Smile Daisy Card!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying your last few days of August. Summer was enjoyable but I am ready for Fall to blow in! Fall is my favourite of the year with the beautiful reds and copper palette covering the country side.

Did you see Anita's Wednesday post on the Cheery Lynn Design blog? She used the Dimensional Large Leaves # 2  to create a leaf cluster in rich colours! If you haven't yet, you should take a peek.

I wanted to take a step away from the Christmas themed cards and crate a card using a floral die. I chose the Shasta Daisy but used the center from the Black Eyed Susan Strip.

I used the ticket die on pattern paper and tied two tickets together with twine. I adhered them on top of a Horizon Fishtail Banners. I also placed the sentiment die "Smile" on a banner. 

My Shasta Daisy was created using a light cream paper and inked with brown on the edges. I love the way the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames fit together in different configurations.


Dies Used:
Shasta Daisy - B310
Black Eyed Susan Strip - B338

Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies) - DL278

Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames - DL253

Smile (Set of 2) - B502

Rose Leaf Strip - B241

Vintage Shuttered Window Card with Corina!

Hello!

Corina here today, hosting the blog, to share my newest card creation with you all. I wanted to use my window die and create a winter themed card.

I cut pieces from the Icicles Border and adhered them to the Shuttered Window w/ Flower Box. I used pieces from the new release Joy to the World die and Wreath Strip die to create my swag.

The brown cardstock that I cut with the Horizon Fishtail Banner die - was first cut with the Old Barn Board die to give the appearance of wood.

Icicles Border - B472

Joy to the World - B481

Noel Card

 

Hello Fellow Cherry Lynn Design Fans!

 

Corina here with you today, to share my Clean & Simple Christmas card using three of the New Releases Die Designs.

 

I know I said 'Clean & Simple' - meaning clean lines and less is more approach! The die cuts play the lead role.  The card has a lot of layering and I embossed the Ornate Ornament, Noel and Dancing Snow Flurries dies all with a clear iridescent embossing powder to make them glitter.

 

I found it difficult not to embellish my card further - I love creating Cheery Lynn flowers and find my projects are not complete without at least one!

 

 

New Release Dies used:

Dancing Snow Flurries - B486

Noel - B473

Ornate Ornament w/Angel Wing - B478

 

Previous Release Dies used:

 

XM Scalloped Coved Rectangle - XM-11

Coved Rectangle-Classic LG Stackers Nesting Dies - XL-10

Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL251
