A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out.


With the cozy red plaids and deer so popular this year for Christmas decorations I thought I would create a card using both.  I have inked, distressed and layered my background. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the  Winter Holiday Word  set. I added the snowflake from the Snowflake Set 2  set. The some holly leaves were added from the Holly Lace Flourish .



Now for this cute reindeer. I cut him out from the Reindeer Fun  set then layer different colors behind him and the trimmed him up a bit.  It doesn't show in the photo, but I popped him up quite a bit so he really stands out as my focal point.  Now this makes for a beautiful masculine card too.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and for all the comments you leave.
Have a great crafty day my friends.

Hello all!  It's Christmas Theme Week on the Cheery Lynn Design blog and today I am sharing a project using my favorite Cheery Lynn Designs Christmas and Winter die designs.


It's that time of year again that always seems to just fly by, but is filled with fun, friends and family.  I personally have always loved this time of year and although some years are easier than others to get in the holiday spirit, I have to admit I love all that the end of the year holidays bring...baked treats, pumpkin yummies, festive lights, sparkle, the smell of pine and cinnamon and spending quality time with the ones I love.  Time to really get our craft on...right?!  Us artsy craftsy people will be busy making special cards, gifts, themed baskets, special memory books, party and holiday decorations and more.  Today I am sharing a festive card spreading that oh so important message of peace.

We could all use some more peace along with joy and plenty of love!


I like the elegance and simplicity of this color scheme which is a dark matte metallic silver and gold.  Throw in the lovely Cheery Lynn die cuts and some glitter and voila...we have ourselves a merry and festive creation that can be used for either Christmas or New Year's.

Me and dimensional flowers have become BFF's of late so I just had to use this lovely Cheery Lynn Designs Poinsettia die.




Cheery Lynn Designs has a wide variety of Christmas dies to choose from.  These are just a few of my favorites.  Head on over to Cheery Lynn Designs and take a look at the Christmas Section to see all the fabulous dies that are available.  I hope I have helped even if just a little tiny bit to inspire you with some ideas for a holiday card or other holiday themed project.

Thank you so very much for joining me!  It means so much that you stopped by.  Please feel free to ask any questions you would like and as always your comments, thoughts and ideas inspire me to keep on crafting so by all means share in the comments section.

Hello all you Cheery Lynn fans.   It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out.  Christmas is getting closer all the time and with the last new release having some Christmas dies I have decided to create a Mr. & Mrs. Snowman card.




I wanted to go non traditional colors and thought this plaid paper would work great. I layered the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2  in the center and then layered the Heart to Heart Doily  on top of it. That made my base to build on.


Here is the Mrs. snowman with her fashionable scarf, mitts and hat from the Build A Snowman  set . I have added a bow to her hat as well as the sentiment "Peace" from the Winter Holiday Word .


And then there is Mr. Snowman also from the Build A Snowman  set. I must say he is also very fashionable and cool with his sunglasses and pipe. The broom is so nicely detailed too. The sentiment "JOY" is also from the Winter Holiday Word  set.



Here they are together as a couple with the Merry Christmas sentiment layered from the Winter Holiday Word  set. This set really does have a nice variety of different sentiments. I added the Judy's Blooms  flower just because it matched the colors so good and I rather like it rather than always using snowflakes on Christmas cards. Last I tucked in pieces of the Dancing Snow Flurries  for filler and more glitter. I hope I have inspired you to get a early start on your Christmas cards. I know I usually leave mine until the last minute then feel rushed.

Cheery Lynn Designs has just release some wonderful new Christmas dies. I am featuring this new Fancy Reindeer 7 Piece Die Set  which is one of them . They are so nicely detailed.
My base is a Bendi Fold which really enables you to get a lot of layers and dimension. I layered the Oval - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies and Polynesian Sails Oval and added it to the top of the card for more shape and background. I embossed all the card pieces  with the Snowflake Flurries  before assembling it.


Here you can see all the detail on the Fancy Reindeer . I layered the Icicles Border along the curved part of the card. The trees are from the Camping Die Set . They make awesome winter/ Christmas trees too. The Happy Winter sentiment is from the new Winter Holiday Word 6 Piece Die Set. I cut up one of the  Dancing Snow Flurries into pieces and layered it here and there.


The reindeer head was layered to the center of the oval piece. And the Snowflake Set 2 where layered together and layered onto the top.
