Happy Halloween by Eva Dobilas

Hello there, it's Eva today here with a Halloween card. We have some super cute dies, so my card is pretty cute I might say.

To create my card base I die cut two Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames out of black card stock. Next I die cut a square using Square Stitch and Cut Tool out of patterned paper. Than I die cut another patterned paper using Horizon Fishtail Banners. Next I die cut a Horrible Cat out of black card stock and added yellow card stock on the face for the eyes and nose and added it on top of the banner.

Next I die cut the three Jack-O-Lanterns out of orange patterned paper and placed yellow card stock underneath to contrast the eyes, nose and mouth. I placed them on the card front. Than I die cut a Witch Hat using purple card stock and added black underneath to show the design and added it to the biggest pumpkin. Finally I die cut the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath die and added it to the banner.

Here is the list of Cheery Lynn Designs dies I used to create this card with:

DL253 - Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames

LSC1 - Square Stitch and Cut Tool

DL278 - Horizon Fishtail Banners

B598 - Horrible Cat

B594 - Jack-O-Lanterns

B638 - Witch Hat

B469 - Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath

Thanks for stopping by today and Good Luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Hugs,

Eva

Fall Wagon

Unknown 3:30 AM 10 Comments

It's Friday and I am thrilled to be back with another project to share with you this week!

Our challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs is All About Texture. So with that in mind, I wanted to show you a really neat technique that you might way to try. For my project, I started by inking up my Wicker Embossing Plate with distressed black ink and embossing my card stock. I then used my Big Weaver die to cut the card stock into strips to resemble wood. Once I had my strips cut, I then distressed the entire sheet with several different colors of distressed inks to give the appearance of wood that looked somewhat "aged."

One of the great things about the Wickers and Weavers dies is that they are made so that there is no cut line at one end so that you can extend the die cut to the width of your paper. This is also the case for both the new Expandable Tiny Borders and the new Expandable Quilling Strip Die.

For the supports on the wagon and the seat bench, I simply used my Big Wicker die but did not emboss this with the Wicker embossing plate, just a bit of distressing to give the feeling of old "faded" leather.

Here is the finished Fall Wagon

Here is a closeup to see the texture I created

This was such a fun project to do and it gave me the opportunity to use my Cheery Lynn dies in some different ways. I hope this gives you some ideas when looking at your dies. I think you will find there are some wonderful unexpected surprises contained within each and every one of them!

For this project I used the following:
B188 - Build a Flowers Embellishment #2
B240 - Fall Pumpkins
D133 - Small Leaves #1
D134 - Small Leaves #2
D135 - Large Leaves #1
D136 - Large Leaves #2
G18 - Wicker Embossing Plate
W102 - Big Wicker 1/4" Strips
W104 - Big Weaver 1/2" Strips

Smashing Pumpkins

Unknown 3:30 AM 13 Comments

Good Morning fellow crafters and bloggers, Alison here today :) sharing my card for this weeks challenge theme of 'Corner Adorners'.

Now there been some stunning creations made this week with the new release dies from Cheery Lynn and I thought I would showcase a few more of the new dies today on my cute seasonal birthday card.

I started out with a 6 x 6 Kraft card base and layered cream and green bazzil cardstock, MME papers and inked the edges with brushed corduroy DI's.

I then had the most fun creating this card ever! :)

I joined each Corner with one of the brilliant Expandable Tiny Border dies - this is now officially my new favourite border die! I love it! :) I added acorns in the corners, extra leaves and I used the Quilling Strip die to make the rolled swirls in the top corners too. The wonderful Fall Pumpkins dies cut beautifully and have great texture, but most of all I love the twiddly bits that come with them - they are so much fun!

I really love the new sentiment sets in this release too and I know I will use them over and over. I added Happy Birthday to my card using the smaller dies in each set. Finally, the mini 3d pumpkins were nicked out of my pot pourri bowl so the card even smells seasonal too!

All dies used on this card are:

Lace Corner Deco A

Dimensional Small Leaves # 2 - Acorns

Quilling Strip

Expandable Tiny Borders

I hope you find time to play along with our challenge this week and dont forget there is also daily inspiration from the other very talented members of our DT over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration Blog.

Have a smashing week, and thanks so much for visiting today.

I used the following dies:

Dimensional Large Leaves #2

Lacey Pumpkin Corner Flourish

I decided to make a fall leaf acrylic frame using a couple wonderful dies I haven't had a chance to share yet.

I pulled a bunch of my fall colored patterned papers to die cut some leaves.

I used some craft card stock and chose to cut a corner design and only pull a part of the design to show with patterned paper behind the design. It took me a couple times to get it right where I liked it.
