Quilted Winter Greetings

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing with you a few more release dies and a fun quilted technique to do with the dies. I die cut the Fancy deer and the Joy To the World Sentiment from the wreath set with the Mirror Paper in Silver. I die cut my card base with an LG square scalloped stacker die and the focus square from blue and purple--two of my favorite winter crafting colors.

Cheery Lynn Dies used

Joy to the World Wreath - B481
Snowflake Doily w/Angel Wing - DL279
Fancy Deer - B485
Square - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies - XL-2
Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames - DL253

To created the quilted look I made my "sandwich" for my cutting machine with the rubber embossing plate set. Instead of two cutting pads I used just one with the embossing rubber. The die was on the plate, then the paper and finally the rubber on top and a cutting plate on top of that. I ran it through the machine and it simply embosses the pattern of the image on the paper giving it a quilted appearance! Love it!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project!

Summer Time Greetings

I have a bright and simple card today for this hot weather we are having in California.

It you can't beat it join in, right?

On the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog the Challenge is

Hot Summer Colors.

I found this image while searching for summer colors.

http://www.123rf.com/photo_1391552_colorful-abstract-background-with-hot-summer-colors-and-palms-trees.html

I liked it so much, I used it as the basis for my card.

Here is the card I have made for today's post, based on the above design.

I used the ECCENTRIC CIRCLES embossing plate to emboss the background panels of papers first.

The leaves are from the TROPICAL LEAVES set.

The flowers are the smaller flowers from JUDY'S BLOOMS.

The word "aloha" is cut from the LOWERCASE LACE SCRIPT.

The style of the card is more clean and simple than things I usually do, but I just love the over all look and think this makes a gorgeous card!

What do you think?

I hope you have a great weekend.

Modern Wedding Colors

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 3:30 AM 8 Comments

It seems to me that weddings now a days love to break away from traditional colors.

Over at Joy's Life Design Team we are making things this week focusing on the colors Orange, Turquoise and Yellow. Over on our Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog, our current Challenge is Wedding and/or Anniversary. I love combing challenges. It makes it even MORE challenging. So my challenge was to make a wedding card using the non-traditional colors, Orange, Turquoise and Yellow.

Here is what I came up with.

I started by cutting my background pieces with the Scalloped Rectangles. I embosses the Turquoise on with the Dotted Swiss Embossing Plate and the Orange with the Black Eyed Susan Embossing Plate.

I made the pears out of the smallest of the eggs in the Nesting Eggs set. I then just altered the egg to make it look more like a pear and less like and egg.

I embellished the rest of the card with Pretty Petals,

Ribbon Eyelet Border and

Flourish Leaf Strip.

The cute phrase is actually 2 parts of 2 different phrases combined to make this perfect wedding card.

Bot phrases are from a set called Yummy Puns by Joy's Life Stamps.

I hope you have enjoyed my offbeat humor in my project today.

Summertime Fun Stuff

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 3:30 AM 10 Comments

Today I have such a fun project for you to try!

I love using the Reflections Dies in their full size, but they are tons of fun when you just use the halves too!

I am using the Scalloped Oval set on this banner.

I used my digital papers from Echo Park, and created lots of bright and colorful layers as my banner base.

The top tiered portion of the banner is made with the Pennant die.

On the individual banner pieces I embellished each letter with the following dies:

Flip Flops, At the Beach and Little Pink Bicycle.

For the letters I used the Optimistic Font on top of layers of Scalloped Circles.

I love all the bright and cheery colors in this!

It is always fun for me to think of new ways to use supplies and I am very happy with how this turned out.

Now, moving on, have you checked out our new challenge on the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog?

The Challenge this week is Shades of Purple.

I came across and adorable, simple card design and wanted to make this design to show you all.

Here is the card original.

Here is my PURPLE version of the same design.

For this card I used the following dies:

Scalloped Rectangles for the card mats, Black Eyed Susans and Wood Grain Embossing Plates.

Also I used the Pennant die again because I love that die!

Lots of purple:)

What do you think you can come up with for our challenge?

We'd love to see you link up with us. Remember there is a $20.00 gift certificate to the lucky winner of the challenge!

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, this has been Jeannie with The Polka Cabana, have a great Friday.

Creative Ways to Use Your Cheery Lynn Edger Dies

Donna 3:30 AM 26 Comments

Good Morning, Donna here to show you some fun and easy ways to use the Lace Edger Die available from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I'm afraid this post is rather photo intensive and Longggggg, so grab yourself a coffee or tea, sit back and I hope you enjoy seeing the many ways you can use this die in your papercrating.

**************************

Step 1. Tape your edger die to the back of the cardstock, so you get the lovely design on the front.

