A Blessed Easter with Lisa Blastick

Good morning! I hope every one is having a wonderful day. I wanted to share one more card for the upcoming Easter holiday. This card is focused more on the religious side using a beautiful cross die cut by Cheery Lynn Designs.

I wanted to create the card and with several layers. I used Fiona's Magic Mirror, A Stitched Rectangle, then a Stitched Oval before the Cross. A used the rabbit form Nesting Eggs and added pearls for the eye and tail. There are little eggs in the corner with beautiful flowers and leaves. I also had to use the Dove because it makes me think of heaven.

For Someone Special by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Everyone! I'm back today with a quick card. I don't use a lot of patterned paper on my cards and I love how my DT sisters use it. I chose blues and yellows that I tend to gravitate towards and started layering from there.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and if you didn't get a chance yesterday, make sure to check out the Flower Power Blog Hop and leave a comment on the main Cheery Lynn Blog for a chance to win a $20 gift card.

Just For You by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi, it's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out. Glad to see you here. Today I am sharing a card with flowers. To me flowers always make for a beautiful card to give to that someone special.

I started the base of this card by embossing it with the Hearts and Rose Leaves Embossing Plate .
It is always nice to have that extra texture on the base of your cards.

I then layered the Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily to one side of the card and the Southern Charm Valance Die at the top and bottom of the card.

The Mini Flourish One was used as a background for the flowers and leaves. The flowers are the Chrysanthemum Strip inked up with distress inks for color. The leaves were cut from the Build a Flower #2 and tucked in behind the flowers. A pearl was placed in the center of each flower to finish them off .

I cut the sentiment "Just For You" from the Just For You Oval Die . I then traced the outer edge of the die onto the purple paper and fussy cut it out to place behind the sentiment. The XOXOXO were placed along the bottom of the sentiment.

I would like to thank you for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I hope I have inspired you to play with some of Cheery Lynn Designs flowers. They have a huge variety of flower dies to choose from.

Happy Mothers Day by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hello everyone, it's JULIE here today and here in the UK we celebrate Mother's Day this month so I thought it would be nice to share some inspiration that could easily be adapted into many other occasions by changing the centre sentiment.

Using Craft Consortium's paper pad "Wild Rose" for my card I cut out my Heart Stacker Die and layered on my Stitched Squares which I distressed at the edges to give a material patchwork effect.

Next I layered my Doily onto the centre.

My flowers were cut in White Cardstock and shaded with Distress Inks adding Flower Soft into the centres of one of my favourite smaller flower Dies - Sweet Christine and my Chrysanthemums I added gems to their centres.

My heart I backed onto White Cardstock and kept all the negative cut hearts adding onto my card for extra detail.

Fall Leaves, Garden Gate and Chrysanthemums Card: Guest Designer, Kathy Clement

Kathy/NorthCarolina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello, Friends!

Kathy Clement here with another guest designer project for Cheery Lynn. I am having so much fun playing with my Cheery Lynn dies! Today I have another colorful fall card to share with you featuring Fall Leaves, the Garden Gate and Chrysanthemum Strip Die.

I had some fun experimenting with the dies this time around. The Fall Leaves were die cut from corrugate, then sprayed with various mica sprays. I love the texture this added, and I was thrilled so see how well the dies cut through the corrugate material. The flourishes on either side of the sentiment panel are from the Pumpkin Patch die set.

The Chrysanthemum Strip die is a joy to work with! I love how quick and easy it is to die cut loads of pretty flower layers. I die cut these from Carta Bella's Fall Blessing paper collection, then shaped and layered them, adding a gem to the center of each blossom.

The garden fence was die cut from Tim Holtz woodgrain watercolor paper. I love the wonderful texture this added to the die cut. To give the fence an aged appearance, I blended a little Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo Distress Ink randomly onto the surface, then spritzed with water.

I hope you found some inspiration in this project. It's wonderful to work with dies that cut so easily and make such pretty embellishments!

Thanks for joining me!
Cheerio,
kathy

Fall Pumpkin Patch Card with Guest Designer Kathy Clement

Kathy/NorthCarolina 3:30 AM 9 Comments

Hello, Friends! It's Kathy Clement here, and I'm very excited to be the October Guest Designer at Cheery Lynn! I'm so impressed with the detail and quality of these beautiful dies, and had a wonderful time putting together this Fall Pumpkin Patch Card to share with you here today.

This is a 5x7 Gate Fold Card made with Graphic 45's Time to Flourish paper collection. The Pumpkin Patch Die looks amazing when die cut with patterned paper. I topped the pumpkins with a little "frost" (Stickles Frosted Lace) and then nestled them amid some gorgeous mums made with the Chrysanthemum Strip Die. I love the color contrast!

I love how easily intricate dies, like this Ornament 1 Doily, cut through cardstock like buttah!

