Bits and pieces using CLD dies

Another post showing some of our great Cheery Lynn Designs Dies in action. Projects done using some of CLD dies on each one, but not too many of them - and still it make all the difference! So here they are-2 LOs and one card this time

The first one is a lo named Catching the waves, done using this Sea Shells by the Seashore border die, some as a photo frame and some as the single cut pieces of shells and I also used the seagull cut as a template for the birds on the upper corner and filled it with Ranger enamel paint

The second one is another Cameo card- this time I used the Frills and hearts border

and Little oval nested stackers here

So don't wait- grab yourself some great CLD dies and do some new and fancy projects with them too

lines.The pinwheels made with 3'' square  punch and then got a final touch with handmade ribbon flowers.The title is GROW-as my DN is growing fast, she is 11 now.I also recycled some  wood sticks here, added some buttons and brads and finally used my felt borders and velvet ribbons

Song of nature lo

This page was published in SNR May 2011 issue

Made with Core'dinations cardstock only, this page was a real challenge for me- but I think it's lovely after all. All nature seasons- photos and embossed  cardstocks  give us a feel about what is going around in the nature

I also entered it to 4 - SEASONS- Craft Garden challenge

Dance as nobody is watching lo

This page will be published in SNR June 2011 issue

This new Best Creations paper line named Princess/Ballet is not only for a dancing  things

I decided to use this great Irish quote  as my title and made this one with Page Maps Nov 2008 round sketch- but the round part only, made 8*8'' size and then used another shaped paper as a frame

Best of times altered frame

This project was published in Scrapstreet magazine September issue

A very usual Ikea frame- made in this pastel vintage style, with crackled  clear paint ove the white acrylic

 and lots of home punched flowers

This Tando creative chipboard was just glittered a bit and left in its  basic color and the backing was dry embossed and distressed

Omer: altered stitching hoop project

This is my most adorable 3 month old grandson Omer and an altered crosstitching hoop I did  with his photo.. I love flowers, I love shabby, I love blings and you can't use them with older boys.. But with 3 month old- the sky is a limit and my Prima stash is the second  limit only

So old black hoop, covered totallt with old vintage curtain lace, grungeboard pieces painted to white with fairy dust glitter, lost of flowers, some pins, metals and his name

I decided to stick to  this vintage clean colors- mostly white with a bit of blue as his eyes still are and some green  like in the photo

Lots of work in a very small , not more then 6'' circle piece

I hope you like it-the other thing is that you can change a photo in a second and to use it as a rechangable
frame
Entered to Southern girls challenge for Blue and Green

Read and read lo

My cardstock only page, made with Core'dintaions cardstocks and lots of techniques: there are

embossing, debossing, handmade flowers, punching, using rub-ons faces for moods, making a title over a chipboard letters and using them over the title again,home cut book worm made from punched circles,and the most important- my DN Tamar's photo reading.. She is a book worm, this little one

This and that with CLD dies

This week I decided to collect all bits and pieces of my never posted here work, using our fabulous Cheery Lynn Designs dies .Also on those projects I didn't use many of CLD dies, but only a few here and there, I want to show you how effective those great dies are and how much one or two single dies can add to your projects

So here they are

The first one is a cardboard based scrapbooking page made for my only sister MAYA- and this is this
page name

I used French Pastly Doily several times and Scalloped Diamonds Border die on this lo

The next one is this dramatic Cameo card, made with XL French Scalloped Flair Nested Stackers dies

and as I don't have the regular French Flair dies, I just cut 2 around the dies- more work, but the same

result. I also used those Little Oval Nested Stackers dies as my Cameo base- the black was cut from the
chipboard Cameos package, the second one- from white cardstock

The third one is my XOXO with flowers card and I used this Large Parallel Rectangle Stitching plate to make a grid, then used some brads and twine to separate the sectors and to make this card

As you can see from all those projects:a small CLD touch and your lo or card are taken to another and better level

So go to our shop and grab some dies- then let us see what you can create with them

Just for a shot

This page will be published in SNR June 2011 issue

Fun page made with MME gooddies mostly and it's my DD at 17- not really gambling, it just was one shot  in Casino before thay kicked here out.. So the title is combined with a journaling and says " At 17

you can't gamble, it's just for a shot" and the handwriting adds- Las Vegas 2004

Just lovely

Graduation mini album

This album was published in June 2011 issue of SNR magazine

My very new mini album made with Best Creations most gorgeous Graduation papers and Clear scraps

 not clear, but chipboard Camera album

My trick  here is to use those plastic frames left after your orange Wonder tape is over as it fits exactly the circle cut in this mini album front page. I then coverd it with black velvet ribbon all around  and it's a recycling and nice look all together

Paper fan

This project made Top 3 o\n Elephantastic shaped things challenge- thanks

This paper fan was  a real challenge as I decided not to use any template, but to do one for myself

 Finally , after some  cuts and constructions it was done and I  like the fianl result

It was all embossed, distressed, and connected in this oriental style- I never know if it 's Chinese or

Japanese- but  oriental it is

And some challenges

Welcome sign :creat a scene with CLD dies

This time I decided to grab my Cheery Lynn Designs dies and to make a whole scene using some or  

 lot  of them... I also opened my Core'dinations paper stack I got from them as they are CLD partners and added some of their great cardstock from my own stash (the colored ones are my old babies, the whitewash is the new addition) and here we are: oval sign to welcome anyone

Here are quick instructions How to do it

 Cut a solid green cardstock with the biggest of the XL Oval Scalloped Stackers

 Cut the second size from some nice springy patterned paper- I used Best Creations one- and embos it with your Stitcher plate large Oval for the dimension

 Cut some clouds from the patterned paper and then cut some with you Expression bubble die

Cut a yellow sun with your Little Stackers Inverted Scalloped Circle die- I used one of the middle sizes

Build the sky as shown; add some glitters and pearl paints-I used Ranger

 Emboss some Whitewash Core'dination's cardstock with Bricks and Stones embossing plate and make a distress look using your sand Core'dinations distress tool, dust it with the special dusting cloth for the clean look. Using your Little Stackers Square Scalloped dies - 2 sizes of them- die cut 2 square houses. Cut all the rest of Brick embossed paper free hand. Layer the houses and cut the roofs to fit them

Emboss brown Coordination's cardstock with Wood grain embossing plate, cut the trees free handDie cut 2 ovals using our Little Stackers Nested Oval set, emboss them with Hearts and rose leaves XL embossing plate and build the trees as shown

 Die cut a fence with your Picket Fence border die, cut a small part of it to fit the sign

-and here is my new trick

use the small square leftovers from the inside as your doors and windows over the houses

 Add the Welcome letters, some black glitter smoke and glitter fruits and enjoy your creation

And as always: everything you need to make this sign is here
