I used <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/alisons-ribbons-b335/" target="_blank">Cheery Lynn Designs Alison's Ribbons (B335)</a> dies to cut the lace frame around the card. The delicate cut out is perfect fit for a small size card.<br />

The card is depicting a common scene where butterflies will hover over my daisy (minus the Forget-Me-Not flowers). I don't remember seeing a real Forget-Me-Not plant and these are my take after researching the plant on the internet.<br />

I have attempted to document instructions on how I make some of cards but find them too lengthy and decided video is the best way to explain them. This is my first attempt at making an instructional video and my apology for any unintended mistakes. Please feel free to comment on them as your feedback will help me to improve on future videos.

<br />
I keep it very simple with lots of white space for greeting later as this card can be used for different occasions. I stenciled bluish grey color at the corners to give a touch of color. It would be a great card for a friend who loves fish or fishing...<br />
<br />
Close-up look of the fish. The fish is cut out from metal foil and it reflects the color of the clothing of the audience (LOL I guess you can tell that I was wearing an orange shirt while taking these photos). <br />

It is like baring one's soul and giving love to the world unconditionally just like mothers do. I also found this beautiful poem by Helen Steiner Rice from this website <a href="http://www.indobase.com/holidays/mothers-day/poems/a-mothers-love.html" target="_blank">Indobase Holidays</a> to go with this card.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em><strong>A Mother's Love</strong></em><br />
<em>A Mother's love is something<br /> that no on can explain,<br /> It is made of deep devotion<br /> and of sacrifice and pain,<br /> It is endless and unselfish<br /> and enduring come what may<br /> For nothing can destroy it<br /> or take that love away . . .<br /> It is patient and forgiving<br /> when all others are forsaking,<br /> And it never fails or falters<br /> even though the heart is breaking . . .<br /> It believes beyond believing<br /> when the world around condemns,<br /> And it glows with all the beauty<br /> of the rarest, brightest gems . . .<br /> It is far beyond defining,<br /> it defies all explanation,<br /> And it still remains a secret<br /> like the mysteries of creation . . . <br /> A many splendored miracle<br /> man cannot understand<br /> And another wondrous evidence<br /> of God's tender guiding hand.</em><br />
<br />
This is my card where the front depicts the scene of the April shower. <br />

Leaves started to change to beautiful colors and nice homemade pumpkin pies were available at the farmers market. <br />
<br />
These are the inspiration for my Thank You card.<br />

Instead of framing the photo, I did a bit of fuzzy cutting and applied gesso the photo edge to create a seamless transition between the photo and the chalkboard paper. I used some pencil colors to extend the grass and also the sky.<br />
<br />
This layout is for my line dance teacher who has started line dance as part of her exercise program and subsequently branching into teaching and creating <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/senipadu" target="_blank">Senipadu Youtube channel</a> to allow the students to revise the dances from the class. With each years, she gains more followers from all over the world and also inspires others to dance to a healthier life through her unique dancing style. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The base of this layout is a cork board. On the front, I used one of the paper that has the caption "Bloom" and cut out some of the wordings from another piece to reflects her "journey". I cut out some flowers from cotton cloth using <a href="http://www.sizzix.com/product/656640/sizzix-bigz-die-tattered-florals" target="_blank">Sizzix Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die</a> and painted with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Bluish Green Flowers - <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=107249&c=0" target="_blank">Peacock Feathers,</a> <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=55092&c=0" target="_blank">Tumbled Glass,</a> Red - <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=55098&c=0" target="_blank">Victorian Velvet,</a> <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=32914&c=0" target="_blank">Fired Brick,</a> Yellow - <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=32916&c=0" target="_blank">Mustard Seed,</a> <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=33533&c=0" target="_blank">Spiced Marmalade Orange ,</a> and tints of <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=32922&c=0" target="_blank">Peled Paint).</a> <br />

<br />
I used another paper in the collection to create a chalkboard on the other side. She will be able to capture comments or personal notes as throughout her "dance" journey.<br />
<br />
Hope this provides some ideas on how to use chalkboard pattern. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

To some of you whom I have not met, your amazing works have both motivated and inspired me to go further in my creative endeavour. This is my card to show my gratitude that travels far beyond in the sky and aclock to represent the ending 2013 and wonderful new 2014. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E7r2r8eSGxQ/Usg0NCExjtI/AAAAAAAAAuo/Cu7v4Z91r_M/s1600/Overall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E7r2r8eSGxQ/Usg0NCExjtI/AAAAAAAAAuo/Cu7v4Z91r_M/s400/Overall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
To make this a special card, I have done some researches on gear motion and incorporated the mechanism into this card (as shown in the video).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/A3peWll4V58?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
I used the <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/products/steampunk-spells-category">Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells collection</a> as it has the cheerful and thankful orangey color tone and also gears. To heightened the Steampunk theme, I made some metal foil die cuts for embellishments. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1PDdO6Fmr6s/Usg2KH4aI2I/AAAAAAAAAu0/5iMXYiIM1R8/s1600/Flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1PDdO6Fmr6s/Usg2KH4aI2I/AAAAAAAAAu0/5iMXYiIM1R8/s320/Flowers.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Both flowers and vines are from following Cheery Lynn Designs dies:<br />
- <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/lace-corner-deco-d/">Lace Corner Deco D (B164)</a> (Note: These corner dies are so versatile and can be used various embellishments)<br />
- <a href="http://www.cheerylynndesigns.com/lacey-pumpkin-corner-flourish/">Lacey Pumpkin Corner Flourish (B138)</a><br />
<br />
As for the gears, I needed something that can cut thick chipboard and pulled out my <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-30260/PRE-dsh-ORDER-Tim-Holtz-Sizzix/Detail">Tim Holtz Mini Gears (657211)</a>. <br />

With these photos, the details are clearer especially the sparkles from the "diamonds" and crystals. I also took a night shot of the layout with the lights on.<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
On top of using my beautiful dies to cut the intricate designs, I decided to create a stencil from it. Using one of the beautiful snowflake die and I created a mask for my mixed media application.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sGGDjcu5jio/Ur9Ti4b3HSI/AAAAAAAAAtA/NuC5hx6VcRk/s1600/SnowflakeMask+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sGGDjcu5jio/Ur9Ti4b3HSI/AAAAAAAAAtA/NuC5hx6VcRk/s320/SnowflakeMask+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I applied texture paste to the back and side of the box using the negative cut-out. Below is the completed box.<br />

For this project, I used the pattern paper from <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/new-beginnings/scrapbooking/new-beginnings">Websters Pages New Beginnings collection</a>. Love the soft colour of this collection.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These cuties are sitting at the counter enjoying some sweet treats. Behind them is the wall stacked with jars of assorted flavoured candies. The stool tops are covered with felt flowers cut from Cheery Lynn Design roses dies. </div>
