Best Wishes by Jenny Alia

Hi everyone! Today I planned my card around this lovely Best Wishes Sentiment Square die that I just picked up on clearance at Cheery Lynn Designs. I love these word dies in squares, circles and ovals. It's so easy to build a card around them and the beautiful font creates a wonderful focal point on projects.

The square fit perfectly in many of the doilies and for this card I used the Dutch Daisy Square Doily. I used white and blue with a creamy tan thrown in to add to the bridal theme. I used my go-to Floral Bouquet Kit for the leaves. All of these leaves came from the same set. The flowers are actually from the Embellishments #3 die set. Cheery Lynn has such a wide range of flower dies but I wanted to play with something a little different and I liked the light, airy quality these created.

Birthday Wishes by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card inspired by blue flowers I saw on Pinterest. I love looking around over there. If you missed a blog post or want to see more Cheery Lynn inspiration you can follow on Pinterest too.

I started this card by creating the blue flower and choosing a background paper that coordinated with the color. Then I filled in the leaves from the Floral Bouquet Kit die, added the Birthday Wishes Circle on top of a circle from the M4 set and added a small butterfly. It was really a quick card to make, the longest part was probably accordion folding the leaves on the flower. I used six of the stacker flowers to create fullness. I hope you like the result.

To finish things off I added yellow stamens to the center of the Stacker Flower #5 using the Embellishments #3 die and then glued a gem in the center of the flower. Rhinestones were also glued to the butterfly and I embellished the leaves with glitter glue and the flower petals with glossy accents.

Happy Mother's Day by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, Happy Mother's Day! It's Jenny here with you sharing a card. I envisioned this card as a CAS (clean and simple) design with just the Japanese Garden Lace Oval and butterflies. Sometimes the reality comes out very differently and I thought the card needed more. I added a piece of designer card stock cut with the A2 Rectangular Scalloped Frames behind the oval and then built the card. The butterflies were colored with distress ink and a cosmetic wedge sponge.

I glued the Happy Mother's Day to the center, positioned the butterflies and then glued the centers down, letting the wings fly freely. White card stock was used to make the Sweet Christine flowers in the corner and I added pink flowers that were made with the Embellishments #3 die. The leaves are from the Ivy Strip. They were cut out of the background paper and then colored with some brown distress ink. I wanted them darker than the background for contrast but I wanted to add some more interest by using patterned card stock.

World Traveler by Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello there, it is Karen here sharing a World Traveler notecard!

Today's card was inspired by fabulous new Paris Signs #2!

I wanted to make a themed notecard to be able to capture those

lovely memories of one's travels!

I used the new Curved Border Set down on the bottom part

of the card. It's been layered twice using two different pattern papers!

Loving the versatility of this border set, and I think you will too!!

Then, I decided to die cut the new Pierced Stacker #4.

To the top of the stacker, I die cut the Paris Signs #2.

Each of these layers is popped up for added dimension.

Next, I made three Black Eyed Susan flowers, and Flourish Leaf

using my distress inks! The centers of the flowers were die cut in

black cardstock using the Embellishments #3 die.

I added the Queen Anne's Lace Border to the top of the card!

Lastly, using the Royal Scandinavian Super Doily, I die cut it

and tucked it beneath the flowers for a delicate touch.

Dies used:

B548 Paris Signs #2

XL22 Pierced Stacker #4

B569 Curved Border Set

DL298 Royal Scandinavian Super Doily

B160 Queen Anne's Lace Border

Wish Big with Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn friends, Karen here sharing

a sweet birthday card with you today!

First, I used two of the stackers from the

NEW Heart Edge Square (set of 6) and die cut

them in two different designer papers!

Then, I layered the pink designer paper,using the Square Classic Silver Stackers,

onto grey designer paper to create a subtle backing!

This layer has been popped up using pop dots!

Next step was to die cut the most adorable NEW Eloise the Elephant die.

To make the "HAPPY" part of Eloise's tummy stand out, I backed

it with blue designer paper.

You'll see I also backed the toes, eyebrow, and eye with

designer papers too!

I also wanted her to stand out, so I added pop dots beneath!!

Lastly, I used the NEW Leafy Flourish (set of 2) with green designer paper

and tucked them behind the elephant.

