Summer Floral Birthday Card with Bonnie Garby

Hi Cheery Lynn fans. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a bright and pretty floral birthday card I created with the lovely Cherry Blossom die from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I'm so ready from summer right now and there's nothing like a red, white and blue color palette to scream summer. This color scheme works really well with the Cherry Blossom die, so I went with it.

Cheery Lynn Dies uses:

B775 Cherry Blossom

FRM153 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 1

DL303 Pierced Banners

LPC7 Oval Pierce & Cut Tool Lge Silver

XL7 Oval Classic Lge Stacker

I cut the Cherry Blossom die in green, red and pink Distress ink paper. I used the green as my base and then fussy cut the flowers in red and then the flower centers in pink and layered them to create the flower for the center medallion. The background was created with the pretty Quatrefoil A2 frame 1 die which I also adore.

My card is finished off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using ribbon from the Patriotic themed May Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The center of the bow is adorned with a star shaped pearl embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and happy crafting!

"It's a Boy" by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out . I am sharing a card I created using some of the dies from the last release which was the "Bohemian Collection".

Now isn't this a fabulous sun and moon perfect for a baby card? And such detail. And all the pieces that lift out to give them added dimension. Got to love these dies.

I cut the Bohemian Sun from some speckled paper and inked it up a bit. As simple as that and it was ready to layer onto the card. Along the bottom I layered the Anastasia Border which gives it a nice lacy look.

This moon is one of the dies from the Hippie Heroine set. Again just a little ink and it is done and ready to layer. Notice the leaves on the moon and the sun that pop out for the added dimension

Here I have used the Pierced Banners to layer the It's a Boy onto. This die set also comes with the sentiment Girl to so you can change it to "It's a Girl".

Well that is it for this time. Be sure the check out the Bohemian Collection @ https://cheerylynndesigns.com/new-releases/ . There are some unique dies in this collection. Have a crafty day my friends.

Hi crafty friends! It's Jenny here hosting the blog today. With Memorial Day past and the 4th of July coming up I've been in the mood to create patriotic projects. The focal point of this card is the star shaker. It's a snap to create using the Star Shaker Set. I cut pieces of foam and clear acetate that came in the set, added in the sequins and voila!. I love the star for it's versatility, it's great for birthdays and celebration projects.

I used the Pierced Banners Die to cut the stamped sentiment but modified the shape. To get the fishtail edge on both sides I rolled it halfway through my Big Sister, making sure to only cut the fishtail edge side. I then flipped the die, lining up the pierced detail and rolled it through the machine again cutting the fishtail edge on the other side. The holes make this die easy to line up and recut. This quick modification is anther way to get more out of your die. The solid blue stars are from the Pierced Stars Set and I used a Square Stitch & Cut Tool to get the stitched edges.

I started by cutting out some frames with the A2 rectangular scallops:

Then I adhered a lattice underneath.

I stamped some sentiments on the pierced banners, and attached a flourish and daisy on top.

The only embellishment I added was one tiny pearl.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

I want to wish every follower on this blog a wonderful Christmas & a fantastic New year! Enjoy the time spend together with your loved ones.

Today it's my turn again on this lovely blog, and for today I made a 10 minute Christmas card with non traditional Christmas colors.

I can't believe 2016 is almost coming to an end, me for instance can't wait to start 2017 with all the new adventures on it's way.

Season's Greetings:

I just took out all my doily dies and picked out a golden oldie. The pretty Celtic Fire die I cut this die out of white card stock and placed it on a black background then I made some pink flowers to add on my card. I also added some pink and black treat to make a little bow. And on the Pierced Banners I stuck a word sticker saying to complete my card.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

B324 - Poinsettia Strip

DL109 - Celtic Fire Doily

Flower Card by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 3 Comments

For our Cheery Lynn Designs April Blog Hop, please scroll down or click HERE.

Hello everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog. Our current challenge is Handmade Flowers and I couldn't resist joining in the fun using our wonderful new Sunflower set.

I started by die cutting out my Cardmaker die and trimmed to be the perfect size to Matt and layer onto my Kraft Cardstock and card which measures around 6 inches square.

