Floral Arrangement

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie hosting the blog today from Debbie's Time Out . Today I am going to share a card with you using some beautiful flowers and greenery from Cheery Lynn Designs..

For the base I matted a purple patterned paper with black cardstock. I cut one of the Nautical Wheeler Doily. The doily cuts out in two pieces. So I layered the large one onto the base first and then tucked the smaller one in behind on the top corner. This gave me a pretty base to layer my flowers and greenery onto.

I cut and layered some greenery onto the doily from the Fern Leaf, Branch 2 and Olive Branches sets. The big center flower was created using the Daisy Strip . The smaller flowers were cut from the Tea Rose small and the Tea Rose Medium. All flowers were colored and then sprayed with water and shaped with a stylus. Some pearls and prills were added to the center of the flowers.

On the inside of the card I used the Pop Up Best Wishes. These pop up cards are fun and easy to make.

Thanks so much for visiting the blog today. I hope you find some time today to craft, create and relax. Have a crafty day my friends.

Faith, Hope & Love by Jenny Alia

Hi friends! I'm back with a floral card. I haven't made as many flowers lately and I've missed it. There's something so soothing and maybe gratifying about making flowers. I love how by changing the colors and how you bend the petals the look you can achieve is so different.

Because these flowers created using the Build a Flower #2 die were so large I used the big Fern Leaf to complement them and then added in some Dandelions as filler.

Bliss:

The flowers where prepaired two cards back and I had some left that I used on this card. For my card I used leftover papers by 49 and Market from several collection. I just love it when you can make cards from scraps you have left from making a layout.

Moments That Last a Lifetime Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:00 AM 1 Comments

Hello lovely Cheery Lynn Fans.

I told you in my last post I love making flowers and this time I would like to show you two different canvas flowers that I made with two different dies from Cheery Lynn!

For this card I wanted to go with the earthty tones from the amazing "Vintage Artistry" collection by 49 and Market. I bought some canvas fabric in two different colors and I still had some bookbind stuff in my stash that I could use one the backside of the canvas to give it more body and so it wouldn't fall in to pieces while cutting it.

Moments That Last a Lifetime:

I think my canvas flowers turned out amazing. I love them to bits!! This was such a great card to make. Lately I really enjoy making cards more than I could have imagined.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

CASO-16 - Nesting Doll Oval #1 {set of 6}

B370 - Birch Tree With Cute Critters

SF-6 - Stacker Flower #6

C184 - Judys Blooms

B666 - Fern Leaf

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Dream by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello, it's Jenny here from Jen's Paper Obsession hosting the blog today. I'm sharing a card I made that has a window in the front. I was planning a shaker card but with everything going on inside the window I decided to keep it simpler. It does have a raised plastic window though.

I cut a circle in the piece of designer paper and sandwiched the plastic between that circle and a piece of thin chipboard in which I cut a smaller circle. I also cut the Dream word out of the same chipboard before painting it with some new sparks paint. The mushrooms were backed with white paper and I cut the read tops and mounted them on mushrooms cut out of white. I added all my elements and adhered the layers together with a strong double sided tape.

For a Special Mother by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 12:30 AM 3 Comments

Nice to see you here today. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out. I hope you are having a wonderful day doing what you love to do. I know Mother's Day is over but wanted to do one more Mother's Day Card . You could give a Mom this card any day of the year to show her how special she is without waiting until Mother's Day.

I had this beautiful piece of dragonfly paper in my stash that was card size and thought what a beautiful card that would make if I didn't cover the dragonfly up. I did like the end results.

Here I inked and layered one of the frames from the Square Frames set. I layered the Fern Leaf and the small leaves which are from the Flourish #13 . The flowers I used are Chrysanthemum Strip , Shasta Daisy , Daisy Strip and Judy's Blooms . The centers of the flowers are from the Build a Flower # 1.

This sentiment is cut from one of the Say What? (Set of 16).

Here I have tucked in one of the vases from the Vase (Set of 4) set in behind the floral arrangement. I used a piece of paper that had a tiny flower design to cut the vase from and I think the vase turned out so pretty.

I invite you to come on over to the Cheery Lynn Designs blog

Have a crafty week my friends.

Hi. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out with you today. I hope you are having a wonderful day. I have a card to share with you today using the beautiful CLD flower dies.

I always keep my scraps of paper as they can make the most beautiful card bases. I matted this beautiful designer paper with black cardstock for my base. I then layered the intricate Japanese Garden Lace Oval doily. All it needed now was flowers.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside opening of the doily.

Here I have used the Judy's Blooms , Black Eyed Susan Strip , Sweet Williams Strip , and the Shasta Daisy to make the assortment of flowers. The Embellishment #2 was used for some of the centers for the flowers.

I used the Fern Leaf for filler behind the flowers and added one of the butterflies from the Mini Butterflies w Angel Wings .

I invite you now to come join our bi-weekly challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge . The theme is "Anything Goes".

