ROSES AT CHEERY LYNN

Hi all,

I really do apologise for my absence, I have been, and still am really busy at the moment but I will be back in full force again soon.

I have a card to share with you tonight which I made a little while ago and would like to enter into the lovely challenge at Cheery Lynn.

I loved making this card using a mixture of Cheery Lynn dies and this fabulous Sarah Kay image which has been coloured by a friend of mine.  You will see there is a pocket in both central sections where a tag has been slotted inside.  The flowers are from Wild orchid Crafts, I have machine stitched the edges and the papers are Tilda ones. 

I would like to enter this into the following:

CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND - MIDWAY REMINDER - SANTA/SANTA'S HAT

Hi everyone

Today sees the half way mark for the Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Santa/Santa's hat' and sponsored by Chi Chi Memories

The card blank has a little story to it.  Some years ago a friend of mine sent me a couple of card blanks similar to this in with a surprise craft parcel.  Well, I just recently came across these in my stash.  So, this card is similar to the ones I had sent but I wanted it to be a little larger.  

 Instructions:

I took a piece of A4 card and trimmed it to five inches wide.  I then scored in half and then Half an inch down on one side.  I then punched two holes (not easy but I managed it by cutting what had not cut with my little decoupage scissors) and threaded ribbon.  From there I then trimmed the front to measure four and one half inches from the second scored fold.  The topper (mine measures approx 4 and one half inches long and four inches wide) is then placed centrally so it runs even with the foot of the card so it will stand.

The Cuttlebug Embossed Cottage folder was stamped by the same friend and was in the same box as the card blanks.  I added stickles.

Here is the blog hop order

 So, onto my card.  I tried a different shape, as you know I love doing this.  I must admit I really like this shape and will be making more of these for sure.   I saw the idea on one of the Blogs and went ahead and played around creating my own version.  The three tags are made from Vintage Toppers from Cardmaker's Delights , flowers from Wild Orkchid Crafts and I have machine stitched around the edges.

Scoring Guidelines:

One sheet of A4 card.  I scored at  2inch,  4 inch,  6inch,  8 inch and  9.75

The squares turned to represent a diamond shape measure 3.25 inches suare, 3.5 inches square and 3.75inches suare.  I then made pockets to cover the bases and embellished.

CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND MAY CHALLENGE -Santa/hats

Hi everyone

Today sees the start to a new Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Santa/Santas hat' 
and sponsored by Chi Chi Memories.  I made this card which is a sort of eassel card.  It is simply a large die-cut (Go Kreate) cut twice.  One piece is scored two inches from the tip and folded.  This is then secured to the reverse of the card to form an easel to make it stand.  I saw this done by Debbie Dolphin in an old Magnolia ink magazine.  Debbie is one talented lady, take a look at her Blog here   I am in awe of her work.
