Snappy Birthday! with Lisa Blastick

3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hello! Welcome back to another fun card using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts! I felt like making a birthday card since today is my birthday. I also thought about making this card for a friend that I know that happens to have his birthday today too. Only problem is he is 20 years younger....


I used an oval for my water, cat tails, reeds, wood, and clouds. Plus the fabulous crocodiles with tiny pearls on their back, nose and eye. Little white dots were dabbed on the cat tail. There is a bit of gloss on the raindrops. I wasn't thinking sad birthday but I wanted to add some extra blue on the card. There is grass on the inside. 


The sentiment was printed on my computer.

Spooky Scene by Jenny Alia

3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi friends, I'm back today sharing a Halloween card.  Now that's it's gotten so hot here in NY I'm looking forward to autumn weather.  I love Halloween and I've started to see things popping up in online ads and I was inspired to pull out my Halloween dies. 


 Most of the work in this card went to creating the background by blending inks and then spritzing with water until the colors blended.  I also added a spritz of a white dimensional spray.  

To create the grass behind the fence I layered two different grass die cuts.  The fence did was much higher but I cut off the bottom.  It's a beautifully ornate die but I didn't want the fence to overshadow the tree.  The moon was cut out of a platinum colored glitter paper.  Last, I added the bats for spooky vibe.

Hello with Lisa Blastick

3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello! Springtime is in the air! So I thought I would make a springtime card scene using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts. This card is 4.25 x 6 inches. I typically make 5 x 6, but with the stitched rectangle frame I made it a bit smaller. 


A couple of clouds, a whimsical tree, fence, a cat, grass 2, a butterfly, and tiny flowers it really came together quite quickly. 


I added tiny pearls to the centers of all the flowers. 


The sentiment was stamped in brown ink and fussy cut out. Tip:( I cut out the tree in green and colored the tree and branches in brown ink. I also cut out the cat in green and colored it brown to match the tree) :)



Thanks for stopping by today! 
Have a great day!

Easter Egg Hunt by Julie Lavalette

3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some more Easter inspiration with the super selection of Dies we have available.


I started by cutting out my chicks in lemon and white cardstock. I shaded the eggs with Tattered Rose Distress Ink and mounted them onto the yellow die cut chicks adding a drop of Black Liquid Pearls into their eyes. 


My rabbit was shaded with Iced Spruce Distress ink and a fluffy Pom Pom tail added.


My eggs were cut out of Craft Consortium’s Wild Rose Paper Pad and mounted onto background paper and fussy cut around the edges, finishing with lots of pink gems being added onto them for sparkle.

Fun at Easter by Julie Lavalette

3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration for Easter on my card using a selection of adorable cute dies.


I started by cutting out my Quatrefoil frame in white cardstock and using the beautiful Wild Rose paper pad from Craft Consortium I started to build my background layers adding a grass border to the edge of my basket and card.


My whimsical flowers I cut from the same paper pad making sure I placed the Die onto a patterned area of the paper to make my flowers look full of soft shades. I also added a flower to the centre of my bow.


My basket was cut out in Kraft Cardstock and I highlighted the embossed areas with a Fine Liner pen. My sweet bunny is holding a couple of small Easter Eggs and he has a fluffy Pom Pom tail.


Finishing off with a cute little Bird on a branch which is on sale at present in our Clearance Section along with a vast range of other dies, so do check it out.

Happy Crafting,

Merry Christmoose Card with Bonnie Garby

3:30 AM 0 Comments
Hello friends.  Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft sharing a Christmas card using the adorable Merry Christmoose die from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Don't you just LOVE this cute little guy?
I created a piece of mottled gray cardstock using the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink pad to use with the Aspen Forest frame die.  I was going for more of a white birch tree look and I was very satisfied with the results.

The adorable moose is really easy to assemble.  You cut the different pieces in the colors of your choice and then glue them together.  Easy peasy.  I went over the eyes, ear and mouth lines with a thin black marker to make them stand out a bit more.

I cut the sentiment twice and stacked it for a bit of extra thickness and dimension.

I adhered the grass strip to the bottom and tucked two legs behind and left two on top for a little more of a feeling of depth in the scene.

I topped my card off with a pretty bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using one of the pretty ribbons in the October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The center of the bow is adorned with a pretty Silver Stardust Rhinestone.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope I've inspired you to get started on your holiday cards.

Hi there.  Bonnie with you today from Make Time to Craft and I'm sharing a really fun and spooky Halloween card created with the incredible Ultimate Halloween 5 piece die set from Cheery Lynn Designs.  This set has so many pieces that you will never tire of it.
My orange background, pumpkin die cuts and the dark night sky background were all made using Distress Ink papers that I created.
The die cuts are very straightforward.  I simply cut them in the colors shown using cardstock with Stick It adhesive on the back.  For the pumpkins and tree, I added the colors that you see for the eyes, nose and mouth.  I added the cat in black on the tree as well.
I added some grass using the Grass Border 2 die and placed the tree in front of it and I tucked the pumpkins behind it to create some depth.
The details on the dies add so much character to the pieces.


