A warm hello to everyone. This is Debbie here with you today from "Debbie's Time Out". I hope everyone is enjoying the dies from the new release. Today I am featuring two of the new sets on my card. The Fishing Set (set of 9) - B648 and the Fishing Boat Set (set of 4) - B649.
I started with the base in blue and embossed it with an inked Wood Grain embossing plate. From the Fishing Set  I used the fishing rod, fish, hook and bobber. As you can see I had so much fun with this set. I cut the reel and hook from gold paper which made them so realistic. The thread used for the fishing line made the fishing rod even more realistic. The hook can go right thru the fish's mouth the way the die is made.  I cut the bobber in both red and white and layered the two colors making it so realistic.  A couple of the paddles and the piles are from the Fishing Boat Set . The birds on the piles are from the Bird Bath  set.
The Old Barn Board  with the sentiment Gone Fishin' were paired up with the Ship's Anchor to fill in the top corner. These two new sets I featured will be fantastic for masculine cards. The details in them are amazing.  Now don't forget to check out our weekly challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. I would love to see your creations. Have a crafty week.

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Corina here with you all, to host the blog and share this weeks card creation. As you may notice, my card is all about Spring! Flowers, twigs and foliage!

I used a piece of thin Cork and die cut it with the French Flair Classic Stackers and the Adaptor Plate. The Cork cut out very easily - one run thru my die cut machine!  I then cut my pattern paper with a smaller French Flair Classic Stacker from the same set.

I layered these on a piece of pattern paper, which I rounded both top and bottom right side corners.
I created three large flowers, four small flowers, and two rose buds. I chose pink and blue hues to compliment the background pattern paper.

I also used the Dandelions, twigs and various foliage to fill in my floral arrangement. Rhinestones were added to the center of each flower.

Birthday (Set of 2) - B231

Hello!

Corina here, hosting the blog for you today - Happy Friday!

For this weeks card, I wanted to create another background using Cheery Lynn Designs Embossing Plates and the technique that I shared in last weeks post.

I decided to use the Wood Grain Embossing plate and three Distress Inks: Gathered Twig, Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo. The difference in value and shades of brown, allows you to see all the amazing detail that this Embossing Plate has.

For my Floral arrangement, I created two Daisy Flowers using the Daisy Strip. I decided to colour the flowers with alcohol markers for vibrancy and then added a little flocking to the inside of my flowers for pollen. I used an assortment of leaves and branches for my greenery in a few different green and tan shades.


Please take a look at my last weeks post regarding creating a Watercolour Embossed Background!

Hello Everyone! Corina here with you again on this Terrific Friday!

Last week I shared with you my card which was outside my CCZ! With this in mind, I thought this weeks card should show my Colour Comfort Zone and my creative style!

My favourite line in the Cheery Lynn Dies has to be the Steampunk! They are so versatile, allowing you to create in a number of styles. They bring the "playing out" in card making, each layer a different type of media.


I wanted to share the above picture, so you could see the quality and detail on these die cuts. They are an absolutely breeze to cut out and work with!

Hello there Blogging friends its Julie here today.Thanks so much to all of you who have taken the time to leave me a comment or a ‘like’ on Facebook last week for my card and previous weeks, I appreciate it so much. Also a warm welcome to our new followers. This week I combined our challenge of red, white and blue into my card.




I matted and layered my seaside themed papers using the stacker dies, to make them look like a picture frame with a little scene inside. I used the new Old Barn Board die which comes with the words, log and fishing line. The log was cut out in Kraft paper and I distressed the edges, I placed a few foam pads in the middle and glue at the edges this added more dimension to my card. My stamped image had a fishing line on it, which I cut off. You will see the extended bit on my fishing line is now made using my die, don’t you just love the little hook on the end of this. I pressed the hook into my embossing ink and double embossed using silver embossing powder and threaded a few beads through it to give a 3D look of a float on the line.
 My birds are from the birdbath set and my little Starfish was made using the leaves from the miniature rose die.
Good Luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Thanks for popping by, enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you all next Saturday.
