Little Reflection box - Kianel

9:31 AM 10 Comments
Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs friends,
Kianel with you today to show you a little box i made using Cheery Lynn designs reflection dies.

 I used the Mini pearl square mega doily die set to build the box. For the lid i used the one that measures 13cm so i could have a 2 cm height on each side. For the box base i needed a higher side so i used the die measuring 18,5cm.
 The finished box measures 11x11cm and is 3,75cm high. Little enough to be cute and big enough to have lovely presents inside.
 The die gave me a cute border all along my box base and box lid. I love that, so clever! I then decorated each side with paper from Magnolia.
 I then built several layers using Little circle stackers combined with the Mini pearl circle mega doily. The stamp is from Florilège design (french company and means "you").
 I also used the One free wish die, but divided it in two parts to fit my box. You always have many possibilities with just one Cheery Lynn die, that's why they are such a great investment! I placed the moon part of the die around my different layers. Beautiful design! I also added some leaves from the Flourish leaf strip die.
The other part of the die, i used for itself and slightly inked and covered with Creative Inspirations paints and on 3d pads.
 The flower i made with a stamen bucket i had and several  Lace corner deco D and added the Flourish leaf strip too.
I hope you will like this little box and i also would like to remind you to join us on our weekly challenge as you have the chance to win shopping sprees and also a Big Shot.
Love from France, Kianel.

Red, White & Blue Challenge and our Weekly Spotlight Top 3!

3:30 AM 7 Comments
Hi and Good Morning everyone.

Wow! We had some wonderful entries to our 'Roses' challenge last week and so many to choose from it was really hard to pick just a Top 3, but this week we liked seeing (in order of entry):


Well done ladies, it was a pleasure visiting your blogs and seeing your fabulous creations! :) Please contact us for your Weekly Spotlight Badge to display on your blog.


Now for my card inspired by our new challenge theme this week of 'Red, White & Blue'.

I have often struggled with this colour combination until very recently, when I realised you dont have to go for the bright primary shades of Red & Blue, you can go for softer or darker shades which can compliment each other really well, so now I am quite a fan!

I hand stitched MME papers onto white bazzil card, separating them with the gorgeous Lace Light Deco Border which I then attached to a 6 x 6 inch square card.  

I cut out 2 of the largest hearts in the Heart to Heart Doily set.  These are beautiful and intricate dies, and they cut so well I was delighted with the results.   The largest die was used to cut white bazzill card and the 2nd largest die was used on MME paper which I backed with another contrasting sheet to give it extra depth. 

The centrepiece is the beautiful One Free Wish die, cut also on white bazzil card and the stars were cut out of just one of the accessories in the Build a Flower set.  I made the sentiment panel using the smallest of the Two of Hearts cut 3 times in card and paper and trimmed the edges off the offset heart.  This was quite a quick card to make, and I kept it quite simple as the dies really do all the work on this! :)

I hope we see lots of entries again this week, and dont forget our monthly prize is being drawn at the end of June for one lucky entrant to win a Big Shot Die Cut Machine.  The winner will be announced on July 2nd.

You have until Sunday to join in, so still plenty of time to enter and dont forget there is also daily inspiration from the rest of the talented DT over on our Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration blog.

I hope everyone has a smashing week and thanks so much for visiting today

Balloon Fest Layout

3:30 AM 10 Comments

For my Cheery Lynn Designs post today, I decided to step way out of my comfort zone and try a 12 x 12 inch scrap book page.  The hard part was finding subject matter; I have no family but thought this great photo from the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest a few years ago might work.  At the end of the evening as the sun goes down, the balloons inflate but stay on the ground and do a glow.  It is so beautiful to see 20 or more balloons with their colors all aglow!  I decided to approach my page as if it were just a really big card.  I chose this great designer paper from The Paper Loft in keeping with this week's Red, White and Blue challenge.   Be sure to check it out, we are giving away a Big Shot at the end of the month in addition to the weekly prize. 


Here is a closeup of the flowers.  I stacked Stamens from the Build a Flower set on top of Judy's Blooms on top of Stacker Flower 4.  I like how my team members have been curling the petals up rather than down; it makes for a lovely flower. 
Dies used:
That is it for me today, be sure to hop over to the Challenge blog to see who was voted last weeks Top 3 Spotlight Winners and to see what Alison has created for you.  Have a great day and thank you for your support of Cheery Lynn Designs.

Got Ice Cream?

3:30 AM 6 Comments
Good morning Cheery Lynn fans!   Who doesn't love Ice Cream...I can tell you my grand daughter Belle adores it!  The more stuff she can add to it the more she loves it!  I thought I'd share a 12x12 layout with you with a photo of her eating her favorite treat!

I made the flowers with a couple of different dies.  To create the flower and leaves I used Judy's Blooms and to create the centers I used Build a Flower #1. I made the border with the Pennant Die.

  The doily is made from the French Pastry Doily.

 Be sure to check out the Challenge blog for the Red White and Blue Challenge...just in time for the 4th of July!!T  Don't forget that  all entries this month will be entered to win a Big Shot Die Cut Machine!

Thanks for stopping by the Cheery Lynn blog!!
