Thank You Beautiful Tag by Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning Cheery Lynn Fans.

Today I am sharing another tag with you all. I am totally hooked on those at the moment! This time I used three Maja Design collections to make my tag. The green shades are from both "Vintage Autumn Basics"& "Summertime" collections and the rest of the card is made with my favorite "Nyhavn" collection. It's kind of an Autumn card I think because I used berries and other Autumn elements like cones and a lot of leaf dies.

Thank You Beautiful:

I just really love all the leaf dies Cheery Lynn Designs offers and I used a whole bunch of them on my tag. They are great for layering and to use in your flower clusters. For this tag I cut out the wreaths, both the Halloween and the Joy to the World and layered them on top of each other for dimension. Then underneath I added another paper sheet from the "Nyhavn"collection and lifted it with foam tape.

Then I added some white berries and twigs on the right side of my tag for fill along with layers of leaves and flowers at the end. The center of my flower is not handmade but I am going to make them in the near future myself. Lately I am also really loving to add flairs to my work especially the flair from Cuts2luv they are amazing to work with and they have great designs too.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

B469 - Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath

B481 - Joy to the World Wreath

D136 - Dimensional Large Leaves #2

D133 - Dimensional Small Leaves #1

B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit

CAFLRS-7 - Flourish #7

B146 - Pine Branches

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful and lovely week!

Valentine Heart Gift Bag by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Good morning lovelies.
Today I would like to show you a gift bag I made for Valentine's Day {I know I am a little late but never too late for love right?} For this bag I used a retired die DL111 - Heartland America XL as the base of my bag! So the size of the bag is about 15.5cm by 15.5cm without the handle.
This was such a fun and easy project to make....and you can surprise your love with some candy inside. I used some left overs from the "Vintage Autumn Basics"collection by Maja Design.
I always hoard my leftover pieces so I can give them to my neighbor but this time I used them myself.

Valentine Heart Gift Bag:

First I cut out the outer die from the heartland die out of the flower sheet and on top of that I placed the rest of that die cut out of green paper.

Then I cut out a piece of 30cm by 8cm which I scored on 15cm, on 2cm and on 6cm. Then I made little cuts all the way of the 30cm piece on both sides.

Now I am ready for the decoration.....using the pretty C184 - Judy's Blooms as my flower piece.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B666 - Fern Leaf

B675 - Sweetheart Candy
DL303 - Pierced Banners {set of 3}
D136 - Dimensional Large Leaves #2
DL266 - Dripping Butterfly
C184 - Judy's Blooms
DL111 - Heartland America XL {retired die}

Fall Thank You by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Good Morning! It's Jenny posting today with a fall card. I was planning on using a lace die for this week's challenge but this Mesh Border die just called to me instead. It reminded me of a fall table runner my sister had on her table recently.

I used an A2 dark red card base and then glued a piece of white card stock on top. I used the Mesh Border die that I cut with kraft paper and glued it down. The I added leaves cut with the Dimensional Small Leaves #2 die. The shading and color blending was all done with a cosmetic sponge and distress ink. I arranged the leaves and tacked them down to the card with double sided adhesive tape.

I then cut the Thank You #2 three times and glued the layers together. The dark red paper is heavy weight and three layers together make the die cut look like chipboard.

AUTUMN COLORS WITH ANITA KEJRIWAL

Anita Kejriwal 3:30 AM 3 Comments

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.

For this card, I simply used the negative of the dimensional leaf above and used it as stencil and coloured with distress inks. Then I stamped with Hero arts script texture stamp and an Impression Obsession stamp to create this background. The rest is simple.

List of Supplies

Dimentional Large Leaves 2 D-136

Chicken wire SRM 144

French scalloped Flair XM 13

Distress inks-Peeled paint, Rusty hinge, Gathered Twigs

Mod podge dimentional magic

Rangers dsitress glitter

stamps.-Hero arts, Impression obsession

So I hope my shades of Autumn will inspire you all to make your projects. Do submit them to the Cheery Lynn Challenge -AUTUMN COLOURS and win for your self some amazing prizes. Do stop by and leave a few words. Thanks for being there !!!!

Nice Little Things by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here hosting the blog today. With winter now just around the corner here in Scotland, I have started to feed our Garden Birds once again. This card is inspired by them and the Summer flowers that are now all disappearing.

Let me show you previous layers again on this card to make it easier to understand how I made it.

You will see I layered my French Flair Doily stackers rotating the following layer to a diamond shape and I paper pieced in my Snowflake Doily at the back.

I shaded my leaves,birds and birdbath with distress inks and my flowers were coloured with Copics.

I stamped my verse, added a little distress and accent stamping to soften the sharpness of the white card.

Good Luck to everyone entering our weekly challenge and I'll see you all next Saturday.

Happy Crafting,

Vintage Layered Card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Click to Enlarge

Hi Everyone, Julie here today hosting the blog. This week I thought I would share a vintage style card with you.

I thought I would show you previous layers on my card as it makes it easier to see. The first 2 layers glued onto my card were torn at the edges and some distress added to the edges and I placed my tiny doily onto both sides. My next layer, I die cut out the Horizon Square Frame, distressed the edges and added some creases onto the paper and placed my die cut heart.

My image I glued lace around and added to my Magic Mirror die which I had distressed the edges on and added some gilding wax too.

