Hey crafty friends.  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here today and I'm sharing what is supposed to be a masculine card for a teenage boy.  I struggle so much with cards for guys and I'm not really all that psyched about this one, but it wasn't terrible, so I thought I'd share it anyway.  We are all our own worst critics, right?  Anyway, I used some really cool dies on this card from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Hello die cut lovers!  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a pretty note card featuring some gorgeous dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.
My card today is my version of CAS.  Yes, I know there are lots of layers, but it's still a clean look.  This is as 'CAS' as it gets for me.  <smile>
I created the paper for the butterfly die cut with a couple shades of blue Distress Ink.  It gives it just a bit of added interest.  The background butterfly and vine die cut is actually a border die.  It's a long thin border and it worked perfectly for this card when I cut it in half and stacked it with the sentiment in the center.  It's always good when you can find an alternate use for a die.  It makes it worth twice as much!

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool with ribbon from the July Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The center of the bow is adorned with a pretty flower shaped pearl embellishment.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the other products I used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.

Hi crafty friends and happy summer.  It is HOT, HOT, HOT where I am in the northeast USA!  No denying that it's summer.  Tomorrow is the 4th of July holiday here in the US and nothing says 4th of July and summer better than a Patriotic color theme.  This note card was created with some pretty dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.
This is a very simple design where I let the Lattice Frame as the background do all the work along with the small and simple Sweet Christine Flowers.  I just cut the Lattice frame in red and adhered it to white cardstock and then added a red and blue layer beneath it.  I wrapped some pretty ribbons around that unit and then at the very bottom you will see a layer of wispy white mulberry paper.  I then topped that with the sentiment panel which was also layered with blue cardstock and white mulberry paper.
The flowers are very easy to assemble.  I cut the flowers in red, white and blue cardstock.  I inked the white pieces in red and blue with an old script background stamp.  I then shaped the petals with a needle tool and glued the layers offsetting the petals for each new layer.  I then added the leaf layer to the base before adhering them under the sentiment panel.

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool with ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The center of the bow is adorned with a pretty star shaped pearl embellishment.

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans.  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a pretty pink and purple floral birthday card featuring some gorgeous dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.
It's no secret that I love to create three dimensional flowers, but today I'm using a die that I don't often use.  The flowers today were created with the Judy's Bloom die.  It makes really lovely flowers.  For the larger flower in the center, I layered petals using both sizes in the die set and the smaller flowers just use the smaller flower die.  I made the flowers with some pretty Distress Ink paper I made and the foliage is a mix of the dies from the Flourish 6 and Flourish 13 die sets.
For my background I layered the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 1 cut in white over another piece of Distress Ink paper, layered it on purple and pink cardstock and backed it with white mulberry paper.  I ran a layered piece of ribbon across the middle of my card behind the sentiment panel.

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow I created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using ribbon from the June Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I added a pretty pearl heart shaped embellishment to the center of the bow.

Hello and Happy Wednesday.  Bonnie here from Make Time to Craft today sharing a pretty floral birthday card created with pretty dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Hi Cheery Lynn die lovers.  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today and I'm sharing an inspirational note card created with dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

The flowers were cut in red, white and blue cardstock.  I inked the white layers with red and blue ink.  I then shaped the petals and assembled each flower, finishing off with a White Half Pearl for the center.  I then arranged the foliage pieces around the sentiment panel and then adhered the flowers over that.

My card is finished off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using ribbon from the Patriotic themed May Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The center of the bow is adorned with a Star Shaped Pearl Embellishment.

Hi Cheery Lynn fans.  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a bright and pretty floral birthday card I created with the lovely Cherry Blossom die from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Hi Cheery Lynn fans.  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here today sharing a fun card created with a couple of the new dies sets in the Let's Go Retro Collection from Cheery Lynn Designs.
This was a fun card to create and the new die sets make it really easy to create a scene.  Just cut the pieces in the different colors of your choice and assemble.  The space background was created using dark gray cardstock and I flicked on some white paint for stars.

Hi Cheery Lynn fans.  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing another card using one of the new dies from the Let's Go Retro release from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Today I used the Rock & Roll Jukebox set and I kept it pretty clean and simple.  This set has pieces so that you can easily cut all the parts out in the colors of your choice and then adhere them to the base.  Easy peasy.

I added the sentiment to the upper left corner and then some simple dove-tailed ribbon banners using ribbon from the April Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Hi Cheery Lynn die lovers!  Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a pretty floral note card featuring some pretty dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.
I created by background by cutting the lattice die out of blue cardstock and layering it on a cream cardstock background.  I then ran a piece of brown ribbon across the center of the card, added the base of the sentiment frame, layered the tan swiss dots ribbon on that and then added the sentiment panel.

Next I pulled out my very favorite flower die set - the Floral Bouquet Kit, and cut the flower and foliage pieces.  I shaped them using a foam pad and stylus, assembled and added white half pearls for the centers.  I then arranged the floral cluster below the sentiment.
