Patriotic Page with Rhonda

Greetings and welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs blog! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog.

I made a patriotic page today featuring a photo of Mt. Rushmore that I took when we were on vacation this summer. There was something so patriotic and majestic about seeing the monument in person.

I started with an 8x8 piece of white cardstock and used Fancy Corners #4 on the corners. Next, I used the Scalloped Rectangle and aligned it to cut a 7x7" square. (This is one of the Reflections Boutique dies.) At the top I used a Victorian Romance Flourish as a hanger type of element in between my layers. Lace Heart Square is next.

I had some pieces left from my project last week, so you will see the Foliage Embossed white cardstock and French Lattice on top, tucked under the Southern Charm Valance on the right.

To anchor my photo I used the Polynesian Sails Oval, then layered a medium Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker with foam squares. The photo is then attached with foam squares. This gives me a lot of area to layer my cuts. On the bottom you'll see a snip of Sophia's Heart Border, another piece left over from a previous project.

Layered on the right are the Quills and a Wheat cluster, topped with the Star and Birds of Earth and Sky. To the left of that is a Branch. There are Cloud cuts layered under the photo and one attached with foam squares.

Hello! Those of you that know me know how much I love to add texture to my projects, and what better way than by embossing plates!

The little critters on the Turtles and Frogs Embossing Plate are sooo cute!! After embossing, I brushed on a little chalk to emphasize the textured pattern. The Celtic Chain Border is the perfect boyish accent!

Best Wishes

Jodi 3:30 AM 9 Comments

Hello! Today I have a card featuring some of the new winter dies.

The card base is cut using the Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique set. I added texture to the white portion of the background using the Petite Hearts Embossing Plate. I added some trim from the Expandable Tiny Borders plate, and Lady Kate Edger for lace.

The flower cluster was created using Build a Flower #3 to create the yellow flower. Cutie Fringe 4 makes the most adorable spiky flowers, shown here in burgundy. The Daisy Strip has three different sizes on one die, making cutting so much quicker! Two different sizes are tucked into the bouquet. Foliage is from Build a Flower #3, Rose Leaf Strip, Stacker Flower #1 Leaf, and Olive Branches. To the bottom right corner is the new Best Wishes Phrase, and a Mini Butterfly fluttering about.

Orchid Tutorial

Jodi 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Hello! Don't you just love the Winter Release dies at Cheery Lynn Designs?! I think the new Orchid is so beautiful! I created a simpler card because I really wanted the flower to stand out on it’s own.

I want to share with you how I assemble my Orchid. Remember, you can enlarge any photo just by clicking on it!

On the left I have arranged the dies in which I assemble them, on the right you see the my die cut petals in accordance with the dies. I’ve numbered the petals to make it a bit easier to follow along.

Once I have my petals inked it is time to shape them. I use a small foam block (from Stampin’ Up) and an embossing tool. I made a little clip of my process.

A close up of the shape of the center.

I’ve glued petals 2 & 3 to petal 1, overlapping 1 slightly.

Here you can see the curvature of the flower taking shape.

I’ve adhered petals 4 & 5 to the backside, angling slightly.

Holding the center in the curved position, I add a dab of glue to the end….I use Rangers Glossy Accents because it dries so quickly and has a strong hold.

I place the center so that it sticks straight out from the flower, just like the real flower.

Another angle so you can see the depth of the flower.

The flower completely assembled.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can help in any way! I can’t wait to see your version!

To create the card, I started by cutting the base using the Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Mega die. The white matte was cut using the Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Mega die. I love that the Reflections dies have the added piercing and stitching, adding visual interest and texture. Next, I added the new Ankara Lace Doily, layering with a frame from Sentiment Frame #1. I chose to cut the matte, doily, and sentiment frame from the same color allowing the new Orchid to pop off as the focus. For a bit more texture, I tied a smaller Tag #1 to the flower. To the bottom I added the Best Friends Phrase, again cutting in white so not to take away from the flower. Gently resting on the sentiment is a Mini Dimensional Butterfly.