I made my sunflower in the same way to this card HERE, but this time I just added the leaves onto it. I love the size of this flower as a main focal image on a card.

I would love to see a Hummingbird in real life, they look to be such beautiful little birds. I die cut mine out twice and shaded with inks after looking at some photos on Google. I then heat embossed with Clear Embossing powder and went around the edges with a little Gilding Wax, layering up both layers and finishing off with a drop of Black Liquid Pearls onto the eye.

My sentiment was stamped onto my banner and I fussy cut a shadow background to make it pop.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments we received on Blog Hop day. I enjoyed reading them so much, both on my blog and here at Cheery Lynn Designs. If you haven't seen the New North American Release dies, please check them out HERE.

You're Super! by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here this morning. I wanted to try something different and use these really cute new words. I began by stamping and coloring an image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. My son handed me the paper and I thought it was my usual card stock but I think it was coated because my alcohol markers seemed to slide on the surface. It cut beautifully with the Circle Stitch and Cut Tool die though.

I cut the Action Words background with a red patterned paper and the Pow and Bang words with a navy blue card stock. I cut the Pierced Banner die with the same blue card stock and then stamped and cut the sentiment out of white paper. The blue patterned paper was cut with the Square Stitch Nesting Set. This die set doesn't cut the surrounding square which gives you a lot of versatility because you can add multiple lines of stitching on your projects.

Sending Love to You

** Don't forget our Anything Goes themed challenge is still open through February 3rd **

Hello friends. It's Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft. I don't get to post too often on the Cheery Lynn Blog, but you can head over and visit my blog for more fabby Cheery Lynn projects. I've been loving the pink this month and today I have a romantic card with a lacy open card front.

It's no secret that I love the frame dies. For this card I wanted a partial open card front so I created an A2 top fold card base and positioned my Honeycomb Frame die on the front of the card and ran it through my die cutter. For this particular die, it only cuts the holes, it does not cut the rectangular outline of the die. If you have one that does cut around the outside, you can just position your cutting plate so it does not cut that upper line where the top fold is. To adhere your image panel, you can just adhere it to the front of the card and then cut a panel 1/8" smaller for the backing and all the adhesive will be in between the two pieces.

I stamped my sentiment on ivory cardstock and used the Pierced Banners dies to cut it out. This die is dove tailed on one end and square on the other. If you want the dove-tail on both sides, simply cut it half way, then turn the die around and position it lining up the holes along the sides and cut the other half.

I topped off my image panel with a simple double-loop bow made with Fantasy Rose Diamond Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Sometimes an understated bow is the perfect embellishment.

Dream with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today. Since the challenge is Anything Goes this week I thought I'd try something a little different and dust off my mixed media supplies. I began with a piece of patterned card stock that I colored with distress ink. I brushed a little shimmery embossing paste over the top in the upper left corner. I then ripped a piece of card stock that had been cut with the Lattice #3 die. I added crackle paint to the top of the lattice die cut and glued it down to the main card layer.

The Chandelier die was colored with distress ink and embossed with gold and bronze chunky embossing powders. I also sprayed some white dimensional spray in spots. The Pierced Banner was cut from another piece of patterned card stock and a gold cord was threaded through the holes and tied in a bow. Dream is from the Dream Big phrase set and the Sweet Christine flowers were cut with white and colored with pink ink. I scrunched the flower petals to get an aged look and added rimmed pearls to the center.

Last I cut a pink card with the Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker die to back it with. I didn't have the matching coved rectangle die to layer, so I flipped the die over and traced the corner curve on the main card layer before cutting the corners with scissors.

Jingle Bell Stocking Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello!

Thank you for joining me! Last week my card was Halloween themed, this week Christmas! A beautiful Holiday Die with glitter and Rhinestones!

My Card started with the awesome A2 Frame dies. I first used the A2 Frames Rectangular Classic dies and then layered the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped die. On top of the Rectangular Scalloped, I layered the Alpine Flourish Doily, another A2 Frames Rectangular Classic die and centered the Pierced Stacker #4. I matted the Pierced Banner on top of the Horizon Fishtail Banner and center on my card.

