Holiday Ornaments

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I created some last-minute ornaments for my tree and for gifts. I am using the 60 degree triangles from the Quilt and Fabric dies! These are a bit deeper than our normal Cheery Lynn Designs Dies and allow for multiple pieces of card stock to be cut at once! This makes creating a project like this where you would need 20 triangles so much quicker and easier.

The notches on the die make it easy to fold up the edges of the triangle for gluing. This is the seam allowance for quilting but it is perfect for gluing to create the ornament.

To create the ornament you need a string of 10 triangles glued together as above left. Additionally you need a top and a bottom of the ornament that is constructed like on the right. I found that it goes together easier if you nip off the very tips of the allowance at the points. I allows the card stock to sit nicely and not have to be bent to allow for the final connections to be made.

Shaking Up Some Cheer

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I am playing along with this weeks challenge Sparkle and Shine. I have created a shaker card with the circle stackers and Horizon Circle set! 

I love how easy it is to cut a frame for your shaker I simply lined up a smaller circle inside my Horizon die, secured them with some washi tape, and cut them together in my machine.

I cut all of my snowflake pieces in white which was a little stark compared to the rest of my paper. I used pearl mists to add gold and pearl shimmer to my snowflakes and dull the stark white card stock.

For the shaker I cut a circle for the background and a circle out of clear acetate. I adhered the acetate to the frame with a clear lacquer.

I then added foam tape to the back of the frame to give my sequins and sparkles a space in which to move. If you desire chunkier shakings use another layer or two of foam tape. Make sure you have all of your pieces touching so there are no holes for shakings to escape!

I stack my shakings in the middle before adhering the frame. Here I used sequins, snowflake glitter and some crystals.

When you adhere the frame, make sure all sides are secure and then give it a shake to make sure it works! 

I added my shimmer snowflakes to the frame and then used a clear gem as a spacer for a smaller snowflake to be placed on top. It added just the right height and was clear so could not interfere with the top layer of snowflake

As a final touch I added crystals here and there to centers and along the flurry strip!

Dimensional Trick or Treat card

  Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo blog I create a dimensional trick or treat card using the Trick or Treat Ornament!The ornament comes with two globes and two rings for holding the globes on. For the card I used just one ring and one globe. I am holding back the 2nd ring and globe for another dimensional card or project.
I clipped off the top of the ornament where the hanger would go and heat embossed the center ring that contains the characters with Vintage Black. The silver in the vintage black collected on the ghost and the black and gold on the witch and the moon--it did perfect! For the top ring that holds down the globe I covered it with spider paper, edged the ring with black india ink and heat embossed UTEE on top to give a more aged look to the ring. I sandwiched the rings and the globe and held them together with clothespins until adhered. I applied a piece of patterned paper to the back of the ornament frame.
To finish off the front of the card, I embossed Vintage Silver to the edges of the matte and layered the globe over the accent strip so that the words Trick or Treat could be read.
