Decide What to Be Note Card

Hi Cheery Lynn die lovers. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today and I'm sharing an inspirational note card created with dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I did something a little different today and used one of my favorite frame dies to emboss with. Instead of putting your base plate, die, paper and then cutting mat, I did base plate, die, paper and embossing mat before the cutting mat. It gives a pretty good embossing impression which you can see from the photos. It was kind of hard to pick up in the photos and it looks even better in person.

I used the Ornament 9 die below my sentiment panel and rather than use the entire thing, I cut it in pieces to use as I wanted.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

FRM154 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2 (used to create embossing on background)

CABD-46 Ornament 9

My card is finished off with a pretty bi-color bow that I created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 tool using ribbon from the June Ribbon Club assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Hello by Jenny Alia

Hi, I was inspired to use lime green and aqua together and this is the result. The hello is photographing as black but it's actually more of a charcoal color. I chose the colors first, the background lattice next, and then the flowers and foliage.

This hello from the Bohemian Word set is one of my go-to Cheery Lynn dies. I love the casual script font and the size is large enough to make a visual impact on a card. It works well on clean-and-simple cards but is elegant enough to use on other style cards as well. After molding the Sweet Williams flowers using a stylus and molding mat, I added a white center from the Embellishment #2 Set and glued small rhinestones to the centers.

Good Things with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi friends, it's Jenny here hosting the blog today. I'm sharing a new card I created. I wanted to create a quick card that was both easy to mail but decorative at the same time. I kept things simple using only a few dies. I chose very decorative dies and added patterned paper for interest.

The leaves are beautiful and large so they really add impact on this project. I stamped the sentiment and then cut it out . This die has a cut out center so words are easy to line up. It's difficult to see but the cream paper I cut the background with has a shimmer to it.

You Make the World a Better Place

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi there everyone. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today sharing a pretty all-occasion card made with lots of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I created an open card front using the Quatrefoil A2 Frame. I used the A2 Retangle Classic die to cut the large opening on the card front and also created a bit of a frame of the same size for the back. I sandwiched the Quatrefoil cut in white in between the card front and the frame backing to hold it in place.

I created a rectangle for the sentiment panel using some Distress Ink paper I made measuring 2-3/4" x 4 which covers enough of the front to allow you to put a message on the inside of the card without it showing though. The sentiment was added to that with a ribbon banner in between.

I lined the inside of the card with the same Distress Ink paper for uniformity when the card is closed.

My tea roses were made with a mix of the Distress Ink Paper and solid dark purple cardstock for some interest. The layers were cut and the petals were shaped with a foam pad and stylus before assembling. They were attached to the card below the sentiment.

Cheery Lynn dies used:

FRM154 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2

CM5 A2 Frames Rectangle Classic

B435 Tea Rose Small

B436 Tea Rose Medium

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using Regal Purple and Rose Bloom Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to pull out your frame stamps and make an open front card.

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!

Mr. and Mrs. Snowman by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello all you Cheery Lynn fans. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out. Christmas is getting closer all the time and with the last new release having some Christmas dies I have decided to create a Mr. & Mrs. Snowman card.

I am featuring two of the new dies sets which were release in July. They are the Build A Snowman 13 Piece Die Set and the Winter Holiday Word 6 Piece Die Set . I must say the snowmen were so fun to work with. You can really decorate them up cute with all the accessories in the die set.

I wanted to go non traditional colors and thought this plaid paper would work great. I layered the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2 in the center and then layered the Heart to Heart Doily on top of it. That made my base to build on.

Here is the Mrs. snowman with her fashionable scarf, mitts and hat from the Build A Snowman set . I have added a bow to her hat as well as the sentiment "Peace" from the Winter Holiday Word .

And then there is Mr. Snowman also from the Build A Snowman set. I must say he is also very fashionable and cool with his sunglasses and pipe. The broom is so nicely detailed too. The sentiment "JOY" is also from the Winter Holiday Word set.

Here they are together as a couple with the Merry Christmas sentiment layered from the Winter Holiday Word set. This set really does have a nice variety of different sentiments. I added the Judy's Blooms flower just because it matched the colors so good and I rather like it rather than always using snowflakes on Christmas cards. Last I tucked in pieces of the Dancing Snow Flurries for filler and more glitter. I hope I have inspired you to get a early start on your Christmas cards. I know I usually leave mine until the last minute then feel rushed.

Caring Thoughts Card with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi everyone, it's Bonnie again from Make Time to Craft. Today I'm filling in for Amy and I'm showcasing some more of the wonderful May New Release Dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I'm really loving the new frame and flower dies. This card features the Sakura Flower die which was a favorite from our Blog Hop. I cut the die twice - once using green cardstock which I used as the base and a second time using a piece of watercolor paper colored with Ken Oliver Colorburst pigments. I snipped the flower portions off from this die cut and glued them to the green base.

I chose to make a white on white muted background by cutting the Quatrefoil frame from white and layering it on a white background. I love the subtle look this creates.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

CABD-109 Nesting Dolls Tag #1

The Sakura flower is mounted on the Pierced Stacker #2 which is layered over coordinating ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The small sentiment was cut out using the Nesting Doll Tag and trimmed with some baker's twine and burlap string.
