched, soft and works well with all sorts of layouts and applications..... from heritage, to shabby chic, to baby to grownups - there are a huge range of colours and so many applications

You can use it to ....

• Tie into gorgeous bows... big and small
• Use on tags
• gather and stick ont the page
• Use to tie things together - such as mini albums
• platt together
• Make ribbon roses

But the best thing about it - it that it just so beautiful! Soft and gorgeous.....  You can see the full range here in my shop ... Vintage Seam Binding

Here are a few of the colourways samples in the shop at the moment:

Citrus Fizz

Coral Reef

Hat Pins 

And Hat Pins .... these beauties are just so beautiful - I ensure they are excellent quality as I buy my beads and findings fomr all over the world and use only the highest quality beads in glass, a small amount of plastic and metal. The quality is just outstanding and they are made to add a real zing to your page, card or as a wearable item.

I use in my hat pins:

• Faceted glass and crystal beads
• metal fings such as bead tops, spacers and accent beads
• Diachrondric glass 
• Glass based pearls
• Freshwater pearls
• Cats eye beads
• Rondels and coronets
• charms such as butterflies, hearts and flowers

There are other hat pins available so look for the quality and clarity that your work deserves. Certainly I could produce hat pins more cheaply if I used plastic materials but I feel the quality is what makes Tattered Inspirations Hat Pins stand out fromt eh rest... :)

You can see the full range of hat pins here in the shop ...... Hat Pins
