An Icky Sticky Yummy Card

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, Donna here, did you know it's only two more weeks till Christmas, and Santa arrives with all those crafty presents......are you all ready for the big day?

For my card this week

I used a Mo Manning image called Sticky, isn't he a little darling!

My card is a 6.5 inch x 6.5 inch card

I cut out the French Flair Scalloped Nesting die in the largest size in red cardstock, and layered the French Flair Classic in the largest size out of green paper, then layered a Scalloped Circle Classic nesting die out of red cardstock and finally a white circle classic nesting die on top.

I've sprinkled it full of glamour dust and finally a spraying of irridescent spray from Crafter's Companion to get the overall shine to it. (Of course I had to do it outside in the freezing cold as it is an aerosol and very strong smelling) Finally I popped the image onto a action wobble. (I tried to take a picture of it in action but it just kept coming out blurry)

For the sentiment I used a combination of the word Happy and Christmas from the Merry Christmas sentiment set.

In the corner I layered up three snowflakes using silicone glue. The bottom snowflake is the snowflake 5, then the Snowflower from Set 2, finishing with the snowflake from the snowflake set (a must have set at this time of year)

I've also used one of the sentiment frames on the left side of the card popping two buttons from the Dimensional buttons on top.

Don't forget the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge which this week is Tis the Season. You have the chance to win a $20 shopping voucher to use in the Cheery Lynn Designs store.

I'm taking a little break today from the holiday cards, and decided to share with you a great card for a new baby. This is a wing-fold card which is really simple to make, but is very impressive to recieve.

Cut the following pieces of paper to assemble card

Mist (blue) cardstock: 5 ¾ x 12” - scored at 3 3/8; 5 1/8; 6 7/8; 8 5/8

Cut (2) from Lullaby 3 1/8 x5 ½

Cut (3) from Bundle of Joy 1 ½ x 5 ½

Die cut:

(2) Victorian Garden Doily Frame in Ivory

(1) Japanese Lace Oval Angel Wing in Ivory

(1) Japanese Lace Oval in New Arrival

1. Ink the edges of all patterned papers with Dark Cashmere ink. Adhere the Victorian Garden Doily to each of the Lullaby mats. Trim the excess from the doily frame. Glue panels to the outer sides of the card base.

2. Glue the three small Bundle of Joy papers to the 3 center panels of the card.

3. Glue the Japanese Lace Oval diecut to the cut shadow background. Add pearls to each tip.

4. Trace the oval from the Japanese Lace oval, and cut from Ivory cardstock. Ink the edges. Stamp the baby using Robin’s Egg. Allow to dry completely, and stamp the sentiment, slightly overlapping the image using embossing ink. Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set.

5. Adhere to the oval doily using dimensional adhesives and add bow.

Congratulations, Michele. Please contact me for your $25 shopping spree to Cheery Lynn Designs. And thank you to everyone who visited us and left such lovely comments. We truly appreciate each and every one.

Hello all you Cheery Lynn fans and welcome to Sunday, I'm Tamara I would like to show you what I have been up to over the week and as its very nearly Christmas I have made another Christmas decoration using Cheery Lynn Dies

Dies used for this project

Silver Classic Circle nesting stackers - L4

Purple Classic nesting stackers - XL4

Holly Leafs - B183

Frills and Hearts Border Dies - B107

If you are just starting your collection of cheery lynn dies you can still create something wonderful with a little imagination.. The rolled flowers have been created using the Classic Circle purple series stacker dies, I used No 2 die (1 being the smallest and 6 the largest) for the rolled flowers. No: 4 for the base and the corresponding silver series die to create a layer effect.. I have inked the edges and the leaves in walnut satin distress inks and coloured in copics.

Don't forget we have two blogs this one which is our inspiration blog and our challenge blog, where we have a new challenge for you each week starting on Monday's and the prize is $20 voucher to spend in the Cheery Lynn Store. You must use at least one Cheery Lynn Die to enter..
