Hello!  Those of you that know me know how much I love to add texture to my projects, and what better way than by embossing plates!
The little critters on the Turtles and Frogs Embossing Plate are sooo cute!! After embossing, I brushed on a little chalk to emphasize the textured pattern. The Celtic Chain Border is the perfect boyish accent!

I want to send HUGE THANK YOU to Imaginsce for giving me such a wonderful opportunity and fabulous package of goodies! They really were a treat to work with! I hope you enjoy my project! I’ve got lots to share, so let’s get started!! Since I have so many pages/photos, I will keep my words to a minimum! :-)

Remember, you can click on any photo to enlarge.

I used my goodies to create a vacation mini album. I started with a 6x6 chipboard album that has been waiting in my stash for just the right project! The black chipboard really makes everything pop! I even used my Imaginisce i-rock and hot rocks to enhance some of the embellishments throughout the album! Dutch Scallop Square Frame

Morning Folks, hope you are enjoying your weekend. Its Tamara with your Sunday inspiration and this week I have created a Wall Hanging using the 

Kaleidoscope Lace French Flair Reflection Dies (Largest Die)

French Flair Classic - LG Silver Stackers, French Flair Classic - XL Purple Stackers 

Square Scalloped LG Purple Stackers, Square Classic - LG Silver Stackers 

Build a Flower # 1, Olive BranchesMini Roses, Medium Roses

Francesca Border, SM Scalloped Circle and Classic Circle little Stackers, Tropical Flourish

I first cut the base using the Kaleidoscope Lace French Flair Die, I used the biggest die for this. I then used the French Flair Classic die from the XL Purple Stackers and again I used the biggest die. ( The Purple series are slightly bigger than the silver series this is to be able to create that laying effect)

The silver French Flair came next (paper with the ladybirds on). 

It really is hard to believe we are half way through this year already.

But is you are one of those that really likes to plan ahead, we are tempting you this week over at the Cheery Lynn Challenge Blog with a Christmas July theme.

My creation today goes along with that theme.

I know I have mentioned before how I  love to use my Mary Engelbreit calendars as pieces for focal points of my cards.

You can see here the Window C, peeking from the back of the card image..

On the inside of the card, I used the Mini Pearl French Flair die for a large background piece and decorated it with the Frangiapni with leaves and Bird on Branch 2.

Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs lovers,
Kianel here with you today to show you a tag i made using some of the wonderful new dies that were released this week: aren't they just all stunning?! Yes, they are! So here is the tag (click on the picture to enlarge it):

 First i built a heart frame using the Heart to heart lace doily: exquisite design! Love it!

 To build that flower, i used several dies: 1st i cut 3 inside dies from the Manon's wedding garland and slightly inked them. I then cut 6 times one of the dies from the Lace corner Deco I that i inked and put under. I finished by adding a premade rose in the center. I then added several Mini fanciful flourish and Flourish leaf strip that i inked with distress and covered with Creative Inspirations paint.

 I also used two of the dies from the Mini Exotic butterflies set with the matching angel wings.

I stamped my sentiment and cut it using the little stackers circle and then cut my paper with little stackers scalloped circle and decorated with the Flourish leaf strip. The border i used is called Ribbon eyelet border with piercing and i added a ribbon inside. I then used one of the dies from the mini exotic butterflies set with matching angel wings.

Just go and check what the DT members made here to illustrate the new release on monday and you will be blown away for sure!

Cheery Lynn Dies needed

French Flair Doily Stacker, Miniature, Medium and Large Roses, SM Circle Stackers 

Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs lovers!

Kianel here with you today. I would like to show a vintage card i made using only Cheery Lynn designs dies. Just a few things added to finish the card. This card i made to show you all the possibilities you have with just one die: i came up to at least 3 possibilities. You can cut it, emboss it and use it as a stencil. On this card, i cut the "italian flourish" die and used it as a stencil to work my backgrounds with distress inks. I then cut it in two and placed it on the card.

The base of the card is my beloved "lace square heart mega doily", biggest size.

I then used the XL square stackers to cut a piece of cream paper and inked it using the "italian flourish"as a stencil and distress inks "walnut stain" and "peeled paint".

 See how stunning the effect is?

Around that background, i used the "bunny and chick" border which can be used at any time of the year, i just hided the chicks and the bunnies.

The central piece of the card is made using the "french pastry doily" which really is like lace. I stamped my sentiment and used the Classic circle window stackers" to see where i was cutting. Sooo clever! I then added a "little scalloped circle stackers" and placed it under on some 3D pads.

I cut 2 small #2 exotic butterfly , stamped them with a text and inked them with distress and just added some pearls to highlight them.

The flower is made using the "Judy's blooms" die, the "medium rose" and the "miniature rose" dies. There too i used white paper that i inked with distress.

 I then added a piece of the "Tropical flourish" and the small dies of the "pine branches".

The 2 rosebuds are made using the "large rose" die and the leaf which comes along with the "miniature rose" die.

As a final touch,  i cut a "two of hearts" die and used the smallest one that i inked with distress under my lace bow.

Voilà, hope you will like this as much as i enjoyed doing it.
