Today I am showcasing the New Year 2017 Shaker Card Kit along with the Shaker Mini Happy New Year Set and Shaker Mini Trumpet Set. Cheery Lynn designs sells the foam as well as the acetate to go with the rest of the shaker line for making these beautiful shaker cards.

There are different ways of creating these shaker cards. Here I have shown you how to cut several layers from cardstock and glue them together to get the space you want to add the metal shaker to. You can also use foam that has adhesive on it for your spacer. I have also added a few of the metal shakers on top of the design as well.

This is the Happy New Year 4 Piece Die Set  that was released not long ago and pairs perfectly with this new shaker die.

Christmas Angels

A warm hello to you.  Sometimes we just need a quick card so today I want to share  a simple and quick card using only two dies.

I have used a pretty Christmas paper for the background and matted the angels with the verse from another patterned paper.

Next I layered the beautifully shaped and detailed Holly Leaf  cut from a pattern paper.

From the Christmas Bell set I layered the branches , the bow and holly berries. I have put some glitter on the branches and used glossy accents on the berries. So if you are ever limited to time to get a card created quickly you can do something quick and simple like this one and still give a homemade card created with love.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you have time to join the bi-weekly challenge

Christmas Mini Album

Hello to all. Today I an designing a Christmas mini album for the themed week of Christmas projects over at Cheery Lynn Designs. I am showcasing two of the new Gift Envelopes that were released not long ago. They are the Merry Christmas and Winter Fun sets and have the cutest tiny festive dies for making mini albums.

I  use the Mini Book Hearts and Ribbons  , the Gift Envelopes and Page Tabs to create the cutest little mini album. I made a hidden hinge binding to attach all the envelopes to thus creating a few pages for my album. . You can see the Mini Book Hearts and Ribbons  binding I have used along the edge  of the book.

This is the inside cover and page one. I have cut the top flaps off the envelopes so I could insert a stitched page to put a photo on both sides of .  The page inserts are cut from the Square Stitch and Cut tool .  I have staggered little tabs to the envelope edges  using the Page Tabs  .

 I have also put a photo matt on the back of each envelope for adding a photo. The dies used on the right are from the Merry Christmas Gift Envelope

The tiny die cuts I have used here are from the Winter Fun Gift Envelope . They work great for Christmas projects as well.

This is the last page.

Here is the back cover with a nice view of the binding and tabs. This is the cutest little Christmas mini album that will hold a total of nine photos. It would make the cutest little gift for that someone special.

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope I have inspired you to get a few Christmas projects done ahead so you are not rushing at the last minute.

Happy Halloween Layout

A warm hello to you . Last time I posted  I said that I would share a Halloween layout this time.  Halloween is always a nice time to do fun layouts and this one was definitely fun with all these new Halloween dies that Cheery Lynn Designs release this year.

This is a 8"x8" page layout. We always play with non traditional colors for some of our Christmas cards and layout so I thought why not non traditional colors for Halloween as well. I really like the way it turned out.

The Happy Halloween  sentiment I did in two layers to give it a shadowed look. I like that the sentiment is all one piece.

This Ultimate Halloween  set has a great variety of dies in it including the  nicely detailed tree as well as the Boo, pumpkin, ghost and even a bat. I have used them all on this page layout except for the bat. I think this tree would make anyone smile.

Now for the Skeleton. This skeleton has got to be one of my all time favorite Halloween dies. Besides what I have used here he also comes with a cowboy styled hat and a  bigger head . There are two different sized bones that you can see in the full sized photo of the layout above. I thought it would be cute to have him holding a pumpkin.

Here is a close up of the ghost with googly eyes and the sentiment BOO. . If you noticed in the full layout photo above I also gave the tree googly eyes. The eyes just really add character to the tree and ghost. In the layout I have used the Pierced Stacker  to place a photo on. Well that is it for this time. I do hope I have inspired you and that you make time to have some halloween fun and play with some of these new dies.

Oct 2 Happy Halloween

A warm hello to you.   I am into Halloween  for the next two weeks so be sure to check back next week to take a peek at the Halloween layout I created. It's pretty cool. I thought I would get a early start to inspire you and give you time to get some Halloween projects created for  yourself.

The dies I have featured on this card were released by CLD not long ago. Next week I will used more Halloween dies from that release. It is always nice to get new Halloween dies released each year.

For this frame I have used here is the Halloween Candy Card Maker . It is a really cool frame with pumpkin suckers and assorted candies. I double layered the pumpkin suckers for added dimension. The coloring was done using copic markers. I wanted to create a fun and bright card for the little ones.

Here is a close up of the frame.

