Hello Beautiful by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, it's JULIE here hosting the blog today.

My card uses one of the many pretty background designed Dies. I started by cutting this out in pearlised cream cardstock and mounted onto the same card to form the base of my card. Cheery Lynn's word dies come in two different sizes which are great for layouts and cards. I decided to use the smaller Die on my word Hello and the larger Die on my word Beautiful.

My Daises were cut out in the same cream cardstock adding Distress Ink onto them and Prills into the centres. I mounted them onto my Ivy Corner Flourish which I also arranged a few extra leaves using my Ivy Strip Die and finished with some Butterflies.

Always Remember by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and my card this week showcases some of the beautiful flowers available at Cheery Lynn Designs.

My card has been made using papers from Maja Design starting by cutting and tattering the edges of my base layer which measures approximately 6 inches square, I then layered my stamped sentiment placing it behind my die cut frame with a lace Border.

My flowers have a variety of centres, my large flowers have been inked at the edges and my die cut centre added which is formed by rolling the die cut around tweezers and gluing in place.

Once dry you simply fan out the rolled die cut add a little Ink for definition and glue in place.

My smaller blue flowers have a blob of Glossy Accents in the centre and Micro Beads poured on top with a sprinkling of Glamour Dust for added Sparkle. Finishing my card off with a spritz of white from my Chalk Markers.

Be My Valentine by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I thought I would share some inspiration for Valentines Day using the beautiful intricate Doily called Sophie's Heart as my pretty backdrop to my card.

My flowers are made using the Sweet Williams die strip cutting them out in white cardstock and inking at the edges with Distress Ink. Next I sprayed the petals with a little water and added folds to each petal drying with my heat gun. I added several layers to my flowers finishing with a few pearl stamens.

My flowers were mounted onto my card with a mix of leaves and flourishes for added detail and interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope my card inspires you to make some pretty flowers or a Valentine card for a loved one.

Crafty Hugs,

A Birthday Recipe by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing some Birthday inspiration with you in a vintage style.

I have added some pearls and cheesecloth to my stars and Sister word with a drop shadow effect.

My sentiment was stamped and a little Stickles added to the edges mounting onto my die cut layers with foam strips and another touch of cheesecloth.

My flowers were cut out in white cardstock inking the centres with a soft pink shade and moulding on my embossing mat to shape the petals and finishing with a pearl centre.

Just for You by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today. Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments during our blog hop both here at Cheery Lynn and on my own blog, I so enjoyed reading them. Today I am showcasing the new - Just For You die.

I started by using White Cardstock along with my IOE plates and Embossing folder to make my background. I inked my card with Milled Lavender to highlight the embossed areas, tattered the edges of my card and added a sprinkle of Frantage for a shabby feel.

My Just For You was heat set with Milled Lavender Distress Powder and layered onto my Oval and mounted onto my Quadrafoil Doily with a little cheesecloth for extra detail.

My flowers and leaves are all cut out in White Cardstock. I shaded my Dandelions with Bundled Sage Distress ink at the stems and added Milled Lavender Distress Glitter onto the flowers. The centre of my Chrysanthemums is Micro Beads and a little Distress Glitter into the centre of my Sweet Christine flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Have a lovely weekend.

Happy Crafting,

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.

Wonderful Friend by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny back today sharing a friendship card. I was inspired by the 3D Daisy Flower die. After I cut, colored the rolled the 3D flowers with my quilling tool, I thought I'd make purple flowers to complement them. Once I cut and colored the miniature roses and the larger Sweet Williams flower with spray mists, I realized that the flower colors complemented a piece of Prima patterned card stock in my stash.

I cut the card stock, distressed the edges, glued it to a white 5.5" square card and then added the Princess Garden window on top before arranging my flowers and adding the words Wonderful Friend.

Enjoy by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a card inspired by Cheery Lynn's new Autumn Colors Challenge. I began this card by cutting a light blue piece of card stock with the Card Cover Maker #4 and gluing it to an A2 layer of glittery patterned paper.

I then cut Enjoy and the butterfly from the Small Exotic Butterflies #1 die and colored them with distress ink. To make the flowers I used the Black Eyed Susan Strip die and sponged yellow and orange distress ink on the centers before molding them with a styling tool and gluing the petals together. To finish off the flowers I used a quilling tool to curl the centers that I had colored with green and brown distress ink.

I added greens and mushrooms around the flowers, glued the butterfly in place and then added stickles to the butterfly's wings so he'd sparkle like the background paper.

Trick or Treat by Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends! It's Karen sharing another

new release card with you today!

I first started by creating my card base in orange designer paper.

Then, layered a black and white designer paper to that top.

Using the Expandable Tiny Borders and Border Carnivale,

I added these layers and tucked them under the main

small diamond designer paper!

