You'd think that I would have thought to create a New Year card this week considering that big celebration is just around the corner now... ah, but instead all I can think about is how much I want it to be sunny and bright!  Given the fact that it is neither sunny nor bright right now in Michigan (snowy and bright... yes, SUNNY, no), I decided to create this little sunshine mini card instead using the two largest French Flair dies and believe it or not, the Poinsettia 2 die as well.  I just love that die and wondered if by simply changing the colors used if I could make a more spring-like flower rather than the traditional Christmas flower that it is. I so enjoy when it is possible to use seasonal products for times other than the actual season the product was intended, if you know what I mean.

 
To create this quick and easy card. I used the largest XL Stackers French Flair die and cut it out from some rustic white cardstock. I then used the next smaller die to cut my patterned paper and adhered them together and scored it in half to create the mini card. Next I cut the Poinsettia 2 die out from green, yellow and rustic white to create my "Spring" flower. I added some gems for a bit of bling and attached the sentiment on a piece of scrap cardstock. I love that Cheery Lynn Designs dies make it possible to create a quick and easy card that is so pretty too!

Enjoy the rest of your day and don't forget to come back again tomorrow for more inspiration from the Cheery Lynn Designs Design Team!

Bonjour!
Kianel here with you hoping you had a wonderful christmas time!
Here's a card i made to send you all my christmas wishes using the terrific Cheery Lynn Designs dies:


Have a nice week and forget to pop by on this blog everyday to discover the fantastic creations of my DTmates! Love from France, Kianel.

Eek...we are two days away from Christmas! Time has gone by so fast but you still have time to make a few original handmade touches to add to your gifts.
Today I want to share a few gift tags I made using beautiful Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Cheery Lynn Designs has a wonderful assortment of beautiful Christmas dies to choose from. I love all of the intricate details in each die.




For this first one I used the dots/lines embossing plate, the french flair nesting die, the floral heart die, and the poinsettias die. I added my own ribbon and glitter to bling it up a bit.




I created this tag using the decoration 2 die, large window die and the buttons 3 die. Again I added lots of glitter and the word "dad" using the optimistic font die set.


For my last one I made this ice skate by adding a simple paper clip at the bottom to resemble the blade. I jazzed it up by threading in some "lace" and of course the beautiful poinsettias die makes it look very festive and merry.
Well, that's it for me today. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and may you have time for jolly crafting.
