Tis the Season

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Festive inspiration using their super fun new Brad the Reindeer Die.

I started by cutting out my background layers all in glitter card for lots of sparkle. My snowflake I layered two different snowflake Dies to form my snowflower adding lots of bling onto it. This was then placed onto my Holly Flourish which I cut into sections and placed around my snowflower.

Brad was cut out in a mixture of kraft, cream and glitter cardstock. I added a little Distress Ink onto the edges of his face. The antlers I used Distress Powder and a white Embossing powder for added texture.

August Blog Hop - Fall and Winter New Release

Hi everyone, today at Cheery Lynn Designs we are a having a fun Blog Hop as we introduce the new Fall and Winter Dies, another amazing release that you are going to adore.

My card today showcases the cute new snowman/snowlady and the super sentiment Let It Snow along with some previously released Dies.

It was so much fun bringing these cute snowmen to life. I cut them both out in glitter card and used Ultra Fine tipped pens to highlight my embossed areas and used Copic pens to colour my White Glitter card on their noses and arms.

My Let It Snow sentiment was shadow layered with Black Glitter cardstock to give a 3D effect.

My snowflakes on the corners come with the Let It Snow Sentiment and I added some bling into the centres for extra sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by today and I'd love if you left a comment before hopping to your next stop LISA'S blog. Be sure to finish the hop to be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Veriloquent Vintage Release Blog Hop - Cheery Lynn Designs July 2017

Today at Cheery Lynn Designs is Blog Hop day and what an outstanding release of stunning Vintage Dies this is. You are going to want them all !

I squealed with excitement when I saw the Gramophone ( Phonograph Die ), it reminds me of the Gramophone that sits in my dolls house. So let me show you how I built this Die up.

I started by cutting out my Die twice in Kraft Card, once in Miri card and once in Black card. I then trimmed all the sections I wanted in each colour and kept one complete section to glue all my parts onto.

I coloured my Kraft Card with a dark red and dark brown pen to give the look of mahogany wood, gluing all the sections together. Doing this helps to give added dimension to your die cut.

I also added a little gloss varnish onto my record and cut out the middle section with an old book page. 

Finishing with touches of Stazon Rusty Brown Ink at the edges of Miri Card to age it slightly.

My sentiment was stamped with Archival Ink and mounted onto the beautiful ornate new Dusty Miller Square Die.

Finishing my card with some pretty flowers and musical notes.

Thanks for stopping by and I'd love for you to leave me a comment before you hop over to LISA'S BLOG to see what beautiful Vintage Dies she has used on her card.

Be Happy

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a card using the beautiful flower die called Black Eyed Susan. I love the dimension you can get with these flowers and they always look so pretty on a card.

My card has been made using Craft Consortium's paper pad called Wild Rose and measures approx 7.5 inches by 5 inches. 

I starting by cutting my layers and adding some stitching for a shabby feel and an extra touch of detail, mounting on my Concentric Circles Mesh.

My Stackers have both been placed on with foam strips adding them both on at different angles adding on my Be Happy sentiment.

My flowers I used a quilling tool to wind the centres and shaped them on my Embossing mat.

A Boho Hello

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some inspiration using their amazing new Dies from the Bohemian Collection on my card.

I love this new Hippie Herione, all the added details and size of this die cut make a great impact on any card or scrapbook layout. I cut her out in white card stock colouring her in with Copic Pens and mounted a layer of dark brown cardstock behind her hair for extra shading. I finished her off with feathers, a flower and bling.

My sentiment was layered 3 times with a drop shadow effect, I mounted onto my Pierced Stackers with an accent of my Mandala Doily in White Cardstock.

Adding lots of flowers, leaves and bling to finish my design.

Thanks so much for stopping by today,
