Friends Greeting Card with Bonnie Garby

Hello die cut lovers! Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a pretty note card featuring some gorgeous dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

My card today is my version of CAS. Yes, I know there are lots of layers, but it's still a clean look. This is as 'CAS' as it gets for me. <smile>

I created the paper for the butterfly die cut with a couple shades of blue Distress Ink. It gives it just a bit of added interest. The background butterfly and vine die cut is actually a border die. It's a long thin border and it worked perfectly for this card when I cut it in half and stacked it with the sentiment in the center. It's always good when you can find an alternate use for a die. It makes it worth twice as much!

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:
B401 Butterflies Among the Vines Mesh Border

CABTRF19 Butterfly 19

LPC-16 Rect Pierce & Cut Tool Lge Silver

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool with ribbon from the July Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The center of the bow is adorned with a pretty flower shaped pearl embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. For more information on the other products I used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.

Congratulations on Your New Baby Card

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi there. It's Bonnie here with you today from Make Time to Craft. I was in the mood for some pinks and purples, so I whipped up a pretty card to welcome a new baby using some pretty dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I love to use a pretty frame die for my background and today I selected the 'Quatrefoil A2 Frame 1' die. I layered that over a gorgeous piece of Distress Ink paper that I made using pinks and purples.

My pretty flower and foliage cluster was created with my all-time favorite 'Floral Bouquet Kit'. For the centers I used a plush covered button on the large flower and some gingham covered buttons on the smaller flowers. These flowers are so easy to create. Just cut them, do a little shaping of the leaves with a stylus and foam pad and then just stack them and add a center embellishment.

I topped my card off with a pretty bi-color bow made on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using 5/8" Sherbet and Royal Blue Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I added a pretty heart shaped pearl embellishment to the center of the bow. I also added a small butterfly to the right of the sentiment to balance things out a bit.
