Sandy here with you today with a burst of Spring Shasta Daisies.  This is a pretty simple card to make using only four dies.  I began with an A2 card base, 4.25 x 5.5 inches.  Then I cut the largest die from my Lords and Commons Boutique Stacker A2 Frame set.  Using spray adhesive, I attached it to the card base.  I cut a rectangle to fit the center adding texture with my Large Rectangle Stitcher plate before attaching it.  My next layer is the smallest and next size up in the Lords and Common set.  I popped this layer up with dimensional foam.

For my flowers, I die cut my Shasta Daisy strip die twice.  I added some details to the petals as well as some Distress ink before shaping them with my embossing stylus.  I added a bit of Stickles to the centers and some Rose Leaves which I also inked with Distress ink.

Sandy, here with you today.  I have created a romantic card using my Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame.  I love the delicate edge of this die.  I began my card with a brown 5 3/4" square card base.  To this I added a peach DP panel 5 1/2" square and then the largest die from the boutique set die cut from brown card stock.  Using more DP, I added a 4 5/8" DP panel to the boutique panel. Next came the border panel created using my Lady Kate Edger and brown card stock and more DP.  Lots of layers on this card, now we come to the Heart to Heart Doily.  This is a great die as you get three lace hearts each with solid backers.  Lots of possible combinations with this die.  I used the middle die of the set and added the solid DP heart to the center.

Using my Shasta Daisy and Embellishments #3, I created 6 flowers.  This flower die is great as you get 3 sizes, 2 of each with just one pass through your die cut machine.  I curled the edges of the petals and pressed down on the center of the flowers to shape them.  Lastly I added some greenery using the Rose Leaf Strip and added some gem accents.

As I was sorting through my Cheery Lynn Designs dies with the idea of making a white on white card, I noticed that the pattern in the moon of the One Free Wish die coordinates well with the new Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stacker Frame.  So I gave it a go.  I began with a card base 5 5/8" square.  Using the largest die in my Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stacker Frame set, I die cut the fancy panel and using spray adhesive adhered it to the card base.  Using the middle die in my Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stacker Frame set, I die cut another fancy panel and adhered that to a 4 1/8" square panel.  Using dimensional foam, I popped this panel up on the center of my card. 

I die cut a panel 3" square and dry embossed it with my Dotted Swiss Embossing plate.  I centered and mounted this on the previous panel again using dimensional foam.  I die cut my One Free Wish and glued this down to the embossed panel.

Sandy here today with something new for me.  I tried to get a bit artsy with my floral embellishment on this card.  But first, I started with a 5 x 7 inch green card stock base, adding a red patterned paper background.  To this I added a Musical Staff Mesh Border piece backed with more patterned paper and green card stock.  For my cute little Drummer Boy from Mo Manning, I used the center die from the new Madrid Flourishes Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames, adding more patterned paper (all from Bo Bunny)

Now for my floral embellishment, I started with my Medium Lollipop Fringe Cutie winding it around wooden skewers.  Check out this tutorial post from Irina showing you how to do it.  Next I die cut some Cattails and Wheat Heads.  I doubled the paper on these so they would be thicker.  I added a bit of color with my Copic markers.  The last step was my flower created with my Poinsettia Strip; I used 2 large, 1 medium and 1 small petal folding the petals down the center score for some dimension.

My Cheery Lynn Designs card today it is all about hearts!  Starting with a red card base 5.5 inches square, I added a white panel cut out with the Heart Square Boutique Stacker Frames; love those hearts around the edge.  Next came another white panel that I embossed with the Petite Hearts Embossing Plate. 

Using the largest die from the Vienna Waltz Circle Boutique Stackers Frame set, I die cut the red panel.  Using the middle die from the Lords & Commons Doily set, I die cut the white panel.  Using spray adhesive, I layered them and then centered them on the card.

Using red card stock and the smallest die from the Lords & Commons Doily set,  I die cut the pattern and then used my Scalloped Circle Little Stackers to cut it out.  Again using spray adhesive, I centered it onto the previous layers on the card.

Lastly I created a computer generated sentiment on white card stock and die cut it out with the smallest die from the Horizon Fishtail Banners set.  I added a hand trimmed red panel.

