Beautiful Gardenia's

 Hello everyone, today I have a card I created using Cheery Lynn's Beautiful Dies & The Project Bins Stamps. I also used the Beautiful Cherry Blossom Club Scrap kit as well. I had so much fun creating this beauty and hope you enjoy it too!

On my card for today I chose to use 5 different dies, and I will list them below for you :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Gardenia Strip die, as I really enjoyed creating my flowers. And the Rose Leaf strip was fun as well. I ended up distressing the leaves, and due to the way Cheery Lynn created these beautiful leaves, made for distressing them easy and I think they turned out BEAUTIFUL!
 I Love to layer, so I chose to use Cheery Lynns Large Oval stitch and cut tool to begin the layering on my sentiment layer. Next I used the Polynesian Sails Oval Doily, and then I used the Oval Classic.

I made 2 bows using RRR Satin, and then glued them under my sentiment layer. My card came together super fast, as super easy! LOVE that!

B339 Gardenia Strip
B241 Rose Leaf Strip
DL153 Polynesian Sails Oval Doily

Just Poppin

 Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all!
Today I have a fun card I created for The Project Bin using this super sweet stamp set  & Coordinating Die set called "Just Poppin". Its so cute, there are sentiments to go along with this darling set, just LOVE it!

I searched and searched for some fun design paper to go with this, and wanted to try make the popcorn bag in a pink and white, instead of red and white, as I thought I would be so cute. And I LOVE it! The sentiment is stamped in black ink, and the popcorn was done in a yellow.

My card was created using 1 sheet of design paper, its double sided. I also used brown card stock for the layering on my card today.

The pearls and Ribbon are from Really Reasonable Ribbon, they are scraps I keep on my work station to use up :)
Thank you for stopping by, and have a super awesome weekend!

Club Scrap Released this month another Gorgeous Collection called Cherry Blossom, and its beautiful! I LOVE the soft colors, and all the beautiful design papers, they are all BEAUTIFUL! I also love love love all the stamps in this collection as well1

On my card I used the Beautiful Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Gorgeous Pearl embellishments. I have to say that I think im addicted to these fun beautiful little half backed pearls, they make for beautiful flowers and embellishing anything on your card.

The Ribbon is gorgeous and makes for an easy bow for todays card. I chose to use this months Cherry Blossom kit for the design paper and stamps. I also cut out the stamped flowers and added the Really Reasonable Ribbon Pearl Embellishments, in 8mm, and love the way they turned out. I also popped them up using Really Reasonable Ribbons Foam Tabs

My Bow was created using Really Reasonable Ribbons white satin, and my bow consist of 4 loops on each side, with a large pearl in the center. I also save the wires from the flowers that I get from RRR to tie my bows together. Love recycling these.

I hope you enjoy my card today, as I surely enjoyed creating this one. I always love when cards come together super easy, and this one did just that :)

Wedding cake shaker card

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all!

Today's card features the beautiful Wedding Cake Shaker Kit and several other beautiful dies from Cheery Lynn Design! I LOVE using the shaker kits from Cheery Lynn as they have everything you need to create a shaker for your card, and they are super easy to make!

So for my card I chose to use some beautiful shimmer butterfly design paper for my wedding cake. I LOVE the way it looks paired with the DCWV design paper. I did cut a different print for the backing on the wedding cake. I added tons of the little bride and groom metal pieces to the shaker part of this card :)

I then cut out a Priscilla Doily in black card stock, so the shaker would show up well, and behind it I used the beautiful Royal Scandinavian Doily die, cut in the same shimmer design paper.

The flowers are cut using Cheery Lynn's Medium Rose die, cut in coordinating card stock. I then distressed the edges of the petals using black ink. For the Greenery I used Cheery Lynn Step Card Bundle for the greenery pieces in it. I chose the 2 smaller greenery.

For the corners of my card I used the  BD-17 Corners set. and cut the one corner out in black four times.

Lastly I added some sewing in black, and Really Reasonable Ribbon in white satin for my bow.


I hope you enjoyed my post for today!
Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!

Shasta Daisy Pages & Video Tutorail

 Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to all!
Today I have another 2 page layout for the Mini Album I've been working on. This one features the Cheery Lynn Shasta Daisy Flower die, and Club Scraps Delft Collection! LOVE this one, and I do have a Video Tutorial sharing how I did these using the Copic Airbrushing.
 Lately I've been sharing some old family photo's, some of my dear Grandma who I miss so much. This one above is her with my 1st child Britney. Britney was 1 year in this photo, and I LOVe this photo of my grandma, brings back so many happy memories and times I spent with her. My Granddaughter Chloey looks just like her mommy did here, and she will be 1 in May.

On this page I used the Shasta Daisy and did airbrushing on them. I also used the Pierced Stacker #2 XL-20 for the photo and the frame behind it, and for the journaling tag. The wreath pieces are from the Wreath Strip, and I did use the Flourish #8 here too.
 


Next is the page with my and Britney when she was 1 1/2 years old. On this page I carried over the Shasta Daisy as I love the way they look. I also chose to use the Flourish #8 by Cheery Lynn cut out in white and airbrushed with green copic markers. The oval /and scalloped oval frames were cut using Cheery Lynns Oval Classic, and Scalloped Oval dies. 
Cheery Lynn Dies Used:
 
 
All design paper is from Club scrap Delft Collection, I love this collection of design papers, and card stock, its perfect for mini albums, layouts, and card making!
 
Pearls are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
 
The little tag is a cut a part I used  from the Delft Kit as well, and added the date and a embellishment to it.
I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you so much for stopping by!

April is Autism Awareness Month, and this set is all about living with autism, but it’s versatile enough for anyone to express their love for someone special. Also Love how this set coordinates with the die in "In my Heart Set".
So for my card I chose to use Graphic45 design paper, and bazzill card stock. Next I used the Beautiful Spencer's Set to create my Heart piece by stamping the heart puzzle pieces onto the coordinating design paper. I then use the heart die from" In My Heart Set" to cut out my puzzle piece heart shape. All stamps were stamped using Club Scrap Black ink.

For the Doily, Frame,Oval, and flowers were all cut out using Cheery Lynn Design Dies. I LOVE the beautiful Shasta Daisies, which were all cut in white card stock, and then air brushed using the copic airbrushing system. For the centers I used some of Really Reasonable Ribbons Sweetheart Blossoms, and I think they look really cute! Ribbon for my bow is also from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I love how my card turned out for today, and I'm entering it into these challenges for today!
