Basic Shapes Gone Wild!

Hello! Jodi here with another layout for Cheery Lynn Designs! I started scrapping long before there were such beautiful dies and diecut machines on the market. The only way to get fun embellishments were to create your own by paper piecing….I loved paper piecing! I love to be able to take something ordinary and make it extraordinary, which is just what I have done for you today!

To create a fun scallop border around the edge, I used the flower die, Cuties #3. Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Mega Doily was used to create the photo matte and the background layer. The French Flair Scalloped Stacker Nesting Dies, layered with the French Flair Classic Silver Stackers creates a fun background for the photo. The Border Carnivale adds just the right touch of lace and femininity to the ensemble. I hand doodled the swirl border, then stitched overtop. I added a bit of bling to the stitching for added fun and girly glitz. 

 

 

 

The inspiration for this layout came when my Nesting Egg dies arrived….the set may include a darling little bunny, but eggs are not just for Easter! I just had to flip the eggs upside down and create a set of flip-flops! Yes! The flip-flops were cut from the smallest of the Nesting Eggs set, and the thong part is a photo corner from the Lace Deco C set. I added a bit of stickles and some bling to give them some girly sparkle! The base of the flower is a stamp, layered with Darling Daises. In this photo you can also see the details of the Border Carnivale.

Now for a cutsie little purse. The base of the purse was cut from the Classic Circle Silver Stacker ( second smallest size) . I cut the bottom of the circle off for the bottom of the purse. The handle was created by laying both the third and fourth size ovals together on my paper when cutting, creating an oval frame (Small Oval Classic Silver Stacker). I attached the oval frame to the back of the circle, added some bling and a bow. Next to the purse you can see the Frangipani with Leaves! Notice the details on the photo matte, Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Mega Doily.

I started the mirror by stacking layers of the Small Scalloped Oval Stacker Nesting Dies, and Small Classic Oval Silver Stacker Layers. The handle, as well as the lipstick were drawn out free hand.

Imaginisce: pattern paper ( Makin Waves, Happy Camper, Garden Party, Enchanted, and card kit), stamp (Sole Sisters) bling, i-top, i-rock;

Only You!

Hello! I want to take a quick moment to share a layout I made just for fun! When my son was little he used to find entertainment in the most interesting ways!

I used the October Afternoon Space Age line, throwing in some fun elements in unexpected ways much as my son would have!

I adhered the pattern paper to chipboard, then attached with dimensional foam to add texture and dimension.

Goodies Galore!

Thank you so much for stopping in today!  Today is my turn to post at Cheery Lynn Designs. 

I’ve taken my dies into the masculine world again! How about a shaped masculine card?!

By first folding my cardstock and letting my die hang slightly over the folded edge, I cut the base (red cardstock) of my card using the Inverted Scallop Circle. I cut the next layer (plaid) using the Circle Stacker Nesting Dies. I can’t tell you how much I love the Nesting Dies and Stackers! They are designed to fit inside each other taking all the guess work out!!

I cut a Coved Rectangle to layer my chipboard sticker and sentiment on. I adhered the coved rectangle and chipboard with dimensional foam to add life to the card.

Today is my final post at Quick Quotes. I want to extend a huge thank you to Quick Quotes for inviting me to be the Guest Designer for the month!!! I had a fabulous time!!

 For my final project, I decided to step outside the box and create some Holiday goodies! 

A mix of Savvy Davvy, Damsel in Distress, and Cherry Truffle come together for a card of more traditional colors. I cut one shadow and two snowflakes using my Cricut Expression and Winter Lace cartridge. I layered the snowflakes using foam tape adding more dimension to the card.

To create the sentiment, I wrote the word out using a pencil then stitched over my pencil markings. Other ingredients: Jenni Bowlin pin, DMC floss, Imaginsce bling, ribbon and lace unknown.

