Brr It's Cold Outside by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone, it's Julie here hosting the blog today. The challenge this week is - All About Texture so I decided to join in using my Cheery Lynn Texture Plate.

I used the brick plate and ran some co-ordinations paper through my die cutting machine and then sanded it back to reveal the coloured core. Next I die cut this piece of paper and sprayed some glue onto it and added extra fine glitter for a frosty feel.

My tree I layered up and sprayed with some gold mica spray and dried with my heat gun. This helps to curl the paper and gives it a firmer feel. I added Flower-soft snow, glitter, red stickles, my little birds and snowflakes all to give a winter feel. The Tree comes with some wonderful decorations dies also and you can see it decorated here on one of my previous cards.

My window I wanted a frosty feel to, so I added some icicles....I adore this die. They we're die cut in white card with a little distress added to the points of them, I then sprayed glue and added glitter too them and placed onto my window frame with a little snow. I also made some curtains for behind my window using my Cuties strip die.

My wording I layered up twice for a shadow effect. I wish you could see all the sparkle on this card but the camera has unfortunately only picked up a bit of it.

Celebrate Fall Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Corina here with you on this cold September day! I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada and it is 100% Fall here. There was so much frost on the grass yesterday morning that my three year old started yelling "Momma, it snowed!"

To celebrate my favourite time of year - I decided to create a Fall themed card using both sets of the Small Leaves, I used the Fall Leaf Doily as a base for my Leaf arrangement. |I added burlap, twine and Cheery Lynn's Wheat Heads through out.

Above is a close up of my Leaf Arrangement. Using the same technique as I used last week - I first took my ink pad (Gathered Twig) and gently tapped on to the leaf dies. Making sure that I only applied ink on to the top of the ridges - image/pattern part. I then ran it through my Big Shot.

Voila, my leaves have so much more depth to them!

Dies Used:

Dimensional Small Leaves #1 - D133

Dimensional Small Leaves #2 - D134

Wheat Heads (Set of 2) - B388

Fall Leaf Doily w/Angel Wing (Set of 2) - DL249

Hinges (Set of 8) - B399

Sentiment Frame #1 - B189

I hope you will play along in this weeks Challenge - All about Texture. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store!

Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,

Corina Finley

Live, Laugh & Create.

A FRIENDSHIP CARD WITH ANITA KEJRIWAL

Anita Kejriwal 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello friends,

How is everyone doing? I wanted to try something that went along with our current challenge i.e adding texture to cardstock. Now Cheery Lynn has some amazing embossing plates with just wonderful designs and you get such lovely textures on your card stock. I have tried one here today and one of the main reasons I kept my card simple was to highlight the texture part. I did not make it too heavy with flowers but kept all embellishments minimum. I have added some glitter to the sentiments die cut and these days , I am going crazy with glitters. I have used the Stacker dies and layered them together. The flowers are simple and sweet.
