Happy Cat-o-ween by Jenny Alia

3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a Halloween card featuring one of the new Halloween dies from the new Fall and Winter release.  This cat is perfect for Halloween but would be really cute on an all occasion or birthday card too.  It has a little spider dangling from it's tail but it's so simple to snip that off.  


I used a die that normally makes  flower centers to create the black flowers.  They are from the Embellishment #1 die and I love how light and airy they are.  The yellow-green flowers are small Tea Roses that have been embellished with green glitter glue and the black centers are from the Embellishment #2 die set.  The white flowers are Dandelions, I added them in for a pop of color and I like the texture.  I used them instead of adding leaves.


I cut the doily once out of black card stock and then the center of the doily out of whit paper.  I cut it out with a Classic Circle die from the L4 set.

Texas Rose by Jenny Alia

3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card inspired by this week's challenge Handmade Flowers and the state dies from the new North American Release.  This card began as a Cowboys football card but I can't seem to make a card without flowers, so I added some yellow roses and went another way.  My 11 year old recognized the Cowboys star and colors and seemed a bit annoyed that I'd make a card that celebrated a team other than  his favorite.  


It might be difficult to see but the large blue square was cut with the Square Pierce & Cut Tool die so that the pierced edge matches the edge of the blue Pierced Star.  I then layered a piece of white card stock that I distressed with a tool and distress ink.  The wood grain is a piece of design paper from Prima.  


Most of the die cuts were colored with distress ink.  The Tea Roses were cut with a light yellow card stock, sprayed with glitter spray, and aged with a little brown distress ink on the edges.  The white rose centers and the babies breath flowers are from the Embellishments #2 set.  The boots from the Arizona Cowboy set were glued to brown card stock and then cut out so that the detail would stand out.  I just love these boots, the detail is amazing.

Hello Card with Corina Finley

12:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello! Happy Friday! 

Corina here with you today to host the Cheery Lynn Blog. I have been showcasing Christmas Cards and Well Wishes Cards these past few weeks. Today is an "All Occasion" type card which was inspired by this weeks challenge Things with Wings - here on the Cheery Lynn Blog. 

When I saw the pattern paper - I just knew I wanted to use the cute Bee Die. Perfect Combo! I pulled a few more dies from my Die albums (how I store my dies - which I will share in the future!) and started to create!


I layered the Italian Flourish Tiny Doily on top of the Polynesian Sails Mini Doily. I then die cut a small and medium Tea Rose - inked and sprayed each and added the trio leaf that cuts out with each of the Tea Rose strip.

I think that Bee works perfectly! So easy to colour because it comes with the coordinating solid background die. I cut the top detailed layer from black cardstock and cut the back die in white. I coloured the white die cut and adhered the black detailed die cut on top. Added some glitter to make the wings sparkle!


My top right hand corner needed something! I cut the Tag from scraps left over of the pattern paper and cut the smallest of the Horizon Fishtail Banners.  I trimmed the banner to fit and added the flower, leaf and rhinestones.


Here is a closer view of the floral arrangement, Bees and sentiment banner.

Dies used:

Tiny Things with Wings - B266

Happy Card with Corina Finley

Hello!

So glad you can join me, Corina, for today's blog post! I have used three New Release dies on this weeks card - so lets jump in and take a closer look!

The three New Release dies that I used are the Royal Scandinavian Super DoilyPierced Banners and Leafy Flourish.


Above is a close up of the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily die, cut from white cardstock. I backed it with dark blue cardstock and add rhinestones for sparkle! This die is so elegant and can be used in so many ways.

In this next picture, I used the Pierced Banners and the Leafy Flourish dies.


I layered the large and small Pierced Banners die to the card base and added the Tags 4 die with my sentiment to the top right in the picture above.

I then added the Leafy Flourish die on top which was cut from white cardstock. I wanted more layers so, I added two petal layers of the Sweet Christine to the larger flower and two petal layers from the Embellishment #2 to the smaller flower. Added a rhinestone to the flower centers and down the side of the large Pierced Banners.


New Release Dies:

Leafy Flourish (Set of 2) - B571

Pierced Banners (Set of 3) - DL303


Previous Release Dies:

Sweet Christine - B434

Spring to Follow Card by Corina Finley

3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello Fellow Cheery Lynn Fans! 

Corina here with you today to share my Cherry Blossom Card.

I used Cheery Lynns lovely intricate dies, Cherry Blossom pattern paper, white cardstock, ink and silver embossing powder to create this card.

