Merry Christmoose Card with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello friends. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft sharing a Christmas card using the adorable Merry Christmoose die from Cheery Lynn Designs. Don't you just LOVE this cute little guy?

I created a piece of mottled gray cardstock using the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink pad to use with the Aspen Forest frame die. I was going for more of a white birch tree look and I was very satisfied with the results.

The adorable moose is really easy to assemble. You cut the different pieces in the colors of your choice and then glue them together. Easy peasy. I went over the eyes, ear and mouth lines with a thin black marker to make them stand out a bit more.

I cut the sentiment twice and stacked it for a bit of extra thickness and dimension.

I adhered the grass strip to the bottom and tucked two legs behind and left two on top for a little more of a feeling of depth in the scene.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

FRM157 Aspen Forest A2 Card

B923 Merry Christmoose

B593 Grass Border

I topped my card off with a pretty bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using one of the pretty ribbons in the October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The center of the bow is adorned with a pretty Silver Stardust Rhinestone.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to get started on your holiday cards.

Hello Beautiful by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, it's JULIE here hosting the blog today.

My card uses one of the many pretty background designed Dies. I started by cutting this out in pearlised cream cardstock and mounted onto the same card to form the base of my card. Cheery Lynn's word dies come in two different sizes which are great for layouts and cards. I decided to use the smaller Die on my word Hello and the larger Die on my word Beautiful.

My Daises were cut out in the same cream cardstock adding Distress Ink onto them and Prills into the centres. I mounted them onto my Ivy Corner Flourish which I also arranged a few extra leaves using my Ivy Strip Die and finished with some Butterflies.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used-

B304 Ivy Strip

B315 Ivy Corner Flourish

DL112AB Small Exotic Butterflies #1 w/Angel wings

Crafty Hugs,

Call the papers!!! lol.....For this card I used the pretty "I Wish"collection by Maja Design.

Kerstige Groetjes: {Christmas Greetings}

This time I wanted to used the Poinsettia Strip as a focal point on my card so I cut that strip out six times and layered them to make the flowers. I first cut out every die I wanted to use on my card to later on add them to my background. I used the traditional Christmas colors for this card hope you like it.

Happy Halloween

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm Hello to you. Glad to see you here. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today. We are into October so thought I would play with some of Cheery Lynn Designs Halloween dies. This would make a nice cover page for a 8x8 mini album.

I started by using some black Halloween paper with spider webs om it and matting it with green paper.

I used the new Happy Haunts die set for the sentiment and the Spiderweb Die for the top corner. The witches hat and boots are from the Witch's Laundry set.

The Twisted Tree is one of the new dies just released. I hung some of the Witch's Laundry in twisted tree as well as a ghost. I have always like the Home Sweet Home Die and so I layered it on the bottom corner.

I hope you have some time to play with the Halloween dies. Halloween layouts and cards are always fun to make and they do make people smile.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. Have a wonderful crafty day.

Twisted Tree - 3 Piece - B904
Witch's Laundry Die - B334