I then layered four tiny flowers I created using

the Embellishments #3 die set, and added pearl centers to each flower!

To finish my card, I used the Sentiment Frame #2 die set

and stamped the sentiment!

List of dies I used:

DL295 Heart Edge Square (set of 6)

L1 Square Classic Silver Stackers

B562 Eloise the Elephant

B571 Leafy Flourish (set of 2)

I Like You with Rhonda Van Ginkel

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Thursday greetings to you and welcome to the blog today! It's Rhonda here to share a project with you.

Right now where I live, we are in the midst of a super sub zero arctic deep freeze. To brighten my spirits I decided to create a card with some cheerful colors and a hint of Spring to it.

"I Like You" (A2 Card)

I recently received a few new dies, one of which is the Dutch Doily Rectangle Frame and I wanted to use it. I layered it on top of a pretty cards tock base that had a floral design in the bottom right corner.

Next, I pierced the scallop interior holes in the Doily Frame for texture. I cut the Alpine Doily Flourish from a scrap piece of vellum and layered it in the middle of the frame.

Next, I cut several varieties of florals using the Sunflower, Embellishments #3, Sweet Williams Strip, Dandelions and Tea Rose Medium. I also cut a pair of Wheat Heads. I mixed up my Sunflower layers for fun. The Sweet Williams Strip florals were lightly misted, scrunched up and inked, then glued together.

I layered in the Bird on a Branch and then completed the card with a few crystals and pearls along with the sentiment frame at the top. A tiny bit of gold string added a little texture to the floral composition.

I hope you liked my card today!

Fancy Fold Card With Ann

Creative Options 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello from Ann, this week i wanted to share a fancy fold card with you.
It take's a while to construct but for an important occasion like a wedding, anniversary or significant birthday this card would be really special.

It has wings that fold forward and back so the card can stand on it's own.
I used the anastasia border to decorate the sides, it created a lovely lacey effect.
I wanted to use a victoria garden doily frame on the front but it was too wide so i cut it in half then overlapped the pieces, cut through the center again and discarded the extra sections. This way i was able to make the frame fit my card perfectly and added floral clusters to hide the joins.
The center portion lifts up to reveal an inside area where you can add a greeting. I intertwined a celtic heart around the mini pearl circle to frame it.

Thanks for stopping by and i hope you have enjoyed my card, I will be back again next week with my final post as a guest designer. All of the wonderful dies i have used are listed below.

Thrilled to Share our new Guest Designer

Holly 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 :

http://glitterstampsandink.blogspot.com/

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

Joann 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!

Spring Fever

Jodi 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hello! I have got Spring Fever and decided to create a fun springy card using my dies.

I started by cutting the Little Pink Bicycle twice and piecing the parts together. The flowers in the basket are from Build a Flower Embellishment #2. The Grass Border is layered twice, with the bike tucked between the layers. I inked the background onto a Classic Oval Silver Stacker, layering it atop the Scalloped Oval Stacker Nesting die. Of course we need a couple Mini Dimensional Butterflies! The Swedish Spring Oval Frame has the perfect dainty touch to bring it all together. For some fun texture, I embossed the yellow banner with the Flutter Bys Embossing Plate, and the card base with the Dotted Swiss Embossing Plate. The card base was then cut from the Classic Coved Rectangle Silver Stacker, layered with the Scalloped Coved Rectangle Stacker Nesting Die.

There is still time to enter this weeks challenge for your chance to win the $20 shopping spree!

Every Flower has a seed..

Tamara Morton 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hi all, welcome to Cheery Lynn's Sunday inspiration with me Tamara. Hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday.

My project this week is again a card, but I decided to use a sentiment stamp instead of a figure.. I'm in love with the new daisy strip, I find that these are just the perfect size (not to big and not to small)

I have teamed them up with one of the fringe flowers that are also fast becoming a favourite too.

The sentiment say's

Happiness Held is the seed

Shared is the Flower.

Don't forget to join us over on Cheery Lynn Challenge Blog for your weekly Challenge. The prize is a fabulous $20 coupon to spend in the Cheery Lynn Store..

Enjoy the rest of your day

Hugs

Tamara
