Happy New Years 2018! With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Happy New Year Everyone! Welcome to the first card of the New Year 2018 with Cheery Lynn Designs! I had to use the fabulous clock for the center. It is layered with a english tea party doily.

The horizon fishtail banner is one of my favorite die cuts in the background. The pierced stars match perfectly with the pierced circle in the center of the clock. The sentiment is part of last New Years shaker.

I added some tiny stars in the corners....love black white and gold together....but you could also silver instead....

Pop Up Card and Tutorial with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Cheery Lynn Designs recently released a vintage collection of dies that is just full of great dies. I cut this sweet baby pram with one of the dies in that release. Isn't it just adorable?

I started with a 5 1/2" square card and added layers of design paper enhance the pram. The first layer from the bottom is cut with the largest die in the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames and the next layer is cut with the Square Frames 3 Piece Die Set. Scroll down and you'll find a tutorial for making this card.

Let's take a closer look at the Baby Pram. I die cut two prams, one from pink design paper and the other from cream cardstock. Then I cut the hood from the cream pram and glued it to the pink pram. Then I used some bling for the wheel hubs and hood attachment.

I love these Horizon Fishtail Banners. They come in a set of three and I diecut two different sizes and then cut them to the length I needed for this card. Then add a sentiment stamp and you've got an adorable card front! The stamp I used is from Graphic 45's Little Darlings collection.

Now for the pop up part! I used Graphic 45's new Penny's Paper Doll Family collection to make this card and for the inside I fussy cut a baby pram from design paper. I am a novice at pop-up cards and I will admit that they do intimidate me, so this one is nice and simple! I think it's really cute!

In this shot, you can see the pop up mechanism. I simply cut into the card 1 1/4" in two spots (where the wheels of the pram are) and then glued the pram to the face of the pop up mechanism. Easy peasy right? Ok, I did make a model from copy paper first. 😃

Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames 3 Piece Die Set - DL271

Horizon Fishtail Banners 3 Piece Die Set - DL278

Square Frames 3 Piece Die Set - CAFR23

B898 Baby Pram - 1 Piece Die Set

In making this card, I learned that pop up cards are not as difficult as they look. I put together this tutorial to encourage you to give it a try!

Step 1:

Cut a piece of cardstock 11" x 5.5" , score at 5.5" making a 5.5" square card.

Step 2:

Cut a piece of design paper 10 3/4" x 5 1/4". Score at 5 3/8" and fold on the score line to make the inner card. (Ignore the cut in the card for now).

Step 3:

Use the largest die from the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames 3 Piece Die Set to diecut the green layer (Forever Friends).

Diecut a large square from the blue print paper (Garden Path) with the Square Frames 3 Piece Die Set .

Diecut a pink (B side Garden Path) Baby Pram and a cream cardstock Baby Pram. Then cut the hood from the cream pram and adhere to the pink pram as shown.

Step 4:

Fussy cut the pram and the Special Delivery stamp from Mothers and Daughters design paper.

Step 5:
Take the inner card from step 2 and on the outside (such that the card opens vertically) shown in the below photo, measure in and mark from the left side 1" and 2 7/8". Cut straight down 1 1/4". Make another 1 1/4"cut at 1 1/2" making a 1/2" tab. Cut down from the 2 7/8" mark 1 1/4" Then make another 1 1/4 cut" down at 3 3/8" making a second tab.

Step 6:

Score the tabs only and fold the tabs in as shown below creating steps. Attach scor-tape, or use the adhesive of your choice, to the vertical facing only.

Step 7:

Adhere the baby carriage to the vertical facing, lining the wheels up with the steps so that they are hidden from view. Be sure that the wheels are just above the crease line so that when the card is folded, the carriage lays flat.

Step 8:

Trim the stamps and narrow blue border from the Beyond Borders paper to 5 1/4".

Step 9:

Adhere the stamps about 3/4" from the bottom and the narrow blue strip about 1/2" from the top as shown.

