Say it with Flowers

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some more inspiration using another of their beautiful Mega Doilies on my card that measures approximately 8 x 8 inches square.

The Italian Flourish Doily comes in 3 sizes and on this card I have used 2 of them on my layers. Both were cut out in white cardstock and some Distress ink added to the edges. I like to not put glue on the edges of my Doilies, only adding some to the centre. I find this helps to put a little movement into the design and softens the look.

My Daisies have 4 layers on them with a little Distress ink and a Pearl added into the centres. You will notice that two of the layers of petals are folding down the way and two folding up the way, this helps give stability to the flowers.

Happy Birthday was stamped with Archival ink and mounted onto a little cheesecloth and foam strips for extra dimension.

Finishing off with Pearl Strands, Accents of Pearls on my flourishes and a pretty double layered Butterfly.

Hello Beautiful

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by today to see my DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs.

My card uses one of the many pretty background designed Dies. I started by cutting this out in pearlised cream cardstock and mounted onto the same card to form the base of my card. Cheery Lynn's word dies come in two different sizes which are great for layouts and cards. I decided to use the smaller Die on my word Hello and the larger Die on my word Beautiful.

My Daises were cut out in the same cream cardstock adding Distress Ink onto them and Prills into the centres. I mounted them onto my Ivy Corner Flourish which I also arranged a few extra leaves using my Ivy Strip Die and finished with some Butterflies.

Faith Hope Love

Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a card with the elegant Die Cut sentiment Faith, Hope, Love which could be used on a variety of cards or alternatively on a Scrapbook Layout possibly with Wedding photographs.

I started by cutting out my Pierced Stacker Dies in Square and a Circle and embossed the edges with Silver Embossing powder, using Maja Design papers.

I matted and layered my centrepiece with foam tape between the layers to add dimension to my card and added a contrasting blue square of Cardstock behind my Doily to help it 'pop' gluing my sentiment onto the circle.

Using my Flourish #3 Die I cut this out in 2 shades of green card and arranged elements of this Die onto my card.

Finishing off with a pretty butterfly.

Sister Celebration

Hi to all my crafty friends, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a shabby chic style card using many of the beautiful floral and lace style dies.

My card measures 8x5 Inches and I started by adding a patterned layer of paper to my card which I added Frantage, distressed at the edges and added some ink. I also added a couple of corner accents and my double layered inked butterfly.

My next couple of layers were torn across the page and my small doily and leaves inserted behind. These layers were added with foam strips for extra dimension.

My main image was mounted onto my frame with foam strips. I added Frantage, my word Sister and a Flower into the girl's hair for extra detail.

My flourish was cut down and all the parts placed in at different angles. Adding my flowers and extra leaves finishing with accents of Pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering the Fortnightly Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Birthday Wishes

Hi fellow crafters, thanks for stopping by today to see my latest DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs using one of their fabulous Cardmaker dies. This is a scheduled post as I am taking a break from Blogland for the next few weeks but will continue to see your crafty makes on Facebook and Instagram.

I started by matting and layering Craft Consortium's Wild Rose papers tattering them at the edges for a shabby feel. My Cardmaker layer I added foam dots behind to lift for extra dimension, I love the intricate design of the cardmaker overlay on my card.

Then onto my favourite part arranging my flowers which have been shaded with Distress inks and Flower Soft added to the centres. Finishing off with my butterfly, added bling and my drop shadowed sentiment.

I hope you feel inspired to join in the Current Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

Cheery Lynn Designs - Blog Hop July 2016

Hi everyone, Thanks for stopping by today, we are all so excited at Cheery Lynn Designs to be launching a new IOE Birthday Oval Embossing Folder. If you didn't see our previous blog hop on the amazing IOE plates you can see a video HERE.

I decided to make a card in the shabby vintage style I love. Let me take you through the different stages making my card.

As you can see from this photo I wanted to use the outside edge of my Birthday Oval Folder and the filigree corners from our previously released folder,

so I used my IOE plates to emboss these areas and highlighted with some Gilding Wax.

Next I placed my IOE plates onto my Happy Bithday and embossed my patterned paper. I fussy cut around the edge and mounted my image on with a little Cheesecloth accent and Gilding Wax to highlight the wording.

I now started to add all my layers together.

My floral bouquet I added Flower Soft and a Sparkly Gem to the centres of my flowers.

I heat embossed the word friend with a copper powder and highlighted my embossed areas with some more gilding wax.

Thanks for all your continued comments on our Blog Hop days, and I would love for you to leave a comment today so I know you have stopped by on our hop and to be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Your next stop on the Blog Hop is my talented Teamie Lisa.

Crafty Hugs to you,

Pretty Bows

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my latest vintage style DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs .

This photo shows you the start of my layers. You will see I have shaded the edges with Distress Ink and used my Distress tool around the edges of my card for a shabby look.

My Butterfly I used embossing powders on and added a little button onto the centre.

My bow once die cut out I tattered the edges with my Distress Tool adding a little ink to the edges.

My flowers were all shaded with Distress Inks and shaped using my embossing mat, adding little buttons into the centres.

Thanks for stopping by to see my post today.

Shabby Butterflies

Hi Crafty Friends, I seem to have fallen behind catching up with your blogs but I have been under the weather with a kidney infection recently and hope to catch up soon. My Cheery Lynn Designs DT project this week that I'm sharing with you is a Shabby Style card with some mixed media on it. It is approximately 5 3/4 inches square in size.

Here is the start of the layers on my card. I cut a square of patterned paper and then placed my Dutch Daisy Border die on with some low tack tape to cut. I used my Distress Tool around the edges and added a couple of scraps of paper which I inked at the edges.

I then applied some Texture Paste through a strip of Sequin Waste to act as a Stencil. Once dry I added a little Distress ink to coordinate with the paper.

I used the large and medium die in the Sentiment Tag set, cutting white cardstock and adding a little Distress ink to the larger die before layering up and adding some Stickles around the middle. I then layered onto my Alpine Flourish.

My Butterflies were cut in patterned paper and layered up twice.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my card and now feel inspired to try this style of card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a creative weekend,

Butterflies and Flowers Card

Click to enlarge

Happy New Year to Everyone, I hope you have all had a wonderful time during the festivities. For my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs this week I decided to use the fabulous Chrysanthemum Strip to make an abundance of flowers for my card.

I started off by die cutting my background in a Dusky Pink Shade.

My doily was edged with Spun Sugar ink at the edges and in the centre, this softened the starkness of the White Cardstock against my vintage image and I also added some Pearlised Glitter glue.

My flowers were made by adding a little Spun Sugar ink into the centres of each layer. I used my embossing tool to shape the petals, layering up and adding Flower Soft to the centres.

My leaves were cut out in different shades of Green and my Butterflies were double layered with 2 shades of Pink Cardstock.

Finally arranging my floral bouquet onto my card.

See you all next week.

Flutterby Butterfly

Hi Everyone, hope you are having a nice weekend and getting some crafty time to yourself. I love the elegance of white on white cards although Chris wouldn't agree for photographing LOL. Anyway this week my DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs I joined in with the challenge - Things with Wings, as I felt inspired to combine both things together.

My corners I creased slightly down the middle and glued at the edges to give a 3D effect. I also layered up my dies but rather than gluing totally flat onto my card, I layered with silicone glue to encourage the light to reflect in between the layers to show the beauty of my die cuts.
