Whimsical Ladybug Tag

Hello again! Cherry here with you today with a cute little tag for you featuring some lovely dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I used the cute Whimsical Ladybug die.

I cut it out twice to give it a shadow effect and layered it on the Pierced Stacker 3 dies.

I added some buttons and the Olive Branch 2 piece die set.

From here I just added some ribbons and added Tags for some interest at the bottom. I think this would look cute added to a flower for Mother's Day to carry on the garden theme. Ladybugs are good for the garden! Thanks for visiting, Cherry

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.

B308 - City Girl Edger

DL102 - French Pastry Doily

Love You Card with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft. Today I am sharing a love inspired card using several dies that I happen to 'love' from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" brown card base. I backed a piece of pink cardstock with Stick It Adhesive and cut using the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2. I adhered the die cut to a piece of cream cardstock. I then trimmed that to 3-1/2" x 4-3/4". I layered that on to pink cardstock and then brown cardstock leaving a small border on each. Then I added some natural mulberry paper and wet the edges to tear leaving a feathery edge.

I created my Love You Sentiment in the same fashion. Apply Stick It Adhesive to the back of pink cardstock, cut with the Love You die and then adhere to cream cardstock. I then cut a brown base using the Square Pierce & Cut die. This was then backed with natural mulberry paper. I ran a piece of 5/8" Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin topped with 3/8" Sherbet double-faced satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon across the top of the main panel dove-tailing the sherbet ribbon. Then the sentiment panel was attached on top of that.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

B653 Love You Square

FRM154 Quatrfoil A2 Frame 2

LPC-1 Square Pierce & Cut Lge Silver

B147 Olive Branches

B435 Tea Rose Small

B436 Tea Rose Medium

The beautiful roses were created with the small and medium tea rose dies. I used both cream and pink cardstock to build the layers. I inked the cream using wadded wax paper and also inked the edges of both colors for definition. Then the leaves were shaped and the flowers were assemble. The flowers and foliage were added to the card below the sentiment.

The card was finished off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow using Sherbet and Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to pull out your flower dies and create some pretty flowers for your next project. Happy crafting!

Tropical Birthday with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello everyone! I'm here today to share with you my first cascading card made for Cheery Lynn Designs. I have been making some different shaped cards lately. So I wanted to make this cascading card using lots of tropical flowers. It was inspired from patterned paper by K & Company. You will see the patterned paper below.

Lots of "tropical flowers" in hot pink, orange, and yellow. The "olive branches" and "flourishes" were my fillers. The "olive branches" even match the green patterned paper too! I placed small pop dots behind the flowers for a bit more 3D look.

On the top edge I die cut "dancing doily" in white and fussy cut out 6 pieces.

I layered the "dancing doily" on the edge first. Next I placed leaves and flourishes and then placed the flowers on top. The "tropical flower" has 2 pieces, I die cut one in the color and then in white on top.

The sentiment was stamped in black and fussy cut out too.

Here you can see how it is flat for mailing.

Last, but not least...my patterned paper that was my inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today. I'm so excited to share the new release dies with you tomorrow. Make sure to check back here to see all the new January dies as well as some wonderful inspiration from the team! Today I'm sharing a birthday card featuring this pretty dragonfly. He's large and would be perfect for scrapbook pages too. He was cut twice and the one underneath was colored purple. I glued the two bodies together but left the wings separate so the second pair of wings would show. He is covered in glitter glue.

The lattice is half of the Lattice #3 left over from another project. I used it instead of one the doilies I usually use to back my florals. The flowers were made with the Tea Rose Medium die. I colored them with yellow distress inks, shaped them with a molding tool and added rhinestone centers. I used the leaves that are included in the rose die and added a few Olive Branches. The tiny white flowers on the Olive Branches are from the baby breath kit in the Embellishment #2 set. It's my first time playing with them but I love the detail they add to the floral cluster. Last, I cut Happy and Birthday with the same purple paper used for the background layer.