The challenge this week is to use non-traditional Christmas colors.  I think this card fits that bill.  I began with an aqua card base 5 x 7 inches.  My designer paper came from a 6x6 inch pack so I trimmed the top row of penguins off; placed them at the top and the rest of the paper at the bottom.  That left me a gap of about an inch to fill in.  

To create the border piece, I began with a 1 inch pink base and added a 3/4 inch aqua base.  Using the largest die from the new Madrid Flourishes Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frame and a pink piece of card stock 1/2 inches wide, I cut a border piece.  You can see in the photo above, that I just taped my card stock piece to the die and then ran it through my machine.  Using spray adhesive, I attached it to the aqua piece then trimmed the ends to size and added it to my card base.  

Using the largest die from the fabulous new Mirror Mirror Doily, I die cut it from pink card stock.  Using the smallest die, I cut it from aqua card stock and then used the plain oval from the set to trim out the smaller frame.   I layered them and then popped it up on my card base, popping up my cute little penguin as well.

Using the smallest die in the Madrid Flourishes Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frame

 set and aqua card stock, I started my sentiment panel.  I trimmed a pink piece of card stock as a backer, then stamped my sentiment and trimmed it to fit.

A big hello to all....
Hi,  Its Anita here for weekly wednesday post. Once again , I'm bringing to you a new release die from Cheery Lynn. This month, a whole new range of intricate dies have been released and yes !!! they are so versatile.  The doily dies are divided into two parts and can be mix and matched and even used with other dies.



For my card, I cut out a hinged front from the Heart French Flair Boutique stacker frames from black card stock. I cut another piece in white and layered it inside the card after distressing it with evergreen bough distress ink. Then I cut medium piece from the second stacker frame and layered in the front again .  This I kept white in order to high light the new doily die.  Then I cut a circle in black placed on top of the new circle doily. On this, I placed the smallest part of the stacker frame.Then I put the second centre portion of the doily.  This I distressed with Ever green bough  Here, I have put some pearls to decorate the centre.  The flowers are cut and made from the Judy's Blooms die. I have coloured the flowers and leaves from Distress inks.

Sandy here today with a cute Halloween Boo Bear!  One of my favorite die designs are the Horizon frames.  I have used both the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame and the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frame.  These coordinate with the Square and Circle stackers so you can make masks or inserts.

Once I created my 5.5 inch square card base, I added both of my Horizon panels.  Then I added a Spiderweb off the edge of the card and this adorable Teddy Bo digi image which I popped up with foam dots.

My last addition was the flowers.  I love using my Poinsettia Strip for Halloween flowers.  Their spiky petals are perfect.  Be sure to check out this week's Orange and Black Challenge.  Join in the fun for a chance to win a $20 store credit at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Hello friends,

How is everyone doing?  I wanted to try something that went along with our current challenge i.e adding texture to cardstock. Now Cheery Lynn has some amazing embossing plates with just wonderful designs and you get such lovely textures on your card stock. I have tried one here today and one of the main reasons I kept my card simple was to highlight the texture part. I did not make it too heavy with flowers but kept all embellishments minimum.  I have added some glitter to the sentiments die cut and these days , I am going crazy with glitters. I have used the Stacker dies and layered them together. The flowers are simple and sweet.

Sandy, here with you today, filling in for Rhonda.  The challenge this week is Fun with Letters so I have created a fun hot air balloon themed card.  I began with a card base 5 x 7 inches to which I added a Hot Air Balloon and Clouds embossed panel. I die cut the two largest of my Horizon Fishtail Banners, airbrushing some color before I removed the paper from the dies.  I sandwiched the medium sized Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker Frame between the banners and then centered them onto the card.  I also added a bit of color to the oval before removing it from the frame.  I was using Copic marker B66.

I die cut one of the Hot Air Balloons along with it's Angel Wing, airbrushing some color onto the wing.  The last step was my words, For and You.  Before cutting my words, I added a piece from my Double-sided Adhesive Sheets to the back of the paper, then die cut through both of them.  This put adhesive on the back of my words and made it really easy to adhere them.

Happy Monday crafty friends! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

Over the weekend we had some out of town friends come to visit. It was pretty fun to see their little girls play and how much they enjoy their purses and dolls, etc.

I recently received the circle scalloped stacker dies and remembered this very cute idea that Jodi had shared a while back here on one of her amazing pages.

Happy Monday and St. Patrick's Day crafty friends! Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.
