Window Box

Hello! Today’s  5x7 card was inspired by the current challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs, Wedding/Anniversary.

My card features Window A. I started by cutting the background from the largest of the Classic Coved Rectangle Silver Stackers. I wanted a subtle pattern without a lot of color so I embossed the coved rectangle with the stunning Diamonds & Starburst XL Embossing Plate. In the corners, I tucked in lacy diecuts from the Lace Corner Deco F set to add a bit of elegant flair.

To create the window box, I cut a Square Scalloped Stacker Nesting Die. I folded the top portion down to give my “box” scalloped “trim.” I then folded in the edges and bottom to create a three-dimensional box.

The flowers filling my box are Darling Daisies, Miniature Roses, Medium Rose, and Build a Flower #1.

Foliage is Olive Branches, Pine Branches, Flourish Leaf Strip, Small Leaves #2.

The image is stamped on the Classic Oval Silver Stacker, layered atop the Scalloped Oval Stacker Nesting Die. Adorned with a Darling Daisy and Pine Branch.

Modern Wedding Colors

It seems to me that weddings now a days love to break away from traditional colors.

Over at Joy's Life Design Team we are making things this week focusing on the colors Orange, Turquoise and Yellow.  Over on our Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog, our current Challenge is Wedding and/or Anniversary.  I love combing challenges.  It makes it even MORE challenging.  So my challenge was to make a wedding card using the non-traditional colors, Orange, Turquoise and Yellow.

Here is what I came up with.

I started by cutting my background pieces with the Scalloped Rectangles.  I embosses the Turquoise on with the Dotted Swiss Embossing Plate and the Orange with the Black Eyed Susan Embossing Plate.

I made the pears out of the smallest of the eggs in the Nesting Eggs set.  I then just altered the egg to make it look more like a pear and less like and egg.

I embellished the rest of the card with Pretty Petals, 

Ribbon Eyelet Border and

Flourish Leaf Strip.

The cute phrase is actually 2 parts of 2 different phrases combined to make this perfect wedding card.

Bot phrases are from a set called Yummy Puns by Joy's Life Stamps.

I hope you have enjoyed my offbeat humor in my project today.

Quick made card - Kianel

Hi Cheery Lynn Designs lovers,

Kianel here with you and today i am showing you an quick made card which is fitting our challenge this week: wedding / anniversary. Go and enjoy the fun as you might also win a Big shot!!!

Okay, as you might have noticed i love to add many many details to my cards so for once i tought i could try with clean and simple but with a vintage feeling. this is in fact a tag as you can hang it wherever you want.

The whole base is built out of the Heart to heart Lace Doily. You have 4 dies in this set and the possibility of getting 6 die cuts!!!!

 I then cut 3 pieces of the smallest heart and glued them together to make it pop out of the tag.

 A simple text and some leaves from the Flourish leaf strip and voilà!

Paper is from GCD and stamp from Magnolia.

Hope you will like this project and i wish you all a wonderful week enjoying the marvellous creations of my Dt mates, love from a sunny France, Kianel.

Happy Birthday To You

Ok,It is me Dawn today. I have  a quick project I put together this weekend with my limited reach to my craft supplies. Thank goodness I could reach my Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts and Big Shot.

Let me share a few steps with you to make my Birthday door hangar.

 I had this wooden door hangar I painted with one of  my favorite paint colors...

  I cut my first layer out with the Japanese Garden Lace Oval.I went to inking the outside with a brown and then used the inside with a green.I love these dies because I can use each piece ~ the positive and negative side.

I cut my stamped and colored image with Scalloped Oval.
I then decided to mat my image with the frame but needed a background to hold it all together.

I just used the die and traced around the shape~you know I fussy cut each of those scallops.NOW I know why I love using dies...lol

Then of course I went to work making some flowers to decorate my frame. Miniature Rose,
 Cuties 2  make a great small collage along with the leaves from my frame.

My last touches were adding some ribbon and trim and of course a Happy Birthday sentiment to the bottom.
I think this will be fun to add to the birthday person's door on their special day.
Thanks for joining me today~ here at Cheery Lynn Designs

Dreams Do Come True

Good Morning and welcome to the Cheery Lynn blog! Today I'm sharing a 12 x 12 layout that features several Cheery Lynn dies and my sweet little grand daughter Belle.  What little girl doesn't dream about being a Princess?  It's funny because I have 5 little princesses and when I was visiting I opened their closet and there were more princess gowns than regular clothes!!! I had to have a photo and will share that soon here!

