Tree Shaker Card by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing some Festive inspiration using the new Christmas Tree shaker die. I have made this card in mind that many of us like to make a lot of Christmas cards, so this is a design that won't take too long to make. My card measures 4 and a half inches square, this is smaller than my usual square cards I make.

My Christmas Tree was coloured with a mix of Distress Powder and a sparkly powder and filled with Metal Confetti, Micro Beads and Glass Glitter.

All my sparkly and snow layers were made by heat embossing with different colours of powder after die cutting them out. This takes a little longer to do but has the advantage of your glitter staying in place and not falling off.

In answer to your question Gail Lass, how do we manage not to have the glitter sticking to the acetate ? left in our comments on Blog Hop Day. I use Glass Glitter inside my shakers which is less static and our metal confetti doesn't hold a static charge. I also keep the protective paper over my acetate as I die cut it and only pull off as I am ready to glue in place. This way the acetate is not picking up static charge from your body. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments on Blog Hop Day, I loved reading them all. It would be great to see you sharing your creativity with Cheery Lynn Dies in our Bi Weekly Challenge with a chance to win a $20 Shopping Spree.

Be Happy by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 3 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today. I am featuring another of the newly released sentiment dies called "Be Happy".

I was trying to think outside the box and thought why not use the sentiment in place of the sunflower. Not sure what you will think but I kind of like it. It's just something a little different.

The Whimsical "Be Happy" sentiment I cut three times out of cardstock and layered them so it was more like chipboard. I inked it up with a couple of colors of distress inks. The flower part of the die I offset and shaped. I then placed the sentiment on the stem and leaves of the Sunflower Set instead of a flower for something different. The background was embossed with the Black Eyed Susans .

I cut two of the Nested Flower Pots and cut the rim off one so I could do a double layer on the rim for added dimension. I place the cats from the Kitty Kitty Meow Meow set in front of the pot.

I invite you now to come join the Bi-Weekly challenge

Sending Love to You with Bonnie Garby

Hi everyone. It's Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft with a card showcasing the amazing new Sunflower die from the January 2016 Cheery Lynn Designs new release.

This die is really a 'show-stopper'. I cut the sunflower twice in dark yellow cardstock and lightly inked the petals and the flower center. I also used a stylus tool to shape the petals. Then I layered the pieces offsetting the petals. I added the stem and leaves under the flower and 'planted it' in one of the nested flower pot dies. For the flower pot I cut two pots and I cut the top rim off the second piece to layer on top to give some added dimension. I also inked the edges and shadows on the pot.

I used the Fleur de Lis Border Set to add a little interest around the outside of my cream base. The sentiment was stamped and then cut with the largest Pierced Banner die. I lined up one side, cut half way and then turned the die around, lining up the holes on the side and cut the other half. This gave me the dove tail look on both ends.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

XL-24 Nested Flower Pots

B663 Sunflower Set

B680 Fleur de Lis Border Set

DL303 Pierced Banners

You know how I love to finish my cards off with big bows, but this time the sunflower wanted to take center stage. I added a small loopy bow made with burlap string to the bottom of the card above the sentiment. It added a nice rustic look to the card.
