Hello Beautiful

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by today to see my DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs.

My card uses one of the many pretty background designed Dies. I started by cutting this out in pearlised cream cardstock and mounted onto the same card to form the base of my card. Cheery Lynn's word dies come in two different sizes which are great for layouts and cards. I decided to use the smaller Die on my word Hello and the larger Die on my word Beautiful.

My Daises were cut out in the same cream cardstock adding Distress Ink onto them and Prills into the centres. I mounted them onto my Ivy Corner Flourish which I also arranged a few extra leaves using my Ivy Strip Die and finished with some Butterflies.

Birthday Wishes

Hi fellow crafters, thanks for stopping by today to see my latest DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs using one of their fabulous Cardmaker dies. This is a scheduled post as I am taking a break from Blogland for the next few weeks but will continue to see your crafty makes on Facebook and Instagram.

I started by matting and layering Craft Consortium's Wild Rose papers tattering them at the edges for a shabby feel. My Cardmaker layer I added foam dots behind to lift for extra dimension, I love the intricate design of the cardmaker overlay on my card.

Then onto my favourite part arranging my flowers which have been shaded with Distress inks and Flower Soft added to the centres. Finishing off with my butterfly, added bling and my drop shadowed sentiment.

I hope you feel inspired to join in the Current Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

Crafty Hugs,

Lollipop Card Tutorial

Hi fellow crafters, for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs this week I am sharing a tutorial on my Lollipop card and I hope it inspires you to make one with all the gorgeous doily dies we have here at Cheery Lynn Designs.

I decided to make my Lollipop card a 3D design and concertina my doily, so I started by cutting out 5 doilies and shading with some ink at the edges. You will notice in the photo I cut half way into my doilies and scored down the sections to fold.

I then glued all my doilies together to form my rosette shape, gluing on to co-ordinating Angel Wing.

Next I added several layers of foam tape to the centre so my topper would have stability when I glued in place.

My topper in place as seen here.

I cut out another Angel Wing Doily decorating it to complement the front and drop shadowed my Thank You sentiment to make it pop.

I held my straw in place on my decorated back panel with some extra strong tape.

I used a fast drying glue to adhere the front to the back, holding in place until it gripped.

My Flourish was embossed with a Shabby Pale Green shade. Adding on my flowers and leaves.

My paper tassels were made by recycling bead ends from an old necklace and using my Cutie Fringe die strip.

Finishing off with some small flowers and pearls.

Good luck to everyone who is entering the Cheery Lynn Designs current challenge Pretty in Purple.

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my previous scheduled post, we had a lovely few days away celebrating my Daughter's 21st Birthday.

Daffodil / Narcisi Flower Tutorial

Hi Everyone and a huge welcome to my new followers. I would just like to thank everybody so much for their lovely comments on my Spring Bouquet last week, I loved reading them all. I had a few people requesting a tutorial on how I made my Daffodils out of the Cheery Lynn Black- Eyed Susan Strip, so here it is for my Cheery Lynn Designs DT post.

These are the products I used to make my flowers. It is important to use Watercolour card for this technique and a Dye based ink. I found the Adirondack Ink (Sunshine Yellow) kept the vibrance on my flowers the best out of all the Dye inks I have.

Spritz the die cut flower with water to dampen the paper but do not soak as it will go too limp. I like to press the water into the paper, then fold the flower as shown.

Keeping a tight grip on your petals, press and rub into your ink pad. Next dip into the water, lift out and press to remove excess water. You will now see how the ink has travelled down your petals to colour them. If you wish a stronger colour repeat the process.

Carefully open your flower back up. Pinch the ends of the petals as shown and press against your thumb to form the shape of your Daffodil. Dry with your heat gun re-pinching the ends of your petals half way through to re-tighten. Continue until totally dry. Your paper should now feel firm.

Cut the die cut strip in half winding around a cocktail stick repeating the colouring and drying process. I like to work with Pergamano or Cosmic Shimmer glue as find it grips quickly and doesn't soak into the cardstock /paper making it limp.

Cut a petal out of your flower to give the look of a Daffodil and press in the centre with your embossing tool.

Next put a little glue at the base and around the sides of the centrepiece.

Position the petals around the centre and hold in place for a couple of minutes.

Leave until almost dry and then start to pull petals back to open your finished flower.

The bud is made in the same way without the centre piece. Just add a little glue and crush the petals gently together. Notice how I covered the base of the bud with a leaf and a little grass for a realistic look.

I die cut my Chicken Wire adding randomly Rusty Hinge distress stain.

Next I added Versamark ink along with Silver and Verdigris powders and heat embossed to give the look of rusty chicken wire.

I added Brushed Corduroy, Mustard Seed and Chipped Sapphire onto my tag. Spritz and flicked. I then layered on stencils and a little text stamping for more interest.

Accents of the Chicken wire were added onto my tag.

My Butterfly was shaded with Distress Inks and layered up 3 times for dimension and some bling added down the centre.

Here are the flowers once again on my finished tag with the beautiful Mayan Butterfly.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and I look forward to seeing all your beautiful Daffodils that you create for your own projects.

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.

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.

Ornate Wedding Card

Click to Enlarge

Hi Everyone, sorry I am behind catching up with your blogs this week, but haven't been too well. Thank goodness Chris does my photography and posting of my blog.

This week's Cheery Lynn Designs DT card I am showcasing the wonderfully romantic 'I do' die. This die has so much versatility for use on Wedding / Anniversary and Prom cards, but equally beautiful on a Scrapbook page or Gift Box.

Having worked with the new Alpine Flourish Doily on a few cards recently, I thought it would make a beautiful ornate window frame and compliment the happy couple. I love the result and hope you do too.

Let me talk you through how I made this. I layered 2 shades of grey card onto my 8x8 ready cut scalloped card, stamping a flourish stamp over the card for a little detail to the plain cardstock adding Stickles around the perimeter.

I made my flowers, mixing and matching the Tiny Flower Kit, adding stickles into the centres. My leaves and little flourishes on the Bride's bouquet and window box are pieced from the same die used in the corner of my card.

My window I layered a piece of grey card and lace behind it, adding on my window box and layering onto my Doily. Some of you will recognise the window part of the die as it normally is decorated with the Shutters at either side.

My Groom I edged with a little Iced Spruce Distress ink to highlight the edges. My Bride, I did the same using Tattered Rose, giving her a diamanté necklace, bouquet and veil. The veil was gathered with a little stitching at the top and her floral crown was made using a little strip of paper covered in flower soft. I mounted the couple onto my card using foam pads and a little silicone glue to hold her veil at the back. The veil, I secured on the front with small dots of glue which were then covered by Flower Soft to disguise.

Hope you all have a crafty weekend and I look forward to catching up with your blogs soon as I'm up to it.

Vintage Layered Card

Click to Enlarge

Hi Everyone, and a warm welcome to my new followers.
For my DT card over at Cheery Lynn Designs this week I thought I would share a vintage style.

The first 2 layers glued onto my card were torn at the edges and some distress added to the edges and I placed my tiny doily onto both sides. My next layer, I die cut out the Horizon Square Frame, distressed the edges and added some creases onto the paper and placed my die cut heart.

My image I glued lace around and added to my Magic Mirror die which I had distressed the edges on and added some gilding wax too.

Layers of different leaves and flourishes were added which I cut out in different coordinating papers. My roses were die cut from white cardstock. I shaded the paper with my Copics before building my roses.
