Surf Shop With Lisa Blastick

Hi! Today I have to share this super fun 3D Surf Shop that I made using Cheery Lynn Designs Dies.

The shop is custom made out of cardstock and embossed. The dimensions are 4 x 5 inches and adding another inch to the sides for the peak. I cut the window out using the second smallest of the rectangles and then die cut the 2nd and 3rd smallest for the window frame in the front and the back.

Here on the side, I used the smallest die from the circle and then I placed the life savor in white and green over the opening. Of course I need some palm trees and a bit of grass on the bottom.

Here is the back view. It is hard to see but all the waves are layered 3 times, so it appears to look the same as it does in the front.

Here is the opposite side of the surf shop. I basically kept them the same.

The top of the shop using surf boards and tropical flowers. I cut strips to look like straw by fussy cutting every .25 inch, then I used my flower maker to curve the ends up for a tiki roof.

I closer view of the waves, seahorse, beach chair and beach ball.

The other side showing the surf board layered with a cut seahorse on top.

The bottom sea shells and starfish are flat in the ocean.

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:

B646 Surf's Up Set

CM5 A2 Frames Rectangle

B279 Sand and Dollar Fish

L-4 Circle Classic Silver Stackers Layers

I hope you enjoyed this 3D project! I sure had a fun time making it and now off to the beach! JK

Amazing Summer Day 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 2:30 AM 6 Comments

Good morning everyone.

Did you all blog hop with us last Sunday? If you did "don't you just love" the new releases? If you didn't hop, you could always head over here ==> May 2016 New Release Blog Hop <== and hop with us.
Today I would like to show a projects that is totally in my comfort zone with lots of flowers and layers. For this layout I used the pretty "A Ladies' Dairy" collectors edition by Graphic 45.

My uncle posted this amazing picture of him {in the back as a goofy clown} and my aunt the second on the left way back in the sixties at a campground on little Barbee Lake in Indiana. The three other girls are their nieces. So adorable don't you think?

Amazing Summer Day:

On the metal plate the text says "reality has limits, imagination is boundless". It just so fits to this amazing picture with all beautiful minded people on it. The cream dotted paper I sprayed with water in the upper right corner to make it wrinkly. Then I placed another blue piece of paper behind it and just went nuts with stamping, spraying and pasting.

Maybe most of you know I love to use metal on my layout's and here I used metal brads for the centers of my layout and in the upper right corner I used a screw met embellishment by "Finnabair"!

On the cute leaves from the B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit {NEW} I added some glossy accents to give it more dimension. Also I cut apart the pretty FRM154 - Quatrefoil A2 Frame #2 {NEW} to place the pieces behind my picture which I layered on two pieces of paper.

Just for You by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 9 Comments

For the May 2016 New Release Blog Hop, please scroll down or click HERE.

Hello, it's Eva here today. Hope you enjoyed our blog hop yesterday and all of our new dies. Today I continue sharing a card created with some of our newest dies.

To create this card I cut an A2 size card base out of navy card stock and die cut the front with Card Cover Maker #4 and added gold glitter card stock beneath it. Next I die cut Mirror Mirror Doily Frame out of white card stock and also die cut the extra oval from the set using red card stock as it coordinates perfect with the Just For You Oval Die, which I die cut out of white card stock. I adhered the layers and finally placed them on the doily.

Next I die cut the flowers and flourishes from the Floral Bouquet Kit Die Set, built the flower and added them all to the card. Finally I added some yellow pearls in the middle of the flower.

Hope you like this happy card and here are the dies I used to create it with:

CAFR-11 - Card Cover Maker #4

DL286 - Mirror Mirror Doily Frame

B784 - Just For You Oval Die

B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit Die Set

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your cards in our challenge!

Hugs,

Eva

Under the Sea by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing with you an underwater themed card which would also look great on a scrapbook layout.

On the edge of my card I tattered my second layer with the edge of my scissors. Next I pressed the edge into my Versamark ink pad and heat set some Gold Embossing powder. My word Explore was also heat embossed in gold.

I used a mixture of foliage on the list below to give the look of Seaweed and Coral at the bottom of the sea. On my Princess Tree die I added a little Distress Stickles. My Starfish was shaded with ink and highlighted with a Fineliner pen, as was my Sand Dollar.

My Anchor was shaded with Copics, heat setting a little Distress Powder and a Patina powder for an aged rusty Look.

The detail on the Seahorse dies is incredible. I cut them out in patterned paper adding a little Stickles and Black Liquid Pearls to their eyes.I moulded the shape of them with my fingers for a curved look and mounted onto my card with Silicone Glue.

Finishing off with an accent from the Ships Compass

My wave edger, small shells and pearls.

We are having a blog hop tomorrow to showcase a wonderful New Release from Cheery Lynn Designs, there are so many new dies on my wish list !

So please stop by and you could be in with the chance of winning a shopping spree.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Our Current Challenge is Red, White and Blue. I hope you get a chance to join in the fun to win a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn.