To create the Jingle Bell Stocking, I applied Be Creative Tape (double sided tape with a backing) to one side of cardstock, placed the die cut face down on top and put thru my die cut machine. I then pulled off the backing, sprinkled glitter and burnished with my finger. I backed with two different pattern papers, added burgundy rhinestones and centered on my card.

Dies Used:

Jingle Bell Stocking - B633

A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped (Set of 7) - CM-6

Abundant Blessings Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello, welcome back to the Cheery Lynn Blog! Corina here with you today. I have a rich, earthy, layered card to share. I hope you like it!

So lets jump right into the step I used to create this card.

I first cut three layers of cardstock, one at 4 1/2 inches x 5 3/4 inches one 4 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches, and one at 4 1/8 inches x 5 3/8 inches. I distressed and inked the edges of the largest, embossed both of the other two with the Wood Grain/Leaves embossing texture plate using the leaves side. I inked them both with brown ink (one a darker shade). I then used two dies from the Pierced Stacker #4 and cut the smaller one out from the lighter brown Leaf embossed cardstock. Placing the die in the center so I could still use the outside (discarded/negative) as a card matte. I repeated with the larger Pierced Stacker #4 die and the darker brown carstock.

I glues all three mattes together. Then cut the Fall Leaf Doily out twice. I inked with a blend of green shades and placed one Fall Leaf Doily down on my card front and fussy cut the leaves out of the second and placed them aside.

I cut the Thankful Harvest Cornucopia out twice also. One I inked with a bronze brown and the other I inked each piece with different colours according to the type of vegetable/fruit. Cut out & pasted the vegetable/fruit to the bronze brown die cut and used glossy accents to enhance the detailed cuts outs.

I placed the finished Thankful Harvest Cornucopia, my Pierced Banner sentiment and the cut leaves to my card front.

In the picture below, you are able to see the multiple layers that the card has. These layers create a rich and dimensional card without it being too heavy.

Dies used:

Thankful Harvest - B600

Pierced Banners (Set of 3) - DL303

Fall Leaf Doily w/Angel Wing (Set of 2) - DL249

Pierced Stacker #4 (Set of 6) - XL-22

Wood Grain/Leaves - E104

Wish You Were Here by Karen Maldonado

Karen 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn friends, Karen Here sharing this shabby card with you today!

Let's start by using the Fiona's Magic Mirror die for the base of the card,

and then use the Card Maker Rectangle Classic right on top using

the polka-dot designer papers! You'll notice that the embossing of the

Fiona's Magic Mirror really stands out, and here is how I did this...

Die cut on ivory card stock, then use some Black Soot Distress Stain.

Right away, you'll notice how the stain only stays on the

top and not in the recessed pieces of the die!

Then, I die cut the Concentric Circles Mesh piece

twice from ivory card stock, and only used a portion of it!

I distress inked both pieces, to match the flower, and then layered

one piece right on top of the other! I used pop dots underneath

to raise it from the bottom framed piece.

Lastly, I created this distressed big flower using the leaf from

the Build a Flower #1. and the flower from the Judy's Blooms die!

To finish, I took the Pierced Banners, and also distress inked it!

Then, I stamped the sentiment and cut it up, and placed onto

the banner to mimic a film strip effect!

Cheery Lynn dies used:

FRM140 Fiona's Magic Mirror

Steampunk Butterfly with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello, Jenny here today with a steampunk inspired card. I layered everything on a 5.5" kraft card base. I added a white layer that I distressed the edges of and cut with the Square Stitch Nesting die. I topped the white layer with a piece of patterned card stock. I aged this with a distressing tool and colored the edges with distress ink.

I used glued two sizes of Pierced Banners and randomly layered them before adding the fun elements. This Gears Butterfly was embossed with frantage powder for an uneven but metallic appearance and then popped up using foam tape.

The Gears were coated with clear crackle paint and perfect pearls. The Steampunk Corner die cuts were colored with a metallic distress stain. Before gluing all the gears in place I cut the larger Celebrate die cut, colored it with distress ink and glued it to the card.
