Classic Christmas with Laurie Schmidt

Hi everyone, Laurie here from Stamping Up North.

This fun classic vintage car reminded me of when I was a kid and our family packed up and headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas. SO... I decided to create a Christmas scene with it for my siblings!

We actually did put luggage and presents on top of our car...but in a luggage rack. There were 4 kids, one large black lab and our parents, so we all barely fit inside! Since I was the youngest, I sat in the front, in the middle. That was the worst...with a hump on the floor, and very little room to get comfortable at all. It was a 3 hour drive! BUT those are some of the best memories I have..the trips of us all together in that car!

First I cut out the car and presents:

Cheery Lynn Designs - Classic Car Die Set - 13 Die Set - B944

Cheery Lynn Designs - Deco Christmas Tree - 5 Piece - B915

Then I adhered them onto a blue circle, and added some holly from the Christmas Wreath set:

Cheery Lynn Designs - Christmas Wreath 6 Piece Die Set - B839

Cheery Lynn Designs - Circle Pierce and Cut tool - LG Silver Pierce tool 6 Piece Die Set - LPC4

After I stamped the sentiment, I added some flecks of snow with white paint and a toothbrush.

Here's a list of the dies I used:

Happy Christmas Camper with Laurie Schmidt

Laurie here from Stamping Up North.

I'm sharing a Christmas card today! When I first saw this Happy Camper set from the retro release, I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas scene and put the tree from the Bringing Home Christmas set on top.

I made a hill by cutting a circle in half,

and added some clouds.

Then I decorated the camper with some holly from the Christmas Wreath set.

I added my sentiment, " Home for the holidays" and an enamel heart. This was such a fun card to make!

Special Day with Laurie Schmidt

Hi everyone!

Laurie here from Stamping Up North sharing a wedding card today. I have a thing for purple lately, and just love how pretty and fresh it looks with white. So...I decided to use this combo for a wedding card.

I started out with the beautiful Fiona's Magic Mirror.

I think it's such an elegant die, and it gave a perfect background space for my triple layer wedding cake and stamped sentiment.

I decorated the cake with some tiny flowers from the Mandy Doily, and the bow from the Christmas Wreath:

"Peeking Penguin Pal" with Laurie Schmidt

laurie 3:00 AM 0 Comments

Look who's peeking in your window......

It's one of the Penguin Pals!

He's looking pretty cute wearing his Santa hat while looking through the beautiful arched window. I think he wants to come inside and warm up...LOL!

The window A die makes a cut into the paper, so you can see right through to the inside. (Just think of all the possibilities with this die.) That's where I adhered the Penguin Pal and a couple of trees.

I decided to decorate the window with a bow and tiny holly from the Christmas Wreath set. Then I added an enamel dot and stamped the sentiment on the bottom.

Here's a list of the Cheery Lynn dies I used:

Penguin Pal Trio with Laurie Schmidt

laurie 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone!

Laurie here from Stamping Up North with a cheerful Christmas card to share today. I'm still busy making cards with dies from the new release...they are all so cute I just can't stop!

This card features the Penguin Pals, which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. They are so adorable, and I love cutting them out and dressing them in different colored hats and scarves. Here I made a matching penguin trio all dressed in blue plaid. The only extra thing I added was the bow from the Christmas Wreath set.

The white trees are also new, from the Classic Christmas Tree set. I adhered 2 behind the penguins. Cheery Lynn came out with 4 new Christmas tree sets....each so fun and different. You can check them out here.

The scene is set on a white hill which I made by cutting a pierced circle in half. I also added some glitter enamel dots and a sentiment.

Here's a list of the dies I used for this card:

Hi Cheery Lynn fans!

Laurie here with a Christmas card I made using some of the dies from Cheery Lynn's new Fall/Winter release. The new dies are AWESOME! I'm a big fan of holiday dies, and this release is full of cute images like Brad the Reindeer.

I decided to make him VERY festive and added the hat and glasses from the Men's die set. A bit of holly from the Christmas Wreath set, and a cute lil' bow from the Merry Christmas Gift Envelope set and he's ready to celebrate the holidays. I love the expression on his face!

The snowflake border is also new, I cut it out in bright red and adhered it to the side of the card. I have been using this border tons already...it's SO easy to cut and looks great on many styles of cards. It's very elegant cut out in silver and gold.

Here's a list of the dies I used:

Wedding Cheers from Laurie Schmidt

laurie 12:30 AM 1 Comments

Laurie here from Stamping Up North sharing a wedding card with you today. I love going to weddings! My favorite part is the reception and listening to all of the toasts. Some are so funny, and some of course are real tear jerkers! Either way, they are always fun and so special.

I decided to use the glasses from the Celebration die set on my "Cheers" wedding card. (The set also comes with an awesome wine bottle too.) I added some tiny flowers from the Mandy Doily die, and the tiny fanciful flourish to decorate the glass stems. The cake set has 6 pieces, and is very versatile....it can be used for birthdays or any occasion. I added a bow from the Christmas Wreath set to decorate the cake. I backed it all on a nesting doll oval, adhering some pearls here and there.