I first cut my card base and matte out of white cardstock. I inked the matte with pink ink and adhered it evenly on the card base. Next came the Cheery Blossom pattern paper cut to the same size as the French Lattice Small die which is glue on top.


I then cut the Polynesian Sails Oval doily from white cardstock. I trimmed an oval panel from the Cherry Blossom paper 1/8" larger than the center hole of the doily. I glued to the back of the doily center and used pop dot to raise the doily to the center of the card.

The Horizon Fishtail Banners is cut from white cardstock, stamped and embossed in silver. My sentiment was stamped closer to the right side.


I  created Cherry blossoms for this card using the Cherry Blossom die set, the stem/branch from the Embellishment #2 set, white cardstock and ink. I cut, inked, and formed my branch with blossoms. I am very happy with the way they turned out!

Dies Used:

Cherry Blossom - B129

Polynesian Sails Oval - DL153

Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies) - DL278

Spring Birthday Card with Corina Finley

3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Corina here with you all, to host the blog and share this weeks card creation. As you may notice, my card is all about Spring! Flowers, twigs and foliage!

I used a piece of thin Cork and die cut it with the French Flair Classic Stackers and the Adaptor Plate. The Cork cut out very easily - one run thru my die cut machine!  I then cut my pattern paper with a smaller French Flair Classic Stacker from the same set.

I layered these on a piece of pattern paper, which I rounded both top and bottom right side corners.


I used the Old Barn Board as a base for my Sentiment. I added the foliage before I adhered my Sentiment to give depth by layering. I also added three pink rhinestones to draw your eye to the sentiment.

The small dragonfly from the Tiny Things with Wings set was inked with blue and only glued in the middle (body) so I could lift the wings up for dimension.


I created three large flowers, four small flowers, and two rose buds. I chose pink and blue hues to compliment the background pattern paper.

I also used the Dandelions, twigs and various foliage to fill in my floral arrangement. Rhinestones were added to the center of each flower.

Dies Used:

Birthday (Set of 2) - B231

Laughter Card with Corina Finley

3:41 AM 5 Comments

Hello!

Corina here, hosting the blog for you today - Happy Friday!

For this weeks card, I wanted to create another background using Cheery Lynn Designs Embossing Plates and the technique that I shared in last weeks post.

I decided to use the Wood Grain Embossing plate and three Distress Inks: Gathered Twig, Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo. The difference in value and shades of brown, allows you to see all the amazing detail that this Embossing Plate has.


I cut out two of the Old Barn Board and glued them together. I stamped my sentiment with Versamark and used fine Black detail embossing powder. I trimmed two of the small hinges for brackets so I could hang my sign with twine.


For my Floral arrangement, I created two Daisy Flowers using the Daisy Strip. I decided to colour the flowers with alcohol markers for vibrancy and then added a little flocking to the inside of my flowers for pollen. I used an assortment of leaves and branches for my greenery in a few different green and tan shades.


Please take a look at my last weeks post regarding creating a Watercolour Embossed Background!

Dies used:

Old Barn Board (3 Dies) - B439

Crimped Flower Card with Corina Finley

3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn Fans!

It is Corina here with you today and I am sharing a card that I made last night! I started off playing with flowers of course! Trying a "new to me" technique on the light brown (Tea Dye) Cherry Blossom flower.


I lightly spritz the back of each layer with water and folded/crimped each petal with my fingers. I placed each layer to the side and let it dry. I then used my styles in the center around the small hole that is die cut into each layer. This gave each layer a cupped shape and the petal edges were not flattened.

I enjoyed making them and I know I will have to experiment on the other Cheery Lynn Flower Dies.


I also used the Clocks Embossing Plate to create texture and pattern to my card base. I first took my ink pad (Tea dye) and gently tapped on to the embossing plate. 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. Not only is my card base embossed but it is also stamped with ink! I love this technique!  

Try this technique out and enter it in NEXT weeks challenge "All about Textures" - here on the Cheery Lynn Blog. This new challenge starts on Sunday!


Dies Used:

Sweet Christine - B434

Song Birds

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a fun fold to share with you.  My inspiration came from a very lovely and talented lady.  Her name is Judy and she calls this fold a Horizontal Multifold.   As you will see, it is pretty simple to make but gives you a bit of a different twist for the times you want to add  that little something extra.


Here is a little closer look at the front.  I used Sweet Williams Strip and crepe paper to make the flowers.  With crepe paper you can make the flowers as full as you want because the paper is so thin you can layer many more die cuts to achieve your desired shape and fullness.


here is the inside


Here's a list of the dies used for this project:


I hope you have an opportunity to play along with the challenge this week and put in your entry.   The theme is Keep it Krafty (use kraft paper)!  With your entry you will have a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs!

