Good Monday morning Cheery Lynn Designs blog readers!!

It's Tanisha here and I am excited to share today's project because it was published in Paper Crafts Magazine's newly released, Card Ideas For Paper Crafters.


I embossed the front panel of the card using the Dots/Lines embossing plate. After adding patterned paper strips to the front panel, I used one of the Classic Circles Nesting dies to cut a circle which I adhered using pop dots. I die cut the Grad Hat, which is now deeply discounted in the clearance sale section, and then added it to the circle.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

This Monday has crept up on me and once again it's my turn to post here on the blog. Last week, I showed you how to use bits and pieces of your die cuts and this week, I'm going to show you how to "stretch" one.

I used the 5 5/8" x 5 5/8" French Flair die on this 8x8 layout to highlight this photo of my son on the day of his Kindergarten graduation.

The die cut was a little shorter than I wanted, so I cut the bottom portion off and then adhered the entire piece as shown below. I adhered a strip of striped patterned paper over the gap and then added the rest of the elements to my page as normal.


Below are the products that I used on this layout:
