April Unity Hop!

So glad you are joining us today for this month's Unity Blog Hop!

I've got two projects to share with you, and they are from the 

Cuddle Animal stamp kit collection by Unity Stamp Company!

First up, is this shabby little tag I made using the Cuddle Teddy Bear!

This could very well be used for a baby gift, using the other sentiment included!!

Lots of different elements like stitching, twine, rick-rack, lace, dies, flowers,

as well as machine stitching to create this one...

Second up, is this card I made using my Copics, dies, and this

amazing new Cuddle Butterfly stamp kit.  After I fussy cut the stamp...

I popped her up using some pop-dots, and her wings were folded a little upward to look

like she is still fluttering!  There's a little machine stitching, and a small banner

used for the sentiment.

Hello and thanks for joining this month's Unity Inspiration Hop!

I've got two watercolored cards to share with you today!

I love Phyllis Harris designs, and I thought these images below would be

so sweet in watercolor, so here ya go...

I used the background paper to inspire me to create

some watercolored flowers, so that is what I did here!

Kinda like the way they turned out and hope it will inspire 

you to give it a try, if you haven't tried to watercolor some

handmade flowers.  They really compliment that

sweet image of the little girl and duckie!

Grey Skies Happy

Then, my next card is watercolored in soft colors to compliment

the distressed ribbon to create a simple and shabby card!

Just love how he innocently is holding onto that flower (smile)!

Sheepishly Sweet

There's much to share, so hope you have fun on today's hop!

I'll be back later in this week to share more cards with  this new release!

Hello and thanks for dropping by this

Thursday's Unity Inspiration hop....

Sharing this amazing new stamp set designed by Graciellie Design,

and there are so many more to share with you today!

You'll thoroughly enjoy the new releases!

Just very minimal coloring, and I added a few little metal accents, jute,

and some fun stickers to the stamped image to go along with the

sweet message (really loving that font style)...

Enjoy the rest of the hop and have a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs & Smiles,

Wish You Were Here...

Hope you enjoy my latest shabby chic card, using my Cheery Lynn Design dies, 

along with pretty designer paper, and also some distress inks!!

Let's start by using the Fiona's Magic Mirror die for the base of the card, 

and then use the Card Maker Rectangle Classic right on top using

the polka-dot designer papers!  You'll notice that the embossing of the

Fiona's Magic Mirror really stands out, and here is how I did this...

Die cut on ivory card stock, then use some Black Soot Distress Stain.

Right away, you'll notice how the stain only stays on the 

top and not in the recessed pieces of the die!

Then, I die cut the Concentric Circles Mesh piece 

twice from ivory card stock,  and only used a portion of it!

I distress inked both pieces, to match the flower, and then layered 

one piece right on top of the other!  I used pop dots underneath

to raise it from the bottom framed piece.

Lastly, I created this distressed big flower using the leaf from

the Build a Flower #1. and the flower from the Judy's Blooms die!

To finish, I took the  Pierced Banners, and also distress inked it!

Then, I stamped the sentiment and cut it up, and placed onto

the banner to mimic a film strip effect!

Cheery Lynn dies used:

FRM140 Fiona's Magic Mirror

B402 Concentric Circles Mesh

DL303 Pierced Banners

CM-1 Card Maker Rectangle Classic

B181 Build a Flower #1

C184 Judy's Blooms

Come back tomorrow for another Cheery Lynn 

project featuring a few of the new release dies!!

Hugs & Smiles,

Cheery Lynn Designs New Release!!

Hope you are enjoying all the fabulous projects showcasing

Cheery Lynn Designs ** new release**!!

I'm excited to share this project with you today....

My inspiration comes from the AMAZING new Shuttered Window w/Flower Box die!

I love the way you can ever so slightly open the little shutters...

The top of the window frame as well as the flower box both have 

a bit of dimension to them...gotta love that!!!

The window has been popped up using my pop dots...

and is framed with the new Daphne Doily!!

I used the new Tiny Flower Kit #3 & Tiny Fanciful Flourish dies

and built an array of flowers popping right out of that flower box!!

Also, I added a little sparkle of glitter to the center of each flower!

Even the little mini butterfly has a tiny flower added!

Lastly, I hung a Tag #1 w/sentiment to my crinkly ribbon!

Here's a list of all the Cheery Lynn Designs dies that I used on my project:

** new Shuttered Window w/Flower Box

** new Tiny Flower Kit (set of 3)

** new Tiny Fanciful Flourish Left & Right

** new Daphne Doily w/Angel Wing
