The Dressmaker and Card Tutorial by Julie Lavalette

Hello everyone, it's JULIE here hosting the blog and today I am sharing a new style of card to "me" which I thought was a perfect style for my idea of a shop window. I had noticed this style of card being sold on the Craft Channels and thought I could easily makes this, so let me share with you how I made it.

I started by cutting 2 sheets of cardstock to measure 10 x 6 inches and then scored both sheets at 1.5", 2", 8" and 8.5". Next I glued my 6" square of paper in place on both my background layer and top layer. Once dry I die cut my aperture out using my Square Stacker Die, you will also notice I have added the Anastasia Border around the centre of my aperture and to the sides of my card. I also added strips of patterned paper onto my sides sections and glued both end panels on each side together.

My stylish ladies and dressmaker stamp from Crafty Individuals have been fussy cut and glued onto my card with Silicone Glue.

I also added Die Cut flowers on to the Ladies clothes.

My sewing machine was Heat embossed with Black Frantage, adding some thread onto the spool and Gold Promarker pen onto the handle and base.

My corset was cut out in Maja papers, adding touches of lace and lots of pearls.

My dress I added lots of bling a tiny flower and placed onto my diecut hanger which was cut out in Kraft card adding a touch of Silver onto the hook.

My tailors dummy was also cut out in Kraft cardstock. I then layered my dress on with a touch of Silicone Glue behind to hold the curved shape, adding lace and more tiny flowers.

I finished with touches of cheesecloth, tiny buttons, scissors and bobbins of thread.

I hope you feel inspired to make a card like this which folds flat for posting. You could also use different shapes of your Stacker Dies to create different style aperture windows.

Happy Crafting,

Julie x

Sweet Baby Boy 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation. Mine just started and I can't wait spend some precious time with my little family. By the end of the week we are leaving for a camping ground in our own country. Oh I just can't wait.... no scrapping for me for a week though, so that is going to be a big trial for me since I scrap almost every day. For today I am sharing another 8x8 layout made with some pretty Maja Design papers using some of the new Cheery Lynn Dies on which I am totally hooked. Wow, these dies are amazing L.O.V.E. them to bits.

Sweet Baby Boy:

This layout was really easy to make. I had the design in my head and then I punched out all the dies I wanted to use and distressed/colored them where needed. Then I picked out the picture I was going to use and voila...I always tend to make a picture of my work when building up my page and that is what I did here too.

I watered the paper and ruffled it before I treated the background with clear gesso, stamps, paste and sprays. At the end I added all the dies to complete my layout. Those B890 - Weathered Scrolls are so amazing and versatile. You can use them for any occasion you get three. This one was fitted best for a baby layout {at least that is what hubby told me}.

Yes, sometimes I do ask my husband what would fit best on my layout. Most of the time I show him two options and most of the time I pick a different one then he does lol...but he sure is a great help. The centers of the blue flowers are handmade and so easy. I made them using foam balls, hot glue and mini prills. I also added a cute flair which says: "Smile to the World" I am so hooked on those at the moment I can't stop myself from using them.....lol

"It's a Boy" by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out . I am sharing a card I created using some of the dies from the last release which was the "Bohemian Collection".

Now isn't this a fabulous sun and moon perfect for a baby card? And such detail. And all the pieces that lift out to give them added dimension. Got to love these dies.

I cut the Bohemian Sun from some speckled paper and inked it up a bit. As simple as that and it was ready to layer onto the card. Along the bottom I layered the Anastasia Border which gives it a nice lacy look.

This moon is one of the dies from the Hippie Heroine set. Again just a little ink and it is done and ready to layer. Notice the leaves on the moon and the sun that pop out for the added dimension

Here I have used the Pierced Banners to layer the It's a Boy onto. This die set also comes with the sentiment Girl to so you can change it to "It's a Girl".

Well that is it for this time. Be sure the check out the Bohemian Collection @ https://cheerylynndesigns.com/new-releases/ . There are some unique dies in this collection. Have a crafty day my friends.

Dies Used
Bohemian Collection - Hippie Heroine - 5 Die Set - B868

Live, Dream, Love Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello!

Thank you for joining me today, Corina, for today's post on the Cheery Lynn Blog. I have created a simple vintage card that could be used for a variety of occasions.

I used the A2 Frames Rectangular for the base and top layer. I cut two rectangles from Kraft cardstock. The third layer edge is paper distressed and the second layer was embossed using the Burlap Embossing Plate.

I layered two of the Coved Rectangle die cuts. I cut the largest out of black patterned paper and added detail using the Coved Rectangle Stitch die. I stamped my sentiment on the Coved Rectangle cut one size smaller and heat embossed in black.

For my border along the top, I cut strips of pattern paper, layered them and added the Anastasia Border to the top and bottom. Wrapped twine around it and tied in a bow.

Dies used:

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Burlap - E162

Coved Rectangle - XM-10

Coved Rectangle Stitch Nesting Set - SM Silver Stitch Nesting Set - MS-10

Anastasia Border - B136

I hope you will play along in our Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store.

Thank you for joining me today!

Take care,

Corina

Vintage Corset by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting. I am sharing a card with you this week with quite a lot of techniques on it. So let me take you through all my stages.

Layering my die cut corners behind my layer of card gives a different look to our corner dies.

I used my stitched rectangle as a guideline, counting the stitches, to die cut out my patterned strip evenly, holding down with a little tape. I worked from the outside on both sides towards the centre. This way I new my card would have even spacing.

I measured in between my gaps and added strips of paper with foam tape which I tattered at the edges. My centre strip was ever so slightly wider than the rest so I balanced this by adding my cream Anastasia border.

I cut my Nautical Wheeler doily in half and offset onto my stamped image which had also been tattered at the edges and a scattering of Frantage added.

My corset was cut out 3 times in different patterned paper and reinserted in to the negative spaces. I curved the edges at the top and bottom to give my corset a 3D effect adding my angel wing lace finishings and a few sparkly gems.

Adding some splashes of paint and some shabby flowers to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to join in our Current Challenge which is Mothers Day. We all look forward to seeing your beautiful entries.
