Merry Christmas Dear Friends from Maggi

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans! First I'm sending wishes that your holidays are merry and bright and filled with love of family, friends and good food! Cheers to you all.!

WOW, there are only a few more days left and I still have gifts to wrap, shopping to do and cookies to bake! But what the heck, I have to take some "me time" out of my schedule to keep my sanity so I put this pretty card together using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs dies and Graphic 45's new Seasons collection.

This is an easel card and they really are simple to make. Now I got a little fancy with the die cut at the top and that does take a little finagling but if you do just a simple square card it's quite easy. Here's a link showing you how to make an easel card. It's not this card, but you can see how the mechanism works.

I used the French Flair Pierce Tool to cut the basic shape of the easel and then a smaller one to fit inside. Next I layered on the green print Quadrafoil Square Doily 2 cut. Next is a brown circle cut using the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames. Behind the pretty Graphic 45 cut-apart is a white piece cut with the Square Frames 3 Piece Die Set. It makes such a pretty frame for the cut-apart!

To make the mechanism inside the card that holds up the easel, I popped up a sticker from the Collection and placed that on a small die cut from the Nesting Doll- Oval #2 set and layered that over a decorative paper strip. I also cut another shape with the French Flair Pierce Tool to place inside the card.

I love how easel cards stand up, they display so prettily! To finish off my card, I made a poinsettia with the Poinsettia Strip 6 Piece Die Set and added a pretty bow.

Christmas Tags with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

We all need quick this time of year and I've got just the project for you! Bonus, it's a project you can have fun making with the kids too. Just die cut a variety of shapes with Cheery Lynn Designs dies, assemble into cute little tags and you've got quick, but oh so cute gift tags that will give your gifts, that extra special something.

On this tag I used two ovals from the Oval Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies 6 Piece Die Set and topped that with a Christmas tree diecut with the Christmas Tree Shaker Die. The "to & from" words were die cut with the To And From Gift Envelope set. Then I punched a hole at the top, added an eyelet and ribbon and it's ready to go. Gift tags need to be quick and easy and this sure fits the bill.

Here's another tag that is built on a white scalloped oval diecut with the Oval Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies. Then I layered on a red Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily, next a blue layer cut with Nesting Doll- Oval #2 5 Piece Die Set and finally topped with Patches The Snowman .

Now this moose is one of my favorites! He's from the Merry Christmoose set. He's layered over patterned paper die cut with the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool and the red cardstock base is die cut with the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames.

Here's a view of the back of each tag. The fun thing about tags is that you can use your scraps. All my scraps are from Graphic 45's Winter Wonderland collection and I was so happy to have a used for all those little pieces of my cherished Graphic 45 papers!

A Fall All Purpose Card by Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

I don't like hot weather so I'm always happy to see summer go. It's fall ya'll! I'm celebrating with this all occasion fall themed easel card. I love using die cut shapes for the easel portion of my card and on this card I used the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool .

Inside that, I used a die from the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames set. It's great how the different Cheery Lynn dies fit together so nicely!

In the center of the card I used the Royal Scandinavian Doily die. The stickers from Authentique's Harvest collection fit perfecly there.

I made a pretty flower with the Shasta Daisy die and fall leaves with the Fall Leaves 8 Piece Die Set.

Inside, I used another leaf from the Fall Leaves 8 Piece Die Set, just to accent the sentiment that also acts as a hold for the easel.

Here's a side view of the card where you can see how the easel works.

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, its JULIE here today and I'm sharing some more inspiration using the fabulous new Vintage Dies.

My card has lots of layers using coordinating papers from Pion Design. I started by Die cutting my layers and adding Gilding Wax around the edges. This was to compliment my Gilded Birdcage and to give an opulent feel to my card.

You will also notice my diecut corners have had Gilding Wax rubbed all over them.

The corner of my paper was placed into my Die and cut to give a curved edge and I fussy cut around the bird and foliage, mounting in place with some Silicone Glue and a touch of Cheesecloth.

My centre layers I layered in place with foam tape for added dimension, adding some sweet birds onto my Birdcage for extra detail.

Finishing with a pretty Floral bouquet, some die cut feathers and bling.

Wishing you a lovely week.

Happy Crafting,

Julie x

Bee Happy Card!

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

I made this cheerful card for a friend that is a bee lover, I know she's going to love it! It is an easel card made with Graphic 45's French Country DCE, definitely one of my favorite paper collections! I created some pretty layers using Cheery Lynn's Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames and the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool. Then I used the Distressed Honeycomb from the new Cheery Lynn vintage die release. It is the perfect thing for this card!

I used the Pierced Stacker 3 to diecut a small label for my sentiment. Those adorable bees are laser cut wood veneers from Creative Embellishments.

A strip across the bottom with a fussy cut sunflower that has been popped up with foam, and two bees, serve to hold the easel in place.

I left room on the side to write a note.

