Thanks Card by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.

Who is your greatest inspiration for creating? Well for me there are a couple ladies/men who inspire me to create, one of them is Gabrielle Pollacco {who doesn't love her work right??}! She has been a guest here for Cheery Lynn Design too a couple of years back. She got me inspired to make this card {especially the flowers with the white dots on them} so thanks sweet Gabi....sometimes inspiration is drifting off and you need some to make a DT project. Then for me I just have to look at some of my amazing friends and I know what to make.

Thanks:

Those sprays are made with the Sweet William Strip and they are really easy to make. Hopefully I can show you how I made them soon. I LOVE the burlap border, it's one of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn because you can use it for so many things {mostly for a background piece}. Here on my card I layered two of them slightly moved on top of each other.

For this card I used several 49 and Market collections. Since you almost only see Christmas/Halloween cards on the blog at the moment I thought, let's make something different to show off....oops I did that last week too hehe. I am not such a fan of Christmas. I think that's why I almost never make those cards.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B310 - Shasta Daisy
B307 - Sweet Williams Strip
B312 - Burlap Border
B682 - Quadrafoil Tag
CAFLRS-7 - Flourish #7

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies. You could also visit my blog at Amy's Pretty Papers for more inspiration.
Have a wonderful day!

Floral Notebook Cover for a 3-Ring Binder

Maggi 3:30 AM 2 Comments

I made this to slip into the plastic sleeve of a small 3 ring binder. I'm using the book in an assisted living facility so that visitors can make a note of their visits.

I created several layers to give this lots of visual appeal. Starting at the back I used the largest die to from Coved Rectangle Stitch And Cut Tool - LG Silver Stitch Tool 6 Piece Die Set.

Next I layered in a cut-apart from the Graphic 45 Secret Garden collection. The pretty flowers were diecut with the Floral Bouquet Kit 8 Piece Die Set - B777. I added leaves with Flourish #7 Die - CAFLRS7.

On the bottom left corner I used Nesting Doll- Circles #1 3 Piece Die Set to diecut a circular doily to place behind my sentiment card. I also used the Ivy Corner Flourish Die to accent the corner flowers.

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:

Nesting Doll- Circles #1 3 Piece Die Set - CASO15

Coved Rectangle Stitch And Cut Tool - LG Silver Stitch Tool 6 Piece Die Set - LSC10

Flourish #7 Die - CAFLRS7

Vintage Layout with Maggi, Sept guest designer

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans! Maggi here today to share a layout I made for the September 15th Vintage challenge going on right now! That photo is me and I suspect it was taken on the first day of the 2nd grade. I used Graphic 45's ABC Primer papers to do my vintage look but as is typical of me, I had to add a bright splash of color with the red flowers.

I like to layer it up so I used the French Flair Pierce and Cut tool die to cut layers in different patterned papers.

I tend to mix and match my dies when I make flowers. For the flower above I've used Stacker Flower 5 on the bottom and the Black Eyed Susan Strip 5 Piece Die Set for the top layers and center. I really love that center piece! The flowers below are made with the Black Eyed Susan Strip die.

I used Flourish #4 and Flourish #7 to add to my floral clusters. Flourish 4 is such a nice large flourish that I tore it apart and tucked in pieces here and there.

Cheery Lynn Designs used:
LPC12 - French Flair Pierce and Cut tool
CAFLRS4 - Flourish #4
DAFLRS7 - Flourish #7
SF - 5 - Stacker Flower 5
B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip 5 Piece Die Set
B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit

Thanks for joining me today and thanks to Cheery Lynn for asking me to guest design this month!! Be sure to enter the Vintage challenge going on right now. You could win a $20 gift certificate to the store! You'll find all the details on the September 15 challenge post.

Lucky Canvas by Maggi Harding, September Guest Designer

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi friends, Maggi from Scrap, Travel & Bark back with you today. Are you wondering about the silly name of my blog? Well my blog started out not only as a place to share my paper art works, but also as a commentary on my daily life, our travels, and my adorable standard poodles. They are so silly and child like, that I often refer to them as little girls in poodle suits. My husband and I often load up the girls and take to the highway and that's where the name Scrap, Travel, & Bark comes from. Of course I have a mobile studio that I travel with!

