Hope You Enjoy your Day!

Hello Bloggers,

Todays card is for Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge No. 136 – Creative Corners. I’ve made the card using Cheery Lynn Lace Corner Deco B B162 corners.  It’s a set of three and they are very pretty.  I’ve also used the Cheery Lynn English Tea Party DL101 doily die, it’s definitely in my favourites, actually I really love all their doily dies, but the English Tea Party and French Pastry are my favourites.

For the flowers, I’ve used the Heartfelt Creations Tattered Blossoms die HCD 722 and the matching stamp HCPC3468 Tattered Blossoms PreCut Set.  I’ve stamped the flowers in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and once they’ve been die cut I’ve inked them in Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet Distress Inks.

The sentiment stamp is from JustRite Papercrafts and is out of the Grand Birthday Sentiments set CL-04745 and it’s been stamped in Versafine Olympia Green ink.

The designer paper is a left over from an older Kaisercraft paper, I’m not sure of the name, sorry!

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s card and thank you for stopping by.  I would love it if you would leave a comment to let me know you’ve visited my blog.

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers

I Love Roses

Hi Bloggers,

I love roses and I love making roses.  Cheery Lynn’s Challenge for this week is Roses, so I had to enter.

This is my entry for the challenge and I have used several of Cheery Lynn’s dies including Dancing Doily Lace Border DL134, the Rose strip dies in all three sizes, Wheat Heads B388, English Tea Party Doily DL101 and Wreath Strip B216.

I used the JustRite Elegant Fronds Background Stamp CL-03695 and stamped it in Dried Marigold Distress Ink on smooth white cardstock and cut out the stamped image.  Then I’ve inked the edge of a larger piece of white cardstock with Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink and adhered the stamped piece to the inked piece and used my Mini Perfect Layers rulers to get a perfect 1/8” border.  I’ve attached the panel to my card front with foam tape.

I die cut my doily and cut it in half, then inked the curved edge with Ripe Persimmon ink and attached it to the left hand side of my card.  The Dancing Doily lace border was die cut from white cardstock and inked with Ripe Persimmon ink and glued just slightly down from the middle of the card.

I tied a bow from seam binding and attached it to the left hand side level with the border strip.  My flowers were die cut from white parchment paper and shaped and glued together with hot glue.  I attached the flowers with silicone and tucked the leaves underneath while the silicone was still wet.  I poked in a few large stamens to look like buds and finished the card off with some pearls.

I hope you’ve enjoyed todays post.  I would love it if you would leave a comment to let me know you’ve been to visit.

Cheers

Catch Up!

Hi Bloggers,

This post is to catch up from the last few weeks because I’ve been really slack.  No excuses, just slack.

 

Card No. 1

“Have a Lovely Day”

This card was designed for Jacqui to use for card classes at Kookaburra Crafts. The flowers have been die cut from an older Joy Crafts die and hand painted with Silks Acrylic Glazes in “Fire Opal”.

Ingredients:  Cheery Lynn “Flourish Leaf Strip” B178, Joy Craft Flower 6002/0025, Our Daily Bread “Beautiful Borders” CSBD51, Spellbinders “Framed Labels Eighteen” 3D embossing folder, JustRite “Birthday Vintage Labels Four” CR-04580, Silks Acrylic Glaze, rhinestones, white A4 cardstock and red Bazzil cardstock.

 

Card No. 2

“Wishing You Everything Happy on this Special Day”

Another card for classes at Kookaburra Crafts.  The flowers have been die cut and shaped and the micro beads used for the centres of the flowers.

Ingredients: Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles S5-147, Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles S5-161, Black Eyed Susan Strip B338, Cheery Lynn Wreath Strip B216, JustRite Birthday Vintage Labels Four CR-04580 and pearls.

 

Card No. 3

“Thinking of You”

 

This card was made by request for a friend who was wanting a Thinking of You card for her brother.

The fishing bits have been cut from white cardstock and coloured with copic markers.

Ingredients: Kaisercraft 6 1/2” Paper Pad “Vintage Timeless”, JustRite “Large Fancy Sentiments” CR-03815, Cottage Cutz “Fishing Set” CC4x4-143, scraps of designer paper from my scrap box, brown 12x12 Bazzil cardstock, Ivory A4 Cardstock, bronze brads and kitchen string.

 

Cards No. 4, 5 @ 6

“Get Well”

Card 4 was made for my Father-in-Law who ended up in hospital due to a recurring health issue and I just wanted to give him something to let him know that we were thinking of him.

