Hello to everyone!!!!
Happy Wednesday to all !!! Before I begin with my work, I want to tell you that this will be my last post for Cheery Lynn designs. It has been  a happy journey at the Cheery Lynn blog. I got to know so many new friends and the oppurtunity to create lovely projects with the CLD dies. The love and appreciation that I got here cannot be measured in words. So please keep visiting my blog and continue to shower me with your good words.
Now , here as my last project, I have made a tag for you, adorned with flowers. These are mainly cornflowers and I love these blue blooms. With them are lots of pink shasta daisy buds.  I have shaded the corn flower petals with copics. The base of doily gives it a delicate effect. The complete list is given below. Do leave a comment and let me know how you like it.

Hello to all,
It's Wednesday today and that means it is Cheery Lynn time. Today I bring to you a favourite card shape that I make quite often ...Stepper card. I love this shape as it gives me enough scope to incorporate various layers at different level giving it a 3D look. Plus , since there are no cuts in this card, i.e,  I can make this in any measurements without racking my brains as to how to adjust measurements. I have used a beautiful doily -Sophia's Heart and on that I have made daisies made from the Daisy strip die . The paper is from stash and I have scored thin lines on it on my scoreboard and distressed it with Brushed corduroy distress ink to add some texture. The rest of the materials used are listed below.
The materials used are as follows

Sophia's Heart Doily-DL184
Dancing Doily Lace Border DL 134
Daisy strip B259
Rose leaf strip B241
Leaves from Build a Flower#3=B264

Hello dear crafters,
I am Anita here with a very nice shiny and sparkly card for which compliments the festive season so well. I really love these lacy intricate dies with cheery lynn that imparts so much richness to my projects.
My card here is 6x6 inches and I have kept it really quick and simple keeping in mind that it can be made in bulk if needed. I have used silver mirror paper to give the shine and for the sparkle, I have heat embossed the flower and leaves and also the inner square doily die with glitter embossing powder.  The sentiment tag in the middle is again made sparkly by adding glossy accents and covering it with distress glitter rock candy.  The overall effect is so glittery.

The list of dies used:

Historic Barcelona Square boutique stacker frame (set of 3)
Royal scandinavian doily set of 2
sentiment tag 2 (set of 3)  B425
Poinsettia strip B324
Build a flower #3 B264
sentiment from Unity stamp
distress glitter rock candy
glossy accents
ranger holographic embossing powder silver and gold.

Hello dear friends. ..

Today it's my turn to bring some inspiration for you using my favourite Cheery lynn dies.  The die that I will feature today is my most favourite one cos it is all in in! !
Confused! !!! Well , you can decide yourself after you see this die!! This is the New Release Die from October---Say What -a set of 16 dies


This die includes all the shapes and design one needs to create for their cards.
So for my card here , I have used the cloud shape as a stencil and have created a cloudy effect with tumbled glass distress ink. Then I cut the shapes of clouds and while the shape is still in the die, I inked it with blue
distress ink. Now I created the cloud scene on top. Then I have used the speech bubble die to add some sentiment.
The stamped image is coloured with distress inks. The flowers are again tiny die cut shapes coloured with copics. So this is my happy card for you.

 The List of Supplies-
Say what-a set of 16 dies
Embellishment #3-B265
stamp-Lili of the Valley, Magnolia, Unity stamps
Glossy Accents
Copic colours and Distress inks

Hello Everyone,
I am back again with my weekly Wednesday post and today I bring to you a step by step tutorial on how to add that extra wow factor to your die cuts.
This is a picture heavy post as I have tried to show you each and every step. If I have missed anything on the way , please feel free to ask me.
 Please follow the instructions with each picture.
The list of supplies is given at the end of the post.
 These are the die cuts that we will need. I cut my die cuts in white so that I can colour and alter their look the way I want.

                       Cut the sides of the Fiona's magic mirror die cut with your scissors as shown.
 Place the daisy lace frame on the cut tag and carefully mark out the edges to cut and fit the tag we have cut earlier.






