Cheery Lynn Best Wishes

Hi everyone!  If you are in the US I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I needed a baptism card last week and made a card similar to this, I thought the white on white would work well for a wedding or shower card too.  It's difficult to see in the photo but the cream colored card stock has a beautiful metallic shimmer that adds an elegant touch.  

 I began with a 5.5" card base and then layered a square of white card stock cut with the Circle Pierce & Cut Tool.  I then added a shimmery layer cut with the Square Scalloped LG Stacker die.   Last I added the Quadrafoil Square Doilyand the Best Wishes also cut with shiimmery cream card stock.

Cheery Lynn Howdy!

Happy Thursday!  I'm back today with a card using this adorable Clarabell the Cow from the new Cheery Lynn Designs release.  If you missed yesterday's post on the CLD blog you can see all the new Cheery Lynn July release dies HERE.  My card was inspired bu the current White-on-White Challenge.

I used a cream colored 5.5" card base and layered the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker on top cut out of a shimmery card stock.  I layered an English Tea Party Doily die cut, cut with bright white card stock on top.  The center of the doily was cut out with the second smallest of the Silver Stacker Circle dies.  Clarabell the Cow was cut with a piece of the base card stock and the Howdy was cut again in white and glued in for contrast.  I also replaced her eyebrows with white ones.

The flowers were made using a molding mat, stylus tool and the Tea Rose Medium die.  I used a shimmery darker cream card stock for the flowers.  The leaves are from the Branches die.

Last I thought Clarabell needed a little flair so she's wearing the hat from the Arizona Cowboy die set.

Classy Cards Wedding Wishes

Happy Thanksgiving!  

I created this card for a friend's wedding.  I love the white on white look for cards, they always feel so crisp and fresh.  I recently put together a fall card with a similar design.  I switched out some of the dies and recreated it in white.

I first used the Spellbinders Gold Labels One die on two opposite sides of the 5.5" square front panel. The Spellbinders Botanical Swirls and Accents die could easily be substituted.  I used cryogen white card stock which has a beautiful shimmer.  The card base is cream.  Since the shimmery card stock was actually more cream than the white I typically use for card bases, I thought the cream underneath looked better and set off the other white nicely.

The flowers were cut from the new Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die.  I used both of my McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kits to form the flowers.  For the largest flower I used all of the die cuts and for the smaller flowers I used multiples of the smaller die cuts.  I glued the layers together and added flat-back pearls to the centers.  I adhered the flowers to the card using Joy! Foam Pads.

The leaves are from a Cheery Lynn Leaf Strip die that's no longer in stock at Classy Cards but there are many beautiful Cheery Lynn dies still available.  Use coupon CLD for 40% off!

The Congrats word is a Penny Black die.  Thanks for looking!
