Rainy Day Friends

Hi Everyone, With an abundance of beautiful colours everywhere from Summer flowers I found myself inspired to make a brightly coloured card for my DT Post at Cheery Lynn Designs this week.

I used my Cuties Strip around the edge of my frame, layering on my doily and stamped sentiment with Silicone Glue. My Butterflies were layered 3 times using a smaller one in the centre and adding some gems.

My flowers were made using 3 layers of paper, shaped on my embossing mat and a few Pearl Stamens added to the centres.

On Your Special Day

Thanks for stopping by at my blog today. I have had blogger issues this week that I think a lot of you have also had, so apologies if I missed a post by you. Also. my mojo has been at an all time low recently....don’t you just hate when that happens. So for my Cheery Lynn Design post I decided to play along with their Wedding Theme Challenge and I was soon back on track.

I decided to make a 6x6 card and thought it would be nice to have colours resembling the bride, groom and bridesmaid on my card, so I chose White, Grey and Lavender to work with. I cut out my French Lattice die twice in grey card and pieced them together to fit over my lavender paper to form a square. When doing this I found it easier to have my lilac paper cut roughly to the size I needed. I then worked out where my crosses matched best to make my join and re-align the 2 pieces together and glued onto my lilac card, finally trimming around the edges. My topper is two stamps stamped onto a pearlised linen card and die cut out with a little grey card mounted behind to make the design POP.

You will see I have used my Cuties Strip around my card. The die makes gorgeous flowers but is also great to use as accents onto your card. I die cut out in white card and inked the edges with a lavender shade. On the reverse of the paper I pressed my embossing tool into each petal, this gives a little more dimension to your card as doesn’t look flat when glued on.

I placed the Victorian Flourish die onto my card and used a couple of the waste pieces onto my design too. My miniature roses were cut out from linen card and when the glue had dried I rubbed over some lavender ink. Everything was placed onto my card along with my final touches of bling.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and get some time to be creative.

Little Women

Hello there Blogging friends.
This is a scheduled post for my DT at Cheery Lynn Designs, as I am on holiday at present. This week I thought I would make an Easel card using one of the Reflections Boutique Mega Dies. These are really clever dies as they give you scope for cutting out many different sizes. They also cut out 2 layers of cardstock with ease so you can make shaped cards.

My flowers and doilies were cut out using white cardstock and inked. I added flowersoft into the centres of my flowers. I used the Cuties 3 strip curled around my image.
