A Holiday Card with Cheery Lynn Designs

Greetings and happy Monday, it's my day to host the blog over at Cheery Lynn Designs.

I created a holiday card featuring the Rustic Birdhouse die for my post today. The background includes the Card Maker Scalloped Rectangle, then the Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker.

I placed the Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker in a horizontal position, then took the doily that was cut from the center of our Dutch Scallop Square. This was cut in half and glued behind.  This layer was adhered with foam squares for dimension.

A bit of cheese cloth was adhered behind the Rustic Birdhouse, then Branches were added on the left in different colors and under my bird. I tied a bit of string and made a bow to finish it. A small part of a Francesca border was cut and adhered below the house. Two of the Steampunk Corners were added to anchor the base.

Christmas in July with Cheery Lynn Designs

Happy Monday crafty friends!  It's Monday and you know what that means?  It's my day to share a project over on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog.

I can't believe it's almost July! For my project today I am playing along with our new challenge theme for this week, "Christmas in July".

Merry Christmas (5"x5" card)

I just recently ordered the Poinsettia Strip flowers and I've been so excited to use them. This weeks theme was the perfect opportunity! I started by trimming my card base to 10"x5" and folding in half to create my 5"x5" card.

Next I layered the Dutch Scallop Square, then the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker. The Sophie's Heart Mini Doily anchors my Sentiment Frame #2.  A cluster of Poinsettia's are arranged and bits of the Mega Holly Flourish are used for the leaves.

I finished the card with a sweet little gold bow and bell along with a bit of pearl and gem accents.

A Few of My Favorite Things with BoBunny!

Happy Saturday crafty peeps!  I am super excited to be up on the BoBunny blog today to share a project with you featuring the Silver and Gold collection.

I just love the classic elegance of the Silver andGold collection and wanted to showcase that elegance, while keeping it fun and a bit whimsical!

I selected a photo from last year that shows the excitement of waiting for Santa at ages 3 and 5!  I printed it in black and white so the focal point would be their expressions.  The sentiment is of course from Noteworthy and was the main inspiration that I built the overall design from. 

I cut some lacy border pieces from the Silver & Gold pattern paper, then created a border behind my green layer to coordinate the elegance of the pattern on the red background paper, The List. 

Some jewels were the finishing touch on my Toy Shoppe sign and also on the title. Make sure that you ask for this collection at your local scrapbook store!

Merry and Bright with Cheery Lynn Designs!

Happy Monday, it's my day to host the blog over at Cheery Lynn Designs!  How was your weekend?  Did you get much shopping, crafting or baking done?  As you can see by my photo's below it was really snowing here in Minnesota.

I took a bit of time to do some crafting of course.  I've got a card to share today inspired by our challenge this week, "Red and Green".

"Merry and Bright" (A2 sized card)

I started with the Kiwi Spirit Doily and layered it with the Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker that I turned vertically.  Next you'll see the Sophie's Heart Mini peeking out.  On top of it is the smallest Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker in a horizontal position that I attached with foam dots, then topped with the Sentiment Frame 1. 

Tags 4 were used to tuck under my sentiment frame for an added fun touch.  I cut the holly leaves apart from my Mega Holly Flourish and tucked them into my border, then added a little bling for the berries.

Blessed is the Season

Happy Monday crafty friends!  It's my day to share a project over on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog today.

My card for today features some of my favorite stackers, the coved rectangle and a scalloped french flair! I actually was working with a bag of my scrap cuts from various projects. Sometimes when I cut something and think I will use it, I change my mind. I save each and every one of these in a goody bag for a future project.

"Blessed" (A2 sized card)

I started with my coved rectangle, added the fence, then layered my tiny doily and scalloped french flair for the sentiment.  It was adhered with pop dots so I could layer in the leaves and flourishes.

Stepping Toward Christmas with Cheery Lynn Designs

Monday greetings to you!  It's my day to host the blog over at Cheery Lynn Designs today.

I've got a step card to share with you today with a bit of an unconventional holiday color scheme.  This card was created with our Step Card and Snowflakes dies and several of our newer release dies as well.

The Step Card die made quick work of creating the base for my card. I honestly just love this die!  Once I had my base and layers created, I inked and then stitched them down for a little added interest and texture.

I chose the Shuttered Window with Flower Box and decided to layer the Birch Tree die behind it.  I did cut the tree twice, then angled the top branches off to the side for this effect.  I modified my Bird a bit by cutting the back wing and angling it a bit, then I inked and added a coat of Glossy Accents.

Merry Christmas - Cheery Lynn Style!

Happy Monday crafty friends!  It's my day to share a project over on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog.

My card for today combined a few new dies as a feature from our October release for you.  I used the very pretty Merry Christmas Holly Sentiment  and some vines from the Lattice Hearts and Vines together to create the design here.

I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment first from some dark green papers, then once again from another pattern paper with mixed coloring.  I trimmed around the oval, then used it as a frame on top.  A little touch of inka gold gives a bit of shimmer.

I wanted to add a bit more to the design, so I cut one of the Lattice Hearts and Vines as below:

I trimmed small pieces and glued them from behind:

A layer of tulle and cheesecloth is on top of the paper, so I stitched my frame down in a few places. The sentiment was adhered with a touch of Glossy Accents from the back.

A few golden bells and holly leaves from our Mega Holly Flourish were the finishing touch, along with some little bits of red bling.  Can you believe we are only about two months away from Christmas!?
