It's Birthday Time

Sandy here with you today, filling in for Amy. I found this image I had colored last year for a Copic class I was teaching and thought it was time to add it to a card. I created my card base using Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique dies. I love that these dies are open ended because you can make about any size you want with them. I started with a folded piece of card stock 5 3/4 x 6. I only wanted the scallops on 3 sides, I think it makes a more masculine card. I used the same dies to make the center scalloped strip on my card. The image was die cut with a Silver Coved Rectangle die and backed with a matching Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique die. I added a Pocket Watch w/Angel Wing, another masculine die. And the last step was the sentiment stamped onto a Tags 1 and backed with the same.

For Mom's Everywhere

Donna 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Good Morning Cheery Lynn fans, Donna here with a Mother's Day card, even though we celebrate Mother's Day in the Uk in March, I decided to make one for this week's challenge.

I've used an image from LOTV, colored with Copics, and cut out with the oval classic Lg Silver stackers, I then drew the false stitching using the edge of the die to make perfect lines. I then cut out a larger circle using the Oval Classic Large Stackers. The largest square cut out of Kraft cardstock was done using the Mini Pearl Square. All other matting was created using the square classic and scalloped Lg Stackers. Flowers are the new Shasta Daisy Strip, and the Embellishment #1 die. Foliage is the ivy strip and the centre piece from the Victorian Garden Doily Frame., I've also used the Princess Tree at the top of my card. The gauze border across the centre is another one of the new releases.

I made the sentiment spelling out Mom using a alpha stamp set from Whimsy and the Tags 4 set. Papers are from Bearly Mine, pearls from my stash. The card is 8x8.

Forever Bouquet

Jodi 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Hello! I’m want to share some fun ideas I had taking my dies “outside the box” this week!

I started by taking one of my favorite dies, the French Lattice Small Frame and cutting it apart to form corners for my layout. I just adore the pattern of this lattice! It’s delicate flair set the tone for my layout. Using the largest of the Mini Pearl Circle Reflections Boutique, I cut a circle for my background. I placed Lace Corner Deco B all around the edge of the circle to give it a lacy edge. The Victorian Garden Doily Frame surrounds my photo, matted with the Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique. Tucked under my photo is Window A, framing my journaling words.

My bouquet consists of Frangipani, Stacker Flower #6, Medium Rose, Large Rose, Cutie Fringe #3, Build a Flower Embellishment #3 and Baby’s Breath from Build a Flower Embellishment #2. Leaves from Large Leaves #1 and Rose Leaf Strip. Around the edges is the Mini Fanciful Flourish. Tucked under the bouquet is the Eastern Star Doily and French Pastry Tiny Doily. Fluttering atop are Exotic Butterfly Mini and Mini Dimensional Butterflies.

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!

Half a Circle

Donna 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Good Morning Cheery Lynn fans, Donna here with my shaped card

following this week's challenge.

I've made a shaped card that isn't square.

For my shape, I started off using the Reflections Boutique Scallop die to cut the shape, I then did the same with my paper, using a different Reflections Boutique mini pearl circle die. I've used a new Tilda Poppy stamp, cut out with the XL Series of the Scalloped Circles, then a smaller one cut out using the Circle Classic dies. Behind the Scalloped Circle I've used the Nautical Wheeler Doily. On the back of the card sticking up is the Lace Deco border die, I've also used the Birdcage and the mini birds from the Tiny Wings with Things die set. I've included the Victorian flourish die at the bottom of the image, with a flower made using the Daisy set, and added a small heart from the Two of Hearts set. The mini roses below the birdcage I cut a small snip out of the end of the petal to give it a different look. Notice the little bumble bee too.....that's from the Tiny Wings with Things set, and finally I've used the small fairie lace wing butterfly from the same set. All the pearls are from Viva Decor pens. A lot of dies on such a small card, but I think it creates a lovely scene.

List of dies used

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.

Hello! Today I have a card featuring the new Build a Flower dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started by cutting the base from Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique. Adding a little texture, I used my favorite Diamonds & Starburst Embossing Plate. The Polynesian Sails Oval doily is the perfect delicate base for my image. Above the image hovers a dragonfly from the new Tiny Things with Wings….such cute little critters in this set!

The larger flower was created using the new Build a Flower #3 set. The flower center, as well as the smaller burgundy flowers were cut from Build a Flower Embellishment #3. Daisies being my favorite flower, you are sure to see more from the Daisy Strip in the future! Foliage from Pair of Ferns, Wreath Strip, Rose Leaf Strip, and Small Leaves #2. Tucked in the flowers is the new Hugs sentiment atop Sentiment Frame #1.

Friendship Card

Sandie 3:30 AM 8 Comments

It's nice to be back creating with Cheery Lynn Designs dies for 2013!

I created this card a few weeks ago now, playing around with my first Tilda stamp after being inspired by the joint venture with Hampton Art.

The card has plenty of layers, starting with the Lace Square Heart Mega Doily, then just the tips of the English Tea Party showing beneath the Circle Classic, and French Pastry base.

The smaller heart from Two of Hearts is perfect as a base for the Sentiment Frame.

Flowers were created using the Build A Flower Embellishment #2, and Build A Flower #1. Foliage consists of the Flourish Leaf Strip, Olive Branches, and Pine Branches.

Diamond Stickles was applied to highlight edges of the various die-cuts used.

...and pearls in the centre to create more realistic flowers...

The challenge this week over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge blog is 'Friends/Friendship' - call over and enter for a chance to win a $20 voucher to spend in store.
Till next week
