I know why the caged bird is singing on this card!

Did you get my reference to the famous book?  

See my Caged Hummingbird?

I am still having a ton of fun with dies from the August New Release.

The new dies I have used on the card are Bird Cage, Hummingbird, Celtic Whimsy and Embellishment #2. 

Dies that are not from the new release are Scalloped Rectangle's, and Mini Fanciful Flourish.

I am so impressed with the intricate pattern of the Celtic Whimsy.  It cut easily and is such an impressive pattern.  This is easily one of my new favorites.

I also love the new Bird Cage.  What a gorgeous design.

Have you had a chance to head on over to our Challenge blog?

I just peeked and we are up to 41 entries already!  WOW, it's not even the weekend yet.

The theme is anything goes.  Remember you do need to use a Cheery Lynn Designs dies in your project/card to qualify, but still anything goes?  What have you got to lose?  

Have a great weekend!  This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today's Cheery Lynn Designs post.

No stamps card! - Kianel

Hello dear Cheery Lynn Designs lovers!

Kianel here with you today. You know how i like to challenge myself so this time i decided to go for a no stamp card (well, i must admit it felt excruciating not to use any, lol!) on a christmas theme and to use one die as a mask. You'll have to forgive my poor attempt as i was way too far from my comfort zone here... Anyway, here is the card:

It's about 16cm x16cm. The base is made with size 4 of Kaleidoscope lace mega doily.

To make my background, i took the inner diecut of the Mexican tile pattern and used it as a mask with brown ink. Pretty cool effect you get i think.

The flower is made with several dies: the first petals are from the Build a flower #2 set, inked with distress and covered with Creative inspirations shimmer paint. I then rolled some pink tulle and finally placed the inner part of the Notre Dame cathedral doily under. I then added The mini leaf and the leaves from the Build a flower #2 set. When placed on the card, i added some pearl band bits here and there.

The border is called celtic weave and is sooo delicate!

Small butterflies from the mini dimensional butterflies are placed here and there.

I finally added the smallest text of the Merry christmas set (to which i took the snowflakes off).

Don't forget our weekly challenge for a chance to win a 20$ shopping spree and the opportunity of becoming one of our weekly spotlights!

Take care and have fun with Cheery Lynn dies! Love from France, Kianel.

Happy Birthday

Today I have created a Happy Birthday easel card using my Mega Sunflower Doily die as inspiration.   I cut the doily in half and using spray adhesive added it to the side of my card.  It is a perfect backdrop for this fabulous image from Impression Obsession.  Next I added the new Happy Birthday sentiment, which I trimmed to split the words and removed the gift from the end of the 'y'. 

 I added Anastasia border to the card base and this beautiful Sunflower (adding Flower Soft in the center of the flower)  The leaves are from the new Build a Flower 2 die set. 

Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.  Be sure to visit the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog for more inspiration and to join in on this week's Anything Goes challenge for a chance to win $20 to the store.

Happy!!!

Good Morning Cheery Lynn followers!! It seems like I have been to a lot of weddings in the last few summers!  I'm one of those guests who always take a lot of photos and then make sure the happy couple gets a copy of everything I have.  It's exciting for them because they get photos that their hired photographer usually doesn't catch.  Although this photo is very similar to the one the photographer took so I added my own twist with some photo shopping.  Cheery Lynn Designs has some of the most beautiful dies for wedding scrap booking.  I reach for them every time I do a wedding layout.  For this 12x12 layout I used several new releases along with some of my favorite old standbys!!  For the Flourish I used the Tropical Flourish Die and for the Doily's I used the French Pastry Doily. The new releases I used are the Hummingbird, Build a Flower #2 and the for the leaves I used the Build a Flower #1 Petals and Leaves.  The smaller flowers are an oldie but a goodie, the Cherry Blossom Die.

This week our challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is Anything Goes!!!

The winner will be chosen based on merit by Cheery Lynn Designs. They will receive a $20 coupon for shopping at the Cheery Lynn website. The challenge will end on Sunday night at 22:00 Eastern time.  In addition, our design team members will be voting on 3 favorites who will receive a Weekly Spotlights badge to display on their blog. Be sure to come back on Wednesday to see who earned the badge.

Have fun creating and thanks for stopping by the Cheery Lynn Blog today!!

Aw, Shucks

Aw, shucks! Doesn't my sweet nephew look adorable wearing his cowboy hat (he was actually watching Saturday morning cartoons - and had to have on his proper attire!) So sweet, but I can't believe how little he was here.

I wanted to show you the difference in the Cheery Lynn Designs older style roses and the one made with the new Build a Flower 2.

The large flower is made with the Build a Flower 2. With one pass of the die, you can cut 10 petals at a time - how awesome is that!? And did you notice the rose bud? I adore it - and it's so simple to make. The smaller rose was made with the Large and Medium Roses, but I love how this lets you have different sized flowers on the same project. The Baby's Breath was made with the Build a Flower Accessories 2. There are just so many flowers that we can create now, and Mike is already working on the 3rd die in this series! To see some of the possiblities that you can already create - please have a look at the Build a Flower Tutorials. We will be adding to this - so if there is any type of flower you'd like to see, let us know!

Our challenge this week is Anything Goes - so show us your projects using Cheery Lynn Designs and you could win a $20 gift certificate!

Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend.. Tamara here and I would like to show you a project that I have been working on over the week.  I have used acetate to create a domed card.  

