Happy Summer by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, its JULIE here hosting the blog today and I am sharing inspiration using some of the fab Nautical Dies on my card which could easily be adapted onto a Scrapbook layout.

My card measures approximately 6 inches square and I started by adding some torn Shabby layers to my card using Maja Design papers along with some cheesecloth, micro beads and lace.

My Doily and Angel Wing were added to the centre of my card with foam strips along with an accent of the Ships Helm.

My Lighthouse was cut out in 2 patterned papers to form the stripes and backed with cream cardstock. My Anchor I highlighted the chain with a bronze coloured Promarker. I added some shells and dried flowers to compliment my Starfish and Sand Dollar Dies.

Amazing Summertime Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

There are some pretty amazing changes on this team! We now have new dies every month and a blog hop to introduce the new dies. And we are pretty glad that you are following us in this wonderful process so please keep doing so. With that being said I would like to show you a card I made {lately I can't find the time to make layouts, but that will come after the summer time}. Speaking of summertime, this card was made with that NEW collection by Maja Design - a surprise, if you visit my blog you could win that collection.

Amazing Summertime:

Behind the Quatrefoil I placed a piece of transparante sheet to make my card see through. That gives such a nice effect and it looks like your card has much dimension. I am in need of that vacation break so badly. I just need to work for another month {why does that sound so long?}. This card makes my heart sing.....

Yesterday I was making flowers all day to use on my cards and layouts in the next coming months. I am totally hooked, so when I am off work later today I will keep going. Wish me luck. On the picture below you can see how it looks with the see through part. Hopefully you are not getting tired of me using that collection.

Fabulous Summer 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:00 AM 8 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

Don't you just love the North America collection and did you already hop with us? I for sure had fun with the "Florida"die! But that's not all, there is a wonderful release coming up in May too.

I am so excited for it and I can't wait to show you my work.

Today I'd like to share a 8x8 layout I made with the "Vintage Summer Basics" collection by Maja Design and this time I went for the earth colors & blue.

Fabulous Summer:

The picture I used is one of my beautiful nieces Jamie who was born in Florida but now she moved somewhere else in the States. Don't you just love that sea? It's so pretty it makes me long for summer even more. On the base of my layout I painted with some white gesso and then I added some paste with a stencil of dots by Finnabair. On those dots I added some pretty star dust stickles to make it shine a bit. I also did that with the text.

The first time I was on this amazing design team I got the B394 - Ships Anchor & the B395 - Ships Compass as a new release and I thought well I need to use them again that's why I ordered the B279 - Sand Dollar & Starfish & the B267 - Seahorse Family to have more of those kind of dies.

Beach Box Card with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 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!

Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:

B117 Fanciful Flourish

Make a Wish by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. Thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my Halloween card last week, it was lovely to read them. This week I was inspired by the image of this little Sailor boy to make a nautical themed card.

My Lighthouse was cut out twice in blue Cardstock and once in white. I layered the White cardstock on to the blue, slightly offsetting for a shadow effect and distressed with ink at the edges. Next I fussy cut my blue stripes out and glued in place. I coloured the roof on the house with a brown Copic pen.

My Anchor was coloured with a brown and gold pen and a little Distress powder added for a rust effect.

I love the different designs you can get from the Lady Kate Edger and you can move it right along whatever your length of paper matching up as you go.

Finishing off my card with some Pearls.

Strong Anchor With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello everyone!

It's Lisa here today sharing another shaker card for Cheery Lynn Designs!

I really Love shaker cards and even though it takes a few extra steps...I find they are fun to make and recipients love them too!

I have been in a nautical mode for most of the summer...still thinking about the beach! This week's challenge is "In Stitches". I don't know how to sew with a sewing machine but I can make faux stitches. I used a black archival marker and with a template made black stitches all the way around the edges, on the shaker piece and on the waves of sand . For the shaker card I used the two largest A2 Frames Rectangle. Then cut it again with white foam. I used the largest rectangle in light blue and again with acetate to create the window for the beads.

I cut out the two Lighthouses in medium blue, one set of the Clouds and one set of the Birds from Bird Bath. I added a little light blue distressing ink to the birds. I diecut Ships Anchor in light blue and colored the chain with a black copic. I placed light blue and clear beads in the center of the shaker and placed the anchor on the top bottom corner. The stamp is on the outside acetate using staz-on black ink.
