Vintage Postal Service Card


Hello Fellow Crafters!

This weeks challenge on the Cheery Lynn Blog is Anything Goes and with that I let the dies and paper take me on a creative journey! I am happy with the result and love the details of the die cuts.

As always, I love to layer my cards to create depth and dimension. I have just purchased several of the stitch dies to add detailing to the edges of the layers. Here is a link to the Cheery Lynn Design website that shows the coordinating Stitch to Stacker sets.


Dies Used:

Fleur De Lis Square Doily - DL318

One of a Kind Sweetheart Card


Hello!

I hope you joined us yesterday for the blog hop! If you did not get a chance yet, please do so, for a chance to win a prize! The Blog Hop starts on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog from yesterdays post and it will navigate you thru.

With this weeks challenge being Sweethearts, I thought I would add a little glitter! Using the dies to cut a piece of Be Creative tape (Sookwang) backed with cardstock is simple to do. I then remove the protective covering and sprinkle the pink glitter over. Tap off excess and burnish with my finger until glitter does not come off. I layered my die cuts, stamped my sentiment, add a few rhinestones and voila!


Dies used:

Sweethearts Edger - B309

Winter Snowflake Card


Hello!

Thank you for joining me. The weeks challenge theme on the Cheery Lynn Design blog is Snowflakes! I have created numerous snowflake cards over the last few months and they all have mostly been light, bright, blue and white!

I wanted to mix it up and create a snowflake card using the background pattern paper as a colour scheme. I also wanted to play with embossing powder on my die cuts. I  embossed all of the layers of the snowflake, used foam dots to layer and added a rhinestone to the center. 


Dies used:

Snowflake Delight 1 - B608
