Hi everyone!  It's Holly, your February guest designer, posting today.  Happy Valentine's Day!  I needed a masculine Valentine's card to give to my sweetie, so I pulled out my Cheery Lynn Designs dies to see what I could come up with.  Obviously, since I wanted it to be more masculine, I didn't add a lot of frills and flowers.  I kept this card sweet and simple by using these dies:

Celtic Heart
Sophia's Heart Border
Alison's Ribbons
Hugs Mix and Match
Coved Rectangle - Classic LG Stackers

I inlaid the die cut pieces of the inside of the heart.  Because the background is so busy, I wanted the Hugs to stand out.  Look at the Hugs sentiment.  Can you see the shadowing there?  I cut it out twice - once from dark brown paper and once from vanilla paper.  I glued the vanilla Hugs on top of the dark brown Hugs, slightly offsetting the letters.  That's how you get a subtle shadow effect.  For the corners, I cut the pieces from the Sophia's Heart Border - they fit beautifully in the corners of the Coved Rectangles.

Thanks for visiting me here at the Cheery Lynn Designs blog.  Come on back next Friday - I can't wait to show you what I created!!  I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Sandy here with you today and I have created a cute Christmas Step Card.  I love how quick you can make one of these with the use of Cheery Lynn Designs Step Card die.  I mean, it not only cuts and scores the card base, you can also cut out the perfect panels for both inside and out!  To embellish my card, I used my Alison's Ribbons set, so many combinations to make perfectly matching paper ribbon.  Behind my image I added a Rum Punch Doily.  Using my Circle Stackers, I cut the center out of the doily, added some texture with my Circle Stitcher Plate and then put the circle back into the doily.  I used dimensionals to raise the image above the doily.


Finished size is 5 5/8" square, perfect for a 6" square envelope.  You can see the lovely DP panel I die cut for the inside of my card.

Hi and Good Morning :)  Alison here again today, sharing this weeks card inspired some more gorgeous and easy to use Cheery Lynn Designs Dies.

Now wasnt this picture was taken in the last of the summer rays today ? lol  :)   

I started off using a blank 6 x 6 card base, and layered white american crafts cardstock with some scraps of lilac paper.  This cardstock  was used for all the die cuts, and it cuts like a dream.

I then created my background using the elegant  Daisy Lace Frame, and edged it with the Lady Kate Edger.  I then stuck down 2 strips from Alisons Ribbons to conceal the join.  I coloured my image with PM's and glittered the wings, and matted onto oval stackers and scalloped oval stackers.

I made the lovely sweet flowers using the  Daisy Strip die (my favourite flower die ever!) and secured with pearl and glitter brads.  The pretty dragonfly and olive branch leaves were added as a finishing touch, along with some white pearls.

All dies used on this card are:

FRM118 - Daisy Lace Frame
B278 - Lady Kate Edger
B335 - Alisons Ribbons
B259 - Daisy Strip
DL152 - Dragonfly
B147 - Olive branches
L-7 - Oval Stackers
XL - 8 Scalloped Oval

Thanks so much for visiting our blog today, and I hope to see some fabulous entries in our Halloween Challenge this week.

I started with this great stamp, Adirondack Chair, stamping it onto Cryogen Metallic card stock and coloring with my Copics.  I found a piece of denim that I use for patches so I trimmed it down and then machine sewed both it and my background paper to my card stock.  Now that wasn't so hard, lol!  I frayed the top and bottom edges of the denim just a bit.  Next I added a few Cheery Lynn Designs dies: Gauze Border, Fanciful Flourish and flowers created with Embellishments #3.  For the final touches, I air brushed some gems to match and then added Stickles to the centers of the flowers.  Finished size is 5 3/8" square.

Hi and Good Morning everyone :)  Alison here today sharing a card I made using some of the gorgeous new release dies and my favourite 'Alison's Ribbons'! :)

I started off with a 6 x 6" blank card base and layered american crafts cardstock and K&Co papers.  I created the side panel by adding the oh so pretty Ankara Lace Border to each side, and then adding some gorgeous flourishes, butterflies and flowers.

I made the  ribbon border using scraps of left over card and paper and attached to the side.  I coloured my main image and matted and layered using circle stacker and scalloped dies, and then placed it on top of the stunning  Priscilla Doily.

For a finishing touch I added the Hello sentiment, and some grey blue pearls from stash.

Have a smashing week,

I can't stop using the new black eyed susan die...I love it.  I'm not sure if I'm more in love with the flowers or that darn cutie that comes with it and makes every flower, well....perfect.  I really love the way each die on this card pops all on its own.  The small French lattice is stunning, but so is the flower cluster and then it's all pulled together with the Alison's ribbon. 

 The secret is out! Cheery Lynn Designs has a new release - we've already told you that we are premiering  our Steampunk line, but we've also added Halloween, Christmas, new Doily Stackers and of course flowers! CLD fans have been wanting these new dies so much, that we decided to go ahead and jump schedule and release these fabulous dies early!
