Wow!  Can you believe it's already the end of 2017?  Where did this year go?!  Anyway, Happy New Year from me and Cheery Lynn Designs.  I hope you have some fun plans for today.
My card design today is something that would work interchangeably with another sentiment die.  Since I was creating a Happy New Year card, I went with black, silver and gold for my color palette.  This would be a really cool invite to a party if you are planning that far in advance for next year.  :)


My bow was created with two of the ribbon styles from the December Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool.  The center of the bow is finished off with a pretty Silver Glitter Stardust Rhinestone.

 Now let's look forward to the New Year celebrations.  To to kick off the holiday, I've turned an ordinary bottle of champagne into  a fun hostess gift by adding this shaker bottle hanger.  I used the New Year 2017 Shaker Die Set to make the shaker.  The die has 2017 as part of it's design so I just simply cut that off and glued the included sentiment, Happy New Years, to the acetate on the front of the shaker.


I used a large cut from the Coved Rectangle Stitch And Cut Tool set and placed behind the bottle hanger, using the bottle hanger as the 2nd layer.  On top of that I used a black starred layer cut with the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped set.  Next is the floral design paper cut with the Pierced Stacker 2 set.   All the papers I used are from Graphic 45's Vintage Hollywood collection and the dancing couple is fussy cut from one of the design papers.

The flowers are handmade using a mix of layered cuts from the Judy's Blooms Die,  Sweet Williams Die,  Indie Bouquet , and Floral Bouquet Kit 8 Piece Die Sets.


 To top the hanger and give a real festive look, I added two pretty bows and a floral center.

Hello Crafty friends ,and happy Friday to you all!
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and got to spend it with your family and friends. This is my last Christmassy card for 2017, gonna miss making them, as I always enjoy making Christmas cards every year.


So for my card today I chose to use Cheery Lynn's Fancy Reindeer, Tree from the Camping set, and holly & berries from the Christmas Bell set, all listed below with links. Love how they all work together on my card. On the tree I colored with copics, and then added some stickles. All die cuts were colored using copic markers, love the look they give to my card.

Hello Cheery Lynn fans and Merry Christmas to you!!  I hope you are all spending the day with family and friends and good food.

Today I'm sharing a quick ornament I made with my favorite Christmas die from Cheery Lynn Designs this year - Brad the Reindeer.  It may be too late for this year, but it's never too soon to start planning for next year, right?

This die set makes things super easy because there is a separate die for each layer and you just cut them in the colors of your choice and assemble.  And look how wonderful it comes out!
Brad the Reindeer is just toooo cute!  He is perfect for cards, gift tags or for a Christmas tree ornament which is what I did here.  I made him double sided so he's perfect for the tree.

Here he is on my tree.  Most of my ornaments are hand-made ornaments I created through the years.  I don't have as much time for the elaborate ornaments any more, but Brad was a quick and easy addition this year.

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here and Happy Christmas to all our Cheery Lynn fans. Today I'm sharing some last minute Christmas inspiration for a fairly quick card to make should you have forgotten someone last minute or are in need of a Gift Card.