                               Apply foam dots at the back of the pieces that has to be popped up.
                         This is how the finished tags look like after all the elements have been placed.

Autumn is its best in some parts while winter is setting its feet in some parts of the world. We are still basking in the glory of bright autumn colours. I just love these rich shades and the the sound of dry leaves that appear to be like music. Nature is so beautiful in Autumn. So here I bring today not one but two cards featuring the colours of Autumn. Two because .... I have used the same die in two ways and I wanted to show you how a negative of a die can be used as a stencil to make amazing backgrounds. This happened when , I just could not find the right shade of patterned paper for my card and then , this idea came in.

For the first card, I have cut the leaves and then distressed it with peeled paint, gathered twigs and rusty hinge. Then I applied mod podge dimentional magic and covered it with Rangers distress glitter all over it and left it to dry for a few hours. Then I put it on the card using the foam tape to give a pop up effect. Did you see the glittery shine on the leaves. I think they look so beautiful.

Hello to all!!!!
Can you fill the chill in the air????? I know down there in the west , it must have become very cold but here in the India, the winters is just a few days away, but the chill can be felt in the air and I love this weather. More so because, it brings the festivities and the wedding season in India. Winter weddings are great events here.


  So I bring to you a wedding card featuring the new release die-I DO.....Now you must be wondering whats so new about it. Its very similar to our popular wedding vows die!!! But here lies the difference !!! If you look closely, this die just has the couple...nothing intricate around it, but the hair and the dress of the bride and the groom has all the delicate cuts to give to that beautiful look.

A big hello to all....
Hi,  Its Anita here for weekly wednesday post. Once again , I'm bringing to you a new release die from Cheery Lynn. This month, a whole new range of intricate dies have been released and yes !!! they are so versatile.  The doily dies are divided into two parts and can be mix and matched and even used with other dies.



For my card, I cut out a hinged front from the Heart French Flair Boutique stacker frames from black card stock. I cut another piece in white and layered it inside the card after distressing it with evergreen bough distress ink. Then I cut medium piece from the second stacker frame and layered in the front again .  This I kept white in order to high light the new doily die.  Then I cut a circle in black placed on top of the new circle doily. On this, I placed the smallest part of the stacker frame.Then I put the second centre portion of the doily.  This I distressed with Ever green bough  Here, I have put some pearls to decorate the centre.  The flowers are cut and made from the Judy's Blooms die. I have coloured the flowers and leaves from Distress inks.

Hello to all!!!!

Today I bring to you a very simple card that highlights the new release doily dies.  The beauty of this card lies in the simple use of doilies with a square design. Yes!!!!! these are square shaped doilies. and it has detachable centre that can be used on paper to cut out individual mini doilies or even create a tile like pattern that I have done in my card here,

For my card , I have cut out two pieces of Royal Scandinavian Square doily and placed both together as shown. Before that , I distressed the centre of one die cut with distress inks.
For the tile pattern below, I placed the centre small square piece on a card stock, adhered it with scotch tape and cut through my die cut machine. Then I placed that same die next to this cut pattern and run through the machine again. This I repeated again to get this pattern.
Some ribbon and a simple sentiment and there you are !!! A card with such intricate cut work can be made in minutes. That is the beauty of these dies. They make simple cards look elegant.
So do have a look and enjoy the intricate details of this beautiful die.

HELLO !!!!
A very very haunting happy halloween to all of you. The concept of Halloween is very new to me as in India this is not very popular but I browsed through the net and saw all those scary cards with ghosts and and just had the most amusing card. So in a way, this is my first halloween card and I hope I have done the right job.
In this card, I have created the background with spider webs and masking and stamping. The die cuts are theme based and yes  !!! the look so spooky !!! I simply love dthe little owl in the top left corner. Isn't he sweet and that crow in that twiggy wreath. !!!! These dies are just awesome. But my job is incomplete without flowers so I just added a few orange toned flowers made from the Baby breath die. I do hope it is apt for halloween.
