My card front is created with the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 1 die layered over a pretty piece of Distress Ink Paper.  I then added ribbon across the center running under my sentiment.  The a pretty butterfly was added to the lower right corner.

My card was finished off with a pretty bi-color bow made on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using ribbon from the January Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Happy Crafting!

I have lots of layer on this card, but I think it's pretty easy to see from the photo how the layers were assembled.  I just love the Square Frames die for square cards.  

My blue/tan background paper was made using Distress Inks spritzed with water.  My flowers and foliage were created with the Floral Bouquet die set which is such a versatile flower set.  I used some of the same paper from my background for the blue flower petals along with some dark blue and kraft color cardstock.  The layers were also inked with an old script stamp for some additional interest.  The flowers and foliage were cut and then shaped with a stylus and foam pad.  The flowers were layered and finished off with some cool metal gear embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I added a pretty butterfly to the right side of the card to balance things out.

My card was finished off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow made on my Bow-it-All Tool using Ivory and Capri Blue Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I hope my card today inspires you to pull out some of your favorite dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and create your own pretty floral card.  Happy crafting!

I was really in a Spring mood when I was working on Saturday, even though the temperature didn't really support that.  I went with a lavender, pink and white color combination.  Beautiful roses and butterflies are a great addition to any card and I just love this new Dutch Daisy Oval Doily die for Spring themed projects.  

I stamped my beautiful sentiment from Quietfire Design on white card stock and cut that out with one of the XM7 Oval dies.  I wanted to mat that with a purple layer just a little larger and I didn't have a die for that, so I used my Magic Matter tool from Puzzle Mates and traced around it with the 1/8" wheel and fussy cut it out.  Where there's a will, there's a way!

Then I added some Stick It adhesive to the back of a white piece of card stock and cut my Dutch Daisy Oval Doily.  I adhered that to a lavender oval cut with the Oval Classic Stacker and then I added a layer of white mulberry paper.  I wet the edges of the mulberry paper to tear it and leave the fuzzy, feathery edge.  Then I added that to another purple oval.

The dots on the white background were created with the Large Parallel Rectangle Pierce Plate and I just love the texture it gives.  I used one of the pieces from the Dutch Daisy Accents set to fill in some of the white space in the corners of the card.

My roses were made using the Medium Tea Rose die.  I cut the layers, inked them and shaped them with a stylus and then adhered them to create the pretty roses.  

The final touches were the pretty sparkly butterflies and the gorgeous bi-color double loop bow made on my Bow-it-All Tool using Grape and Sherbet Delicate Stitched Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Don't forget, there is still time to enter our current 'Anything Goes' themed challenge for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Cheery Lynn Designs.

Hello there sweet Cheery Lynn friends!

It's Karen here, sharing my "anything goes" challenge car.  Today, marks two years since I became a Cheery Lynn Designs Team Member.  It's very bittersweet posting my last blog entry for this amazing company!  On that note, I thought this sentiment was fitting for expressing my gratitude for all your lovely comments throughout my term here as DT member.  If you happen to follow my blog, I will still be promoting the use of these gorgeous and intricate dies!

I love to layer, so basically, I started with the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker die as my base.  Next, layered the Horizon Fishtail Banner right on top of the French Flair piece.  Then, I  die cut the Pierced Stacker #2 and stamped my sentiment.  I layered this onto the Circle Classic Silver Stacker, 

and then place it onto the Daphne Doily! You will notice that I intentionally left some of the pieces within the doily for a slightly different look.

Then, I made a blue daisy using the Daisy Strip! I die cut the Leafy Flourish and Leaf sets and placed them both underneath my flower. I added a sweet rhinestone flourish as well!  Lastly, I cut out one of the butterflies from my Small Exotic Butterflies set, and added a few shiny pearls.

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends!

Karen here today sharing a bright and cheery graduation card!

I started by creating a 4.5 x 5.5 card base in black card stock.  Then, I layered

some beautiful designer papers to the top.

Next, I used the diploma and cap from the newest Graduation Set (set of 2),

and cut my pieces using black and white cardstock.

Then, I created a beautiful flower using my Gardenia Strip &  Rose Strip

I placed all these pieces onto the Oval Little Stackers Nesting die and then

layered it onto the Pierced Stacker #2 piece.

I die cut the sentiment using the smallest die from the Graduation (set of 2),

placed it onto the card, and then finally added one of the dies

from the Small Exotic Butterflies #1 set!  Lastly, I placed some pearls

onto the butterfly and to the card corners!!

I think it will be a perfect card to give for graduation, along with a nice

gift certificate or some cash tucked away inside just for that special gal!
