Dreams by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog and today I am sharing inspiration using one of Cheery Lynn's beautiful Cardmaker Dies. These Dies are amazing at forming the background to your card and give a lovely elegant touch.

I started by cutting out my Cardmaker Die and heat Embossing some Stampendous Shabby Blue onto the edges and layering onto my patterned paper.

My centre sentiment was stamped and some Embossing powder added to the edges to help frame it. Next I mounted onto my frame with foam strips.

My bird was shaded with Distress Inks and a Fineliner pen, nesting it along side my foliage and Daisies.

My large Shasta Daisies were shaded with ink and shaped on my Embossing mat. I added a small foam ball to the centres along with a layer of glue and Flower soft into the centres.

Special Day by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello, it's JULIE here hosting the blog today and this week I have been having fun layering our Stacker Dies to make a frame, adding finishing touches with the gorgeous Daisy Chain Die.

I started by cutting out my large square die along with a smaller square to form my aperture frame. Next I cut out another square frame in yellow cardstock and cut along the pierced edge with my gullotine and inserted behind my frame along with my lace edge that had a little Distress Ink added at the edges. I added foam strips to my frame and placed on my card.

My Blue Tit bird was coloured in with Distress Inks and a Black Fine Liner Pen. For my Daisy Chain I positioned 4 strips around my card and layered my flowers twice, shaping them on my Embossing mat adding pearls to the centres and hiding the joins with a Daisy.

My sentiment and frame were layered up with foam strips and a little cheesecloth and pearls for extra detail.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and for the continued comments left, I love reading them.

Crafty Hugs,

My Feathered Friend by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

A warm Hello to you . It's Debbie with you from Debbie's Time Out. Glad to see you visiting the blog. Well I don't know about you but I am ready for spring. So I choose to create a spring card.

I started out with a piece of pattern paper with butterflies along one side and matted it with black cardstock.

To the left side I have a little feathered friend sitting on the window sill among the leaves, flourishes and flowers.

For more details I layered the Shuttered Window with Flower Box onto the base . I then added one of the little birds from the Feathered Friends set. I added some of the Ivy Corner Flourish , Add A Flourish and Tiny Flower Kit to add some greenery and flowers to make the little bird happy. Everything was inked up with distress inks. I hope I have inspired you to create some spring cards. Cheery Lynn Designs has a huge selection of flowers and greenery as well as several birds to make beautiful cards with.

Thank You so much for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I always like to hear what you have to say. Have a crafty day my friends.

Merry Christmas Shaker Gift Bag by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here and today I am sharing some Christmas inspiration using our 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.

Birds Everywhere by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out with you today. There are so many beautiful bird sounds outside and birds fluttering everywhere, so I though I would go for a bird themed card.

I used the French Lattice Small die as a stencil for my background. I cut it out and then placed it on my paper and inked different shades of oranges and yellows on top of it then removed it leaving a beautiful background. I have kept the colored die cut and will use it on a up coming project that I will post on August 2nd so watch for it.

I cut and inked the Fancy Bird House which has wonderful detail in it. The birds are from the Feathered Friends and I cut them from a pattern paper which I think makes them look whimsical and cute. The corners are the Lace Corner Deco J . The sunflower fills in the corner, and I used the leaves from the Sunflower Set to add to the sunflower.

I want to thank you for visiting today and for the comments you leave. I invite you now to come join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge . This will give you a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. Have a crafty day my friends.
