Hello Everyone!

Corina here, with my Pink Card as promised! Did any of you create with a colour that was not your go-to colour!


I do find it difficult to create with pink. So I used my go-to colours - Black and White - to help me! Other than the black and white card stock, all the pattern actually came from one 12x12 piece of pattern paper.

As always I used the Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies), this time the smallest, as a base for my sentiment Birthday die. Absolutely love, love, love, all the detail in all the dies that I used on this card!

Dies used:

Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies) - DL278
French Pastry Tiny Doily - DL234

Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,
Corina Finley

Live, Laugh & Create!

Hey everyone!

Jenn here, back again with another week of guest designing.  Thank you so very much for all your comments the past two weeks- they really mean a lot!

I am so impressed with all the gorgeous creations from the DT showcasing all the new dies.  They all did such a wonderful job with their projects, didn't they?  The new dies are all so lovely, I had such a hard time deciding which ones I wanted! I would not be surprised if they are here in time for me to play with by my post next week.  One thing I absolutely love about ordering directly from Cheery Lynn is how super fast my order ships.  

This week while looking around for inspiration, I found some really pretty cards that I wanted to give a try.  I have seen them called book cards or shadowbox cards.  I also have a few border/edger dies that I haven't used yet which I thought would work perfectly for this type of project.  Here is my first go (lots of pictures):


This is the front of the card, the ribbon on the side is to tie the two covers closed. 


This was taken from a different angle, to show the dimension of the flowers.



Here is a close up of the flowers.  I've used the Daisy Strip, Shasta Daisy Strip and Chrysanthemum Strip.  There is also some different foliage (list at bottom), a bark heart and some flower buds that my darling toddler brought to me to add in lol!


 This is the inside of the card- the shadowbox portion.  As you can see, I've been playing around with bits and pieces again :)  The only problem I have with that is I tend to forget which dies I've used pieces from!  Doesn't the Felicity Doily look a bit like a lace sun?  So pretty.  I've also used another Daisy Strip, but this time I folded the petals in half lengthwise before shaping the rest of the way.



 And lastly, here is a picture of the inside cover.  I chose this paper out of the bunch because of the lined section which will give me a spot to write my sentiment/message once I decide what to use the card for.

That's it for me this week- wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!

Here is a little closer look at the front.  I used Sweet Williams Strip and crepe paper to make the flowers.  With crepe paper you can make the flowers as full as you want because the paper is so thin you can layer many more die cuts to achieve your desired shape and fullness.


here is the inside


Here's a list of the dies used for this project:
