Flower Pop Up by Debbie Brownmiller

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today.

Today I am featuring the Pop Up Flowers.

I used a flower patterned paper for the front of the card and matted it with green and white cardstock. I layered the Clock to the right side of the card. I cut some flowers blooms from the Pop Up Flowers. I colored and shaped them. I layered the Fanciful Flourish and the Mini Fanciful Flourish in a couple of places and then layered the flowers onto the flourishes.

Here is a photo of the inside of the card showing the Pop Up Flowers. A piece of matching paper was layered to the inside. This is one of my favorite pop up dies from the collection. Cheery Lynn Designs does have a nice selection of pop up dies to choose from. I hope I have inspired to try creating with the pop up dies. They really do make people smile.

Thanks You for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave.

Have a wonderful craft day my friends.

Birthday Wishes and Soft Colored Dreams by Chrissy Mac

Chrissy Mac Designs 3:00 AM 4 Comments

CLOSE UP OF MUTED PEACH DOILY AND BIRTHDAY WISHES SENTIMENT

Greetings! Chrissy Mac here with another custom card project using some awesome Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts. One of my favorite cards to make are Birthday cards. There is always a birthday to celebrate around the corner. I'd like to say that I make all of my cards ahead of time so that I am ready to give that special someone a handmade card, but it just never seems to quite work out that way and so I end up making one that matches the gift wrap or gift bag on the present or that matches a theme I have decided upon. This one was for a friend who wears a lot of spring colors and so this is very fitting to her personality and style.

I really like square formats and decided to make this card 6.5" x 6.5". Besides the occasion or person providing my guiding inspiration, there is always an artistic element or sometimes a few of them that guide and inspire my creative process.

BIRTHDAY WISHES AND SOFT COLORED DREAMS HANDMADE CARD

For this card...one word...DOILY! Cheery Lynn has the most amazing assortment of doily style die templates and here I used the French Pastry Doily which is definitely one of my faves. On the blue doily under the flowers I simply cut out the center and made a cut so that I could then fan fold it to give it some dimension and provide a nice background for the lovely dimensional Daisies made with the Cheery Lynn Designs Shasta Daisy die.

Have I told you how much I love paper flowers? No? Well then...I LOVE PAPER FLOWERS! You just can't go wrong with handmade dimensional flowers. Since I try to recycle or up-cycle on my crafty endeavors, for the center of the flowers I used some fake pearls from an old broken necklace. Score!

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.

Dies used:

Royal Scandinavian Doily (Set of 2)

Peace Dove - B605

Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 - B545

Cherry Blossom - B129

Laughter Card with Corina Finley

Corina 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

Hinges (Set of 8) - B399

Ivy Strip - B304

Fanciful Flourish - B117

Mini Fanciful Flourish Right - B291

Embellishment #2 - B188

Tiny Flower Kit (Set of 3) - B376

A VALENTINE SPECIAL CARD BY ANITA KEJRIWAL.

Anita Kejriwal 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello dear friends !!!!

Hope you all are fine. Its Anita here with a very special card for you in the Valentine month. Yes !!! February being the valentine month, I have made an Easel card and used lots of dies to give it very intricate look. Plus I have used my favourite Magnolia tilda stamps.
Another feature that I want to highlight here, is the way I have used the dies by some fussy cutting. For ex. The base of the card has the Anastasia border die. After cutting the die, I got not one but two edgers and both can be used beautifully. Here is the picture of the die after being cut.

Again, I have done fussy cutting on the doily die and used it as an ornate label. I have cut the top and bottom of the lords-commons-doily-set-of-2 and cut along the straight at the top and bottom. Then, I used a small rectangular piece with sentiment and sandwiched between the two. So here you have a beautiful tag.

Then for the flourish, I have again cut the fanciful flourish into many parts and used it at the base.
So after having a good look at your die, one can give it a new look by some cutting.
Now to my card. I love making such cards. They make me happy.

End of Summer Time by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's Julie here today. Can you believe we are at the end of August already. In Scotland the nights are starting to get darker earlier in the evening and my beloved little Robin has re-appeared back in my garden. All signs summer time is about to end and the clocks will go back soon and winter will be upon us. So this is where my inspiration for this weeks card came from.

