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.

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.

Make a Stencil from a Die

Lovely of you to stop over at my Blog this May Bank Holiday weekend and a warm welcome to my new followers. I have exciting news to share with you all which is at the bottom of this post.
Thanks for all the comments last week on my Wagon, I was delighted to hear how much you all loved it.

I used a little frame for my project purchased from a bargain shop giving it a coat of Gesso sanding it back and rubbing on a little distress paint.

Using a sheet of Acetate I cut out my French Lattice Small Frame die. I now had a stencil. The idea in my head was I wanted to make my background look like an old Antique Delft Tile and thought this die would be perfect to use.

I layered some texture paste over my newly made stencil onto the back of the frame and once dry gave it a coat of Gesso to seal. I then stamped little Butterflies all over in different angles. Next placing my stencil back onto my work I brushed on some crackle paint. This way the paint only went onto the little tiles. When this had dried I rubbed some distress ink into the cracks. Don’t you think it looks like an old tile now ?

I used the Shasta Daisy to make some lovely bright flowers adding some Distress Ink into the centre of them along with a little Flower Soft. The little buds were made using the same die but instead of layering up this time I just crushed the paper at the base on one layer and placed in at an angle.

Now for my news - After finishing my Guest Design spot for April with Cheery Lynn Designs, I was ecstatic to be asked by BJ and Sandy to join the wonderful Design Team. I am so excited to continue sharing my ideas using their amazing dies with everyone – Dreams do come True. They have a weekly challenge which you can win $20 to spend in their shop on some new dies.

Hope you all have a creative weekend,
