Love Bug by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, its Julie here hosting the blog today and I have made a fun card that would suit a variety of themes from passing a driving test, a Birthday or just to send love.

I started by adding all my base layers to my card and made up some Sweet Christine Flowers by folding the petals in half and pressing the flower in the centre on my Embossing mat. I added four layers and a gem into the centres and glued in place over my lace diecut strip. I just adore these flowers, they are quick to make and very effective.

My word was drop shadowed and glued in place with Silicone Glue to add extra dimension.

I added an accent onto the corner with another flower and a couple of keys cut from Gold Mirri Board.

My Hippy Mobile I cut out in patterned paper and glued in place onto white card which was fussy cut around the die cut. I added Glossy Accents onto the lights and windows, I shaded the body of the car with a Copic Pen and paper pieced my wheels and the sun visor in a co-ordinating colour.

Thanks for the Fabulous Time Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

At the moment I am totally into making Autumn cards, I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the pretty paper collections & dies I get to work with!

For this card I used two new paper collections from 49 and Market named "Scents of Nature"and "Looking Through". In the last one there are these lovely fairy & mushrooms pictures that you can cut out. That got me thinking I had those cute mushroom dies that I wanted to use for a long time and it totally was a wonderful fit for this card.

Thanks for the Fabulous Time:

Oh how I love that B296 - Tiny Bubbles Borders die it can be used for serveral occasions such as summer cards/layouts but also fall, spring and winter projects. This time I added some mixed media products like sprays by Lindy's Stamp Gang and that amazing "bubbles stamp" by 49 and Market {designed by Gabrielle Pollacco who was a guest designer here some time ago}.

The thanks stamp is by Joy design! The flower is made by two flowers that I have combined. I wetted the flowers and wrinkled them a little and then I dried them. Underneath the flower I added the gorgeous B179 - Iris Leaves & B206 - Mini Leaf Set that I got in my latest DT pack.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:
XL-2 - Square Scalloped Stackers Nesting Dies
B296 - Tiny Bubbles Borders
B365 - Faerie Mushrooms
B259 - Daisy Strip

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day....

Happy Mother's Day by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you from Debbie's Time Out. I want to wish all you Mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow. So here is a Mother's Day card that I am sharing with you.

I made a fancy fold card from black cardstock for my base. The back piece I covered with polka dot paper and the front layer of the base I covered with a pattern paper with dress forms on it.

I used the Mirror Die as a background for my sentiment to be printed on. I then added the corner from the Quadrafoil Tag under the sentiment. The Dragonfly was layered onto the top corner.

The flower arrangement was created using the Floral Bouquet Kit , Black Eyed Susan Strip ,Judy's Blooms and the Embellishment #1 .

Well that is it for this time. Thank You for visiting the blog and for the comments you leave. They are so appreciated. Have a crafty day my friends.

Goodbyes....With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 0 Comments

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

So many times I need a last minute card for a loss for someone. I have used this sentiment in the past for a colleague leaving. Yet, I was thinking that it is a beautiful sentiment for a loss of a loved one or a pet. That was my inspiration using the beautiful angel "wings"

The oval "mirror mirror doily" has such a detailed frame and the perfect inside for any sentiment. When I think of a loss I often think of the color green....I guess back to earth....

Closer views.

Sharing the paw print stamp with the detailed "circle".

Sorry about the color changes.....late in the evening....

Added a few pearls and ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hope you were inspired but not saddened....

Have a great Friday!

Hugs Lisa

Basket for Mom

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Well this should have been an Easter basket but I'm a day late and a dollar short as they say, so I turned it into a Mother's Day basket filled with my Mom's favorite chocolates! She'll love it!

To start my design, I used Coved Rectangle Stitch Nesting Set - SM Silver Stitch Nesting Set 6 Piece Die Set - MS10 to cut panels for the front and back of the basket. I just cut rectangles for the side panels and used a corner chomper to memic the coved corner on the front panels. Then I added Border #7 Die - CABRD7 in the center. I cut a little tag with the smallest of the Horizon Fishtail Banners 3 Piece Die Set - DL278 and stamped a simple greeting.

I used several different flower dies (listed below) to make the flowers that embellish the front and back panels. I always like to tuck in a few leaves to my floral clusters and one of my favorite dies for making leaves is Flourish Leaf Strip 5 Piece Die Set - B178.

The handle is "gussied up" with more flowers, a seam binding ribblon and beautiful flourishes cut with Flourish #1 Die - CAFLRS1.

On this side view you can really see how pretty that leafy flourish looks cascading down the side. The papers I used are from Graphic 45's DCE Once Upon a Springtime. The pinks and greens are perfect for this springy Mom's Day project don't you think?

That's it for me today! What are you making for your Mom for Mother's Day?
