Merry Christmas Dear Friends from Maggi

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans! First I'm sending wishes that your holidays are merry and bright and filled with love of family, friends and good food! Cheers to you all.!

WOW, there are only a few more days left and I still have gifts to wrap, shopping to do and cookies to bake! But what the heck, I have to take some "me time" out of my schedule to keep my sanity so I put this pretty card together using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs dies and Graphic 45's new Seasons collection.

This is an easel card and they really are simple to make. Now I got a little fancy with the die cut at the top and that does take a little finagling but if you do just a simple square card it's quite easy. Here's a link showing you how to make an easel card. It's not this card, but you can see how the mechanism works.

I used the French Flair Pierce Tool to cut the basic shape of the easel and then a smaller one to fit inside. Next I layered on the green print Quadrafoil Square Doily 2 cut. Next is a brown circle cut using the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames. Behind the pretty Graphic 45 cut-apart is a white piece cut with the Square Frames 3 Piece Die Set. It makes such a pretty frame for the cut-apart!

To make the mechanism inside the card that holds up the easel, I popped up a sticker from the Collection and placed that on a small die cut from the Nesting Doll- Oval #2 set and layered that over a decorative paper strip. I also cut another shape with the French Flair Pierce Tool to place inside the card.

I love how easel cards stand up, they display so prettily! To finish off my card, I made a poinsettia with the Poinsettia Strip 6 Piece Die Set and added a pretty bow.

Christmas Tags with Maggi

We all need quick this time of year and I've got just the project for you! Bonus, it's a project you can have fun making with the kids too. Just die cut a variety of shapes with Cheery Lynn Designs dies, assemble into cute little tags and you've got quick, but oh so cute gift tags that will give your gifts, that extra special something.

On this tag I used two ovals from the Oval Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies 6 Piece Die Set and topped that with a Christmas tree diecut with the Christmas Tree Shaker Die. The "to & from" words were die cut with the To And From Gift Envelope set. Then I punched a hole at the top, added an eyelet and ribbon and it's ready to go. Gift tags need to be quick and easy and this sure fits the bill.

Here's another tag that is built on a white scalloped oval diecut with the Oval Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies. Then I layered on a red Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily, next a blue layer cut with Nesting Doll- Oval #2 5 Piece Die Set and finally topped with Patches The Snowman .

Now this moose is one of my favorites! He's from the Merry Christmoose set. He's layered over patterned paper die cut with the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool and the red cardstock base is die cut with the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames.

Here's a view of the back of each tag. The fun thing about tags is that you can use your scraps. All my scraps are from Graphic 45's Winter Wonderland collection and I was so happy to have a used for all those little pieces of my cherished Graphic 45 papers!

A Fall All Purpose Card by Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

I don't like hot weather so I'm always happy to see summer go. It's fall ya'll! I'm celebrating with this all occasion fall themed easel card. I love using die cut shapes for the easel portion of my card and on this card I used the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool .

Inside that, I used a die from the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames set. It's great how the different Cheery Lynn dies fit together so nicely!

In the center of the card I used the Royal Scandinavian Doily die. The stickers from Authentique's Harvest collection fit perfecly there.

I made a pretty flower with the Shasta Daisy die and fall leaves with the Fall Leaves 8 Piece Die Set.

Inside, I used another leaf from the Fall Leaves 8 Piece Die Set, just to accent the sentiment that also acts as a hold for the easel.

Here's a side view of the card where you can see how the easel works.

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

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

Bee Happy Card!

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

I made this cheerful card for a friend that is a bee lover, I know she's going to love it! It is an easel card made with Graphic 45's French Country DCE, definitely one of my favorite paper collections! I created some pretty layers using Cheery Lynn's Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames and the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool. Then I used the Distressed Honeycomb from the new Cheery Lynn vintage die release. It is the perfect thing for this card!
