Lunagirl Moonbeams Make "Snow Angel" Projects

Lunagirl Moonbeams are working with the Lunagirl Vintage Images to make "Snow Angell" projects.  Lunagirl has some beautiful digitals of angels which are perfect for Christmas cards or to put on ornaments.  Here is a card I made recently.  This beautiful image was placed on a Cheery Lynn diecut and the holes in the diecut remind me of snow falling.  Some additional flourishes were added to accent the card.

Drunken Stampers' Newest Challenge

Drunken Stampers is beginning a new challenge today.  They are continuing with the "Person, Place, and Thing" series.  This challenge is "thing".  The thing you are to use is a Die Cut.  Below my sample uses a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs and a beautiful image of leaves from Lunagirl.

Lunagirl's "Seed Pack" Challenge

Lunagirl is having a "Seed Pack" challenge featuring pictures of packages of seeds.  This is the first piece I made for the challenge.  It features sunflower seeds.  I used a Cheery Lynn Designs die as a mat behind the image.

I hope you drop over and join the challenge.

Only A Couple of Days Left

There are only a couple of days left to join the Garden Fairy challenge at Lunagirl Moonbeans.  Here are a couple of more ways you can use fairies in your projects.  I do hope you will take time to enter as Karen has a wonderful prize for the random selected winner.

 

This is a tag I made using one of the techniques Carolyn Dube uses in her Use

I love Your Words workshop.  It is a method of using various letters on a tag and then glazing with polymer medium  (gloss)  I then added the fairy from Lunagirl and glazed over it.

I love using black and white as a background.  This time I made a Lunagirl fairy and put her inside a Cheery Lynn die.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Drunken Stampers is having another challenge.  This time the theme is My Best Friend's Wedding.  My card uses an image from Just Some Lines and a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs.  All the themes for the past couple of months have been movies.

If you have a chance visit the blog and join the challenge.

Drunken Stampers' Challenge #117

 

 

This week the challenge at Drunken Stampers is "The Sound of Music" .  This time I made a tag.  Stamps  used were by Stamp Cabana and CE  The main image is a digital from Gecko Galz.  She is just tap dancing over a row of trim made with a Cheery Lynn die. I love her custome and her top hat.  It reminds me of my dfancing days.....oh to bring them back!

A Sympathy Card

This beautiful angel is from Shelly's Images.  I  placed her on a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs called Waltzing Matilda.  The entire focal point was then put on a card which had been embossed with a folder.  I decided not to highlight the embossing.  The image was colored with Copic markers.  As an added embellishment I put some white flowers in the corner.  I think this makes a great sympathy card.  This card is being entered in CDAC's Progressive Challenge.

Vicki

My inspirational card for this challenge uses a cute Digi Darlas image of a boy hissing a little girl.  .  I used Copic markers to color the image. This card is a little different in that the sentiment is larger than the image.  The sentiment is fabric.   The border is a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs. I thought this would make a perfect Valentine card.

Michele

For my pink creation I used a lovely Digi Darla angel image and colored her with pencils and a gold gel pen. She is cradled in an oval shape distressed with pink ink and laid on decorative origami paper. The base is pink card stock. I could easily use this as a Valentine by adding a Valentine sentiment but it could also be a non traditional Christmas card. There are such a wide variety of lovely Digi Darla images to work with that whoever wins this prize will have a happy time playing!

Sharon

I've used a great fun image "Coffee Grandma" for this die cut card. She has been coloured with Copic Markers and cropped using a new set of dies I recently purchased. I've added some embellishments: feathers, fibre and bling to finish it off!

 

Petra

Sooooo sweet ... this little baby girl asleep. This is one of Darla's darling images on a mini card. I printed the image twice and layered it to make the image pop. The patterend papers are digital papers, the sentiment stamped. As embellishments I added organza ribbon and a little bling.

Rene

The image I am working with is the Paisly Peacock. Paisley made me think of pink.
I coloured the image with my pencils and fussy cut the paisley parts out 2 extra images. I layered the image and added some gems and; glitter. If you wondered, I'm tickled pink with how it turned out.
Looking forward to see your creations!

Just Friends

This is my first post for 2013.

Can't you just image these little birds are friends.  They are huddled together to protect themselves from the cold.

I created this card just for the Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge themed "Friends or Friendship".  The background is a number of designer-paper scraps.  The image, colored with Copics, is from Just Some Lines.  The sentiment is from Vintage Arts Press. The die behind the birds is call Mini Pear Coved Rectangle Mega Doily from Cheery Lynn.   The thing I like about this die is that it can be adjusted to almost any size.

Wall Hanging

This is my last post for 2012.  It is a wall hanging using an image from Gecko Galz.  She is framed with a lacey diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs.  It is called French Flair Doilly.  This the first time I have used it and I like the way it framed my image  The background of the hanging is made with Clear Tar Gel, detress re-inker from  Tim Holtz, a stencil and acrylic paint and a napkin.  I haven't done very many wall hanging so this is still an experiment for me.

I made the wall hanging for Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge "Lace or Faux Lace".

 

Snow and Snowflakes

Well, we are forcast to have snow the day after Christmas.  It isn't the same as a White Christmas, but I'll take it.  We don't get much measureable snow in Tennessee.  I just love  to watch it fall; I'm like a little kid when it comes to snow.

