Forever Friends by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today. This week I thought I would showcase the versatility of our Stacker dies and how by turning them round and cutting in to the die cut shapes with another stacker you are able to achieve lots of different shapes.

You will see on these photos how I cut out my shapes and inserted in to each other for my base layer.

This photo shows my next layers and how I turned the same stacker as on the first layer around 90 degrees to give a different look.

My Butterfly was heat embossed and a pearl added.

My roses were cut out in White Cardstock and shaded with 2 colours of Distress Ink.

My words were double layered for a shadow effect and the "S" was taken from my word set Happy Christmas. Finally adding some pearls, Stickles and a Leaf Flourish to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Hello & Welcome!

Corina here with you hosting the blog for today's Card Inspiration!

Fall is in the air & Christmas is right around the corner! Also right around the corner is the Cheery Lynn October New Release. Mark your calendar and make sure to check back for this New Release will be on October 15th with card designs from the whole Design Team.

For todays card, I was given the folded Christmas Pattern card base from a friend to create with. I cut the Joy to the World Wreath die three times, twice from brown cardstock and once in green. I layered them on to a Kraft cardstock circle and added three Poinsettia (create from the strip die) and greenery using the Pine Branches & Holly Leaves

I cut a Horizon Fishtail Banner for my wooden Cheers sentiment and added the wooden '25' to the lower corner of my card.

I decorated the inside of the card simply. I stamped on a Tags 4 diecut and added the holly leaves with rhinestones. I also added a matted A2 Rectangular Scalloped Frame.

Big Day with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a new card I made using a few dies that are new to me. I love how delicate and intricate this Dutch Daisy Doily Square die is and couldn't wait to play with it.

I first cut the Dutch Daisy Doily Square out of a blue-green paper. I then cut three layers using the French Flair Classic Stackers. I used the largest to cut the kraft card base and then a smaller one to back the phrase created by the On Your, Dream Big and Day words that were cut with the same blue paper used for the Dutch Daisy Doily.

The Sweet Williams Strip flowers were cut out of a cream patterned paper. The edges were colored with blue distress ink and then they were molded using a stylus and molding mat. I stacked and glued them together and then used double sided tape to adhere them to the card front. Last, I tucked in some Olive Branches and my go-to foliage, Flourish Leaf Strip die cuts and glued pearl centers on the flowers.
