Birthday Wishes


Hi peeps, today I'm sharing a birthday card.  I like to have birthday cards handy but never seem to have enough.  I really like blue and green together as a color combination and I found a paper pack that had these colors so I cut stars, added rhinestones and voila, the card was finished.


The Birthday wishes die actually came within a circle but it was so simple to cut out and use by itself, a couple of cuts with my scissors and the die works in two ways.  I love adding versatility to my supplies.

Cheery Lynn Birthday WIshes


Hi friends!  I'm back today sharing a birthday card.  Blue is one of my favorite colors and I thought I'd even match the Chrysanthemums.  The patterned card stock is double sided so I played around turning elements over to get the patterns to look best.  I really liked how the Chrysanthemums look cut from the matching patterned paper.  This is a small flower die set but it's a perfect size for cards and packs a big punch.


I used the Birthday Wishes Circle and cut a circle from the Circle Stitch and Cut Tool to add behind.  I really like the extra detailing the stitching adds on the circle.  The two larger Pierced Banners were cut using coordinating paper from the same pack.

Cheery Lynn Cool Dude Shaker


Hello!  I'm sharing a masculine clean and simple style card using the new Cheery Lynn Shaker Dies.  I used the Star Shaker for this card and the Pierced Star dies.  The points on the pierced stars are less rounded but the neon green color unites them visually.


The shaker pieces inside are from the Mini Happy Birthday and Mini Confetti sets.  They work really well together. The Confetti shakers are made up of circles, squiggles, squares and triangle shapes.  I couldn't find my beads (it's always when I need something I can't seem to find it!) but along with the confetti and Happy Birthday I would have also liked to incorporate some beads into the shaker.  

These shakers are so simple to create with the layered dies and they really create an extra wow factor on a project.  My kids just LOVE them.

Cheery Lynn November Release Blog Hop - Shaker Collection!




Hi crafty peeps!  Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs November Shaker Blog Hop!   I am so excited to show you one of Cheery Lynn's fun and versatile new Shaker Dies.  Check out my teammates blogs along the hop so you can see more in action!  If you arrived from Debbie's blog you are on the right track.  If not, you can head back to the main blog HERE to start from the beginning.  Make sure to stop back at the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog and comment there for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate. 



For this card I created the shaker first using this tuturial .  I've made shakers before but having the dies to cut a perfect foam backing makes this so neat and easy.  I've never seen anything like the shaker pieces either.  They are so cool!  They are a shiny thin metal and they are tiny (perfect for shakers) but they have so much detail.  I used both the Shaker Mini Happy Birthday and the Shaker Mini Confetti die that came in the kit.  I have enough left over for at least one more shaker, if not two.



I used an A2 card, cut a piece of patterned paper using the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped set, and then built the card from there.  I layered the You Are Awesome sentiment four times.  I needed contrast between the patterned papers and layering it also added another dimensional element to the card.  To finish the card I added som yellow glitter glue to the candle flames.

Cheery Lynn For Someone Special


Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card I created after being inspired by a piece of patterned paper.  I layered a piece of blue card stock behind the patterned paper and then glued them to an A2 card.  I created the central flower using the Black Eyed Susan Strip die.  The die comes with a center that you roll with a quilling tool or maybe around a stylus or toothpick.  The center of the flower adds interest and texture.  


The white flowers are from the Sweet Christine die and all of the foliage is from the Floral Bouquet Kit.  It's one of my new favorite foliage dies.  I really like the leaf shapes and the variety that is included.  It's perfect for any floral cluster.  Last I double layered the Whimsical For Someone Special sentiment.  I added the white card stock offset behind so the blue would stand out more.  The background paper was overpowering the words without the extra white behind.

Cheery Lynn Birthday Wishes


 Hi, I'm posting today with a card inspired by blue flowers I saw on Pinterest.  I love looking around on all the boards.  If you missed any of Cheery Lynn's blog posts and want to see more inspiration you can follow them on Pinterest.  


 I started this card by creating the blue flower, choosing a background paper that coordinated with the colors.  Then I filled in the leaves from the Floral Bouquet Kit die, added the Birthday Wishes Circle on top of a circle from the M4 set and last added a small butterfly.  It was really a quick card to make, the longest part was probably accordion folding the leaves on the flower.  I hope you like the result.


To finish things off I glued a gem in the center of the Stacker Flower #5 and more on the butterfly and embellished the leaves with glitter glue and the petals with glossy accents.

Cheery Lynn You're Super!


Hi, I'm back today with another superhero card.  I used a number of the same dies and image from my last one, but switched up a few things.  I began by layering design papers with red, white and blue card stock.  I stamped and colored the Kraftin' Kimmie image with copics before cutting it out with the Circle Stitch and Cut die.  The stitching adds such great detail.


