Reason I Smile Tag


Hello and Welcome!

I decide to create a tag this week instead of a card. I hope you like it!


I used the Pierced Stacker #3 to cut the coloured stamped image. I also cut the matte using one size larger stacker die from dark gray cardstock.

The smallest Pierced Banners was cut from light gray cardstock and stamped with my sentiment. I attached the banner to the top right corner with a tiny stapler and trimmed.


The bottom portion was cut using border dies. The Curved Border was cut on an angle, using 2 dies from the set of 4, then highlighted with a black pen. I used one die from the Deutschland Border Set on the very bottom and also used tiny staples to mimic the design. 


Dies used:

Birthday Card

Hello Crafters!

Today's card was inspired and started by a white piece of card stock that I sprayed with a variety of glimmer mists in pewter, sand, blue, turquoise and old gold.


As you can see by the photo above, I cut a circle out of the sprayed cardstock using a stacker die from the Circle Classic - Silver set. I used the New Release Fleur De Lis Doily die to die cut the center of the circle and backed with black cardstock. I then trimmed the center out of the Clock (Steampunk Series) die cut and adhered it to the top of the circle.

I used one banners from both the new and previous release sets and the second smallest die from the Pierced Stacker #2 set for my Birthday sentiment. In the background, I created the layered base with black cardstock and pattern paper plus I layered the Fiona’s Magic Mirror die which was cut from the sprayed cardstock.


Dies used:

Fleur De Lis Doily (Set of 2) - DL304

Grow Old with Me!


Hello!

Todays card was created to highlight the lovely new die set called Dutch Daisy Oval Doily from last months New Release.

I have used a lot of layers on the card base, which are so easy to create with the Cheery Lynn A2 frame sets. Pick your paper, cut and stack! So simple for a great look!


As you can see, my flowers and sentiment are placed on top of the Dutch Daisy Oval Doily die. This die comes as a set of 2 dies. You can use them separately, together, or mix and match this other sets. 

I wanted to show you this set with some dimension so I backed the center in red cardstock after I die cut it and trimmed around the outside. I used pop dots to raise and create depth. 

I have also trimmed off the edges of the Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 die for my embossed sentiment. I tucked it into my flower arrangement and added rhinestones for sparkle.


Dies used:

Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 - B546

Dog Lover Card


Happy Friday May 1st to you!

I have created my card using the new Pet Pack (Set of 11) and Meow! & Woof! (Set of 2) from the Cheery Lynn Designs New Release last month.


I also used two stackers from the Pierced Stacker #1 (Set of 6). It think it resembles the shape of a fire hydrant and that always makes me think of our K9 friends!


I wanted to incorporate a Cheery Lynn Flower because......well......I am addicted! So I create the Judy's Blooms flower by cutting the large die out twice. Layered them together and placed it on top of some looped twine and foliage.


I then added a paw from the new release to the center. To get the embossed effect, use a rubber mat under your die. I then added a little glitter glue to the cut out area.



I cut the WOOF sentiment out of cardstock and added brown glitter glue on top. I also glittered the bone in the top left corner and the paw print on the heart page tab. The paw print on the page tab is the negative from the embossed paw print on the flower. 

 Tip: when trying to recreate the paw print with the five small cutouts, lay the "embossed outline" paw print down where you want the print to be and only glue the small pieces in the "holes" and then lift the outline away.

 Dies used:

Meow! & Woof! (Set of 2) - B560

Happy Card with Corina Finley

Hello!

So glad you can join me for today's blog post! I have used three Cheery Lynn New Release dies on this weeks card - so lets jump in and take a closer look!

The three New Release dies that I used are the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily, Pierced Banners and Leafy Flourish.


Above is a close up of the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily die, cut from white cardstock. I backed it with dark blue cardstock and add rhinestones for sparkle! This die is so elegant and can be used in so many ways.

In this next picture, I used the Pierced Banners and the Leafy Flourish dies.


I layered the large and small Pierced Banners die to the card base and added the Tags 4 die with my sentiment to the top right in the picture above.

I then added the Leafy Flourish die on top which was cut from white cardstock. I wanted more layers so, I added two petal layers of the Sweet Christine to the larger flower and two petal layers from the Embellishment #2 to the smaller flower. Added a rhinestone to the flower centers and down the side of the large Pierced Banners.


New Release Dies:

Leafy Flourish (Set of 2) - B571

Pierced Banners (Set of 3) - DL303


Previous Release Dies:

Sweet Christine - B434

Thinking of You Card

  

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Welcome to another Friday Card.

Have you seen the Cheery Lynn's April New Release! What do you think? Which dies are your favourites? Sooo many new wonderful dies to choose from! I am loving all the new creative possibilities these dies bring to my craft table!

Now to this weeks card!

I used all New Release dies except for the Cattails and Reeds. There is always an exception!
  
 
The photo above, features the new Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 die in blue cardstock and I layered my sentiment stamped on white cardstock on top. It comes with the extra filigree which I adhered to the top right corner of my card. You can use the extra filigree to layer on top of the base or on its own. You can use this die vertically or horizontally which is also very useful!
 
 
The Cattails and Reeds die went so well with my pattern paper, I just had to use it! I cut it out twice from the same blue cardstock as the card base and the Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 die. To create a dimensional look on the cattails I used flower soft.
 
 
Above you can see the New Release Pierced Stacker #3. I used 2 out of the 6 dies in the set to cut the Heron pattern Paper and blue cardstock matte. I really think this stacking die set creates an elegance design to my card.
 
I used two dies from the New Release Curved Border Set for the bottom layers of my card. The set has four dies to create a mix and match design details to your card.

 
New Release Dies used:
Curved Border Set (Set of 4) - B569
Pierced Stacker #3 (Set of 6) - XL-21
Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 - B545
 
Previous Release Dies used:
Cattails and Reeds - B389
