Christmas Gatefold With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi! Welcome back to another card for Cheery Lynn Designs!This week we are featuring all Christmas cards....enjoy! 

I wanted to make a card with doors, so I used the "Screen Door With Dog" I reversed the dog and door for the opposite side by flipping over the cardstock. There are magnets between the papers so you can close the doors or keep them open. 

The sentiment is from "Winter Holiday Word". The "Wreath Strip" was cut a couple times and layered throughout the door with tiny red pearls. I also added them to the dogs' collar. 

Inside I used the "lace christmas tree" I did cut the bottom off a tad so it fit in the gatefold. 

Here is one side...

The snow is liquid appliqué in white. 

Here is the other side....

Halloween Time

Hi! Happy Sunday! 

Today, Im sharing a new card inspired by this month's October 2016 Viva La Verve sketch.

Since, it is the month of October, I figured I would be making more and more Halloween cards. 

The pumpkin stamp and sentiment are from Verve stamps called "Everything Nice" and it also has a matching die cut so be sure to check it out! 

The paper are from Teresa Collins that I have had for years...Love them! 

I added some bling in black. The sentiment was stamped on a banner from Cheery Lynn Designs called "Horizon Fishtail Banner" I use it quite a bit because I love the details of the edges.

Closer view....

Love all the layers on this sketch...thx Julee! 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Have a great day!

Abundant Blessings With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hello again! Two Saturday's in a row for me! I hope everyone is having a great day! 

I've been busy crafting away in my scrap room. Getting all kinds of ideas for the upcoming holiday season. Today, Im sharing this autumn card for Cheery Lynn Designs using their beautiful detailed "fall leaves" set. I used the largest leaf multiple times in orange and yellow cardstock. 

I placed my favorite "french pastry doily" in the background and stamped the sentiment from verve stamps on the "horizon fishtail banner"  The "floral bouquet kit" I die cut in kraft and used a yellow topic marker on the tips. It gave it a different darker color to match the patterned paper in the background. Lastly, I added a bow in the center. I sure do love my bow maker!

Grateful For You

Hi! 

Today, I wanted to share another card using the new stamps again from Verve called Autumn Blessings. This card as made to give a big Thank You to Julee Tilman for picking me this month to be part of her new release. Thank you so much! 

The beautiful feather flowers I stamped and embossed in white. The sentiment is from last year's Verve stamps called Bountiful Harvest. I stamped it in brown ink and fussy cut it out. I also made the stamped kraft paper using an old retired stamp from Heartfelt Creations. 

The leaves, doily and the colorful brown and orange accents are from Cheery Lynn Designs. 

Flourish #14, French Pastry Doily and Floral Bouquet Kit. I sure seem to have been using the floral kit quite a bit lately. 

I added some ribbon, a few buttons, and some bling to finish this card. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great day!

Hi! Today, I'm sharing a card using the gorgeous "Autumn Blessings" stamps and die cuts! 

The beautiful feathered flower is amazing! I colored every other piece of the feather. I then cut more the the spray out and colored the leaves withe the same marker. 

The sentiment and pumpkin were stamped on circles and layered with kraft paper. I was planning to add a bow but then it started to hide the spray....so it was taken off.

Today, Im sharing a more formal card for a bride to be, maybe a birthday for that teenager who is a princess and wants all her wishes to come true! 

The dress has a matching die cut called "gown die"making this stamp super fast and easy. I added some tiny pearls along the waistline and around he neckline. 

I kept the colors neutral by using only black and white. Lots of pearls and one big flower on the bottom. It worked out great because the flowers already had pearls in the center.

Happy Halloween! Mojo Monday

Hello everyone!

Happy Mojo Monday! 

I hope you are able to join us today for our 2nd Blog Hop day( still going on today) with Verve stamps. The new release if great for the upcoming holidays. I was on call all day yesterday and spent the whole day there working. So today I was able to sneak into my craft room to make this Halloween card using this month's Mojo Monday #468 contest. 

So, originally I was planning to make it a bit more creepy looking with the drippings and black splats. I knew I was planning to use "Everything Nice" pumpkins in black. I stamped the sentiment in green and then something took a twist??? I ended up adding the leaves from Heartfelt Creations Roses in the corner with ribbon and grey pearls...So much for being spooky! lol

A closer view...I pierced the edges by hand because I didn't have a die cut this particular size (3 x 4) 

Here is the wonderful sketch by Julee...Thank you! 

Thanks for stopping by and LOVE all your wonderful comments!

Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Angel Voices stamp set and coordinating Angelic Die Set.

So be sure to leave a little comment on all the blogs below to increase your chances!

Here I used the adorable "Angels Voices" and "Angelic" die cut. There are 4 cute angels to choose from in this set. I wanted to used the angel with the heart and used lots of red. Red is my favorite color so it is perfect with all the hearts. I was planning to use one sentiment but then I started singing and so I decided to use both sentiments. Gorgeous fonts!

I layered a poinsettia and added a pearl in the center. Behind it are some holly leaves. 

A closer view...

Sharing another crd using these adorable little angels. This angel is a bit larger but also has a matching die cut. No fussy cutting needed. The sentiment font is again awesome and can be used for several cards. I decided to use blues thinking of the blue sky, stars and the heavens above. 

I had to add some flowers and these blues roses were the perfect size to enhance the stamps, but not take away from the beauty. I distressed the edges of the paper to give it a more shabby look. 

A closer view....

Hope you were able to Blog Hop yesterday with Verve Stamps. If not it's ok there is a few more days to Blog Hop so be sure to come back tomorrow too. So these are part of the Verve stamps that were released yesterday called "Everything Nice" When I seen this beautiful dress, all I could see is a beautiful black and white formal gown. I added some pearls to the waistline and neckline. 

These papers that I found at Walmart really are very beautiful! The collection is called Modern Millinery by Colorbok. Be sure to check it out, you will love them too.  My other recent love are the beautiful roses from Heartfelt Creations. I forget sometimes how it is really nice to have the exact color flowers to match your papers. That's because it was made with the matching cardstock! lol

Here is a closer view of the dress and sentiment from Verve "Everything Nice"

 I also added some black bling just because....
