Love Tag

3:30 AM 2 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a Valentine tag using the new borders die along with the Lords and Commons doily and the Lattice Heart and Vines. The base is created by die cutting the edge of the tag with the Scandinavian border die and adding a bit of the Lords and Commons Doily as a topper to the tag. The lattice die was cut and hand painted gold on the heart and green on the vines. Daisies were die cut from a book print paper and inked and painted with pink and gold; a bead was added to the center to complete the flower.

The key, lock and "love" were die cut with a neutral card stock and then hand-colored gold with creams. The "love" was added to the bottom of the tag and the key and lock tucked into the flowers.

Layered Love Valentine

3:30 AM 1 Comments


Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a  layered Valentine Card for you! I love the visual texture of the printed flowers against the solid colors of red, pink and black. To create this card I layered a heart assemblage and sculpted flowers on a base of the Royal Scandinavian Doily and a scalloped square. The heart assemblage consists of  the larger of the Two of Hearts doilies, the steampunk wings and the small steampunk heart. The flowers are layered with Tiny Flower centers.

Holiday Ornaments

3:30 AM 2 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here creating some last-minute ornaments for my tree and for gifts. I am using the 60 degree triangles from the Quilt and Fabric dies! These are a bit deeper than our normal Cheery Lynn Designs Dies and allow for multiple pieces of cardstock to be cut at once! This makes creating a project like this where you would need 20 triangles so much quicker and easier.


The notches on the die make it easy to fold up the edges of the triangle for gluing. This is the seam allowance for quilting but it is perfect for gluing to create the ornament.

To create the ornament you need a string of 10 triangles glued together as above left. Additionally you need a top and a bottom of the ornament that is constructed like on the right. I found that it goes together easier if you nip off the very tips of the allowance at the points. I allows the card stock to sit nicely and not have to be bent to allow for the final connections to be made.

I finished my ornaments with a chenille stem ring for hanging the ornament and some shaped poinsettias and holly leaves. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project!

Seasonal Greetings

3:30 AM 4 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here With a seasonal holiday card using some of my favorite elements! Even though I  live in a VERY WARM state, snowflakes are one of my favorite design elements for winter. For this card I used the Snowflake Wonder Doily  along with Snowflowers sets and the Snowflakes plate. The elegant Fancy Deer paired with some shiny florals and bling. Below is a brief tutorial with all the tips.

Begin by cutting the Snowflake Wonder Doily without the center die out of Kraft and mist with an opaque white mist. I masked the center of the doily with a square. 

Once I was happy with the look of the outer of the doily, I misted lightly from high so that it looked like a light misting of snow.

I then returned my mask to the doily to mist with a blue-hued mica mist. I heat set this mist to hold the colors in place.

I placed a red square behind the doily to coordinate with the red flowers that will be placed on the card and to help the doily to pop off the card. I then layered on snowflakes and a Fancy Deer with antlers--to add extra sparkle the white pieces were misted with a Pearl white mist. This focal square was place on the top two-thirds of the card.

I then began layering my florals on top of the mini flourish band. I built the flowers and added beads to the centers with a clear lacquer. The petals of the leaves and flowers were also painted with the lacquer to add shine [see last photo for the full effect]

Bling was added to several snowflake centers to add more sparkle.

Joyful Tag!

3:30 AM 1 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here playing along with this weeks challenge! I LOVE tags and the new Alpine Flourish Doily makes the perfect tag! I began by cutting a kraft tag to go behind my die cut. I then layered the Alpine Flourish Die onto the tag with 3 dimensional glue dots so that it would have a bit of dimension.


Next I added my poinsettias that I had created using the strip die. Once cut from red card stock, I shape them with a stylus on a foam pad. I then stack them, little one on the top and the next smallest below it. I add little yellow prills for the center. Love the look here.


I cut the Joy to the World Sentiment from the wreath set in both chocolate and red. I layer them and wipe a layer of lacquer over the top. To adhere to my tag I coat the entire solid area with lacquer and place my sentiment in the center.


