Best Wishes

A warm Hello to you today.   I hope you all enjoyed the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog Hop last sunday with the design team showcasing some of the new releases. If not you can check them out on the CLD's blog by scrolling down to sundays post.

For this weeks card I wanted to showcase two more of the newly released dies. The Dutch Daisy A2 Card Facer Die Set is so elegant and is a set of three frames plus a few accent dies with it. The  Best Wishes Sentiment Square Die is just one of several  sentiment dies that CLD released with shapes around the sentiment. So this card was created using just these two dies.  This card has three layers all popped up and layered on top of the last layer. For the base I used white cardstock and placed the two larges frames from the Dutch Daisy A2 Card Facer Die Set on to the CS and cut them. I then mounted it onto a green card base.

Next I cut the smallest frame in aqua and popped and layered it on top of the white base.

Last I layered the Best Wishes Sentiment Square Die onto a square piece of green card stock. I popped and layered that on top of the aqua.  Goes to show you can make a beautiful card using just two dies.

Alaskan Cruise

 

Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs May New Release Blog Hop . If you just came from visiting Bonnie @ "Make Time To Craft"   You are on the right track. If not then head back to the Cheery Lynn Designs blog @  http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/ and start from the beginning so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects  from our design team.  Cheery Lynn Designs will be giving a $20.00 prize to one random commenter on the Cheery Lynn Blog Hop Post.

 

 

For May's New Release I have chosen to showcase the "Fun Travel Set". 

 

For this card I created a scenic background for the cruise ship. I printed Alaskan Cruise on the grey paper and then cut the cruise ship from it so the writing was on the ship. It is good way to personalize your cruise by doing this when scrapbooking or cardmaking. With layering the suitcase, tickets and flower arrangement it made for beautiful card.

Below are the images of the dies in the Fun Travel Set. I think this set is just awesome with the variety and  as always with CLD the detail as well. 

 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, Your next visit on the Blog Hop is with Jenny @ "Jens Paper Obsession"  but before you go please leave a comment.

For a Special Mother

Nice to see you here today.  I hope you are having a wonderful day doing what you love to do. I know Mother's Day is over but wanted to do one more Mother's Day Card . You could give a Mom this card any day of the year to show her how special she is without waiting until Mother's Day.

I had this beautiful piece of dragonfly paper in my stash that was card size and thought what a beautiful card that would make if I didn't cover the dragon fly up.  I did like the end results.

 

Here I inked and  layered one of the frames from the  Square Frames  set. I layered the Fern Leaf  and the small leaves which are from the Flourish #13 .  The flowers I used are Chrysanthemum Strip , Shasta Daisy , Daisy Strip  and Judy's Blooms . The centers of the flowers are from the Build a Flower # 1.

This sentiment is cut from one of the Say What? (Set of 16).

 

Here I have tucked in one of the vases  from the Vase (Set of 4) set in behind the floral arrangement. I used a piece of paper that had a tiny flower design to cut the vase from and I think the vase turned out so pretty.

I invite you to come on over to the Cheery Lynn Designs blog

Time for Tea

A warm Hello to you today. I would like to wish all you Mother's out there an very Happy Mother's day and hope you have the most wonderful day on  Mother's Day.

 

 

 

I started this card but placing the English Tea Party Doily  in the center. I then made the tea cup as my focal point which I have explain below. I added the  Add a Flourish  which kind of looks like steam coming out of the cup. and then tucked in a couple of the sentiment hearts. The Paris Sign  was layered on the top corner. I printed the sentiment out and then placed the paris 4 sign die over top of the printed sentiment so I could layer it on top of the sign. I stamped on the Pierced Banners  and layered it along the bottom.

 

For this  mothers Day card that I have created. I wanted to use a tea cup but didn't have a die for it so I used one of the vases  from the Vase (Set of 4 and the Paris Signs 4 - B550  to create this tea cup. I cut the top off the vase and used one of the flourishes from the paris sign for the handle.  I think it turned out pretty cool. I used the Felicity Tiny Doily - DL243 folded in half to set the tea cup on.

 

These hearts are from the Sweetheart Candy  die set and works great even on a mother's day card. I really liked the hearts tucked into the flourishes.

Thank You

A warm Hello to you today.   I had a couple of  flowers in my stash that I had previously made using the Chrysanthemum Strip.  So I used them and created this card around them.

I started with a beautiful gold pattern paper to match the flowers. I layered the Lattice Heart & Vines  to the center and layered the two chrysanthemums flowers made from the Chrysanthemum Strip . A few of the Flourish #13  leaves were tucked behind the flowers. The sentiment thank you from the Thank You #2 was layered along the bottom. A simple yet elegant card.

On The Road

A warm hello to you today.  Not sure if you would call this card clean and simple but it was definitely a quick and simple card.

 

For the base I used a product that Cheery Lynn Designs is now selling called Kraft-Tex. It is tough and doesn't tear and really looks like leather. I embossed the Kraft-Tex using the Gears Embossing Plate  . I layered the  Pierced Stacker #4 on top of that followed by the smallest of the  Circle Stitch and Cut Tool   with Happy Birthday printed on it.  I tucked some of the assorted gears from the Gears (Set of 9) in and around the circle. Last I cut the motorcycle from the Kraft-Tex and layered it for my focal point. It does makes a  great manly card.

Dream Catcher

A warm hello to you all.  I hope you are having a nice sunny day. Today I am featuring the Crafty Ann Collection's Card Cover Maker #4 as well as the detailed CLD Dream Catchers #1 on my card.

I started my base with a white piece of cardstock. I die cut the Card Cover Maker #4 from the center of the paper. I then embossed around the edge using the Oval IOE Plates and the Frame It Embossing Folder. There was a bit of space at each end which I added a couple of embossed lines to by using a scorpal.

I added  a flower matting  and green matting to the back of my base.

I have layered the center of the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame (Set of 3) to the center of the card. The sentiment Love and You  were layered onto the doily.

Here is a close up of the beautifully detailed Dream Catchers #1 with a some bling added.

Believe

Hello.  It is nice to see you here. Today I am going to share with you a card featuring the  Quadrafoil Tag and the Fleur De Lis Border from the last new CLD release. They are both such pretty and intricate designs.

My base was started with black cardstock. I cut two pieces of mauve paper and then cut one edge on each piece with the Fleur De Lis Border Set - B680. I cut a strip of the pattern paper and layered the two pieces of mauve paper on each side of it with the cut pattern facing each other. I then layered the French Lattice Small at the top. This gave me my base that I wanted to build on.

I used the Quadrafoil Tag cut in both purple paper and white paper. I fussy cut the oval from the white which was only a couple of short easy snips. I then layered the sentiment Believe to the center of the tag. I cut another tag in purple and cut the top and bottom flourish design from it to use as my corners. This set does come with a separate flourish design but I wanted bigger corner pieces so choose to cut them from the tag itself. For the One Free Wish  fairy I cut it in three different colors. Skin tone, flower pattern paper for the dress and purple pattern patter for the wings. The glitter on the wings give her the finishing touch. I did cut the fairy from the rest of the design as well.

To the bottom left corner I used the  Small Gardenia to create a beautiful flower and fussy cut some of the leaves from the paper and place under it.

Here is a closer look at the bottom half of the card showing the pretty borders.