Layers of different leaves and flourishes were added which I cut out in different coordinating papers. My roses were die cut from white cardstock. I shaded the paper with my Copics before building my roses. Finally adding a few pearls on my card to finish.

Good luck to everyone entering our challenge this week and thanks for stopping by.

Happy Fall Y'all!

LeslieRahye 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a Autumnal Equinox greeting. Fall is my favorite time of the year...crisp mornings, colorfuln leaves, pumpkins!!! Naturally I wanted to share this fall greeting! I distressed some kraft core card stock and crumpled up the papers. I diecut my leaves and brought out veins with chalks. I layered my sentiment on leaves and a doily and a distressed background. I created a focal flower with the sunflower die and used the fringe strip of the black-eyed susan for the center. Some burlap string and a molded bee embellishment completed the card

Celebrate Fall Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Corina here with you on this cold September day! I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada and it is 100% Fall here. There was so much frost on the grass yesterday morning that my three year old started yelling "Momma, it snowed!"

To celebrate my favourite time of year - I decided to create a Fall themed card using both sets of the Small Leaves, I used the Fall Leaf Doily as a base for my Leaf arrangement. |I added burlap, twine and Cheery Lynn's Wheat Heads through out.

Above is a close up of my Leaf Arrangement. Using the same technique as I used last week - I first took my ink pad (Gathered Twig) and gently tapped on to the leaf dies. Making sure that I only applied ink on to the top of the ridges - image/pattern part. I then ran it through my Big Shot.

Voila, my leaves have so much more depth to them!

Dies Used:

Dimensional Small Leaves #1 - D133

Dimensional Small Leaves #2 - D134

Wheat Heads (Set of 2) - B388

Fall Leaf Doily w/Angel Wing (Set of 2) - DL249

Hinges (Set of 8) - B399

Sentiment Frame #1 - B189

I hope you will play along in this weeks Challenge - All about Texture. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store!

Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,

Corina Finley

A Fall Thank You Tag!

LeslieRahye 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here to share with you a watercolored fall tag! I cut out all the elements of this tag on watercolor paper. I used both crayons and mica infused cake watercolors to create these fall leaves and back ground. Distress Ink rubbed onto the edges helped complete the leaves once they were formed with an emboss tool. The Thank and You were also painted with the mica cake watercolors and rubbed gently with the Distress Ink. I really love how the Dimensional Leaves look with the embossed veins--so real looking!

Thank you for stopping by!

Manly Birthday Wishes

shulsart 3:30 AM 9 Comments

Sandy with you today, Alison is a bit under the weather. She will be back with you next week. The Cheery Lynn Designs challenge this week is Make It Manly. Guy cards can be a challenge but this was a pretty quick card that I think would work great for a guy. Using my Royal Coved Rectangle Mega Reflections dies, I created the overlay on the card base and the center panel of my tent card. These dies are so versatile, you can create almost any size you need. I hand trimmed the card base and the patterned paper pieces using the dies as templates.

Rather than using flowers, I have added a mix of leaves, pines and an acorn to make this manly embellishment. I used some Distress ink to age the paper a bit. Finished size is 5.5 inches square. The paper is from the Paper Loft; the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Be sure to visit the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog for more inspiration and to join in on this week's Make It Manly challenge for a chance to win $20 to the store.

Forever Bouquet

Jodi 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Hello! I’m want to share some fun ideas I had taking my dies “outside the box” this week!

I started by taking one of my favorite dies, the French Lattice Small Frame and cutting it apart to form corners for my layout. I just adore the pattern of this lattice! It’s delicate flair set the tone for my layout. Using the largest of the Mini Pearl Circle Reflections Boutique, I cut a circle for my background. I placed Lace Corner Deco B all around the edge of the circle to give it a lacy edge. The Victorian Garden Doily Frame surrounds my photo, matted with the Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique. Tucked under my photo is Window A, framing my journaling words.

My bouquet consists of Frangipani, Stacker Flower #6, Medium Rose, Large Rose, Cutie Fringe #3, Build a Flower Embellishment #3 and Baby’s Breath from Build a Flower Embellishment #2. Leaves from Large Leaves #1 and Rose Leaf Strip. Around the edges is the Mini Fanciful Flourish. Tucked under the bouquet is the Eastern Star Doily and French Pastry Tiny Doily. Fluttering atop are Exotic Butterfly Mini and Mini Dimensional Butterflies.

Hello! Boy oh boy, do I have a bad case of spring fever! I know it is still March which means a mix of snow and rain storms in Minnesota, but I am really longing for the warm spring days when we can get out and play again! I decided it was time to bring a bit of the flowers and sunshine to my creations!

Hugs

Jodi 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hello! Today I have a card featuring the new Build a Flower dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started by cutting the base from Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique. Adding a little texture, I used my favorite Diamonds & Starburst Embossing Plate. The Polynesian Sails Oval doily is the perfect delicate base for my image. Above the image hovers a dragonfly from the new Tiny Things with Wings….such cute little critters in this set!

The larger flower was created using the new Build a Flower #3 set. The flower center, as well as the smaller burgundy flowers were cut from Build a Flower Embellishment #3. Daisies being my favorite flower, you are sure to see more from the Daisy Strip in the future! Foliage from Pair of Ferns, Wreath Strip, Rose Leaf Strip, and Small Leaves #2. Tucked in the flowers is the new Hugs sentiment atop Sentiment Frame #1.
