Happy New Year 2016 With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hello! It's Lisa wishing everyone a fun, safe and wonderful Happy New Year 2016! 

This week's challenge is "Anything Goes" so I thought I would use "Clock" and "Balloons" for the celebration of the upcoming New Year. The balloons are the smallest and I added some floss for the string. The center of the clock was "Classic Circle-Silver" I used the smallest and printed a font from the computer. I then traced around the circle in black and fussy cut and distressed the edges. 

The "A2 Frame Rectangle Scalloped" was cut out, then I just layered it to make a square and cut it again. Lastly, I had to add some bling to make it a bit more festive. A few pop dots behind the clock and balloons.

Thank You Santa! With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi Everyone! Happy Holidays! Its Lisa here today sharing one last card before Christmas with Cheery Lynn Designs. It was inspired by this week's challenge "Thank You". So I thought thanking Santa was a fun choice. I used a font from my computer and printed it on the "Royal Scandinavian Tag 2"

I usually like to make larger cards but for today I decided to make a A2 card because it works so wonderfully with the "Royal Scandinavian Boutique" I just love the gorgeous edge. I placed some patterned paper on top and added some "Poinsettia's" on the top and bottom with pearls in the centers. 

I added last but not least some "Holly Leaves"in white with a few more pearls in the corners.

#266 Winter Wonderland With The Shabby Tea Room

Hi everyone! 

I hope everyone is well and having a wonderful holiday season! 

I have been very busy and have not been able to post this month as much as I would like to do. However, I sure I will be back next year with more free time on my hands. This card was made using this week's TSTR #266 Winter Wonderland theme of yummy cookies! The sentiment is from "Paper Sweeties" our sponsor for the next two weeks. 

Here is my interpretation using snowflake cardstock, whites and blues. I ordered a snowman die but it didn't get here in time for my post so I went with the snowflake theme instead

The center doily is from Cheery Lynn Designs and is part of the new release "Royal Scandinavian Doily Circle ".The roses were pre-made from Michael's and I of course had to add some pearls. 

A closer view with a finishing touch of a white satin ribbon and bow.

Christmas Present With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone, Its Lisa back this week with another Christmas card for Cheery Lynn Designs. This week's challenge is "Red and Green" so I had to make another card using the amazing "Poinsettia Strip" I really LOVE this die. It makes the most beautiful poinsettias in a snap! I decided to use the "Holly Flourish" instead of the leaves, they are both beautiful to use on your holiday cards. 

The background of the card was to represent a Christmas gift and then I layered it with the "Royal Scandinavian Doily Circle" It is so delicate and stunning! In the center I used "Circle Pierce and Cut Tool LG Silver" You can see the details below. In the center of the poinsettia I added a red pearl. It takes only minutes to have a beautiful card to send out this holiday.

Christmas Tags With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! It's Lisa sharing some Christmas Tags I made for Cheery Lynn Designs. It was inspired by this week's challenge "Tag Your It" Since it is already second part of November, I figured for sure it is time to make some cute tags for your Christmas packages. These tags are really easy to make too. The base of the three tags, I used "Pierced Stacker #2" I layered it twice using the second and the third largest dies. Then I just played with other dies to embellish. 

Here I used "Snowflowers Set 2" and some stamped doves. I stamped the sentiment on the second smallest "Pierced Stacker #2"

Next, I used a "Gingerbread Man" from the "Gingerbread Family", I added some wiggly eyes and placed red cardstock in the back for the buttons. The patterned paper I used "Horizon Fishtail Banner" and stamped on another "Pierced Stacker #2" for the sentiment. I also stamped and fussy cut out the bells.

Last, but not least, I stamped the sentiment on "Horizon Fishtail Banners" Die cut out two candy canes from "Gingerbread House" and die cut out "Christmas Lights Swag" I stamped and fussy cut out a two layered poinsettia.

Merry Christmas From Arizona To Iraq

Hi, Just sharing a new card that I mailed to my nephew in Iraq for Christmas with a huge box of goodies from home. I know he will enjoy it and I know it will be hard to be away from the family though the holiday too! Big Hugs!!!  

Since I live in AZ thought I would send this card stamped with a christmas cactus made by Great Impressions. The sentiment and stitched hillside are from Lawn Fawn. 

I kept it pretty basic since it is going to a guy...no flowers or bling. I distressed the edges and the ovals are from Spellbinders. I colored the image with copic markers and added some Liquid Applique for a bit of snow. 

A bit of embossing in the background for snow.

Package #1 I even put a small Christmas Tree in there.... Lots of Yummy goodies 

Package #2...I thought I would be able to fit it all in one box....not....some extras

Thanks for stopping by! 

Please send good wishes and a safe holiday for my nephew! I appreciate them! 

Thanks so much!

Hugs, Lisa

Tom the Turkey Table Decorations With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! It's Lisa back today sharing a new project and video tutorial on my Tom the Turkey Table Decorations for Cheery Lynn Designs. I wanted to make some cute little turkeys for my table this upcoming Thanksgiving. My brother has five children and I thought they would like them on their plates and then they can take them home. They are about 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Super easy to make and it gives your Thanksgiving table a bit of color. These were also inspired by this week's challenge "Autumn Colors"

The papers I used are only one sided patterned papers for my rosettes/feathers, but you can use double sided patterned papers to give your turkey a more fuller feathered look. I also added little wiggly eyes on the kraft turkey head, just to make them more playful for the children.

Here you can see the Tom the Turkey's from looking down...They really are fun to make....

Here is the quick video tutorial on how I made them: 

Thanks for watching!

Harvest Blessings

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a new card that was inspired by using two different colors that you usually don't see together very often. Green and Purples.... I originally was going to make the video tutorial for the pine cones but somehow they didn't make it to this card. lol So I added some flowers and bling to the sides of sentiment. 

The pine leaves and the stacker #2 are from Cheery Lynn Designs. I used my Distrezz It All for all the edges of the papers. 

Under the bottom stacker is a piece of burlap then...Between the stackers, I added pop dots. This card came together really quick too! Love when that happens! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Give Thanks With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! Its Lisa back with a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs. This week's challenge is "Give Thanks", so I thought I would make a autumn themed card using both sets of the "Small Leaves"So many leaves to choose from and so many different sizes. There are also acorns and I just used kraft cardstock and then colored the top with a copic marker. 

When I think of autumn, I think of the leaves and the crisp fresh air. So I added some bling to represent the wind. The sentiment was stamped on "Bottles" and I added more bling to the tops. Last I added a bow to match the kraft cardstock.

Home Sweet Home

Hi! 

Today I'm sharing with you a new card that I made for the upcoming Mesa Stamping Card Contest here in AZ. The theme is birdhouses and I have two beautiful birdhouse stamps. They are both from Heartfelt Creations. This one I used has these beautiful flowers. The doves are also from Heartfelt Creations. So, as many of my followers may know already, I can't color too well. I went to the scrapbook expo recently and there was a lady there trying to help me copic blend. Well, needless to say I didn't do as well as I liked but I gave it a try. 

They say that the inside of the card doesn't get displayed but I cant help myself...It feels incomplete if I don't add something. The sentiment was printed on the computer and chalked edges. The background frame and the leaves are from Cheery Lynn Designs. 

I had this tiny round pearl sticker for a long time...it was the perfect size to go around the birdhouse opening. So Ironic! 

Thanks for stopping by today and wish me luck!

Have a great day! 

Hugs Lisa
