Cheery Lynn Designs Blog Hop introducing IOE Plates

Hello there and welcome to our latest blog hop at Cheery Lynn Designs. We are all excited to be showcasing with you the new IOE Plates, where you decide what part of your embossing folder you want to emboss. You can also mix and match your embossing folders to make endless designs. All the info is HERE and clearly explained on a video link about these amazing plates.

I am first on the blog hop, so at the end of my post please just click on Lisa's name to carry on hopping.

It was the Spring Equinox here in the UK at the weekend so I thought it would be nice to share a Vintage Springtime Card.

My Pocket Watch I coloured with Copic Pens and mounted onto my Angel Wing which had been given three layers of Pearlised Embossing Powder. Once glued in place I reheated my Embossing Powder to give the illusion of my numbers being set into the Pearl background similar to on a watch.

Finishing off my card with a sweet little Bunny and his cotton tail.

I'd love if you leave me a comment to let me know you have stopped by on our BLOG HOP and be sure to head over to your next stop LISA, to see her amazing card.

Hope you get the chance to follow through to the end of this hop where you will see how versatile these IOE Plates are as you see my Teamies beautiful cards. Leaving a final comment at Cheery Lynn Designs Blog for a chance to win a gift certificate for $20 to spend in their shop. Good Luck.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Happy Crafting to all,

Cheery Lynn New Release

Hi Everyone, We are all very excited at Cheery Lynn Designs as this is the first New Release of 2015 and is being launched at the CHA show. I feel so honoured and proud to know my cards will be on display at the Cheery Lynn Designs Stand.

I am showcasing 3 of the new dies today, so please also pop over to the Cheery Lynn blog HERE to see what my talented team mates are showcasing from the New Release. This is a fantastic Release giving you even more versatility with your die cuts, as you can make a variety of patterns with the new border dies and I had amazing fun working with them.

This first card shows one of the new sets of words. Once Upon A Time, I love this little saying as it is so Apt for many cards or scrapbook pages. I decided to use this on a baby card.

You will see in this first photograph I tattered the edges of my layers and then cut out strips from the Horizon frame and paper pieced layering on some ric rac.

Here I started to layer on a row of my corner dies in blue around my frame.

Here you will see another row being placed on.

I placed my ruler across my card to get my wording straight, double layering it.

My next card

For my Easter card I have used 2 other new dies,

Happy Easter which was layered up twice and I added some flowers from my Tiny Flower kit.

Now if you look down the sides of this card again you will see this lace pattern. This is one of our new clever border/edger dies which come in sets of 3 and can interlink together or you can use one at a time. You decide where you want to place it on your card to cut. They also compliment Doilies that were out in our previous release for even more versatility and choice to match up on your craft projects.
