Floral Birthday Card with Bonnie Garby

Hello Cheery Lynn die lovers! Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft to share a pretty birthday card that I created for my Mom featuring lots of beautiful dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I find that birthday cards are the most needed cards and no matter how many I make, I always seem to be behind. This Birthday Wishes Circle Sentiment is a great addition to your die collection and it can be used over and over in different settings without looking like you are always using the same die.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:
B783 Birthday Wishes Circle

DL232 Ankara Lace Doily

B435 Tea Rose Small

B436 Tea Rose Medium

B315 Ivy Corner Flourish

CASO20 Nesting Circles Die
M4 Circle Classic Sm Silver Stacker

I created my marbled background papers using Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks. I just love creating my own background papers because they are always so beautiful. I also used the Distress paper for the wording in the Birthday Wishes die. I cut the die once in dark purple cardstock and again with the Distress Ink paper. I then snipped out the words only and layered them on to the dark purple cut. It also pops up the words just a little to make them stand out.

My Tea Roses were created by alternating layers of solid cardstock with Distress Ink paper. I just love two tone roses. I shaped the petals before layering them for a realistic rose look.

I topped my card off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using 5/8" Rose Bloom and Regal Purple Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The bow was topped off with a pretty heart shaped pearl embellishment also from RRR.

I also ran a piece of Regal Purple Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon topped with Tutti Frutti Chevron Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon across the center of the card under the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. What's your favorite die to use when making birthday cards?

Let it Snow by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, its JULIE here today. The clocks changed last weekend in Scotland and there is definitely a wintry feel in the air now which inspired me to make my winter scene using the pretty Maja Design papers and some of our vast range of amazing Festive and Winter dies.

I started my card by tattering at the edges two layers of paper and adding a scattering of Frantage for a snowy effect. My rosette styled Snowflower was cut out in glitter card adding Holly, Pine Branches and layering on my cute snowman.

My Let It Snow was drop shadowed and layered onto my Stackers with a little cheesecloth and Frantage for extra detail. I mounted my Dancing Snow Flurries Border around my sign using sections of this Die to form the oval shape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Crafty Hugs,

Julie x

Thanks Card by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.

Who is your greatest inspiration for creating? Well for me there are a couple ladies/men who inspire me to create, one of them is Gabrielle Pollacco {who doesn't love her work right??}! She has been a guest here for Cheery Lynn Design too a couple of years back. She got me inspired to make this card {especially the flowers with the white dots on them} so thanks sweet Gabi....sometimes inspiration is drifting off and you need some to make a DT project. Then for me I just have to look at some of my amazing friends and I know what to make.

Thanks:

Those sprays are made with the Sweet William Strip and they are really easy to make. Hopefully I can show you how I made them soon. I LOVE the burlap border, it's one of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn because you can use it for so many things {mostly for a background piece}. Here on my card I layered two of them slightly moved on top of each other.

For this card I used several 49 and Market collections. Since you almost only see Christmas/Halloween cards on the blog at the moment I thought, let's make something different to show off....oops I did that last week too hehe. I am not such a fan of Christmas. I think that's why I almost never make those cards.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B310 - Shasta Daisy
B307 - Sweet Williams Strip
B312 - Burlap Border
B682 - Quadrafoil Tag
CAFLRS-7 - Flourish #7

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 day!

Snowman Scene by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 2 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today.

The other day I was playing with a new Penny Black scenic stamp that I bought at a crop I was at last weekend. So this is the stamped scene that makes my background. As I was thinking about what to do for your inspiration, I thought of this card I had previously stamped and thought how nice the new Cheery Lynn snowman would look in the scene. He is absolutely perfect for this scene..

I popped Patches the Snowman up with foam spacers giving the card some dimension. I cut him in white and then his hat in black and then again in red for his hat band and scarf. I used some CTMH markers to add colors to all the beautiful stitching details on him. I layered the Holly Corner to the top corner and added some red glitter to the berries. I triple matted the card using the Rectangle Stitch and Cut tool set . What a beautiful card stamped images and die cuts can make when using them together.

I thank you for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. Have a wonderful crafty day my friends.

Dies Used
Patches the Snowman - 3 Piece - B908
Holly Corner Die - B184
