Love You by Julie Lavalette

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing with you a card using our fabulous new word die - Love You. I gave my card a Masculine touch, hopefully to inspire you, as I know we all struggle when it comes to thinking what design to make for a male, but changing the colours and adding a flower would equally give this design a feminine look.

I used several of my Stacker dies to build my layers and with it coming close to the Festive season I just had to add some Platinum Stickles for an accent of bling.

My Ink bottle was coloured with a Copic Pen and I wrote the work Ink on it. My Feather I inked the edges and ruffled the sides for a realistic look.

I fussy cut a heart shape to place behind my heart doily and gave my word - Hugs a shadow effect.

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Nature Themed Dies with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Greetings and happy Thursday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

For today's project I mixed a few of our nature themed dies (Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath, Cattails and Reeds and Quill and Ink Pot) together with our pretty Lilith Edger and Dutch Daisy boutique stacker frames to mix things up a little bit. I think it takes on a soft and romantic feel.

I started with a base white A2 cardstock background, then added the Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker Frame to it. Next, I cut a Cardmaker's Rectangle Scalloped, then used the Lilith Doily Edger on one side. Next, I cut the Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath and the Horizon Fishtail Banners.

The medium Horizon Fishtail Banner is a bit long for the card, so I cut a little bit from the middle and adhered behind my pink Scalloped Rectangle and Edger cut layer. I cut the Coved Rectangle and adhered behind the pink Scalloped Rectangle.

I used the Quills and tucked them under the banners, then the Princess Tree was layered as well and tacked down with the flowers arranged on top. Here you can see the dimension of the Sweet Williams and Darling Daisies. The Tiny Fanciful Flourishes are tucked in under either side of the flowers.

Patriotic Page with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Greetings and welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs blog! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog.

I made a patriotic page today featuring a photo of Mt. Rushmore that I took when we were on vacation this summer. There was something so patriotic and majestic about seeing the monument in person.

I started with an 8x8 piece of white cardstock and used Fancy Corners #4 on the corners. Next, I used the Scalloped Rectangle and aligned it to cut a 7x7" square. (This is one of the Reflections Boutique dies.) At the top I used a Victorian Romance Flourish as a hanger type of element in between my layers. Lace Heart Square is next.

I had some pieces left from my project last week, so you will see the Foliage Embossed white cardstock and French Lattice on top, tucked under the Southern Charm Valance on the right.

To anchor my photo I used the Polynesian Sails Oval, then layered a medium Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker with foam squares. The photo is then attached with foam squares. This gives me a lot of area to layer my cuts. On the bottom you'll see a snip of Sophia's Heart Border, another piece left over from a previous project.

Layered on the right are the Quills and a Wheat cluster, topped with the Star and Birds of Earth and Sky. To the left of that is a Branch. There are Cloud cuts layered under the photo and one attached with foam squares.

Fancy Corner Cuts #4 - B431

A Fun Purse with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Happy Monday crafty friends! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

Over the weekend we had some out of town friends come to visit. It was pretty fun to see their little girls play and how much they enjoy their purses and dolls, etc.

I recently received the circle scalloped stacker dies and remembered this very cute idea that Jodi had shared a while back here on one of her amazing pages.

Do you see that cute little blue purse?

I thought it might be fun to try and create a shaped purse card.

I started with the largest Scalloped Circle Stacker, then layered it with a plain Circle Stacker. I trimmed the bottom flat. Next, I added the Lattice Valance Border and trimmed it to fit. I cut a few quills and tucked them in as well as a bit of the ivy corner flourish.

Here I've used the Cuties 1, 3 and 4 and some ivy strip leaves.

The lace corner deco d seemed like a nice clasp for the top.

To attach the pieces, I just used some washi tape. I could have also stitched it, but it wouldn't have opened up so nice and flat. This was really a fun project to do! The stackers made it super easy to layer and get such a pretty look!

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

Circle Scalloped LG Stackers - XL5

Circle Classic Silver Stackers - L4 (interior layer)

Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL272

XM Scalloped Oval Stacker - XM8

Oval Stackers - XM7

Quill and Ink Pot - B369

Ivy Corner Flourish - B335

Lattice Valance Border - B406

Lace Corner Deco D - B164

We would love to have you join us for our new Challenge 125 "Celebrate"! You could be the happy winner of a $20 shopping spree in the Cheery Lynn Designs online store!!! Who couldn't use that?!!!

Thank so much to Jodi for her inspiration and for stopping on over to the blog today!

Pink Flowers with Feather

Holly 3:00 AM 7 Comments

Hi everyone! My name is Holly Brown, and I am thrilled to be the guest designer for Cheery Lynn Designs this month. I fell in love with Cheery Lynn Designs when I saw their dies a couple years ago, and I have had so much fun building up my collection and playing with all the different dies.

That's exactly what I did for this card today. I just pulled out some dies and started cutting. After mixing and matching and moving things around, I ended up with this. The tiny pink flowers on the sides are from one die - Cuties 3. I cut some of the Cuties 3 strips in half and rolled them up. I left the top two rolled up and didn't pull the petals out. The next two are the same thing except I pulled some of the petals out. The two at the bottom are the whole Cuties 3 strips with the petals partially pulled out.

I used the following dies on this card:

Chrysanthemum Strip

Cuties 3

Ivy Strip

Polynesian Sails Oval

Polynesian Sails Angel Wing

Quill and Ink Pot

Tiny Things with Wings

Wreath Strip

Thanks for stopping by to visit! I'll be back next Friday with another creation to share with you. Enjoy your weekend!
