Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all!!
Today's card was designed for Cheery Lynn Design using the beautiful dies from Cheery Lynn Designs . I wanted my card to have a Spring feel, and this delivers just that :) It was also created for Really Reasonable Ribbons Challenge this week, to create a Birthday, wedding, baby, or some kind of occasion card. Mine is a Birthday & Spring! hehehe
On my card I used lots of darling dies from Cheery Lynn, and I am loving them all on this one!!! I also used The Project Bin sentiment stamp from the set called "Born Yesterday" this set is all about Birthdays!

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:
B527 Bunnies( brown polka dot) I also added a bow, flower, and viva pearl pen to this cutie
B682 Quadrafoil Tag , cut using the Pink hearts design paper.
LPC4 Circle Pierce set cut out brown card stock, and tree dp from Pebbles
DL280 Royal Scandinavian Doily, cut out in white card stock and layered on card front
B180 Princess Tree , cut out in green card stock, and matching design paper, and layered. I also added some flowers , and branches to this one.
B216 Wreath Strip used as branches under the tree for a filler

I absolutely LOVE the way this card turned out. I love all the layers and colors, it's perfect for a spring birthday!

The tree was super fun to work with, and I will have to do another of this one soon! I love the wreath strip pieces behind it, as it gives some dimension and fills in. I added the little hearts in the design paper, I thought it would be cute. I lastly added some flower embellishments to this!

My Big Bow was created using Really Reasonable Ribbons February Ribbon monthly kit. I also used some RRR for the bunny bow. LOVE how cute this bunny is! All embellishments are also from RRR.

Sewing was done using a very light pink thread and my sewing machine.

Hello beautiful people!  Chrissy Mac here with a "Well Wishes" custom card in a style I have dubbed "A Little Shabby and a Little Chic."  This one is full of yummy textures with knitted lace, corrugated paper, dyed twine and regular card stock.


I used Cheery Lynn Design's french flair which is such a great building shape as it has a nice outside shape that is decorative, but clean at the same time.  I wanted to play with some lace edging.  I staged it under my already cut circles and I knew instantly that I had to use it.  This drove some later design decisions such as using the corrugated paper (an unlikely candidate normally) for building a dimensional flower and creating a flower center through repeatedly knotting the purple twine.

Another technique I used to help give it that shabby chic vintage like styling is using a die cut using the Cheery Lynn Square Deutschland Doily and carefully flipped it and removed only some of the outer most cutouts so it had a rougher more imperfect look when layered over the grey french flair.  Perhaps others will like the end result.  I almost want to just frame it as it is so layered and has a sturdier look than the average card, but someone should receive these well wishes! 

Thank you for joining me.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Come on my starting November first for an inspirational journey through 10 design blogs all featuring the new Cheery Lynn Designs Shaker Card Maker Kits and Accessories.  They are so cool!!

Hello all!  It's Christmas Theme Week on the Cheery Lynn Design blog and today I am sharing a project using my favorite Cheery Lynn Designs Christmas and Winter die designs.


It's that time of year again that always seems to just fly by, but is filled with fun, friends and family.  I personally have always loved this time of year and although some years are easier than others to get in the holiday spirit, I have to admit I love all that the end of the year holidays bring...baked treats, pumpkin yummies, festive lights, sparkle, the smell of pine and cinnamon and spending quality time with the ones I love.  Time to really get our craft on...right?!  Us artsy craftsy people will be busy making special cards, gifts, themed baskets, special memory books, party and holiday decorations and more.  Today I am sharing a festive card spreading that oh so important message of peace.

We could all use some more peace along with joy and plenty of love!


I like the elegance and simplicity of this color scheme which is a dark matte metallic silver and gold.  Throw in the lovely Cheery Lynn die cuts and some glitter and voila...we have ourselves a merry and festive creation that can be used for either Christmas or New Year's.

Me and dimensional flowers have become BFF's of late so I just had to use this lovely Cheery Lynn Designs Poinsettia die.




Cheery Lynn Designs has a wide variety of Christmas dies to choose from.  These are just a few of my favorites.  Head on over to Cheery Lynn Designs and take a look at the Christmas Section to see all the fabulous dies that are available.  I hope I have helped even if just a little tiny bit to inspire you with some ideas for a holiday card or other holiday themed project.