Then I added "Cheers!"

Cheery Lynn Happy 4th of July Cupcake by Laurie Schmidt

laurie 12:30 AM 1 Comments

Laurie here from Stamping Up North sharing a 4th of July card with you today featuring Cheery Lynn's sweet cupcake die.

Cupcakes have been so popular the last few years, the flavors and designs are endless. I love going to our hometown cupcake store and picking some out for special occasions. It's always so hard to choose! I was inspired by some cute red ,white and blue cupcake liners to make this 4th of July cupcake for my card.

I added a bow from the Christmas Wreath set.and some little pierced stars for decorations. I love the swirl design on the cupcake icing, and thought about doing some inlaying. Instead I kept it all red so the stars would really show. I backed it on a pierced circle, and added a few more stars and an enamel dot in the center of the bow. I didn't add a sentiment, as there was already one on the designer paper.

I had so much fun with this card, that I made a bunch more...birthday cupcakes, Christmas cupcakes, and some Halloween. I'm putting together a set and hope to share them soon!

Here's a list of the dies I used:

'Twas the Night Before' by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing with you my Festive Scene. I love how Cheery Lynn's dies can make so many wonderful scenes on your cards/ scrapbook pages. On my card you will see how I have adapted my Holly Wreath die and used elements from other dies to create this. So let me take you through all the techniques on it.

My card measures 5" x 7", I tattered a couple of layers of paper and glued in place. My Garland has been made from the Christmas Wreath by cutting it into sections. I coloured my die cut with Copic Pens adding Glossy Accents onto my Mistletoe.

My berries on the Garland were made from Red Stickles glue, once dry I added a drop of Glossy Accents to form the shape of berries. The bells were coloured with a gold pen and shaded at the sides with Archival ink.

Santa was also coloured with Copics, dabbing some Stickles onto his hat to make it Sparkle. His beard, eyebrows and hat I added Snowtex and some Glamour Dust too. I mounted him onto my Stacker die to frame him on the wall.

My tree has also been coloured with Copics adding Stickles onto the baubles and once dry a layer of Glossy accents for a domed effect.

I just adore this fireplace and had a lot of fun building it up. I die cut out the fireplace 3 times layering on with foam strips for dimension, adding an extra layer onto the mantle. I outlined the brick embossed areas with a Fineliner Pen and added a different shade of paper to the back of the fire. I shaded my logs with Distress inks and drop shadowed with grey cardstock, adding in place with Silicone Glue. My flames are coloured with Copics and a layer of Glossy Accents, off setting a few layers for a natural look.

The Fireplace die also comes with the picture frames, candles and stockings. On this card I used the Christmas Stockings and Parcels from the Whimsical Set adding Candy Canes onto my Stockings for extra detail. You will find these in the Build A Christmas Tree die set listed below.

Christmas Crafting Inspiration with Cheery Lynn Designs

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi friends. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft to share a beautiful Christmas card featuring one of my favorite dies from the July Cheery Lynn Designs release. I'm kicking off a week full of Christmas ideas, so let's get started.

It's mid-October, so you know what that means....
Time to get those Christmas cards and projects going so you are not scrambling last minute (like last year, right??). This week the Design Team from Cheery Lynn Designs is going to showcase all of their favorite Christmas themed dies to get you motivated to get started with your own projects. Head on over to Cheery Lynn Designs and take a look at the Christmas section to see all the fabulous dies that are available.

This card showcases the beautiful Christmas Wreath die set.

My card is a 5-1/2" square card and I do have several layers including a pretty white mulberry paper layer at the bottom. The inner white square that I placed the wreath on measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". That is layered on red and I trimmed a small border. Below that you can see the Square Frame die in green which is mounted on a 4-1/8" square of white cardstock.

I cut the wreath in emerald, dark green, and gold cardstock and then layered them all for added dimension. I then cut some berries from red cardstock and added them throughout the wreath. I topped it off with a pretty gold jingle bell and bow. The corners are adorned with holly in red and green.

2016 Fall & Winter Holiday Release - Part I Winter & Christmas with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 20 Comments

Hi friends, it's Jenny here today! I'm sharing a Christmas card showcasing two new dies from Cheery Lynn's New Fall and Winter Release. Be sure to join us every day on the Cheery Lynn BLOG from July 22nd to August 3rd to see all the wonderful July Holiday new release dies. One random commenter during the promotion will win a $20 gift certificate so comment each day for the best chance to win.

For this card I cut two Christmas Wreaths out of white card stock. I colored it green with a sponge makeup applicator and distress ink. I used red stickles to create berries. Once the glitter glue dried I molded the leaves with a stylus tool. The bow was also cut twice and molded the same way. The bells were covered in gold embossing powder and then I drew a glitter line along the accent on each bell.

I glued the two wreath layers down to a card face cut using the Royal Scandinavian A2 Card Facer. The bells were adhered with foam adhesive and I glued in the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Winter Holiday Word Set. The back of the card facer was layered with a green rectangle and then an A2 sized rectangle behind so the interior of the card is nicely finished.
