Holiday Ornament Card with Bonnie Garby

Hi Cheery Lynn Fans. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft sharing a holiday card made with some wonderful dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I kept things pretty simple on this card since the month of December is so hectic. This card is really just cut and assemble. No inking, no shaping, just cut it out and stick it on!

Cheery Lynn Dies used:
CABD22 Christmas Ornament 2

FRM 140 Fiona's Magic Mirror
B146 Pine Branches

I backed some red and white cardstock with Stick It adhesive and cut the ornament using each color. I cut a circle in red just a touch smaller than the ornament and used that as the base. I then just peeled the backing from the Stick It adhesive and stuck the pieces on. I added the silver cording for the hanger and the bow and the ornament is done!

I cut the Fiona's Magic Mirror die in white and adhered that to my card base. Then I cut a white rectangle measuring 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" and then stacked that on a green and red layer leaving a small border on each. I rounded the corners on all the layers. I backed that with white mulberry paper and then added a strip of 5/8" Christmas Plaid ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and then added that to the card base. The ornament is added using foam dots for a little dimension. I then cut the Pine Branches and adhered them to the upper left corner. I finished it off with a snowflake embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are having a fun and crafty December!!

May Peace Be Your Gift This Christmas with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello there Cheery Lynn die lovers. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a colorful Christmas card featuring the pretty Poinsettia Strip die from Cheery Lynn Designs. I'm also including a video tutorial for the poinsettia flower below.

I love the poinsettia die because it's just so versatile. Today I'm using some digital Christmas papers from Graciellie Design for some of the layers mixed with some red Distress Ink paper I created. It's a really interesting look. I cut the layers of petals and shaped them a bit and then assembled. I then added some greenery using the Pine Branches die.

My digital sentiment is from Graciellie Design as well.

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using two 5/8" ribbon styles from the October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. This assortment is available through the end of November. I also added a little 5/8" band of forest green taffeta ribbon across the bottom of the card which has a heart shaped ribbon buckle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. How are you doing on your holiday cards?

Holiday Fireplace Card Set with Laurie Schmidt

laurie 2:00 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone, Laurie here from Stamping Up North!

My last Cheery Lynn post I shared Holiday Window cards (you can find those here) and today I'm sharing a Holiday Fireplace card set. Cheery Lynn's windows, fireplaces and doors are so fun to make cards with...and there are so many other dies that can be used to decorate them too. The fireplace actually comes with some cute stockings, candles and picture frames.

For my first card... Halloween.... I used a black fireplace and cut out a pumpkin from the Jack O' Lanterns and set him on the mantle with some Tiny Fanciful Flourishes on each side. Then I added some spooky webs behind the fire, and stamped my sentiment in black.

My second card is for Thanksgiving.

I dressed up the brown fireplace with some pillars on each side from the Wrought Iron Fence die. Then I decorated the mantle with the candles and a tiny bow from the Merry Christmas Gift Envelope set.The pumpkin is from the Fall Pumpkin Patch and comes with the pretty tiny leaf scrolls. I added a sign that says," Blessings" from the Winter Holiday Word set, and tucked a piece of the Mandy Doily underneath the fireplace for a rug.

My third card is for Christmas, and this time I used a white fireplace and cut a piece off of a brown fireplace for the base. The stockings and candles come with the set, I also added a fun sign from the Merry Christmas Gift Envelope set. I tucked some Pine Branches on each side and a bit of holly on the top. The holly is from the Christmas Wreath set, which I use a TON! It's just the right size to decorate bells, trees, hats,etc...I love it!

Thinking of You Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Good morning everyone.

Today I would like to share another card with you all. This time it's a "Thinking of You" card! While I was making this card I was thinking of my grandmother who passed away January 2014 and how she was always the light in everyone's life, so this is a happy card to celebrate her life. This card was made with the lovely renewed "Sofiero"collection by Maja Design. When I got my last DT package from Cheery Lynn Designs, I got the pretty B469 - Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath to play with. Yes this die is amazing and you can used it for so much more then Halloween.

Thinking of You:

I added some stitching around the flower sheet to give my card more dimension. Also I added some shimmer sprays only it's not that visible on this picture sadly.

Merry Christmas Shaker Gift Bag by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here and today I am sharing some Christmas inspiration using our wonderful Shaker Dies on a gift bag measuring 8" x 10" approx excluding the handles, which I have decorated. So let me take you through the techniques on my die cuts.

I used the Lattice Valance Border at the sides of my bag gluing onto a red strip of card and then mounting onto my cream cardstock, finishing with a border of Red Stickles.

