Birthday Wishes by Jenny Alia

Hi friends! It's Jenny here today sharing a birthday card. Blue is one of my favorite colors and I thought I'd even match the Chrysanthemums. The patterned card stock is double sided so I played around turning elements over to get the patterns to look best. I really liked how the Chrysanthemums look cut from the matching patterned paper. This is a small flower die set but it's a perfect size for cards and packs a big punch.

I used the Birthday Wishes Circle and cut a circle from the Circle Stitch and Cut Tool to add behind. I really like the extra detailing the stitching adds on the circle. The two larger Pierced Banners were cut using coordinating paper from the same pack.

Dream by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello, it's Jenny here from Jen's Paper Obsession hosting the blog today. I'm sharing a card I made that has a window in the front. I was planning a shaker card but with everything going on inside the window I decided to keep it simpler. It does have a raised plastic window though.

I cut a circle in the piece of designer paper and sandwiched the plastic between that circle and a piece of thin chipboard in which I cut a smaller circle. I also cut the Dream word out of the same chipboard before painting it with some new sparks paint. The mushrooms were backed with white paper and I cut the read tops and mounted them on mushrooms cut out of white. I added all my elements and adhered the layers together with a strong double sided tape.

Hello by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a clean and simple card I created using dies from the January Cheery Lynn release. I just love these new Indie Bouquet flowers with the cut-out details. I only used two of the dies but there are many more varieties included with the die. These flowers can become lacy if layered and alternately look really bold backed with another color.

I left the flowers simple but embellished them with a glitter pen and rhinestone centers. I also stacked the Hello die from the Bohemian Word Die Set. I cut it three times in the same colors I used for the flowers. Each time I added a layer I liked the effect more. It also popped up the word almost as high as the Circle Stitch and cut tool which was adhered with foam tape for added interest and dimension.

Birthday Wishes with Lisa Blastick

Hello! Today I'm sharing a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs! It seems like a while since a made anything new...I've been on a mini album trend lately. I was thinking about making a card since I knew my post was on the first of the month....as the weekend went by I realized OMG! It is Wednesday! I forgot it was a shorter month? Where does the time go...March already!

So, as I was scrambling today...yes, Tuesday evening after work....lol, I was able to think quick birthday card....now who doesn't have that come up quick? I used the new release "mandala doily 2" It's so detailed and of course beautiful like so many Cheery Lynn Die Cuts. I also used "floral bouquet kit" flowers and leaves...I really love this die cut set. There are so many things to die cut out. I added some Gala Glitz in silver in the centers. On the top and bottom, I used curved border set.

The sentiment was stamped with purple ink on one of my favorite "stitched circles" There are pop dots behind the circle and the doily. You can't see the embossed "old brick" on the first to pictures...sorry about that...but on the close up here you can see it better. Yay!

Blue & Gold by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi crafty friends! It's Jenny here today sharing a centerpiece project I made using Cheery Lynn dies. All of my school-aged children are in scouting and the big cub scout anniversary dinner blue & gold is typically held around February in our pack. I am helping out this year by creating centerpieces.

The theme of this year's dinner is Western and I thought the new Mandela Doily die looked similar to designs I've seen on bandanas. These centerpieces are essentially card toppers or simple lollipop cards. I taped skewers to the backs of each and then finished the backs by gluing another piece of card stock, sandwiching the skewer in the middle. I added sand to the bottoms of mason jars so the skewers would stay positioned in the direction I wanted.

Before assembling, I used a makeup sponge and distress ink to age the edges with a little ink. The distressing helped tie the blue and gold colors with the western theme. After I adhered the skewers to the stars, I thought they'd be great done in pink for a girl's birthday and could double as wands.

The Stockings With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! Today, Im sharing another fun holiday card with

Cheery Lynn Designs

I love the adorable "stocking with presents" I thought about adding some extra colors on the presents but then I kept the whole card with creams, whites and of course my favorite color RED!

The beautiful "horizon circles" are so delicate and have such an elegant edge so I wanted to use them today with the center of "circle stitch" It's a perfect match in the center.

I stamped the Verve sentiment in black on the middle sized "horizon circle" Added some liquid appliqué for the snow/fluff throughout the stocking. Lastly, a bit of bling...I can't help myself! LOL

Baking Holiday Treats with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi and welcome back to another fun Holiday card for Cheery Lynn Designs! I was inspired this week to make a cookie card because I'm planning to go to my annual cookie party next weekend! So much fun to see friends that we only get together this time of the year. So this card is all about COOKIES!

The chocolate chip cookies were made using the smallest "circle stitch" and then I used my hole punch in brown for the chips. The gingerbread man is part of the "gingerbread family" that I just colored the tips of the hands and feet with a white marker.