I popped up the background from the Action Words die and added letters from the Varsity 3/4" Tall Uppercase Alphabet.  I also adhered the Pennant with foam adhesive for extra dimension. To add the blue to the center of the pennant, I just cut the centers out of another pennant I had cut.  I really liked the contrast of adding another layer to the pennant.  Last I added a few adhesive gems to the pennant.

Cheery Lynn Happy Birthday


Hello crafting friends!  I'm so excited to share the new Cheery Lynn release dies with you tomorrow.  Make sure to check back here to see what I've made using some of the new dies. 

Today I'm sharing a birthday card made with Cheery Lynn dies.  I never seem to have enough birthday cards when I need them and I've been itching to use this dragonfly.  He's a large die so he would also be great on scrapbook pages.  I found this pretty designer paper in my stash and planned all the colors around it.  

The Lattice #3 background was half of the die cut left over from another project.  I thought it would work here instead of adding one of the doilies I  usually use to back my florals.  The flowers were made with the Tea Rose Medium die.  I colored them with distress ink, shaped them with a molding tool and added rhinestone centers.  I used the matching leaves that are also in the die and added in the Olive Branches.  I added white flowers to the Olive Branches from the baby breath kit in the Embellishment #2 set.  The tiny flowers add interest.

The dragonfly was cut twice.  The top layer was colored lighter colors and covered in glitter glue before being glued onto the darker backing.  Happy Birthday were cut in a dark purple paper to match the background layer.

Scrapyland Happy 6th!

Hello!  I'm posting today with a neon birthday card I made for Scrapyland's new challenge  "Add an Image". 


I wanted to make something special for my niece's sixth birthday and this is what I created.  I stamped the image, colored her in with both Copics and Shin-han markers and then cut her out with a Cheery Lynn Oval die.  I sponged distress ink around the circle and then popped her up with foam tape on top of some designer paper.  

I sprinkled a number of die cuts around her.  It was my first time using this Die Versions Corner Concepts die but it's perfect for simple birthday cards and I think I'll be using it MUCH more now.  The cake in the circle is another die from my stash and I glued the Avery Elle Count on It number six to a small tag.  I made the six and cupcake sparkly by adding glitter glue.

Thanks for looking and I hope you can join the new Scrapyland challenge for a chance to win a gift certificate to the store!

Classy Cards Birthday Wishes Tag

Hello Friends!  This is a tag I made inspired by the current Classy Cards 'n Such Color Inspiration challenge.  The color challenge is pretty broad:  Use Red, Pink, Blue, Green & Yellow.  In figuring out how to incorporate all these colors I got an idea to use my distress ink.


I started by cutting a tag from an old manila folder using a Tim Holtz die from my stash.  I placed a Memory Box stencil very similar to the Memory Box  Pattern Tula Stencil sold at Classy Cards 'n Such on top while I sponged various distress inks using a Mini Ink Blending Tool.  To get the colors to blend and add a little glam I sprayed Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl over the top.  

While the ink was drying I cut the Birthday Wishes words out of the Impression Obsession Greeting set and colored them with blue distress ink.  When the tag was dry I glued the words and  Water Dew Drops to the surface, added some string and was done.  This almost has a tie dye appearance which is kind f fun.  I think I could use it both for a gift for an adult or for a child.  

Thanks for visiting and I hope you can join in the challenge this week!

Cheery Lynn Birthday Stars


Hello!  I'm back today with a card using these new Pierced Stars from the July  Cheery Lynn Designs Release.  I used three different sizes from the set and cut the centers out of two of them to get the outline.  I used a magnetic shim to help with the positioning of the dies so the resulting star would have an even edge.


I used an A2 size base card to start, glued a yellow card stock mat on top, then adhered the patterned paper on top with foam adhesive.  I glued three of the yellow Pierced Stars on top and popped up one with foam adhesive for extra interest.  Happy and Birthday were cut and layered over the stars.

Classy Cards Joyful Birthday

Hello and welcome to the blog today!  I'm sharing a card I created this for the latest Classy Cards 'n Such Adding Texture challenge. 



The base is a white A2 card that I embossed with Anna Griffin's  Cheery Blossom embossing folder. I cut a rectangle in black using Impression Obsession's Rectangles 6-in-1 Frame and glued it on top.  The flowers were made by cutting the flowers from Heartfelt Creations Botanical Wings dies using white card stock.  

Before coloring the petals I scrunched them up, accordion folding the edges.  Then I spritzed the petals with Picked Raspberry Distress Spray and then again with Pearl Glimmer Mist.  I scrunched the petals even more and let them dry.

