Back to School Greetings

 Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I have a back to school card! I love this time of year and creating a simple layered card like this with the scalloped square stackers and the Horizon Square die are so much fun! Using coordinating papers and precolored digital images make this type of card making super fast and easy! A few simple embellishments [paper flower and black on black flowers] add just the right touch! Cheery...

A Trio of Trading Cards

Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo blog I share a trio of Altered Trading Cards. I LOVE ATCs--they are little pieces of artwork on a 2½×3½" card! Piccolo Accents are perfect for these! I began with some pre-designed collages on colored  collage sheets. I adhered the collages to my ATC chipboard base. Next I applied Enamel Powder Adhesive to the edges of each ATC and enamel powder to match the base collage. Enchanted...

Every Little Thing Wants to be Loved

Hi everyone! I recently joined an Altered Trading Card Swap. ATCs are meant to be traded among artists and that's why they are so fun to make. This little 2½×3½" work of art will be shared with other artists making ATCs along the same theme--this theme was Bees. They also will make a run of cards on this theme and our hostess will sort out the lot and send them to each of us. It's always fun to get back the cards and see everyone's artwork! I...

A Winter White Hello

 Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share a winter hello with a few more dies from the new release. I used the new Snowflake Doily again which goes along with this weeks challenge and I added the new Dancing Snowflake Flurries! This is such a fun die! It has little dots here and there on circles on the swirl that just beg for some bling and bigger circles in "flowers" that want bling too! I went with white on white-with-some-glitz....

Weekly Challenge | 1, 2, Punch!

It's time for a new challenge with Digital Delights by Louby Loo! This week at Delightful Challenges our challenge is 1, 2, Punch!

We've been living marching band this month so it was only natural for me to outfit Tommy in a blue and gold uniform! Fun! ~I hope you enjoy my card! Thank you for stopping...

Autumn Greetings

 Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share this autumn card using the new Joy to the World Wreath and Deer in the Forest. These woodsy dies paired with a brown card stock that has an autumn colored core make for great fun! I die cut the "leafy" images with a brown card stock with a green core. I then sanded lightly on the wreath and a bit more heavily on the leaves on the Deer's antlers to create green leaves on...

Emboss Powder Embellies

Happy Monday everyone! Today on the Globecraft and Piccolo Blog I share a steampunk fatbook page that I create using embellishments that I made with Piccolo Emboss Powders. I am a mold addict--there, I said it. I think molds are awesome...from molded food and resin projects to jewelry projects and more...molds are, simply put, FUN! Today I used silicone molds which come a variety of ways. There are companies that make them special for embellishments...
