For You!

Hi everyone! 

Happy Black Friday!

Anyone staying home and making cards instead of shopping? Well, I decided that was going to be my plan today instead of fighting crowds. Many years ago I had shopped on Black Friday, Yes actual FRIDAY! Now it is on Thursday Thanksgiving Day. Makes me  saddened because I feel it ruins the holiday and the reason we should be Thankful for what we have already. 

Ok Im done complaining. 

Here is a card made using this week's Mojo Monday #475 sketch. I love all the layers that comes with each sketch every week. I seen the snowflake and new I needed to make a Christmas card. 

The paper is from Lawn Fawn and it makes matching everything up easy. I used Cheery Lynn Designs dies for the snowflake, the banner and the stitched rectangle. 

I couldn't help myself I had to add pearls on the snowflake and for a swirl of snow. 

Here is the great sketch! Thank you 

Have a great day! 

Don't spend too much because Cyber Monday is right around the corner!

Christmas Village With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hello! 

Today, I'm sharing with you a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs. I can not believe I have not made anything new for over a month! I was in wedding mode for my daughter trying to get ready for her big day which was this past November 5, 2016....

Now I'm finally getting back my Mojo that I felt like it disappeared for a while....

Here is a Christmas scene that I had fun making yesterday. 

The "winter neighborhood border" was layered twice in kraft and white. I then stamped the sentiment in black ink. The green trees with pearls are part of the new die cuts "tree shaker" I used two different holly's. Small holly from "Christmas bell" and and small holly from "holly leaves" 

There is one "poinsettia" in the center with a pearl. Two "colonial lamp posts" on each side just seemed like it fit in the scene. All the stitching on the white cardstock is from the "rectangle stitch and cut tool" Love the look! Tiny doves were stamped and fussy cut out. There is some Green ribbon across the top. Also pearls for the berry's and a swirl of snow...

Beautiful Heart Shaker Card With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi! Welcome back to another fun shaker card for Cheery Lynn Designs. The new "Heart Shaker Card Kit" is a definite must have in your collection. There are so many occasions you can use this die cut. I cut the die cut out on two different papers and kept the insides of the center to make an extra heart. No wasting papers or foam here. 

The "sweetheart frame" is in the background and I free handed black dots and stitches to match the sentiment in black ink. Pretty easy and fast to make. 

I added a tiny black bow and sequins in the shaker heart.

Give Thanks With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi! I hope you had a good time Blog Hopping yesterday with Cheery Lynn Designs! 

I'm sure there is still time to hop so be sure to check it out! 

Meanwhile, today I'm sharing with you a card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. I have been making several cards with yellows, oranges and kraft so I thought I would remove the orange this time. The stamp image was colored with copic markers and then I chose the papers...it was die cut out with "pierced circles"

I stamped a sentiment with embossing ink and used white embossing powder onthe "horizon fishtail banner" It is my go to die cut for many projects. I made the "daisy strip" flowers using all of them for the larger flower and then using the 4 smaller flowers for the smaller flower. The inside was made using the "black eyed susan strip" cut in half for both flower centers. I used the smaller of the leaves from "flourish #14" and in the background the beautiful "cape cod" doily 

You can see here the "old brick" embossing folder. Love it!

Deathly Delights

Hi! 

Happy Halloween! 

Today, I wanted to share with you a new card I made yesterday one the using Graphic 45 papers and

inspired by Cupcake Inspiration Challenge 382. Originally, I had planned on making a cupcake but then I had all these fun papers and decided to go that way. The cupcake has fun eyeballs, so I added the on he ends of the swirls and also on the skull. 

The plaid ribbon bow is a triple bow with a green rose in the center. I have had these green roses from Michael's. Perfect for Halloween! 

A closer view....

Fun wiggly eyes.....

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the drippings and placed a few cards on the inside for a gift card and sentiment. 

Here is the fun inspiration! Thank you! 

Have a great Halloween! 

Be safe and have fun!

Hugs Lisa 

Boo to You!

Hi Happy Friday! 

Yesterday, I was in my craft room making some new cards for Cheery Lynn Designs for upcoming posts and a new release. However, first I wanted to make a card for this week's Mojo Monday #471. I used the "boo to you" stamped ghosts and the adorable sentiment with "everything nice" pumpkins.

The halloween paper I recently bought at Michaels for 60% off! YAY! 

The spiderweb die and fishtail banners are from Cheery Lynn Designs. I pierced the white square and added pop dots behind the pumpkins.

Fun sketch! Thank you! 

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Halloween With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi! Welcome back to another Halloween card for Cheery Lynn Designs! 

I was on a super roll making cards earlier in the month and it has been slowing down a bit since my daughter's wedding is just around the corner! Busy busy busy! 

Meanwhile, I was stumped on what I was planning to make? I knew I wanted to make flowers using the "black eyed susan strip" The centers of the flowers are gorgeous! 

The "cuties 3" I placed on the top and the bottom of the card. Reminds me of a ribbon. I stamped the sentiment on the "horizon fishtail banner" I do have to say it is one of my favorite go to die cuts. The "spiderweb" is in the background and the spiders are from "spider nest" Lastly, I added the cat from "witch's brew"  I just love the cat....meow!

Thanks A Latte

Hi Happy Sunday! 

Today, Im back sharing a card inspired by this week's October Viva La Verve sketch and the October color inspiration challenge at Verve. The coffee/latte are both part of the new release over at Verve stamps called Everything Nice. The die cut Thanks is part of the Autumn Thanks. This month colors for October at the Verve Blog are quite bright and cheerful. I personally think of spring/summer. Here is AZ it is soon hot outside that is when I spend more time in my scrap room....LOL

The die cut flowers are from Cheery Lynn Designs called Black Eyes Susan Strip. I really love the centers of the flowers. I added some black bling and some ric rac ribbon. 

A closer view ....the tiny "a latte" is printed from the computer and I chalked the edges.

Here is the fun sketch! Thank you Lesley!

The inspirational colors....

Verve Stamps "Retrospective" Blog Hop

Welcome to Verve's October Release Retrospective Blog Hop!  Today the Verve Divas and Guest Divas are back with another dose of inspiration using the brand new release! All of our new products are available to order in the Verve shop and on sale through the end of October! Plus, we've got a sweet hop prize in store!

 Hi! Welcome back! I had to make another card using the beautiful "Everything Nice" stamp set and the matching "Pumpkin Spice" die cut set. It is almost Halloween and lots of pumpkin tasting foods and drinks. Yum!! So naturally I used orange for the color palate. I stamped the pumpkins in orange ink and decided to add some lace, pearls and flowers to match. 

Here is the stamps and matching pumpkin die cuts. 

 The orange paper I embossed with my cuttlebug. The patterned paper is from DCWV "Spookytime"

Bought these tiny envelopes a long time ago, so I thought it needed some other layer....since that is my kind of style.
