Let's Talk with Rhonda

Happy Monday to you! Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I was inspired by this week's new challenge theme, "Anything Goes" for my project. I really love the Dripping Butterfly die and built my card around this die. I find it to have so many uses, particularly for any kind of project that conveys emotion.

To mix things up a bit, I selected a 5" square card base in kraft. The Princesses Garden Window Frame was used and the layer behind it you can see the Dutch Scallop Square Frame peeking out.

I've listed my dies below for you in the layered order they appear on my card. I love how they all layered together to create such a pretty space for my Dripping Butterfly. I did add some Waterfall Stickles to my butterfly and some goosebumps bling as well.

I cut my Sophie's Heart Mini doily in half and attached behind the Scalloped Coved Rectangle.

Home for the Holidays with Rhonda

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

I've got a holiday themed card to share with you today with a bit of masculine appeal I think. It's really fabulous how Cheery Lynn Designs dies can be ultra beautiful with florals and flourishes with lace touches, but the details in our other dies are equally amazing.

"Home for the Holidays" (3.5" x 5.75" Tent Fold Card)

The inspiration dies for my card were the Screen Door with Dog and Pine Branches dies. I had a scrap tiny doily left over and thought it might make the perfect base for creating a holiday wreath. I just bent my pine branches a bit to fit them around the doily and adhered them with a touch of glossy accents.

Once I had them in place, I used a touch of white ink and diamond stickles to give the feeling of snow. The dog here is cut from a cereal box and is a nice sturdy chipboard, then I inked him.

I used two layers of the Tiffany Border behind my door panels.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
Screen Door w/ Dog - A2165
Ankara Lace Border - B332
Tiffany Border - B137
Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames - DL271
Pine Branches - B146
French Pastry Tiny Doily - DL234

Emphasize your Dies with Rhonda

"Always" 12x12 Page

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

Today I have a page to share featuring a few of my favorite Cheery Lynn Designs dies along with some new Quick Quotes papers from the September Club Q kit. I love how the pretty details of the die cuts are emphasized against the black card stock background here. They also mimic the pattern and feel of the papers that were used.

I did a bit of cutwork in the pattern of the papers and used that as my designs foundation along with the stamped coffee marks. The large doily is the Sophia's Heart Doily and anchors my framed photo with a bit of cheesecloth layered underneath to further emphasize my stamped design. To build on the circular emphasis, I pierced in a few circle patterns in the background.

To accent my chipboard I layered a Sophie's Heart Mini doily underneath. I also tucked in the Sophia's Heart Border above the larger grey banner. A bit of flourish bling, enamel dots and a few sequins and flair round out the page. I love the big impact that these pretty dies make on a page!

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:

Sophia's Heart Border - B333

Sophia's Heart Doily - DL184

Sophie's Heart Mini - DL238

Don't forget there is still some time to play along and enter the "Things with Wings" challenge. There is a chance to win a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.
