Vintage Layered Card by Julie Lavalette

Click to Enlarge

Hi Everyone, Julie here today hosting the blog. This week I thought I would share a vintage style card with you.

I thought I would show you previous layers on my card as it makes it easier to see. The first 2 layers glued onto my card were torn at the edges and some distress added to the edges and I placed my tiny doily onto both sides. My next layer, I die cut out the Horizon Square Frame, distressed the edges and added some creases onto the paper and placed my die cut heart.

My image I glued lace around and added to my Magic Mirror die which I had distressed the edges on and added some gilding wax too.

Layers of different leaves and flourishes were added which I cut out in different coordinating papers. My roses were die cut from white cardstock. I shaded the paper with my Copics before building my roses. Finally adding a few pearls on my card to finish.

Good luck to everyone entering our challenge this week and thanks for stopping by.

A Little Birdie Told Me by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone, it's Julie here today hosting the blog.

I hope you are managing to get some creative time to yourself. Today I have made a little Mediterranean inspired card. My husband and I love to go to the island of Majorca where you see many white washed houses with shuttered windows.

My window was cut out of a cereal packet which I then painted to give a shabby feel. I mounted the window onto a little grey card, placing a little spider ribbon behind to give the illusion of a net curtain. I then added my Anastasia border behind to look like curtains. Don't you just want to peek in the window ! I love having the little window box as it is a lovely finish touch to add the Wow factor.

My Penny Farthing (bicycle wheel) I cut out twice in black and once in silver card stock, paper piecing it back together over the first complete die cut. My little birds were highlighted with some distress inks.

My brick wall was made using Cheery Lynn's embossing plates, please check them out here on the shop blog. I rubbed some distress ink over the embossing plate, placed a white piece of paper onto it and ran through my die cutting machine using the rubber embossing mats. So easy to do with fabulous results.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my card today and I have managed to inspire you. Good luck to everyone entering our weekly challenge and I'll see you all next Saturday.

Song Birds

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a fun fold to share with you. My inspiration came from a very lovely and talented lady. Her name is Judy and she calls this fold a Horizontal Multifold. As you will see, it is pretty simple to make but gives you a bit of a different twist for the times you want to add that little something extra.

Here is a little closer look at the front. I used Sweet Williams Strip and crepe paper to make the flowers. With crepe paper you can make the flowers as full as you want because the paper is so thin you can layer many more die cuts to achieve your desired shape and fullness.

here is the inside

Here's a list of the dies used for this project:

B188 - Embellishment #2
B198 - Bird Cage
B266 - Tiny Things with Wings
B307 - Sweet Williams Strip
B308 - City Girl Edger
B312 - Burlap Border
B315 - Ivy Corner Flourish
L-10 - Coved Rectangle Classic - LG Silver Stackers

I hope you have an opportunity to play along with the challenge this week and put in your entry. The theme is Keep it Krafty (use kraft paper)! With your entry you will have a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs!
