Sandy here with you today filling in for Eva.  I wanted to play with my new Stitch and Cut dies and it paired beautifully with my new Square Frames.  I began with a white card stock base, 5 7/8 inches.  I cut the largest of my Square Stitch and Cut die from white card stock, mounted it onto blue and then trimmed a very small edge.  Next came the largest die in the Square Frames set from white card stock.  Love all the swirls on this die set.  Using the middle die from this set, I die cut it from blue.  To make the center white panel, I used the center die from my Royal Scandinavian Doily set.  I love how you can mix and match all the Cheery Lynn dies.

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends!  It's Karen here sharing my shaped 

Thanksgiving card with you today!

First, I started by using the L12 French Flair Classic Silver Stacker

 as the frame for the card.

Then, I took the B254 Mesh Border, and ran it through 

the die cut machine (only 1 time).  By doing this, it retained the little tiny pieces 

that typically fall out when you die cut.  After, I cut the border, I placed the same French Flair Stacker right on top of it to create this border that would lie right on top 

of the designer paper card frame piece!

Next, I layered B599 Tom the Turkey, XL21 Pierced Stacker #3, 

and the L4 Classic Circle Silver Stacker dies.  

Using the CARA26 God Bless sentiment, 

I die cut and then placed it onto the turkey!

Lastly, I made three flowers using the B307 Sweet William Strip and

  B241 Rose Leaf Strip.   Then, I added some shiny brads 

for the center of the flowers!

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a Faux Iris Fold Easter greeting! In Iris Folding you generally start with the negative of a cutout shape...so in the case of my egg, you would have had an egg frame or an egg cut out of a rectangle. You would build your strips from the outside to the inner space. There are lots of tutorials on the internet, simply google Iris Folding.
For my project I did a reverse iris folding technique. I began by cutting paper into 1" strips and folding them on the half-inch line. I cut out the egg shape with my Nesting Eggs Die. I then glued down a square middle-ish to the egg. I then started on two edges of the square and glued down my folded strips alternating sides as I went. When I had covered the entire egg, I trimmed it around the shape and mounted it on a larger nested egg.
To complete my card, I layered the egg between a picket fence and some grass. A bunny and the happy Easter sentiment completed my card.

Sandy here with you today, Leslierahye is having technical difficulties.  Our challenge theme this week is Celebrate and since it is St. Patrick's Day, I thought I would join in the fun.  Using my French Flair Stackers, I created a white easel card.  Using green card stock, I added a Horizon French Flair Boutique layer to both the front and the base of the card.  Next came a DP panel, cut with a coordinating Silver French Flair Stacker.  Using green card stock again, I cut a Horizon Circle Boutique layer and another DP panel using a coordinating Silver Circle Stacker.  This was the perfect backdrop for this fun Leprechaun from Karen's Doodles. To create the panel across the center of the base, I used my Horizon Rectangle Boutique die.

For my flowers I used Tea Rose Small, Tea Rose Medium and Sweet Christine flower strips.  I die cut one strip of each.  Using a black Micron pen, I added some veins to the petals and then added green Distress ink.  Using a stylus and an embossing mat, I added some shape to the flowers.  Then I stacked the Tea Rose medium and small to create the larger flowers turning them so the petals do not line up.  The single blooms are the Sweet Christine petals.  I added some green Stickles to the centers of the flowers.  The leaves are part of the tea rose dies. 

Lastly, I added Celebrate to the center panel on the base.  Finished size is 5 5/8 inches square.  Be sure to check out this week's Celebrate challenge for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs. 

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a Lucky Bird Greeting! I created this St. Patrick's Day card with the A2 Frames and the Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker Frame. The various layers of cardstock were cut with the frames. The piece of paper-backed canvas was also cut using the stacker die. I placed it so that it cut through the canvas first and through to the paper. I ran the canvas through my Vagabond twice and the piece of cut canvas came out simply.
For the greeting I layered a small rectangle frame with a Sentiment Frame and a Hello Sentiment. A bit of Dancing Doily Lace peeks out behind the image and sentiment.

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing fun background technique used in creating this card!

Bokeh is a photography aesthetic quality where out of focus parts of an image develop  a character. The look created by photographers purposefully creating a shape on the blurred background is the inspiration for this background technique.
I began with a piece of Mixed Media Paper and added watercolor pencil and applied water to activate and smear the background. I set it aside to dry and in the mean time created a stencil on acetate with the circles stackers and the blueberries dies from the deep dish dies sets.

Once dry I applied circles with Pan Pastel in White using my template.  Circles were allowed to overlap to give the impression of the photography inspiration. Once I was happy with the look, I added my sentiment "Awesome" to the front of the card and matted with a piece of black cardstock using the A2 Frames!

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a spring card complete with garden fence, flowers and a butterfly. I love the A2 stackers and how great they are for making layers on your card. This card uses 4 of the rectangles to create layers....the focal piece that I water-colored is a much larger stamp and I simply cut with an inner rectangle the portion I wanted to show on my card. The mini doily is inked around the edges to enhance the laceyness of the doily. A mini flourish, mini butterfly and tiny flowers complete the look of the card. I'm ready for spring! only four more weeks!

Sandy here today with a cute vintage holiday card, at least my version of vintage, lol.  I started with a burgundy French Flair Stacker card base, 5 5/8 inches square. I die cut the largest die from the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker set from cream DP and layered that onto the card base.  Then using the next to the largest Silver French Flair Stacker, I added another layer of DP.  You can see how well these dies match up to give you perfect layers.  The same thing for my fancy oval; a burgundy panel cut from the mid size Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker with a coordinating DP panel cut from the Silver Oval Stackers.  I added a straight piece of Horizon Square Boutique Stacker for Tilda to perch. 

Using cream mulberry paper, I die cut my Poinsettia Strip die, layering two large, one medium and one small petal.  I pinched each petal down the middle and fluffed a bit for some dimension.  Next using burgundy mulberry paper, I created two roses from my Miniature Rose die.  I dry embossed the backs to give them a rounded shape, then layered and shaped them.  I added three Holly Leaves and pieces from my Holly Lace Flourish.
