A Birthday Recipe

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I have been having fun with the cute Cozy Kitchen Die set from their new Retro release on my Birthday Card.

I started by matting and layering my base layers together, tattering the edges of my Stitched Stackers and adding some accents of lace for a vintage feel, gluing in place with foam strips for dimension.

My sentiment has been stamped onto patterned Maja Design paper and I paper pieced sections of my Doily to form a frame. Adding some die cut buttons which have a little thread in the centres.

My apron I added a touch of coordinating lace around the hem and a little Silicone Glue in the pocket to help give dimension and placed the mixing spoons in it. My food mixer I added a cute little heart that can also be placed onto the apron.

Cheery Lynn Designs - Flower Power Blog Hop

Hi everyone, have you seen the vast range of exquisite Flower dies Cheery Lynn Designs do ? Well today you are in for a real treat as we all showcase some of these dies on our latest Blog Hop, so please make sure you carry on hopping to see my team mates creations.

When I make flowers I will either use patterned cardstock or cut in white paper and shade with inks. I love to use bling, micro beads and flower soft into the centre of my flowers. My leaves I also like to cut out of patterned paper or ink with a few shades of green for a realistic look.

My card this time shows flowers inked and flower soft added to the centres for a realistic look. I love to add a mix of different foliage, this adds extra detail and interest for a realistic look. Cheery Lynn has a vast range of foliage to add to your floral arrangements.

I added foam strips between my layers to add depth and shadow layered with some pink cardstock.
