Let It Snow

Hi everyone today I'm sharing my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs. The clocks changed last weekend in Scotland and there is definitely a wintry feel in the air now which inspired me to make my winter scene using the pretty Maja Design papers and some of our vast range of amazing Festive and Winter dies.

I started my card by tattering at the edges two layers of paper and adding a scattering of Frantage for a snowy effect. My rosette styled Snowflower was cut out in glitter card adding Holly, Pine Branches and layering on my cute snowman.

My Let It Snow was drop shadowed and layered onto my Stackers with a little cheesecloth and Frantage for extra detail. I mounted my Dancing Snow Flurries Border around my sign using sections of this Die to form the oval shape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Happy Mothers Day

Hello everyone, here in the UK we celebrate Mother's Day this month so for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I thought it would be nice to share some inspiration that could easily be adapted into many other occasions by changing the centre sentiment.

Using Craft Consortium's paper pad "Wild Rose" for my card I cut out my Heart Stacker Die and layered on my Stitched Squares which I distressed at the edges to give a material patchwork effect.

Next I layered my Doily onto the centre.

My flowers were cut in White Cardstock and shaded with Distress Inks adding Flower Soft into the centres of one of my favourite smaller flower Dies - Sweet Christine and my Chrysanthemums I added gems to their centres.

My heart I backed onto White Cardstock and kept all the negative cut hearts adding onto my card for extra detail.

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you have a lovely week with some time to create.

Happy Crafting,

Dream Forever

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am delighted to be sharing some more inspiration from their new Bohemian Collection on my Dream Forever card.

Have you noticed on Cheery Lynn's Stacker Dies you can get Stitched and Pierced details at the edges of these Dies or just left plain. I love all these extra touches of detail and when I looked at the details on my Mandala Doily, Cowboy Boots and Dreamweaver Dies I noticed all the Pierced details so I knew I wanted to use one of the sets of Pierced Stackers. I chose the Coved Rectangles and added an accent from the outer edge of my Mandala Doily at the edges.

My Cowboy Boots were cut out of Kraft Cardstock highlighting all the embossed detail with a Fineliner Pen and a little ink to age them. I layered the swirls and buckles on twice and added a brad onto the boot. Aren't they so cool !

I cut my Mandala Doily out of Kraft Cardstock and paper from Maja Design, layering it on top for contrast. Next I cut out the centre and added my Dreamweaver Die which had also been layered twice. I extended the tassels on my Dreamweaver and hid the joins with my pretty flowers.

I offset the feathers to look as if they are blowing in the wind and added some small feathers that I pulled out of a feather pillow for added texture.

I finished with lots of pearls and a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you manage to get some creative time this week.

Halloween Trick or Treat Fun

Hi everyone I hope you had a lovely weekend and managed some creative time. Today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some more Halloween inspiration using many of the amazing Halloween dies that Cheery Lynn have.

My Witches Cauldron was cut out in black cardstock adding some Vintage photo Distress powder at the edges to give a rust effect. My flames and logs were cut out in White cardstock and coloured with Copic pens adding some Glossy Accents onto the flames.

My cute little Witch was cut from the Trick or Treat Border layering her with a foam pad.

My hills were die cut from my Stitched stacker die, I then fussy cut the shape of hills and highlighted the stitching effect with a black pen, distressing the edges and adding some black soot Distress ink.

My house I layered Orange cardstock behind to give a warm glow, layering on with foam pads and a spooky ghost behind. My stormy sky was created with inks and a cloud stencil.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to create a Halloween scene on a card or Scrapbooking page.

Cheery Lynn Designs May Release 2016 - Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by today. We are all so excited at Cheery Lynn Designs to be sharing with you our inspiration using the new May 2016 release. I am first up on the blog hop but if you get a little lost on route please just link back to Cheery Lynn Designs.

I was so excited to find out there was a few new birds in this latest release. If you follow me regularly you will know how much I adore Cheery Lynn's Bird dies and this Swan is an absolutely beautiful die to work with, filled with grace and elegance for any crafty project.

I die cut out my Swan 5 times in heavy cardstock and on 3 of the layers I cut off the head and neck part.

You will see on this photo I fluffed out the feathers to give a 3 D look and started to layer on 3 die cut body parts, finishing off with a complete Swan on my top section.

I shaded the Swans beak with Black and Orange Copics and a Fineliner pen to highlight the detail. Finishing off with a small drop of Black Liquid Pearls for the eye.

