Snappy Birthday! with Lisa Blastick

Hello! Welcome back to another fun card using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts! I felt like making a birthday card since today is my birthday. I also thought about making this card for a friend that I know that happens to have his birthday today too. Only problem is he is 20 years younger....

I used an oval for my water, cat tails, reeds, wood, and clouds. Plus the fabulous crocodiles with tiny pearls on their back, nose and eye. Little white dots were dabbed on the cat tail. There is a bit of gloss on the raindrops. I wasn't thinking sad birthday but I wanted to add some extra blue on the card. There is grass on the inside.

The sentiment was printed on my computer.

Cheery Lynn Designs Used:

B795 Crocodiles

B797 Whimsical Sun and Clouds

B389 Cat tails and Reeds

B649 Fishing Boat Set

B593 Grass 2

B320 Clouds and Rain

LSC-7 Oval Stitch and Cut Tool LG

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great weekend!

Hugs Lisa

Autumn's Loveliest Smile Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.
Autumn is upon us again and here where I live the weather is showing us all the beauty of it! Falling leaves and changing colors but also my least favorite part, the heavy wind and the rainy days. Today is a day like that and it's my day off work but it is a day to stay in bed under the warm covers.... For today I'd like to share an Autumn card with you all using almost all the leaf dies Cheery Lynn Designs offers.

Autumn's Loveliest Smile:

For this card I used all Maja Design papers from different collections but mostly "Walking in the Forest"! All the dies I used where cut out a couple of weeks back but I never used them. I am hooked on Cheery Lynn's leaf dies because you can use them for every occasion and this time it's an Autumn card. It was really hard to take a picture because it is very windy today and I take all my pictures outside....and my card almost flew away haha. lol

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
CAFLRS-14 - Flourish #14
B241 - Rose Leaf Strip
B178 - Flourish Leaf Strip
B147 - Olive Branches
B146 - Pine Branches

Life's A Beach by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I'm showcasing some more of our wonderful new release dies at Cheery Lynn with this beach scene card which could easily adapt for Memory Books and Scrapbook Pages.

I die cut my Life's a Beach in brown cardstock - notice the fabulous texture of it looking like an old washed up log on a beach, so cool. I mounted onto a piece of white cardstock which I had inked with shades to compliment my card. I then went around the outline of the letters with a Glaze pen to make them 'pop' and added a little twine.

My waves were layered twice adding some shells and a little starfish which I coloured with a Copic Pen.

My Reeds and Cat Tails were cut out in coloured cardstock adding in some dried grass from my stash.

Sending Love Card with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 3 Comments

It's Jenny here today with a twist on this week's Lots of Layers challenge. I used the new Step Card Bundle Set-3 to create a garden scene.

I folded and cut the center of an A2 card instead of cutting the side like in the above piture. That's one of the great things about this die, you can move it around to create the look you want and make entirely different cards. I used the flowers from the die to embellish the card. Here is a photo from above so you can see how the flowers and grasses are layered.

I cut a piece of patterned paper the same size as an A2 card front and cut it with the main step die. I glued the patterned paper to the front of step card and trimmed the sides a little so the patterned paper fit perfectly.

I cut the flowers and leaves using the flower dies in the set and colored them with distress ink before adding rhinestone centers. The Sending and Love die cuts were colored to match the roses.

I cut multiple layers of the Grass Border for the front two layers. For the tall grass on the back layer I used the Cattails & Reeds die. The Faerie Mushrooms were colored with distress ink and tucked in between the grasses. I also cut a white card stock backing to layer behind the mushroom tops.

Last I added the hummingbird and dragonfly dies from the Tiny Things With Wings die and added clear stickles to the dragonfly wings and roses for sparkle.

Thinking of You Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Welcome to another Friday Card.

Have you seen the Cheery Lynn's April New Release! What do you think? Which dies are your favourites? Sooo many new wonderful dies to choose from! I am loving all the new creative possibilities these dies bring to my craft table!

Now to this weeks card!

I used all New Release dies except for the Cattails and Reeds. There is always an exception!

The photo above, features the new Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 die in blue cardstock and I layered my sentiment stamped on white cardstock on top. It comes with the extra filigree which I adhered to the top right corner of my card. You can use the extra filigree to layer on top of the base or on its own. You can use this die vertically or horizontally which is also very useful!

The Cattails and Reeds die went so well with my pattern paper, I just had to use it! I cut it out twice from the same blue cardstock as the card base and the Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 die. To create a dimensional look on the cattails I used flower soft.

Above you can see the New Release Pierced Stacker #3. I used 1 of the 6 dies in the set to cut the Heron pattern Paper. To create the thin blue card stock mat, I simply flipped the die over, traced it onto blue card stock and then hand trimmed it out. I really think this die creates an elegant feel to my card.

I used two dies from the New Release Curved Border Set for the bottom layers of my card. The set has four dies to create a mix and match design details to your card.

New Release Dies used:

Curved Border Set (Set of 4) - B569

Pierced Stacker #3 (Set of 6) - XL-21

Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 - B545

Previous Release Dies used:

Cattails and Reeds - B389

I hope you will play along in our weekly Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 180 - Pretty in Purple. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Design Store.

Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,

Corina Finley
