Summer Fun Blog Hop - Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone, today we are having a blog hop at Cheery Lynn Designs using a variety of their fun Summer Dies which look great on cards, scrapbooks, home decor and journaling to name a few.

My collaged card today uses a variety of summer Dies listed below to make this fun card that could easily be adapted onto several craft projects. 

I love layering the Pine Trees and have also used them on Christmas cards with snow and glitter on them so this is a super Die to have in your collection.

My fish was cut out in White Cardstock and I dripped a few shades of Alcohol Inks onto it including silver to look like scales. Once dry I rubbed over with some black Archival Ink and placed it around my Summer Camp sign.

I added Glossy Accents onto the lens of my Binoculars layering on with some Silicone Glue. 

My boat was cut out in Kraft Card and I dry brushed some Gesso on so this would act as a resist as I added some ink.

Happy Easter

Hello and Happy Easter weekend to everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I have made a cute Easter card to share with you all. 

I used Maja Design papers on my card today which worked so well in creating my Easter Parade. My rabbits were so much fun to build up, I added cotton tails onto them and a drop of Black Liquid Pearls into the centre of their eyes.

My girl rabbit I also added a Diamanté onto her bow and a little lace onto the edge of her dress. I glued them in place with some Silicone Glue to add dimension mounting them onto my grass border, aren't they so cute.

My sun was layered twice and my banner was curled at the edges and mounted with Silicone Glue for dimension adding my Happy Easter sentiment.

Hello

Hi Everyone, thanks so much to all of you who left comments on my card for blog hop day at Cheery Lynn Designs, it was great reading them all. If you have not seen the new Whimsical Delights do check them out HERE, they are adorable and you still have time to join in the blog hop at Cheery Lynn for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree HERE.

My card today is a clean and simple design for 'me', using this fab Old Telephone set. I find this style of card much harder to do than adding lots of layers and details. As you can see I cut it out in Gold and Black Cardstock and layered it up.

My Chrysanthemum's I added Micro Beads into the centres, adding onto my card.

I finished off by adding my corners and touches of bling with Black Gems.

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to all entering the Cheery Lynn Designs fortnightly challenge and current blog hop.

Happy Crafting,

Cool Dude

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a card using the New Release words Cool Dude, let me take you through my techniques.

My centre die cuts were all layered twice for a shadow effect. My Palm tree was shaded with Copics and a little Distress Stickles added to leaves. My wording and arrow were all heat embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder to make them stand out within my design. 

I re-inserted my letters to the surf board after heat embossing them in the same way as above.

Cheery Lynn Designs Jan 2016 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs January New Release Blog Hop. We are all so excited to showcase the fabulous new dies that were just released. I am the first blog on the hop so at the end of my post just click on Lisa's name to get to your next stop on the hop.

Cheery Lynn make the most amazing Bird Dies with incredible detail and for my DT post today I am using the newly released Stork and Baby die. The Stork comes separate from the baby so you have different variations of using this die.

I started off by using my Hearts embossing sheet with white cardstock and rubbed over lightly with some Distress ink to highlight the hearts. My Doily was cut out and backed onto my Angel Wing. I then cut in half and placed at each end of my card.

My Stork and Baby were shaded with Copics, I added a little gem and some black Liquid Pearls to its eye and highlighted the swirl detail with a glitter pen. Mounting onto another heart embossed mat and layering onto my Its a Boy banner.

Thanks so much for your visit today and I would love if you leave me a comment to let me know you have stopped by on the BLOG HOP. Be sure to head over to your next stop which is LISA. Follow through to the end of the hop and leave a comment on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog too for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate.
