Love Mail

Middle of Winter and I am dreaming of chocolates, vivid shades of red, and all things lovey dovey.  If I can't have them....I can at least create them, right?

I started out with the mini display tray heart .  I painted the top piece red.

From here I cut a piece of paper to fit behind the top piece and adhered the two together.

I then wound ribbon through the top to hang it from.

and tied my big chunky bows on both sides of the heart.

 Start adding your embellishments...in my case I added the filigree frames that I covered in red glitter. I added my sweet main retro image of the little boy and dog.

From here I started adding cute embellishments and my sentiment faux typewriter keys that spell out love.

Here they are all spelled out.  Did you know you can ask Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts to create any word you would like?  How fun is that???

 I also glittered up some gorgeous feathery flourish set pieces. I added two layered at bottom of love.

Will You be OUR Valentine?

Hi folks!  Got a new post up on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Blog.  All the coldness has me nestled inside happy as a clam creating away.  I came up with this sweet little wooden plaque perfect for Valentine's Day.

I covered this little sweetie in papers and gorgeous Banner Borders Strips.  I first embossed the border strips with white embossing powder than layered then around my image.  I layered a mini ruler at the bottom and added buttons, a wooden spool, and an embossed key and key plate from the Key & Plates Shape Set.  I cut the key down and glued inside the key plate to look like it is just about to be unlocked.  I love little details like this!!!

I added tinsel and ribbons and a sticker and this little valentine sign was complete! 

Hope you enjoy!!!  hugs,

Hi GSL folks, Cherry Here today.  I can't believe the holidays have come and gone.  Every year it happens faster and faster doesn't it?   My project today is a pretty card full of dimension.  I started off with the texture sheets in diamonds.  I brushed on some pewter Faber Castel wax to areas of it and adhered it to my background papers. 

 I wrapped my seam bindings around the whole card and tied my ribbons to the left side of card.  I added flowers and a gorgeous pine tree from the Pine Tree Shape Set.  I covered it in faux snow. 

 See how you can see peek a boo images through the diamonds...love it!!!

 I added some fun sentiments to my winter scene....using the 10 Words.

also added some birds from the Mini Birds & Nests Shape Set.

I added more faux snow here and there along with some vintage buttons for interest.  Now my Winter scene is complete!

I just love how it turned out!  It would make a lovely neutral holiday card or a pretty winter card!!!  thanks for visiting!  Cherry

Hi Gypsy Laser peeps!  Cherry here today with another guest post.  I have had so much fun playing with all these wonderful products.  Today I have a sweet little shadowbox type house that I altered.  Here it is all complete!

I loved playing with this adorable little house.  I painted it red and than assembled it.  

It was so easy to put together and is very sturdy. I used Beacon's glue to assemble.  It made the perfect home for my Santa whom I nestled behind a window.

I layered my main image and added dimension using Victorian Corners 2,  Snowflake Shape Set,  and this gorgeous Believe sentiment.  A little bottle brush tree was added along with some pretty ribbons and doodads to the roof.

  Also added were some icicles from the Winter Shape Set. 

Tinsel was added along with a snowflake border also from the Winter set.

Other than that a light dusting of faux snow was added and my Santa House was complete!  Hope you enjoy!  Hugs, Cherry

Christmas Mitten Ornament!

Hi folks...the count down continues to Christmas!!!  Today I am up at the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts blog again.  So excited to be joining in with GSLC girls!  Today I have an old fashion mitten ornament and super dimensional Holiday card to share.  First up my ornament using the Mitten Mini Album.

              

I started by tracing my mitten onto pattern paper.  I used some gorgeous plaid paper from Authentique.  I love the homespun quality...perfect for my mitten.

Than cutting it out and adhering it onto the chipboard mitten.  I sanded and distressed the edges a bit.

 

Gather up the GSLC goodies you want to use to add personality.  I decided to use a fun Victorian image to pair with the Windows 4 Panel set.   I also used the Snowflake Shape Set.  I inked my chipboard pieces with a bit of white ink and aged them lightly.  I wanted to keep the kraft color but add a bit of white for a Winter appearance. 

I made some handmade paper fringe using some vintage crepe paper.  I inked the edges for an aged look.  I wound some twine through the edge so the mitten can be hung or tied to a package this holiday. 

I started adding some goodies to the top of my  mitten...adding seam binding, pinecone, berries, and greenery.

  Next I layered my Victorian family onto my snowflakes.

Last but not least I added a sentiment using the Words & Phrases 1 set.  I added some faux snow and some rhinestones and was done!

 

 Here it is done!  All ready to hang on a tree or tie to a pretty package.

Christmas Alarm Clock

Hello peeps! Cherry here sharing my first guest designer project at the Gypsy Soul Laser Cut blog.  I have been so excited to share my creations and guest for December.  I had an absolute ball creating with all the beautiful chipboard pieces.  Their designs are so whimsical..they bring out the kid in me!  I really got my hands dirty....painting, covering images with ink, faux snowing everything, embossing....you name it.  Here is my first project made for them.  It is all about ole St. Nick.  He will be here soon you know!  I used the Alarm Clock chipboard.  I painted it a classic Christmas red....sanded it a bit to give it a worn appearance.  From there I used it to frame in my retro Santa and Rudolph image. 

   

I also used the Snowflake Shape Set.  I painted them white to pop against the red and adhered them around my clock mingling them with jingle bells and a few berry sprigs. 

I added a sentiment along with some gorgeous ribbons and a berry.  I also covered a couple of greenery sprigs from the Winter Shape Set  with papers and added them for fun. 

Here it is all done!  I just adore this piece, it just makes me soooo happy!  Thanks for visiting!  I will be back soon!  Cherry
