MeiFlower featured in Prima magazine
January 10th, 2012
Hello Everyone,
Got some exciting news to share with you today.
Sue McNeill, Prima’s deputy editor has featured MeiFlower on page 129 in the February edition of Prima magazine. Here’s what Sue had to say.
” On a recent visit to a craft fair in Birmingham, I came across a store selling gorgeous ribbons. I always add a pretty ribbon to cards, gifts and flowers – it’s just a way of adding a luxurious touch without spending too much money.
So I was pleased to discover that the whole selection can be found online at www.meiflower.co.uk. With prices from 50p for 2m, the ribbons cost a fraction of the price you’d pay in a fancy store. “
Just goes to show you never know who might end up buying from you ! Thanks Sue for featuring us in the magazine and i’m glad you liked the ribbons.

Hi Everyone,
Happy new year to you all, hope you all had a great Christmas and a relaxing holiday…. I know i did, lol. I even managed to sneak in a little bit of crafting.
A group of us went shopping and I was one of the first who was up and ready on Boxing day (ready to go with my left-over turkey sandwiches) for the January sales. I think i may have even been one of the first to get through the doors, I love my cheap bargains and I’m sure many of you do too.
However i was MAJORLY disappointed, the sales were definitely not that great this year and now looking at my shopping list that’s been stuck on the fridge door for months . . . I didn’t even manage to buy a single thing on it! Seriously not happy.
Anyway this got me thinking about what kind of sale to offer on my website. Should I put on sale craft supplies which are not selling, out of date, or just so last year . . . I think not. I’m going to do 25% OFF everything in store!
That’s right, no small print just nice and simple anything and everything online is 25% off.
So to end first of all THANK YOU everybody for taking time to read and comment on my blog, I really appreciate it. Secondly enjoy your bargains and Happy Shopping & I will catch up with you all soon.
Tinsel Like Glitter
December 18th, 2011
Hi Everyone
Just thought I share my Christmas card with. Not had much time this year to make all my friends and family a Christmas card, managed to make a few.
My Christmas card design for my family
I have used a Christmas Tree stamp from Dimension Stamps, Christmas paper I had in my stash. A piece of cerise grosgrain ribbon. I have used double sided tape on the top and bottom edge of the card, sprinkled tinsel effect glitter which I bought from Glitter Magic at the Craft show at the NEC.
Silver tree finished off with pink gems
I love this Christmas Tree stamp, I think it is quite a timeless design which I would use again and again. I have embossed the tree with silver embossing powder to give a more of a contemporary feel. I have finished off the card with self adhesive pink gems and a cerise pink gingham bow.

Meet Colette Our New Designer
December 12th, 2011
Hi Everyone
Wanted to announce that we have a new designer as part of the Meiflower design team – Colette.
Colette already designs for my friend Wendy at Clipart Fairy, her work is fab!!!
So here is a pic of Colette, abit about her background and a gorgeous sample of her work.
Colette Our New Designer
“Like most card makers I started out doing lots of other crafts before I settled into card making. Over the years I have done cross stitch, flower arranging, cake decorating, Faberge style Egg decorating and finally about ten years ago I started doing a little card making, then scrapbooking. Once I discovered digital products there was no stopping me. I now have quite a few digital papers, stamps, clipart, kits etc. My hubby is sitting here laughing as I am writing this and telling me I have about a third of a million digital files, I did say I had quite a few, didnt I LOL”!
‘I like to design my cards in Photoshop before I print them out and make them up, and love adding lots of pretty and sparkly things to finish them off.’
Colette Cute Rocker card
‘For this card I have used Add-on 1, which contains two versions of the topper and decoupage, either ready to print, which is what I have used, or an editable version so that you can add your own sentiment or personalisation. I used Nellie Snellen Multi Frame die MFD020 to cut out the sentiment panel, the gingham ribbon, pearls and little ‘made with love’ charm are from MeiFlower and the beaded pin is from The Ribbon Girl.‘
Love this card Colette!