This card uses Sketch 1 from 2011 from Christmas Challenges with Sketches.  I used numerous snow designer papers.  Also in the layering is a die from Cheery Lynn Designs called Mexican Tile.  This diecut can be used for so many things.  I think it is perfect for a snow theme as it is like a snowflake, so lacey.   In a couple of the corners are dies from Corners F from CLD.  The theme for the CLD this week is Happy Holidays with Layering.   Highlighting the card are a couple of snowflakes from Spellbinders.   These were cut from glitter paper.  The image in the middle is a couple of stamps from Stampin' Up.  It is colored with Copic markers and the glittery snow is Stickles.

The third challenge for this card is Our Daily Bread Designs' Snow and Snowflakes challenge, the theme for my card.  I did not have any of their winter-type stamps so I used the word Blessings from their Christmas Blessings stamp. 

Christmas Greetings in Layers

Here is another greeting card for the Christmas season.  This one has a number of layers.  I used  two Stampin' Up images into one on ther top circle.  I was able to use a number of designer paper scraps.  The corners are enhanced with Cheery Lynn Designs corner dies.  This card uses beige and red tones instead of the traditional red and green.

I am entering this in Christmas Challenges with Sketches and Cheery Lynn Designs' "Tis the Season" challenge.

Another Christmas Greeting

I mentioned in my previous post that I was posting a series of Christmas cards for my visitors and followers.  This is the second one.

This one is being entered in Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge "Happy Holidays".  When I think of that phrase,  I immediately think of the commercial aspect of Christmas.  However, this card was created for "Happy Holidays" as we all should be happy for the real reason for the season.  And the holidays is a time of celebration.  So let's celebrate the birth of Christ.

This is a 6 x 6 card. I am beginning to enjoy making these square cards as they give you a little more space to work on.   I first embossed the background of the card with snowflakes by using an embossing folder.  Next I cut a Cheery Lynn Mexican Tile and Doilly diecut  On the circle made with a Spellbinders die I placed my Nativity image from Stampin' Up,  In the corner I decided to use black for my Cheery Lynn flourish to enhance the black in the image.  I adjusted the flourish a little to fit the area I had.  For just a touch of glitz I put a very small flower out of glitter cardstock on the flourish.  The flower  was made with one of the embellishment dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Christmas Greetings

 I am posting a series of Clhristmas Greetings cards for the season and they are for you, my followers and visitors to my blog  who have been so sweet as to leave me encouraging comments about my cards and other projects.  I hope you find one that you really like.

 

This card starts with a white embossed background.  On top of that I placed a doilly from Cheery Lynn Designs in red.  The white scolloped circle is a die cut from Spellbinders.  Down the left side is a strip of green glitter cardstock.  Below the dies is a faux ribbon made from striped designer paper with the red, green and white colors. 

 

I used a Our Daily Bread Designs greeting in the white circle.  To finish off the card, I used flowers and leaves made from Cheeery Lynn's Build-a-Flower.  Even though it doesn't really show, I added glitter to the flowers and leaves to go with the green glitter cardstock as most Christmas cards have glitter or shimmer.

A Different Color of Christmas

Here is a card I mad in non-traditional colors of Christmas.  In other words there is no red and green.  I made a folded Christmas tree with double-sided cardstock and placed it on the Kiwi doilly diecut made by Cheery Lynn Designs' die.   I am entering this in the Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge "Non-traditonal Christmas Colors".  My greeting is by Recollections and it was placed on a Spellbinders diecut.

Going Vintage

Here is a vintage card I made using a digital from Just Some Lines.  This is my inspirational piece for their challenge of Recycling and Repurpose..  I used a pair of earrings that I had made and I hadn't worn them in a long time.  I thought they were the perfect color to include with my flowers.

I am also entering this in Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge Vintage.  Cheery Lynn dies are the Celtic Fire Rectangle Frame and the Build a Flower #2 and Embellishment  #2.  These are the very first flowers I have made with the Build A Flower dies.  I am very pleased how they turned out.

Following a Sketch

This is the sketch that Our Daily Bread Designs is using for their challenge ODBDSLC126 this week.

 

This is the card I made following the sketch above.

 

On the white base I placed a piece of lavendar designer paper of roses.  On top of that are two lacey circles by Spellbinders. These were stamped with two Our Daily Bread Design stamps.  Next I placed a silver ornate trim from the fabric department at Wal-mart.  As a final touch are two strips of purple ribbon, a bow and a corner adorner cut with  a Cheery Lynn Designs die.

 

I am also entering this in Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #50, Corner Adorners.

October Colors --Black and Orange

 

Well the colors for October are black and orange.  So I pulled out those colors from my stash.  Below is what I created with the items I found.  I used the small lacey butterfly die from Cheery Lynn Designs with a backing of light orange cardstock.  The sentiment "Time Flies" is on a matted die by Spellbinders.  The trail of the butterfly is made with a glossy flourish sticker.   Everything was placed on a designer paper blackground of clocks.  I am also entering this on Cheery Lynn Designs' Challenge #49 "Black and Orange".

 

Fall is Here

I really like the Fall.  However, I know winter and cold weather are soon to follow.  Here is a card I made for the second week of Just Some Lines' challenge "Fall Colors".

This is a get well card I made for a friend who just got home after having surgery.  It uses an image from Just Some Lines and a gate made by a Cheery Lynn Designs.   I am not sure which dies were used for the leaves as they were given to me by a friend.  The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread.  I am entering this in the Keep it Krafty challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs.

I wanted to make my card on the light side to cheer her up,  but at the same time give encouragement and I think this fits the bill.