My background was shaded with Distress Inks, adding my Cattails and Reeds which were finished off with a little Flower Soft and Distress Glitter.

You will also notice a touch of Glossy Accents on my wave for a watery look.

My Sun was made from the Sunflower Die adding a stamped sentiment to the centre, finishing off with a few Dragonflies.

I'd love for you to leave me a comment so I know you have stopped by, I always love to read them.

Please carry on this hop where you will see more of the New Release dies showcased by my Teamies. Finishing back at Cheery Lynn Designs for a chance to win a $20 shopping Spree.

Easter Cupcake Baskets

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry I have fallen behind with visiting your lovely blogs recently but I am struggling with the glare off my IPad at present so it means I am only on for a limited time. Today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with you some Easter Inspiration using their fab new Cupcake die.

These cute little baskets which measure approx 3" diameter by 4" height are easy to make and once I worked out all the measurements it didn't take long to make the second one. So let me show you how to make them.

I started by cutting my Cupcake Wrapper from cardstock and added a double layer of grass to the base. To get the grass strip to curve around your cupcake die, layer on sections measuring about 2 inches in length, offsetting the grass on each layer.

For my base I used the 2 largest dies in the Circle Classic set. You will see in this photo I cut my die out and then drew around the outer part of my smaller die and fussy cut in some notches.

My Cupcake Wrapper I added a little bit of glue to the die cut join for added strength for the weight of my chocolate eggs and formed the shape of my cupcake. I then bent all my notches up on my circle and added a little glue to each one, pushing my circle down into my cupcake to form the base of my basket, pressing all the notches onto my cupcake wrapper.

This makes it all lovely and neat and the grass disguises the notches on the inside.

Next I added on my handle with some brads, you will notice I have the pretty side of my Brad to the inside of my basket as I hid the closure with a flower on the outside.

Now the fun bit of adding all my Easter Chicks, sweet Bunny and flowers.

I disguised my join on the cupcake wrapper be carefully placing a Chick or Bunny over the join.

I finished off my baskets with a pretty bow and some Chocolate Mini Eggs which had been gathered inside a Cello bag that we normally place our cards into. I tied with some Easter ribbon and a die cut Sweetheart Candy.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and you still have plenty of time to join in the Cheery Lynn Designs Fortnightly Challenge - Doilies.

Who Ate The Spider !

Hi Everyone, I am having so much fun with the Halloween Dies from Cheery Lynn Designs, creating little scenes on my cards that I just had to share another one with you for my DT project this week.

My background was created with Hickory Smoke and Stormy Sky and a Spiders Web Stencil.

My Washing Line and Moon were cut out in White Cardstock and coloured with Copics adding a little bling on to the Witches shoes.

My Tombstone was also cut out in White Cardstock and shaded with Distress inks. My Barbed Wire was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and a little Rust Coloured Stazon ink added to it.

As you can see my very naughty Horrible Cat ate the Spider off the web ! I cut my cat out in Black Cardstock and trimmed his head and front legs off. I then glued the body part in to a sitting position and placed a little Silicone Glue on to the back of his head and re positioned it for added dimension. My Spider I trimmed his legs down a little bit in an uneven way so they had a chewed look to them.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Merry Christmas my Reindeer

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my Cheery Lynn Designs DT card which is a Festive card made with some of their New Release dies.

My large Snowflake die was cut out in White Cardstock. I sprayed with glue and added some extra fine glitter on it. You will also notice that on my Pierced Stacker die cut the little pierced holes act as a super guide line for adding Stickles evenly - Unfortunately the camera hasn't picked up the sparkle too well.

My cute Reindeer was cut out in Kraft Cardstock adding a layer of White Cardstock to the back I shaded the areas with Red and Gold pens, adding a little ribbon to the neck and Stickles to the nose.

My Poinsettias were cut out in Patterned Cardstock, distressing lightly with ink and adding a few stamens.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend.

Dove Card

Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am showcasing the Peace Dove, a very elegant bird die with the most beautiful detail.

My layers are cut out in white and a pearlised lemon shade. This photo shows my first set of layers. I love the added detail the stitching stackers give to the edge of a card. I used my corners from the Royal Scandinavain Tag Set and added some gems on to it.

My next layers I also added some gems and layered with Silicone Glue for height and dimension.

My Dove I added some Distress Ink to the edges curling the wings slightly and adding a little lemon card behind to highlight the Dove's detail and a little gem on to its eye.