Mini Doily Fun!

Jodi 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hello! Don’t you just love the new dies from Cheery Lynn Designs?! The design team has shared some gorgeous inspiration with them this week!

One if my favorite new additions is the Mini Doily line! I decided to have a little fun with them by using them to create the background for my layout!

I started by using the Lady Kate Edger to create the lacy edge around my background. I cut several of the Canadian Kaleidoscope Tiny Doily, Italian Flourish Tiny Doily, and Sophie’s Heart Mini doilies, staggering the shapes throughout the background, added texture and visual interest. The Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Mega Die created the prefect photo matte. The Classic French Flair Silver Stacker atop the Scalloped French Flair Stacker Nesting Die is ideal way to create your own journaling block.

Dies are a quick, fun way to dress up stickers! I added a jute bow around the canning jar, then adhered it with foam adhesive. Using Daisy Strip and Small Leaves 2, I added more texture, color, and dimension. I also added some little flowers from Build a Flower Embellishment #3.

On the first fold, I added the Garden Gate (distressed with Chestnut Roan), adorned with the Christmas Light Swag. Pine Branches in the top corner add more color and texture. Snowflakes flutter about.

Now onto my project for this week with the fabulous products from Cheery Lynn Designs and Hampton Arts:

I decided to make a booklet card this week with a vintage feeling. The front of the card is about 13,8x11,5cm. I used the angel wing english tea party doily as Jodi showed you a few weeks ago to create my aperture.

The flower is made with the Lace corner deco D set and decorated with a brad and some flower soft powder. I also added the holly flourish die that i cut in several pieces.

The stamp is called "reindeer collage" PS0484A and is from Hampton Art. The frame is done using size 2 (1 being the smallest) of the Mini pearl rectangle mega doily set and adjusted to the size i needed.

Opening the card, there is the O Tannenbaum X-mas tree die and the holly flourish on the right side.
On the left side, is a holly flourish adornated with the small flowers from Build A Flower embellishment #2 set.

I chose to give a little 3D effect to my tree by adding some 2mm 3D pads and pearls.

Opening once more, here is what you have.

Fantastic Hydrangeas collage (PS0528) from Hampton Art using Colorbox "chestnut roan".
The flower is made using the inside flowers of the Manon's wedding garland set and a piece of holly flourish.

And on the right side, i made a pocket using Mini pearl rectangle mega doily size 1 and adornating it with paper from Foofala, holly flourish and Build A Flower embellishment #2 set.

The stamp "Distressed Merry christmas" (PS0461A) from Hampton Art is stamped with colorbox "chestnut roan" and placed on a frame made with mini pearl rectangle mega doily size 1. The background paper is from Graphic 45.

Spooky Halloween

Jodi 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Hello! Jodi here with a fun Halloween card.

I created the base of the card using the largest of the Classic Coved Rectangle Stacker Nesting dies. I then layered with the next smaller size followed with a Classic Coved Rectangle Silver Stacker Layer. The Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections dies was used to create the matte behind the postcard. For a bit of spooky fun, the Creepy Gate is tucked in on either side of the post card.

I propped the Spooky Tree with foam adhesive to add a bit of dimension. I folded the wings of Going Batty for a bit of fun texture and dimension.

The design of my card was inspired by Pagemaps.

My Favorite Memory

Jodi 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hello! Today I am sharing a layout I had published in the September Issue of PaperHaus Magazine using their Sept sketch.

I created the lacy background by piecing together pieces of the Tiffany Border. The Mega Tea Party Doily add the perfect amount of elegance, with an Exotic Butterfly #2 resting on the edge. Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Boutique creates the ideal size matte for photos. I used the smallest of the Scalloped French Flair to back my title label. The Pennant Die finishes off the look. Darling Daisies are scattered about.
