From My Garden to Your Heart

Happy Monday peeps! Today is my day here on the Cheery Lynn blog.

I have been dreaming of planting some flowers, but the weather will not cooperate. I created a cute garden card since I am lacking in the real flowers department.

I used the new Shutter Window shaker die set along with Double sided thick foam adhesive to add dimension. I added some stamping and a cute little chipboard heart. I die cut Cherry Blossom branch die several times to add trailing flowers.

I added ribbons and the cute Watering can die and was done. Thanks for visiting! Cherry

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a new card using some of my favorite colors. The peach color is a little more pink in real life. I was short on time but a beautiful background die and a good color combination can turn a simple card into a stunning one.

I started with a slightly larger than A2 pink card base and then layered the Lattice #1 die over a piece of aqua card stock. I then cut the Cherry Blossoms Branch twice. I was planning on cutting pink flowers to layer on top of the white stems but I decided to double layer them instead, offsetting them. I thought the card needed more of the pink for balance.

Last I added the Blessings sentiment on the Horizon Fishtail Banner die which was popped up with foam adhesive.

25th Anniversary by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi there. Glad to see you here . It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out with you today. There was a die set just release by Cheery Lynn Designs with the Christmas release which I have featured today. It is the Christmas Bell 7 Piece Die Set . I always like to see if I can come up with ideas for using dies aimed for a certain season and make it work for something totally different so it is more versatile. So I took these Christmas bells and used them for this 25th anniversary card.

For this card I used purple and white for my base and then popped and layered the Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stackers Frame onto it. I really think the design in this frame is so elegant for a anniversary card.

Just look at all that beautiful detail in these bells and bow. I cut but didn't pop the pieces out as I wanted more of a embossed look. For another look I could have popped out the pieces and layered another color behind the bells.

Here I have cut the Cherry Blossom Branch Die in silver to match the bells and 25th and popped it up.

The 25th is cut from the Delicate Lace Script and layered onto the smallest of the Historic Barcelona Square Boutique Stackers Frame . This Delicate Lace Script comes with two dies. One with all the upper case letters and the other die with the lower case letters and numbers. These numbers were the perfect style for this anniversary card.

That is it for this time but I would like to invite you to join the CLD bi-weekly challenge

Hello Friend with Lisa Blastick

Hello friends! Today I have a really Clean and Simple card for you to make using one Cheery Lynn Designs Die! It is part of the May 2016 New Release called "Cherry Blossom Branch" It's Beautiful! If there is one die cut that you want in your collection...it is for sure this one....

I tend to add lots of layers to many of my cards and of course I'm a pop dot addict. However, I also think that Clean and Simple cards are beautiful too!

The die was cut four times, twice in green and twice in red. Then fussy cut out the red flowers and glue on top of the green. add pearls and your done! The sentiment was stamped in the corner. It is super flat except for the pearls but it should be easy to mail. Takes about 5 minutes to make. :)

Here you can see a close up the intricate details in the flowers and the leaves. I layered red cardstock and a patterned paper underneath for more color, but it also looks great plain.

I LOVE red! and this is the cover of the die cut that inspired me to make this card today.

Thinking of You by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi friends, Jenny here today sharing a card I made using new May Release dies. I used two of the dies from the Royal Scandinavian A2 Card Facer set to cut the design into the card front. The card face is backed with a light blue patterned paper from Prima. I cut the Thinking of You Sentiment Square and glued a blue Pierced Square behind it. The sentiment was covered in glitter glue for sparkle.

The flowers were made using the Cherry Blossom Branch die. I cut it twice to double layer the flowers. Adding an extra flower created so much extra dimension. The flower on the left is the complete flower. For visual balance I added a part of the flower to the right side of the card as well. The flowers are colored with distress ink. I crinkled the edges by pinching them with my fingers and pulled the stamens up toward the center to get a more natural and three dimensional look.

Amazing Summer Day 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 2:30 AM 6 Comments

Good morning everyone.

Did you all blog hop with us last Sunday? If you did "don't you just love" the new releases? If you didn't hop, you could always head over here ==> May 2016 New Release Blog Hop <== and hop with us.
Today I would like to show a projects that is totally in my comfort zone with lots of flowers and layers. For this layout I used the pretty "A Ladies' Dairy" collectors edition by Graphic 45.

My uncle posted this amazing picture of him {in the back as a goofy clown} and my aunt the second on the left way back in the sixties at a campground on little Barbee Lake in Indiana. The three other girls are their nieces. So adorable don't you think?

Amazing Summer Day:

On the metal plate the text says "reality has limits, imagination is boundless". It just so fits to this amazing picture with all beautiful minded people on it. The cream dotted paper I sprayed with water in the upper right corner to make it wrinkly. Then I placed another blue piece of paper behind it and just went nuts with stamping, spraying and pasting.

Maybe most of you know I love to use metal on my layout's and here I used metal brads for the centers of my layout and in the upper right corner I used a screw met embellishment by "Finnabair"!

On the cute leaves from the B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit {NEW} I added some glossy accents to give it more dimension. Also I cut apart the pretty FRM154 - Quatrefoil A2 Frame #2 {NEW} to place the pieces behind my picture which I layered on two pieces of paper.