Cards 5 and 6 where made for Kookaburra Crafts class.  I showed Jacqui a pic of Ian’s card and she loved it, so it became a class card.

Ingredients:  Card 4 the designer papers where loose sheets amongst my 6 1/2” Kaisercraft paper pads, so I’m no too sure exactly which pads they came out of.  Cards 5 and 6 the designer paper is from Pion Designs and the images on all three cards were from Pion Designs. Bazzil cardstock backed the designer paper for all of the cards and the die cuts are from Spellbinders Opulent Ovals.  The sentiment is from JustRite “Large Fancy Sentiments” CR-03815. Pearls and ribbon were also used.

 

Card 7

“Happy Birthday”

This card didn’t start out as a card.  I started out playing with the stamps for the Heartfelt Creations Flower die Sun Kissed Fleur.  I stamped the image, die cut them, coloured them and then thought they looked way too pretty to put in a box for “one day”, so I had to make a card to go with them.  It is now going to be used in Kookaburra Crafts card classes.

Ingredients:  JustRite “Large Fancy Sentiments” CR-03815, Heartfelt Creations “Sun Kissed Fleur PreCut Set” HCPC 3533, Heartfelt Creations “Sun Kissed Fleur” HCD734, Spellbinders “Fancy Lattice” S5-152, Joy Crafts “Oval French Lily” 6002/0254, 8mm Silver Acrylic Round Flatbacked Dotted Rhinestone Gems, Spellbinders “Classic Triple Scallop” E8-003 & lots of pearls.

Ok, all caught up…..I think!  I’m going to have to get into a better routine of blogging as I go, so I don’t have to go back through looking up names of die sets and stamp sets for a heap of cards. 

Thanks for dropping by, please leave a comment so that I know you’ve visited my blog.  I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at my cards as much as I’ve enjoyed making them.

Have a wonderful day!

Bling It Up

Hi Bloggers,

I started designing the card in this post for a card challenge at Kookaburra Crafts and the challenge was for a gatefold card.  That didn’t end up happening, but Jacqui has been wishing I’d do some more Cheery Lynn Challenges.

So I decided to turn my attention to the challenge at Cheery Lynn this week, Challenge No. 130  “Bling It Up”.  Who doesn’t like a bit of bling in their life.  Well I definitely think my card fits the criteria of Bling with 110 rhinestones glistening away.

The doily, butterfly and all of the flowers are cut from Cheery Lynn dies.  I traced around the doily die for the blue mat behind the doily.

Cheery Lynn dies used: Daisy Strip #B259, Tiny Flower Kit #B376, Ivy Corner Flourish #B315, French Pastry Doily Die #DL102, Exotic Butterfly Small #DL112 and Small Angel Wing DL112A

Other Products and Dies Used:  Spellbinders Standard Circles Small #S4-116, Spellbinders Standard Circles Large #S4-114, JustRite Grateful Heart Vintage Labels Two #CR-04450, lots of rhinestones, Ivory A4 Cardstock, Blue cardstock from a DCWV Cardstock stack and designer paper and stamps from Prima “Fairy Belle Collection” (a freebie paper stack from the “Australian Simply Cards Magazine)

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment to let me know that you’ve been to visit.  I hope you’ve enjoyed todays card and have a fantastic day!

Thinking of You!

Hello Bloggers,

I was asked to make todays card by a friend.  Her sister-in-law has been diagnosed with a serious illness and she wants to let her know she’s in her thoughts.

The white cardstock is a combination of linen, hammer and sand all 270gms, so it is a really sturdy card.  The designer paper is an off cut from another card from long ago and the strip with the company and paper name is missing, I think it may have been a Kaisercraft paper.

The frame die I’ve used today is Spellbinders “Majestic Labels Twenty-five” S5-189, I’ve used dies 5 and 6 to create the frame and kept the inner section for another card.

The panel in the centre is the Heartfelt Creations “Raindrops on Roses” die, HCD743. The sentiment tag is die cut from Spellbinders “Grommet Tags” S4-322, embossed and while still in the die, I’ve lightly inked around the edge with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I’ve stamped the “Thinking of You” sentiment from JustRite “Large Fancy Sentiments” CR-03815 in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Organza ribbon was threaded through the holes in the grommet tag before it was attached to the card with double sided foam tape and the ends where taped behind the whole panel before it was attached to the card. I then made a double bow from the ribbon and a decorative pin from bits and pieces from my stash, I attached the bow with silicone and popped the pin in behind the bow.

Cheery Lynn Rose strip dies miniature and large where used to make all the roses and the large rose and small rose below the bow where inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

Pearls from my stash were added to finish the card off.

