A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you from Debbie's Time Out. I want to wish all you Mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow.  So here is a Mother's Day card that I am sharing with you.


I made a fancy fold card from black cardstock for my base. The back piece I covered with polka dot paper and the front layer of the base I covered with a pattern paper with dress forms on it.


I used the Mirror Die  as a background for my sentiment to be printed on. I then added the corner from the Quadrafoil Tag  under the sentiment. The Dragonfly   was layered onto the top corner.



The flower arrangement was created using the Floral Bouquet Kit  , Black Eyed Susan Strip  ,Judy's Blooms  and the Embellishment #1 .

Well that is it for this time. Thank You for visiting the blog and for the comments you leave. They are so appreciated. Have a crafty day my friends.

Hi and Good Morning :)  Alison here again today, sharing this weeks card inspired some more gorgeous and easy to use Cheery Lynn Designs Dies.

Now wasnt this picture was taken in the last of the summer rays today ? lol  :)   

I started off using a blank 6 x 6 card base, and layered white american crafts cardstock with some scraps of lilac paper.  This cardstock  was used for all the die cuts, and it cuts like a dream.

I then created my background using the elegant  Daisy Lace Frame, and edged it with the Lady Kate Edger.  I then stuck down 2 strips from Alisons Ribbons to conceal the join.  I coloured my image with PM's and glittered the wings, and matted onto oval stackers and scalloped oval stackers.

I made the lovely sweet flowers using the  Daisy Strip die (my favourite flower die ever!) and secured with pearl and glitter brads.  The pretty dragonfly and olive branch leaves were added as a finishing touch, along with some white pearls.

All dies used on this card are:

FRM118 - Daisy Lace Frame
B278 - Lady Kate Edger
B335 - Alisons Ribbons
B259 - Daisy Strip
DL152 - Dragonfly
B147 - Olive branches
L-7 - Oval Stackers
XL - 8 Scalloped Oval

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.

Hello! One of the things I love about my dies from Cheery Lynn Designs, the patterns work for ANYTHING…guys, girls, layout, card, new and funky, or old and vintage!

When I found this old photo of my husband and his siblings, I knew the Dainty Dutch Deco Frame would be perfect for matting the photo.

After inking and masking the edges of my base cardstock, I started with the Mega Tea Party Doily. I added lace touches to my first layer using Francesca. Wanting just a small dainty touch to the middle layer, I adhered Wedding Garter, leaving only a small portion of the edge sticking out. The last layer being the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker. For a little bit if fun, I added 5 portions from the Pennant Die. Resting near the title is the Small Dragonfly.

Anyone that knows me knows how I love to take my creations and dies outside the box! While playing with my dies this week, I created the larger brown flower using Stacker Flower #5 and a brown grocery bag! I was really pleased with how splendidly the paper was to manipulate! The center of the flower is from Build a Flower #1 Also, arriving on my doorstep was a wonderful package of scrap goodies wrapped in gorgeous hounds tooth tissue paper! I was as excited over the tissue paper as the goodies inside! I cut eight layers of the tissue paper using the smallest Sweet Williams die. Staggering the layers, I attached and fluffed! After adding foliage from Pair of Ferns, Flourish Leaf Strip, Stacker Flower #1 Leaf, and Small Leaves 2; I added flowers cut from the Flower Chain Border and a Medium Rose cut from vellum.

Other dies used: Heart Key, Two of Hearts

Hello dear Cheery Lynn Designs fans!
Kianel here with you back on my usual posting day for another creation i made using the marvellous Cheery Lynn designs dies.
Today i am finally allowed to show you the result of the tutorial i made last year to make your own background paper. This was the background i ended up with, using the exotic butterflies dies in various sizes both as stencils and stamps i made with foam:

 Never got to show you the final result though as the page had been published in a french magazine, but i now i can so here it is:

To make my background, i used the exotic butterflies small #2, Exotic butterfly extra large, and stamps and distress inks. (see the tutorial).  To decorate this lay out, i used the small exotic butterflies # 1, the tropical flourish die and the XL scalloped oval stackers combined with XL oval stackers to make my frame around the picture.  We didn't have the flower dies at that time so they are all premade.
I hope you will like this layout, i don't do so many of them because i am totally lost with this much space to "fill": what can i say, i'm a cardmaker, lol!

