Dreaming of Summer Days by Julie Lavalette

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here sharing the blog with you today. We have had such a lovely week of weather in Scotland, so I thought it would be nice to share a Summery card with you all. My card measures approx 7"wide x 6"Height ( 18cm x 14cm ) when standing.

I started making this card by cutting out all my layers, inking the edges and gluing together with a stamped sentiment in the centre.

My Mega Doily was cut out twice to give a shadow effect. I layered them together cutting off a little section at the middle, to make it look neater on the outside. I also place a strip of card down the middle to strengthen my card. I trimmed a little bit off the bottom of my Doily to stop my card from rocking to one side.

Some photographs of my flowers being made.

I added a bow to the top of my card using the Pretty Pretty Bows die.

Notice I have added some tiny flowers with pearl centres.

Finally an angled shot of my finished card.

End of Summer Time by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's Julie here today. Can you believe we are at the end of August already. In Scotland the nights are starting to get darker earlier in the evening and my beloved little Robin has re-appeared back in my garden. All signs summer time is about to end and the clocks will go back soon and winter will be upon us. So this is where my inspiration for this weeks card came from.

My card is 8x8 in size and fits the Mega Doily Die perfectly. With this die cut I used patterned paper, dry brushed on some Gesso and inked the edges to give a shabby feel. My Clock, Victorian flourishes and corner dies were cut out in a lilac shade of paper. I stamped a crackle stamp onto the clock and corners and then inked the edges on all these die parts and once again dry brushed some Gesso on.

I added some glitter glue onto my clock face and little diamantés.

My flowers all started off as white cardstock. They were cut out and I added different shades of ink, a little stamping onto the Shasta Daisy for texture and a little flower soft into the centres. My leaves were cut from green card stock and the edges inked.

My butterflies were cut out in pink patterned paper and I used the angel wing to cut out the back of the butterflies in white cardstock, again inking the edges.

Save the Date

Unknown 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn Designs fans! I really love the Steampunk Corset die, but today decided to show you a project using this die in a more traditional way. I used it, along with the Mega French Pastry Doily, to create a wedding dress - as the focal point for this Save the Date card. You could use this same idea for princess dresses, proms - all kinds of ways! I added Xyron Magnet tape to the back so this could go on a refrigerator.

Use the largest die from the Coved Rectangle Stackers to cut the gold base. Cut the Heart Coved Rectangle Doily Stacker to cut the next layer. Add to the base and machine stitch around the edge for decorative purposes. Die cut the fanciful flourish and flowers and place on the base as shown. Die cut the letters and arrange the letters over the flourish. Die cut the smallest Heart Coved Rectangle, and add the date. Adhere to the top of the card with foam adhesives. Die cut the corset from the gold, and the matching lace embellishments from the cream. Assemble as shown and add pearls for the buttons. Die cut the mega doily and cut in half. Accordion pleat the doily and attach to the back of the corset using Double Sided Tape. Apply to the bottom right corner of the card with foam dots. Add a strip of Magnet tape to the back. Finish with a lace bow.

Oh Frosty!

Hi Everyone and Merry Christmas in July!

Ok, that is a little early but I had to say it. LOL!

I want to show you a fun little project today with the happiest Snowman on the planet! No matter what time of year he is happy in his little home.

Here is a closer look at the globe which I thought was the perfect home to showcase Cheery Lynn's sweet Frosty the Snowman die. I just love this die and can see so many cool projects you can create with adorable die. Who would want to see this little guy on their Christmas card?

and here is a closer look at the base where I added some beautiful snowflakes and the Christmas Sleigh Border on the bottom.

and finally, this folds flat for mailing, how cool is that!

Here's a list of the dies used for this project:

B140 - Christmas Sleigh Border
C140 - Frosty the Snowman
C146 - Snowflakes
DL157 - Mega Polynesian Sails Doily

I hope you can find some time to visit the challenge this week and put in your entry where the theme is Christmas in July. With your entry you will have a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs!

Have a Cheery Day!

A Moment to Treasure

Unknown 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Time goes by so quickly. It's hard to imagine that this little girl would grow up to be the beautiful woman that she is today. I am always in awe of my sister- of her strong spirit, her fierce love for her family, her compassionate heart, her incredible sense of humor. The list could go on and on, but I want her to know that every moment I have spent with her has been a moment that I treasure.

So enough of my sappiness. Here are details of the layout, showing these fun flowers. I absolutely love these flower strips. I know I've said that before, but I think every time I use them, I am even more thrilled with them.

If you don't have any yet, than you better make sure you play along with our weekly challenge - for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate. This weeks theme is Dry Embossing. We would love to see what you create with your favorite Cheery Lynn Designs!
