The Dressmaker and Card Tutorial by Julie Lavalette

Hello everyone, it's JULIE here hosting the blog and today 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,

Julie x

Sweet Baby Boy 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation. Mine just started and I can't wait spend some precious time with my little family. By the end of the week we are leaving for a camping ground in our own country. Oh I just can't wait.... no scrapping for me for a week though, so that is going to be a big trial for me since I scrap almost every day. For today I am sharing another 8x8 layout made with some pretty Maja Design papers using some of the new Cheery Lynn Dies on which I am totally hooked. Wow, these dies are amazing L.O.V.E. them to bits.

Sweet Baby Boy:

This layout was really easy to make. I had the design in my head and then I punched out all the dies I wanted to use and distressed/colored them where needed. Then I picked out the picture I was going to use and voila...I always tend to make a picture of my work when building up my page and that is what I did here too.

I watered the paper and ruffled it before I treated the background with clear gesso, stamps, paste and sprays. At the end I added all the dies to complete my layout. Those B890 - Weathered Scrolls are so amazing and versatile. You can use them for any occasion you get three. This one was fitted best for a baby layout {at least that is what hubby told me}.

Yes, sometimes I do ask my husband what would fit best on my layout. Most of the time I show him two options and most of the time I pick a different one then he does lol...but he sure is a great help. The centers of the blue flowers are handmade and so easy. I made them using foam balls, hot glue and mini prills. I also added a cute flair which says: "Smile to the World" I am so hooked on those at the moment I can't stop myself from using them.....lol

"It's a Boy" by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out . I am sharing a card I created using some of the dies from the last release which was the "Bohemian Collection".

Now isn't this a fabulous sun and moon perfect for a baby card? And such detail. And all the pieces that lift out to give them added dimension. Got to love these dies.

I cut the Bohemian Sun from some speckled paper and inked it up a bit. As simple as that and it was ready to layer onto the card. Along the bottom I layered the Anastasia Border which gives it a nice lacy look.

This moon is one of the dies from the Hippie Heroine set. Again just a little ink and it is done and ready to layer. Notice the leaves on the moon and the sun that pop out for the added dimension

Here I have used the Pierced Banners to layer the It's a Boy onto. This die set also comes with the sentiment Girl to so you can change it to "It's a Girl".

Well that is it for this time. Be sure the check out the Bohemian Collection @ https://cheerylynndesigns.com/new-releases/ . There are some unique dies in this collection. Have a crafty day my friends.

Dies Used
Bohemian Collection - Hippie Heroine - 5 Die Set - B868
Bohemian Collection - Bohemian Sun Die - B869
Anastasia Border Die - B136
Pierced Banners 3 Piece Die Set - DL303

Live, Dream, Love Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello!

Thank you for joining me today, Corina, for today's post on the Cheery Lynn Blog. I have created a simple vintage card that could be used for a variety of occasions.

I used the A2 Frames Rectangular for the base and top layer. I cut two rectangles from Kraft cardstock. The third layer edge is paper distressed and the second layer was embossed using the Burlap Embossing Plate.

I layered two of the Coved Rectangle die cuts. I cut the largest out of black patterned paper and added detail using the Coved Rectangle Stitch die. I stamped my sentiment on the Coved Rectangle cut one size smaller and heat embossed in black.

For my border along the top, I cut strips of pattern paper, layered them and added the Anastasia Border to the top and bottom. Wrapped twine around it and tied in a bow.

Dies used:

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Burlap - E162

Coved Rectangle - XM-10

Coved Rectangle Stitch Nesting Set - SM Silver Stitch Nesting Set - MS-10

Anastasia Border - B136

Vintage Corset by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting. I am sharing a card with you this week 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 our 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 cream Anastasia 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 our Current Challenge which is Mothers Day. We all look forward to seeing your beautiful entries.

Hello!

So glad you can join me, Corina, for today's blog post! I have used three New Release dies on this weeks card - so lets jump in and take a closer look!

The three New Release dies that I used are the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily, Pierced Banners and Leafy Flourish.

Above is a close up of the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily die, cut from white cardstock. I backed it with dark blue cardstock and add rhinestones for sparkle! This die is so elegant and can be used in so many ways.

In this next picture, I used the Pierced Banners and the Leafy Flourish dies.

