Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here creating some last-minute ornaments for my tree and for gifts. I am using the 60 degree triangles from the Quilt and Fabric dies! These are a bit deeper than our normal Cheery Lynn Designs Dies and allow for multiple pieces of cardstock to be cut at once! This makes creating a project like this where you would need 20 triangles so much quicker and easier.

Remember there is still time to join the new challenge!!! Challenge #164

Hello everyone!

Jenn here with my first post as guest designer for my most favorite die company!  I hope this finds everyone having an absolutely wonderful and crafty weekend so far!

For my card, I pulled out my much loved rose strip dies.  I've seen a technique that I've been wanting to play around with... spritzing and scrunching.  I'm always so thrilled with how versatile Cheery Lynn's flower dies are and how you can get different looks even with the same dies.  All three of my flowers were made with the same three Cheery Lynn rose strips (one strip of each size: miniature, medium and large).

 
The roses were all made of Tissue Stock.  The one on the bottom left was shaped, while the rose on the top was shaped and then spritzed and scrunched.  The last rose on the right was spritzed and scrunched without being shaped.  Each so easy, yet so very pretty!

The card base was cut from the largest of the French Flair Stackers.  The border was made with largest of the French Flair Doily Stackers, then cut out of the middle was the second largest of the French Flair Stackers, and filled in with the same cut on a different paper.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

 Hello, to all of you Cheery Lynn Designs lovers out there!  On my project today, I wanted to show you how to take the small rose die, and use it to create an apple blossom (at least that's what I think it looks like!)  I used a patterned paper that had branches with flowers and leaves already printed on it, but I thought it would look great to add some dimension over the top.  I didn't try to line the elements up exactly to what was printed, but rather arranged them to compliment each other.  This really creates a big wow factor, in no time at all.  For the blooms, I used one layer from the smallest rose strip, and then used centers from the BAF2 embellishments.  They really look so similar to the patterned paper.
