Hi and Good Morning everyone.  Alison here today, and I hope you all had a great start to the New Year!

Todays card uses some stunningly detailed Cheery Lynn Designs dies, and everything was cut from 300gsm glitter card, so how amazing is the crispness and clarity of these cuts!

I started off with a 6 x 6 blank card base and layered pink pearlescent glitter card and K&Co stripey paper.  I then cut the gorgeous Shoji Mesh Border, and edged it with the cutie heart fringe die, cut in two separate colours.  I then cut two Lattice Heart and Vines and backed them onto shimmering satin paper (they look cushioned in real life), and so very intricate.  I added the hummingbird and feathered his wing, and also cut 3 smaller birds for decoration.  The sentiment was backed onto the smallest Oval S tacker Frame and finally I added some pearls for a finishing touch.

All dies used on this card are:

B371 - Shoji Mesh Border
B368 - Lattice Heart & Vines
DL252 - Horizon Oval Doily Stacker
B391 - Small Heart Cutie Fringe
B193 - Hummingbird
B266 - Tiny Things with Wings


Thanks so much for visiting our blog today, and I hope you all have a smashing week!,

Hi and good morning everyone :)  Alison here today, sharing a quick and easy card inspired by some beautiful and elegant Cheery Lynn Designs dies.

I have been missing from blog action recently, as I have had a couple of broken fingers, and so this card was made almost with one hand! lol :) Its a good  example of how these great dies can do all the work, and you can still create a stunning and effective card even if you dont have a lot of time.

I layered Forever Friends papers onto bazzil card, and also used a pre-made Forever Friends decoupage for the centre.  I cut  the ever-so pretty Daphne Doily die, and stuck 3 delicate Snowflowers and the Holly Flourish die with pearls for a finishing touch.

As you can see, pretty simple, but very cute!

All dies used on this card are:

DL264 - Daphne Doily Die
DL226 - Snowflowers Set 2
B184 - Holly Corner

Hi and Good Morning everyone, Alison here today sharing this weeks card inspired by Cheery Lynn Designs stunning Steampunk Dies!

This card is a glorious 8 x 8 inches, so a brilliant size to showcase the intricacy an detail of these dies, instead of much of them being concealed by a main image as a focal point.

Now, I had such fun making this card!  It was great to dig out some much neglected silver mirri board to create a dazzling metallic effect to this design.   I layered HOTP paper and bazzil card, applying DI inks to the edges.


All dies used on this card are:

B361 - Gear Mesh Border
B378 - Hearts n Gears
B340 - Gears
B350 - Lock and keys
DL264 - Daphne Doily
B227 - Love sentiment
L-1 - Square Classic
XL-2 - Square Scalloped Stackers

Thanks so much for visiting our blog today, and I hope you find time to join in this weeks challenge where our theme is vintage.

Have a smashing week!
