Spring Wishes with Cherry Delight

Hello, MLS Friends! It's Robyn with you today, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready for SPRING!!

At our house, Spring seems to be the season of birthdays, so I've been getting a jump on things by creating some cards with the Cherry Delight collection from My Little Shoebox.

 I love how the doilies in this collection give it a bit of a vintage look. I decided to use this paper as a background image and add in a few die-cuts to create this card:

To create the flower, I used a starburst punch shape in between two of the die-cut flowers and added a vintage button to the top.

This next card uses one of my favorite color combos: bright pink and lime green. I added foam dots to the backs of the stickers to pop them off the card a bit.

The doily was cut with my die-cutting machine, but you could just as easily add a mini paper cake doily to achieve the same look.

Thanks for visiting today and many wishes for beautiful days ahead!

 

Teen Adventures

Hello, My Little Shoebox friends! I'm happy to share 2 of my latest MLS layouts.  Today's projects are all about teen adventures.

My sons love hunting and four wheeling.  It's difficult to convince them to pose for pics these days, but they were all smiles on this outdoor adventure.  I combined fabulous products from these MLS collections: Oh, Deer and Vintage Shop. Also included: Want2Scrap chipboard, Tsukinko Ink, Beacon Adhesives.

What is more wonderful than a school dance?  The MLS collection "Cherry Delight" was perfect to showcase this special event.  Also included: Want2Scrap bling, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, Tsukineko ink, Beacon Adhesives.

A huge thank you to Helen Chu and My Little Shoebox for allowing me to serve on the design team for the past 2 years.  It has been a wonderful experience.  I LOVE MLS paper products and have enjoyed every moment of creating with this amazing team!

Cherry Delight projects by Grace Tolman

Hello My Little Shoebox friends, Grace here to share with you some projects I made using the new line Cherry Delight. I love how this line had a good balance between large and small scale design papers. Take a peek at what I made with these beautiful papers...

IKEA mini album

I used the Cherry Delight collection to create this album about a recent family trip to our local Ikea. We went to our local Ikea to get a giftcard and ended up staying there longer that we had expected. I was of course soaking up all of the inspirations and the family looked forward to the food we were to enjoy at the cafeteria. Over this “stop at Ikea” errand became a day filled with new adventures.

Some of the papers have bold design to I made sure that I matted my photos with white cardstock to make them stand out. I had fun sprinkling some of the rolled up flower die cuts all over this project. They truly are a unique way to add your handmade touch to your projects. I finished them off by adding buttons and rhinestones to the centers.

Supplies Used:

Pattern papers- (50001 Charming; 50002 Serenade; 50003 Bliss; 50004 Happy times) Cherry Delight; Die cut- 50005 3D Roll-up flowers and accents, Cherry Delight; Stickers- 50006 Cardstock sticker, Cherry Delight; 50106 Woodgrain Muse Cardstock; 50151 Kiss Mini Alphabet sticker; Cardstock- WorldWin; Mini Album- Doodlebug Design Inc.; Ribbon- (green) Cosmo Cricket, (others) Sources Unknown; Button- Fancy Pants Design; Rhinestones and pearls- Prima; Flowers- Accent Creative Design; Typewriter- Royal; Twine- Peapod, The Twinery; Adhesives- Glue Arts, Creative Memories

Happy B-day card

I used a journaling block that had the floral accents already printed on it making for this card easy to put together.  I also think that by using a die cut scallop border and stickers made the process of making this card quick and easy.

Supplies Used:

Pattern papers- (50001 Charming; 50003 bliss; 50004 Happy Times ) Cherry Delight; Die cut- 50005 3D Roll-up flowers and accents, Cherry Delight; Stickers- 50006 Cardstock sticker, Cherry Delight; 50106 Woodgrain Muse Cardstock; Ribbon- Source Unknown; Cardstock- WorldWin; Rhinestone- EK Success; Adhesives- Glue Arts, Creative Memories

 

To My Friend Card

this might be familiar to some of you cause I used this for the recent My Little Shoebox and Unity Stamp blog hop.

I stamped the Japanese girl stamp on three different papers and then cut out parts of it and then layered the design on top of each other to create dimension and color.

I added some glitter on the hair and hair piece accent to create some shine on top of the stamped girl’s hair.

 

Supplies Used:

Cardstock- Bazzill; {Pattern papers: (11859, Linen & Carnation) Happy Go Lucky; (50013, Heirloom) Vintage Shop; (50003, Bliss; 50004, Happy Times; 50001, Charming) Cherry Delight; Stickers- Cherry Delight, Cardstock Sticker; Letters- (50152) Cream Mini Alphabet Sticker; die cut strip- (50005) 3d flower and accents, Cherry Delight} My Little Shoebox; Stamp- (IB-MLS-392) You’re my bestie, Unity Stamp; Ink- Chestnut, American Crafts; Pen- Creative Memories; Glitter- Frosted lace, Stickles, Ranger Industries; Adhesives- Helmar, Creative Memories

Cherry Delight-FUL

Hello MLS fans! Liz here today and I am excited to share a few projects that I made using the new Cherry Delight collection. I created and covered this flower chipboard mini album with all sorts of Cherry Delight goodness.

I treated the cover with a window die cut and dressed it up with Cherry Delight stickers and 3D Roll Up flowers and leaves.

The back of my album is surrounded by ruffled doilies for great added texture and interest.

And finally, I have two cards to share with you using the same adorable collection. Just A Note

You Make Me Smile

Thanks for stopping by today!

Creating with Cherry Delight

Hello My Little Shoebox fans!

Here’s Monique today with two fun projects: a layout and a photo frame, both using the brand new “Cherry Delight” line.

As red is my favorite color, I had so much fun working with this line (but to be honest, I adore working with every line of My Little Shoebox!).

Let me start with my layout. I created a page of my adorable little niece.

and a few details:

I love to use the 3D Roll-Up Flowers, not rolled-up but stacked on top of each other.

To create the title I used the Muse Cardstock Alphabet Stickers and adhered them to the banner . I think that I used the entire sheet of 3D Roll-Up Flowers and Accents:

Supplies: MLS Cherry Delight: Charming (50001), Serenade (50002), Bliss (50003), Happy Times (50004), 3D Roll-Up Flower and Accents (50005), Cardstock Sticker (50006), Muse Cardstock Alphabet Sticker (50101 Firecracker). Other supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Then on to my next project: When I was having my lunch break I strolled through the city centre (where I work) and found this cute photo frame in the shape of a house. I knew straight away what I was going to do with it!!

some details:

I’m really happy how this turned out!

Supplies: Cherry Delight: Charming (50001), Happy Times (50004), 3D Roll-Up Flower and Accents (50005), Cardstock Sticker (50006), Mini Alphabet Stickers (50151 – Kiss).

Thanks for stopping by My Little Shoebox’ blog today!

Hugs,

Making a kite with the new 3D Roll-Up Flower Sheets

Hi My Little Shoebox fans!

The new My Little Shoebox 3D Roll-Up Flower sheets have a new look! They now include leaf and fun accent shapes (which I love).

The cute diamond shaped pieces remind me of kites so that's what I decided to make with them.

Here's how to make them a little more dimensional...

With a sharp tool, score a line through the middle, from the top to bottom and from both sides.

Now fold along the scored lines, you now have a dimensional piece.

Add some string and you have a cute, realistic looking kite!

These cute papers are from the new Cherry Blossom collection.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