Step 2. Run it through the diecutting machine (you may need to use a Grand Calibur or Big Shot Pro for this) so you get a good clean die cut of the design

Step 3. You now have a card with a fancy design at the bottom that isn't a border die added to it.

Finished Card using the Lace Edger that gives a lovely edge to the front of your card, you can also do the inside to match.

Other dies used on this card is the Miniature Rose, Large Rose, Leaf, Olive branches, Pine Branches, Spiderweb, XL Circle Stacking Die, Lace Deco Corner F, Exotic Butterflies Small ,

Black Eyed Susans XL Embossing Plate

Another way to use this Lace Edger die is to make a frame with it, as seen below

To make your frame, cut four of the edger dies out completely, then overlay them, corner to corner, you will need tape on the top and underneath to hold it together and then draw a straight line from the corner edge to the centre, and cut along that line. Do this four times and you will have a lovely frame like this to glue down onto your card.

Then decorate as you wish.

Here is my finished card....to complete my card as I didn't want to cover up the frame, I've only added a couple of the snowflake dies which I've sprinkled glamor dust onto, I've used Snowflake 5 and Snowflake 7. Snowflake dies can be used throughout the year on cards, as they make lovely embellishments to add partially behind an image or under a flower arrangement....they aren't just for winter. I also used the XL Scalloped Circles Nesting Die

Now for a third way to use the Edger die, use it as a border, by just cutting it out normally and placing it on your card as seen here.

Other dies used on this card is the Pine Branches, Olive Branches, Stacker Flower 3 and Stacker Flower 4, Judy's Bloom's, Miniature Rose, Fanciful Flourish, L Oval Stackers nesting die, L Oval Scalloped Stackers, Lace Corner Deco E

And finally.......one more way of using the Edger Die is to use it to make a lovely inside to a Book Card. (As this post is rather long already, I am eliminating the step by step tutorial on how to make the book card....if you want the step by step and measurements...please visit my blog later today)

here is the finished BOOK CARD

Other dies used on the Book Card include Exotic Butterflies Small, Lace Corner Deco F, Olive Branches, Pine Branches, Large Rose, Miniature Rose, Cherry Blossom, Sunflower, Mini Pearl Rectangle

Thanks for remaining with me till the end.........I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making all of these projects.

~hugs~

Texture fun!

Jodi 2:30 AM 17 Comments

Hello! Jodi here today with a card featuring a mix of textures.

Loving the simple beauty of the white on white cards, I decided to add a bit of elegance by combining a dainty embossed background (Petite Hearts) layered with the classy patterns of the French Lattice Small Frame. I really love the combination of the two textures together. To the right of the card I layered the Two of Hearts, adding just a spritz of Stickles to add to the delicate feel of the card.

To the left I started with the Fanciful Flourish and added a bit of foliage using the Olive Branches and SM Leaves #2. To create the flower, I layered two dies of each size of the Darling Daisies, lightly inking the edges of the petals before adhering the layers together. Notice the leaves. They were cut from white cardstock and lightly inked with Ranger distress inks. I just love the way the ink brings out the details!

I really had fun creating this flower using the Cuties #2 die! The flower is 8 layers of pink tissue paper. I cut four layers at a time….yes, remember when using tissue paper the dies will cut through a few layers at a time! I cut one layer of 4, and then a second layer of 4. Keep each layered strip together. Do NOT separate. Attach the two strips together, staggering the petals. Roll with quilling tool. Glue the ends. Fold down the petals and fluff. Enjoy your beautiful flower!

There is still time to participate in this weeks challenge for your chance to win a $20 shopping spree!

2 for 1 Card Post

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 3:30 AM 13 Comments

Today I am sharing 2 cards I made, just for this post.

On one of the cards I have used a new stamp I just got from {ippity} stamps, so I decided to use a sketch on an {ippity} challenge blog. Here is the sketch.

Here is my first card.

It is a pretty simple sketch. Since I am using some very bright and colorful papers, I kept my embellishments to a minimum.

I used the ZIG ZAG RIC RAC, Scalloped Circle and Circle dies.

Let me know how you like my flower. If I get enough responses..maybe I can do a tutorial on how I made it! Leave a response in the comments if you'd like me to do a tutorial.

Here is the card I made with my itty bitty Unity stamp set called Adventurous.

I used the same sketch. The dies I used are as follows:

Black Eyes Susans Embossing plate, Ribbon Eyelet Border, Pretty Petal, Circle dies and the center of the Celtic Fire Rectangle.

Here is a picture of them both together.

All my papers are from Momenta and all my embossing powders are by WOW EMBOSSING powders.

I am so thankful I have so many fun products to work with. I hope you enjoyed how I combined different products today and that you also enjoyed the cards I have shared today.

Be sure to say YAY or NAY to the idea of a tutorial on the flower in my first card on this post.
