Hi everyone!  Chrissy Mac here with a card project featuring Cheery Lynn Design's new Fall & Winter dies from Part Two of the four part release...and one of the funnest fall holidays for getting crafty...Halloween  There are 14 fun die Halloween themed die sets in this part of the release.

1. Black Card Stock used for base card
2. Medium grey card stock with canvas-like texture die cut with CLD LPC-16 Rectangle Stitch and Cut Tool (4.75 x 6.25")
3. Burnt orange card stock with die cut pattern paper (cut with CLD Card maker Rectangle Scalloped CM-2) overlayed on top and then cut with CLD FRM115 Lattice 2 Die.
4. Black card stock die cut with CLD Pair of Ferns B118 Die Set and the bat from CLD B829 Happy Halloween 4 Piece Die Set.
5. Grey Grass and Burnt Orange grass die cut with CLD CAFLRS-15 Grass Die. 
6. Tombstone cut out of white card stock using CLD B833 Walking Zombie 4 Piece Die Set and colored with distress ink pad and colored pencils.
7. Pumpkin cut out of burnt orange card stock using CLD B841 Ultimate Halloween 5 Piece Die Set and colored with distress ink pad and colored pencils.
8. Bottom Reverse Cut Black Grass was made using the remnant left behind after cutting the black grass (using CAFLRS-15) seen at the top of card.
9. Happy Catoween Whimsical Halloween Cat was made using white, black and burnt orange.  The black was cut out of a very heavy black chipboard.  I layered the spider in burnt orange and the bow in burnt orange.  The catoween sentiment was cut out of white card stock and inked with a dark mauve inking pad.
10. The rectangle behind "Happy Catoween" was die cut using the CLD LPC-16 Rectangle Stitch and Cut Tool (one of the smaller rectangles).
11. Finally...I just had to add flowers...well that was just because any cute cat, even a spooky one loves a garden frolic among flowers.  I used the patterned paper and the burnt orange paper to make these dimensional flowers that were die cut with the CLD B434 Sweet Christine flower die.
12. Oh and of course I added some lovely gem and bead embellishments for the center of the flowers and on that cute spooky little cat's bow.
13. I used an acrylic glossy finishing spray over the whole card after all was done and dry which created saturation on all of the colors.

Hello everyone.  I wanted to share with you all a wedding card featuring some wonderful classic die cuts using my Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  This lovely wedding couple is a must have in your craft tool kit as you just never know who might be getting married next.  This was actually inspired by a lovely woman named Eudora who was marrying her true love and wanted a keepsake card for the occasion.  Inside I placed a lovely picture of Eudora and her new hubby.

Weddings make me think of elegance, promises, memories and sometimes decadence.  The occasion is so often attended by family and friends all dressed in their very finest no matter the culture, religion or location.  Such thoughts surrounding making this card had me wanting to combine the classic elegance of cream with the metallic luster of silver.  For color I added various rustic warm peach and tans.  Almost makes you want to eat it, huh?  Oh yeah...we are talking about making a card...uh hum.  Anyways...

This card consists of 7 layers:  the base card in heavy cream color, a lovely peach and cream metallic
patterned paper, a heavy silver, a light brushed gold and a warm peachy brown.  I used 8 unique dies and a metal embossing plate from my Cheery Lynn Designs collection which included stacker frames, doilies, flowers, the wedding couple and I just had to use the "True Love" sweetheart candy die.  See my complete die list below.

Can you guess what on this card was a silly little secret crafty move?

No?  Well...okay then... I used reddish-pink sparkle nail polish on the embossed silver, the flower and the True Love heart for that extra "blingy bling bling"!  After all, weddings always have some sparkle right?



Thanks so much for joining me today.  I'll share more soon.  If you have any questions on how this was made, please don't to ask.  I read every comment and answer every question.

Hello!  Today I am sharing my first Cheery Lynn Designs Project called "Let's Grow Wise Together".  This is a card featuring the use of several Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  Whenever I design anything I always consider the color palette and color tone family I will be using and this project was no exception.  I chose soft warm tones using browns, pinks, rust reds, copper, warm muted yellows, muted dark greens and soft warm light beige.  Why?  Well...why not right?  And without further adieu...duh, da, da, dahh...owl love card!
Myself and all of Cheery Lynn Designs would love to see your creations too.  We have a fun  Pretty in Purple themed challenge going on. We'd love to have you enter for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Cheery Lynn Designs.
