Celebrate by Julie Lavalette

Hi fellow crafters, it's JULIE here today. I have made a shabby chic card to share with you all that would be suitable for many occasions including a Wedding, Prom and Birthday.

I scattered some Frantage over my background layer and tattered the edges for a shabby feel, adding my die cut layers. My dress I glued onto another layer of card and fussy cut around it. I then added lace to the hem and a scattering of pearls and a net shawl draped around the coat hanger for extra detail.

My Tea Roses were inked at the edges and Flower Soft added to the centres. I love these pretty flowers and how delicate they look.

Sakura Flowers with Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 2 Comments

A warm hello to you today. It's Debbie hosting the blog today from Debbie's Time Out. I hope you are finding time to relax , craft and enjoy yourself today.

I have featured the new Sakura Flower Die and the new Birthday Wishes Circle Die from May's new release.

I started with a layered green and black base. I then cut the Fiona’s Magic Mirror from some pretty flowered paper and inked it up.

Here is a close up of the Sakura Flower . It is a beautiful flower die with flowers, buds and greenery all in one die.

For the sentiment I cut the Birthday Wishes Circle Die in green and then fussy cut the circle away leaving just the "Birthday Wishes". This give you a second option using the Birthday Wishes Circle Die for another look. I layered the sentiment onto the Pierced Stacker #2 .

I hope you have been inspired and will join the Bi Weekly Challenge

Let's Grow Wise Together by Christina McIntosh

Unknown 3:00 AM 1 Comments

Hello! Today I am sharing my first Cheery Lynn Designs Project called "Let's Grow Wise Together". This is a card featuring the use of several Cheery Lynn Designs dies. Whenever I design anything I always consider the color palette and color tone family I will be using and this project was no exception. I chose soft warm tones using browns, pinks, rust reds, copper, warm muted yellows, muted dark greens and soft warm light beige. Why? Well...why not right? And without further adieu...duh, da, da, dahh...owl love card!

This card was so fun to make and who doesn't love a "LOVE" theme. It was actually the dies that drove my color choices in the first place and this design was hatched from my creative impatience to use two of my new favorite dies, the Cheery Lynn Designs Whimsical Owl Die and the Cheery Lynn Designs Whimsical Tree of Life Die from their new "Whimsical Delights" release. From there it was all about layering with other die cuts including those (small and medium Pierced Banners Dies) that would allow me to add my sentiment which I hand inked, "Let's Grow Wise Together." I wanted my main background paper to have texture and I opted for the "Fleur De Lis" embossed texture.

Thank you so very much for joining me. If you have any further questions on how this was made, please do not hesitate to add your questions in the comments area below. I would love to hear from you. I read and respond to every comment and question.

Sweet Little Baby of Mine by Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi friends. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft. I'm still having fun with the Whimsical Delights dies that were released in June. Today I'm sharing a cute baby card featuring several of the NEW dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I wanted to create a layered scene on this card and I really like the way this turned out. This die release has lots of dies that work really well together. That adorable giraffe is my favorite animal in this release!

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B798 Whimsical Tree of Life die

B792 Whimsical Lion

B793 Whimsical Hippo

B794 Whimsical Giraffe

B797 Whimsical Sun & Clouds

CABD-109 Nesting Doll Tag #1

I cut most of the dies out in two or more colors and then cut and pieced them together putting the colors where I wanted them. I also inked the edges of the animals and clouds to create depth. The hills were just made fussy cutting some green cardstock and the grass was cut out in two colors and I offset and stacked them. I tucked the animals in to the grass. Isn't that smiley sun die the best?!

I printed the digital sentiment with my computer and added it to the tag. I embellished the tag with some pink and light blue burlap string and I added a little miniature bow made with 1/8" pink diagonal stripe ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the hippo.

What is your favorite die from the June Whimsical Delights release?

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Don't forget, we have a great Pretty in Purple themed challenge going on. We'd love to have you enter for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Cheery Lynn Designs.

Birthday Wishes with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello! Can you believe it is already July 1st? WOW! Well, for me this is my favorite month with so many birthdays, my anniversary, and my favorite holiday...The Fourth Of July!!!

To celebrate all the family and friends birthdays that I know; I wanted to make a card using the fabulous "birthday wishes" in the center. It matches perfectly in the center of the "french doily".

The color purple was chosen inspired by this week's challenge "pretty in purple" The flowers are "sweet williams strip" and there is a couple layers of the "flourish leaf strip" A few pearls throughout and a double layered, triple bow on the top
