Cheery Lynn Designs Blog Hop Sept 2016 - Gift Envelopes

Hi Everyone, we are all so excited at Cheery Lynn Designs today to be launching the cutest dies called Gift Envelopes in our current Blog Hop.    

                                                    

These small cards and gift envelopes have a super range of miniature dies to decorate your cards and envelopes.       

I decided these cards and envelopes would look great as a gift for someone that appreciates handcrafted cards. So I decided to make a small box to give them in, using my Scorpal Board. You will see a tutorial on their blog should you be unsure of how to work out your measurements.

As you can see on my box I have added the ever so cute little birds with a spot of Black Liquid Pearls.

I added my flower into the centre of my bow and attached my tag with the word wish, which had been cut down from a Gift Envelope sentiment Wishes.

The following photos show my cards. 

Our Tiny Doilies fit perfectly onto these cards.

I also made some extra envelopes, stamping a design onto the opening to customise them.

Aren't these dies amazing. Please carry on the hop where you will see my Teamies showcasing several other dies in this new range.

Love for you to leave a comment to let me know you have stopped by and carrying on with the hop until you get back to Cheery Lynn Designs for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree.

Your next stop on our blog hop is LISA.

Crafty Hugs,

Stitching Time

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by my blog today to see my DT project for Cheery Lynn Designs. I have a small sewing I bought in a sale a few years ago and it lies neglected in my craft room so this weeks challenge was the perfect inspiration I needed to use it.

I love the Tiny French Pastry Doily die and it's versatility of using complete, to compliment the other sizes it comes in or cutting it into sections. On this card I cut it out in black card to accent on layers of my card and also in brown card to use as photo corners on my topper.

My flower has been made by cutting out an old lint bandage with the Gardenia strip, I then sprayed my petals with some water and coloured with distress stain. Scrunched the material and dried with my heat gun. Once dry I unravelled them and layered a few together with a couple of stitches and a little lace.

My zig zag is made by cutting out the Expandable Tiny Borders in Kraft paper. I put a little faux stitching in the centre before spraying with a little water to scrunch it up for texture and only put a little glue in some areas so it didn't lie flat on the card. I stitched some lace into the layers using my machine. Adding on my other embellishments and die cuts to finish.


I'll be back on Tuesday next week to share the post with my other Teamies as we showcase the exciting New Release at Cheery Lynn Designs.


I'd love if you have time to leave me a comment.

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.

 

Looking forward to catching up with all your blogs when I’m back home.
Take Care,

Thinking of You

Hello there Blogging friends.
For my DT post over at Cheery Lynn Designs this week I made a Thinking of You card which could easily adapt to many different occasions using the Cheery Lynn word dies.

 I had a lot of fun making this card. I used the Square Classic to cut out all my small frames and edged them with embossing powder on the outside and inside of the frames. I layered 3 frames with foam pads to give more dimension onto my card and kept the one with the wording flat. Layering them up onto different sizes of the Square Scalloped die. These 2 dies compliment each other so you don’t have to think about measuring out everything for your card, the dies do the job for you.
