The Songbird by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I’m sharing a vintage styled card using some papers I picked up recently at a car boot sale, along with a few other bargains.

I started by tattering edges of my base layer and heat embossed some gold powder onto the edges. Adding layers with coordinating papers, a little cheesecloth for a shabby look and my bird with embossing powder also at the edges.

My flowers were all cut out from coordinating papers and shaped on my Embossing mat and stamens added into the centres. I then arranged my floral arrangement onto my card along with leaves and flourishes.

Hello by Jenny Alia

Hi, I was inspired to use lime green and aqua together and this is the result. The hello is photographing as black but it's actually more of a charcoal color. I chose the colors first, the background lattice next, and then the flowers and foliage.

This hello from the Bohemian Word set is one of my go-to Cheery Lynn dies. I love the casual script font and the size is large enough to make a visual impact on a card. It works well on clean-and-simple cards but is elegant enough to use on other style cards as well. After molding the Sweet Williams flowers using a stylus and molding mat, I added a white center from the Embellishment #2 Set and glued small rhinestones to the centers.

Hi crafty friends, Jenny here today! I have another quick card to show you today. I made this using flowers I'd pre-made during free time this summer. I started with a white card base, then layered pink card stock under the black that was cut using the Lattice Circle Frame.

I cut a two circles from the Classic Circle Stackers L4 set and then glued the Thank You Sentiment Circle on top. The flowers were created using Judys Blooms and the centers are from the Embellishment #2 Set. The small white accent flowers are the Dandelion die. I used this die very often, it's such a great accent when you want a little texture or color but it's more delicate than leaves.

A Little Something for You by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello!

Thanks for joining me today, Corina, here on the Cheery Lynn Blog.

For my card this week, I stamped, watercoloured, embossed and inked the background with Distress Inks on watercolour paper. I then die cut the stamped image out using the Pierced Stacker #4 set. I placed a larger black cardstock die cut (from the same set) to cover the die cut hole.

I then layered the stamped image on top. I inked a variety of foliage die cuts with Distress Inks and placed in the bottom left and top right corners. I used the Build a Flower #2 to create my large flower and the Embellishment #2 for the small buds.

My Sentiment Frame was also cut from watercolour paper and inked to match the background. I stamped and embossed my sentiment in black. Added a few rhinestones to the center of the flowers and stamping.

Dies Used:

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Pierced Stacker #4 (Set of 6) - XL-22

Sentiment Frame #2 - B190

Let Life Surprise You by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi everyone, It's JULIE hosting today and I am showcasing the wonderful new Rooster and the Floral Bouquet Kit which has beautiful flowers and amazing foliage dies in the set.

As you can see I decided to turn my Rooster into a Weather Vane, so let me take you through my steps.

In this photograph I had embossed the two middle sections and the right hand rooster on my mat to fluff out the feathers. Layering them onto my flat die cut rooster.

I finished off with a complete Rooster on the top Layer.

This photograph shows the elements I cut out from the Ships Compass, you will see I also cut the letter 'S' so I could have it in a different position on my Weather Vane. I also painted a Barbecue Skewer with Black Gesso and used two arrows from my fun with arrows set trimming the point off one and the tail part off the other.

I then hid my join behind the Barbecue Skewer.

My floral arrangement I added Glossy accents to my Berries and my yellow flowers have Flowersoft in the centres.

I finished my card off with steampunk corners, touches of bling and small dried cream flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and the continued comments you leave, I love reading them. You still have time to enter our Current Challenge - Lots of Layers to win a $20 shopping spree here at Cheery Lynn Designs. Good luck to all entering.

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. In Scotland the Songbirds are all starting to sing. It's so lovely to hear them happy now that Spring has arrived.....unless it's 5 o'clock in the morning ! So my card today was taken from inspiration of the blossom filled trees and these beautiful birds.

I started by layering up a couple of my stacker dies to form the frame of my card. I love how the inverted scallops give the appearance of a postage stamp edge.

My branches were all cut out in textured Green Cardstock and I went over the branch area with a Brown Copic Pen. I then shaded a small piece of White Cardstock with a few shades of ink and then die cut out my flowers and added a little Stickles into the centres.

My sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper.

My sweet little birds were shaded with Distress inks to look like a Robin and a Blue Tit. I added a drop of Liquid Pearls for their eyes and highlighted the details of the die with a Fine Liner pen. If you google an image of the kind of bird you want to colour on your die, I find this makes it easy to shade them.

Our Current Challenge is Mothers Day and I do hope you get a chance to join in for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the wonderful comments you leave. I love reading them and appreciate them so much.

Heartfelt Wishes Card by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Corina here, I have a Heartfelt Wishes Card to share with you this week.

First, I created the flowers inspired by the pattern paper, then designed the card. I used pewter embossing powder on the flower centers, Tropical Flourish and the sentiment. I embossed the leaves from the Rose Leaf Strip and the Miniature Rose (center of large flower) with holographic embossing powder.

Above is a view of the depth and dimension that creating with the variety of Cheery Lynn Flower dies allow you to achieve. Love it!

This card came together with ease - I have not had such a good, ideas working out, time flies by, relaxing creative night in along time!

The base was created by layering two pattern papers on to a white card base. I covered the seam with a die cut from the Deutschland Border Set. I cut out the Coved Rectangle Classic Stackers in pattern paper and white cardstock. I embossed the white cardstock with my Heartfelt Wishes sentiment. I matted each on a Scalloped Coved Rectangle. I used the Ankara Lace Border on the left hand side of the card and layered my flowers, leaves and flourishes on top.

Dies Used:

Deutschland Border Set (set of 3) - B523

Judy's Blooms - C184

Olive Branches - B147

Miniature Rose - B152

Rose Leaf Strip - B241

Daisy Strip - B259

Best Wishes Dove Card With Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello and Happy Friday!

Today I wanted to share my Anniversary card that I created using the new Peace Dove die from the Cheery Lynn Designs July 15th release!

I started with a layered base from pattern paper and cardstock. I added stitching along the edges of the layers with white thread. Next, I die cut the Royal Scandinavian Doily from black Damask pattern paper.

The Peace Dove was cut from Music note pattern paper. There is so much detail in this Dove, from the feathers on the wings to the delicate detail on the Doves body. So Elegant! I also added two gold circles for rings.

My black embossed sentiment was stamped on to the Royal Scandinavian Tag die cut from white pattern paper.

The Cherry Blossom flower was cut from white pattern paper. I die cut the smallest layer twice and layered them on top of each other. I added a center in gold cardstock from the Embellishment #2 and added a rhinestone to the center. I used the leaf from the Rose and Leaves set and pieces from a Fanciful Flourish tucked into the sides.