My card is topped off with a shabby bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using Black Bold Plaid Check Ribbon from the September Halloween themed Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  You can also see two more ribbons from this assortment running across the center of the card under the main panel.  I topped the bow off with a wiggle eye.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  What is your favorite Halloween die set?

Walking Zombie by Jenny Alia

3:30 AM 4 Comments

 Hi crafty friends!  It's Jenny back today with a Halloween card using some of the latest Cheery Lynn dies from the Fall and Winter Release.  I love this Walking Zombie, he's got great detail and he can be dressed up in so many ways.  He's also really different.  I tend to collect Halloween dies and I have nothing like him.  He's an individual!  


 I began this card with a 5.5 inch white card base.  I then adhered an orange square cut with the Castle Edged Squares die. On top is a piece of patterned card stock cut with the Square Pierce & Cut Tool. It has a great little pierced detail edge. I cut the Zombie once to create the body and then again to make his clothes.  The shirt was cut out of green paper and his pants out of blue and they were aged using distress ink.  I added a little bit of red card stock behind his clothing and blue behind his eyes to accentuate his scars and eyes. 


The grass was made using both the Grass Border and the Grass Border 2 dies.  The little toxic beaker was backed from behind with black paper.  The Happy Halloween sentiment is from the new Witch's Skirt set.

Beach Box Card with Lisa Blastick

3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you today a beach box card using several Cheery Lynn Designs dies! This is my first box card and it was really was to fun to make. There are so many different sizes of box cards. This size is easy to place in an envelope to mail. It folds flat and is approximately 4 x 5.5 inches. There is a video on you tube by Meg Loven that is a tutorial on the base of the card. You can see it here. Thank you! 


On the bottom of the box I used "victorian picket fence" with some "grass border 2" because I was thinking of the fence sometimes you see along the beach with bits of grass. 


Here I used "ship's anchor" and I inked the chain in white. I placed a small sentiment on top. The "tiny flourishes" are throughout the box. 


I also wanted to add some "starfish" So I made two in white and two in kraft cardstock.   Then in the center I used  "lighthouses" in kraft cardstock and layered white cardstock behind the window openings.


All the flowers are from "sweet william" and I placed pearls in the centers. The largest ones were using all the flowers and as I made them smaller I just cut some of the larger ones out. 


The larger greenery pieces in the background are "fanciful flourish" and I cut them up and placed them throughout the few layers in the center.


One closer view of the center. 
Hope you enjoyed my fun beach box card!

Easter Basket by Jenny Alia

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it's Jenny here today wishing you a Happy Easter!  This card was centered around this fun Easter Basket.  I cut out the Easter Basket twice and colored the first one.  Using as scissor I cut the eggs and bow off the second basket, colored them individually using distress ink and the glued them on top of the first basket.  To further embellish the eggs I added glitter glue.  The basket is popped up with foam adhesive.  I like how the glitter glue made some of the ink run and the eggs look as though they'd really been colored with dye.


This is a step card using the Step Card Bundle Set #3.  You can see a video HERE explaining how the step card die works. I glued rectangular strips of green card stock to each of the steps before adhering grass to each.  The shorter Grass Border 2 was glued to the first two "steps" and the Grass Border on the two background steps.


I cut a top fold A2 size card with the step die and then used the main die in the Step Card set to cut a piece of dotted patterned paper.  It was easy to then fold the paper and cut away the bottom portion of the dotted paper with an Exacto knife.  The background panel was made with a piece of patterned card stock with a Lattice #2 overlay.

Happy Easter by Julie Lavalette

For our March Blog Hop Featuring IOE Plates and FRAME-IT Embossing Folders, please click HERE.  


Happy Easter Weekend to all our lovely followers. It's JULIE here today hosting the blog. Thanks so much to everyone for stopping by my own Blog for our current Blog Hop, I was overwhelmed with all your lovely comments. This week I have made a Spring card filled with Easter inspiration.


I started by layering 2 layers of paper onto my base card adding Stickles at the edge for a touch of sparkle. I layered on part of my doily as an accent, this helped my Basket pop from the design against the busy floral paper.


My Happy Easter was layered twice for a shadow effect, adding my branches and flowers which had been shaded with Copics.


My sweet Easter Chicks were shaded with Distress Inks. I coloured their feet and beaks with Copics and finished them by adding a little black liquid pearls onto their eye. Mounting them onto the Grass Border Strip.


My Basket I die cut in purple cardstock and then used our Special Effects technique demonstrated HERE to get the background. Layering in my Eggs with a touch of Silicone Glue and adding a little Satin Bow.

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Current Challenge - Anything Goes and please check out our current Blog Hop HERE.
