Best Wishes

Hi, Diane with you today!

I have a rather large, but fun, Americana card to show you.

I used a Sue Wilson embossing folder for the background.I cut two PoppyStamps Small Madison Windows and two PoppyStamps Small Madison Shutters.

I hand cut the star curtains from Bo Bunny Anthem collection papers.

I decorated the windows, just in time for Memorial Day

with a wreath cut with Memory Box Starry Wreath. I cut it three times, using Pearlized Esse White Metallic for the base, So Silk Fair Blue and Stardream Jupiter for the randomly places stars. I just cut them apart, very easy. If you haven't tried any of these card stocks yet, give them a try, they are a wonderful heavier weight and beautiful!

The sentiment is a Spellbinders die. A tip for adhering your words. Cut a piece of Scor-tape double sided adhesive to fit your word, and place on the back of the paper you are using. Place your die on the paper side, (not the adhesive side), and cut. To make this even easier, I use daily either the Cuttlehug, Large shim or Mini Adapter Plate. To help get the paper with adhesive out of your die, another daily tool I can't live without are the Crafters Tools by Cheery Lynn Designs.These really come in handy with the more intricate and smaller dies like the word dies.

I finished my card with a pretty bow.

I'm a Little Teapot

Hello Classy Friends! Diane here today with my "I'm a little teapot" card for our challenge this week "Tea Party"!

I just love the pretty Spring colors of this card! It was a little bit of fussing around with it, but I think well worth the effort!!

Let me tell you how I made it. I started by adhering Double sided adhesive Scor-tape sheets to Pearlized Esse White Metallic card stock before I die cut. I then placed my PoppyStamps Teapot Stack die on and ran it through my Cuttlebug a couple of times using the Cuttlehug Large Shim.  This gives you a nice sticky backing to adhere down to your card.

 I embossed a panel using the  Darice Doily Lace embossing folder then adhered the teapot die cut to that.  Then I decided to get real creative, and picked out a few scrap pieces of paper, adhered them the same as I did the die cut, to the Scor-tape sheet and ran each color through my machine.  Using the Crafters Tools by Cheery Lynn Designs, 

I carefully picked each piece out and adhered it in it's place.   It was so easy using one of the picks from the set!

Lastly, I added some flowers.  If you saw one of my previous posts using the new Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose Stamp set and Botanical Wings die set, you will remember I cut several extra flowers, thinking they would come in handy later.  Well, they certainly did!

I used five of the smaller flowers and using the Paper Blossom Tool Kit and Paper Blossoms Craft Molding Mat, I formed my flowers.  The flowers were colored with Susan's Garden PanPastels coloring kit, and finished off with Lavender Pearls.  The tiny Leaf Clusters are from Impression Obsession.

I encourage you to join in the challenge with us this week, we would love to have you!!

Cheery Lilies

I am delighted to introduce another of guest designers!  Diane Hover is a very talented designer as you will soon see!  You can see more of her work on her blog here.  Grab a cup of coffee or a Diet Coke and enjoy her eye candy below!

Well, hello my garden friends!  Diane visiting with you today!  Don't you love flowers?  I know I do and when all these flower dies started popping up in the Classy Cards 'n Such shop, I was super excited!!

Today I am showing you two similar, but very different cards using some of the Cheery Lynn Designs Build A Flower and Embellishment dies. These dies contain numerous petals, bases, and leaves to build an endless garden of flowers.

One of the easiest flowers to make is a lily...goodness, there are so many colors of lilies, it is hard to choose one!!

Both flowers were built using the dies listed below:

Cheery Lynn Designs Build A Flower #2 Embellishments (the base for the petals)

Cheery Lynn Designs Build A Flower #3 (petals)

Cheery Lynn Designs Build A Flower #3 Embellishments (stamens)

Cheery Lynn Designs Build A Flower #2 (leaves)

The orange flower was colored with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers. The colors used were Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, and Dried Marigold.

Did you know that Classy Cards 'n Such has a wonderful marker club you can join to get all the fab marker colors?  There are also 12 new colors you can pre-order now!!

The pink flowers were colored with the PanPastels Flower Coloring Kit - Susan's Garden.

Both cards have the gorgeous Memory Box Quinn Flourish under the lily and the Spellbinders Classic Edges Two for trim.

The paper used on the pink card is from Kaiser Craft called The Lake House 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad. The paper used on the orange card is Graphic 45 Secret Garden. The one in stock is a bit different, but just as beautiful!!

A few other of my favorite products used are the

Cuttlehug.  This is a "must have" in my opinion to cut the intricate dies. You will be glad you bought it!!

Crafter's Tools by Cheery Lynn Designs are also very useful for the intricate dies.

I hope you enjoyed the lilies and I will be back again soon with more creativeness!!

 

The great thing about a lily is that they just make you smile. Diane did a wonderful job using the various dies to put the lilies together!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Until next time...