The banner is an Impression Obsession die from my stash that I popped up using Joy! Crafts Foam Pads.  Once the flowers were dry I glued pearls in the centers and adhered them to the card front with Scor-Tape.  I added some white leave around from a Crafty Ann die from my stash.  

Thanks for visiting and I hope you can join in the fun challenge this week for a chance to win a great prize!

Classy Cards Birthday Rose


Hi!  I never seem to have enough birthday cards, especially when I need them in a pinch so it's what I make whenever I get the chance.I began by stamping the Stacy Stamps Rose Stamp with worn lipstick distress ink on white card stock.  The beautiful detail of the stamp stood so well on it's own that I left it uncolored.   It also saved time.  This was a quick card and I love when things just come together.

If you've seen my posts you know I love 3D flowers, and this card was no exception.  I cut the Heartfelt Creations Botanical Wings rose die with white card stock and colored the edges with more worn lipstick distress ink.  After it was shaped with Paper Shaper Molding Tools and glued, I pressed the finished flower into versamark ink and covered with a sparkly embossing powder from my stash.  Most of the glittery material blew off even though I heated from underneath but it left enough color and texture.   I then added a little yellow distress ink and glued a pearl to the center. 


I found the rose leaves left over from another project in my scrap bucket but this botanical wings die does come with leaves too that are similar.  These were colored with a combination of mowed lawn and peeled paint distress ink.   The Happy Birthday sentiment was cut from the Impression Obsession Greeting Set.  This is my go-to die set for sentiments.  It has a lot of basic words in such a pretty script font and is a perfect size for card making.

Cheery Lynn Happy Birthday

Hi, today I'm sharing my very first post for Cheery Lynn Designs!  I tend to gravitate to using pinks, blues and greens on cards so I thought I'd try to mix things up a bit and use yellows and oranges.


I created the background by cutting the Princess Window from white card stock and gluing a slightly smaller piece of patterned paper to the back.  The window was adhered with foam adhesive to a another patterned paper cut with the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame, and then backed by a gray 5.5" square card.

The orange Large Roses and yellow Cuties 3 flowers were colored with glimmer mists, shaped with paper shaping tools and glued with score-tape to the Princess Frame.  I tucked leaves and flowers from the Flourish Leaf Strip and Dandelions into the arrangement and added the distress ink colored mushrooms underneath.



I cut the Small Exotic Butterfly 2 with blue patterned paper and darkened the edges with distress ink. Happy Birthday was glued to the top of the Sentiment Tag 2 which was then popped up with foam adhesive.

Classy Cards Birthday Wishes

Hi, today I'm sharing a card for the new Classy Cards 'n Such Fancy Pearls challenge.  Add a pearl, use one item sold at Classy Cards 'n Such (this is the easy part, there is such a wide selection) and link up a new project for a chance to win a great prize!  If you use my coupon JENNY-10 you can save 10% off your entire purchase at the CCNS Store.


I found this frame in my scrap bin and began creating.  It was cut with Love Letters paper using Impression Obsession's 6-in-1 Frame die.  The Memory Box Petite Cakes were cut from another soft pink paper from the Love Letters 6x6 paper pad and decorated with liquid pearls from my stash.

The Memory Box Scalloped Cake Stands were heat embossed using Shabby White embossing powder from the Frantage Embossing Powder set.  I love the shiny coverage and the cake stands look like glass.

After the cakes and frame were assembled and adhered to the background paper using Joy Foam Adhesive Pads I decided the card needed another color.  I found a pretty green coordinating paper in the Love Letters paper pad and cut the Impression Obsession Tied Line and Impression Obsession Greeting Set to get the Birthday Wishes phrase.

Then came the fun part.  I glued pearls to the sides of the frames and a Rock Candy adhesive gem to the center of the bow on the Tied Line die.   I sprayed the Chalk White Seam Binding with Pearl Glimmer Mist and scrunched it before tying a bow.  It really shines.  The bow was tied to the frame using some silver twine from my stash.

Classy Cards Happy Birthday!

Hi, I'm posting today with a Clean and Simple style card I made for a friend's birthday.  It's featured on the Classy Cards 'n Such Blog today.  If you use coupon JENNY-10, you can save 10% off your entire purchase at the CCNS Store.


I began by cutting the Memory Box Lattice with Kraft card stock.  I cut the Happy Birthday using Impression Obsession's Greeting Set dies and colored the phrase with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  The Tattered Lace Fern die was cut with white card stock and colored with a variety of  green Distress Inks and a Mini Blending Tool.

The flower was created from the new Heartfelt Creations Botanical Wings die.  I wanted a flat flower for easier mailing so I only used three of the layers.  After spritzing with a Glimmer Mist from my stash I molded the flower using my Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and Molding Mat.  I applied Stickles to the edges and then added a Clear Rock Candy center.