Have a Cheery Day!

Creative Corners With Ann

3:30 AM 5 Comments
Hello Cheery Lynn Fans,
It's Ann here, I'm very happy to be back with my second post as a guest designer.
I have designed a card to play along with this weeks "Creative Corners" challenge.


Having accumulated a big collection of these amazing dies i wanted to use some older and newer dies on my card. I have used the lace deco I corners over gold and black script paper.
I love the rum punch doily and have used just the outside part of the doily as a focal point then layered this with wreath strip and tropical leaves. The die used from the tropical set is the largest die and makes great 'filler' leaves due to it's bigger size.
The flowers are made with sweet williams and daisy strip dies, the centers are on the BAF embellishments #2 die....This die is a must for your collection.
I finished off my card with a dream catcher, this is a newer die and so cute!

Here's a close up of my flowers.



Have a wonderful weekend and i will be back soon with another project to share.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:
B188 Build A Flower #2 Embellishments

DL240 Rum Punch Doily
B259 Daisy Strip 
B216 Wreath Strip

Thrilled to Share our new Guest Designer

3:30 AM 8 Comments
Today we have a special treat for you, we have a new Guest Designer for the month of June.  I know you are going to find her work super inspirational and she'll give you some great ideas for cards you can make.  So without further ado, let me introduce Holly Brown.

Holly has been drawn to the creative world since she was a little girl with a crayon in one hand and a coloring book in the other.  From counted cross stitch to flower arranging to cake decorating and handmade Christmas ornaments to rubber stamped cards and scrapbooking, she has played with many creative outlets throughout her life.  The art of creating something from paper and ink and dies never fails to amaze Holly.  She lives with her husband and puppies in Texas.

You can view more of her beautiful work on her blog :


Welcome Holly ....let's see what she has to share with us today. 


Hello everyone!  My name is Holly Brown, and I am thrilled to be here as the Guest Designer for June.  I fell in love with the Cheery Lynn Designs dies when I first saw their gorgeous doilies and borders and flowers.  Little did I know I'd be guest designing for them!  :-)  Many thanks to BJ and to Lori and Gini, the DT Coordinator, for this wonderful opportunity.

I tend to keep my artwork very clean and simple in order to keep the focus on one particular element.  I love to try new things - sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.  It's all about keeping things interesting and fun.

For my card today, I've gone with a slightly Oriental theme.  I was inspired by the new Vase dies and I wanted to see what would fit into this particular shape of vase.  The baby's breath branch from the Embellishments #2 set works perfectly!  I cut some of the tiny baby's breath flowers (Embellishments #2) as well as some of the larger flowers from the Embellishments #3 set and glued them down on the branch.  I added pearls to the four largest flowers.

For the vase itself, I wanted it to look like old crackled pottery.  I stamped the vase with a stained glass background and then covered it with Glossy Accents.  It was set aside to dry overnight and then glued down over the floral branch.

The Mesh Border provides the perfect little accent in the background.  You can see that I kept this clean and simple so that the vase of flowers remains the focal point of this card.  I hope you've enjoyed my first guest post today!  Come on back next Sunday for a fun and colorful card.  :-)

The Cheery Lynn Designs dies that I used today are:

Flower Cart

3:30 AM 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

The last time I was away on vacation I spied a gorgeous little cart where locals were selling fresh flowers on the side of the road.  I was really taken with how lovely it was and so I thought that this might make for some lovely inspiration for this week's theme "Lots of Layers".


The Daisy Lace Frame made the perfect roof for my miniature "cart on wheels" which I lined with some green vellum paper that I have been holding on to forever just waiting for the perfect project to use it.  This was it!

I am just in love with the tiny vases and can see that I will definitely be using these a lot!  I would love to hear your ideas on how you would use these little beauties.  For this project I wanted them to have some dimension but they are just as gorgeous when you use them as a single die cut : )

Here is a closer look


Here's a list of the dies used for this project:


B151 - Cuties 3
B188 - Embellishment #2
B265 - Embellishment #3
B303 - Baby Carriage (Handle Only)
B306 - Vase (Set of 4)
B308 - City Girl Edger
B315 - Ivy Corner Flourish
DL241 - Ambergris Doily
FRM118 - Daisy Lace Frame

I hope you can find some time to visit the challenge this week and put in your entry where the theme is Lots of Layers!  With your entry you will have a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs!

Have a Cheery Day!
