Happy Halloween Card with Bonnie Garby

Hi Cheery Lynn lovers! Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft sharing a silly/spooky Halloween card I made using some of the newest Halloween dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I've been making lots of fun background papers using Distress and Distress Oxide inks lately, and the dies sets I've used today are perfect to pair with a somewhat 'busy' background as they still stand out.

There is nothing too complicated with this card. I just layered the Distress Ink paper on black and green cardstock and adhered it to my card base. I then cut the dies in single layers in the colors show. For the eyes I cut a small scrap of cardstock in the color I selected and glued it to the back of the die cuts for the eyes and mouth. The grass strip was adhered along the bottom only so I could tuck parts of the cats behind the grass for a more realistic look.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

B905 Happy Haunts

B906 Friendly Felines

B904 Twisted Tree

B593 Grass Border

Below is a peek inside my card. I used the Twisted Tree die to decorate the inside while leaving space for a message of your choice.

I finished my card off with a shabby bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using one of the ribbon styles from the September Halloween Themed Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Are you busy working on your Autumn or Halloween themed cards yet?

Happy Halloween by Julie Lavalette

Hi fellow crafters, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration with our latest winter release.

I love this Aspen Forest Die as I see so many uses for it including Christmas and Halloween.

My Aspen Forest was cut out white cardstock and inked with Distress Inks, I mounted onto corrugated card which I had also added Ink onto the raised areas. This gives my forest depth.

My trick and treat children were Shadow layered to make them pop.

I mounted my moon onto the twiggy wreath adding my ghouls and drop shadowed sentiment.

Hope you have a lovely week and find some time to craft.

Crafty Hugs,

Julie x

Mixed Media Create Dreams Tag by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely fans.

Oh boy, can you create your own dreams! You can if you just believe in yourself. This tag was created using all products from every design team I work for with a spotlight on Cheery Lynn Designs of course. I totally went overboard using mixed media products and I had so much fun making this tag.

The amazing film strip die I used here I got in one of my last allotments and it was on my wish list since it got released....so glad I finally got it.

Create Dreams Tag:

First I got out a piece of white cardstock and cut it in a tag shape. Then I added some black gesso, clear crackle paste and teal acrylic paint and layered those on top of each other after drying them first. When all was dried I placed a stencil and added some granite paste to my tag. Then I cut out all the dies I was going to use {only three this time} and placed them on my tag how I liked.

On the centers of my flowers I used some metal embellishments and I finished my work by adding some sprays and sequins. Oh, and not to forget I also made stitch like stripes on my title to make it pop a little more.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
B862 - Mehndi Botanicals 1
B677 - Film Strip Border
B618 - Create {set of 2}

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies. You could also visit my blog at Amy's Pretty Papers for more inspiration.
Have a wonderful and sunny day!

Coffee Friends by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out with you today.

Today I am featuring another die set from the new release called Brew Can Do It .

I have used my favorite color aqua for my background and matted it with beige and then a wider matt in a beautiful flowered paper.

I layered the Swedish Spring Oval Frame in the center of the card. I printed this sentiment from my computer and the place the Pierced Stacker die over it and cut it out. I tucked one cup behind the stacker and the other one on top of the stacker.

Here is a closer look at the cup. I just can't get over how realistic looking it is. I cut the cup sleeve from some corrugated paper which really looks cool.

Thanks for checking out the blog. I hope I have inspired you to make a few cards.
Have a wonderful crafty day my friends.

Dies Used
Brew Can Do It - 5 Piece - B902

Hello everyone! Im sharing today a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs using the New Fall/Winter Collection! All the die cuts are adorable! I made another A2 Center Step Card and basically was inspired by the Blog Hop Banner for the new release.

Cut out some curves for the snow....and die cut 5 "classic trees" I added some sequins in red for a bit of bling. The "bear" was die cut in white and then I die cut the green scarf and red sled and layered it on top of each other. I also the same layering for the "car"
