Joy to the World by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn Fans it's JULIE here today. Gosh I can't believe how fast we are now approaching the end of the year and it will soon be Thanksgiving Day for all our American friends. So today my card is inspired by this celebration.

I started by distressing my 2 layers of Maja Design papers at the edges and layered onto my card. I cut out my wreath in 3 shades of paper from the same pad, cutting 2 of my wreaths so they would stretch out a little larger than the base one. The cut was hidden by my drop shadowed reindeer.

My large sunflower was coloured with Copic Pens and Micro Beads added into the centre. The smaller sunflowers I added Flowersoft into the centres and also touches onto the wreath. My berries were coloured with Copic and 2 layers of Glossy accents added letting them dry between coats. Finishing with arranging my bouquet onto my card.

Good morning lovelies.

As I said before I really enjoy using the new shaker dies so much, that I can't stop creating with them. So for today I would like to show you the Christmas Tree Shaker on a card. I am not such a Christmas card maker but with these dies it makes it really easy to do so.

Joy to the World:

In my shaker die I used a couple products such as micro beads, sequins and larger beads plus some white paint spray on the inside too and the shakers Mini Merry Christmas & Mini Snowflake.

I also added some Finnabair Snowflake Paste on the flower cluster and Tree.

Other products used "A Christmas Carol"collection by Graphic 45 some green satin ribbon and some teal/white striped ribbon, treat and some little Christmas bells.

Celebrate Fall Step Card: Guest Designer Kathy Clement

Kathy/NorthCarolina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

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

With Love by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration for an Autumnal card.

I started by die cutting out my stacker dies, tattering some at the edges with the blade of my scissors and layering up with foam strips.

My Sunflower Doily I layered two colours, offsetting and gluing only in the middle so my layers were not lying too flat.

I added a Winter bouquet of foliage and a Sunflower, apt for this time of year. My berries have Glossy accents added onto them.

My Sunflower was shaded with Distress inks adding Flower Soft and Micro Beads to the centre.

I finished off my card with bling around my sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Bi-Weekly challenge.

Happy Turkey Day by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am excited to be sharing another card with you using dies from our latest release. This card measures 8" X 8" to give you an idea of the size.

For my Autumn/Fall foliage I cut out several leaves in White cardstock. I used Distress Sprays on them to get all the different shades. I layered onto corrugated card that had been sprinkled with some Frantage.

My Sunflowers were coloured with Distress inks and micro beads added to the centres.

My hazelnuts I double layered the base area and added a crackle glaze onto the nut area and once dry added a little Distress ink to highlight the cracks.

My berries were also coloured with Distress inks and two layers of Glossy Accents were added letting it dry in between.

I added my doily to the centre and arranged all my foliage and flowers gluing everything in place and finishing with my cute Turkey.

Thanks so much for stopping by today to see my card. I hope you feel inspired to make a card with the Autumn/Fall Leaves die and why not incorporate it into our Current Challenge - Doilies Theme. Love to have you join in the fun with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree here at Cheery Lynn Designs.
