Little Wishes {Spring Layout}

Hi there! It's me Gabrielle here with you all again today to share my second project for the month with you as Cheery Lynn's guest designer! I had a lot of fun using the Clock w/Angel Wings die last week in a steampunk design. But I thought it would be cool to show how versatile this die is for other designs as well. In my l/o above I changed up the look of the clock a little by adding some flower accents to the middle of the clock design, playing up a more feminine design for the page.

I used the Sweet Williams die to make the the cream color flowers in the center of the clock. I created a flower bud for the center using a couple of the smallest cuts from this flower die and then layered a few of the next sizes up (giving them a little water misting and a wrinkle) for the other layers.

I made a heart embellishment for the page using the Celtic heart die on white cardstock and then with a pencil marked out the heart design on some patterned paper from Maja Design to create an underlayer for the heart.

I often like to create a counter balance on my page design, for this page I put a lattice design in the top left corner. I used the Lattice 2 die and gave it a random angle cut to appear like broken lattice. I then finished the design with more of the Sweet Williams blooms and using portions of the Ivy Corner Flourish dies.

TIP: I wanted to attach my lattice so that it stands away from the page a bit, but felt that adhesive foam dots can be a little tricky to apply to finer cuts and might be a little to thick. So I used some 3D paint like Perfect Pearls to the back of the die cut piece. When dry, I added some adhesive to the dried perfect pearls and stuck it to my page. This gave my lattice just enough 3D effect that I was going for.

Cheery Lynn Dies used for this project:

~ Clock w/Angel Wings (Steampunk Series) B357

~ Sweet Williams D137

~ Celtic Heart B144

~ Lattice 2 FRM115

~ Ivy Corner Flourish B315

I hope you enjoyed my project for today! I look forward to sharing some more fun projects with you all in the weeks to come! xo

Create a Frame

Jodi 3:30 AM 10 Comments

Hello! I just love the versatility of the dies from Cheery Lynn Designs! Today's layout features the reflections and border dies combined to create a delicate frame.

Starting from top to bottom, I created the frame for my photo using Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Boutique Mega Die, Enchanted Forest Stacker Frame, another layer of the Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections, and the beautiful Tiffany Border. The bottom layers were trimmed with the gorgeous Francesca and Queen Anne’s Lace borders.

Here is a close up of the Sweet Williams, flower center created from Build a Flower #1. Foliage from Small Leaves 2 and Flourish Leaf Strip.

I created this flower by cutting three layers of Stacker Flower #3, staggering the petals as I adhered them. Again, using parts from Build a Flower #1 to create the center. To the right of the flower is the Large Rose. Darling Daisies can be seen on the left. The leaves are from Stacker Flower #1 Leaf, Small Leaves 2, and the Princess Tree. Other dies used are the Two of Hearts, Fanciful Flourish, and Exotic Butterfly Mini.

There is still time to enter this week challenge for your chance to win the $20 gift certificate for more of these fabulous dies!! Details Here

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Springtime Card

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 3:25 AM 7 Comments

I had a ton of fun making this sweet card.

As usual, I have used a ton of dies and Authenticate Paper's Delightful Collection.

I started by using the largest egg in the NESTING EGGS and decorated it with the following dies:

Lace Edger, Dancing Doily Lace Border and Bunny and Chick.

I then used the Spring Basket 1 and Darling Daisies to create the focal point of the card.

I had found the phrase I wanted to use first, so that is how I decided what to put IN the basket.

The bunny is the perfect touch for this Springtime card.

I love the colors and the dies were such fun to work with on this project.

I hope you have enjoyed my post. Have a great weekend, this has been Jeannie with The Polka Cabana with today's post.

Fall Has Arrived

Donna 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Good Morning Everyone, Donna here again showing you a Fall Easel card I made using the new Tiffany Border die around the outer edge. I just love the colors of fall......all so nice and warm.

On the front of the card I have used the Dimensional Small Leaves (under the flowers in the corners), which I cut out using white textured linen card, then sponged them all with an assortment of Distress inks to achieve the various fall colors of reds, oranges, golds, yellows, greens and browns. I also added the Bird on a Branch and Bird on a Branch 2 dies (minus the bird). I think they make excellent swirls and branches, perfect for this time of year. Again they were all sponged with the distress inks. The image of Kai playing in the leaves was mounted on cardstock on top of the Dutch Scallop Square

In these two pictures, you can see a closeup of the Bird on a Branch dies and the Dimensional Leaves. I've also used the Tropical Flourish cut into two pieces behind the leaves.

On the inside of the Easel card I used the Circle Stackers and Scalloped Circle Stackers for my greeting area and the Anastasia border along the sides, as this is a very large Easel card, it's 8x8 inches.
