One more holiday card, this one uses nothing but die cuts from Cheery Lynn Designs and some patterned paper.  A very fun card to make. 


I began with a card base of green card stock.  I cut 2 red panels using my XL French Scallop Flair Nesting dies as well as the Merry Christmas patterned paper panel using my XL French Flair Nesting die.  Next I cut a green panel using my XL Scallop Circle Nesting die and a holly patterned paper panel using my XL Circle Nesting die.  To the holly panel I added Bird on a Branch 2 and then die cut my Poinsettia 2 dies.  I assembled all the layers added a few flourishes created from the branch die and then the embellishments around the scallops using my Pearl Pens.  Finished size is 5.75 inches square.

You know, last week I said to myself, "I'm not going to create a holiday project for my next post". Then I opened my drawer with the ton-o-unfinished alterable projects in it and found this 3 piece frame set that I purchased from Target for $2.50, earlier this year. As soon as I saw it, visions of plum danced in my head and I found myself doing exactly what I had planned NOT to do. LOL! But you know, sometimes you just have to go with the flow!


I used the 2nd smallest french flair die to cut paper and crafter's foam. I adhered the 2 together to add some dimension to the die cut. I ran the chipboard alpha through my Epic Six with the dotted swiss embossing plate to add texture and interest to my letters before inking them and adhering to the frame. I decorate each letter with a die cut snowflake and pearl.

For this card, I cut circles using the smallest die in the XL nested circles set, cut them in half and aligned them so as to create a scalloped border. I die cut snowflakes and used them to add texture to the snowflakes in the patterned paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!! Have a wonderful holiday season!!

Hello,
Kianel here with you today to show how amazing the Cheery Lynn Designs dies are!!! I just can't stop playing with those!!! Isn't that like the best christmas gift for a scrapper??
Today i am showing you a christmas card and a christmas tag i made using the dies from Cheery Lynn Designs:
I wanted to make a "window card" (as i call it, don't know the real name if there's one...). For that, i used the "french flare" stackers nesting die to make my opening in the card, and to make my frame. Then i used the "lattice 2" die twice and placed it on a transparent sheet so it doesn't break. I also used the "circle" stackers nesting die to place in the middle of the "window" and decorated it with stamp and shimmery paints.
To make the background of the tag, i inked my tag with distress and then i used the grunge metal embossing die "desert floor" and inked with darker distress color and finally covered it with shimmery paint. After that i used the "inverted scalloped circle" stackers nesting die that i inked and stamped and decorated with lace. To get a much better result on embossing with my Cuttlebug, i used the "metal adaptor plate" and the "embossing pad kit"!!! Amaaaaaazing!!!
Here are the dies i used:




That was all for me, hope you liked it, see you next week and don't forget to pop up here on the Dt blog everyday to discover the fabulous projects of my talented Dt mates!
Love from France, Kianel.

Tip: Taping the dies keeps them from moving around when you cut.



Then I adhered patterned paper and matching cardstock behind each one of the holes and messy (very messy!) sewed around each one of the circles with my sewing machine.  Then I cut three different size buttons from the Dimensional Buttons 3 die pack.  These dies are seriously amazing! One pass through the Cuttlebug (with my accessory plate) and you have a beautifully cut and embossed button!  How cool is that?! 

I spritzed the buttons with some glimmer mist, tied them up with some twine and adhered them to each of the circles. Stamp the sentiment, add pearls and a pretty little bow and you have a quick and easy card! Ta-da!

Tip: Cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of white cardstock and adhere to the inside front of the card to hide the sewing and tape.

Below are the links to the Cheery Lynn Designs supplies I used in this project so you can purchase your own! Now go forth and Celebrate Today with Cheery Lynn Designs dies and don't forget the accessory plate!