Cheery Lynn Dies used to create this card are:- 

Bird Cage 

Mini Dimension Butterflies with angel wings, Mini Leaf set, Embellishments #2, Frangipani with leaves, Grass Border, Lace Deco Corner # F, Victorian Picket Fence, Lace Light Deco Border, Victoria Romance Flourish, French Flair Classic LG Nesting Stackers, French Flair Classic - LG Silver Stackers

These are the Frangipani with leaves which I have teamed up with the new embellishment kit #2.  In the background you can just see the grass border and Victorian picket fence. I have distressed the fence using Antique Linen and Walnut Satin inks.  

Here you can see the added dimension to the card using acetate to create the dome..

Other view of the dome and those wonderful flowers.. 

Here we have those new amazing Mini dimensional butterflies. Aren't they gorgeous.. 

Hope you have enjoyed my little bit of inspiration on this Sunday Morning.. You still have time to enter into our prize draw for this week, head on over to the challenge blog to find our more.. 

Thank You

Hello! Jodi here with another 12x12 layout for you today.

I just love the new Chicken Wire Frame! It adds fantastic texture! I hand cut pieces out of two frames and added a bit of distress ink here and there to give the wire a bit more of a worn look. The new Thank You sentiment can easily be added as a title to a layout as well as used for a card. I added the Wedding Garter atop Lace Light Deco Border at an angle for a bit of interest.

Tags are a fun embellishment to add to any card or layout. I love to use the Classic Coved Rectangle Silver Stacker to create custom tags for my specific project.

My flower was created with petals from the newly released Build a Flower #2 set, the stamen and little red flowers are from the Build a Flower Embellishment #2 and Build a Flower #1 sets. Foliage from Small Leaves #2, Mini Fanciful Flourish, and Pine Branches.

I wanted to share a close-up of the Chicken Wire. The details are just amazing!!

Other dies used: French Pastry Doily, Two of Hearts, Mini Dimensional Butterflies

"Love"ly card - with New Release Dies

Hello Everyone...This is Jeannie with a beautiful card to show off some of the new release of Cherry Lynn Designs dies.

In the top left corner I have used the new Butterfly Out die.

The bird on the branch is a combination of the new Hummingbird die and Embellishment #2 set.

The delicate flower is made from the Build a Flower #2 Plate. 

I've embellished some of the flowers and the butterfly with some i-rocks from Imaginisce, leftover from our fun joint swap with them.

My card is based on a design and products from a kit from Deena Ziegler.

I hope you have enjoyed my creation today.  I live for making these weekly creations, I really do!

Cheery Lynn Designs are magical to work with and this new release, WOW!!  That about says it all!

Have a great weekend, this has been Jeannie with The Polka Cabana posting for Cheery Lynn Designs.

Buggy card - Kianel

Hello,

Kianel here with you today for a card i made using some more dies from the new release: those are absolutely amazing!!!!

My card is 25cm x16,5cm. For the base of the card i used the size 6 die from the Scalloped rectangle mega doily set and then used the inner part as a template for my patterned paper.

The cute butterflies are from the mini dimensional butterflies set.
On the upper left corner is Lace deco corner deco B.
The frame is the gorgeous Honeycomb frame.

On the left of the card i placed  a big flower made using the Build a flower #2 set and the embellishment #2 set for the stamens.

My sentiment is placed on a label from the fantastic Sentiment frame #2 set together with the smallest of the Mini Dimensional butterflies with angel wings: soooo cute!
Under the sentiment plate and the flower is the celtic band .

My stamp is cut out using a Little circle stacker as a template. I then fixed it on a Kiwi doily.

The big flower is made with the Build a flower #2 set.
Look at the amazing details you can achieve with this set of dies. And the flowers look amazing ( my sister even thought it was a premade flower, lol!). I used 2 types of petals for this flower, white cardstock that i inked with distress inks for yummy color.

There you can also see embellishment #2 set for the small flowers and the baby breath.

Papers are MME and Webster's pages. Dies are Cheery Lynn designs. Stamps are Whimsy stamp and sentiment from Denim tampons. Colouring with distress inks and creative Inspirations shimmer paints.

This week's theme is "doily" so have fun!

Lots of love from sunny France, Kianel.

Chicken Wire Holiday Card

One of the Cheery Lynn Designs August new release dies is FRM144 Chicken Wire.  Unlike most of the frames produced by Cheery Lynn Designs, this cuts the chicken wire pattern into your paper but does not cut out the frame portion.  For my card, I created a card base 5 x 7 inches, taped the die to the front of the card, turned the card inside out and die cut the opening into the front panel.  Then I added the snowflake DP behind it.  Now if I want a frame, I would just cut my card stock to size, center the die and cut it out.  The beauty of this kind of die is that I can match the pattern and cut a bigger piece of chicken wire.  I will do just that for my Monday post on the challenge blog so be sure to stop by.  Now back to my card....

To create these beautiful snowflakes I used flower parts from B188 Embellishment 2 and B181B Build a Flower 1.  I used pop dots between the layers to give them more dimension.  My last step was to add the Happy Holidays Sentiment.  A very easy but lovely card.

My Garden

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans!! Debbie with you today sharing a couple of projects using the new die releases by Cheery Lynn. My first project features  a 12 x 12 layout using the new Build a Flower #2 die, the Honeycomb die, and the Mini Dimensional Butterflies with Angel Wings die. I also used some of my favorite old standbys the Mega Fanciful Flourish, English Tea Party Doily, and the Border Carnivale die.
The photo is of my sweet grand daughters Adria and Belle.  They were here for a visit and we took a little trip to our local Children's Villiage.  They have beautiful gardens but these two are the flowers in my garden.

My next project is also using the Cheery Lynn Releases.  This card features the new Build a Flower #2 die, Honeycomb die, Hummingbird and the Mega Fanciful Flourish Die.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and as always thanks for stopping by the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog today!