I layered the large and small Pierced Banners die to the card base and added the Tags 4 die with my sentiment to the top right in the picture above.

I then added the Leafy Flourish die on top which was cut from white cardstock. I wanted more layers so, I added two petal layers of the Sweet Christine to the larger flower and two petal layers from the Embellishment #2 to the smaller flower. Added a rhinestone to the flower centers and down the side of the large Pierced Banners.

New Release Dies:

Leafy Flourish (Set of 2) - B571

Pierced Banners (Set of 3) - DL303

Royal Scandinavian Super Doily - DL298

Sending my Love Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Welcome and thanks for joining me today! I have to admit that this card is out of my comfort zone ........I coloured! Better yet, I stayed inside the lines!

My inspiration for this card comes from last weeks challenge card entries! There were so many wonderful and creative entries. I encourage everyone to take part in Cheery Lynns weekly themed challenge.

To create this card, I cut the base of the card from white cardstock, smaller than the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame. The large Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame die cut is centered on top of the card base. The card base will not be visible threw the delicate scalloped detail on the edges. I then cut a piece of cardstock and pattern paper - layered each on to the base.

I then layered the coloured image which was cut with a circle die from the Circle Classic - Silver Stackers. I cut the Daphne Doily down so that the scalloped edges is only showing. These are then layered upon a cardstock circle and the Kiwi Spirit Doily in white.

I created a small open rose and a rose bud with greenery. Used the smallest die from the Horizon Fishtail Banners set to cut out my embossed sentiment.

I used the Steampunk Corners and altered them a bit! I cut the center/middle section out and replaced it with the Anastasia Border which matched the Kiwi Spirit Doily perfectly. I pop-dotted them to the top left and right corners.

To finish my card off, I added a few pearls and a little shimmer here and there!

This card must be a bit different than my 'normal' style because two of my close friends/fellow crafters saw it in my Studio on Tuesday and asked who gave it to me!!

Dies Used:

Circle Classic - Silver Stackers - L-4

Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames - DL253

Miniature Rose - B152

Flourish Leaf Strip - B178

Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies) - DL278

Steampunk Corner (Set of 2) Left & Right - B437

Vintage Holiday Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a Festive Holiday! Spending time with loved ones and making wonderful memories!

Today I am sharing with you a Vintage Holiday Card.

I created this card using pattern paper, a rich burgundy cardstock and three tones of green. I distressed the edge of the burgundy base and embossed the burgundy Sentiment Tag 2 with the Poinsettia embossing plate.

I second generation stamped a Script Stamp in brown ink to the top cream layer of the Sentiment Tag 2. *Second Generation stamping is when you ink your stamp and stamp off on scratch paper and then stamp. Leaving a lighter image in the true ink colour.

I adhered the Joy to the World sentiment which fits wonderfully!

I then wanted to create a wreath. I used the Joy to the World Wreath but wanted thicker boughs. I went to my die cut machine to cut another Joy to the World Wreath and saw the negative pieces that are removed from the Florence Filigree Doily die!

Perfect! No waste! I tucked them behind the Joy to the World Wreath and added the festive Holly Corner.

Dies used:

Joy to the World Wreath - B481

Sentiment Tag 2 (Set of 3) - B425

Holly Corner - B184

Florence Filigree Doily (Set of 2)

Poinsettia - E129

Anastasia Border - B136

Doll Tag by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hi Everyone.

It's Julie here today hosting the blog. I thought this week it would be nice to make a fun tag 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 good luck to everyone entering our weekly challenge.

See you all next Saturday,

Julie x

Romantic Criss Cross with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Happy first day of September to you. It's Rhonda here today to host the blog.

I have a criss cross style card to share with you today. This style of card is fun to create as you get a decorative envelope and another sweet little card to go inside.

Once I assembled my base piece, I used our Card Maker Rectangle Classic to cut my pieces for the front. I then used the Lilith Edger Doily die on my angle. You see the Anastasia Border peeking out on the sides and bottom.

The Fiona's Magic Mirror fit perfectly inside to create the base for my card. The other layers were used with Card Maker Rectangle classic and scalloped. The little tags were layered and tucked in to create a little tab to help pull the card out.

I've used a variety of flowers here for interest and texture along with the Rose Leaf Strip and Flourish Leaf Strip. I hope you liked my creation today, it was really fun to create this card.

If you would like to make one of these cards, I will share the link on my blog.