I started my centrepiece by cutting my large Snowflake in half and accenting behind my stacker layer. My Shaker Bells were heat Embossed with an Antique Copper, rubbing a little black Archival ink at the edges to age them. I filled one with Shaker Confetti listed below, small beads and Micro beads, mounting the other to the side as an accent of bells ringing.

My Poinsettia's were cut out in cream cardstock inking at the edges and adding a mix of Micro beads to the centres. My Robin was shaded with Distress ink and black Liquid Pearls added for his eye.

I added a lot of foliage onto my design and finished off with some Liquid Snow and Glass Glitter for a frosty look that glistens so lovely when it catches the light.

My Merry Christmas was heat embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder for more sparkle. Finishing my bag off with a pretty bow and an accent of lace.

Merry Christmas Fancy Fold Card by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

A warm Hello to you today. Nice to see you here. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time out to share a Christmas card with you.

I have always like the design of this style of card. You can really get lots of depth and layers with these card bases.

Just look at these beautiful Christmas Bells with the bow that Cheery Lynn Designs released a short while ago for this Christmas season. There are more dies in this set as well.

Here I have used the Merry Christmas layered on the back of the base. I have layered part of the Winter Neighborhood Border on the back layer. The Poinsettia I have offset and layered onto the first and second layer of the card. A few beads were added to the center of the poinsettias. I hope I have inspire you to try out creating cards with different styles of card bases. The dies always look great on these styles of cards. Have a wonderful day.

Christmas Floral Arrangement by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi! It's Jenny hosting the blog today sharing a Christmas card I created with some new-for-me dies. I saw a card online that inspired me and I knew I needed to find a candle die so I could make a Christmas floral arrangement. Cheery Lynn had the perfect candle die!

I cut the candle three times using white paper. I used a combination of yellow and orange glitter glue to create the glittery flames. The frame is a new die for me too. It comes in a set and makes such a delicate addition to this card. I wanted the card to feel as though the flowers were almost popping through a picture frame, bringing a Christmas painting to life. I'm not sure I managed that look exactly but I think I'll be using this frame die often in future projects.

I created the flowers using the poinsettia die. The holly leaves came from the Holly Leaves die and the pine branches are the larger two branches from the Pine Branches die set.

Merry Christmas by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here and today I am showcasing some of the fabulous Christmas dies on my Festive Vintage styled card.

I started by layering up several of my stacker dies with foam strips between some layers and glued flat on others. My gold edging was created by rubbing my die cut on my Versamark ink pad and heat setting Gold Embossing Powder.

My Holly Flourish and Sentiment were also heat embossed, adding some red bling to look like berries. I love the size of this sentiment as it makes a great feature on your card.

My Poinsettias were cut out in cream cardstock inking at the edges and adding Gold Flowersoft to the centres. I mounted onto my card with some foliage.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel inspired to start making your Christmas Cards. Good luck to everyone entering our Bi-Weekly Challenge.

Nostalgic Christmas by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. This week our Challenge is Non Traditional Christmas Colours and I thought it would be fun to join in.

All my die cuts on my card were heat embossed with different powders from Sparkly ones to Glossy ones. My main image I sprinkled a little White Powder for a snowy effect and heat embossed around the edges to frame my image, mounting onto a little Cheesecloth.

My Snowflowers are layered in two different shades and I trimmed the top die cut layer at the outer points of the Snowflake to give a graduation effect on my Snowflower adding a Gum Drop to the centre.

My Deer were heat embossed with a Glossy Powder and mounted onto a pink shade of cardstock at their bodies, I then trimmed around the outline of my deer. This made my Deer pop on the design and easy to cut around with having a raised surface.

I tattered the edges with my scissors adding some Distress Ink and Glitter Embossing powder to the edges.

Cheers Card by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello & Welcome!

Corina here with you hosting the blog for today's Card Inspiration!

Fall is in the air & Christmas is right around the corner! Also right around the corner is the Cheery Lynn October New Release. Mark your calendar and make sure to check back for this New Release will be on October 15th with card designs from the whole Design Team.

For todays card, I was given the folded Christmas Pattern card base from a friend to create with. I cut the Joy to the World Wreath die three times, twice from brown cardstock and once in green. I layered them on to a Kraft cardstock circle and added three Poinsettia (create from the strip die) and greenery using the Pine Branches & Holly Leaves

I cut a Horizon Fishtail Banner for my wooden Cheers sentiment and added the wooden '25' to the lower corner of my card.

I decorated the inside of the card simply. I stamped on a Tags 4 diecut and added the holly leaves with rhinestones. I also added a matted A2 Rectangular Scalloped Frame.
