Friendship Card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

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.

Dies used :

You still have time to enter this week's challenge Dry Embossing and win a nice prize !

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll see you all next Saturday.

Hello Card from Corina!

Hello Everyone!

Corina here with the Friday blog post. Thank you for joining me!

I very much enjoyed creating this card because I used a few new release dies for the first time and also tried cutting the Rustic Birdhouse die out of burlap. Which was not difficult at all. The die went through my Big Shot with no problem, smooth and easy!

I love creating nature scenes for my cards using my Cheery Lynn Dies. I hope you will try a new medium (burlap, vellum, Lutradur® Mixed Media Sheets ) to die cut on your next project! Let me know what you tried!