Thanks for dropping by and please feel free to leave me a comment to let me know you’ve visited.

Have a wonderful day!

Birthday Cards!

Hello Bloggers,

I’ve used the Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles S5-161 for both cards. I absolutely love these Spellbinders dies and I’m probably going to bore everyone to death by overusing them, but I really, really love them. 

This first card was for my Mother-in-Law, Shirley, for her birthday.

I’ve used (working from the middle die out) dies 3, 4, 6 and 7 from the Radiant Rectangles set. They’ve all been cut from ivory cardstock and embossed.  Die number 3 was very lightly inked with Rangers Dusty Concord Distress Ink, while it was still in the die.

The designer paper is “Violet Bouquet” by Graphic 45. The purple cardstock for the mat is from Bazzill. 

The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the JustRite Papercrafts CR-03815 “Grand Sentiments”.

The purple rose is made from Ivory linen paper and the Heartfelt Creations “Vintage Floret Die” HCD727, it has been inked with Dusty Concord ink.

I’ve used organza ribbon and pearls from my stash, along with a headpin and beads from my stash for the decorative pin.

 

My second card is also a birthday card, not made for anyone in particular, I just wanted to play with the flowers.

This card uses dies 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. I’ve discarded the outer piece cut from die no. 7. 

I’ve used a lighter blue bazzill cardstock and a white linen cardstock for the various layers.

The sentiment is again from the JustRite Papercrafts CR-03815 “Grand Sentiments” (I love this set, the sentiments are beautiful) stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

The blue scrunched flowers have been made from the Heartfelt Creations “Vintage Floret Die” HCD727, inked with distress ink and a pearl in the centre.  The smaller flowers are from a McGill Baby Blossoms Punch and have also been inked with distress inks, the cherry blossom type flower has stamens (held in place with silicone) in the centre. The leaves are punched from what I believe to be an old Carl punch (I bought it second hand) and the wreath leaf is from a Martha Stewart punch.

The pearls are from my stash.

 

Shirley’s card has been remade for a class card, we used a bought flower on the class version and the second card is on the list to be used in class.

Thanks for stopping by for a look and please feel free to leave a comment to let me know you’ve been for a look.

Have a wonderful day!

Snowflakes

Hi Bloggers,

Todays card is an entry in this weeks Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge No. 115 “Snowflakes”.  Snowflakes!!!!  I grew up in central Queensland and I’ve never seen snow in my life, so this was a challenge for me.  I own snowflake dies and embossing folders, but even for Christmas cards, I’m not big on snowflakes, because it doesn’t snow here.  But anyway, challenge or not, I’ve given it a go.

I have embossed my white core cardstock with the CLD Snowflake Flurries embossing plate, I’ve left the paper attached to the plate with painters tape and lightly sanded the cardstock to bring out the embossing.  The darker cardstock for the mat and Elegant Labels 4, I’ve actually coloured with a pearl ink because I couldn’t find just the right colour to use.  I’ve used the same ink to colour both the light and dark poinsettias. The centres have been filled with silver micro beads and the holly flourish has been cut from white cardstock and coloured with a silver mist. Unfortunately, even though Cheery Lynn have a huge range of snowflake dies, I don’t own any.  So I’ve used a snowflake die from Die-namics (I’m unsure of the name of it, I’ve owned it for a number of years), I’ve attached the snowflakes with foam tape and kindy glitzed them, for a bit of sparkle.

Cheery Lynn dies used:  B148 Holly Flourish, DL113 Exotic Butterfly small #2, DL113A Small Angel Wing, B324 Poinsettia Strip, B154 Medium Rose

Other Ingredients in this card:  S4-190 Spellbinders Labels 4, S6-005 5x7 Elegant Labels 4, Die-namics Snowflakes, ribbon, pearls, rhinestone flourish, micro beads, white core cardstock from DCWV, 90gsm white regal parchment paper (for the flowers), white linen cardstock (for the card base)

Have a great day and thank  you for looking.

Cheers

For Your Special Day!

Hello Bloggers,

We’ve been having a heatwave here over recent weeks and it’s just been so uncomfortable, we’ve lost guinea pigs and a chook and I know of others that have lost pets also, but finally some real relief today, it has rained/drizzled almost all day today, and the temperature has been lovely.  Going from one extreme to the other I feel for those in America living through a blizzard, my heart goes out to them.

On with my card for today, I’ve made it for a Cheery Lynn Designs blog challenge “Winter Whites”.