I am so enjoying my guest design spot with Cheery Lynn. I am definitely a fan of these fabulous dies and let me tell you why. One pass through my Spellbinders Platinum and they are cut. I don't have to run it through multiple times to get a clean cut and the designs generally fall right out of the die. No more poking through little holes to get the design out of the die. I seriously love that!

Today I'm sharing a canvas that I made with Graphic 45's new collection, Off to the Races. I used some of Cheery Lynn's stacker dies as layers behind my focal point, the Lucky ephemera card. The red mat under the card is French Flair Pierce and Cut tool. There are 6 dies in that set, each one pierced around the edges so you could run a thread through it if you wanted.

The green mat under the ATC card is Pierced Stacker #3 and is such a pretty quatrefoil type shape. I really love this die and it comes with 6 nested sizes.

Cheery Lynn has many pretty doily designs too, this one is Italian Flourish Doily Die. I cut this one from ivory cardstock and I love how lacy it looks.

I made pretty red flowers to go with my canvas using the 2 sizes of flower dies in the Floral Bouquet Kit. Then I added some vines cut with Flourish #7.

Love this flourish die, it has quickly become a favorite and It's showing up in a lot of my work these days!

A girly layout with Maggi Harding, guest designer for September

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans, I am Maggi Harding from Scrap, Travel & Bark, and I am so thrilled to be here as the September guest designer. What an honor for me! Wow, do I ever love the Cheery Lynn dies, they are so fabulous. I love how the paper so easily releases from the dies and that you can cut through two layers of cardstock with the dies. I am a layouts and tags kinda gal with the occasional off the page project and card thrown into the mix, so today I want to share a layout with you that also goes along with the September 1 challenge theme to use lace. I love using lace and ribbons on my layouts so I used a pretty heart lace all around my photo.

I used the Victorian Romance Flourish in each of the 4 corners to set the base for my floral clusters. Then I added Flourish # 7 -CAFLRS7. To make those flourishes extra pretty, I inked them around the edges. Inking creates depth and I love layers, depth and dimension.

I have to have layers under my photos so I used the Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker - DL 251 to cut a large and medium mat for my photo.

I am totally a flowers kinda gal and I am totally crazy about the Cheery Lynn flower dies! I used the Black Eyed Susan Strip die B338 to create the pointed petal flowers and the Floral Bouquet Kit B777.

I especially love the black eyed susan center, it's so easy to make and looks so fabulous! I inked the edges of my flowers, shaped the petals with a large ball stylus and they layered them up.

Now flowers need some leaves around them to make them look realistic so I diecut leaves and berries with the Floral Bouquet Kit (B777). That kit is so versatile because you get two sizes of flowers plus pretty stems, leaves, and berries! I also added some Lindy's mist to the petals so that the color would be mottled and more realistic.

For these flowers, I used both the small and large flower in the Floral Bouquet Kit (B777). The center is made up of 3 small flowers. To make the small flower and the center of the large flower, I just pinched the petals together and gave them a nice scrunch.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

DL 151 - Victorian Romance Flourish

DL 251 - Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker

B338 - Black eyed Susan Strip

B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit

CAFLRS-7 - Flourish 7

Thanks for visiting Cheery Lynn today and especially for viewing my blog post. I'll be back next week with another project for you. I am so loving this gig, these dies are the best!!

Red Poppy Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello,

I am glad that you have joined me, Corina, for today's blog post.

I have created my card with no sentiment. I find that sometimes I want to create and don't always have a reason at that moment. Then at other times, I need a card and the cards that I have on hand don't fit the occasion - my added sentiments limit the card use!

I have created a lot of layers using the Square Stitch, Nesting Doll Circles, the Nesting Doll Circles Shapes and the Horizon Fishtail Banner. I added my Red Poppy flower created using Judy's Blooms and the center using the base of the Medium & miniature rose in black cardstock. Tucked in the Dandelions in a blue and various foliage in grey.