Step 10:

Stamp or add a sentiment above the stamp border as shown.

Step 11:

Now we'll work on the outside of the card. Adhere the diecut green design paper to the front of the card. Be sure you have the card situated so it opens vertically.

Step 12:

Center and adhere the blue square over the green paper.

Step 13:

Diecut a fishtail banner with the middle sized die from the Horizon Fishtail Banners 3 Piece Die Set from scraps. I used a scrap from Fathers and Sons. Trim the banner to about 2 3/4" and adhere about 1/2" from the right side.

Step 14:

Diecut another fishtail banner from the B side of Garden Path using the largest die in the set and trim to about 2". Stamp a sentiment and adhere over the blue banner, about 1" from the right side as shown.

Step 15:

Tie a cute little bow and attach over the banners.

Step 16:

Now glue the inner card inside the cream outer card taking care not to glue the cut out steps that serve as the pop up mechanism. That's it, you've made an adorable pop up card!

The Balloon Die from the New Vintage Collection with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

I love bright, bold colors and Graphic 45's World's Fair collection sure fits that bill! What could be a more perfect collection to show you the vintage Cheery Lynn Designs Hot Air Balloon die? It is part of the Cheery Lynn Designs new Veriloquent Vintage Die release. Isn't it pretty?

Again, using cut-aparts from the paper collection, I diecut a layer using the Horizon Fish Tail Banner to place underneath the sentiment, to make it really stand out.

The Ferris wheel cut-apart from the Graphic 45 collection is framed with layers of different sized diecuts. I used the Alpine Flourish diecut directly underneath the cut-apart. I placed a piece of cardstock under that and then a Scalloped Frame over top the yellow Purple Stacker . It's really great how Cheery Lynn's die sizes are coordinated so that you can make perfect layers.

Blessings by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a new card using some of my favorite colors. The peach color is a little more pink in real life. I was short on time but a beautiful background die and a good color combination can turn a simple card into a stunning one.

I started with a slightly larger than A2 pink card base and then layered the Lattice #1 die over a piece of aqua card stock. I then cut the Cherry Blossoms Branch twice. I was planning on cutting pink flowers to layer on top of the white stems but I decided to double layer them instead, offsetting them. I thought the card needed more of the pink for balance.

Last I added the Blessings sentiment on the Horizon Fishtail Banner die which was popped up with foam adhesive.

Thank You Love Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

Oh I am so happy that spring has landed here in The Netherlands as I am longing for some warmer weather and some vitamin D....next week it's going to be about 18 degrees and I can't wait for that. Well enough of me blabbering about the weather today. I would like to show you another card, this time it's made with the gorgeous "Summertime" collection by Maja Design and no flowers for me this time {well a little but no die flowers I mean}.

Thank You Love:

I am a hugh sucker for those DL278 - Horizon Fishtail Banners dies. The projects you can make with them are endless. I completed my card without any mixed media and that was really hard because nowadays all is mixed media....so no sprays, paste, etc, only a stamp with the word love.

Timeless Photograph 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

Today it's my turn again to show you how I used my precious "Cheery Lynn Designs"dies.

This time I made a 8x8 layout again {it's been ages since I did one} using a old picture of my mother in law, she is in her seventies now and on the picture she was just four years old, such a cutie pie...

I ordered some foam from England last week because I saw some lovely flowers made out of them on YouTube...and I have to say I LOVE that stuff. I am hooked now lol.

Timeless Photograph:

I cut out the flower dies times four then I used my heat gun to curl my flowers. This layout came out so easily. For the flower centers I used some stamen and a diamond gem on top of that. These papers I used are from such a thick quality that it's really easy to distress it.

In some of the dies I left the cut out bits and pieces because I really think shabby chic is all about that. The word stickers are inked with white ink and I added a treat underneath the picture. In my flower clusters I added some cheesecloth.

I really adore how much depth the flowers have with the foam & dies I used wow. I am totally going to make more flowers with my Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies on my next projects so keep a close eye on this amazing blog.