My card is 8x8 in size and fits the Mega Doily Die perfectly. With this die cut I used patterned paper, dry brushed on some Gesso and inked the edges to give a shabby feel. My Clock, Victorian flourishes and corner dies were cut out in a lilac shade of paper. I stamped a crackle stamp onto the clock and corners and then inked the edges on all these die parts and once again dry brushed some Gesso on.

I added some glitter glue onto my clock face and little diamantés.

My flowers all started off as white cardstock. They were cut out and I added different shades of ink, a little stamping onto the Shasta Daisy for texture and a little flower soft into the centres. My leaves were cut from green card stock and the edges inked.

My butterflies were cut out in pink patterned paper and I used the angel wing to cut out the back of the butterflies in white cardstock, again inking the edges.

Cheery Lynn Dies used-

Thanks for stopping by today and for your continued comments and likes on Facebook, I really appreciate it.
Good Luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

See you all next Saturday,

Julie x

Cherish Card by Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello! Corina here with you today on this last Friday of June - Time flies when you are creating!

This week I thought I would play with the Black Eyed Susan Strip flower die. This strip die has 4 flower layers - I used only two layers to create this flower. The Die also has a centre for the Black Eyed Susan which I did not use for this flower today.

I inked each with blue ink and then misted both layers with water. I gave the water a few seconds to soak in and then I twisted each petal (pinching the tips) in the same direction. I allowed them to dry and sprayed with homemade glimmer mist.

I then layered one on top of the other and added a pearl brad. I love the look of this flower - so whimsical! I hope you try to make one and let me know how it turns out!

Dies used:
Flourish Leaf Strip - B178
Fanciful Flourish - B117

Happy Easter with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I've created an Easter themed card this week. It's coming up faster than you realize, especially when you stop into your local department stores. Ha! At any rate, I was inspired to create something Easter themed this week.

"Happy Easter" (Step Card)

Some details...

I started my design with the Spring Basket 2, then changed my mind. I had it cut out with that cute bunny and I then knew I wanted the sweet bunny to be a part of the design. I've added a touch of cheese cloth here and tucked in some barbed wire behind the layer.

For the bunny's tail, I took a bit of a cotton swab and pulled it apart, then glued into place with my Glossy Accents. Copics were used to accent some color on the bunny also.

I love that the Step Card die set has every piece included in the set!

If you love the look of an elegant card, consider giving the Step Card die set a try. It really makes creating a beautiful and unique card design an easy task.

Vintage on a Monday with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Happy Monday crafty friends! It's Rhonda here to host the blog for you today.

Today's project has a bit of dreamy vintage feel to it. I was so very inspired by our last Flowers challenge winner's Sathya's project color scheme, I thought I would use it for today's color inspiration. Thank you Sathya!

I started with a layer of vellum, then the gray Fiona's Magic Mirror Cut. A bit of cheese cloth was added on the bottom edge of the Mirror frame. Next the Celtic Oval Frame was tacked down with some Glossy Accents touched around the inner edge of the frame.

The Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker Frame was cut and then foam dots placed on it to add dimension. Bits of cheese cloth were added all around to soften the frame and lace a bit more. The Tags 2 dies were cut and angled and attached to anchor my floral cluster.

The bow is mixed in with the florals and leaves. This was such a fun and sweet card to put together!

Fiona's Magic Mirror - FRM140

Follow Your Dreams

Holly 3:00 AM 4 Comments

Hi friends! It's Holly posting today, and this is my last guest designer post for Cheery Lynn Designs. I have truly enjoyed creating my projects to share with you this month, and I hope you found some inspiration from my pieces. Many thanks to Bj and to Sandy for asking me to be a guest designer and for helping me out. For my final project, this piece really speaks to my heart. I was able to follow my dream this month as a guest designer, and it has been a blast.

