Hello Friends!  Kathy Clement here with my final guest design project for Cheery Lynn.  I have had such a good time playing with these wonderful dies this month, and thank you all making me feel so welcome.

I have always wanted to make a step card, and have watched a ton of online videos to learn how to do so.  But it was so much measuring and cutting and folding.  So, when I found a die that would cut and score my paper for me in one simple pass through my die cutting machine you can guess how fast the Step Card Bundle Set made its way into my shopping basket!



You can use the die to cut center step cards or side step cards.  I chose to make this cute side step design.  I used heavy kraft cardstock for the base, and it cut and scored it beautifully!  The Step Card Bundle comes with a bunch of cute flower blossom and leaf dies.  These were used to decorate the card.  My tiny plaid tags are made with the Tags 1 set.  I also used the Wheat Head die  on this card.

Once again, I used Carta Bella Fall Blessings paper collection to make this card.  My bows are brown micro gingham and natural burlap string. I love the way this card stands up for display.  I think I might just have to add it to my fall mantelpiece.

Thanks again for inviting me to play with beautiful Cheery Lynn Designs dies!  I've had the BEST time!

Cheerio,
kathy

Hello, Friends!

Kathy Clement here with another guest designer project for Cheery Lynn. I am having so much fun playing with my Cheery Lynn dies!  Today I have another colorful fall card to share with you featuring Fall Leaves, the Garden Gate and Chrysanthemum Strip Die.


The Chrysanthemum Strip die is a joy to work with!  I love how quick and easy it is to die cut loads of pretty flower layers.  I die cut these from Carta Bella's Fall Blessing paper collection, then shaped and layered them, adding a gem to the center of each blossom.

The garden fence was die cut from Tim Holtz woodgrain watercolor paper.  I love the wonderful texture this added to the die cut.  To give the fence an aged appearance, I blended a little Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo Distress Ink randomly onto the surface, then spritzed with water.

I hope you found some inspiration in this project.  It's wonderful to work with dies that cut so easily and make such pretty embellishments!

Thanks for joining me!
Cheerio,
kathy

Hello, Friends!  It's Kathy Clement here, and I'm very excited to be the October Guest Designer at Cheery Lynn!  I'm so impressed with the detail and quality of these beautiful dies, and had a wonderful time putting together this Fall Pumpkin Patch Card to share with you here today.


This is a 5x7 Gate Fold Card made with Graphic 45's Time to Flourish paper collection.  The Pumpkin Patch Die looks amazing when die cut with patterned paper.  I topped the pumpkins with a little "frost" (Stickles Frosted Lace) and then nestled them amid some gorgeous mums made with the Chrysanthemum Strip Die.  I love the color contrast!


I love how easily intricate dies, like this Ornament 1 Doily, cut through cardstock like buttah!



Here's a peek at the inside.


I added more pretty pumpkins and flourishes on the inside of the card. 
Thanks so much for joining me today.  I'm off to play with more of these fabulous Cheery Lynn dies!

Hello, again!  It's Kathy Clement with a romantic card celebrating the last roses of summer.

I created a bower of beautiful roses by die cutting Prima Stationer's Desk papers with both the Large Rose and Medium Rose Strip Die.




I wanted to add some lovely green foliage to my roses, and the Fall Leaves Dies were the perfect pairing.

I added some lovely texture and dimension to the background paper by cutting a doily from the patterned paper.

The best thing about these roses is that they will bloom all winter long!

Thanks so much for letting me stop by and visit again!

Cheerio,
kathy
