Just For You by Debbie Brownmiller

Hi, it's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out. Glad to see you here. Today I am sharing a card with flowers. To me flowers always make for a beautiful card to give to that someone special.

I started the base of this card by embossing it with the Hearts and Rose Leaves Embossing Plate .
It is always nice to have that extra texture on the base of your cards.

I then layered the Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily to one side of the card and the Southern Charm Valance Die at the top and bottom of the card.

The Mini Flourish One was used as a background for the flowers and leaves. The flowers are the Chrysanthemum Strip inked up with distress inks for color. The leaves were cut from the Build a Flower #2 and tucked in behind the flowers. A pearl was placed in the center of each flower to finish them off .

I cut the sentiment "Just For You" from the Just For You Oval Die . I then traced the outer edge of the die onto the purple paper and fussy cut it out to place behind the sentiment. The XOXOXO were placed along the bottom of the sentiment.

I would like to thank you for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I hope I have inspired you to play with some of Cheery Lynn Designs flowers. They have a huge variety of flower dies to choose from.

Valentine's Teddy Bear Card with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi friends. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft. Today I have a sweet card to share that will be perfect for the one you love. Cheery Lynn Designs has so many wonderful Valentine themed dies to choose from. Be sure to head over and take a look at all the options.

My card base is a brown 5-1/2" square. I cut the fancy Square Frame in cream cardstock and then adhered it to brown, pink, brown, mint and brown layers, leaving a thin border for each. I then backed that with natural mulberry paper and attached it to the card base.

Then I cut the smaller Square Frame and layered it up again much the same as the base. Then this was centered on point and adhered to the base layers.

I cut my Teddy Bear in brown and shaded with distress inks. I added pink to the ears and paws and black for the nose and eyes. I cut it again in pink so I could have the heart in pink and adhered this to the bear. I also shaped the bear a bit with a stylus and foam pad for a little dimension. I adhered the bear on foam tape for added dimension.

I cut the XOXOXO die in brown and adhered it to cream cardstock and then brown leaving a small border on each. I then adhered that below the bear. I also added a couple of the Sweetheart Candies shaded with distress ink on each side of the sentiment.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

CAFR23 Square Frames

B674 Be Mine Teddy Bear

B675 Sweetheart Candy

B375 XOXOXO

I finished my card off with a pretty bi-color bow using Pearl Pink and Sherbet Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It's the perfect addition to balance the card and add a little interest.
