Thankful Harvest by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today. In Scotland the Farmers are now ploughing their fields and bringing in their Harvest, which made me think of this wonderful New Release die 'Thankful Harvest'. I love the versatility of it as it suits Thanksgiving cards perfectly and would also be lovely on an Autumn Birthday card or a Recipe Book project to name a few.

I cut out my centre square, highlighting the stitches with a Fineliner pen, also using my Burlap Border as a die cut and a stencil to add some extra interest on to the background.

My Wheatheads I layered twice for extra dimension adding the little bow double layered from the Mistletoe Die.

My Thankful Harvest I cut out in White Cardstock and started to shade the fruit and vegetables with my Copics and the basket I shaded with inks. I filled my Pumpkins and Pepper, layering up twice for a 3D look. My Grapes I kept all the small bits of waste, shaping them on my embossing mat and gluing back in place with a little Silicone glue to raise them up, finally added Glossy Accents to give them a sheen. My corn I had embossed with my die (TECHNIQUE HERE) trimming around the cob and shading with Copics before gluing in place.

Thanks for stopping by today and for the lovely comments you leave me. Good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Birthday Stars by Jenny Alia

Hello! It's Jenny here today. I wanted to try making a card using these new Pierced Stars from the July Release. I used three different sizes from the set and cut the centers out of two of them to get the outline. I used a magnetic shim to help with the positioning of the dies so the resulting star would have an even edge.

I used an A2 size base card to start, glued a yellow card stock mat on top, then adhered the patterned paper on top with foam adhesive. I glued three of the yellow Pierced Stars on top and popped up one with foam adhesive for extra interest. Happy and Birthday were cut and layered over the stars.

Merry Christmas With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, Its Lisa back today sharing a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs.

I know it is still summer, but it is never too early to start of Christmas cards. :)

Today, I made a shaker card using Silver Stacker Circles. The inside kraft cardstock was stamped with a sentiment and I added Pine Branches on the inside circle, on the top of the circle with pearls and behind the reindeer. The Reindeer is beautiful and part of the July new release. I added black cardstock behind the eye and colored the hoofs, belt and nose with a black copic. Then I added tiny pearls on the belt and antlers. White cardstock was used behind the ears and the beautiful scrolls of the reindeer.