To make the card base I cut 2 pieces of linen cardstock at 8 1/4” x 6 1/2” then 1 piece at 1” x 8 1/4” scored this at 1/2” and used it as a hinge to join the first two pieces.

Layer One:  Cut linen cardstock to 8” x 6 1/4”, cut hammer cardstock to 7 7/8” x 6 1/8” glue or tape this to the linen cardstock then attach panel to the base with double sided foam tape.

Layer Two:  Cut linen cardstock to 6 5/8” x 4 7/8”, cut smooth cardstock to 6 1/2” x 4 3/4” emboss in a 5” x 7” embossing folder (I used a Cuttlebug folder, unfortunately I don’t know it’s name) glue or double sided tape to the linen cardstock. Attach to layer one with double sided foam tape.

Layer Three:  From linen cardstock use Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight to cut out the frame, then use Labels Eight to cut the centre out. Die cut the Cheery Lynn French Lattice Frame (FRM132), turn the decorative label eight panel face down, lay the lattice panel on top and mark where you need to cut it to sit nicely behind. Cut it out then glue behind the decorative labels eight frame.  Use the labels eight die and trace around it and cut out, use double sided foam tape to attach the frame to this.  Attach to layer two with double sided foam tape.

Sentiment:  The sentiment is from JustRite Papercraft “Grand Birthday Sentiments” and is stamped in “Smokey Grey” ink by Versafine onto smooth white cardstock.  This is then diecut using the Spellbinders “Labels Twenty’Eight” die number 3 and embossed”.  The panel is then attached to the lattice with double sided tape or glue.

Flowers:  The largest flower is cut using Cheery Lynn Designs “Sweet William” strip die.  I’ve used all the pieces, I’ve lightly misted them, then wrapped each petal individually around the barrel of a pen and pinched them.  When they are dry I’ve used a stylus in a circular motion in the flower centre, cupping them more the smaller they get, I’ve put the flower together with a rhinestone brad from small to large alternating the petals as I went.  The roses were made with the Medium Rose strip die from Cheery Lynn Designs, there are many tutorials on making roses with these dies on Youtube.   I’ve lightly inked the calyxes with Bundled Sage Distress Ink from Ranger.  The smallest rose is made using little flowers from the Cheery Lynn Embellisment 3 B265 in the same way as the bigger ones. The leaves are die cut from Cheery Lynn “Wreath Strip” B216, I only used the tips not the whole leaf. I lightly inked the leaves with Bundled Sage Distress Ink also.  All of the flowers and leaves were lightly spritzed with “Perfect Pearls Mists” by ranger, to give them a little shine.

The bow in the corner is 1/2” ribbon tied into a triple bow and then I’ve blinged the card up with some pearls.

Thanks for stopping by,

Regards,

Jenelle

A Thank You Card for a Competition!

Hello Bloggers,

I’ve used an old Prima 6”x6” paper stack pad called “Fairy Flora”, I bought it 3 years ago when I was in Mackay for Christmas with family.  I love the paper in it, but find it hard to use because it’s too pretty to cut up!….lol.  The brown cardstock is from a cardstock pack that I bought at Kmart and the cream is from a junk shop.

I’ve also used a new die that Jacqui has gotten in at Kookaburra Crafts, it’s a Joy Crafts die 6002/0304, it’s so pretty and lacy.

All of the flowers and leaves are die cut using Cheery Lynn Designs dies from 190gsm White Regal Parchment paper and coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Inks then shaped and glued together.

 

Finished card is 6 1/2” x 7”

Ingredients used in this card:

Prima “Fairy Flora” designer paper, cream cardstock, brown cardstock, regal parchment paper, Cheery Lynn Designs dies – B339 Gardenia Strip, B376 Tiny Flower Kit, B152 Miniature Rose, B188 Embellishment #2 and B216 Wreath Strip, Joy Crafts die 6002/0304, JustRite Papercraft Stamp set “For All You Do Vintage Labels Three” SW-04420, Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Shaded Lilac, Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, Old Paper, Peeled Paint, Evergreen Bough, Iced Spruce and Forest Moss, Versafine “Vintage Sepia” ink, stamens and rhinestones.

An Elegant Birthday

Hello Bloggers,

Today I want to share with you a card that I've made for my Mother's birthday.  I've used a new die from Joy Crafts "French Lilly Oval" 6002/0254 that I purchased from Jacqui at Kookaburra Crafts.  It's a beautiful intricate die and I can see a lot of uses for it. I had a lot of fun playing with it and absolutely love the end result.