The twiggies are cut from the same brown and green using the wreath strip. They are layered under the poinsettias. The flowers are attached last and trims are run through a hole I punched in the tag.

Back To School Greetings

3:30 AM 3 Comments

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a back to school card! I love this time of year and creating a simple layered card like this with the scalloped square stackers and the Horizon Square die are so much fun! Using coordinating papers and precolored digital images make this type of card making super fast and easy! A few simple embellishments [paper flower and black on black flowers] add just the right touch!

A Winter White Hello

3:30 AM 7 Comments

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a winter hello with a few more dies from the new release. I used the new Snowflake Doily again which goes along with this weeks challenge and I added the new Dancing Snowflake Flurries! This is such a fun die! It has little dots here and there on circles on the swirl that just beg for some bling and bigger circles in "flowers" that want bling too! I went with white on white-with-some-glitz. For all of my snowflakes I misted my paper with a pearly mist that added a nice shimmer. To complete my card I added a few flowers and a scattering of snowflakes and a simple Hello.

Peace on Earth!

3:30 AM 1 Comments

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye joining the fun of Christmas in July! I LOVE crafting for the holidays and have to start in July to get it all done! Today I made a holiday tag with the shuttered window die...using it as the inside frame of a window looking out onto a winter scene. I used the two "caps" as a decorate window treatment and window sill. The little trees are ready to be decked for the holidays and the banner reminds us that it's a time for peace.

Anything goes with a Matchbox!

3:30 AM 3 Comments


Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a fun a project for the Anything Goes Challenge. I 'm using the medium match box die to create a box for a mini book that I created with the French Flair die! I LOVE these little boxes! I can't wait to make more!

Cheery Lynn Dies used
Tiny Flower Kit (Set of 3) - B376
Mini Fanciful Flourish - B117S
French Flair - Classic LG Stackers Nesting Dies - XL-12
French Flair - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies - XL-13
Alison's Ribbons - B335
Miniature Rose - B152
Medium Rose - B154
Flourish Leaf Strip - B178
Matchbox Medium (Set of 2) - B329


To created the mini book I die cut out a scalloped French Flair out of watercolor paper that was half as wide as the matchbox. That way when it is folded in half it it will fit I then . I cut pages for the book from copy weight paper. The small French Flairs were folded and trimmed and glued together on the cut edge and placed in the covers. The cover was watercolored using Derwent pencils.

all elements of the box and flowers were created with the water color paper. I love the effects you get by watercoloring one side of the paper and dabbing the back side for a hint of color. Dew Drops and watercolor completed the center. All surfaces were hand colored with Derwent and water.

The mini book in this matchbook is perfect for your wee notes , secrets, passwords...whatever small item you need to keep up with!

 Thank you for stopping by!! I hope you enjoy my card!

Hello!

3:30 AM 4 Comments


Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a cute shaped greeting card with the January New Release Bird House, my new favorite Sweet Williams Strip and the Tiny Flower Kit. Making shaped cards with the stackers is super easy. Fold your card stock and line up the fold to the inside of the cutting blade. Cut your shape. The fold will still be intact. Layer stackers on top and add you card front and embellish! For this card, I cut everything out of white watercolor paper and hand colored certain elements to match my digital image. I finished off the card with a bit of Wink of Stella glitter on the dragonfly wings, the sentiment and the edges of the flowers.

Sing a Song of Spring!

3:00 AM 2 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here to bring you into the Spring spirit! Here in Texas we just went through Daylight Savings change where we "spring" forward our clocks. We are a few days away from the seasonal change to spring and a few weeks away from the Easter holiday as well. This card will help you celebrate all things spring!
I cut the musical staff mesh border and trimmed it to the size that would fit the large Sentiment Tag 1 die. The remaining piece of diecut was then cut in half again to line up the straight lines of the music staffs. Spray adhesive made adhering the mesh to the background easy. The frame was layered with eggs and flowers to inspire the feelings of spring! I hope you enjoy my card!
