Love You by Julie Lavalette

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing with you a card using our fabulous new word die - Love You. I gave my card a Masculine touch, hopefully to inspire you, as I know we all struggle when it comes to thinking what design to make for a male, but changing the colours and adding a flower would equally give this design a feminine look.

I used several of my Stacker dies to build my layers and with it coming close to the Festive season I just had to add some Platinum Stickles for an accent of bling.

My Ink bottle was coloured with a Copic Pen and I wrote the work Ink on it. My Feather I inked the edges and ruffled the sides for a realistic look.

I fussy cut a heart shape to place behind my heart doily and gave my word - Hugs a shadow effect.

Valentine Hugs

Holly 3:00 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone! It's Holly, your February guest designer, posting today. Happy Valentine's Day! I needed a masculine Valentine's card to give to my sweetie, so I pulled out my Cheery Lynn Designs dies to see what I could come up with. Obviously, since I wanted it to be more masculine, I didn't add a lot of frills and flowers. I kept this card sweet and simple by using these dies:

Celtic Heart
Sophia's Heart Border
Alison's Ribbons
Hugs Mix and Match
Coved Rectangle - Classic LG Stackers

I inlaid the die cut pieces of the inside of the heart. Because the background is so busy, I wanted the Hugs to stand out. Look at the Hugs sentiment. Can you see the shadowing there? I cut it out twice - once from dark brown paper and once from vanilla paper. I glued the vanilla Hugs on top of the dark brown Hugs, slightly offsetting the letters. That's how you get a subtle shadow effect. For the corners, I cut the pieces from the Sophia's Heart Border - they fit beautifully in the corners of the Coved Rectangles.

Thanks for visiting me here at the Cheery Lynn Designs blog. Come on back next Friday - I can't wait to show you what I created!! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
