Vintage Christmas

Today's Cheery Lynn card is one that I have just fallen in love with.  First I'm using the latest Christmas collection from KaiserCraft, St. Nicholas.  It has such a great vintage feel that compliments my style of card perfectly and really goes nice with my die cuts.

I love the way the handmade poinsettias show their veins from the die.  It adds to the realistic look of the flowers.  Cheery Lynn Dies make it so easy to just layer and layer and come up with some fantastic creations. 

Here is a complete list of all the dies used on this card, so you can create your own.  Have a great weekend and I'll see you next week.

Top Note: Film Strip Style

This is a film strip frame I did for KaiserCraft using the Top Note Collection and I just love the way it turned out.  Granted it doesn't have a lot of fuss but sometimes projects just don't need that.  My son was acting like such a goof one night in the hot tub and I got these great shots of him...perfect for this frame.  I loved the finished result so much it now graces my office, so I can smile at it everyday. 

 

 

Napkin Fold Card

This is a really fun fold card I did for KaiserCraft using " The Curiosity Collection" .  The type of fold is called a napkin fold and it opened up to reveal quite a bit of detail....nice with all the colors going on. 

 

The corners and the flower were both created with my Cheery Lynn Dies.  I don't think I could do one project without them, LOL.

 

Hope you had a great weekend and I'll see you mid week.

Faux Fabric Ruffles Tutorial

Today I have a quick little tutorial to share with you for making faux fabric ruffles.  

Step One: Cut card stock with a border die of your choice.  I used the Anastasia Border B136. 

Step Two: Spritz water on the front and back of your paper and let it soak in for a minute.

Step Three: Pinch and gather your paper along the top, letting the bottom ruffle out.  You could use tweezers or a piercer, but I find it’s just as easy with my fingers. 

Step Four: Slightly pull out to the desired look and let the paper dry completely.  If you want to speed up the drying time you can use a heat gun.  

Here is an example of the ruffle applied to a project.  Check back Friday for the finished project and to see how I used the faux fabric ribbon.  

Beauty Layout

I love, love, love the latest collection from KaiserCraft, Curiosity.  It really is stunning.  I love the colors and the combination of themes with the collection and I'm sure you'll agree. 

Be sure to check back throughout the week as I have several tutorials coming up for you. 

Bold but Beautiful

Good Morning, it's that time of the week that I get to share my latest Cheery Lynn Designs creation with you.  Today I have a bold card in color but it is still delicate with the flowers and the hummingbird.

For the backing on the lace hummingbird I just mounted the die on some black card stock and then cut out leaving a bit of an edge.  

Here is a complete list of the dies used in the project

Lace Hummingbird B194

Lattice 2 FRM115

Daisy Strip B259

Build a Flower B187

Pair of Ferns B118

Use your Scor-Pal to add texture

Scor-Pals are great for making boxes and dimensional cards, but do you think about it for decorating your card stock?  Today I would love to share with you how simple it is to make custom patterned card stock. 

Use your Scor-Pal to score the pattern you would like on your card stock.  I've used Core'dinations paper just so it will really show but you can use any card stock you like.  

Sand all of your raised score lines to accent the pattern

I've topped off my card with an adorable stamp from Viva Las Vegas, Plate #1432.  I love Roosters so this was the perfect stamp set for me.  

Matchbox topped with a flower

Today I wanted to share a project I created using the latest collection from Cheery Lynn.   This is a set of matchboxes with handmade flowers to top them off. 

Even the ribbon going down the side is a die from Cheery Lynn.  Isn't it adorable?

I hope your week is awesome and I'll see you on Wednesday.
