Mom

Hi, TGIF....well I'm on another 4 day weekend from the hospital. It has been slow in surgery and with only urgent cases going on right now. I hope everyone is staying at home and keeping well. Meanwhile, I made this card for my mother. I love her so much. I decided to use the inspirational colors from this week's Color Throwdown #586. 

Lately, I have been loving to make these 5 x 5 inch cards and going a bit crazy with layers....

A closer view...the pearl pearls are liquid pearls...much faster and tedious...except you have to patient and let it dry a bit....lol 

The awesome colors....

Thanks for stopping by today...

Mother's Day Wishes

Good Morning! Today I'm sharing with you a card that I made for my mother for this upcoming Mothers Day. She loves reds and pink so I made this pink card using beautiful flowers from Prima. The sentiment is from Verve before it closed down....miss you! Trying to keep busy during this time of social isolation....what are you doing? 

I wanted to make this card shabby chic so I added pearls and some cloth lace. I also distressed the papers and my mother loves cats so I had a tiny die cut from Cheery Lynn Designs. It is hard to see but it has glitter on the cat o give it an extra shine. 

I live these leaves from Creative Expressions. I think this time I made my lines a bit straighter too! LOL

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Keep safe and well!

How do you like your Eggs?

Hi! Happy Valentines Day! Today, Im sharing with you a card that was made for a friend who has been trying to get pregnant. Her IVP is today and so I wanted to make an inspirational card for her. I looked online for inspiration. I found the sentiments and just printed them up on the computer. 

I used los of Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts. Even though the company doesn't exist anymore, I still love all the die cuts and use them frequently. 

In the inside of the card is reads " Wishing you great fertilization results" 

I really hope she loves this card and this time her dreams of having a family come true. 

I was also inspired by Monia on pinterest too. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day

Hi Peeps!

Hope everyone is having a nice day....

I posted yesterday a card with flowers in a jar and while I was playing around with the jar I also stamped the jar on white paper. So I figured why throw it away? I then stamped roses with Lawn fawn. Love their stamps and die cuts. 

I embossed the purple paper and used a MS punch for the top. 

The sentiment was tripped up on the computer and I used a slider die to cut it out. 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

See you soon!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi and Happy Mother's Day! 

I hope all you mother's have a wonderful and fun day! I wanted to share with you today another easel card that I made and mailed to my Mother. She loves pink and well this card screams pink! I have been so busy making cards and project for my DT that I really haven't made any for my stash.  This card came together pretty quickly since I didn't make the flowers...I used some of my old stash..

The card base is 5 inches and all the flowers are from Recollections. The leaves in the background are Cheery Lynn Dies Flourish #13 and the lacey swirls is called "florence filigree doily" I added some pearl swirls from Zva. 

A closer view....there is also a pink sheer bow along the side.

The sentiment was printed on the computer in pink and I added some pearl swirls on the top. 

Here you can see how it closes and ready to be mailed! 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

I sure hope everyone has a great day!

Mother's Day Easel Card With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! It's just around the corner from Mother's Day and so I thought I would make a Mother's Day Easel Card using Cheery Lynn Designs Dies. It is also this week's challenge too, so check it out. This easel card base was made using the second largest "scalloped circle" It is about 5 inches which the size I typically like to use, but if you like a bigger card you can use the biggest "scalloped circle" which is around 6 inches around. I then cut the "scalloped circle" the 3rd largest in a lighter purple. It is about the same size as the "florence filigree doily". I die cut the doily out in white twice and saved all the pieces inside for later. 

The "sweet williams strip  flowers" were cut twice and all the centers were inked with dark distressing purple. There are different size pearls in the centers. Each flower the same size was layered on top of each other which will give you 4 flowers sizes per die cut run. The inside pieces of the "florence filigree" was originally white and I just inked both sides in green distressed ink.  The sentiment was from Microsoft Word and printed  in purple on white cardstock. The die cut is the third smallest "pierced stacker #4" Afterwards, I fussy cut around the die in a dark purple cardstock to enhance it a bit more. Place pop dots under the sentiment because this will be how the card will stand up later. 

Here is a closer view of the flowers and "flourish #17" leaves. They were die cut and then placed through the embossing machine to show the leaves lines. The "dandelions" were cut in white and then inked purple on the flower ends. 

I added a purple double looped bow on top and you can see it folds flat for mailing or placing in an envelope. Lots of occasions you can use this card for...Birthdays, Thank You, Wedding, Thinking Of You....and of course Mother's Day! 

Hope you enjoyed!

Mother's Kittens *GDT Cheery Lynn Designs*

Hello, It's Lisa with this week's card for Cheery Lynn Designs. I can't believe it is the end of the month already and my guest designing has already come to an end...wish it could last longer...although Im sure there are lots of ladies wanting to guest design too...good luck to you all! So here is my card that was inspired from this week's challenge...Mother's Day! I chose a mother cat and kittens because my mother LOVES cats and so this reminds me of her so much. In fact, this image also has 3 kittens and well, that is exactly like me and my two siblings. Love you mother!

I chose cream, white, pink and kraft for my color theme. My mother loves pinks and vintage so with all Cheery Lynn Diecuts this made this card perfect for her. I used 6 diecuts on this card:

B152 Miniature Rose

B178 Flourish Strip

DL102 French Pastry

DL153 Polynesian Sails

DL113 Exotic Butterflies Small #2

DL128 Two Of Hearts

I really love the miniature roses. They are super small and now I don't need to by those tiny roses anymore :) now I can make my own....love it. Remember a couple of weeks ago I mention getting more diecuts at the local convention??? Well, that is something I did. Besides getting the miniature roses, I also purchased the flourish leaf strip and a birdcage. Im so excited to use some of them today and I will be using them more in the near future :)

Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my Mother's Day card made with all the wonderful Cheery Lynn Diecuts. I sure hope my mother loves it too! Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Hugs, Lisa

Shabby Pink

One more card for today...I just had to make a new shabby chic card with the chandelier stamp from K and Company studio 112. When I first seen that stamp that is what I intended to make a card in shabby chic. Well, I ended up using it for a Halloween card first...lol

I used a technique from this month's card challenge over at sb.com called "embossing resist" 

You can see the great challenge here and the technique here by Beate Johns. 

The inside of the card has a chandelier in the center of the top and more distressing inks from

 Tim Holtz, "victorian velvet" The roses are "bitty blossoms" and the cute little birds are from Heartfelt Creations "romance garden" and "brookside manor" just love those little birds! 

I added a doily and on top is "floral ovals" with more of the embossed words and inking. 

I finished it all off with white ribbon, an embossed birdhouse using Donna's "jasmine inx and jasmine embossing powder", some bling and "ranger white pearls". The beautiful swirls are from Cheery Lynn Designs "fanciful flourish"

Have a wonderful rest of the day and enjoy our holiday tomorrow! 

xoxo
