Corner Medallion

I just love the color combination of white, yellow and black; it is so clean and fresh. I was inspired to make my card today by one of the winning entries from last week's Tickled Pink challenge. Holly created a very elegant card by putting four corner dies together in the center of her card. That made me get out all my corner dies and look at the possibilities. Using one of the dies from the Lace Corner Deco I set, I created this lovely medallion as a backdrop for my flower. I used my Silver Circle Little Stackers to cut the black circle for mounting the corner pieces. For some interest, I added texture to the top yellow panel and the next black panel using my Large Circle Piercing Plate.

For my flower, I used 2 large, 2 medium and 1 small flower from my Dairy Strip. Normally, I curve my daisy petals under, but this time, I simply dragged my fingernail across the top of the petal - from the center to the tip - and it created a lovely upward bend. Finished size is 5" square.

Sweet Baby

Hello! Have you seen the new Pixie Dies? They are so adorable! Today’s card features Pixie Guardian.

I cut the die from glitter cardstock, making her pop even more! The third circle from the Classic Silver Stacker and Scalloped Circle Nesting Die makes the perfect background behind her.

I tucked in some foliage using Olive Branches, Small Leaves #2, and Flourish Leaf Strip. The tag was created with the smallest of the Scalloped Coved Rectangle Nesting Stackers, decorated with the Coved Rectangle Piercing Tool. To create the scalloped layer, I placed two pieces of Border Carnivale back to back. Around the edges is the Classic French Flair Silver Stacker atop the Scalloped French Flair Nesting Stacker. The background was cut using a Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflection Die, adding texture using the Baby Feet Embossing Plate.

New dies + Color = Perfect Match

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 3:30 AM 12 Comments

My card today is my effort to use the rest of the dies I didn't get a chance to use on my NEW RELEASE post. I am using the new dies Country Girl, French Lattice Small and Cuties #4.

I have the Lattice cut in white on top of a white piece of paper that I have used the Pierce Plate on.

How do you like those flowers? They are a very TOP SECRET design I came up with myself and maybe is enough people say.."OOOH, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" I might do a tutorial on them sometime soon!

There is something so striking and satisfying to me about bright colors on a white background.

There are so many different ways to do this and I never tire of trying new ways.

I am having a blast with all the new dies. I love making my own custom flowers and these new Cuties #4 are fabulous to work with.

Large Oval Vintage Tag

Sandie 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Tag measures 7 X 9 inches

Christmas is over for another year, and I do hope you all had a wonderful time with loved ones. Now, New Years is just around the corner....

Today, I want to show you a vintage, oval tag I created for Cheery Lynn Designs. This oval shaped tag could easily be transformed into a photo/memory booklet, or made to hang on a wall, showing off precious photographs.

The base for the tag was cut from the XL-8 Oval Scalloped Stacker Series, and my actual photograph was cut from the L-7 Classic Oval Silver Series, and then framed in the most intricately beautiful, DL136 Japanese Garden Lace Oval Frame. The largest backing piece was embossed using the PS107 Stitcher Plate, then lightly sanded for that distressed look, using Core-dinations cardstock.

To decorate, I used the inside greenery from the Japanese Garden Lace Oval Frame, and teamed it with the B147 OliveBranches. The Olive Branches were cut into various sizes and weaved in and amongst the roses, and upwards to frame the photograph.

I formed three B155 Large Roses, curling the petals up tightly and adhering for the centre and then built the petals little by little around the centre of the rose. Some of the petals were curled inwards, and others outwards. There are certainly ‘many’ ways to create roses, from these beautiful dies, and of course are available in three various sizes.

To complete the tag, I used Creative Inspirations paint to highlight different areas, especially the roses, as well as Tim Holtz distress inks on edges. Prima porcelain roses and pearls were adhered, and some of my vintage guipure lace and silk ribbon which I hand-dyed in variegated colours to match, were used to complete my project.

Mike has completed a great video, do check it out on the Cheery Lynn Designs Website – “Detailed Dies CuttingWorkshop”, well worth viewing, especially when dealing with the beautiful and intricate detail of the dies available through Cheery Lynn Designs... And do not forget this weeks challenge also, which can be found by clicking “here” – the theme this week is ‘Celebrate’. Just remember, you can create anything you wish, but you have to use at least one Cheery Lynn Designs die in your creation, though more is welcomed for your chance to win a $20 voucher, and also Mo's Digital Pencil has 3 vouchers for other winners!

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Years, may 2012 bring much joy, lots of laughter, and good health to all... till next year ...

Box - Kianel

Kianel 3:29 AM 13 Comments

Hello Cheery Lynn Designs lovers!
Kianel here with you today to share a box i made lately for my niece's birthday. The last tomic challenge is about recycling so i used a cereal box to cut all my dies. I am also showing you another use of your XL scalloped oval stackers building a simple arch (i already showed you a big complete birdcage, several layers on a card and a little half bird cage with base). Here is the finished box:

And i have made a tutorial to show you how to build a bush with Cheery Lynn Designs dies.

STEP 1

Cut out 2 pieces with the "wittle wicker" die in a thick paper. I used white Canson paper 224gr that i covered with distress ink and Creative Inspirations paints for the shimmery look.

STEP 2

Cut each piece in half and keep the ones with the 0,5cm plain border. Cut in 2 each little fringe and here is what you get.

STEP 3

Glue the plain 0,5cm part for each piece and roll it around a pencil. Let it dry with the help of a clothespin to keep it tight.

STEP 4

Here is what you get when it is dry. Add a piece of double sided tape at the bottom. This will help maintain your first rolled fringes at the base.

STEP 5

With the help of a pencil, roll every fringe at different heights as the picture shows.

STEP 6

Here's what you get when finished: a nice little bush!

STEP 7

To complete your small bushes, just add some flowers in it and place on any creation you want. Of course using different lengths of fringe, you can make bigger or smaller bushes.

Here are the dies i used on this box (click to go directly to the shop):

XL scalloped oval stackers, XL oval stackers, XL scalloped square stackers, XL square stackers, pierce rectangle plate, wittle wicker plate, English tea party doily, Little circle stackers, Little scalloped circle stackers, slightly script 5/8" font and don't forget to use the cuttlehug to get a beautiful cut!

Oval - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies

Oval - Classic - LG Stackers Nesting Dies

Square - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies

Square - Classic LG Stackers Nesting Dies

Slightly Script 5/8" Tall Upper/Lower Case

Well, I hope that you liked that box as much as my niece did. I just became the world's best auntie! yeah!
Don't forget to pop by everyday to see the marvelous projects my DT mates make. If you have any question about the tutorial, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.
Love from France, Kianel.
