Cheery Lynn Sweetheart Bear

Hello!  Thank you to all who left comments on my blog during last week's Cheery Lynn Designs blog hop.  I hope you had the chance to see all the beautiful projects my teammates created showcasing the new dies. 

This card fits Cheery Lynn's Sweetheats challenge theme.  I just love this adorable little bear and he fit so nicely into the new film die.  It's so simple to change around the colors of the heart he holds and the little accents on his feet and ears.  I backed his ears and nose with pink paper and glued in the little red hearts on his feet and the red heart in his hands.

I used the Deutschland Boutique Stacker for the background layer.  I often use this stacker.  It's interesting and lacy without being too frilly when I want an elegant touch.  The heart and arrow die was cut three times (in white, red and pink).  The arrow was colored black with a copic marker and I snipped sides off the red and pink die cuts to paper piece the red swirls and pink ribbon banner.  Last I piled a few of the sweetheart candy dies on top of the heart in his arms.

Classy Cards Rose Love

Hi!  I'm back  with a card for the latest Classy Cards 'n Such challenge Shabby Chic Heart.  Do your craft supplies ever disappear when you want to make something specific?  Lately I've been having that problem.  I really would have liked to use my Spellbinders Scalloped Heart die but it seems to have vanished just when I needed it.  

I substituted another heart die and this is the result.  If you need a quick card this was pretty simple to create but looks more complex.  I cut and colored my heart dies with Distress Ink.  I embossed the smaller heart with a dotted embossing folder for a little texture.  The Cheery Lynn word die was also colored with distress ink and glued to the top heart.  For dimension, I used Joy Foam Pads to connect the two hearts.

The pretty background paper is from Graphic 45's Botanical Tea stack and was glued to green card stock and then onto a white A2 card.

The delicate Rambling Rose die is from Tattered Lace.  I cut it twice.  The first one was colored green with Peeled Paint Distress ink and a Mini Ink Blending tool.  The second layer was also colored with a Blending Tool and distress inks.  I cut the leaves off the pink layer and then adhered them to the leaves with Joy Foam Pads.  These little dimensional squares are the perfect size for small die cuts and makes things so easy.

Last I added little white pearls around the heart for additional visual interest.   Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can join the new challenge at the Classy Cards 'n Such Blog.

Good Morning!  I have a new card to share that I created for the new Hearts. challenge going on over at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.

When I don't know where to start, I often flip through paper pads.  The papers inspire me and also makes coordinating a breeze.  I don't have many heart dies in my collection, but this La Rue Heart is just so lovely I had to have it.  

I cut the heart out of the gingham card stock and then cut it again out of the blue.  I popped up the gingham paper so the coordinating rose card stock would show through.   I covered the La Rue Heart in glitter and glued it to the rose card stock so it sits below the gingham layer.

I wanted to add a small border to the top and bottom so I cut a Cheery Lynn Horizon Coved Rectangles die and then cut off the scalloped sides.  It added just the right sized delicate scallop.

The Cheery Lynn Love die was cut and then covered with silver Frantage embossing powder.

Last I spritzed some seam binding tape with glimmer mist and made a bow topped with a button and added some sequins for sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!

Classy Cards Love Blossoms

Hi!  The new Classy Cards Home is Where the Heart Is Challenge made me think of this Spellbinders Hearts Circle die.  I found this scrap of paper that has a small heart pattern, paired it with the die, added the Memory Box Honey Blossom Sprig and voila!

I colored the pink background paper and Honey Blossom Sprig with Copics.  After I cut the Hearts Circle, I added green distress ink to the center using the die as a stencil.  The Justrite sentiment was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I cut extra flowers with the Honey Blossom Sprig die, colored them and popped them up with Joy! Foam Pads.  The hearts added to the flower were the extra negative pieces from the largest Heart Circle in the Spellbinders set.  I glued together three hearts before coloring and gluing them into position.  I like the extra dimension of the stacked die cuts.    

Last I added a little sparkle with a Wink of Stella Pen and added a piece of string from my stash.  Thanks for stopping by and I'm looking forward to seeing your creations.  Come and join the fun at Classy Cards N' Such for a chance to win a great prize!