A Mother's Day card with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Here's a pretty card for Mom with a hidden greeting that you could change for any occasion. There's a tag hidden under the image that pulls out. You can see the hidden tag in the next photo. I've use some Maja Designs paper with bright white cardstock.

I used a couple of layers of Maja Designs Enjoying the Outdoors paper along with the bright white cardstock. The striped background layer was cut with French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool . Then I cut a layer with Quadrafoil Square Doily 2 Piece Die Set and tucked it in the top left corner. Over the top of that, I layered an image from the design paper. The little tag that I stamped my sentiment on is also from the design papers.

I used Cherry Blossom 2 Piece Die Set to make the flowers. I just shaped them a little bit and stacked two layers together and topped with some fun pink bling.

I used Flourish #1 Die underneath the flowers to give the appearance of a vine winding its way up the side.

Maggi Here with a Simple Valentine Card

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

The new Bohemian collection of dies is just fantastic. I've used several of the dies from that collection to create this Valentine card.

The black and white overlay is the Paisley Frame - 2 Die Set. On the right I added a diecut flower using the Indie Bouquet die set.

I also made a pretty rose using the Large rose dies.

It's alwyas nice to do the inside of a card too. I diecut flowers, again with the Indie Bouquet dies and I stamped a sentiment onto the smallest diecut from the French Flair Pierce And Cut Tool - LG Silver Pierce Tool 6 Piece Die Set.

Vintage Layout with Maggi, Sept guest designer

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans! Maggi here today to share a layout I made for the September 15th Vintage challenge going on right now! That photo is me and I suspect it was taken on the first day of the 2nd grade. I used Graphic 45's ABC Primer papers to do my vintage look but as is typical of me, I had to add a bright splash of color with the red flowers.

I like to layer it up so I used the French Flair Pierce and Cut tool die to cut layers in different patterned papers.

I tend to mix and match my dies when I make flowers. For the flower above I've used Stacker Flower 5 on the bottom and the Black Eyed Susan Strip 5 Piece Die Set for the top layers and center. I really love that center piece! The flowers below are made with the Black Eyed Susan Strip die.

I used Flourish #4 and Flourish #7 to add to my floral clusters. Flourish 4 is such a nice large flourish that I tore it apart and tucked in pieces here and there.

Lucky Canvas by Maggi Harding, September Guest Designer

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi friends, Maggi from Scrap, Travel & Bark back with you today. Are you wondering about the silly name of my blog? Well my blog started out not only as a place to share my paper art works, but also as a commentary on my daily life, our travels, and my adorable standard poodles. They are so silly and child like, that I often refer to them as little girls in poodle suits. My husband and I often load up the girls and take to the highway and that's where the name Scrap, Travel, & Bark comes from. Of course I have a mobile studio that I travel with!

I am so enjoying my guest design spot with Cheery Lynn. I am definitely a fan of these fabulous dies and let me tell you why. One pass through my Spellbinders Platinum and they are cut. I don't have to run it through multiple times to get a clean cut and the designs generally fall right out of the die. No more poking through little holes to get the design out of the die. I seriously love that!

Today I'm sharing a canvas that I made with Graphic 45's new collection, Off to the Races. I used some of Cheery Lynn's stacker dies as layers behind my focal point, the Lucky ephemera card. The red mat under the card is French Flair Pierce and Cut tool. There are 6 dies in that set, each one pierced around the edges so you could run a thread through it if you wanted.

The green mat under the ATC card is Pierced Stacker #3 and is such a pretty quatrefoil type shape. I really love this die and it comes with 6 nested sizes.

Cheery Lynn has many pretty doily designs too, this one is Italian Flourish Doily Die. I cut this one from ivory cardstock and I love how lacy it looks.

I made pretty red flowers to go with my canvas using the 2 sizes of flower dies in the Floral Bouquet Kit. Then I added some vines cut with Flourish #7.

Love this flourish die, it has quickly become a favorite and It's showing up in a lot of my work these days!

Joy to the World by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here and today I am sharing with you my latest Festive card making a Christmas Wreath for my sweet little Robin to sit on.

I started by matting and layering my first few chosen layers, adding Stickles and Distress ink around the edges. You will also notice on my top layer I highlighted all the pierced holes with a red Fine Liner Pen and scattered some Frantage embossing Powder for a snowy effect.

My Wreath was cut out 3 times and my base layer was cut in half and slightly offset to give

the illusion of more foliage gluing another layer on top. For my final layer I added heat set Mistletoe coloured embossing powder onto the foliage. This gave it added sparkle and detail.

My robin was shaded with Distress Inks and some Black Liquid Pearls added to his eye. My Candy Canes are from the Build a Tree set. I die cut them in White cardstock and added some red with a Fine Liner Pen.

My wording was heat embossed with Red Tinsel and offset onto Green Card Stock for a shadow effect.

Finishing off with my Pretty Bow.