Thank You for stopping by today and for all the comments that get left. I enjoy reading them. Have a crafty week my friends.

Thinking of You with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone, Lisa here today sharing with you another spring card made for Cheery Lynn Designs. The "fern" is a new die that I thought went so well with the papers that I chose today. I added the "bird bath" and the "garden bench" to go with the theme I was trying to make. Which it happened to be about a beautiful spring day and walking through a lush park.

I added some pop dots behind the "garden bench" and the "bird bath". The sentiment was stamped on cardstock and fussy cut out. Behind the bench is an "ornamental fence" it has such beautiful details. Actually, all the dies are so very detailed. I fussy cut out some of the flowers from the patterned paper to blend in the background a bit more. Lastly, I added some birds from "bird bath".

Nesting BlueJay By Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 9:45 AM 2 Comments

Hi It's Debbie here from Debbie's Time Out. I am sharing with you today a card using just four die sets. Three of them are new from the last release.

For this card I started with three square mats in the black and green followed by the Fleur De Lis Square Doily. The edges were inked up with distress ink. The beautiful Fern Leaf was layered next. I used the Bird Nest And Eggs die set to create the birds nest. There are two nests with this set and I layered one top of the other. I cut a couple of the smallest eggs and inked them in blue and then splattered some brown specks on them with ink and a brush. The bird is from the Feathered Friends set. There are four different birds in the set. I used the blue jay and inked it up. I must say this bird nest set is pretty cool.

I invite you now to join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree and possibly be one of our top three picks for the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today and for the comments you leave. They are very much appreciated.

Valentine Heart Gift Bag by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Good morning lovelies.
Today I would like to show you a gift bag I made for Valentine's Day {I know I am a little late but never too late for love right?} For this bag I used a retired die DL111 - Heartland America XL as the base of my bag! So the size of the bag is about 15.5cm by 15.5cm without the handle.
This was such a fun and easy project to make....and you can surprise your love with some candy inside. I used some left overs from the "Vintage Autumn Basics"collection by Maja Design.
I always hoard my leftover pieces so I can give them to my neighbor but this time I used them myself.

Valentine Heart Gift Bag:

First I cut out the outer die from the heartland die out of the flower sheet and on top of that I placed the rest of that die cut out of green paper.

Then I cut out a piece of 30cm by 8cm which I scored on 15cm, on 2cm and on 6cm. Then I made little cuts all the way of the 30cm piece on both sides.

Now I am ready for the decoration.....using the pretty C184 - Judy's Blooms as my flower piece.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B666 - Fern Leaf

B675 - Sweetheart Candy
DL303 - Pierced Banners {set of 3}
D136 - Dimensional Large Leaves #2
DL266 - Dripping Butterfly

Mixed Media Frame by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello! It's Jenny here with you today. Since the current challenge theme is Anything Goes I thought I'd make something different than a card. This is a picture frame made out of chipboard. I've never created anything like this before so I took lots of photos along the way.

First I cut three pieces of thin chipboard to 5.5" square. I cut the middle out of two of the three pieces using two different sizes of the Scalloped Square Stackers. The two pieces with square windows will be used to double mat the central image and the whole square is for the back of the frame.

I painted the frame with the larger square opening with a clear matte gesso. When the gesso was dry I glued elements from the new Quadrafoil Accents die set (also cut out of chipboard) on top and then painted the entire frame with a metallic distress paint. I wasn't worried about the paint being even because I planned to cover it.

I sponged black distress ink on top because I wanted contrast and an antique feel. The crackle paste I used suggested a black color base. There was still a metallic sheen to the frame.

I covered the frame with white Crackle paste, leaving less on the raised Quadrafoil Accents so they'd show up more. I didn't worry about neatness. Variations makes the crackle interesting when dry.

My heat tool unfortunately went on strike so while I was waiting I added clear crackle glaze to the edges of the flowers. The large flower was created using the Stacker Flower 5 die. The smaller roses are from the Tea Rose Medium die. They were colored with distress ink and sprayed with shimmery mists.

Once the crackle glaze was dry and I moved around the flowers a bit to determine placement.

The sentiment paired well with the vibrant flowers but everything felt too bright so I added brown distress ink to the frame and flowers.

The second piece of chipboard with the smaller window was colored with bronze metallic paint. I sandwiched a piece of clear acetate from toy packaging between the two chipboard mats before gluing the chipboard together.

I added a stand to the third piece of chipboard so the frame can stand independently. The chipboard was thin so I cut and glued two pieces together to create the stand and scored and folded the top.

Brads connect the stand to the frame. I punched two small holes through the top part of the stand as well as through the back of the frame and then threaded two brads through the holes.

Last in the assembly, I glued the front of the frame to the back only gluing around the bottom and sides, leaving the top open in case I want to change the image inside. I put heavy books on top to hold the chipboard together while it dried.

The Fern Leaves were coated with a sepia gloss and I adhered the flowers and leaves to the frame with the same glaze.
