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.

Enjoy the beauty of the season

Hi everyone, today for my DT post at Cherish The Memory I am sharing with you all some more inspiration using the beautiful Die Cut pads from the Studio Light Range. These pads are super fun to create with and ideal for this time of year when you need several Christmas cards. Cherish The Memory have a fab range of these pads so do check them out HERE.

I chose a selection of the beautiful diecuts out of my Studio Light pad and inked them at the edges to give a vintage look to them and tattered my layers at the edges, mounting my centre image onto a little cheesecloth adding Cheery Lynn's Die Cut Snowflakes as a sparkling accent.

I arranged my Winter foliage onto my card adding some snow and glitter, mounting it onto Craft Consortium's Glitter card for an extra frosty look.

Let It Snow

Hi everyone today I'm sharing my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs. The clocks changed last weekend in Scotland and there is definitely a wintry feel in the air now which inspired me to make my winter scene using the pretty Maja Design papers and some of our vast range of amazing Festive and Winter dies.

I started my card by tattering at the edges two layers of paper and adding a scattering of Frantage for a snowy effect. My rosette styled Snowflower was cut out in glitter card adding Holly, Pine Branches and layering on my cute snowman.

My Let It Snow was drop shadowed and layered onto my Stackers with a little cheesecloth and Frantage for extra detail. I mounted my Dancing Snow Flurries Border around my sign using sections of this Die to form the oval shape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Merry Christmas Shaker Gift Bag

Hi everyone, today for ny DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Christmas inspiration using their wonderful Shaker Dies on a gift bag measuring 8" x 10" approx excluding the handles, which I have decorated. So let me take you through the techniques on my die cuts.

I used the Lattice Valance Border at the sides of my bag gluing onto a red strip of card and then mounting onto my cream cardstock, finishing with a border of Red Stickles.

I started my centrepiece by cutting my large Snowflake in half and accenting behind my stacker layer. My Shaker Bells were heat Embossed with an Antique Copper, rubbing a little black Archival ink at the edges to age them. I filled one with Shaker Confetti listed below, small beads and Micro beads, mounting the other to the side as an accent of bells ringing.

My Poinsettia's were cut out in cream cardstock inking at the edges and adding a mix of Micro beads to the centres. My Robin was shaded with Distress ink and black Liquid Pearls added for his eye.

I added a lot of foliage onto my design and finished off with some Liquid Snow and Glass Glitter for a frosty look that glistens so lovely when it catches the light.

My Merry Christmas was heat embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder for more sparkle. Finishing my bag off with a pretty bow and an accent of lace.
