Hello! Liz here with another layout using the fabulous Cheery Lynn Designs . I actually used 13 CLD dies on this ONE layout!! LOL! I was having way too much fun. I decided that tucking the English Tea Party doily die behind my photo would be cute so I cut the inside of the doily out using the circle little stackers nesting dies shown below. Here's how my layout turned out... I love the flower dies! They are so easy and fun to mix and match. Here is my complete list of dies used: circle little stackers nesting dies, English Tea Party doily die, French Flair Nesting dies, Embossed Hearts Scalloped border, Butterfly, Floral Heart, Tropical Flower, Poinsettias 2 , Bird on a Branch, Flourish, Pretty Petal, Never Ending Love Hearts, Basic Optimistic Font , Alphabet Dies

If you are layer challenged when making your cards, the Card Maker Stackers are the dies for you.  They come in Rectangle and Scalloped Rectangle.  I only have the Scalloped set so that is what I used on my card for today.


I picked my card stock and 3 sheets of paper from My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose Mabel 6x6 collection.  Then it was just a matter of cutting out some panels.  For the background of my card I used the largest Scalloped Square XL Stackers Nesting die and a fourth patterned paper from the same collection.  Usually I put the scallops on the outside but I like this look.  An easy way to get the rectangle around the scalloped panel is to lay the die flat on the paper and trace around it.  Then trim it out and you have a perfect card stock panel to mount your scalloped pattern piece.  Now the fun part, move the panels around on the card until you get a look you like. 

I decided to use the plaid panel for my image, it was the perfect size, adding a ribbon for her to sit on.  I stamped Magnolia's Tilda with Puppy onto Cryogen paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and trimmed her out.  Copics used:
Tilda - E000,. E00, R20, white Glaze pen
Hair - YR21, YR24
Bibs - BG000, BG72
Heart - E08
Top - YR12, YR18
Shoes - E43, E44
Puppy - YR21

I airbrushed the flowers from my stash to match as well as the gems.  I used my Scalloped Circle Little Stackers Nesting die to create the sentiment panel, again tracing the die for the panel behind it.  The words are from Hero Arts.  The last step was the leaves, die cut using my Dimensional Large Leaves set.  I added some Vintage Photo Distress ink to the edges for some accents.  Finished size is 6" square.

Every once in a while, I like to take a break from creating layouts and bust out a card or two. I've wanted to use Cheery Lynn Designs' Going Batty die for the longest time, but didn't have any ideas outside of Halloween...that is until now! I layered one of the classic nested circle dies and 2 different doilies dies to serve as the back drop for the bats.

I used the Large Rectangle Stitcher Plate and the Embossing Pad to emboss the Core'dinations Cardstock card base and then sanded so the pattern and color would shine through.

here's a close up

I created this next card for a friend who's due to have a baby girl any day now! I used this technique for stretching the larger french flair die cut.

There's lots of texture on this card, but I added even more by embossing using the Large Rectangle Pierce Plate.

Hello,

For this card i used the following products:


I hope you will like this card, and don't forget to pop by everyday to see the beautiful creations of my DT mates, love from France, Kianel.

I simply adore how beautifully the new Silver Stackers dies (silver in color) combine with Cheery Lynn Designs Stackers Nesting dies (purple in color) to create perfectly spaced layers for papercraft projects.  They make creating cards so fun and easy and today, I'm going to show you how to use Cheery Lynn Designs Classic Circles to create this clean and simple masculine card.

For this project I used both the Circle Classic Large Stackers Nesting Dies and the Silver Stackers Circles to create the large circle for the middle of this 5 x 5 sqaure Birthday card and the Small Classic Circles Nesting Dies and Silver Stackers to create the small layer circle under the button.

