Merry Christmas Tag with Cheryl Walker

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Thursday to you all!
Today I have a super fun and easy Christmas tag to share, and if you like fast and easy, then this one would be perfect!

All layers are cut out in white, I used 4 dies, and will list them below. I then just glued the Mandala Doily 1 to the Royal Scandinavia Doily, and then popped the Dusty Miller Square to them using foam tabs. I did the same with the Mirror tag, after stamping my sentiment of course. The sentiment was stamped in black ink. The holly and berries were colored using Copic markers. I did use a white on white design paper for those, that is why you see a print. Love the look it gives though.

The tag takes less than 10 minutes to make, and if you prep enough for more tags, it will go by even faster. I think these are perfect for Christmas gifts. Last year I did at least 1 for each person.

Cheery Lynn Supplies Used:
DL280 Royal Scandinavia Doily (used for the base of my tag)
DL326 Mandala Doily 1
B884 Dusty Miller Square
CABD74 Mirror
B846 Christmas Bell 7 (for holly and berries)
S165 Best Glue Ever
Big Sister Die cutting machine

Other supplies:
Really Reasonable Ribbon Satin and foam squares
Stamp by JustRite Designs

Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Happy Mother's Day by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you from Debbie's Time Out. I want to wish all you Mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow. So here is a Mother's Day card that I am sharing with you.

I made a fancy fold card from black cardstock for my base. The back piece I covered with polka dot paper and the front layer of the base I covered with a pattern paper with dress forms on it.

I used the Mirror Die as a background for my sentiment to be printed on. I then added the corner from the Quadrafoil Tag under the sentiment. The Dragonfly was layered onto the top corner.

The flower arrangement was created using the Floral Bouquet Kit , Black Eyed Susan Strip ,Judy's Blooms and the Embellishment #1 .

Well that is it for this time. Thank You for visiting the blog and for the comments you leave. They are so appreciated. Have a crafty day my friends.

Christmas Wishes Candy Pocket Tags with Cheryl Walker

Cheryl Walker 1:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to you all! Today I wanted to share 5 of 14 tags I created using the BEAUTIFUL Cheery Lynn Designs Dies. I had a blast making these, and created them to bring to our Doll Club Christmas Party, and everyone LOVED them!!! :)

Of course I had to use the Beautiful Christmas Poinsettia Strip die from Cheery Lynn to create my gorgeous flowers. They were cut using a striped metallic and regular design paper print. I also did my favorite Glass Flower technique on these, as it makes them sturdy and beautiful :) I love using the wreath strip die, as it cuts the perfect amount for each pocket tag, and that was 7.

Cheery Lynn Designs Oval Classic SM silver Stacker Layers 8

To create my tags I started with Cheery Lynn's Pierced Stacker 3 XL21 using the largest die in this set for the main tag and design paper. If you are creating 5 tags you would need to cut 8 greens to give you 5 entire pieces, and then cut the others in half to create the pocket, leaving 1 half leftover. Design paper pieces were cut using the same die. Be sure to add your design paper before adding your pocket.

Next I cut my tag, oval , poinsettias , holly, and wreath branches and had them all prepped and ready to decorated my pocket. You can also use ric rac, or trip or whatever to border the pocket. Then add ribbon to embellish with a bow. I did add some half backed pearls to my flowers too. For these 5 Pocket tags I did add some vintage ric rac to the pocket. On the Oval Classic, it was cut in white, stamped sentiment in black, and then added some red dots around the edges.

I really had a lot of fun decorating these up, and adding some fun Christmas candy to each one. The pockets were easy and came together quickly. Love using Cheery Lynn dies as they make for some beautiful crafts!!!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, as I truly enjoyed sharing! Thank you so much for looking!!!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Vintage Vellum using IOE Plates by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing with you some more inspiration using our wonderful new Oval IOE Plates and Frame It Embossing folder. This time I decided to use Vellum Paper to give a faux Parchment look to my design.

For techniques on using these plates please check out our YouTube link HERE.

On the embossed areas of my vellum I highlighted some of these areas with colour using a Copic Pen on the reverse side of my Vellum. I coloured over the area and rubbed to dry the ink immediately with a piece of Kitchen Roll to stop my Vellum curling. This also helps to disguise where my small dots of glue were placed onto the Vellum to mount on my card.