And speaking of cardmaking, here is a new card i created for Cheery Lynn Designs. I love to give myself challenges from times to times so my challenge this week was to make a card using dies i've never used before. I did it and, apart from the flourish, the miniature rose and the butterflies, the other dies were brand new. Here is the result:
 For the base of my card, i used the XL square stackers. I then created an opening using one of the beautiful frames that Cheery Lynn carries. The stamp and papers are coming from Magnolia.
 When you open the card, you have this "window" created with the Dutch doily rectangle frame that is the same on both sides.
 This flower is made using one of the corner dies from Lace corner deco B that i cut out 5 times and flipped as accordeon. I then glued them on a circle of paper and added a flower in the center made using the miniature rose die which is covered with Creative Inspirations paint and the leaf that goes together with it. I ended with adding pieces of the fanciful flourish die here and there.
 Here is a close up of the small dragonfly that i just slightly inked with distress.
 Here you can see both sides of the window i created using the Dutch doily rectangle frame. I cut it once and placed it on cardstock that i cut just a few millimeters larger than the actual frame. And did the same on the other side.
 Here i used the 1st letter of the name of the person the card is dedicated to and this one is coming from the absolutely divine Flourish font.
 The sentiment stamp is coming from Whimsy stamps and is placed in the center of 3 Sunflower dies that i inked with distress and Adirondack inks. Another fanciful flourish adornates it.
 Have you noticed that Cheery Lynn Designs carries beautiful hearts in their sortiment? Well, it's worth giving it a look and hard to find the one you like the most as they are all beautiful. This one is called Celtic Heart.
And last but not least, 2 beautiful butterflies from the exotic butterflies small set are slightly inked and decorated with half pearls and placed in the inside of the card.
Well, i hope you've enjoyed those creations. Don't forget our challenge blog with a chance to win a 20$ shopping spree every week! Lots of love from France, Kianel.

Welcome to Tuesday on the Cheery Lynn Inspirational Blog!  This is Debbie with you today, sharing a layout that I created with some fabulous Cheery Lynn Designs dies!  With Spring coming on I've been in a flower creating mood!!  I have 2 flowers I want to highlight today, one is a Peony...one of my favorite all time flowers! The other flower is a Sweet Williams, love how this little flower can fill a garden or pot very quickly.  So leave me a comment and let me know what you think and I'll create a quick tutorial for them.

The photo is of my sweet grand daughter Adalyn!  she is almost 2 but she OWNS her grandpa's heart!!  When he asks her for a kiss, she puckers up and and it's just the cutest thing! Ok ...enough bragging!

I want to start with the mat back ground I used for the photo, I cut 2 from the Daisy Lace Frame and then adhered them to the layout and added my photo to the top letting the pattern peek out just a little on the top and bottom. I also cut one doily from the English Tea Party Doily and cut it in half to give the layout a little more width.
The first flower is the Peony.  I created it using the Stacker Flower 5 and the Sunflower.  Snuggled up to the Peony is a the Sweet Williams.  For this flower I use the Sweet Williams Die. I layered it 3 times and inked the edges for depth and added an adhesive gem to the center. I then added the Pair of Ferns to the flower cluster.
I also wanted to share with you the cute dragonfly's I added to this layout.  I used the Dragonfly Smallw/Angel Wing  to make these. To high light them I added a few adhesive gems to each one of them and then inked all the edges.
If you'd like a tutorial for the flowers leave me a comment and I'll work one up.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting the Cheery Lynn blog!  Be sure to stop by the Cheery Lynn Challenge Blog for the fun Birthday Challenge details!!

On this first basket I used: 

B136 - Anastasia Border for both the handle trim and all around the bottom of the basket.
B117 - Fanciful Flourish
D137 - Sweet Williams - A terrific die for making a gorgeous shabby flower!
D134 - Dimensional Small Leaves #2 - I added extra leaves behind the flowers, inked and curled the edges.
B162 - Lace Corner Deco B - Sticking 2 together to make the side decoration - these are so classy looking.


I inked the edges of all the components before sticking them down, as it gives a great finish, and just added some little chocolate eggs to make a lovely gift.

Second Basket:


To decorate this I used:

B133 - Lace Light Deco Border - Again for both the handle trim and the basket decoration.  I used double-sided snow-white pearl card for this, so it looks just as beautiful on both sides.

DL146 - Large Dragonfly w/Angel Wing - These are so delicate and fluttery.  I affixed them to the basket with white brads to stop them flying off ;) lol



B164 - Lace Corner Deco D  &  D133 - Dimensional Small Leaves #1 for the scrunchy flower at the top of the handle.  I love the way these leaves emboss!

Now I actually made 3 baskets for an Easter table display, and to give as gifts for my family, and on the 3rd basket (you can just see tucked behind in the below picture)  I used B149 - Cuties 1 for the border trim (this is a rolling flower die, but very versatile and such a cute border.  DL128 - Two of Hearts for the tag and trim.

Hello Cheery Lynn Designs Fans!!  I'm so excited to post my very first project with Cheery Lynn Designs!!

I created a couple of projects with several different dies but I wanted to share this layout with you first.  The photo is of my littlest grand daughter Adalyn and her very first pedicure.  She was only about 3 weeks old when her mom gave her first pedicure.  I just couldn't help but take a photo of it!  She is now almost 2 and has to have her toe nails painted at all times!  Funny how early they learn to be so girly!

For this layout I used the Fanciful Flourish Die, English Tea Party Doily, Exotic Butterflies Small #2 Pair of Ferns and the Small Lace Faerie Queen w/Angel Wing.

Please join me every Tuesday for new projects using Cheery Lynn's beautiful dies!! Don't forget to visit our challenge blog and play along, this weeks  challenge is a basket challenge just in time for Easter!  http://cheerylynndesignschallenge.blogspot.com/