1. Create a 5 x 5 cardbase with Core'dinations Whitewash Collection cardstock.

3. Cut 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 square of patterned paper (I used Cosmo Cricut's new patterned paper from the Salt Air collection) and adhere to cardbase.
4. Die cut Core'dinations cardstock from the second largest Classic Circles Large Nesting Dies and sand edges.
5. Die cut patterned paper from the second largest Silver Stackers Classic Circles dies and adhere to larger circle and then cardbase.
6. Cut piece of Core'dinations cardstock to fit front of card and emboss with XL Damask Embossing Plate. Sand embossed image with Sand It Gadget.
7. Stamp sentiment and adhere to card front as shown.
8. Die cut Core'dinations cardstock from second largest Small Classic Circles Nesting dies.
9. Die cut white cardstock using Small Silver Stackers Classic Circles Nesting dies (2nd largest die in set) and adhere to larger circle with Pop Dots and card front with adhesive tape.
10. Stamp wreath onto white circle.
11. Tie button with twine and adhere to circle.

Thanks for stopping by the Cheery Lynn Designs blog today!

Happy Thursday, blog readers! I splurged and bought many of the fun new releases that so many paper manufacturers came out with this year. While playing with them, I realized just how perfect Cheery Lynn Designs dies coordinates with ALL of them!

This fun paper collection needed some extra elements and the dies I used fit so nicely.

The button dies are so realistic-looking and they work great as checkers playing pieces. The best part is that you can make many of the exact color you need from your paper stash when more than a few are needed. Try doing that with real buttons.

Here is my complete list of dies used:
Buttons 3 dies
Never Ending Love Heart dies
Mantel Decorations (flourish) die
Micro Mini Alphabet dies
Basic Optimistic font Alphabet dies
Embossed Hearts Scalloped Border

Have a fantastic day!

For my project today, I used a new XL embossing plate from Cheery Lynn Designs called Easter Bunny Eggs.  I embossed my card stock then used a shade darker ink to emphasize the raised areas.  I created my easel card base as well as the card front using my Scallop French Flair XL Stacker die.  Then using my Silver French Flair Stacker and my Classic French Flair Stacker I created the layers for the card front.  I layered a Circle XL Stacker die onto a Scallop Circle XL Stacker die to created the round frame to which I added Lattice 2.

For the base I used my Fanciful Flowers XL embossing plate, again accenting the raised area with darker ink.  For the border piece, I cut 3 strips of card stock, purple, gold and yellow, adding texture to the yellow piece with my Rectangle Stitcher plate.  Then I placed them on my French Flair die, lining them up across the points and cut all 3 layers at one time.  The flowers are from my stash but I used Dimensional Small Leaves 2 and Bird of a Branch 2 for the flourish. The sentiment is from Sweet Stamps.


The adorable images are from Magnolia Stamps; Bunny Tilda and one of Edwin's chicks, stamped with Memento Tuxedo black onto Cryogen paper.  Copics used:
Tilda - E000, E00, R20
Bunny suit - BV000, BV01, R20
Basket - E21, E33
Eggs - R21, Y35, B21, BV01
Shadow - C1
Chick - Y11, Y35, YR12
I added clear Gelly Roll pen to her wings and to the dots on her belly, ears and feet.  I added some pearl accents with my Viva Decor Pearl pens and then airbrushed some gems to match with BV17 and added them to the front panel.  Finished size is 5 5/8" square.

It must be Monday again because it's my turn to post here on the blog!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did! I spent it with my long time friends for a much needed girls' getaway weekend. We ditched the hubbies, the kiddos and the diets, hit the spa and hung out. We always have so much FUN together!

Speaking of fun...

My son's school sure knows how to keep school fun! For instance, every March, they have several theme days for the students (i.e. Crazy Hat Day, Crazy Sock Day, and Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character Day). Donovan gets so excited about these days! Last year, he wore the really tall St. Patrick's Day hat seen here for Crazy Hat Day and this year he donned a cowboy hat.

I wanted to keep this layout simple so that the focus stayed on the photos. The shamrock border on the hat inspired me to use Cheery Lynn Designs dies to create my own borders.

I used the smallest French Flair die to create a border that highlighted my journaling strip. After cutting the die 3 times, I cut each in half and then embossed using the Dots/Lines embossing folder to add texture.

I used the smallest 2 dies in the XL Circle Nesting Stackers to create a border for part of my title and then finished it off using the School Days font.