To make the flowers on this layout I used Judy's Blooms and the Large Rose.  I layered the English Tea Party Doily underneath the flowers.  If you haven't noticed...I almost always add a butterfly or 2.  To finish everything off and give the layout some motion I added the Mini Fanciful Flourish to the flowers.

 Thanks for stopping by the Cheery Lynn blog today!

Be sure to check out the new challenge at the CLD Challenge blog!

Blessed Beyond Measure

There is a small country church, not too far from where I live - and I've always thought it was so picturesque. My sister and I took my nephew over there, and got some of my all time favorite photographs. I just think this picture is so sweet. It was so fun combining my dies and this picture for a fun 12 x 12 layout.

I love adding the stamens from the Build- A-Flower Set to all of my existing flower dies - it gives them a whole new look.

The Doily Stacker Circle also adds a whole new dimension to the center of the Mega Tea Party Doily.

There's a new challenge at the CLD Challenge blog - and this week we want to see Wedding/ Anniversary projects. We hope you will play along with us!

Remember This

Hello! Today’s 12x12 layout is inspired by this weeks challenge, Red White and Blue.

I started by creating a border around my background paper with Lace Light Deco Border. Next, I layered the Nautical Wheeler Doily, Mega Tea Party Doily, and the center of the Polynesian Sails Oval Doily. To matte my photo, I chose to stagger to cuts from the middle size French Flair Classic Silver Stacker. Along the bottom you see the Flower Chain Border resting atop the Border Carnivale.

To create the banner, I used half of the center cut of Polynesian Sails Oval for each pennant.

I really wanted to add a flag to my little cluster but didn’t have one. What does a crafty person do when they can find what they are looking for? Create their own! For the red piece, I cut the smallest of the Scalloped Coved Rectangle Small Stacker Nesting Dies.  I handstiched some stripes and created French knots for the stars. Once complete, I wrapped the coved edge around a toothpick for the pole. It’s not politically correct but it is original! J The flower was created using the Medium Rose. Foilage is from the Olive Branch, Flourish Leaf Strip, and Small Leaves #2.

There is still time to get your entry in for this weeks challenge, also being your entry for the Big Shot! Details Here

Have a great weekend, and thank you for stopping by.

Celebrating America

It's hard to believe that we are nearing the 4th of July, but it is just around the corner.

Right now on the challenge blog the theme is Red, White and Blue for You, so today my project is based on that theme.

I started with a canvas from Canvas Corp and used lots of Canvas Corp paper to make this adorable 4th of July altered canvas.

I took my inspiration from the Mary Engelbreit image you see on the canvas.  This was from a small desk calendar I have.  I use the calendar on a lot of different art projects.

The strip for the base I cut with the Wittle Weavers. The swag on the white fence is called Patriotic Swag and the fence is called Victorian Picket Fence. The small flower by the phrase is the Medium Rose.

I also used the Scalloped Rectangles and squares, 

The little banner is just made from cut of squares.

So there you have it, my take on Red, White and Blue for You.

I hope you can go over to the challenge blog and play along.

Little Reflection box - Kianel

Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs friends,
Kianel with you today to show you a little box i made using Cheery Lynn designs reflection dies.

 I used the Mini pearl square mega doily die set to build the box. For the lid i used the one that measures 13cm so i could have a 2 cm height on each side. For the box base i needed a higher side so i used the die measuring 18,5cm.

 The finished box measures 11x11cm and is 3,75cm high. Little enough to be cute and big enough to have lovely presents inside.

 The die gave me a cute border all along my box base and box lid. I love that, so clever! I then decorated each side with paper from Magnolia.

 I then built several layers using Little circle stackers combined with the Mini pearl circle mega doily. The stamp is from Florilège design (french company and means "you").

 I also used the One free wish die, but divided it in two parts to fit my box. You always have many possibilities with just one Cheery Lynn die, that's why they are such a great investment! I placed the moon part of the die around my different layers. Beautiful design! I also added some leaves from the Flourish leaf strip die.

The other part of the die, i used for itself and slightly inked and covered with Creative Inspirations paints and on 3d pads.

 The flower i made with a stamen bucket i had and several  Lace corner deco D and added the Flourish leaf strip too.
I hope you will like this little box and i also would like to remind you to join us on our weekly challenge as you have the chance to win shopping sprees and also a Big Shot.
Love from France, Kianel.