Next, I die cut the Trick or Treat die, and distress inked the

sentiment in several colors. I poured some distressed crackle, and once dried,

I distressed inked in some walnut stain distress, so that cracks

would really stand out!

Then, I cut out the Rose Leaf Strip,

Build a Flower #1 (for center of flower), and the Daisy Strip! Each piece

was distress inked and I also added some distress glitter to the flower center!!

Finally, I die cut the Horrible Cat and two of the Jack-O'-Lanterns!

Then, poured some distressed glitters to the top of each of these dies.

I just love the sparkly and amazing texture this adds to the dies!

I also added a few Ivy Strip die cuts to the top of the smaller pumpkin and

also to the top of the medium size pumpkin.

I added some Glossy Accents to each of the ivy leaves for some added shine!

You would be amazed at the sparkly, shiny and crackly texture on this card!

Here's the full list of dies used:

B594 Jack-O'-Lanterns

B181 Build a Flower #1

B259 Daisy Strip

B215 Expandable Tiny Borders

DL129 Border Carnivale

Still time to join this week's challenge for a

chance at a $20 shopping spree to the Cheery Lynn on-line store!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Karen

Nature Themed Dies with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Greetings and happy Thursday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

For today's project I mixed a few of our nature themed dies (Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath, Cattails and Reeds and Quill and Ink Pot) together with our pretty Lilith Edger and Dutch Daisy boutique stacker frames to mix things up a little bit. I think it takes on a soft and romantic feel.

I started with a base white A2 cardstock background, then added the Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker Frame to it. Next, I cut a Cardmaker's Rectangle Scalloped, then used the Lilith Doily Edger on one side. Next, I cut the Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath and the Horizon Fishtail Banners.

The medium Horizon Fishtail Banner is a bit long for the card, so I cut a little bit from the middle and adhered behind my pink Scalloped Rectangle and Edger cut layer. I cut the Coved Rectangle and adhered behind the pink Scalloped Rectangle.

I used the Quills and tucked them under the banners, then the Princess Tree was layered as well and tacked down with the flowers arranged on top. Here you can see the dimension of the Sweet Williams and Darling Daisies. The Tiny Fanciful Flourishes are tucked in under either side of the flowers.

Lattice and Trellis with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Happy Thursday to you, it's Rhonda here today to host the blog and share a project.

Cheery Lynn has some gorgeous frame dies and I particularly like the Lattice background. I also really love the Trellis die, it always adds a bit of charm to your project.

I started with a white cardstock A2 base, then cut the Lattice Frame from light kraft cardstock and adhered. Next I cut the Polynesian Sails Oval in a pretty blue, then attached. The next layers are the Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker (medium) followed by an Oval Scalloped LG Stacker.

The Trellis was cut from kraft cardstock, as well as two different frames from the Sentiment Frame #2 set which I added a rub-on sentiment to. The top sentiment frame is adhered with foam dimensional dots so the Add A Flourish and foliage could be tucked in.

The florals were arranged and a few smaller flowers were added from the Tiny Flower Kit. Some gems in a variety of colors finished the card along with a tiny bow.

Spring Birthday Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Corina here with you all, to host the blog and share this weeks card creation. As you may notice, my card is all about Spring! Flowers, twigs and foliage!

I used a piece of thin Cork and die cut it with the French Flair Classic Stackers and the Adaptor Plate. The Cork cut out very easily - one run thru my die cut machine! I then cut my pattern paper with a smaller French Flair Classic Stacker from the same set.

I layered these on a piece of pattern paper, which I rounded both top and bottom right side corners.

I used the Old Barn Board as a base for my Sentiment. I added the foliage before I adhered my Sentiment to give depth by layering. I also added three pink rhinestones to draw your eye to the sentiment.

The small dragonfly from the Tiny Things with Wings set was inked with blue and only glued in the middle (body) so I could lift the wings up for dimension.

I created three large flowers, four small flowers, and two rose buds. I chose pink and blue hues to compliment the background pattern paper.

I also used the Dandelions, twigs and various foliage to fill in my floral arrangement. Rhinestones were added to the center of each flower.

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!

All About Flowers with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Happy Monday to all of our Cheery Lynn Designs crafty friends! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you. If you're new to Cheery Lynn Designs, welcome!

Have you seen the new challenge theme for this week? It's all about Die Cut Flowers! I wanted to feature some of my favorite floral dies on my card this week.

"Always" (A2 Vertical Card)

My card features our Dandelions, Tea Rose Small, Tea Rose Medium and Sweet Christine flowers. The anchor of my design is the Ankara Lace Doily with Angel Wing.

I used a bit of Diamond Stickles on the Dandelion tips for interest. Some cheesecloth and a raffia bow were final touches along with the Add A Flourish that I tucked between my Sentiment Tag 2.
