August Blog Hop - Fall and Winter New Release

Hi everyone, today at Cheery Lynn Designs we are a having a fun Blog Hop as we introduce the new Fall and Winter Dies, another amazing release that you are going to adore.

My card today showcases the cute new snowman/snowlady and the super sentiment Let It Snow along with some previously released Dies.

It was so much fun bringing these cute snowmen to life. I cut them both out in glitter card and used Ultra Fine tipped pens to highlight my embossed areas and used Copic pens to colour my White Glitter card on their noses and arms.

My Let It Snow sentiment was shadow layered with Black Glitter cardstock to give a 3D effect.

My snowflakes on the corners come with the Let It Snow Sentiment and I added some bling into the centres for extra sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by today and I'd love if you left a comment before hopping to your next stop LISA'S blog. Be sure to finish the hop to be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Happy Crafting,

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with you a few tips on how to get dimension into your Dies cuts.

My card today uses Maja Design papers,  I started by cutting out my Stacker layers and tattering at the edges with my scissors and tearing out small sections of the paper and inserted my lace style die cut for detail.

My butterflies were all cut out twice and I moulded the wings to give shape with my fingers. I pressed them into my Versamark Ink pad and heat embossed with a Pearl Embossing powder. Whilst still warm I held my wings so they stayed curled as they cooled and would then constantly remain in this shape. This is a great way so your wings don't flatten especially if posting a card.

My flowers I sprayed my die cuts with a little water and moulded each petal in a concertina effect. I next dried with my heat gun and then teased my petals back out to show the crinkles and shaped the layers on my Embossing mat then added a Pearl and Stamens into their centres.

I accented my Doily top and bottom of my card adding half a flower onto them and used the matching mini Doily behind my centre butterfly.
