Summer Floral Birthday Card with Bonnie Garby

Hi Cheery Lynn fans. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a bright and pretty floral birthday card I created with the lovely Cherry Blossom die from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I'm so ready from summer right now and there's nothing like a red, white and blue color palette to scream summer. This color scheme works really well with the Cherry Blossom die, so I went with it.

Cheery Lynn Dies uses:

B775 Cherry Blossom

FRM153 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 1

DL303 Pierced Banners

LPC7 Oval Pierce & Cut Tool Lge Silver

XL7 Oval Classic Lge Stacker

I cut the Cherry Blossom die in green, red and pink Distress ink paper. I used the green as my base and then fussy cut the flowers in red and then the flower centers in pink and layered them to create the flower for the center medallion. The background was created with the pretty Quatrefoil A2 frame 1 die which I also adore.

My card is finished off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using ribbon from the Patriotic themed May Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The center of the bow is adorned with a star shaped pearl embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Hello Friend by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

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.

My flowers were all inked in the centres with Archival ink adding Stamens into the centres, placing the arrangement onto my card.

Earth Laughs in Flowers Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Good morning lovely fans.
Today it's my turn again on this amazing blog and I would like to share a flower shaker card. Although my fellow DT ladies are all into the Fall/ Halloween/Christmas cards I will show you a different type of card as I am still in summer mood lol. Here in The Netherlands we are enjoying some nice late summer temperatures this week we are going to hit 20 degrees. Oh that feels so good as do not love winter at all!

Earth Laughs in Flowers:

This card was made with Maja Design papers from the Vintage Summer Basics collection since I had some leftovers from the layout I made this week. I think it is really easy to use your scraps for cards as I tend to do most of the time.

The shaker is filled with some dress my craft sequins and some mica flakes {amazing stuff}
The centers of my card are made with some foam balls that I dipped into some prills. At the end I added some white spray and a word strip.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
K111 - Flourishing Flower Shaker Set
FRM144 - Chicken Wire Frame
C184 - Judys Blooms
B129 - Cherry Blossom

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies. You could also visit my blog at Amy's Pretty Papers for more inspiration.
Have a wonderful day!

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, its JULIE here today and I'm sharing some more inspiration using the fabulous new Vintage Dies.

My card has lots of layers using coordinating papers from Pion Design. I started by Die cutting my layers and adding Gilding Wax around the edges. This was to compliment my Gilded Birdcage and to give an opulent feel to my card.

You will also notice my diecut corners have had Gilding Wax rubbed all over them.

The corner of my paper was placed into my Die and cut to give a curved edge and I fussy cut around the bird and foliage, mounting in place with some Silicone Glue and a touch of Cheesecloth.

My centre layers I layered in place with foam tape for added dimension, adding some sweet birds onto my Birdcage for extra detail.

Finishing with a pretty Floral bouquet, some die cut feathers and bling.

Wishing you a lovely week.

Happy Crafting,

Julie x

Tiny Summer Spirit Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.
Today I am sharing a tiny card with you and this one was so much fun to make. For this card I used the pretty new "Cottage Life"collection by 49 and Market and some of my new favorite Cheery Lynn Designs dies....let's have a look:

Summer Spirit:

I really love that honeycomb die and hopefully there will be more of those in the future not the same but with other shapes so we can use them as backgrounds for our cards or layouts. I just left some of the cut outs in it but I lifted it with some foam tape. Sorry for not having really sharp detailed pictures but my camera was really acting up sadly.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
D138 - Mini Butterflies with Angelwings
B129 - Cherry Blossom
B887 - Distressed Honeycomb
B890 - Weathered Scrolls

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies. Please visit my blog for a chance to win two different prizes Amy's Pretty Papers you still have today to enter.
Have a wonderful and sunny sunday!