Kookaburra Crafts runs 4 cardmaking classes per week (check out the blog for more information) and Jacqui decided to have a combined Christmas party this year and have a card competition as part of the day, there was no theme to the competition and I entered and won with this card, so I'm really happy with it and I thank everyone who voted for it.

Thanks for dropping by,

Cheers

Jenelle

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Bloggers,

I would like to wish everyone out there a really wonderful, safe and blessed Christmas and New Year.

Here it is Christmas night and I’m blogging, but I wanted to share just a couple of the many Christmas cards I made.  These are ones I was really happy with and they are also for family members.

Three of the five cards use the Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 which I’ve really fallen in love with, it is just beautiful. They all use Spellbinders and Marianne Design dies and lots of layers and handmade flowers.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cheers

Jenelle

Birthday Cards

Hi Bloggers,

Sorry it’s been a while, I’ve had problems with my sight for a while and I finally went to the optometrist and had my eyes checked and was told by the lovely man at the optometrist that my eyesight problems were part of the natural aging process…..yay, I’m getting old (and it sucks)….lol

Anyway…..on to the cards.  I’ve actually got 3 cards today, 1 is a Christmas card (just a quick and simple one) and 2 birthday cards.  I’ve made both of the birthday cards for my Mum one to give to a friend and the other one to her sister.  They are both based on cards that Jacqui from Kookaburra Crafts did in class a few weeks ago.

Both of them use the beautiful Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One S5-181.  I love these, they are so versatile.

The first card uses some Pion Design DP paper Almas Sewing Room and some pearl cardstock that I picked up up from a dollar shop.  The flowers are made from this cardstock and the Sizzix Susan’s Gardens Hibiscus die (I just love those dies too).  I’ve used the hibiscus die to make roses.  The other flowers are from Cheery Lynn including the buds which are from the Rose Strip dies.  The sentiment panel is a Joy Crafts Oval Frame die 6002/0258.

Card number 2 I’ve used Spellbinders Rose Creations for my roses (this die set is definitely in the favourites list for me because you can make way more than roses with it). The smaller white roses are from the Cheery Lynn Rose Strip dies. I’ve used the same die for my rosebuds and the leaves are also a Cheery Lynn strip die. The sentiment panel on this one is a Spellbinders Majestic Elements die Opulent Ovals S5-160.  The designer paper is from a Prima A4 paper stack Romantique Collection.

Last but not least…. a quick and simple Christmas card.  This card was made with some glitter foam for the Christmas tree (die cut with a freebie die on the Australian Simply Cards magazine) plain white and green cardstock and some crochet cotton (it looks a little like twine but it really is crochet cotton). 

Thanks for dropping by,

Cheers

More Class Cards

I am sorry it’s been so long between posts.  I’ve been unwell and I’ve had kids home from school sick also.  It’s been so much fun, I think they’ve been tag teaming with being sick over the winter months.

I’m playing catch up now and here are two cards that I’ve managed to make for Kookaburra Crafts classes in the last couple of months. (Months! I have been slack).

Card 1 – Blossom Corners

I love this card, the beautiful corners by Heartfelt Creations are just so dainty and lacy I love them.

The ingredients for this card are: White Smooth Cardstock, Pink Bazzill Cardstock, Scrap of green cardstock, Heartfelt Creations HCD 729 – Decorative Blossom Corners, Marianne Creatables LR0241, Cheery Lynn Flourish Leaf Strip, Justrite Stampers – Thank You Labels Twenty, Spun Sugar & Victorian Velvet Justrite Stampers, White Satin 25mm Ribbon,1 x 3cm White Rose, 2 x 2cm Pink/White Roses, 3 x 1.5cm White Roses, 1 x White Mini Rosebud, 3 Stamens

Card 2 – Butterfly on Lattice

I love butterflies and this Craftables one by Marianne Designs is just divine. I made the background paper for this card by squishing the distress ink pad onto a craft sheet and spritzing it with water, then dip an old toothbrush into the ink and use your fingers to flick the ink onto the background paper.  It’s a really quick and easy way to make a background paper and you could use a couple of different colours for a different look.

The ingredients for this card are:  A4 White Smooth Cardstock, Bazzill Basics Cardstock, Scrap of green cardstock, Scrap of 170gsm Parchment Paper for the flowers, Spellbinders Lattice Motifs, Craftables Butterfly – CR1205, JustRite Custom Dies – Vintage Labels Four, Spellbinders – Jewel Flowers and Flourishes, Nellie Snellen Floral Punches – Sm, Med & Lg, JustRite Becca Feeken Stamp Set, Shaded Lilac Distress Ink, Old Toothbrush, Versafine Smoky Grey ink