The Happy Halloween is part of the die set Happy Halloween  . The cat is from the Witch's Brew  set. I thought the Happy Halloween would look good in alternate colors and I like how it turned out. Don't forget to check out all the awesome new Halloween dies that were released by CLD not long ago. There is quite a variety to choose from.

I invite you to go to Cheery Lynn Designs bi-weekly challenge  for your chance to win $20.00 in dies. You can enter @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge. You could also be one of the top three picks.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I always have a lot of fun with Halloween projects and hope that you can find some time to relax and play too. Have a wonderful day.

Birthday Wishes

A warm hello to you today.   So nice to see you visiting.

There are so many beautiful papers out there that I have chosen to go with fewer dies this time and let the paper be some of the pretty design of the card along with the beautiful dies.

Here I used the French Flair Stitch and Cut Tool   to cut out this design and then cut the sentiment from the Birthday Wishes Circle to layer on top of it.

This is cut from the Ribbon Eyelet Border  die. It makes a nice base to thread ribbon through. I added some bling to it as well as bling to the sentiment. This is a nice simple and quick card to make and I think it is so pretty.

Happy New Year 2017

Hello  Glad to see you here.

Today I am going for "Clean and Simple" using one of the new dies sets from the last new release. It is the Happy New Year 4 Piece Die Set .

I started with shiny red foil paper for the base then layer white paper on top. I then cut the Fleur De Lis Boutique Stacker A2 Frame  in black velvet paper and layered the Rectangle Stitch and Cut tool   in white.

I cut the Happy New Year 4 Piece Die Set  again in shiny red foil paper so I could layer them onto the black hats to make the hats pop. The star design from the set was layered to the top right corner and another red hat layered to the bottom left corner. The "2017" was cut using the Delicate Lace Script 2 Piece Die Set .
The frame and sentiment in the black velvet paper looks so nice in person and cuts beautifully from the CLD die.

Thanks so much for joining me today and now I would  like to invite you to join Cheery Lynn Designs Bi Weekly challenge @http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree . I always enjoy seeing all the beautiful entries.

Mr. & Mrs. Snowman

A warn hello to you. Nice to see you here. Christmas is getting closer all the time and with the last new release at Cheery Lynn Designs having some Christmas dies I have decided to create a Mr. & Mrs. Snowman card.

 I am featuring two of the new dies sets which were release in July. They are the Build A Snowman 13 Piece Die Set  and the Winter Holiday Word 6 Piece Die Set . I must say the snowmen were so fun to work with. You can really decorate them up cute with all the accessories in the die set.

I wanted to go non traditional colors and thought this plaid paper would work great. I layered the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2  in the center and then layered the Heart to Heart Doily  on top of it. That made my base to build on.

Here is the Mrs. snowman with her fashionable scarf, mitts and hat from the Build A Snowman  set . I have added a bow to her hat as well as the sentiment "Peace" from the Winter Holiday Word .

And then there is Mr. Snowman also from the Build A Snowman  set. I must say he is also very fashionable and cool with his sunglasses and pipe. The broom is so nicely detailed too. The sentiment "JOY" is also from the Winter Holiday Word  set.

Here they are together as a couple with the Merry Christmas sentiment layered from the Winter Holiday Word  set. This set really does have a nice variety of different sentiments. I added the Judy's Blooms  flower just because it matched the colors so good and I rather like it rather than always using snowflakes on Christmas cards. Last I tucked in pieces of the Dancing Snow Flurries  for filler and more glitter. I hope I have inspired you to get a early start on your Christmas cards. I know I usually leave mine until the last minute then feel rushed.

25th Anniversary

Hi there. Glad to see you here .  There was a die set just release by Cheery Lynn Designs with the Christmas release which I have featured today. It is the Christmas Bell 7 Piece Die Set . I always like to see if I can come up with ideas for using dies aimed for a certain season and make it work for something totally different so it is more versatile. So I took these Christmas bells and used them for this 25th anniversary card.

For this card I used purple and white for my base and then popped and layered the  Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stackers Frame  onto it. I really think the design in this frame is so elegant for a anniversary card.

Just look at all that beautiful detail in these bells and bow. I cut but didn't pop the pieces out as I wanted more of a embossed look. For another look I could have popped out the pieces and layered another color behind the bells.

Here I have cut the Cherry Blossom Branch Die  in silver to match the bells and 25th and popped it up.

The 25th is cut from the Delicate Lace Script and layered onto the smallest of the Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stackers Frame . This Delicate Lace Script come with two dies. One with all the upper case letters and the other die with the lower case letters and numbers. These numbers were the perfect style for this anniversary card.

I would like to invite you to join the CLD bi-weekly challenge