Baby Card with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Graphic 45's Precious Memories collection is so perfect for making baby cards along with Cheery Lynn's Baby Pram die. Take a look at that sweet Baby Pram, isn't that just the most perfect die for a baby card? It's part of the new vintage die release from Cheery Lynn Designs. I've layered it over the Distressed Honeycomb die, which is also part of the vintage release.

This is a step card, here you can see how it stands on its own. I made cherry blossoms to gussy up my card. They are easy to make, just a couple layers and a pearl center. Ink the edges and center to make the flowers more realistic.

I stamped a sentiment onto the Pierced Stacker . I also used the Pierced Stacker in a larger size behind the pram diecut.

When I make step cards I always like to have my diecuts extending beyond the card's edge. I used the Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stackers to cut a large frame and layered that at the bottom allowing it to extend over the top of the card.

Cheery Lynn Designs Die Used:

Pierced Stacker 2 6 Piece Die Set - XL20

B898 Baby Pram - 1 Piece Die Set

B887 Distressed Honeycomb - 1 Piece Die Set

Ivy Corner Flourish Die - B315

Basket for Mom

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Well this should have been an Easter basket but I'm a day late and a dollar short as they say, so I turned it into a Mother's Day basket filled with my Mom's favorite chocolates! She'll love it!

To start my design, I used Coved Rectangle Stitch Nesting Set - SM Silver Stitch Nesting Set 6 Piece Die Set - MS10 to cut panels for the front and back of the basket. I just cut rectangles for the side panels and used a corner chomper to memic the coved corner on the front panels. Then I added Border #7 Die - CABRD7 in the center. I cut a little tag with the smallest of the Horizon Fishtail Banners 3 Piece Die Set - DL278 and stamped a simple greeting.

I used several different flower dies (listed below) to make the flowers that embellish the front and back panels. I always like to tuck in a few leaves to my floral clusters and one of my favorite dies for making leaves is Flourish Leaf Strip 5 Piece Die Set - B178.

The handle is "gussied up" with more flowers, a seam binding ribblon and beautiful flourishes cut with Flourish #1 Die - CAFLRS1.

On this side view you can really see how pretty that leafy flourish looks cascading down the side. The papers I used are from Graphic 45's DCE Once Upon a Springtime. The pinks and greens are perfect for this springy Mom's Day project don't you think?

That's it for me today! What are you making for your Mom for Mother's Day?

A Mother's Day card with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Here's a pretty card for Mom with a hidden greeting that you could change for any occasion. There's a tag hidden under the image that pulls out. You can see the hidden tag in the next photo. I've use some Maja Designs paper with bright white cardstock.

I used a couple of layers of Maja Designs Enjoying the Outdoors paper along with the bright white cardstock. The striped background layer was cut with French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool . Then I cut a layer with Quadrafoil Square Doily 2 Piece Die Set and tucked it in the top left corner. Over the top of that, I layered an image from the design paper. The little tag that I stamped my sentiment on is also from the design papers.

I used Cherry Blossom 2 Piece Die Set to make the flowers. I just shaped them a little bit and stacked two layers together and topped with some fun pink bling.

I used Flourish #1 Die underneath the flowers to give the appearance of a vine winding its way up the side.

Hello Greeting Card by Ginny Nemchak

Ginny @ Polly's Paper Studio 3:00 AM 0 Comments

Hey there Peeps! Ginny here dropping in to share a sweet little greeting card. I'm embracing a CAS style with graphic colors and dimensional flowers. This is an A2 sized card cut from black cardstock with coral and white layered on top.

I created a texture for the background by cutting several sets of Flowers in white and adhering them to a white background. Then I inset another layer of just white bordered with the coral and black. This gave me a solid base to attach the Flourish and Cherry Blossom Flowers.

This simple Hello sentiment makes this card perfect for any occasion.

Okay these Cherry Blossom flowers are making me all kinds of happy. Once cut they were shaped and stacked and topped off with the leftover pieces from the background and a sweet little gray pearl. This is a small bow for me..but it's perfectly suited to finish off this card : )
