Hi, it's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out. Glad to see you here. Today I am sharing a card with flowers. To me flowers always make for a beautiful card to give to that someone special.
I started the base of this card by embossing it with the Hearts and Rose Leaves Embossing Plate .
It is always nice to have that extra texture on the base of your cards.
I then layered the Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily  to one side of the card and the Southern Charm Valance Die  at the top and bottom of the card.
The Mini Flourish One  was used as a background for the flowers and leaves.  The flowers are the Chrysanthemum Strip inked up with distress inks for color. The leaves were cut from the Build a Flower #2  and tucked in behind the flowers. A pearl was placed in the center of each flower to finish them off .
I cut the sentiment "Just For You" from the Just For You Oval Die  . I then traced the outer edge of the die onto the purple paper and fussy cut it out to place behind the sentiment. The XOXOXO were placed along the bottom of the sentiment.

I would like to thank you for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I hope I have inspired you to play with some of Cheery Lynn Designs flowers. They have a huge variety of flower dies to choose from.

Hey there Paper Peeps! Happy Sunday to you. It's my day to share some Christmas inspiration and I've created a sweet little greeting card with carolers, snowflakes and blingy embellishments. I've started with an A2 sized card base and layered on patterned papers.  The Oval Stitched die cut makes the perfect frame for the vintage image.
I've got several dies cut in crisp white for a wintry scene. The Neighborhood Border  creates a base with the Icicles nestled underneath.  To complete the arrangement there's Snowflowers topped off with blingy accents and glitter for a frosty finish.
The Southern Charm Valance had a fabulous edge border that was easy to fussy cut and helps to balance the arrangement on the bottom.  A simple bow with pearly center is a nice finishing touch and hides where the die cut was joined in the center.

Hi Everyone, it's Julie here hosting the blog today. In Scotland we have had our first covering of snow on the hills and it has turned very cold, but I don't think we will get a White Christmas. 
My card this week has been arranged by building up layers of die cuts in complimentary colours of card.


You will notice I have added Stickles to help define my layers and to add the all important sparkle to a festive card.


My Poinsettia's were made by colouring White card with Distress Spray Stains and adding a little Gilding wax to the edges and a few stamens in the centres. I arranged my Holly Leaves and Pine Branches to form a Festive arrangement. 



I stamped my centre image adding more Stickles and Silicone glue to raise it up slightly. Finishing off my card with a few Red Gems.

Hello Everyone,

It’s Julie here today, thanks for visiting.
I have made a Friendship card to share with you all today.



All my dies were cut out using white cardstock and shaded with Distress inks apart from my little butterflies of which I used Pearlised cardstock. 



On the front edge of my card I cut this to be about half an inch shorter than the back edge. I then positioned 2 layers of the Dancing Doily die on the front and 2 on the inside of the card.

I absolutely adore the design and elegance of the new Southern Charm Valance die. I placed a strip along the top and bottom of my card and then cut out another 2 strips and paper pieced the middle section into the sides of my card.