Here's a peek at the inside.

I added more pretty pumpkins and flourishes on the inside of the card.
Thanks so much for joining me today. I'm off to play with more of these fabulous Cheery Lynn dies!

Cheerio,
kathy

Just for You by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today. Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments during our blog hop both here at Cheery Lynn and on my own blog, I so enjoyed reading them. Today I am showcasing the new - Just For You die.

I started by using White Cardstock along with my IOE plates and Embossing folder to make my background. I inked my card with Milled Lavender to highlight the embossed areas, tattered the edges of my card and added a sprinkle of Frantage for a shabby feel.

My Just For You was heat set with Milled Lavender Distress Powder and layered onto my Oval and mounted onto my Quadrafoil Doily with a little cheesecloth for extra detail.

My flowers and leaves are all cut out in White Cardstock. I shaded my Dandelions with Bundled Sage Distress ink at the stems and added Milled Lavender Distress Glitter onto the flowers. The centre of my Chrysanthemums is Micro Beads and a little Distress Glitter into the centre of my Sweet Christine flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Have a lovely weekend.

Thank You by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

A warm Hello to you today. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog . I had a couple of flowers in my stash that I had previously made using the Chrysanthemum Strip. So I used them and created this card around them.

I started with a beautiful gold pattern paper to match the flowers. I layered the Lattice Heart & Vines to the center and then layered the two chrysanthemums flowers made from the Chrysanthemum Strip. A few of the Flourish #13 leaves were tucked behind the flowers. The sentiment thank you from the Thank You #2 was layered along the bottom. A simple yet elegant card.

I thank you for visiting the blog and for the comments you leave. They are appreciated. Please come join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 store certificate. I would love to see what you create.

Thank You by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello, it's JENNY here hosting the blog today. I'm sharing a card I made using flowers I saved to use in a name frame. My new niece is only a week old, so I figure I still have time to make more flowers for her project. Instead with patterned paper from Martha Stewart and the Quadrafoil Doily and Tag dies, I created a thank you card.

I colored the Chrysanthemum and Small and Large Gardenias with distress ink and spray mists. The gardenias both have a nice shimmer. The flowers were shaped using a molding mat and stylus tools.

I cut leaves from the Build a Flower #2 die and tucked them underneath the flowers. The Quadrafoil Tag was popped up higher using foam tape for added dimension. I also glued flat-backed creme pearls to the corners of the Quadrafoil Square Doily. The Thank You die was also colored with a little distress ink so it would stand out more against the Tag.

Thank You with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a Thank You card inspired by Cheery Lynn's Give Thanks Challenge. Blue is my favorite color and I tend to gravitate towards it when I want something both simple and elegant. I love it paired with kraft paper. I kept with a simple cool color scheme with this card.

First I cut the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame from the set out of a solid blue paper. I adhered it to a 5.5 inch square card front. I then cut a piece of kraft paper to a 4.75 inch square. I used the largest circle from the matching Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frame set to cut a piece of design paper. I cut the Thank You twice and layered them, offsetting the blue one underneath for a shadow effect. Before gluing the thank you down I added in the Notre Dame Cathedral Doily die in white underneath. It fit perfectly onto the Horizon Circle layer.

Last I made the flowers using blue and white paper, a molding mat and tool and the Chrysanthemum strip die. These are such quick and easy flowers, they always look delicate and lovely. I added kraft leaves behind the flowers from the Build a Flower #2 die and then glued chunky glass glitter to the center of the flowers for some sparkle.

Fairy Tale by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi it's Jenny posting today. I created this card for a workshop I did with my eight year old daughter and her friends. I demonstrated basic flower making and used design paper that I thought would appeal to them.

First I cut the floral design paper using the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped Set. I used the Ankara Lace Doily as a backdrop for my stamped sentiment. I popped the doily up with adhesive foam before making the flowers.

I liked how my Judy's Blooms flowers turned out in my post last week so I incorporated another to show the girls. I scrunched the edges and accordion folded the flower petals after spritzing the card stock with water. This one also has a light blue center that was colored with distress ink. I also added a sparkly flat-backed rhinestone. The pink flowers were made using the Chrysanthemum Strip die. I blended distress ink colors on the edges and molded the flowers with a stylus so they would cup inward. The centers are dewdrops.

Smile Card with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny today sharing a card using a few of the beautiful dies from the April Cheery Lynn Designs release . If you missed all the lovely new dies yesterday, scroll down to see what the DT created and you can see them all HERE.

I made the roses and leaves using the Tea Rose Medium die and colored the roses with abandoned coral distress ink. The blue flowers were made with the Chrysanthemum Strip die. Here's a close-up.

