Missing You by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing with you a few tips on how to get dimension into your Dies cuts.

My card today uses Maja Design papers, I started by cutting out my Stacker layers and tattering at the edges with my scissors and tearing out small sections of the paper and inserted my lace style die cut for detail.

My butterflies were all cut out twice and I moulded the wings to give shape with my fingers. I pressed them into my Versamark Ink pad and heat embossed with a Pearl Embossing powder. Whilst still warm I held my wings so they stayed curled as they cooled and would then constantly remain in this shape. This is a great way so your wings don't flatten especially if posting a card.

My flowers I sprayed my die cuts with a little water and moulded each petal in a concertina effect. I next dried with my heat gun and then teased my petals back out to show the crinkles and shaped the layers on my Embossing mat then added a Pearl and Stamens into their centres.

I accented my Doily top and bottom of my card adding half a flower onto them and used the matching mini Doily behind my centre butterfly.

Vintage Sewing by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog. Thanks for stopping by to see my Sewing Theme inspired card. I hope it gives you some inspiration with your dies. Let me take you through the techniques on my card.

I started my cutting my 2 base stacker layers and highlighted the faux stitching with a black pen, layering on my doilies.

My sewing machine - I coloured the handle and base with a gold pen, highlighting the die detail with a fineliner pen and rubbing a little Black Archival ink around the edges to add age. For the centre body of the machine I used Stampendous Aged Black embossing powder, adding a little thread onto the bobbin and machine, gluing in place. This now reminds me of my Grandmother's sewing machine.

My Tailors Dummy - I placed a little masking tape behind a piece of white cardstock to cut my mannequin out, this helped hold all the negative pieces in place. I then heat embossed with a Platinum shade. I die cut a layer in patterned paper, layering on the bodice section only, which then gives highlight to my Platinum shade underneath. Finishing off with a little net and a ribbon I gathered with a few hand sewn stitches.

My images were tattered at the edges, then added some more Platinum embossing powder to help frame them and layering onto some Cheesecloth. My die cut scissors I coloured with a Grey Copic Pen, heat setting some Clear embossing powder and adding a touch of bling. My Tea Rose was shaped on my embossing mat and I added a little snap fastener to the centre.

I finished off my card with various sewing themed embellishments in my stash.

Be Mine by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Everyone, its JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration for Valentine's Day using a couple of the new dies from our latest release.

I started off by matting and layering my stacker layers onto my card and then I added my border to the top and bottom of my card. I paper pieced my flourish into place to make it larger for this design, hiding the join with a flower. My flowers were cut out of patterned cardstock and some Flowersoft added to the centres.

I just adore this new Film Set, you get 2 different sizes in the pack. I cut mine out in Black cardstock and then positioned the same die over my image, this way it would nest perfectly into my Photo Frame.

My Teddy was cut out in White cardstock, shading with Distress ink. I layered patterned and black cardstock behind the accents. The heart and his arms were layered on twice for extra dimension. I also placed a little bend into the cardstock at his ears and feet. Finishing off with a little bling.

Just Married by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here and firstly I would like to thank you all for your lovely visits and comments on my blog during the blog hop, you really made my day. Today I am sharing a Wedding card using the New Release words 'Just Married'. Let me take you through my techniques used on this card.

I used pearlised cardstock for my stacker layers and used a Silver Pen to shade all my Silver accents and scalloped layers. My top stacker layer I embossed with my Hearts Embossing Plate.

My Bride I glued on an overlay of lace and once dry replaced back into my Die to trim off the excess lace. I shaded the Happy Couple with Distress Inks and added some Bling and a Floral Bouquet.

My Chandelier was coloured with a Silver Pen and a little touch of Gold Gilding wax on the Tassles. For my candles I painted on a little Beeswax I had melted in my Meltpot, the flames were shaded with Copics and a touch of Glossy Accents added. Finishing it off with lots of bling.

Happy New Year 2016 by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

It's JULIE here and a Happy New Year to everyone, let's hope 2016 is a wonderful year ! Today I have made a celebration card that could easily be adapted into another type of card by simply changing the words.

I started off by cutting layers using plain and patterned Cardstock and tattering the edges of the faux stitched layers.

I layered up my Ornament Flourish and Word dies twice to give a shadow effect.

My Sentiment Tag was also tattered around the edges.

Finishing off with a few sparkly gems and a double layered Butterfly.