I die cut my frame in cardstock and mounted onto the centre of my embossed area. I then cut a layer in Vellum and curled the swirls on my embossing mat. I added a little glue behind each pearl and behind my cameo on both sides to secure my frame in place and hide the glue on the Vellum.

With Love by Lisa Blastick

Good morning everyone! Today I'm sharing a card with you that was inspired by a wedding that I recently attended in Mexico. It was a really beautiful wedding. So I thought I would make a card for a wedding for Cheery Lynn Designs this week.

I used the second largest of the "french flair scalloped stackers" for my base of the card. Then I layered the center with 2 more smaller scalloped stackers. Next I layered two "mirrors" on top of each other with the sentiment stamped in black ink. On the bottom corner, I layered a "sweet william" flower using a double sided cardstock. Lastly, I added a bit of bling.

Christmas Morning by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Happy Christmas to everyone, it's JULIE here today. This week I have made a mixed media wall hanging with my inspiration coming from thinking Santa has delivered all his presents and is now relaxing whilst his washing dries. You may want to grab a cuppa while I take you through all the techniques and photos.

Starting off with a piece of corrugated card I ripped back the paper to reveal the corrugation in parts. Next I applied a layer of Gesso with a baby wipe and added some Crackle Paint to the edges. Once dry I rubbed over some Distress ink to highlight the cracks. I then scattered embossing powders over my Cardboard in lots of frosty colours and sparkles to give the effect of a snowy scene and depth within a Forest from the corrugation. I just wish cameras would pick up all the sparkle !

Now to the fun part with my dies. I cut out my birch tree 4 times, inking down one side of the birch tree with Distress ink. On the other side I shaded with a Versamarker Pen and applied some White Embossing Powder. You will now see the difference between the inked tree to the one with added snow.

Building them up I wanted my trees to look slightly different on each side so I now layered extra branches behind the main tree, notice the difference between the two trees.

The Icicles had Glitter Embossing Powder added in a frosty shade with a little ink added to the drips, finally I added some Glossy Accents. This gives the look of the ice melting.

My little wildlife animals were all shaded with Distress Ink and Black Liquid Pearls added into the centre of their eyes. I also highlighted the tiny details that Cheery Lynn are fab at putting into their dies, with a Fine Liner Pen.

Santa's Laundry - First I coloured the areas I wanted red with a Copic Pen. Next I rubbed over my die cut with my Anti Static bag and then I used my Versamarker Pen over the red and applied a Red Sparkle Embossing Powder to make Santa's clothes glisten. I repeated the process on the white areas of the jacket using a White Puff Embossing powder. His underwear was shaded with Distress Inks and once again I highlighted all the details with a Black Fine Liner Pen. The washing line was coloured with Copics.

My Christmas Lights once again were heat embossed with different colours. Once built up I added a fine black line between the baubles and wiring, this gives an illusion of depth.

Finishing off with my Happy Christmas Sign and Holly which has all been heat embossed with different shades.

A final tip before I finish ... Should you not have a large range of colours of Embossing Powders in your stash, colour your die cut with Copics and add Clear Detail Powder or Sparkly Clear Powder. This is how I got the effect on my grass using Copics.

Thanks everyone for your continued comments and Good Luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge. I hope you feel inspired to try some Mixed Media with your dies.

Crafty Hugs,

Celebrate your Day by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi there, this is Eva here today sharing a pretty card using one of the really gorgeous stacker frame dies called Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stackers Frame. Pair that up with some pretty papers and your card is practically made by itself! Well not really, but you know what I mean.

To create this card I started out cutting a 5.5" card base using a light blue card stock. Then I cut my largest Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stackers Frame out of craft card stock. Then I cut a smaller one out of patterned paper, which I backed up using gold glitter card stock to show through the intricate design.

Next I die cut a Mirror die out of cream card stock and stamped my sentiment on it using light blue ink. I stamped and colored my flowers and cut them out to fit around the frame and finally die cut a pretty butterfly from the Small Exotic Butterflies #1 with Angel Wings using gold glitter card stock and added it to my card.
