Hi Cheery Lynn fans.  Bonnie here from Make Time to Craft today sharing a pretty floral birthday birthday card created with several gorgeous dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.
This pretty Birthday Wishes Circle die is such a useful die to have in your stash.  Mine gets so much use.  I created some pretty Distress Ink background paper and then cut the Ankara Lace Doily (ON SALE NOW!) in white and backed it with turquoise using the Angel Wing die that comes with it.  The Birthday wishes die was layered and adhered to that with some ribbon running under it across the center of the doily.
The pretty roses were cut, inked and shaped.  Then they were assembled to create pretty three dimensional roses which are the star of the show.

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All Tool using two of the ribbons from the pretty Spring Color March Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The center of the bow was finished off with a delicate pearl heart shaped embellishment.

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.

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?

A warm hello to you today. It is Debbie hosting the blog today from Debbie's Time Out.  So nice to see you visiting.


There are so many beautiful papers out there that I have chosen to go with fewer dies this time and let the paper be some of the pretty design of the card along with the beautiful dies.


Here I used the French Flair Stitch and Cut Tool   to cut out this design and then cut the sentiment from the Birthday Wishes Circle to layer on top of it.


This is cut from the Ribbon Eyelet Border  die. It makes a nice base to thread ribbon through. I added some bling to it as well as bling to the sentiment. This is a nice simple and quick card to make and I think it is so pretty.
