Vintage Inspired Baby Card Tutotial/Video - Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi Everyone,

This week for Cheery Lynn Designs I have created a baby card, using a range of Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  This card would certainly look beautiful in pink or blue!  I used the Oval Classic Stacker Series, to form a frame, and dressed it up using ribbon. 

The images are from  NiceCrane Designs, using the Bessie Gutman Pack.  A range of high quality, beautiful images, ready for printing and adding into your creations.  You can also find a huge variety of many other image packs on the NiceCrane Designs website, and follow along with the NiceCrane Designs Blog, with lots of inspiring design team projects. I am doing some design work, as time permits, and having a wonderful time using the images available.

I have completed a full tutorial on how to make this card from start to completion.  Also, for those on a slow internet connection, I have shared the basic instructions on how to form the frame, below.

Instructions:

1. Use a small piece of blu-tac between Oval Classic Stacker Series dies to hold them together.  This stops dies moving and you will achieve an evenly cut frame.

2. Die-cut your frame from chipboard, using the Oval Classic Stacker Series dies.

3. Set aside middle of die-cut to use in a future project.

5. Place a small glue dot on back of cut frame, adhere ribbon and begin to wind around the frame.

6. Continue carefully winding around frame until the whole frame is covered.

7. Affix ribbon in place with another glue dot on back of frame.

8. Die-cut Manon's Wedding Garland twice, cutting between the details as pictured above.

9. Adhere Manon's Wedding Garland to the back of the frame using a strong adhesive.

10. Insert fine lace in the same manner as above, though on the inside of the frame.

11. Use the same shaped Oval Classic Stacker that you created with, to draw around the photograph or image you wish to have featured in the frame. Cut out, and affix to the back of frame.

A simple technique, which looks very striking!

Summer Fun, With Helmar and August Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I have been busy playing in creating quick tutorial's via video. So please bear with me as move through the early learning stages...

For Helmar this week, we have a Summer Time theme, so I created this layout with my two beautiful son's and their best friends riding in the Darell Lea hot rod, that our next-door neighbour owned. The boy's used to think they were the ants pants riding around in a hot rod, with no roof, in the heat of late Summer afternoons. Wonderful memories...

My whole layout was put together using two wonderful products by Helmar, the Quickfix Tape Runner and my very favourite adhesive for scrapbooking, Premium Craft Glue.  Premium Craft Glue can be used on all elements of scrapping, from cardstock, paper to flowers and embellishments, such as the buttons.  When applied to any type of paper, there is NO buckling of the paper, it is an absolutely fabulous product, and can be found 'HERE' to purchase in Australia, and 'HERE' if in USA or Canada.

This month you have a chance to win a great prize with the Helmar Challenge, just upload your challenge entry into the Helmar Flickr page before the end of the month.  So get creative and come and join in
