Cherish Cards with Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 2:30 AM 2 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

I am so happy you decided to visit our blog today. I would like to show you two simple cards that you can make for any occasion if you only change the word that is added. For these cards I used four dies and two Maja Design collections "Vintage Romance"{the newest collection} and "Life in the Country"! I did that so you can see it in two different colors schemes and to show you that you can use any papers you prefer.

Cherish:

As you can maybe see, I cut out the B776 - Sakura Flower twice for both cards and added the extra color on top of it. Later I added star dust Stickles {oh boy I just love that stuff} to give it more shimmer and also some twinkling tinsel spray from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I also added some flat back pearls to the FRM132 - French Lattice Small die to give it more depth and give it that extra touch. Now you see that you can make two of the same cards and they totally look different only because you used another paper collection.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

CM-3 - A6 Metric Card Stackers Rectangle Classic {set of 6}

FRM132 - French Lattice Small

B776 - Sakura Flower

B415 - Cherish {set of 2}

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

Thanks too for the lovely comments you always leave on my posts. I enjoy reading them a lot ;-) I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies. If you love the Cheery Lynn Designs dies I used, you could always enter our bi-weekly challenge to win a $20 shopping spree.

This time it's challenge #230 "Lots of Layers Theme" I can't wait to see your work, there are a bunch of amazing entries already you still have some time to enter, enjoy creating!

You are the Best by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello, this is Eva here and today I have a fun card to share with you with one of our newly released dies.

To create this card I cut an A2 size card base horizontally. Next I cut a smaller size rectangle to fit on my card front out of patterned paper. Next I die cut a Fiona's Magic Mirror out of glittered gold card stock and adhered it to the card front. Next I die cut a Dutch Daisy Oval Doily out of light blue card stock and die cut the brand new You're The Best die out of cream card stock and adhered it to the doily.

Next I die cut a Small Gardenia out of pink card stock and built my flower and added a yellow half pearl in the middle. Next I die cut the flourishes from the Floral Bouquet Kit Die set and also the Flourish #13. Finally I die cut the Feathers from water color card stock and painted them in and added them to my floral piece.

Hope you like this happy little card and here is the list of items I used to create it with:

B780 - You're The Best

FRM140 - Fiona's Magic Mirror

DL306 - Dutch Daisy Oval Doily

B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit Die set

B433 - Small Gardenia

CAFLRS-13 - Flourish #13

CABD-62 - Feathers

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your creations in our most current challenge!

Hugs,

Eva

Imagine with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, Jenny here today. I am enjoying playing with the May new release background dies. Today I'm sharing another way they can be used. For this card I cut a piece of stencil plastic with the Chevron die. Then I used my new stencil with a white crackle paste to create the subtle background. I sprinkled silver and gold chunky glitter and mica powders on the paste while it was wet.

Imagine was cut out of gold shimmer paper. The white layer was matted onto silver and then a light blue A2 card. The Sakura flower was colored with distress ink and Copic markers, I used glitter glue and a clear gloss to embellish the flowers. Last, I added a gem to the center of the large flower. The flower was adhered to the paper with double sided foam adhesive.
