The Dressmaker and Card Tutorial

Hello everyone, today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a new style of card to "me" which I thought was a perfect style for my idea of a shop window. I had noticed this style of card being sold on the Craft Channels and thought I could easily makes this, so let me share with you how I made it.

I started by cutting 2 sheets of cardstock to measure 10 x 6 inches and then scored both sheets at 1.5", 2", 8" and 8.5". Next I glued my 6" square of paper in place on both my background layer and top layer. Once dry I die cut my aperture out using my Square Stacker Die, you will also notice I have added the Anastasia Border around the centre of my aperture and to the sides of my card. I also added strips of patterned paper onto my sides sections and glued both end panels on each side together.

My stylish ladies and dressmaker stamp from Crafty Individuals have been fussy cut and glued onto my card with Silicone Glue.

I also added Die Cut flowers on to the Ladies clothes.

My sewing machine was Heat embossed with Black Frantage, adding some thread onto the spool and Gold Promarker pen onto the handle and base.

My corset was cut out in Maja papers, adding touches of lace and lots of pearls.

My dress I added lots of bling a tiny flower and placed onto my diecut hanger which was cut out in Kraft card adding a touch of Silver onto the hook.

My tailors dummy was also cut out in Kraft cardstock. I then layered my dress on with a touch of Silicone Glue behind to hold the curved shape, adding lace and more tiny flowers.

I finished with touches of cheesecloth, tiny buttons, scissors and bobbins of thread.

I hope you feel inspired to make a card like this which folds flat for posting. You could also use different shapes of your Stacker Dies to create different style aperture windows.

Happy Crafting,

Vintage Corset

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by today. For my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with you a card with quite a lot of techniques on it. So let me take you through all my stages.

Layering my die cut corners behind my layer of card gives a different look to the corner dies.

I used my stitched rectangle as a guideline, counting the stitches, to die cut out my patterned strip evenly, holding down with a little tape. I worked from the outside on both sides towards the centre. This way I new my card would have even spacing.

I measured in between my gaps and added strips of paper with foam tape which I tattered at the edges. My centre strip was ever so slightly wider than the rest so I balanced this by adding my Anastasia cream border.

I cut my Nautical Wheeler doily in half and offset onto my stamped image which had also been tattered at the edges and a scattering of Frantage added.

My corset was cut out 3 times in different patterned paper and reinserted in to the negative spaces. I curved the edges at the top and bottom to give my corset a 3D effect adding my angel wing lace finishings and a few sparkly gems.

Adding some splashes of paint and some shabby flowers to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to join in the Current Challenge at Cheery Lynn which is Mothers Day. We all look forward to seeing your beautiful entries.

Crafty Hugs,

Shabby Chic Butterflies

Hi Everyone, today is the start of a new challenge at That Craft Place called Shabby Chic and I am sharing with you my first DT Post with this wonderful team. I decided to make a wall hanging which measures 3 x 9 Inches.

I started by gluing on some Tissue wrap to my canvas crinkling it in areas and wrapping around the edges. I let this dry trimming off the excess tissue. Next I used my sanding block around the edges for a smooth finish.

Next adding some Crackle paste through my stencil and spreading some onto the sides and corners.

I also added some die cut strips and then started to add Lindys Stampgang Sprays - Tres Chic colour set, spraying layers and drying in between. I love how this sinks into my cracks on the paste.

Photo of more colours blended together.

I stamped my Tim Holtz Sentiment from the Perspectives Set onto a tissue with Black Archival Ink, tearing around the edges. This was then layered onto my canvas.

My die cut Butterflies were heat embossed using Lindys embossing powders also in the Tres Chic range, layering twice for extra dimension and a few pearls added which were shaded with Copics.

You will see on this close up my crackles and how I highlighted areas with Gilding Wax in a Rose Gold shade.

Another look at my finished Canvas.

Hope you have all enjoyed my post. Please stop by the blog to see what my other Teamies have been up to. On my sidebar you will see links to That Craft Place shop. It would also be lovely to have you join our friendly Natter and Chatter group.

Doll Tag

Hi Everyone. I thought this week it would be nice to make a fun tag for my DT Post at Cheery Lynn Designs this week for a change.

My tag this week is pretty self explanatory but let me point out some of the layers to you. I started off cutting a layer of paper to cover my tag and used the Border Carnivale at one side, with the Anastasia Border at the other side. I also layered my Lattice Valance Border on each side to add a contrast of colour for more interest. My Horizon Fishtail Banners were paper pieced at either side to extend it slightly.

My heart was cut out and I added back in the inside part that I had die cut out. I layered Daughter twice for a shadow effect.

My butterflies were cut out in patterned paper and angel wing added to the back.

I used my tiny flowers to decorate my doll stamps dress, headband and shoes to give a little more texture. Finishing off with some gems, ribbon and stickles.

Hope you have enjoyed my post today and see you all next Saturday,

Lace Wardrobe Style Card

Hi everyone,

For my DT card this week I thought I would showcase how versatile Cheery Lynn doilies can be in making beautiful accents and patterns on our craft projects.

The Anastasia border matches the Kiwi doily die perfectly so are great to use together, especially when making a real feature with them, like I am doing with this card.

On the opening of my card you will see the border strips, I love the lace effect. You will also see my doily cut into corners and halved. I matted and layered onto papers.

My flowers were made by cutting them out in same pale green card stock as the swirls and background but I stamped a little gesso onto them and rubbed the edges too with gesso before making them up, to give a shabby feel.

The inside of my card compliments the outside and I embellished with a few pearls to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today to see my card.

Doily Flower Card

Hello there my Blogging friends, where does time fly to, I can't believe we have almost been home a week from our break in Majorca, but the good news is I think we brought the sunshine home with us as it has been the most beautiful week here in Scotland.
Yesterday I went around our local Garden Centre with my Mum and at this time of year it's full of so much inspiration seeing all the gorgeous flowers in full bloom. I am still playing catch up trying to visit everyone's blog so please bear with me.
This week for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs is a card for a Birthday which would be suitable for a variety of occasions by simply changing the wording with Cheery Lynn word dies.

My flowers were cut out using white cardstock and inked to shade them. I layered various leaves and my tiny flourishes to form an arrangement on my card. My doily I also inked and added the Angel wing die offset to the back of the doily to make everything POP. You will see my Border strip was also inked in two shades and matches my Doily.

Hope you all have a beautiful sunny weekend wherever you may be. Thanks to everyone who left comments on my last card while I was on Holiday, much appreciated.
