Happy Birthday by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, it’s JULIE here today and I’m sharing some inspiration using one of our gorgeous Stacker Dies which I just adore. It’s such a beautiful design at the edges that gives any style of card an elegant touch.

I started by die cutting my Stacker Dies in white cardstock and tattered my patterned layers of papers at the edges. I layered onto my card with foam strips for extra dimension.

My flowers were shaped on my Embossing mat adding ink into the centres and a gem. I arranged on my card with some leaves.

New Baby by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it’s JULIE here today and I’m sharing a baby card using a couple of our Dies in the Whimsical range along with a selection of others.

You will notice I started tattering my layers of patterned paper adding onto my card with my Celtic Stacker die in-between.

Next I added my pretty Doily layers and stamped sentiment. My Whimsical Giraffe I glued onto a pale green paper and fussy cut around.

My Whimsical Flower I cut out in pale green paper and layered my patterned flower on top twice which had been shaped on my Embossing mat to add dimension. Finishing with several gems on my card.

Every Day of Your Life - by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I’m sharing some inspiration with our Cardmaker Dies. These are great Dies for putting a statement on your card especially if you need a card last minute for someone.

I started by matting my Cardmaker layer onto a layer of cardstock a few shades darker. Next I stamped my sentiment and mounted onto the same colour of card used in my background. This was then added onto my card with an accent of my Tag die behind and flourishes offset to the sides.

My flowers have been shaded with Distress Inks adding Flowersoft into the centres of the smaller ones and a sparkly gem into my Daisy.

The Songbird by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I’m sharing a vintage styled card using some papers I picked up recently at a car boot sale, along with a few other bargains.

I started by tattering edges of my base layer and heat embossed some gold powder onto the edges. Adding layers with coordinating papers, a little cheesecloth for a shabby look and my bird with embossing powder also at the edges.

My flowers were all cut out from coordinating papers and shaped on my Embossing mat and stamens added into the centres. I then arranged my floral arrangement onto my card along with leaves and flourishes.

My Rainbow by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans it’s JULIE here and this week I challenged myself to make a clean and simple styled card. This is something I find very hard to do as I always want to add more details within my design. So I guess this is probably as minimalistic as I can manage and I hope you like it and feel inspired to also step out of your comfort zone too.

I started by die cutting my smallest square in my stitched stackers in colours of the rainbow to compliment my stamped sentiment, adding my small Doily which was cut in half and placed in the centre.

My next layers were all added with foam strips for added dimension along with a few flowers to sit on my cloud. Adding a final touch of some squiggly lines around the edge of my card.

Happy Anniversary by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration using one of our Cardmaker Dies. I love the elegance and impact these give to a card especially if you need to make a card quickly.

I started by die cutting my Cardmaker die in Gold Mirri Card and in White Cardstock. I then offset my layers making sure I had an even aperture around the edges. I then layered onto my card with foam strips for added dimension.

Happy Anniversay was stamped and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I added extra touches of detail layering my Tags#2 flourish dies around the edges of my middle layers and adding on some gems.

A Birthday Recipe by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn Fans, it’s JULIE here and today I have been having fun with the cute Cozy Kitchen Die set from our new Retro release on my Birthday Card.

I started by matting and layering my base layers together, tattering the edges of my Stitched Stackers and adding some accents of lace for a vintage feel, gluing in place with foam strips for dimension.

My sentiment has been stamped onto patterned Maja Design paper and I paper pieced sections of my Doily to form a frame. Adding some die cut buttons which have a little thread in the centres.

My apron I added a touch of coordinating lace around the hem and a little Silicone Glue in the pocket to help give dimension and placed the mixing spoons in it. My food mixer I added a cute little heart that can also be placed onto the apron.

Thinking of You by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration on a card that could be used for many occasions just by changing the sentiment.

My card measures approximately 6 x 4 inches and the paper pad I have used is from Craft Consortium called Wild Rose. I started by adding my base layer onto my card and cutting my Doily in half from white cardstock.

My Tea Roses were also cut from the same patterned paper, shaping on my Embossing mat and adding a Gem into the centres. I bunched them together onto my card with a leaf flourish and my stamped sentiment.

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s Julie here today and I am sharing some inspiration on my friendship card using the super vintage Rotary Phone Die.

Using Maja Design papers I started by tattering my base layers and adding on Hello Friend.

My Rotary Phone was cut out in Black cardstock and Gold Glitter card, paper piecing my sections together and adding a large gem into the centre of the dial. I glued in place with some Silicone Glue onto my tattered layer and Doily.

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some Vintage inspiration with our Dies and a new Pop Up one today.

My card measures approximately 6x6 inches and uses pretty Maja Design papers. You will see my paper layers have been tattered at the edges adding a pretty Stacker frame between my layers. I also added a Doily between my torn layers and foam strips to my torn layers to give more dimension to my card.

My flowers were inked at the edges and shaped on my Embossing mat with a gem added to the centres and flourishes paper pieced around my card.

I also cut down a flower to fit on the corner adding a little Silicone Glue between the 2 layers, I love how pretty this effect looks.

My Best Wishes sentiment was layered onto my card adding another layer of patterned paper inked at the edges and flower petals in the corners all to compliment the outside of my card.

Easter Egg Hunt by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some more Easter inspiration with the super selection of Dies we have available.

I started by cutting out my chicks in lemon and white cardstock. I shaded the eggs with Tattered Rose Distress Ink and mounted them onto the yellow die cut chicks adding a drop of Black Liquid Pearls into their eyes.

My rabbit was shaded with Iced Spruce Distress ink and a fluffy Pom Pom tail added.

My eggs were cut out of Craft Consortium’s Wild Rose Paper Pad and mounted onto background paper and fussy cut around the edges, finishing with lots of pink gems being added onto them for sparkle.
