Dream Forever by Julie Lavalette

Hello Cheery Lynn Fans, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog and I am delighted to be sharing some more inspiration from our new Bohemian Collection on my Dream Forever card.

Have you noticed on Cheery Lynn's Stacker Dies you can get Stitched and Pierced details at the edges of these Dies or just left plain. I love all these extra touches of detail and when I looked at the details on my Mandala Doily, Cowboy Boots and Dreamweaver Dies I noticed all the Pierced details so I knew I wanted to use one of the sets of Pierced Stackers. I chose the Coved Rectangles and added an accent from the outer edge of my Mandala Doily at the edges.

My Cowboy Boots were cut out of Kraft Cardstock highlighting all the embossed detail with a Fineliner Pen and a little ink to age them. I layered the swirls and buckles on twice and added a brad onto the boot. Aren't they so cool !

I cut my Mandala Doily out of Kraft Cardstock and paper from Maja Design, layering it on top for contrast. Next I cut out the centre and added my Dreamweaver Die which had also been layered twice. I extended the tassels on my Dreamweaver and hid the joins with my pretty flowers.

I offset the feathers to look as if they are blowing in the wind and added some small feathers that I pulled out of a feather pillow for added texture.

I finished with lots of pearls and a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you manage to get some creative time this week.

Crafty Hugs,

Julie x

Texas Rose by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card inspired by this week's challenge Handmade Flowers and the state dies from the new North American Release. This card began as a Cowboys football card but I can't seem to make a card without flowers, so I added some yellow roses and went another way. My 11 year old recognized the Cowboys star and colors and seemed a bit annoyed that I'd make a card that celebrated a team other than his favorite.

It might be difficult to see but the large blue square was cut with the Square Pierce & Cut Tool die so that the pierced edge matches the edge of the blue Pierced Star. I then layered a piece of white card stock that I distressed with a tool and distress ink. The wood grain is a piece of design paper from Prima.

Most of the die cuts were colored with distress ink. The Tea Roses were cut with a light yellow card stock, sprayed with glitter spray, and aged with a little brown distress ink on the edges. The white rose centers and the babies breath flowers are from the Embellishments #2 set. The boots from the Arizona Cowboy set were glued to brown card stock and then cut out so that the detail would stand out. I just love these boots, the detail is amazing.

Howdy by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a card using this adorable Clarabell the Cow from the new release. If you missed yesterday's post scroll down and you can see all the new Cheery Lynn July release dies HERE. My card was inspired by the current White-on-White Challenge.

I used a cream colored 5.5" card base and layered the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker on top cut out of a shimmery card stock. Then I layered an English Tea Party Doily die cut, cut with bright white card stock on top of that. The center of the doily was cut out with the second smallest of the Silver Stacker Circle dies. Clarabell the Cow was cut with a piece of the base card stock and the Howdy was cut again in white and paper pieced inside for contrast. I also replaced Clarabell's eyebrows with white ones.

The flowers were made using a molding mat, stylus tool and the Tea Rose Medium die. I used a shimmery darker cream card stock for the flowers. The leaves are from the Branches die. Last I thought Clarabell needed a little flair so she's wearing the hat from the Arizona Cowboy die set.
