Let Your Soul and Spirit Fly

 I had so much fun creating this mixed media triptych and couldn't wait to share it with you.  The form was from Retro Cafe Art and it was exactly what I had been looking for.  After I misted the background,I added some gilding flakes and then started stamping the flat background images.  Then I used modeling paste and stencils to add French Script words.  I stamped the large Peony image onto vintage French dictionary pages using Versamark Ink and embossing powder.  After that was heat set, I fussy cut the image and adhered it to the panel.  I overstamped images and heat embossed them as well to add more dimension.  I love how these colors pop together!

Chipboard circle, painted with 3D Metallic Stamp paint, then stamped with holly branches. Also check out the die-cut doily that was created using the Decorative corner dies.

Poinsettias were colored gold with mists and shaped while wet.

 

Pine cones add texture to the flower clusters. They were stamped, fussy cut and glittered.

The sentiment stamp serves as a title for the layout.

Heartfelt Creations Inspiration

Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going great.  I've got a Heartfelt Creations card to share with you today that really shows off the beautiful rose you can create using the Vintage Floret stamps and dies. 

Cut patterned base paper at 5 3/4" x 5 3/4", ink the edges and mount to a 6 x 6 cardstock base.  Die cut the lace border from cream cardstock ink over the bottom 2/3rds of the border using the honey ink. Back the lace border with mauve paterned paper.  Adhere ribbon and add pearls to the ribbon. Cut 2 decorative pieces from the Timeless Amour die set, and use to frame the sentiment from the paper collection. Stamp the 3 smallest sizes of flowers - one bold, and one open flower for each size, using the peony ink. Die cut with the matching die. Shape using the mat and tools. Stamp and cut the foliage as shown, and assemble the card.

Birthday Wishes

Today is my husband's birthday, so of course, I wanted to make him a special card.  I always love when his birthday rolls around, because at least for 6 months, he catches up to my age - lol!

I embossed the bottom layer using the Spellbinder's M-bossablity Regal folder.  I brushed a bit of the Tarnished Brass Distress Stain over this to elegantly distress it.  I stamped the JustRite Shabby Music Background  stamp onto the bronze paper using Versamark Ink and embossed it in gold.  After it was embossed, I used Spellbinders Standard Circles to cut it.  I added glitery dots around the edge using a gold Viva Decor Glitter Liner.  The next layer was the May Arts ribbon (QM 18) - which is one of my favorite ribbons at the time.  I got a chance to use the new Spellbinders D-Lites Medallion Five - which is so beautiful!  My sentiment was stamped from the JustRite set Grand Sentiments and framedwith the Fancy Framed Tags Two.  The butterfly was also stamped from the same set and embossed in gold.  I used the Faber-Castell gelatos to add a little color to the center.

You're So Special

I'm so excited to share my first official project for this term of the  Heartfelt Creations Design Team!  Not too long ago, HC introduced a new line of paper, and if you haven't used it yet, you are going to love it.  It's a very nice weight, and very smooth - just perfect for making flowers.

So let's get started!  This is a 6 x6 card.  Stamp the Delicate Asters and Butterflies stamp in embossing ink, emboss with gold powder. Cut the image using Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles. Die cut one large Labels 21 from the patterned paper, ink the edges.  Trace around the outside of this die onto reflective gold paper and hand trim. Cut two of the large semi-circles from the Layered Scalloped Posy die - glue beneath the curves of the Label 21.  Add pearls to the flower centers. Stamp 3 each of the two smallest flowers in the Delicate Asters set and cut with the coresponding die. Shape using the tool kit and assemble adding 3 layers of the flower centers in the middle.  Finish with a pearl. Stamp and cut two leaves from the same set.  Position the flower and leaves over the same image from the gold embossed layer. Stamp the sentiment and cut with Ribbon Banners. Shape the banner so that it curves up in the center - adhere with Zip Dry. Add ribbons and pearls to finish.

So Thankful!

I found out some fantastic news! I am a semi-finalist for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team.  I completely love their products, and have been on the team before - and really missed working with them.  I sent in three projects for the submission, and would love to share them with you, but... one has been picked up for publication (woo hoo!), one is still being considered for publication (fingers crossed) and the final one will be on the May Arts Blog on October 11th ( and I don't want to spoil the surprise).  A little bit of panic set in, as to what I could share with you, so I made a new card for you.

The design team process is a little different....the semi-finalists have been chosen, but they are counting on people to vote for the finalists.  You must choose at least 5 of your favorites, and when you do, you are entered to win a $50 Heartfelt Creations Gift Certificate!

I used several stamp sets on this one - Flora Grande 1(HCPC3375); Flora Grande 2 (HCPC3374) ; Distressed Leaves (HCPC3376); Swirly Autumn Leaves (HCPC3328).

My flowers were embossed with Wow Gold Embossing Powder, and then colored with Viva Decor Gold - and then lightly spritzed with Smooch Spray in River Mossy.  I also added a little bit of Gala Glitz Glitter (Blue Waltz). May Arts Ribbons were layered across the card and for the bow: Crochet with Velvet Center 372-1-34 and Sheer/Center Band QM18.   Papers were from DCWV Rustic Stack.

 

Now, I can't show you my submission projects, but I can give you just a couple of  tiny peeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm really thankful that you stopped by my blog to see my creations and hope that if you like what you see you will go to the Heartfelt Creations blog and vote for me - Gini Cagle.  Thanks again!

Aw, Shucks

Aw, shucks! Doesn't my sweet nephew look adorable wearing his cowboy hat (he was actually watching Saturday morning cartoons - and had to have on his proper attire!) So sweet, but I can't believe how little he was here.

