Bj, owner of Cheery Lynn Designs wanted me to share with you some cute cards made by one of our customers, Pam Garrard.  She has used the Cheery Lynn Designs Steampunk High Heel die to make some very stylish cards.  

For the next two cards, she has used the angel wing portion of the die rather than the Steampunk overlay to make traditional shoes.  Thanks so much for sharing your cards with us Pam.

Remember there is still time to join the new challenge!!! Challenge #129 is Mother's Day There is a chance to win a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs. Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Monday crafty friends! Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

Today's card features the Pretty Pretty Bows (Set of 2) dies along with the Tags 2 for my sentiment.


The base of my card is an 8x8 piece of pattern paper, folded in half. I then cut a layer of vellum at 3.75 x 7.75 and adhered in the center. Next, I added a bit of cheesecloth and trimmed to fit the layers.

I trimmed a piece of pattern paper to fit under my Butterflies Flying Among the Vines Mesh Border, then attached by touching some Glossy Accents on the butterflies to secure, then I tacked down the border with a small amount in random areas.

The Francesca border strips were adhered on either side of the Butterflies Border Strip, then trimmed to fit. I used foam squares for some dimension of my center panel.

I hope you'll join in on our new challenge 129 this week "Mother's Day"! You could win a $20 gift certificate to shop in the online store just for playing along!

Thanks so much for stopping on over today!

We have another wonderful card from Jean Bronaugh featuring the beautiful Lighthouse die from the Nautical series.  Jean loves to sew little bead work onto her cards, which she has done around the edges of the gorgeous Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker Frames.  It gives such a elegant look to them.  Thank you, Jean for helping us out today.
