Cheery Lynn New Release

Hi Everyone, We are all very excited at Cheery Lynn Designs as this is the first New Release of 2015 and is being launched at the CHA show. I feel so honoured and proud to know my cards will be on display at the Cheery Lynn Designs Stand.

I am showcasing 3 of the new dies today, so please also pop over to the Cheery Lynn blog HERE to see what my talented team mates are showcasing from the New Release. This is a fantastic Release giving you even more versatility with your die cuts, as you can make a variety of patterns with the new border dies and I had amazing fun working with them.

This first card shows one of the new sets of words. Once Upon A Time, I love this little saying as it is so Apt for many cards or scrapbook pages. I decided to use this on a baby card.

You will see in this first photograph I tattered the edges of my layers and then cut out strips from the Horizon frame and paper pieced layering on some ric rac.

Here I started to layer on a row of my corner dies in blue around my frame.

Here you will see another row being placed on.

I placed my ruler across my card to get my wording straight, double layering it.

My next card 

For my Easter card I have used 2 other new dies,

Happy Easter which was layered up twice and I added some flowers from my Tiny Flower kit.

Now if you look down the sides of this card again you will see this lace pattern. This is one of our new clever border/edger dies which come in sets of 3 and can interlink together or you can use one at a time. You decide where you want to place it on your card to cut. They also compliment Doilies that were out in our previous release for even more versatility and choice to match up on your craft projects.

Gone Fishin

Hello there Blogging friends and also a warm welcome to my new followers. This week for my DT at Cheery Lynn Designs I combined our challenge of red, white and blue into my card.

 I matted and layered my seaside themed papers using the stacker dies, to make them look like a picture frame with a little scene inside. I used the new Old Barn Board die which comes with the words, log and fishing line. The log was cut out in Kraft paper and I distressed the edges, I placed a few foam pads in the middle and glue at the edges this added more dimension to my card. My stamped image had a fishing line on it, which I cut off. You will see the extended bit on my fishing line is now made using my die, don’t you just love the little hook on the end of this. I pressed the hook into my embossing ink and double embossed using silver embossing powder and threaded a few beads through it to give a 3D look of a float on the line.

My birds are from the birdbath set and my little Starfish was made using the leaves from the miniature rose die.
 I am off to sunny Majorca for a week, my daughter works in the Airline Industry so nice cheap flights, we couldn’t say no to, so my post next week will be a scheduled one. Look forward to catching up with all your blogs when I get back.

 Thanks for popping by my blog and enjoy your weekend.