I layered a few different dies for the main part of the card. The Horizon Coved Square was cut with cream card stock and glued to a blue-green 5.5" square card base. On top I glued a square of green patterned card stock, then layered the Fleur de Lis Doily on top. I took some of the pretty fleur de lis cut outs from the doily, colored them brown and then glued half back into the negative space making a pattern in the doily. There was an even number of spaces so I covered up the space where two would have met with the floral arrangement. I stamped the sentiment and used the circle dies as stencils to color the centers with distress ink. The circle and scalloped circle stackers were then popped up with foam adhesive.

Last I cut the corners using the smaller die that comes with the Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 die. I thought the pretty design coordinated well with the central doily.

Celebrate Card with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today. I've seen beautiful blue flowers on cards recently and wanted to try my own. The blue flowers were cut from the Gardenia Strip die with white card stock. They started out green-blue but became more purple-blue as I added glimmer mist sprays. After drying they were shaped using paper molding tools, stacked and then glued. The background was created by offsetting patterned papers and the trellis is the Shoji Mesh Border.

The chrysanthemums were colored with pink distress ink, shaped with a molding tool so they cupped inward and then pearl centers were added. Distress ink was sponged onto the center of the smallest Horizon Fishtail Banner before gluing the Celebrate sentiment. The sides of the banner were glued down and the center was popped up with multiple layers of foam adhesive so it would arch.

To finish I tucked green leaves from the Flourish Leaf Strip die and swirls cut from a purple patterned paper with the Tiny Fanciful Flourish die into the flowers. The leaves and swirls were cut twice to make the arrangement really full.

Happy Birthday Butterfly Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello!

Welcome back to another Friday with me, Corina, here on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog. This weeks card has a light colour palette, with a layered design.

For the base I used Kraft cardstock and matted a piece of pattern paper which is cut 1/4" smaller. I tore the right hand side and placed a white Lilith Doily Edger die cut underneath so the scallop shape is seen.

I created my Doily layered center using the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames in the medium and large, the Lilith Doily and a circle die from the Classic LG Stackers Nesting Dies.

I placed the largest Horizon Circle die cut down on my card base and then layered the Lilith Doily directly on top.

As you can see in the photo above, I die cut a circle out from the center of the medium Horizon Circle and pop-dotted it to the layers. I die cut my embossed butterfly image with the same circle stacker die and inset the image to the center.

For my focal flower, I used the Chrysanthemum Strip and an altered petal from the Sweet Christine die in the center. I accented using the Baby's Breath Flower set, Tiny Flower set and the Ivy Corner Flourish for foliage.

I added the Happy and Birthday sentiments to my card and add Rhinestones for a touch of bling!

Happy Thoughts Card by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello....Happy thoughts coming your way....from me to you!

Corina here with you today, to share my Spring inspired card!

The vibrant floral pattern paper, sentiment word paper and white cardstock was the starting point. I die cut these papers with the French Flair Stacker die set.

I then added the Polynesian Sails Oval Doily on top of the French Flair Stacker. I stamped my sentiment on a white Coved Rectangle Stacker die cut and matted it on a Scalloped Coved Rectangle Stacker die cut. I then placed it in the center but slipped it under the left side of the Polynesian Sails Oval Doily.

I cut the Mega Fanciful Flourish from white cardstock and inked with Evergreen Bough Distress ink and sprayed with Goosebumps clear texture spray. I created two Chrysanthemum Strip flowers and used Spun Sugar Distress ink on one and worn lipstick ink on the other.

My new favourite "filler" flower is the dandelions die. I tuck a few here and there as a "Baby's Breath" style of flower.

I could not resist adding beading to the inner circle of the Polynesian Sails Oval Doily. I thing that this touch adds elegance to the card.

Anita Kejriwal 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Hi friends. .
A warm welcome and best wishes for a Happy New year . This is Anita here with my weekly Wednesday post. This is my first post for the Year 2015 and I am super excited to share my project with you.
Today I am sharing an all white card with a snowball chrysanthemum flower. These are very popular in India in winter and look beautiful. I have made a white mum flower with the chrysanthemum strip die. I cut this die 8 times for a single flower. Then I embossed each petal inward and layered it from largest to smallest shape. The result is a fluffy white full bloom. Various frame and doily die cuts have been layered to give an intricate look.
Here is the card.

Butterflies and Flowers Card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Click to Enlarge

Happy New Year to Everyone, it's Julie here today and I hope you have all had a wonderful time during the festivities. My card for this week I decided to use the fabulous Chrysanthemum Strip to make an abundance of flowers for my card.

I started off by die cutting my background in a Dusky Pink Shade.

My doily was edged with Spun Sugar ink at the edges and in the centre, this softened the starkness of the White Cardstock against my vintage image and I also added some Pearlised Glitter glue.

My flowers were made by adding a little Spun Sugar ink into the centres of each layer. I used my embossing tool to shape the petals, layering up and adding Flower Soft to the centres.
