Hello! Liz here with my final post designing for Cheery Lynn Designs. It has been a sure pleasure and joy working along side this amazing DT. And the dies...oh my gosh, I can never use any other now! I just love them.
I don't know about you but I've got Fall fever! I love waking up to the crisp cool air and seeing the leaves begin to change. I made a layout using the super-detailed Dimensional Leaves.



I arranged the leaves as if they are floating off the Autumn tree. To make the tree I used several sized circles from the Little Stackers Nesting Dies. I used the twig shaped arms from the Frosty The Snowman die to make a few branches. (I love that trick:))





Other dies used on this layout:
Basic Optimistic Font alphas
Grass Border
Never Ending Love Hearts
Apple


I just HAD to make a Halloween card using some of Cheery Lynn Design's cute Halloween dies.


The Silly Spider is just adorable, I couldn't wait to use him. I hung him from a string (think web) and centered him in a black English Tea Party Doily die.

Well, that's all from me! Its been fun!!!!

Well, hello! Liz here to share another layout using dies from my favorite die company. For this project I kept the design very simple because I wanted the focus to be on the dies.



I used several of the flourishes and flower dies to create this flowing cluster of goodness. ;)



I added the apple, heart and key die to pull my theme all together.



I used the beautiful flourish ends of the gorgeous Lace Rose and Flourish die on either side of my floral cluster to draw an end with the eye.

Other dies used:
French Flair Nesting Die
Snowflake Edger
Garden Gate
Darling Daisies
Sweet Williams Flower
Judy's Blooms
Stacker Flower Leaf
Pretty Petal
Heart Chain Border

Till next week, have a fabulous day!

Hello, Liz here to share another project using these amazing dies. This time I'm going to share a card I made using Cheery Lynn Designs dies and this cute paper from Echo Park.


I love the way the Little Pink Bicycle complements the lamp post sticker. It really makes a cute scene. I embossed the top part of the card with the Petite Hearts embossing plate and the Embossing pads. Finally, I added a few Darling Daisies and a cut out of the Dotties Ric Rac border.



Check back tomorrow for more fun ideas!

Happy Thursday!!
I have another layout to share with you featuring fabulous Cheery Lynn Designs dies.


To make this layout I did a little bit of layering and then I embellished away with a great border die like the Embossed Scalloped Hearts border. And if you know me at all, you know I HAVE to include lots of flowers. My dies of choice this time are the Judy's Blooms, Tropical Flower and the Darling Daisies.

Howdy! Liz here to share another layout using these fabulous Cheery Lynn Designs dies.


I discovered a fun way to use the new Dotties Ric Rac die. I simply cut out two pieces and twisted them together. It looks like rope, which is perfect for my cowboy theme.

I used the newest sketch from The Scrappiest as my inspiration for the design.

More great dies used:
Circles Nesting Dies
Darling Daisies
Grass Border

~Till next time!

The sunflower from Cheery Lynn Designs is one of my favorite flower dies right now. Today I am going to show you how to make the most of your dies. So let's focus on how to make them come to life and look more realistic using the sunflower die.

1. First, cut out 2 of the sunflower dies along with the center using brown cardstock.


2. Brush a little ink along the edges of each petal using a burnt sienna colored ink pad. Its got a nice orangy-brown color to it. For the flower center, you can use any dark brown ink.


3.Pinch each petal with your thumb fingernail. This is key to giving the flower dimension and realism. You only need to do this to one of the flowers.


4. Now adhere both flowers together using a foam dot or some other dimensional adhesive. Make sure the flower with the pinched petals is on top.


5. Manipulate the flower's petals to give them have some movement. Add the brown center and place inked leaves under the flower. I used the leaves from the Judy's Blooms dies for this one.


There you have it! Here is my complete layout. Isn't my nephew just the CUTEST???

Have you ever thought about making a layout on something other than a traditional piece of cardstock or patterned paper? I have and today I'm going to show you a layout that I made on a calendar sheet. Sometimes we just need a little change. :)



The calendar sheet started out black and white so I added plenty of bright colors. The contrast really makes my die cut elements pop.



