Give Thanks With Lisa Blastick

Hi everyone! It's Lisa back with a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs. This week's challenge is "Give Thanks", so I thought I would make an autumn themed card using both sets of the "Small Leaves". So many leaves to choose from and so many different sizes. There are also acorns and I just used kraft cardstock and then colored the top with a Copic marker.

When I think of autumn, I think of the leaves and the crisp fresh air. So I added some bling to represent the wind. The sentiment was stamped on "Bottles" and I added more bling to the tops. Last I added a bow to match the kraft cardstock.

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:

D133 Small Leaves #1

D134 Small Leaves #2

CABD-89 Bottles

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check out this week's challenge "Give Thanks" for your chance to win $20 at the Cheery Lynn Designs Store.

Have a great day!

Hugs Lisa

A Little Birthday Wish Card by Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi friends. It's Bonnie from Make Time to Craft filling in for Amy today with a birthday card featuring some great doily and flower dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I love to use Stick It! adhesive on all my intricate die cuts. It's a very thin adhesive that you apply to the back of your cardstock before cutting the die. You just peel and stick the adhesive to the back side of your cardstock. Then place your die on the right side of the paper and cut as usual. When your are ready to attach the die cut to your card or project, simply peel off the backing and position the die where you want it. The great thing is, the adhesive does not 'grab' immediately, so you have time to play with the positioning. When you are satisfied, simply press down firmly with your fingers or a small brayer to permanently adhere it.

My roses were created using the Large, Medium and Miniature Rose dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. I cut the pieces from dark purple cardstock and marbled momi paper, shaped the petals and created the flowers. The great thing about making your own flowers is they will always perfectly match your project. I topped the card off with a pretty double-loop bow with ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

All is Well by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi there, this is Eva here today showcasing one of our newest dies All is Well (Square). It's a perfect sentiment focal point die you'll want, I am sure.

To start out I cut two of the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames using the rust color card stock to create my card base. Then I cut a square piece out of a fun printed cork paper and backed it up with a slightly larger black paper. Then I cut one of the larger Square Frames using cream card stock, and a smaller of the same die using pumpkin color card stock. Then I die cut the All is Well die using red card stock and layered them on top of each other.

Then I die cut a Sweet Williams Strip out of navy card stock and built my pretty flower and added a yellow half pearl. I also die cut a Flourish #13 using green card stock and finally used the flourish from the Japanese Garden Lace Oval with Angel Wings die, which I die cut out of black card stock.

Hope you enjoy this card and here is the list of items I used to create this card with:

DL253 - Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames

B654 - All is Well (Square)

CAFR23 - Square Frames

CAFLRS13 - Flourish #13

B307 - Sweet Williams Strip

DL136AB - Japanese Garden Lace Oval with Angel Wings

Well, thanks for stopping by and hope you play along in our challenge this week and good luck!

Hugs,

Eva