I used the following dies on my project:

Circle Classic - Silver Stackers

Turkish Lace Doily with Angel Wing

Coved Rectangle - Classic LG Stackers

Hinges Set of 8

Fanciful Flourish

Fanciful Flourish Left

Sweet Williams Strip

Black Eyed Susan Strip

I covered the Hinges with Tarnished Brass Distress Stain, let them dry, and then lightly sanded them for that vintage look. I cut out the Sweet Williams flowers from white paper, rolled the edges of the petals into a peach-colored ink pad, curled the petals with tweezers and then assembled them with a small antique brass brad. I sponged the same peach colored ink onto the Black Eyed Susan flower petals and then curled the petals with tweezers before assembling the flower.

Here's hoping you have fun following your dreams! Thanks for visiting with me this month!

Flowers and Butterflies with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Happy Monday everybody! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I have an everyday card to share with you today. Sometimes you need a card to just say "Hello" or "I'm Thinking of You"… or a prompt that says "Just to Say"...

Just to Say (5"x5" card base)

After I started with my 5"x5" card size, I discovered that the Square Horizon Boutique Stacker Frame would layer perfectly behind it! I used a 1/4" corner rounder on my corners and attached the base to give the card a soft lacy edge.

The bird cage I cut, then I traced it onto some vellum to create a soft and pretty backer. I attached with a very fine amount of glossy accents just on the outer edge of the bird cage. This allows me to tuck in other elements if need be, like the Princess Tree or leaves.

A few details...

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

Dutch Scallop Square - DL140

Vellum Leaves

Holly 3:00 AM 6 Comments

Hi again! It's Holly posting today as the guest designer for February, and I've got a delicate card to share with you. I had this idea in mind for several weeks, but I didn't want to add any greenery because it would clash with the colors I had in mind.. Then it hit me - vellum! By cutting out all the leaves and flourishes with vellum, it gives my card a sweet and delicate look.

I've used the following Cheery Lynn Designs dies on this card:

Fanciful Flourish Left

Concentric Circles Mesh border

Coved Rectangle Classic LG (XL-10)

Try using some vellum for some of your die cut pieces on a project. It's a great way to enhance the look of your project without changing your entire color scheme. Thanks for visiting with me today! I hope to see you again next Friday. :-)

Flourish and Flowers

shulsart 3:30 AM 3 Comments

The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs is to Add a Flourish. Who doesn't love all the fabulous flourishes available in the store! I especially love that there are left and right versions as well as mini through extra large, so you can always find one to fit your crafting needs. My card began with the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames. I cut all three dies out of white card stock and then added card stock backers and designer paper centers. All of the paper is from the Basic Grey Cappella 6x6 pad. I also die cut the smaller of the bows from the Pretty Pretty Bow set out of designer paper. Next came the Mini Fanciful Flourish and Mini Fanciful Flourish Right.

I created the large center flower with my Daisy Strip die, but I cupped the center petals up for a different look. The last step was to tuck in some dainty blue flowers created with the Baby's Breath Flower Kit. These little flowers are so cool, just press down in the center with an embossing tool and you are good to go. Finished size is 5 5/8" square.

A Romantic Valentine with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog.

I have a soft romantic card with flourishes in pink, brown and green tones to share with you. This week's challenge is to add a flourish and I thought I would make a Valentine's style card to meet the challenge criteria.

I started with the largest Card Maker Scalloped Rectangle die, then cut a layer in the brown quatrefoil pattern from the Card Maker Rectangle dies. I thought some pretty border cuts would look nice and soft behind these layers, so I adhered from behind.

Each of these layers is attached with foam squares to give a little dimension and interest.

After adding the Oval Boutique Stacker, I knew I wanted to use the Lattice Heart and Vines on this card. The soft green vining behind it is the Celtic Heart.

I cut two Lattice Heart and Vines, one in a darker pattern that I trimmed the heart border from and and adhered to my first cut to help frame it. I backed the heart with some darker pink patterned paper to emphasize the lattice.

Diamond Stickles were added to the center of my Cuties 2 flower and the lighter colored vines outside of the heart and my Mini Butterfly. A bit of lightweight florist wire and a quilling tool were used to create my butterfly antennae. I used a glassine bag and cut a Tiny Fanciful Flourish and you'll see it spraying out from my butterfly faintly.
