With Love from Cupid by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, lovely to have you stop by. It's JULIE here today and I'm sharing some inspiration using the adorable newly released Cupid die.

I started by die cutting out my layers from patterned cardstock, tattering at the edges and adding a little Distress Ink. My frame I cut out an aperture using my square stackers to create a window effect, I then glued on my Scandinavian Heart frame. I placed lace around the centre of my frame and added lots of pearls, mounting onto my card.

My 'Love You' was also shaded with Distress Ink and mounted onto my tattered square frame adding a touch of cheesecloth and finishing with a few more pearls.

My Cupid was shaded with Distress Inks....isn't he so cute !

I mounted my Tea Rose onto my Heart as an extra finishing touch.

Joy to the World by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here and today I am sharing with you my latest Festive card making a Christmas Wreath for my sweet little Robin to sit on.

I started by matting and layering my first few chosen layers, adding Stickles and Distress ink around the edges. You will also notice on my top layer I highlighted all the pierced holes with a red Fine Liner Pen and scattered some Frantage embossing Powder for a snowy effect.

My Wreath was cut out 3 times and my base layer was cut in half and slightly offset to give

the illusion of more foliage gluing another layer on top. For my final layer I added heat set Mistletoe coloured embossing powder onto the foliage. This gave it added sparkle and detail.

My robin was shaded with Distress Inks and some Black Liquid Pearls added to his eye. My Candy Canes are from the Build a Tree set. I die cut them in White cardstock and added some red with a Fine Liner Pen.

My wording was heat embossed with Red Tinsel and offset onto Green Card Stock for a shadow effect.

Finishing off with my Pretty Bow.

Nostalgic Christmas by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. This week our Challenge is Non Traditional Christmas Colours and I thought it would be fun to join in.

All my die cuts on my card were heat embossed with different powders from Sparkly ones to Glossy ones. My main image I sprinkled a little White Powder for a snowy effect and heat embossed around the edges to frame my image, mounting onto a little Cheesecloth.

My Snowflowers are layered in two different shades and I trimmed the top die cut layer at the outer points of the Snowflake to give a graduation effect on my Snowflower adding a Gum Drop to the centre.

My Deer were heat embossed with a Glossy Powder and mounted onto a pink shade of cardstock at their bodies, I then trimmed around the outline of my deer. This made my Deer pop on the design and easy to cut around with having a raised surface.

I tattered the edges with my scissors adding some Distress Ink and Glitter Embossing powder to the edges.

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today sharing with you my sparkly Festive card. Let me take you through the process of how to apply your glitter to your die cut with a double sided sheet of adhesive.

Step 1: Attach adhesive sheet to White cardstock by releasing one side of the protective layer. You should now have a sheet of paper that has cardstock on one side and the adhesive film for the sticky sheet on other side with its protective layer still on.

Step 2: Place the protective layer side up on die cutting machine and place your die on top and cut.

Step 3: Once cut, glue a fussy cut oval to the back of your die cut. This makes the design POP.

Step 4: Rub an anti static bag over your paper, this way the glitter will only adhere to the adhesive. Now start to cut into the protective layer and lift off the film to reveal the sticky parts of the Holly. Start rubbing green glitter into the area with your finger.

Step 5: Repeating the process to lift adhesive film again with your craft knife to reveal the sticky parts where you want to put the red glitter.

This process takes a little while but is a great way to apply different colours of glitter without them mixing.

My snowy scene at the bottom was created using Embossing Puff powder and Distress inks.

Mixed Media Christmas Card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing some Festive Inspiration using the new Royal Scandinavian Doily.

I die cut out my Doily and Corners and heat embossed with a Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, layering onto my patterned cardstock.

Next I cut out my Candlelight die 3 times, so I had plenty parts to build up my layers for texture. My foliage was shaded with Copics, shaped on my embossing mat and layered up a few times. My Poinsettia was also shaded with Copics, layering in my shaped petals and adding a little Gold Flower Soft to the centre.

My candles were layered twice. On the top section I brushed on some Beeswax which I had melted in my Meltpot. I then added some drips of wax and once set, highlighted with Gilding Wax. My flames were shaded with Copics and some Glossy Accents added onto them.

I do hope you have enjoyed my techniques and feel inspired to try them out on your die cuts.

Wish Big with Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn friends, Karen here sharing

a sweet birthday card with you today!

First, I used two of the stackers from the

NEW Heart Edge Square (set of 6) and die cut

them in two different designer papers!

Then, I layered the pink designer paper,using the Square Classic Silver Stackers,

onto grey designer paper to create a subtle backing!

This layer has been popped up using pop dots!

Next step was to die cut the most adorable NEW Eloise the Elephant die.

To make the "HAPPY" part of Eloise's tummy stand out, I backed

it with blue designer paper.

You'll see I also backed the toes, eyebrow, and eye with

designer papers too!

I also wanted her to stand out, so I added pop dots beneath!!

Lastly, I used the NEW Leafy Flourish (set of 2) with green designer paper

and tucked them behind the elephant.

I then layered four tiny flowers I created using

the Embellishments #3 die set, and added pearl centers to each flower!

To finish my card, I used the Sentiment Frame #2 die set

and stamped the sentiment!

List of dies I used:

DL295 Heart Edge Square (set of 6)

L1 Square Classic Silver Stackers

B562 Eloise the Elephant

Shabby Butterflies by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends, Its Julie here today. I'm sharing with you a Shabby Style card with some mixed media on it. It is approximately 5 3/4 inches square in size.

Here is the start of the layers on my card. I cut a square of patterned paper and then placed my Dutch Daisy Border die on with some low tack tape to cut. I used my Distress Tool around the edges and added a couple of scraps of paper which I inked at the edges.I then applied some Texture Paste through a strip of Sequin Waste to act as a Stencil. Once dry I added a little Distress ink to coordinate with the paper.

I used the large and medium die in the Sentiment Tag set, cutting white cardstock and adding a little Distress ink to the larger die before layering up and adding some Stickles around the middle. I then layered onto my Alpine Flourish.

My Butterflies were cut in patterned paper and layered up twice.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my card and now feel inspired to try this style of card. Good Luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Gone Fishin by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

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.

Mixing it Up with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Happy Memorial Day. Before we get to Rhonda's project, we would like to honor the more than one million Americans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Without these brave men and women, we would not have the freedoms we do today. Thank you to each and every one and to their families for their sacrifices.

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you. My project today is another where I've used a variety of scraps and it was really fun to put together. I like to save my unused cuts so they don't go to waste, then challenge myself to use them up. You'll see that I cut some designs apart to use them in a different way.

I started with a 5.5" square base card, then I layered my Square Horizon Boutique Stacker, Square Scalloped Stacker and Square Classic Silver Stacker together. Next I added the Chicken Wire, Wagon Wheel and ribbon. Then the Princess Tree was cut apart and layered under my Daisy Strip.

The Daisy was cut from white cardstock and inked for a softer dimensional look. I cut a heart from Sophia's Heart Border as an accent for my little tag. A few little pearls and bling were added to give a little sparkle to my card.