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog. Cheery Lynn do the most wonderful Butterfly dies in many different styles and sizes with Angel wings for perfect layering. So I thought it would be nice to show you all how they can hold centre stage on a card for a wow factor.

I started by matting and layering my stacker dies to give a detailed border with contrasting colours and adding some Copper Stickles around the edge of my centre mat.

My Doily was cut out in Cream Cardstock and shaded with Distress ink, matting onto my Pierced stackers along with my Lords and Commons Super Doily. My Butterfly was heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and layered onto my Angel Wing Die, finishing off with a few pearls and a Sentiment.

Summer Garden by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today. Isn't it lovely the summer flowers are starting to bloom and I thought this week I would bring part of my garden onto my card.

I started by layering my Flourish onto my card as a background accent and added my Pocket Watch with silicone glue.

My leaves were cut out in green card stock and shaded with distress ink, rolling my edges and layering on with Silicone to give a natural look to my leaves. My Flowers were coloured with Copics and a little Flower Soft added to the centres.

We have a Baby Blue Tit which frequents our garden regularly and I just had to include him on my card. I shaded him with Distress inks and used a Fineliner to hi light the black.

Adding Stickles, bling and a stamped sentiment which was fussy cut to finish.

Thanks for stopping by to see my post today. Good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Live, Laugh and Love card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today and I am sharing with you a card which was initially all cut out in White Card Stock. I then selected some feminine vintage shades in Distress Ink to define my layers.

This photo shows the start of my layers and you can see I have layered the Circle Classic die on top before layering on my next Doily.

Notice the lace design now pops forward in the centre.

A close up of my Sunflower.

Wedding/Celebration Stationery by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today. With the Wedding Season fast approaching I thought it would be nice to share some Invitations with you today, that could easily be adapted for any other celebration/occasion.

Here is a close up photograph of my Wedding Invitation. In the aligning up of the dies Sandy shows how to do this in a Tutorial HERE, so I won't go into details.

My words were stamped using Archival Ink and a little Stickles was added for sparkle, along with some gems. I attached my ribbon using extra strong tape tucking in the edges before matting onto my card.

My Evening Invitation compliments the Wedding one. I stamped directly onto my card with Archival Ink adding on my mats and layers, Stickles and a few gems. I kept this card simple, so several could be made should you have a lot of invitations to make.

My Place Settings were made be cutting out the scalloped rectangle, scoring down the middle and adding my die cut layer. Bride and Groom were handwritten on. You could also computer generate your names and cut out before layering on.

Mayan Butterfly Card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today from a wild, wintry Scotland. Today I am showcasing the stunning Mayan Butterfly. There are 4 newly released Large Butterflies available individually in this collection and all have Angel Wings, please check them out HERE.

In this photo you will see how I cut my layers to give an aperture on my card. I used Coordinations Cardstock and sanded it back to reveal a bit of the core, followed by using my Brick Embossing plate to add more texture.

My Mayan Butterfly was die cut 4 times using 300gsm Cardstock.

I then shaded a few colours of Distress Ink to the edges and added a spritz of Mica Spray, drying off with my heat gun.

You will see the difference from one layer on my card to the finished result of the 4 layers. I glued the centre and edges of my Butterfly only bevelling it up slightly so my wings wouldn't lie flat and would add depth and rigidity to them.

My Flourish Band I wanted to be at the edge of my card, so I simply cut it in half as I new I was mounting my flowers across it and this would hide the space in the middle. The Shasta Daisies were layered up with a little Distress ink and Flower Soft added into the centres.

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here hosting the blog today and Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my American friends.

This week I decided to keep my design flat on my Christmas card to demonstrate how you can still get lots of interest and the illusion of depth onto a card. At the same time being able to put in an envelope for ease of posting.

My 2 base layers were cut out using my stacker dies. I went around the edge of my patterned paper with my distress tool and added a little ink and stickles around the perimeter. My Santa image I also used my distress tool at the edges.

My image I used a little Frantage on and added onto my die cut frame along with some more Stickles.

My Reindeer were cut out in the same brown card as my frame and a maroon coloured card. I glued them together offsetting them slightly to give a shadow effect.

Finally scattering some die cut snowflakes all over my card, look how crisply they cut. You will notice I have put some partly under the frame and others on the top, this also gives an illusion of depth.

Good Luck to Everyone entering our Weekly Challenge and I will see you all next Saturday.
