Ornaments with Cheery Lynn Dies

I have always said that Cheery Lynn Designs makes some AMAZING Dies and I stand by that firmly!  Their dies are beautiful and so intricately full of detail!  Today I was playing with my doily dies trying to make on of those BEAUTIFUL ornaments so many people are making now to get ready for the holidays!  Below are my own creations using the French pastry Doily Die and The Laced Pine Snowflake Die from Cheery Lynn Designs!  These are so easy to make and they look wonderful!  I made both of these "double sided", the front and back look exactly the same.  This way they can be hung from a gift bag or even from a Christmas Tree. I am also going to be making some "one sided" to place on the front of cards and presents as well!

I used folded and creased areas on the doily to make them look 3 dimensional and then inserted some sparkly tulle between the doily cut out and the snowflake cut out.  I punched a circle out of matching card stock and hot glued an embellishment in the center.


The two dies I used in this project can be purchased here:




French Pastry Doily Die
       $21.99 shipping is free!









The Laced Pine Snowflake Die can be purchased here for  $ 13.99 shipping is free!
















The Cheery Lynn Snowflakes Set Two are a great addition to the center of these beautiful ornaments!  They are $10.95and ship free to you!



Who doesn't LOVE Music added to a project?!  This musical "Push To Play" Button is the perfect addition to this project or any of your other Holiday Projects!  Choose between  Jingle Bells or Silent Night for the Holiday, or buy both since they are so affordable!

$1.99 each!


                                                                    Song Choice
                                                                  
                                                                



These 3/8 inch glue dots do the job to adhere any paper project you have going!  The package comes with 252 glue dots for the low price of $4.99
If you purchase them from me you get 3 packs for $13.99 shipped regular mail to you .  So you are paying full price for one and getting the other 2 for 25% off!  What a deal!!!!

Angel Tag/Bookmark Kit

Angels are Spirtually Inspiring, Comforting and Endearing.  We all have our own reasons for calling on Angels whether it be for guardianship, comfort or whatever other need we are trying to fulfill or seek out.  Angels typically manifest purity, goodness and selflessness and are thought to be celestial beings that act as an intermediary between heaven and earth.

We all have our own reasons for searching out these mystical beings.  

I have done several Angel projects of my own; angel books being one of my most favorite as well as most popular.  So many people LOVE Angels and for this reason any Angel products make wonderful gifts!  I have made several projects like these and will continue to add to my collection of creating with and about these Beautiful Celestial Beings!

The first project I would like to share with you is this Angel Tag/Bookmark.  It can be used to accompany ANY gift and used as a tag to hang from a gift bag or be slipped inside a gift box, and because of the beauty of the tag/bookmark it can be THE GIFT itself.    Not just for Christmas, Angel gifts are wonderful to be given and received YEAR ROUND!


Made with embossed acrylic, this elegant tag/bookmark would be LOVED and enjoyed by ANYONE who loves and collects Angels.  I have included a poem that I have always found to be one of my favorite poems on the bottom of this project.  It is known as a poem to the Angels Of God.  It reads:

                                                    "Angel of God, Oh Guardian Dear
                                                           With Whom God's Love
                                                                Entrusts Me Here
                                                         Ever This Day 
                                                             Be At My Side
                                                                  To Lead the Way
                                                                          To Light and Guide"   





This Kit includes EVERYTHING to make 2 of the tags as shown above.  You will get the following items with your kit :

2 Pieces of Acrylic          16  Flowers          2 Leaves        2 Stick Pins     2 Butterflies       10 Beads
2 Doilies                          2 Pearl Sprays      2 Beaded Trim Pieces           2 Pieces Of Lace
2 Angel Pictures              2  Small Elegant Birds               2 Pieces of Ribbon

You will need to emboss your own Acrylic and ink your own pieces, and you will have everything else to make 2 of the EXACT  tags/bookmarks as shown above.   I simply assembled everything with score tape and hot glue to create this beautiful item.  You can do the same simply by looking at the above pictures!  If you need further instruction I am of course available to you!

This kit is $25.99 and it will ship regular mail to you.  I have several kits available but once they are gone I do not know if I will have ability to make more.  So I encourage you to order your kit now if you are interested in them!


Please watch my blog for more Inspirational and Beautiful Angel Projects that are coming soon!

Blessed Be!

PRIMA The Sweetest Thing Layout

Who doesn't LOVE Prima and all their GORGEOUS papers, flowers and other embellishments?!??!

This layout was made using the Songbird Collection and was inspired by Stacey Young:




The colors of these collection are so soft and perfect for a baby layout!  Because this project uses so many 3D embellishments; flowers, clay tiles, chipboards, gems and more; it is the perfect layout to put inside a shadow box or other 3D Frame.



 


Genie Stones, Clay Tiles and Flowers adorn this handmade paper banner....




Chipboard Embellishments, Pixie Vine, Chipboard and Flowers are scattered along the side of the    picture....



                                                         



The tool to distress the papers that I used can  be purchased here for $14.99:
