Whimsical Ladybug Tag

Hello again! Cherry here with you today with a cute little tag for you featuring some lovely dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I used the cute Whimsical Ladybug die.

I cut it out twice to give it a shadow effect and layered it on the Pierced Stacker 3 dies.

I added some buttons and the Olive Branch 2 piece die set.

From here I just added some ribbons and added Tags for some interest at the bottom. I think this would look cute added to a flower for Mother's Day to carry on the garden theme. Ladybugs are good for the garden! Thanks for visiting, Cherry

Timeless Photograph 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

Today it's my turn again to show you how I used my precious "Cheery Lynn Designs"dies.

This time I made a 8x8 layout again {it's been ages since I did one} using a old picture of my mother in law, she is in her seventies now and on the picture she was just four years old, such a cutie pie...

I ordered some foam from England last week because I saw some lovely flowers made out of them on YouTube...and I have to say I LOVE that stuff. I am hooked now lol.

Timeless Photograph:

I cut out the flower dies times four then I used my heat gun to curl my flowers. This layout came out so easily. For the flower centers I used some stamen and a diamond gem on top of that. These papers I used are from such a thick quality that it's really easy to distress it.

In some of the dies I left the cut out bits and pieces because I really think shabby chic is all about that. The word stickers are inked with white ink and I added a treat underneath the picture. In my flower clusters I added some cheesecloth.

I really adore how much depth the flowers have with the foam & dies I used wow. I am totally going to make more flowers with my Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies on my next projects so keep a close eye on this amazing blog.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

B308 - City Girl Edger

DL102 - French Pastry Doily

DL234 - French Pastry Tiny Doily

DL278 - Horizon Fishtail Banners

B399 - Hinges {set of 8}

B147 - Olive Branches

B129 - Cherry Blossom {set of 2}

SF-6 - Stacker Flower

Other products used: 49 and Market papers & stamps, Paste, Dusty Attic stencil, foam to make the flowers, Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays, word stickers, cheesecloth, treat, steamen, prills, diamond gems, gesso and ink.

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 lovely weekend.

Love You Card with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft. Today I am sharing a love inspired card using several dies that I happen to 'love' from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" brown card base. I backed a piece of pink cardstock with Stick It Adhesive and cut using the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2. I adhered the die cut to a piece of cream cardstock. I then trimmed that to 3-1/2" x 4-3/4". I layered that on to pink cardstock and then brown cardstock leaving a small border on each. Then I added some natural mulberry paper and wet the edges to tear leaving a feathery edge.

I created my Love You Sentiment in the same fashion. Apply Stick It Adhesive to the back of pink cardstock, cut with the Love You die and then adhere to cream cardstock. I then cut a brown base using the Square Pierce & Cut die. This was then backed with natural mulberry paper. I ran a piece of 5/8" Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin topped with 3/8" Sherbet double-faced satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon across the top of the main panel dove-tailing the sherbet ribbon. Then the sentiment panel was attached on top of that.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

B653 Love You Square

FRM154 Quatrfoil A2 Frame 2

LPC-1 Square Pierce & Cut Lge Silver

B147 Olive Branches

B435 Tea Rose Small

B436 Tea Rose Medium

The beautiful roses were created with the small and medium tea rose dies. I used both cream and pink cardstock to build the layers. I inked the cream using wadded wax paper and also inked the edges of both colors for definition. Then the leaves were shaped and the flowers were assemble. The flowers and foliage were added to the card below the sentiment.

The card was finished off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow using Sherbet and Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to pull out your flower dies and create some pretty flowers for your next project. Happy crafting!

Tropical Birthday with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello everyone! I'm here today to share with you my first cascading card made for Cheery Lynn Designs. I have been making some different shaped cards lately. So I wanted to make this cascading card using lots of tropical flowers. It was inspired from patterned paper by K & Company. You will see the patterned paper below.

Lots of "tropical flowers" in hot pink, orange, and yellow. The "olive branches" and "flourishes" were my fillers. The "olive branches" even match the green patterned paper too! I placed small pop dots behind the flowers for a bit more 3D look.

On the top edge I die cut "dancing doily" in white and fussy cut out 6 pieces.

I layered the "dancing doily" on the edge first. Next I placed leaves and flourishes and then placed the flowers on top. The "tropical flower" has 2 pieces, I die cut one in the color and then in white on top.

The sentiment was stamped in black and fussy cut out too.

Here you can see how it is flat for mailing.

Last, but not least...my patterned paper that was my inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today. I'm so excited to share the new release dies with you tomorrow. Make sure to check back here to see all the new January dies as well as some wonderful inspiration from the team! Today I'm sharing a birthday card featuring this pretty dragonfly. He's large and would be perfect for scrapbook pages too. He was cut twice and the one underneath was colored purple. I glued the two bodies together but left the wings separate so the second pair of wings would show. He is covered in glitter glue.

The lattice is half of the Lattice #3 left over from another project. I used it instead of one the doilies I usually use to back my florals. The flowers were made with the Tea Rose Medium die. I colored them with yellow distress inks, shaped them with a molding tool and added rhinestone centers. I used the leaves that are included in the rose die and added a few Olive Branches. The tiny white flowers on the Olive Branches are from the baby breath kit in the Embellishment #2 set. It's my first time playing with them but I love the detail they add to the floral cluster. Last, I cut Happy and Birthday with the same purple paper used for the background layer.

Big Day with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a new card I made using a few dies that are new to me. I love how delicate and intricate this Dutch Daisy Doily Square die is and couldn't wait to play with it.

I first cut the Dutch Daisy Doily Square out of a blue-green paper. I then cut three layers using the French Flair Classic Stackers. I used the largest to cut the kraft card base and then a smaller one to back the phrase created by the On Your, Dream Big and Day words that were cut with the same blue paper used for the Dutch Daisy Doily.

The Sweet Williams Strip flowers were cut out of a cream patterned paper. The edges were colored with blue distress ink and then they were molded using a stylus and molding mat. I stacked and glued them together and then used double sided tape to adhere them to the card front. Last, I tucked in some Olive Branches and my go-to foliage, Flourish Leaf Strip die cuts and glued pearl centers on the flowers.

Heartfelt Wishes Card by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Corina here, I have a Heartfelt Wishes Card to share with you this week.

First, I created the flowers inspired by the pattern paper, then designed the card. I used pewter embossing powder on the flower centers, Tropical Flourish and the sentiment. I embossed the leaves from the Rose Leaf Strip and the Miniature Rose (center of large flower) with holographic embossing powder.

Above is a view of the depth and dimension that creating with the variety of Cheery Lynn Flower dies allow you to achieve. Love it!

This card came together with ease - I have not had such a good, ideas working out, time flies by, relaxing creative night in along time!

The base was created by layering two pattern papers on to a white card base. I covered the seam with a die cut from the Deutschland Border Set. I cut out the Coved Rectangle Classic Stackers in pattern paper and white cardstock. I embossed the white cardstock with my Heartfelt Wishes sentiment. I matted each on a Scalloped Coved Rectangle. I used the Ankara Lace Border on the left hand side of the card and layered my flowers, leaves and flourishes on top.

Dies Used:

Deutschland Border Set (set of 3) - B523

Judy's Blooms - C184

Olive Branches - B147

Miniature Rose - B152

Rose Leaf Strip - B241

Roses of Friendship Card with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello friends, it's Jenny here today with a card inspired by this week's Roses challenge. I cut and and assembled the Medium Tea Roses and then actually created everything else from there. I love the ombre cards I've seen and decided to incorporate some of that into my card using the Ankara Lace Border die and stacking each different yellow layer.

I cut the blue background layer once with the Curved Border die and then cut the patterned paper three times to get the fancy edge and the dot pattern. The stack of Ankara Lace Borders was glued to the card and then I cut the edge off the Ankara Doily and tucked it under the edge of the stacked borders. The sentiment layer was cut using the new Pierced Stacker #4 and adhered with foam tape.

I colored the the roses to match the other colors in the card using distress ink and a foam dauber. I added some white Olive Branches and blue Add a Flourish flourishes to the floral spray and finished by adding the two butterflies from the Small Exotic Butterflies die.

In One Yesterday Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello, Corina here with you today to host the blog!

For todays card, I decided to play with my new Mirror Mirror Doily Frame die and the Stacker Flower 5 die. - I used a turquoise pattern paper, white cardstock, a little turquoise ink and of course my Cheery Lynn Dies to create this card.

I layered the background using a die from the A2 Frames Rectangular Classic to die cut a turquoise pattern paper panel and white cardstock panel. I distressed the edges and adhered them on to my white cardstock base. The Mirror Mirror Doily Frame went on next.

I stamped my sentiment with black ink on to the Sentiment Tag 2 (Set of 3) and layered it upon a turquoise die cut from the same set - one size larger. Then pop-dotted to the center of the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame.

To form my floral arrangement, I used the two layers of the Stacker Flower 5 and then the Shasta Daisy on top. Tucked in a mix of foliage die cuts with some flourishes from the center of the Celtic Oval Frame die.

Added Rhinestones to finish it off!

Dies Used:

Shasta Daisy - B310

Stacker Flower 5 - SF-5

Spring Birthday Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Corina here with you all, to host the blog and share this weeks card creation. As you may notice, my card is all about Spring! Flowers, twigs and foliage!

I used a piece of thin Cork and die cut it with the French Flair Classic Stackers and the Adaptor Plate. The Cork cut out very easily - one run thru my die cut machine! I then cut my pattern paper with a smaller French Flair Classic Stacker from the same set.

I layered these on a piece of pattern paper, which I rounded both top and bottom right side corners.

I used the Old Barn Board as a base for my Sentiment. I added the foliage before I adhered my Sentiment to give depth by layering. I also added three pink rhinestones to draw your eye to the sentiment.

The small dragonfly from the Tiny Things with Wings set was inked with blue and only glued in the middle (body) so I could lift the wings up for dimension.

I created three large flowers, four small flowers, and two rose buds. I chose pink and blue hues to compliment the background pattern paper.

I also used the Dandelions, twigs and various foliage to fill in my floral arrangement. Rhinestones were added to the center of each flower.

Dies Used:

Birthday (Set of 2) - B231

French Flair Classic - Silver Stackers - L-12

Old Barn Board (3 Dies) - B439

Tiny Things with Wings - B266
