Cheery Lynn Designs Lace Themed Challenge

Hi friends. This week we have a great new Lace themed challenge over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog. I hope you’ll head over and link up a project to share with us.
My card today features the beautiful Daisy Lace Frame and I really wanted to make it ‘POP’. I cut it out of a piece of marbled paper I made many years ago. I kept the card really simple because I didn’t want to cover up any more of the lovely lace background.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:
FRM118 – Daisy Lace Frame
LPC-16 Rectangle Pierce & Cut Tool Lge Silver

My beautiful bow was made on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using Tropic and Turquoise Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon. I also ran a piece of Theresa White Crochet Lace across the middle under the sentiment panel.

Birthday Wishes Card

Hi friends. Today I’m sharing a pretty pink and brown birthday card created with some of my favorite Cheery Lynn Designs dies and beautiful ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
8-27-16-1 This beautiful Quadrafoil Square Doily is up there in my top all time favorites list. Isn’t it gorgeous?!

You know I’m also in love with making beautiful handmade roses and today I used the wonderful Medium Tea Rose die. I cut the layers in brown and tan and I inked the tan layer with an old script background stamp for texture and also inked the edges. I then shaped the layers and assembled.

Happy First Birthday Card

Hi friends. Today I have a pretty little First Birthday card to share that I created for a special little girl. I had fun embellishing with beautiful ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I will admit that I had NO game plan for this card and as is typically the case – I waited until the last minute. I never mean to do that, but time just gets away from me. Can anyone relate?

Luckily the card just seemed to come together by itself. I love when that happens.

So at times like this when it’s last minute, I don’t have time for handmade flowers, no matter how much I like to make them. Really Reasonable Ribbon carries a huge variety of Mulberry Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts for just such occasions, and it’s great to have some on hand for when you find yourself needing to put a card together quickly.

I pulled out some of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and a great 1st birthday digi stamp from Create with TLC and I was off to the races.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used

FRM154 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2
LPC-7 Oval Pierce and Cut Tool
XL-7 Oval Classic Large Stacker
L-7 Oval Classic Silver

My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using 5/8″ Bright Pink Plaid Ribbon and 5/8″ Hot Pink Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon. I also ran a piece of the Delicate Stitched Satin across the center of the card under the sentiment panel and topped that with a piece of 3/8″ Mixed Pink Confetti Dot Grosgrain Ribbon.
