Beautiful Moments...

I have this elegant card & lovely sentiment "collect beautiful moments"!

Start by taking your Card Maker Rectangle Classic set and

layer three of them using grey and mustard designer papers.

Layer the smallest die from the Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frame

set across the top part of the smallest classic layer die in grey

with the bottom of that strip in ivory designer paper.

Then, make two Shasta Daisy flowers,

using the leaves from the Tea Rose Medium set,

and add a few of the Tiny Fanciful Flourish Right/Left in

between the flowers, and that's all!!

Shabby Sentimental Card...

Hello there! I made this shabby & thoughtful card  to share with you today!

To create this card, I used three of the six layers from the new Pierced Stacker #1 set!

I die cut them using different designer papers.  I also used the Circle Classic Silver Stacker

and placed it onto the bigger Pierced Stacker.

Then, I took the Royal Scandinavian Doily, and die cut it onto designer paper.  

I took that piece and glued it to the pierced piece that has the 

sentiment stamped on it.  I really like this extra effect this adds!

I complimented the papers by making three shabby Black Eyed Susan flowers.

I added the Leafy Flourish amongst the flowers...

Also, I added some machine stitching, and three pearls!

List of Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

XL19 Pierced Stacker #1

L4 Circle Classic Silver Stackers

B338 Black Eyed Susan 

B571 Leafy Flourish

DL298 Royal Scandinavian Doily

Season's Greetings...

So, here is my card for this week's Cheery Lynn Designs challenge...red & green!

I was inspired by my Creative Imaginations & My Mind's Eyes designer papers

to come up with this Christmas Card!

I created a few layers of red paper on top of the background paper,

and then used the Ankara Lace border to pop out from behind!

The Geometric snowflake takes center with a Circle die  and sentiment...

with the Horizon Fishtail Banner running down the left side of the card.

I made this distressed red flower using the Judy's Bloom die, and 

added a few little holly berries, to the center of it. 

The flower and petals were each frosted up

using my Snowcap Dabber, and I even added a few little

tiny pincecones that I purchased to add to the vintage feel!

List of dies used:

Horizon Fishtail Banners (set of 3)

Judy's Blooms

Circles

Ankara Lace Border

Build a Flower #1 Petals & Leaves

Geometric Snowflake

That's it for today....

Hope to pick out our Christmas tree today!

Let the decorating begin!

Have a wonderful day!
