Surf Shop With Lisa Blastick

Hi! Today I have to share this super fun 3D Surf Shop that I made using Cheery Lynn Designs Dies.

The shop is custom made out of cardstock and embossed. The dimensions are 4 x 5 inches and adding another inch to the sides for the peak. I cut the window out using the second smallest of the rectangles and then die cut the 2nd and 3rd smallest for the window frame in the front and the back.

Here on the side, I used the smallest die from the circle and then I placed the life savor in white and green over the opening. Of course I need some palm trees and a bit of grass on the bottom.

Here is the back view. It is hard to see but all the waves are layered 3 times, so it appears to look the same as it does in the front.

Here is the opposite side of the surf shop. I basically kept them the same.

The top of the shop using surf boards and tropical flowers. I cut strips to look like straw by fussy cutting every .25 inch, then I used my flower maker to curve the ends up for a tiki roof.

I closer view of the waves, seahorse, beach chair and beach ball.

The other side showing the surf board layered with a cut seahorse on top.

The bottom sea shells and starfish are flat in the ocean.

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:

B646 Surf's Up Set

CM5 A2 Frames Rectangle

B279 Sand and Dollar Fish

L-4 Circle Classic Silver Stackers Layers

I hope you enjoyed this 3D project! I sure had a fun time making it and now off to the beach! JK

Dream with Lisa Blastick

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today, I wanted to make a beach card for Cheery Lynn Designs. I recently was in Mexico on the beach and I truly love the sound of the waves. So, I'm dreaming that I want be back on the beach today. I used "wave edger", "sand dollar and starfish", and "seahorse" with some "clouds" dies. I stamped some seagulls to give a more beach feeling with the sentiment Dream. It is my serenity.

The beautiful "alpine flourish doily" is so whimsical. It seemed perfect for my Dream!

There are pop dots under several dies to finished this 4 x 5 inch card.

Nautical Tag by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello! Jenny here with you today with my take on this week's Doilies Challenge. I love this Nautical Doily. It's always a show stopper on cards. I decided to go with a nautical theme and my tag evolved from there.

I began by cutting an oval from the Oval Classic Silver Stackers. I sponged distress ink on the background and left the die cut in the die so I'd get a white edge. I then distressed the outer edge with some brown distress ink.

I cut the Sand Dollars and Starfish and colored them with distress ink as well. It's difficult to see but the Ships Anchor was actually covered in silver embossing powder and is metallic. The Ship's Compass (one of my favorite dies) is so detailed. It didn't need much to embellish it but I again colored it with distress ink.

To top everything off I used a seahorse left over from another project. It's one of the three dies in the Seahorse Family. Like the sand dollars and starfish he was originally cut with kraft card stock but was colored with blue, green and brown distress inks. To finish I cut a hole with a hole punch and tied twine to the top.

Seahorses and Bling

xxxtglxxx 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi and Good Morning Everyone! :) Alison here today, and this is my first time posting on the Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration Blog! I was previously found hiding over on the challenge blog, but its such a thrill to be able to now share my designs with you here!

For my card today I wanted to show the versatility and diversity of Cheery Lynn Dies, taking the Seahorse Family as my inspiration and mixing them with some new release dies and older dies too.

I started off with a 6 x 6 inch blank kraft card base, and layered up MME paper and DCWV aqua card. I ripped the second sheet of paper to reveal the Tolkien quote underneath, and then set about adding some really cool dies.

I used the gauze border die to create a fish-net border, and inked the edges with Walnut DI. I added 2 Tropical flourishes and also 2 mini fanciful flourish dies before layering my sea-horses, coral and picture. I made the flower using the Chrysanthemum Strip (I love these floral strips) and a mini flower from the BAF embellishment set.

I have to say, I LOVE those seahorses! You get 3 in a set, all different sizes and designs, and they cut brilliantly!

My finishing touches were charms, pearls, brads, twine and the wee crayfish was created by me.

All dies used on this card are:

B267 - Seahorse Family

B305 - Gauze Border

B311 - Chrysanthemum Strip

B127 - Tropical Flourish

B117S - Mini Fanciful Flourish

B291 - Fanciful Flourish Right

B181A - Embellishment #1 - Mini Flower

B188 - Embellishment #2 - Coral Twig

B216 - Wreath Strip

CM-2 - Card Maker Rectangle Scalloped
