Furever Friends with Lisa Blastick

Hello again! Today I'm sharing a cat card that was inspired by vintage Old New York. I used lots of fun Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts, plus a few stamps that I fussy cut out. I have been wanting to use the "vintage books" for a while now. I thought the "Paris Sign" would be great for the sentiment as well.

I used some Prima patterned paper and some cream and kraft cardstock. I then distressed the edges of the papers to give it an old worn out look. The "windows" were die cut out in black and then I placed cream paper behind them. The books were die cut in cream and then I distressed them with vintage ink.

I kept the same colors for the mouse, yarn and fishbowl. The cats were die cut out twice and I just used part of the cats for the top window.

Cheery Lynn Designs Used:

B881 Old Leather Books

K110 Shuttered Window Shaker

B417 Kitty Kitty Meow Meow

B547 Paris Sign #1

Thanks for stopping but today!

Have a great day!

Hugs Lisa

Be Happy by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 3 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today. I am featuring another of the newly released sentiment dies called "Be Happy".

I was trying to think outside the box and thought why not use the sentiment in place of the sunflower. Not sure what you will think but I kind of like it. It's just something a little different.

The Whimsical "Be Happy" sentiment I cut three times out of cardstock and layered them so it was more like chipboard. I inked it up with a couple of colors of distress inks. The flower part of the die I offset and shaped. I then placed the sentiment on the stem and leaves of the Sunflower Set instead of a flower for something different. The background was embossed with the Black Eyed Susans .

I cut two of the Nested Flower Pots and cut the rim off one so I could do a double layer on the rim for added dimension. I place the cats from the Kitty Kitty Meow Meow set in front of the pot.

I invite you now to come join the Bi-Weekly challenge

Happy Mother's Day by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today. In the UK this weekend we celebrate Mother's Day, so I thought it would be nice to share some inspiration with you all.

I used this wonderful newly released Sunflower Die on my card. You will notice on this die cut you get the small seed box that is for the centre of your flower. Detail is always so important to Cheery Lynn and this is why I love their dies so much, as I can get such a realistic look onto my cards with their dies.

I started off my card by cutting out my Stitched Stacker in white cardstock, blending on Distress Inks and adding my stamped sentiment around the edges. Layering onto my brown cardstock , I tattered both layers at the edges for some added texture.

My terracotta pots were each die cut out twice and shaded with a brown Copic pen. I then pressed the die cuts into my Versamark Ink pad and added a mix of Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Powders, heat setting in place. I blended a little Black Archival Ink around the edges and onto the centre for an illusion of them curving. You will also notice I added on an extra layer just to the rim of the pot for an added 3D look. Finishing them off with a little grass at the base.

My Sunflower petals were shaded with a bright yellow Copic pen, with a little touch of a pale orange towards the centre. I shaped 3 flower head layers on my embossing mat and layered them onto my stem and leaves.

On my seed box part of the die I applied a generous amount of glue and poured on some Bronze Micro Beads. Once dry I dripped some Black Alcohol ink on to it to mimic my seeds. I placed in the centre of my Sunflower and then added some Earth coloured FlowerSoft around the outside of my seed box.

My Watering Can was altered using the same technique as HERE. On my gardening spade and fork I coloured the handles with a brown Copic pen and used a peeled paint texture stamp and a little white Acrylic paint so it gave me the effect of the paint peeling off the handles. I used Versamark ink and Silver Embossing Powder on the spade and fork bases. Once this started to melt I sprinkled on a little Vintage Photo Distress Powder and continued to melt it, giving me a rusty worn look. I finished off my spade with a small garden bird.

My card was finished off by adding a Coffee Stirrer into my Terracotta Pot with a stamped sentiment.

I do hope you like my card and feel inspired to try these effects on your die cuts. Our new Fortnightly Challenge just started on Thursday, this time the theme is Doilies, look forward to seeing your entry.

Winters Day by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE hosting the blog today. Hope you all have had a lovely Christmas Day and Santa left you some new craft goodies. In Scotland it is unusually very mild for this time of year and no signs of snow yet, so I decided to make a Wintry Scene onto my card.

I started with a greyish blue cardstock and scattered some chunky white Embossing Powder on it to give a snowy effect. Next, I tattered and shaded the edges with Distress ink.

My Tree and Icicles I applied the same technique as I did on my Wall Hanging last week which you can see HERE.

My Winter Sign I die cut out in black cardstock and fussy cut a layer in white cardstock distressing around the edges and gluing onto my sign, adding the word Winter and some more white embossing powder.
