Birthday Wishes Card by Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning everyone,

I am very happy you are here with us, today I have a card to show you all. For this card I used the super pretty circle phrase "Birthday Wishes"! The phrases are so much to use on a card or even on a layout. For this card I used the pretty "Vintage Autumn Basics"collection by Maja Design....as most of you already know I am a sucker for the flower dies Cheery Lynn offers so on this card I used a couple of them.

Birthday Wishes:

Lately I am all for blue colors I call it my blue phase lol! In the past I always used my pretty doily dies on my work and I don't anymore but I took them out yesterday and thought by myself Amy why don't you use them they add so much to a card and layout.....so you will probably see them more on my work from now on.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

B307 - Sweet Williams Strip

C184 - Judy's Blooms

B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip
DL102 - French Pastry Doily
B783 - Birthday Wishes Circle
CABTRF-18 - Butterfly #18 {set of 4}

Life is Good by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi there, this is Eva, and I am here today to share a super happy, full of life card with one of our newest die called Whimsical Life Is Good.

This card was so fun to create and I absolutely love this sentiment die! It will be used a lot! I could see this on canvas or layouts, or any other projects, or just a card like I made.

To create this card I cut down an A2 size card base. Then I cut a 1/4" smaller card front out of watercolor card stock as I wanted to paint a fun watercolor background. To do that, I used Color Burst Watercolor Powders. Then I die cut the sentiment out of black as I wanted it to be bold. Finally I die cut one of the Small Exotic Butterflies #2 w/Angel Wings and painted them in and added them to my card and that is it!

And here are the dies I used to create this card with.

B803 - Whimsical Life Is Good (NEW)

DL113AB - Small Exotic Butterflies #2 w/Angel Wings

Hope you like this colorful card and can't wait to see your cards in our newest challenge!

Hugs,

Eva

Best Wishes by Eva Dobilas

Hi there, this is Eva and today I have a pretty doily card to share with you. I love to add gold elements to my card so that's what you'll see on this.

To create this card I have cut an A2 size card base out of turquoise card stock. Next I cut down a Heidi Swapp resist paper and sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. Than I die cut Alpine Flourish Doily out of gold mirror card stock and placed it on the card front. Next I die cut a Mirror out of cream card stock and stamped my sentiment and the outline on it and added it to my gold doily.

Next I die cut a Small Exotic Butterflies #2 w/Angel Wings, using patterned paper for the intricate cut and watercolor card stock for the wing, which I sprayed with the Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and glued them together and placed it on the doily to finish up my card.

Hope you like this little card and here is the list of the dies I used to create it with.

DL282- Alpine Flourish Doily

CABD-74 - Mirror

DL113AB - Small Exotic Butterflies #2 w/Angel Wings

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see your cards in our current challenge!

Hugs,

Eva

A Colorful Happy Birthday to You

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi friends. It's Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here today filling in for Amy. We've had some really dreary weather in my area for a few weeks and I needed some color in my life so I went bold today.

I started out with scraps of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple card stock about 1-1/2" x 5". I applied Stick It adhesive to the backs of all the pieces and then die cut each with the Border #3 die. I then adhered all my pieces on to a panel of white card stock and then mounted that on an A2 sized top fold black card base.

Stick It adhesive is a wonderful adhesive for intricate die cuts. You simply apply it to the back of your cardstock, die cut, peel off the backing and adhere it to your project. Perfect for effortless, all-over adhesion. The best part is that it doesn't 'grab' immediately, so there is a little time to make sure your die cut is exactly where you want it. I use it on all my projects.

For the sentiment, I used the Rectangular Pierce & Cut Tool Lge Silver Pierce die. If you don't have the size you need, you can often create one by partially cutting, flipping the die and line up the holes and cut the other half. This really adds to the value of these sets!

I then added some dimensional butterflies using the Small Exotic Butterlies #1 set and a pretty bi-color double loop bow made with gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

Rectangle Pierce & Cut Tool - LG Silver Pierce Tool LPC-16

Borders #3 CABRD-3

Small Exotic Butterflies #1 w/Angel Wings DL112AB

Stick It Adhesive

My Special Day Memory Book by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Good morning to you all.

With the new October release, Cheery Lynn Designs came out with some amazing "Memory Book"dies in different sizes which I really love. Not that I am a great mini album maker but it makes it so much easier to start one. So today I'd like to show one I made it will hold my wedding pictures when I finish the inside as well.

My Special Day:

Last week I showed you a layout I made of little me. I just went along and used that paper line again on this memory book. In the future I'd like to make one for my husband too with different colors and more masculine of course. On the inside I have seven sheets to use and put my pictures on so that's going to be a challenge for me not using so many pictures one project hehe.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

BE103 - Memory Books (Lrg) Scallops with Rings

B363 - Corset w/Angel Wing (Steampunk Series)

CABD-106 - Corner #3

DL112 - Exotic Butterfly Small

CABD-62 - Feathers (set of 4)

B146 - Pine Branches

B236 - Day (set of 2)

I hope you like my memory book. Thank you so much for visiting the blog today.
