Christmas Gatefold Card with Lisa Blastick

Hi! Welcome back to another card for Cheery Lynn Designs!This week we are featuring all Christmas cards....enjoy!

I wanted to make a card with doors, so I used the "Screen Door With Dog" I reversed the dog and door for the opposite side by flipping over the cardstock. There are magnets between the papers so you can close the doors or keep them open.

The sentiment is from "Winter Holiday Word". The "Wreath Strip" was cut a couple times and layered throughout the door with tiny red pearls. I also added them to the collars on the dogs.

Inside I used the "lace christmas tree". I did cut the bottom off a tad so it fit in the gatefold.

Here is one side...

The snow is liquid appliqué in white.

Here is the other side....

Carolers Christmas Greeting Card by Ginny Nemchak

Ginny @ Polly's Paper Studio 3:00 AM 0 Comments

Hey there Paper Peeps! Happy Sunday to you. It's my day to share some Christmas inspiration and I've created a sweet little greeting card with carolers, snowflakes and blingy embellishments. I've started with an A2 sized card base and layered on patterned papers. The Oval Stitched die cut makes the perfect frame for the vintage image.

I've got several dies cut in crisp white for a wintry scene. The Neighborhood Border creates a base with the Icicles nestled underneath. To complete the arrangement there's Snowflowers topped off with blingy accents and glitter for a frosty finish.

The Southern Charm Valance had a fabulous edge border that was easy to fussy cut and helps to balance the arrangement on the bottom. A simple bow with pearly center is a nice finishing touch and hides where the die cut was joined in the center.

Christmas Crafting Inspiration with Cheery Lynn Designs

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi friends. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft to share a beautiful Christmas card featuring one of my favorite dies from the July Cheery Lynn Designs release. I'm kicking off a week full of Christmas ideas, so let's get started.

It's mid-October, so you know what that means....
Time to get those Christmas cards and projects going so you are not scrambling last minute (like last year, right??). This week the Design Team from Cheery Lynn Designs is going to showcase all of their favorite Christmas themed dies to get you motivated to get started with your own projects. Head on over to Cheery Lynn Designs and take a look at the Christmas section to see all the fabulous dies that are available.

This card showcases the beautiful Christmas Wreath die set.

My card is a 5-1/2" square card and I do have several layers including a pretty white mulberry paper layer at the bottom. The inner white square that I placed the wreath on measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". That is layered on red and I trimmed a small border. Below that you can see the Square Frame die in green which is mounted on a 4-1/8" square of white cardstock.

I cut the wreath in emerald, dark green, and gold cardstock and then layered them all for added dimension. I then cut some berries from red cardstock and added them throughout the wreath. I topped it off with a pretty gold jingle bell and bow. The corners are adorned with holly in red and green.

I topped my card off with a pretty bi-color bow made with ribbons and an embellishment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Be sure to stop back each day through October 21st for more Christmas inspiration from the design team.

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

Someone Special by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card I created after being inspired by a piece of patterned paper. I layered a piece of blue card stock behind the patterned paper and then glued them to an A2 card. I created the central flower using the Black Eyed Susan Strip die. The die comes with a center that you roll with a quilling tool or maybe around a stylus or toothpick. The center of the flower adds interest and texture.

The white flowers are from the Sweet Christine die and all of the foliage is from the Floral Bouquet Kit. It's one of my new favorite foliage dies. I really like the leaf shapes and the variety that is included. It's perfect for any floral cluster. Last I double layered the Whimsical For Someone Special sentiment. I added the white card stock offset behind so the blue would stand out more. The background paper was overpowering the words without the extra white behind.