Love the "french doily" - it is a must have in your collection as well as the "horizon fishtail banners".

Here you can see I added a bit of snow to the Santa hat with some cute wiggly eyes.

A few pearls along a few edges and this card is ready to be eaten! Just Kidding! LOL

You're Super by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today with another superhero card. I used some of the same dies and image from my last card, but switched up a few things. I began by layering design papers with red, white and blue card stock. I stamped and colored the Kraftin' Kimmie image with copics before cutting it out with the Circle Stitch and Cut die. The stitching adds such great detail.

I popped up the background from the Action Words die and added letters from the Varsity 3/4" Tall Uppercase Alphabet. I also adhered the Pennant with foam adhesive for extra dimension. To add the blue to the center of the pennant, I cut the edges off a second pennant. I really liked the contrast of adding another layer to the pennant. Last, I added a few adhesive gems to the pennant for sparkle.

You're Super! by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here this morning. I wanted to try something different and use these really cute new words. I began by stamping and coloring an image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. My son handed me the paper and I thought it was my usual card stock but I think it was coated because my alcohol markers seemed to slide on the surface. It cut beautifully with the Circle Stitch and Cut Tool die though.

I cut the Action Words background with a red patterned paper and the Pow and Bang words with a navy blue card stock. I cut the Pierced Banner die with the same blue card stock and then stamped and cut the sentiment out of white paper. The blue patterned paper was cut with the Square Stitch Nesting Set. This die set doesn't cut the surrounding square which gives you a lot of versatility because you can add multiple lines of stitching on your projects.

Tropical Christmas with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny hosting the blog today with a card inspired by this week's challenge theme, Non-Traditional Christmas Colors and the song Mele Kalikimaka. I thought some of the new travel dies from the latest release would be perfect for a tropical themed Christmas card. I made a shaker card using the Circle Stitch & Cut Tool set. I cut a large circle and then cut out the center using a smaller die from the Circle Stitch & Cut Tool set to create the ring. A piece of plastic toy packaging was then glued to the back of the ring.

The palm tree and surfboard are from the newly released Surf's Up die set. They are hidden but I also added a couple of the grass clumps set on the ground. To finish off the scene I added a small stitched circle for the sun. I then sprinkled iridescent fake snow on top of the little scene and trapped the snow by putting a layer of double sided foam adhesive all around the ring.

I hope you like the result. I love making little scenes on cards and with the bright colors this was a fun one to create.

Trick or Treat by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Good Morning crafty friends! Jenny here today. I still seem to be making mostly fall cards. I can't get enough of these new Cheery Lynn Halloween dies. They are so incredibly detailed and unique.

I started with a 5.5" black card base. The design paper is 1/8 inch smaller on all sides. I stacked three circles to back the Trick or Treat die focal point. The largestest cirlce is a Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames die and the others are from the new Circle Stitch and Cut Tool dies. I had originally planned the Witch Hat to take center stage but the sentiment seemed to work better. Trick or Treat was cut twice and I offset the black die cut to make a shadow behind the yellow one. I paper pieced the buckle into the witches hat which is the same light purple design paper from the smallest circle. The yellow is actually glued in behind the hat and was colored with a shiny gold paint for some extra pizazz.

I cut two spiderwebs from the Spider Net die out of purple card stock and adhered them to the right side of the card. The little matching spider was cut with black and I added a piece of yellow behind for his eyes. He was popped up with foam tape.

The flowers were made using my most used flower dies - the Gardenia Strip and Small Gardenia dies. These flowers always come out perfectly with little work on my part. I used a stylus tool to mold the edges of the flower petals before I stacked and glued them together. I glued purple rhinestones to the centers.

The purple leaves tucked in between the gardenias are from Crafty Ann which Cheery Lynn now carries and and are called Flourish #13.

Gingerbread Christmas with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, Jenny here today with a Christmas card in July. It's 90 degrees in NY today but I wanted to play with this adorable Gingerbread Family die!

The card base is a green A2 card. I cut a piece of patterned card stock slightly smaller to layer on top. Then I cut three gingerbread people out of a creamy gray paper. I glued white card stock to the backs so the eyes and buttons would look like they were made with white icing. A little distress ink was sponged around the edges and I added red pearls for buttons and the center of the bow.

The circle was cut with the new Circle Stitch & Cut Tool. Merry Christmas is a Crafty Ann die, I just love this vintage font! Cheery Lynn is now carrying all the Crafty Ann dies. You can see them all HERE. Last I added the snowflake from the Snowflake Set 2 and glued a sparkly silver embellishment to the center.
