I thought I would share a card I made for the 2014 Card Maker Calendar.  It was supposed to have a masculine theme, using limited supplies and complete, inside and out. 

1. Began with a 4.25 x 5.5 inch folded card base in green. 
2. Cut two brown card stock panels 4 x 5.25 inches.  Adhere one to the front and the other to the inside of the card.
3. Using the largest die from the Card Maker Rectangle Scalloped set, cut two background panels from cream card stock.
4.  Lightly apply Vintage Photo Distress ink to Foliage Embossing Plate and dry emboss onto the panels from step 3. 
5.  Using Fall Leaf Mesh Border, cut two pieces from green card stock.  Adhere to cream embossed panels with spray adhesive, trimming to match the scalloped edges.  Keep the left over pieces to use later.  Adhere to brown panels from step 2.
6.  Using the smallest Card Maker Rectangle Scalloped die, cut two cream card stock panels and then stamp or computer generate a sentiment with brown ink onto one of them. 
7.  Using the next size Card Maker Rectangle Scalloped die, cut two brown card stock panels.  Adhere panels from step 6 and then add to card inside and out.   
8.  Cut some leaves from the left over Fall Leaf Mesh Border, adhere to sentiment panel on front and add a twine bow.

Hi and Good Morning :)  Alison here again today, sharing this weeks card inspired some more gorgeous and easy to use Cheery Lynn Designs Dies.

Now wasnt this picture was taken in the last of the summer rays today ? lol  :)   

I started off using a blank 6 x 6 card base, and layered white american crafts cardstock with some scraps of lilac paper.  This cardstock  was used for all the die cuts, and it cuts like a dream.

I then created my background using the elegant  Daisy Lace Frame, and edged it with the Lady Kate Edger.  I then stuck down 2 strips from Alisons Ribbons to conceal the join.  I coloured my image with PM's and glittered the wings, and matted onto oval stackers and scalloped oval stackers.

I made the lovely sweet flowers using the  Daisy Strip die (my favourite flower die ever!) and secured with pearl and glitter brads.  The pretty dragonfly and olive branch leaves were added as a finishing touch, along with some white pearls.

All dies used on this card are:

FRM118 - Daisy Lace Frame
B278 - Lady Kate Edger
B335 - Alisons Ribbons
B259 - Daisy Strip
DL152 - Dragonfly
B147 - Olive branches
L-7 - Oval Stackers
XL - 8 Scalloped Oval

Thanks so much for visiting our blog today, and I hope to see some fabulous entries in our Halloween Challenge this week.

Hi and Good Morning everyone, Alison here again today, sharing another card created and inspired by so many gorgeous Cheery Lynn Designs dies. :)

I used an 8 x 8 inch blank card base for this card, and layered K&Co papers and white American Crafts cardstock, and a stamped image from Lili of the Valley.

I created the bottom border using in my opinion, the Most Beautiful Border Die. Ever! - Fall Leaf Mesh Border, its just stunning.  I layered it to shadow against green cardstock, and also added an additional layer of leaves in green for contrast.  The top paper panel is edged in the Anastasia Lace border, and and the base doily is the Sunflower Doily.  My image is matted onto the matching Fall Leaf Doily, and backed with green card cut from the angel wing included.

I created the flowers using the Black Eyed Susan flower strip and the smaller petals are from the Daisy Flower strip.  I sanded this coral coloured card to soften and add shading.  Finally I added some pearls for a little bit of bling.

All dies used on this card are:

B325 - Fall Leaf Mesh Border
DL249 - Fall Leaf Doily
B338 - Black Eyed Susan Flower Strip
B259 - Daisy Flower Strip
B117 - Fanciful Flourish
DL181 - Large Sunflower Doily
B136 - Anastasia Lace Border.

Have a smashing day,

I am back today to share another lovely card using Cheery Lynn Designs' gorgeous dies! The intricate designs work so well together, and then add in a handmade flower and it's pure bliss!  I used the Sweet Williams die for my flower, and always love how it turns out.  This is a 6 x 6 traditional folded card - nothing fancy, the layout of the card just tricks the eye a little.




I do hope that you will join us at our challenge this week, where the theme is Hearts a Glow.  One winner will be chosen to receive a $20 store credit. I even tucked in a few hearts on my card by using the Sophia's Heart border.
