#31 Tag Friday - Holiday Memories

Today over at A Vintage Journey HERE you will see fabulous inspiration from some of my fellow Creative Guides as we have at Tag Friday post. I decided with the holiday season in full swing to make a tag which captured a holiday memory for this young couple in the photograph from Tim's Photo Booth pack.

I started off with a Manilla Tag swiping through Antique Linen, Picket Fence and Weathered wood Distress Paints which had been spritz with some water. I dried my tag and stamped my script stamp from the Papillon set with Potting Soil Archival Ink and my flourish with Cobalt Blue. I went around the Word Paris with Glossy Accents to make it pop. Adding on some remnant rubs.

My photo booth pic I scratched the surface and added a remnant rub to it. My ephemera I gave a coat of clear Distress crackle paint and once dry rubbed on some Distress ink to highlight the crackles.

My Eiffel Tower was cut out from chipboard and given a mixed media effect.

Finishing off with a strip of lace and a star with some Alcohol Ink on it.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Gingerbread Tree

Hi Everyone, today for my Cheery Lynn Designs DT card, I am showcasing this adorable Gingerbread Family, I love how you can dress them up, aren't they so cute !

I started off by cutting out 2 Scalloped Squares in red cardstock trimming a strip off them both to form the length of rectangle required for my 8 x 6 card. My next layer I used my die cut edge strip, gluing the layers together and adding Stickles into all the small holes. I then sprinkled a little Red Tinsel Embossing Powder over my paper and heat set for a little more sparkle.

My pot for my Tree was made using a section from my die cut Sentiment Tag.I heat embossed Red Tinsel Embossing Powder on it and my word Believe.

I started layering sections of my Build a Christmas Tree onto my card to form a large tree and added Santas Sleigh.

My Gingerbread Family were coloured with Copics and Glitter Pens, highlighting the embossed details with a white pen. The girl's bows and dresses were layered twice.

The boy's hats I used Snowtec on them adding extra fine glitter whilst still wet and a few gems for buttons.

Thanks for stopping by.

Haunted House

Hi everyone, today I am sharing with you another DT card using some Halloween dies from the Cheery Lynn Designs - Latest Release.

I started off by making my own background paper with stamps and inks, matting and layering on to my stacker dies. Next I cut out my Spiders Web in purple card stock then placed them on to the corners and added purple Stickles around the edges.

My orange mat I added a little Distress ink and went around the pierced holes with a white pen, layering on to my card with a little Silicone Glue.

My Home Sweet Home die I layered up twice and added some yellow card stock behind the windows to make them pop and I pulled the windows to an ajar position.

With layering my house twice it gave my tree some extra added dimension and popped the house forward on my card rather than lying flush to the card stock.

My Bat was cut in black cardstock and offset with some white. I stamped my sentiment in clear Embossing ink and embossed with extra fine white Embossing Powder.

My cute figures were trimmed out of the Trick or Treat Border and offset with yellow card again to make them pop on my card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

New Release Cheery Lynn Designs July 2015

Hi Everyone, Today is the launch of the Cheery Lynn Designs July 2015 release of new dies. This launch showcases amazing Halloween, Christmas and New Word dies to name a few. Please head over HERE to see what my Teamies have also been making with the new dies.

I have 2 projects to show you today, the first one is a Trick or Treat bag which I'm sure would be lovely to give to extra special Halloween visitors. I started off with a paper bag measuring approximately 5" x 7" excluding the handles. I cut a piece of patterned paper, rubbed over some Picket Fence Distress stain to pale down the strong colours and give a shabby feel, adding some stitching around it and distressing the edges.

The spiders web is a corner die which comes with the Spider. I cut my web 4 times to form a full web layering in 2 colours for an extra creepy feel and to highlight the black from the web. My spiders I also double layered with green.

For my Trick or Treat sign I added Red Stickles and once dry I added Glossy Accents over the top to give a look of dripping blood. I then Layered on to white card for a shadow effect.

My Trick or Treat border I also layered twice for a shadow effect, aren't they so cute !

Finishing with my Pumpkin and a netted bow.

My next card showcases this cute Koala Bear. I decided to give him a cute and cuddly feel as I thought he would look lovely on a baby style card. I layered up my die cuts adding a little distress ink to them.

I trimmed my French lattice frame to fit behind the back of my Dutch Scallop frame for added detail.

My Koala was layered twice, coloured with Copics and a little Silicone Glue added behind his nose.

To finish off I added a bow with a flower in the centre.