I wanted to show you the difference in the Cheery Lynn Designs older style roses and the one made with the new Build a Flower 2. 

The large flower is made with the Build a Flower 2.  With one pass of the die, you can cut 10 petals at a time - how awesome is that!? And did you notice the rose bud? I adore it - and it's so simple to make. The smaller rose was made with the Large and Medium Roses, but I love how this lets you have different sized flowers on the same project.  The Baby's Breath was made with the Build a Flower Accessories 2.  There are just so many flowers that we can create now, and Mike is already working on the 3rd die in this series! To see some of the possiblities that you can already create - please have a look at the Build a Flower Tutorials. We will be adding to this - so if there is any type of flower you'd like to see, let us know!

Our challenge this week is Anything Goes - so show us your projects using Cheery Lynn Designs and you could win a $20 gift certificate!

Wishing Well

I am so blessed to have the best sister in the world! I found this picture of us sitting on a Wishing Well, when we were little, and decided it was time to be scrapped!

I added the Houndstooth embossing using  a Crafter's Workshop Stencil.  I sprinkled Wow Suzy West Earthtone Paprika over most of the circle, and finished up the rest with the Earthtone Honey.  Then I added just a little Sierra Sunrise across the whole thing to give it a little glimmer.

I made a dimensional Wishing Well to embellish my page.  I stamped the bricks and embossed them with Wow Opaque Bright White.  I further embellished it with die cut flowers and vines.  The bottom of the well is open to accomodate an envelope, that stores my hidden journaling.

I Thank God For a Friend Like You

I hope you had a great weekend! I've got a card to share with you that would be great for any occasion - made with lots of goodies from Scrap-Mart. After I stamped my flower and leaf, I colored in the details with my new Tim Holtz Distress markers.  They really make it easy to add more defined details than just inking with the pads. Then, I shaped the flower using the McGill Flower Tool/Pad.

Masculine Birthday Card

My boss' s birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I didn't want to wait until the last minute to get his card made.  So, when I saw that the JustRite Stampers challenge this week was masculine cards, I thought this would be the perfect prompter for me.

He is going to be 36, so I took some Tim Holtz Ruler Ribbon, folded it, so that the 3 and 6 were beside each other, and stapled it in place.  I took the postage stamp die from Spellbinder's/ Becky Fleck's Office  Supplies, and cut away the embossed center rectangle and used this to frame my "36".  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from JustRite's Always and Forever Medallion Labels set. My patterned papers are from Simple Stories, and my kraft cardstock from Worldwin Papers.

The main image is from JustRite's Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels set.  it was cut and framed using the Spellbinders/ JustRite Oval Medallion Label die. The image was colored with Copics. I also cut a tattered page border from the Office Supplies set, to go under my paper tag layer.  I inked the edges of all of my papers with Distress Ink, and finished the card off with a manly jute ribbon bow.

Cheery Lynn Designs New Release!

If you are like me, you have been counting down the minutes until the new Cheery Lynn Designs new release, and the great news is that it's here!  This is a picture of my great-great Aunt, who owned a dress shop - so she was always very fashionable. I used a bunch of the new dies on this layout, so you bettter get your shopping list handy, because you are going to want to add these to it.  The new Build a Flower series is nothing short of spectacular!  This first set was designed to create big, beautiful clematis blooms, but the parts will be able to be mixed with future dies to create many wonderful flowers.  One of the things I love most about these petals, is the fact that they have some embossed distressed patterns to them, which makes shaping them a dream. I also used the Princess Tree as a flower filler instead of a tree.  To make my "buds" purple, I cut to images, one green and one purple.  I cut the buds from the green tree and then simply glued the green over the purple.  It's a really quick and easy way to add details. I made multiple cuts of the Flourish Band and tucked them behind my water distressed paper, along the edges of my base cardstock. The Scottish Thistle Doily shows up so well, thanks to the Angel Wing that is included to cut the shadow background.

A Mother's Love

Yesterday, we celebrated Mother's Day. Although I never had the privilege to become a mom myself, I do have the opportunity to watch my sister every day, pour out love and attention to her two boys.  She is a beutifully devout mommy, and it's just one more reason that I love and respect her. So, I created this very girly layout, featuring Cheery Lynn Designs dies,  to honor her.

The picture was framed with the Victoria Garden Doily Frame. I tucked the inner portion of the Sophia's Heart Doily behind the picture. The flower and leaf was from Judy's Blooms, with greenery from Pair of Ferns and Olive Branches. The vertical border was cut with Border Carnivale.  My banner was created using the small round doily from the Polynesian Sails Oval die. They were decorated with the Miniature Roses and more greenery.  Finally, my title was created with Lace Script Font M and L - while the rest of the title was made using alphabet stickers.

Remember, be sure to check back tomorrow to see the BIG reveal of the new dies for Cheery Lynn Designs.  I'm so excited to share them with you!  Also, remember, for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Cheery Lynn Designs store, you will want to play along with our weekly challenge.  This week the theme is Bling It Up (easy enough!)

Double the Fun

I don't normally make a lot of two-page layouts, but I challenged myself with this one. I used the fantastic new Graphic 45 Collection - Curiosity Shoppe.  I also played with the new Lucky 8 punches - which are really cool because they cut 12 x 12 diecuts. The one that I used on this layout is the Tatted Doily.

The flowers and leaves were made using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals and Tattered Leaves. My border was cut with the Tim Holtz Deco Strip Lace.

I also used the coordinating Hampton Art / Graphic 45 Curiostiy Shoppe stamp set, to add more flying pigs to my layout.
