GDT AT CHEERY LYNN - MAGIC CARD

Hi and Good Morning everyone,

I am here today sharing my final card as Guest Designer for Cheery Lynn for the month of August.   Where has this month gone to!  I have had a ball making these cards, Thank you so much to Bj and Michael, Lori and all the DT for inviting me and making me so welcome.

I have been wanting to have a go at making one of these Magic Cards for simply ages and followed a Tutorial I found Tutorial online.  There are several Tutorials to be found.   My only problem was trying to photograph it, it was so very difficult.



The gorgeous image created by Sylvia Zet for Wee Stamps is centralised onto the inside uppermost panel and edged with the fabulous Felicity Tiny Doily DL143  
after first inking them very lightly with Tim Holtz Distress ink.  The image I have coloured with Copics.

The inside edges are edged with the Anastasia Border B136  and I have added a touch of copic in pink to tinge them

The two side panels have been edged with the gorgeous Dancing Doily Lace Border - DL134



Turning to the inside we have two panels here with a top fold crease dividing.  The lower panel contains a criss cross type pocket which is edged with Dancing Doily Lace Border - DL134.  There is a separate detachable insert bearing two gorgeous heart dies.  First we have  Two of Hearts- Dl128 and then we have  Heart to Heart Doily - DL106 which has been layered and finally finished off with the lovely  Darling Daisies - A196 .  These are fabulous, and a real must to the wishlist,  and the leaves come with the set.  I find myself reaching for these more and more.

The uppermost panel has the gorgeous  Felicity Doily - DL239  (Love this!) centralised onto the Memory Box papers.





And finally we come to the side panels.  The flowers formed into a sort of daisy chain are made up using the Darling Daisies - A196  and their leaves after first inking with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

GDT at CHEERY LYNN - FRAME IT

Hi and Good Morning everyone,

I am here today sharing another card as Guest Designer for Cheery Lynn for the month of August.   

I decided to try and stretch my imagination with different ways to use the Cheery Lynn dies that I have.  I just love this frame and came up with this shaped card.  I have made one of these before but just used c6 plain rectangles.  I love the effect it has achieved and hope you do too.


The Magic Moonlight  image is centralised onto the Fiona's Magic Mirror Frame FRM140  The top inside edges are edged with the Anastasia Border B136  and I have added Frantage after first inking the frame and edges with Tim Holtz Distressing ink.

The two central inside panels have a pocket into which is placed  two Vintage Tags  These are embellished with Ambergris Tiny Doilies DL245

And finally the flowers are made up using the  Chrysanthemum Strip B311  and  Build a Flower #1 B181 dies and these have been inked too.  I had such fun making this.

CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND CHALLENGE - Christmas Extravaganza

Hi everyone

Today sees the half way mark for the Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Christmas Extravanganza'  Basically this means Fussy and Fancy.

I opted to make a Bendy Fold Card.  I have been wanting to make one of these for ages, and to be honest it is aptly named because it nearly drove me round the bend! Haha.  My Bendy-fold does not fasten.  I was not happy with the fastening, and really I do not think it needs one.  Will I make another one this shape?  You bet I will, now that I have determined that I do not need the fastening.  Those embellishments hide a multiple of sins! lol
