Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Cheery Lynn Fans. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a masculine birthday card I created with some great dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

The truth of the matter is, I struggle when making masculine cards. I'm more of a pink and purple with lots of flowers girl, but that just doesn't work with cards for men. Clean lines seem to be the way to go.

For this card I pulled out my Electric Guitar die and Nesting Doll Tags 1 which are both ON SALE NOW, so if you like them, head on over and grab them for your stash.

I cut the guitar in a shimmery metallic and then added the accents in the different colors. The tag was embelllished with a bit of brown burlap string.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. What are your favorite go-to dies for making masculine cards?

Don't Slam the Screen Door!

Happy Saturday! Cherry here for the CLDB! I have a card to share today.

I used the Screen Door die for my main focal point. Such a cute die with a real screen!! Too add more dimension I added thick foam to the back side of the door and the kitty cat.

I added the tags #1 and stamped a sentiment.

I love the kitty cat!

I gave the edges a bit of ink for aging. To frame out the door I used the Dutch Doily rectangle frame.

That screen is the cutest!!!!!

Thanks for visiting, Cherry

Summer Vacation Begins NOW!!

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi friends. Wouldn't it be nice if your summer vacation did begin now? Hopefully it won't be too long until your vacation begins....

Bonnie here from Make Time to Craft today to share another summer themed card with you. If you have not yet hopped along in our Summer Themed Blog Hop, it's not too late. Hop along and comment for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Cheery Lynn Designs.

A secluded desert island seems like the perfect vacation spot to me! I would love to unplug and have a week (or six) with sun and silence..... mmmmmm.

My card started with a 5-1/2" square card base. I then cut a smaller 4-3/4" square panel which I backed with white mulberry paper and then attached to the card base. Next was a layer of printed cloud paper slightly smaller and I created an aqua paper using a couple of colors of distress ink to represent my ocean water.

I then cut my 'Message in a Bottle' island die set in two colors of green, brown and kraft and selected the different parts I needed from each color. I inked the edges of the tree tops and island for more depth. I stacked the different colors of green for the tops of the trees and then assembled the scene. My adorable sun was cut in yellow and orange and stacked and adhered to create the layered sun. I then placed the island in the center of the card over the ocean and added the sun to the top left corner.

My digital sentiment was cut with the Nesting Doll Tag die and then I added a layer of aqua cardstock leaving a small border. I added some natural burlap sting to the tag and adhered it to the bottom left corner.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

C141 Message in a Bottle

C164 Sunny Smile

CABD-109 Nesting Doll Tag #1

I finished my card off with a little bow made withe natural, yellow and orange burlap sting from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. It's time to set aside a few crafty minutes for yourself and create your own summer projects. Happy crafting!

Caring Thoughts Card with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi everyone, it's Bonnie again from Make Time to Craft. Today I'm filling in for Amy and I'm showcasing some more of the wonderful May New Release Dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I'm really loving the new frame and flower dies. This card features the Sakura Flower die which was a favorite from our Blog Hop. I cut the die twice - once using green cardstock which I used as the base and a second time using a piece of watercolor paper colored with Ken Oliver Colorburst pigments. I snipped the flower portions off from this die cut and glued them to the green base.

I chose to make a white on white muted background by cutting the Quatrefoil frame from white and layering it on a white background. I love the subtle look this creates.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

FRM154 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2

B776 Sakura Flower

XL-20 Pierced Stacker #2

CABD-109 Nesting Dolls Tag #1

The Sakura flower is mounted on the Pierced Stacker #2 which is layered over coordinating ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The small sentiment was cut out using the Nesting Doll Tag and trimmed with some baker's twine and burlap string.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Don't forget, there is still time to enter our current 'Red, White and Blue' themed challenge for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Cheery Lynn Designs.