A mix of papers from Savvy Davvy and Miss Morgan blend well together to create a holiday card of non-traditional colors. The tree was cut using Cricut Expression, gypsy, and Christmas cartridge. Other ingredients: EKSuccess punches, Twine from The Twinery, and metal studs from Imaginesce, Ranger Stickles

The sleigh was formed using a mix of Savvy Davvy and Damsel in Distress. The pattern for the sleigh was found at

www.clearandsimplestamps.com The holly was cut using the Cricut Expression and Seasons Cartridge. Other ingredients: Making Memories brads; metal studs from Imaginsce, and ribbon unknown.

Heartstrings

Aren’t these photos of my nieces hubby and baby just precious?! No doubt a daddy that love his little girl! I left the journaling card and date blank for my niece to fill in with her own loving memories and words. Nuts About Sketches #166 reveal. I used the right page and flipped it. You can find the sketch here. All pattern papers, stickers, buttons, and rubons are from October Afternoon; bling - Imaginisce; bakers twine - the Twinery; punches - Martha Stewart/EK Success.
I love how the border punches add pizzazz and pop to the layout and yet can be so subtle that you hardly notice them. Some of the other details include lots of stitching, stickers layered with various depths of foam adhesive, bling to the center of the flower, and a rubon in the corner of the photo.

I cut the heart from felt and applied the rubon directly to the felt. I don’t think I would try this with rubons from certain companies, but I’ve always had great luck with the rubons from October Afternoon and once again, it applied super slick!! “The Good Stuff” scallop circle and “priceless” tag are also October Afternoon rubons that I applied to pattern paper and hand cut to embellish the layout.

I wove the bakers twine through my sticker letters for a fun twist to my title!

A close up of some of the stickers layered and a little bling added to the end of the ducks string.

Fun Fold Out Mini!

I found the instructions for the cutest little mini fold out album at Splitcoast Stampers. I want to share one I created for a baby gift! It's a blend of Jillibean Soup papers, my monthly scrapbook kit from Shawn Davis Designs, and Imaginisce I-rock goodies!!

Using my Jillibean stamp and VersaMark stamp pad, I stamped a few flowers onto the yellow polka dot. After embossing the flowers with clear glitter embossing powder, I finished them off by attaching Imaginisce jewels using my I-rock!





I trimmed some punch pieces to create the frame around the edge. The Jillibean Soup patterns and colors are perfect for a baby book!


Using my Imaginisce I-rock, I added a splash of bling throughout the mini.


Machine stitching, faux stitching, and doodling added a lot of character to the book. The flowers, and scallop rectangles were cut using my Cricut Expression from cartridges Walk in my Garden (flowers), and Storybook (scallop rectangles).

Imaginisce fun!

This cute little flower pot card has been around for a while but I just had to make one for my cousin. She is struggling through a rough recovery after back surgery and I thought this delightful little pop out bouquet would be the perfect fun card to brighten her day!

I created the little pocket flower pot using the instructions shown here. I used my Cricut Expression and Walk in my Garden cartridge to cut the flowers, leaves and tools. I love the layer feature on the Gypsy to line up my flower layers so I know exactly what I am getting before I cut! It is also a great way to flip some of the leaves so I can see how they will align in my project before I cut them out.

Making sure a large heart was centered in the punch, I created flower centers using my i-top. I added a bit of sparkle and detail using my i-rock and bling. To add the sentiment and lady bug, I pulled my All Occasion Build-A-Card Pad and cut apart a sentiment sticker. The words fit perfectly at the bottom of the flower pot, and the adorable lady bug is just the perfect touch sitting on top of a flower! I just placed the sticker on a piece of white scrap, then cut around the image and adhered using a pop dot!

I used one of the sentiment blocks for the end of the tools. Another great feature of the Gypsy is that I can place exactly where I want to cut so it takes the guessing game out and makes it much easier when cutting small pieces of paper or scraps!

Imaginisce - pattern paper, i-rock, bling, i-top, All Occasion Build-A-Card Pad; Core’dinations cardstock; Stampin’Up marker; unknown -ribbon, jute