To make this cluster of orange flowers I used the Pretty Petal die. It's easy to make them look more realistic. I simply pinched each petal with my thumb's fingernail and adhered them onto my page near the colored wire. Each center has a dab of glitter glue.



For the fence, I ran it through my Big Shot with the Burlap embossing plate. I sanded down the cardstock just a little so you could make out the details. I also added a horizontal strip of the same paper over the fence which I pulled from the Wittle Wicker die. After all, the cute little red bird needs a place to perch. :)

Hello blog readers! Liz here to share another layout using FABULOUS Cheery Lynn Designs dies. I really do have so much fun with these dies.
This is my 3 year old niece. She has more character and wit than I've seen in a toddler in a long time. Yet every time she comes over to visit she is always really shy for about a full hour before she comes out of her shell. LOL!



I framed the photo using the outside edge of the Emperor's Swan die. (I'm going to save the beautiful swan for another project.)

To add a little interest I placed a French Flair Die in the white space along with a French Flair silhouette shape using the Spring Fling die.

I then layered away using plenty of coordinating colors and patterns. Judy's Blooms are my favorite flowers to use right now so I was sure to add a few of those. :)


Here is my complete list of dies used:

Spring Fling
Emperor's Swan
Floral Heart
Buttons3
Judy's Blooms
French Flair Stackers
Loves Me...Border
Micro Mini Alphabet

We've only lived in our house for less than a year so it was a fun surprise to see what flowers popped up during the Spring. We had so many tulips spring up(which are one of my favorite flowers) and it was gorgeous!


I cut out the medium butterfly twice using two different colors of paper and then I connected them together to get this 3D effect.


And of course all of the beautiful Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies came in super handy!



Here is my complete list of FABULOUS Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
Medium butterfly
Bird on a Branch
Bird on a Branch 2
Judy's Blooms
Dimensional Leaves
Darling Daisies
Pretty Petals
Garden Gate
Dotties Ric Rac border
Grass Border
Piercing Plate

I love my 'darling husband'. It's funny because when he saw that the LO of him was titled "DH", he asked, "What the heck does DH mean?" Haha! I forget he doesn't know much forum lingo.

I used the new Carnivale Border die to add a little more interest to the edge of my background patterned paper.
The Sunflower dies worked perfect as my main element. These sunflowers are super detailed and so realistic looking, I just love them. To add a little more dimension, I topped each flower with a Dimensional Button.

Everyone loves to get 2 for 1. Well, Cheery Lynn Designs knows that so many of their new Doilies and Exotic Dies are just that -2 dies for the price of one.
Today I used the "insides" of the Japanese Lace & Flourish Frame. They are just so pretty and perfect for a cluster of flowers on any LO or card.


Here's my layout:





I love finding ways to use the cute little bicycle.


You know I gotta' throw one of the fabulous butterfly dies in there. Cheery Lynn is famous for these. I matted the butterfly with a soft background color before jazzing it up with a pop of red glitter glue.


Here is my list of other great dies used:
Judy's Bloom
Darling Daisies
Dimensional Small Leaves
Never Ending Love

Hello, hello!
Isn't it fun welcoming a new baby into the world? Curious about what they will really look like when they're older or wondering what kind of effect they will have on the world.
This is my brand new niece, Emarie.
Its no secret I do not like pastel colors, clear and bright is best for me. I was sure to add lots of beautiful flowers for this "baby" page with help from Cherry Lynn Designs dies.




Isn't the sunflower so cute?




To make the butterfly really stand out against the white background I matted it on a red paper. It really makes it show up nicely.

sunflower
butterfly

I have a ton of purchased flowers in my scrapbook stash but I don't need anymore. Not since I discovered all of the amazingly detailed flower dies here. I love being able to choose the exact color I need when creating a card or scrapbook layout.


This flower die is called Judy's Bloom. Check out the detail.
