Vintage Christmas

Today's Cheery Lynn card is one that I have just fallen in love with. First I'm using the latest Christmas collection from KaiserCraft, St. Nicholas. It has such a great vintage feel that compliments my style of card perfectly and really goes nice with my die cuts.
I love the way the handmade poinsettias show their veins from the die. It adds to the realistic look of the flowers. Cheery Lynn Dies make it so easy to just layer and layer and come up with some fantastic creations.
Here is a complete list of all the dies used on this card, so you can create your own. Have a great weekend and I'll see you next week.

Faux Ruffles Tutorial
Lori
3:30 AM

Today I have a quick little tutorial to share with you for making faux fabric ruffles.
Step One: Cut card
stock with a border die of your choice. I used the Anastasia Border B136.
Step Two: Spritz
water on the front and back of your paper and let it soak in for a minute.
Step Three: Pinch and
gather your paper along the top, letting the bottom ruffle out. You could use tweezers or a piercer, but I
find it’s just as easy with my fingers.
Step Four: Slightly
pull out to the desired look and let the paper dry completely. If you want to speed up the drying time you
can use a heat gun.
Here is an example of
the ruffle applied to a project. Check
back Friday for the finished project and to see how I used the faux fabric
ribbon.

Good Morning, it's that time of the week that I get to share my latest Cheery Lynn Designs creation with you. Today I have a bold card in color but it is still delicate with the flowers and the hummingbird.
For the backing on the lace hummingbird I just mounted the die on some black card stock and then cut out leaving a bit of an edge.
Here is a complete list of the dies used in the project
See you next week

One of Cheery Lynn's latest dies is this step card die and let me tell you, it makes step cards so easy....so fast. It's a must have for every die collection.
The flowers were created with a mixture of various flower dies. The blue flowers were made using the latest flower strip, Gardenia, then I added in the center roses and topped them off with the center from the Black Eyed Susan die. All mixed together to create a fantasy flower.
I can't imagine who wouldn't love to open up this thank you card and cherish it for years to come.
Here is a complete list of dies used on this card:
Remember Cheery Lynn Designs has a Design Team call out right now, so get your handmade flowers on and join in our fun.

It's already that time of year when you start Christmas cards and we've got some adorable new Christmas dies that will make your cards beautiful and easy.
The new Poinsettia strip makes these flowers so quickly. I've just added ink for some coloring had popped them out in no time. I did use the cutie from the Blacked Eyed Susan Strip for the centers and colored them yellow.
Not sure if you can see it or not, but the oval cut out makes a shadow box effect with the use of foam tape. I do so love me some foam tape, LOL.
Here's my listing of all the dies to add to your collection:

I can't stop using the new black eyed susan die...I love it. I'm not sure if I'm more in love with the flowers or that darn cutie that comes with it and makes every flower, well....perfect. I really love the way each die on this card pops all on its own. The small French lattice is stunning, but so is the flower cluster and then it's all pulled together with the Alison's ribbon.
Here is a complete list of all the dies used with a link so you can stock up and start creating yourself.
See you next week,

Life's a Daisy Tutorial

I've seen cupcakes created for quite some time and I finally broke down and made one for myself, and must say I love it. The tutorial for the cupcake was inspired from Miranda Edney's .
For my flowers I used the Daisy Strip Die and colored the base of the flowers with Clear Snap Mixed Media ink , leaving the very tips white. This ink is very opaque and works great for coloring flowers, but be sure to let it dry completely as it has a long dry time.
With a sponge dauber I colored the center of the petals. Pinch each petal with your tweezers. Glue three sizes of flowers together for each flowers and color the tips of the flowers with the Berry Ink too.
Add your flowers to the Styrofoam base using push pins and add leaves throughout the flowers. Finish off each flowers with a pearl
Here is a complete list of dies used to make the adorable cupcake:

Happy Friday everyone. I've had a wonderful start of a long weekend and I've done nothing but craft away, which has been super fun. This is a card I created during my craft jag using the Pixie Guardian die as the centerpiece. I love the delicateness of her, she's beautiful.
I used the angel wing only of the Chasing Rainbow Doily which was the perfect backing for my pixie.
Here is a complete list of all the dies I used on this card.

Summer Bright Card

It's a Cheery Lynn kind of day and I've got the perfect card to kick off this bright and sunny summer day. Today I created this card using Graphic 45's latest collection " Bohemian Bazaar ". It's so darn colorful. I love it and it compliments my flower cluster just perfect.
I created the ruffled edges using Anastasia border. I spritz the cut dies with water very lightly then I pleated into the ribbon shape. I let the borders dry and then adhered them onto the back of the card stock. I love the look. It gives a ton of movement to my project.
Here is a complete list of dies used on this card:
See you next week.

Mystery Flowers?

Hi Cheery Lynn Fans, Lori here with you ! Today I've got a card I created with the focal point being the stunning flowers in the center. I'm not sure what kind of flower they are suppose to be, sunflowers maybe? just pretty that's all I know. I really love the way you can layer Cheery Lynn dies and create something so intricate and stunning in no time.
The paper that I used is from Graphic 45, French Country, so I thought the chicken wire die was a must to use with the paper. Don't you think?
Here is a complete recipe of dies used for this challenge.

Remember to join the fun this month with Cheery Lynn's Summer Blast. The challenge this week is Keeping it Krafty (use Kraft paper). I used Kraft paper for the center of my flowers and also the border in the background, so go get your Cheery Lynn dies and join the fun. You might just win!!!

I'm addicted to Pinterest, it's so much fun and for the most part will eat away your time, LOL. I was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest to create these flowers and I was able to do it so quick with my Cheery Lynn Dies.
I used one of our cutie fringe dies. Once it was cut out, I curled up the fringe to look almost like an eyelash, then I covered my base steam with glue and wrapped the fringe around circling down, and boom I had this show stopping flower.
Here is a complete list of dies that I used for this card so you can stock up and start creating your own flowers.

Happy Friday Cheery Lynn Lovers, Lori here with you today sharing a new card I created this week for you all to enjoy. I love the color combination on this card. It's not one I would think of off the top of my head, but I think it really works beautifully. The paper collection is from KaiserCraft " Marigold" and it's stunning. I think it just lends itself so well to Cheery Lynn's dies.
I think one of the things I love about Cheery Lynn's flowers is the way you can mix and match different types of flower petals and create a whole new flower. It's so much fun.
Here is a complete list of dies used for this card...be sure to stock up.
