Happy Easter

Hello and Happy Easter weekend to everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I have made a cute Easter card to share with you all. 

I used Maja Design papers on my card today which worked so well in creating my Easter Parade. My rabbits were so much fun to build up, I added cotton tails onto them and a drop of Black Liquid Pearls into the centre of their eyes.

My girl rabbit I also added a Diamanté onto her bow and a little lace onto the edge of her dress. I glued them in place with some Silicone Glue to add dimension mounting them onto my grass border, aren't they so cute.

My sun was layered twice and my banner was curled at the edges and mounted with Silicone Glue for dimension adding my Happy Easter sentiment.

Happy New Year 2016

Happy New Year to everyone, let's hope 2016 is a wonderful year ! Today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I have made a celebration card that could easily be adapted into another type of card by simply changing the words.

I started off by cutting layers using plain and patterned Cardstock ( Craft Consortium - Bloom Beautiful ) and tattering the edges of the faux stitched layers.

I layered up my Ornament Flourish and Word dies twice to give a shadow effect.

My Sentiment Tag was also tattered around the edges.

Finishing off with a few sparkly gems and a double layered Butterfly.

Crafty Hugs and I hope you have a nice weekend.

Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and Santa left you all some lovely craft goodies.

Today I am sharing my Cheery Lynn Designs DT New Year card to coincide with this weeks Festivities as we enter 2015.

I started by mounting cream and gold card together which I have distressed at the edges with my distress tool for a shabby worn look.

My clock you will see I also went around the edges of the Angel Wing with my tool. I added lots of sparkle from gems and put the hands of my clock to just after midnight to symbolise the start of the New Year.

My glasses also had sparkling gems added to symbolise the bubbles in the Champagne.

I would like to wish everyone a Creative 2015.

Happy New Year

Hi Everyone, I hope you have all had a creative week of crafting.

This week for my Cheery Lynn Designs DT card I am showcasing their new release die Vienna Waltz which comes in a set of 3. I have made a card which is a simplistic design, but with the detail of the dies it gives a beautiful ornate look.

The Vienna Waltz dies are designed to inter-link with our Circle Classic dies. Should you decide to combine them together you can layer a perfect match to the front or behind, as I did on this card.

You will see I cut out plain cardstock using the circles to make my ornate details pop on the white card and also cut my floral paper nesting it neatly into the centres on the front. I cut my die in half and placed it at either side.

My centre die is using the next size down in the Vienna Waltz collection, layering coloured card behind again to show the die cut off. My Happy Birthday has been layered with 2 shades of card for a shadow effect. Stickles and a little bling added onto the centre die to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today and I'll see you all soon.

New Release at Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi Everyone. Today is a very exciting day over at CheeryLynn Designs as their latest release of dies are showcased. They have many new wonderful Themed Dies and an amazing new collection of Doily Dies in squares, circles and rectangles called their Diamond Doily collection. These dies are going to become a staple in many of our collections of dies. There versatility to mix and match with stacker dies, we will now all have a lot more possibilities of different designs and patterns.

For my card I used 3 of the New Release dies on this card. The centre of the doilies comes out and is able to be placed anywhere on a piece of paper or in to a decorative stacker frame. You will notice in the background that I cut using the centre part of my doily on all four corners and layered dark card behind to make it pop. I thought I had taken a photo of this stage but I think with the excitement on using these new dies I forgot, but will take one the next time I do this technique, so it becomes clearer.

I did the same technique on my fishtail banner with the Alpine Flourish Doilies centre. I also mixed and match my doily layers for different designs.

Bling, Butterflies and a Flower were all placed on my card to finish. Please pop over to the blog here to see all the other cards made from our Talented Team at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Happy New Year card

Hello Everyone, thanks for stopping by today. 

This week I have gone a bit Christmassy again with my Cheery Lynn DT card but this time incorporating the New Year onto it.

My wine glasses, bottle and New Year are from their latest release. I mounted my glasses and bottle onto different coloured card, fussy cut around and added some bling. I sanded the paper slightly on my wine glasses and bottle for a shabby feel.

My Happy New Year was layered twice with different colours of card to add dimension.

My Poinsettias I layered up and sprayed with a little gold mica spray for added sparkle. The flourishes I kept some complete and others I cut in half and added into areas of my card to accent.

Thanks again for all your comments, I hope to be back on Monday with my CCC3 Challenge project as just about finished it.

Doily Flower Card

Hello there my Blogging friends, where does time fly to, I can't believe we have almost been home a week from our break in Majorca, but the good news is I think we brought the sunshine home with us as it has been the most beautiful week here in Scotland. 
Yesterday I went around our local Garden Centre with my Mum and at this time of year it's full of so much inspiration seeing all the gorgeous flowers in full bloom. I am still playing catch up trying to visit everyone's blog so please bear with me.  
This week for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs is a card for a Birthday which would be suitable for a variety of occasions by simply changing the wording with Cheery Lynn word dies.

My flowers were cut out using white cardstock and inked to shade them. I layered various leaves and my tiny flourishes to form an arrangement on my card. My doily I also inked and added the Angel wing die offset to the back of the doily to make everything POP. You will see my Border strip was also inked in two shades and matches my Doily.

Hope you all have a beautiful sunny weekend wherever you may be. Thanks to everyone who left comments on my last card while I was on Holiday, much appreciated.
