Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here and a Happy New Year to you, I hope it's a wonderful year for us all.

Hello It's Debbie back with you today from  Debbie's Time Out . Glad to see you here.


Today I am going for "Clean and Simple" using one of the new dies sets from the last new release. It is the Happy New Year 4 Piece Die Set .



I started with shiny red foil paper for the base then layer white paper on top. I then cut the Fleur De Lis Boutique Stacker A2 Frame  in black velvet paper and layered the Rectangle Stitch and Cut tool   in white.

I cut the Happy New Year 4 Piece Die Set  again in shiny red foil paper so I could layer them onto the black hats to make the hats pop. The star design from the set was layered to the top right corner and another red hat layered to the bottom left corner. The "2017" was cut using the Delicate Lace Script 2 Piece Die Set .
The frame and sentiment in the black velvet paper looks so nice in person and cuts beautifully from the CLD die.

Thanks so much for joining me today and now I would  like to invite you to join our Bi Weekly challenge @http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree . I always enjoy seeing all the beautiful entries.

Hello friends.  Christina from Chrissy Mac Designs here today showcasing the Cheery Lynn Designs Happy New Year 4 Piece Die Set - B851.  That's right...a new die for a new year!


I decided to do a pretty clean and simple card letting the die set elements be the star...no pun intended.  I think this would qualify as a CAS card as the design is quite clean and it was very simple to make.  I thought that this die set had everything I needed to make a fun card and by keeping the design fairly simple, it provided a perfect opportunity to use some unique materials I have been wanting to play with. 

I used two different real wood papers, a printed cork and a heavy glitter paper.  This is a 4.75" x 6.25" size card.  I started with a white card stock base to build on.

I really love this Happy New Year die set.  I could use this die over and over.  After making my cuts to build my base card, I started cutting my layers.  The first layer was cut at the same size of card base in a thin white birch paper by ARC Crafts which I stained on the edges with watercolors, but you could honestly use wood stain, acrylic, distress ink, markers, etc. to do this.  To make the rest of the rectangle cuts, I used the Cheery Lynn Designs rectangle stitch and cut die set.

The second layer was cut out of a printed cork sheet.  The dies cut the wood and the cork with no problem at all.  The next layer was cut out of a heavy glittered cardstock and the final rectangular layer was cut out of a cheery wood paper that was so thick that I was not sure if the die would cut through it.  I am using the Big Sister Die Cut & Emboss machine and because I had control over the pressure I was able to dial in what would cut through the 1/16" to 1/8" real wood paper.  And I went back to the white birch paper layered with a thin crafter's foam and the glitter paper for the cut out of the Happy New Year sentiment and star and streamer embellishments.  I again colored the wood with watercolor layering the two hats cut off of a die cut into the glitter paper and added sparkle gems to the hats and each corner of the cherry wood rectangle.  So that the first layer of stained white birch could peek through the edge, I distressed the cork edge using an exacto knife and letting my finger then allow the cork edge to crumble where cuts were made.  This was easy and fun and a really neat look with the wood papers and cork.