Last I popped up the top card layer by using Joy Foam Pads to adhere it to the A2 card base.  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out CCNS's Going Green Challenge that ends today for a chance to win a great prize!

Dies R Us Birthday Bouquet

Hi,  I made this for the new Anything Goes With a Twist (Something New) Challenge at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  Come over and join the fun for a chance to win a gift voucher to the Dies R Us Store.  There is an amazing selection of dies and free USA shipping if you spend over $35 and free International over $50.


This Magnolia Tilda stamp, Die-Mensions Birthday topper die and Spellbinders Labels 42 Decorative Elements are all new for me.  

The Spellbinders Labels 42 die is gorgeous but because it's so intricate I found that using a layer of wax paper between the die and card stock helped with smooth removal from the die.  I love this new die-mensions birthday topper.  It's such a different die that adds a fun element on projects.  I'm looking forward to embossing it and making it look like metal on future cards.  

Thanks for looking and get some of your new goodies together and come and join our latest challenge!  Happy New Year!

Classy Cards Snapdragon Wishes



I needed a quick birthday card for a friend and this is what I created.  I used the Anna Griffin Cherry Blossom Embossing Folder on the background panel to add dimension.  I haven't been using as many of my embossing folders lately, but this one keeps getting pulled out of hiding.  I love the subtle texture it adds to my cards.  It's good for floral backgrounds and would be good for winter scenes too since it almost looks like snowflakes.

I stamped the Stacy Stamps Snapdragons onto white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I then cut the white panel using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A die set.  I colored the flowers with Copic markers and then used clear Stickles to highlight the flowers.  They really sparkle.

Wishes was cut from Kraft Card Stock using the Impression Obsession Greeting Set.  This is a go-to set for me lately, it's perfect for so many occasions.  I'm really hoping IO comes out with more phrases, it's such a pretty font.  I cut the purple mat using the next larger die in the Spelbinders A2 Matting Basics A Set.  I adhered the purple layer using Joy! Foam Pads for dimension.

To finish I wrapped some twine around the main panel.  I liked how the twine coordinated with the Kraft Card Stock adding the perfect touch.  Thanks for looking!

Classy Cards Birthday Wishes


Hello!   Lately I've been inspired by cards on Pinterest.  It's such a fun site and did you know that Classy Cards 'n Such has it's own Pinterest boards?  You can check them out HERE!

The only stamp I used is the huge Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card Wooden Plank.  I stamped it in vintage photo distress ink and then sponged weathered wood ink over it.  The entire panel was glued to a piece of Kraft Card Stock and then mounted onto an A2 card.  

The Memory Box Trellis Border Die was colored with antique linen and pumice stone distress inks. The pink flowers were cut with the Spellbinders Rose Creations die but you could get a similar look using the gorgeous new Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die Classy Cards now has in stock.  I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't sell out before my next order!  :)

The flowers were cut from white card stock.  The edges were sponged with pink distress ink and misted with Tattered Angels Pearl Glimmer Mist. While still damp, I stacked the flower layers and then scrunched them up being careful not to rip the petals.  Scrunching gives them a more tattered, vintage feel.  I waited until they dried and then glued the layers together.  I used about four flower petals pieces per flower.  They were popped up using Joy! Foam pads for extra dimension.

The Memory Bamboo Shoots leaves were cut out of Wausau Index Green card stock and colored with peeled paint distress ink.  The Joy! Crafts Billie's Branches were colored with shaded lilac distress ink. I sponged pink  distress ink on the Memory Box Whimsy Circle and antique linen distress ink on the Memory Box Quinn Flourish die cut and glued them to the card before positioning and gluing the flowers, Billie's Flourish Branch and the Bamboo.

The Birthday Wishes sentiment die was colored with distress ink to match the bamboo shoots and are from an Impression Obsession Greetings Set.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

HM Cheese Wishes



Hello!  This is my latest (and last) Guest DT spot over at the House Mouse & Friends Challenge.  The latest challenge theme is Food, Glorious Food!. You have two weeks to play, they always have great inspiration and fabulous prizes, so what are you waiting for?  :) Hope you can pop over and play along!

I was planning on using my HM blueberry tart stamp but when I finally sat down to work I couldn't find the image I'd colored.  I chose this as a replacement because I haven't used the stamp yet and it was quick to color.

I think I was in a sunflower mood after working on my latest Classy Cards 'n Such DT card for the Sunflower Inspired Challenge. I don't usually use a lot of yellow but when it comes to mice and cheese, I didn't think pink would be very appealing.  :)

I was inspired by a Mojo Monday sketch I found on Pinterest.  Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see what yummy creations you create!
