Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs lovers,
Kianel here with you today. You know that i like to challenge myself so today my challenge was to use many layers, use reflection die to make a label/tag and to use color combo peach + sage green.
So on the card today, i played with my reflection dies to build the different layers and label and i thought i would show you how to make pretty cool newspaper rolls (?) with them too. (Click on the pictures to see them bigger).


The base of the card is made using the Horizon coved rectangle mega doily (largest size) that i flipped in two to get a cool card shape. I inked a bit and then used the inside of the die to get the perfect size to cut my green patterned paper. That's it for the 1st layer.


Second layer is made using the Mini pearl circle mega doily cut in white cardstock. I didn't use the entire shape, just a little more that half of it. I then used a XL circle stackers to cut my peach patterned paper a bit smaller and sewed a piece of small lace around.


Third layer is made using 2 pieces of the Bunny and chick border that i put on each side of the blue patterned paper.

 So here you have your 4 layers using reflection dies. Now, for the decoration, i used the darling daisies that i slightly painted with Creative Inspirations paints and Flourish leaf strip which is one of my favourite dies, also painted.


Now, for the newspapers rolls, here is an easy way to do them using the smallest size of the Mini pearl rectangle mega doily that you can shorten in both directions.  Cut out several pieces of a book page with the reflection die and try to vary the sizes.


Ink your papers and roll around a pick. Just remember to place the scalloped edge last so that the design shows.



All dies are from Cheery Lynn Designs, papers are Graphic 45, stamps are Magnolia and Infiniment scrap, inks are Versafine and Gistress, paints are Creative inspirations paints.
I know i received a lot of questions about how to make a flower with the corner dies so i am preparing a tutorial for you but i just need time, lol!

Well, as you can see I played with my Cheery Lynn Designs Build a Flower die set to decorate this basket that I created with my Scalloped Coved Rectangle Stackers dies.  I added texture to the basket with my Large Rectangle Stitcher Plate.  Using my Oval Stackers and Scalloped Oval Stackers I die cut the brown frame to which I added my  Lattice 2 die.  I added a white panel behind this which I also textured with my Stitcher plate.  Next came the flowers.  The large flowers on the left are made with the Build a Flower petals with stamen centers.  The flowers on the right are made with the flower base as well as stamens.  I added some Flourish Leaf Strips as well as leaves from the Dimensional Leaves Large 2 set. 


Here is another card where I have paired my flowers with the Spring Flower Burst Doily.  Using my Horizon Coved Rectangle Mega Doily dies, I created the panel behind the doily as well as the center panel behind the sentiment (cut with Scalloped Circle Little Stackers dies).  Finished size is 6" square.

 Isn't this a great design? I just love how this card turned out, and the dies I used to create with.
 Screen Door w/Cat
 Cathedral Lace Frame
 Judy's Blooms
 Medium Rose

 I used some fun designer papers and made this layered flower, I have been loving all the floral designs my fellow design team members have been sharing.
Do you see how I used the lace frame as the screen for the door? I love how it turned out- this came by accident while I was cutting the dies.I just laid the pieces in a pile and picked these up together.
The sentiment is from a CTMH stamp set, the papers are from DCWV and my stash.
 So I have a second design with a window- this is one of the newest die that were just released
Window die
Burble / Cheese Cloth Texture Embossing Plate
 Lace Flourish Letter F
Deco Corner
 I decided to make a Fashion card design using a New York fashion lady this is a great paper design from DCWV. That beautiful rich ribbon is from really reasonable Ribbon. This is a quick card for me but such a fun one... I have had several of my  followers ask me to share a few easy designs using dies...and can be used with many type papers or a stamped design in the inside. I could also see some flowers in the window.
Thanks for stopping by today, hope to see you play along with us this week- you could be our winner.

Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs lovers,
Kianel here with you today to show you my last card made with Cheery Lynn designs.
This week i challenged myself again with new things for me: new shape i never tested before, new color combo (grey + pink), no character stamp, no flourish,one flower only. I like that, it's very fun to do!!
I tried to use several layers and decided to go for a self made background.
 The base of the card is made using the Oval lace Mega Doily from the Reflections Boutique. I took the biggest size of the set and flipped it in two. I then cut one layer of cardstock i inked in dark pink to place under so the design of the outside border would show off (i used the ourside of the die as a template).  Using the inside of the die as a template, i cut a piece of white paper to go inside my oval. Using two different shades of pink ink and clear embossing powder i made my background.
 The big flower is made with the Build a flower set #1. some petals are coloured with inks and paints and some are cut from grey cardstock.
 Using the Cardmakers nesting dies rectangle and the rectangle scalloped i used several layers for my main picture. I added the Anastasia border and some lace to close the card.
The cardstock i used is from Bazzill, the stamps are from Great Impressions, all dies from Cheery Lynn designs, inks from Ranger, clear embossing powder and shimmer paints from Creative Inspirations paints, lace and flower from my personnal stash.
Hope you will like it and try to challenge yourself with Cheery Lynn Designs dies, it's very fun and you have plenty of possibilities!

Lots of love from France, Kianel.

One of the new release dies from Cheery Lynn Designs is called Build a Flower 1.  I have used it to make the flowers on my card today.  To begin, I die cut the flower petals as well as a bunch of stamens.


Before assembling my large flower, I wrapped each petal around the end of a small paint brush handle.  From the tip of the petal I rolled under; from the end with the brad hole, I rolled up.  I cut a variety of stamens; I think I used them all except one of the middle size.  I added a bit of ink to the ends of the stamens for some contrast.  Then I stacked them all on a brad being sure to stagger each layer so they did not line up.  I created the smaller flower in the corner from only the stamens as well as the flower base pieces.  I curled the bottom 2 layers down and the rest of the layers up.


As a backdrop for my large flower, I die cut a Spring Flower Burst Doily with coordinating Angel Wing.  I added some Viva Decor Pearl pen accents to tie in the flower stamen color.  I then cut the fabulous new Flourish Leaf Strip; check out the detailing on these leaves, incredible!  The really great thing about this die is you get 5 separate leaf sections.  You can use them alone or build a vine as I did.  I added some Distress ink to the edges of each leaf.  I thought the corner pieces from the Lace Corner Deco B set went quite well with the doily, just the right embellishment.  I added a sentiment panel cut from my Scallop Circle Little Stacker dies.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

Good morning Cheery Lynn fans! Today I want to share something a little different.  Everyday I throw away plastic packaging and started thinking there has to be a way to use this.  I thought I'd experiment with my Cheery Lynn Dies and I was ecstatic to learn that they worked perfect for my little venture!
First I'll share my layout and then tell you what I did.
To start I used my Spring Flower Burst Doily on the background. Next I used my Cherry Blossom die to cut the small flowers from the plastic and Stacker Flower 2 for the background flower. (you will have to go over them a couple of times with your machine)I used my leaf die to cut the leaves from the plastic also.

Now to color the flowers and leaves I used Alcohol Inks.  I then added a brad to the center of the flowers to hold them together and adhered then to my layout.Next I took my heat gun and a skewer and heated then up a little and shaped them. I added the leaves and the Fanciful Flourishes to finish the layout.

I look at plastic packaging in a different light these days.  I've started a small stash of plastic and I now know that my Cheery Lynn Dies are perfect for cutting out a different kind of embellishment for my layouts!!
