You are my Sunshine Card by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely Cheery Lynn Fans.

For today I have another card to share. This time I wanted to highlight the pretty "Sunflower" dies Cheery Lynn Designs offers. On my card I used four flowers and two of my favorite border dies. The papers I used are the "Nyhavn" collection by Maja Design and I used a couple of Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to make the flowers pop off the card. Then I added some glass glitter in the centers of my flowers and a stencil by TCW designed by Gabrielle Pollacco.

You are my Sunshine:

First I cut out the background wood grain paper in 4,7 inches by 6,7 inches then I cut that paper piece in half with a wave from up to down. The upper part I placed on my card directly the lower part I added some foam tape times three so it would look a bit higher then the other part.

Then I added both border dies behind the lower piece so it would look like a little lace addition to my card. In the center of my sunflower on the bottom of my card I added a flair from "Cuts2luv". Such a great addition to your work "I think"....

Sunflower Thank You by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone! It's Jenny here today hosting the blog. I've been in a summer cardmaking mood lately and I wanted to play with my sunflower die and some new-for-me rust effect paints. I cut four of the sunflowers adhering the layers together with foam tape. The black centers were created using a black paint pen.

Lately I'm using more black in my cards. I love the striking contrast when using light accent colors. I sponged the flowers with distress ink, painted the petals with a shimmery acrylic and then brushed two colors of rust effect paint on top. The thank you circle was just cut and colored with distress inks.

With Love by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing some inspiration for an Autumnal card.

I started by die cutting out my stacker dies, tattering some at the edges with the blade of my scissors and layering up with foam strips.

My Sunflower Doily I layered two colours, offsetting and gluing only in the middle so my layers were not lying too flat.

I added a Winter bouquet of foliage and a Sunflower, apt for this time of year. My berries have Glossy accents added onto them.

My Sunflower was shaded with Distress inks adding Flower Soft and Micro Beads to the centre.

I finished off my card with bling around my sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Bi-Weekly challenge.

Birds Everywhere by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out with you today. There are so many beautiful bird sounds outside and birds fluttering everywhere, so I though I would go for a bird themed card.

I used the French Lattice Small die as a stencil for my background. I cut it out and then placed it on my paper and inked different shades of oranges and yellows on top of it then removed it leaving a beautiful background. I have kept the colored die cut and will use it on a up coming project that I will post on August 2nd so watch for it.

I cut and inked the Fancy Bird House which has wonderful detail in it. The birds are from the Feathered Friends and I cut them from a pattern paper which I think makes them look whimsical and cute. The corners are the Lace Corner Deco J . The sunflower fills in the corner, and I used the leaves from the Sunflower Set to add to the sunflower.

I want to thank you for visiting today and for the comments you leave. I invite you now to come join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge . This will give you a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. Have a crafty day my friends.

Be Happy by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 3 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today. I am featuring another of the newly released sentiment dies called "Be Happy".

I was trying to think outside the box and thought why not use the sentiment in place of the sunflower. Not sure what you will think but I kind of like it. It's just something a little different.

The Whimsical "Be Happy" sentiment I cut three times out of cardstock and layered them so it was more like chipboard. I inked it up with a couple of colors of distress inks. The flower part of the die I offset and shaped. I then placed the sentiment on the stem and leaves of the Sunflower Set instead of a flower for something different. The background was embossed with the Black Eyed Susans .

I cut two of the Nested Flower Pots and cut the rim off one so I could do a double layer on the rim for added dimension. I place the cats from the Kitty Kitty Meow Meow set in front of the pot.

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.

Flower Pot Card with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share this flower pot card using Cheery Lynn Designs Dies with you today! I have seen several of these cards and I wanted to make one for my mother for Mother's Day this year. So I thought I would make one early to make sure it comes out the way I wanted it to look. OMGosh! If you haven't made one of these flower pot cards in the past...I highly recommend you trying to make your first. They are truly beautiful!

The base is 3.5 x 9 inches. Scored at 2 inches and 5.5 inches. I then cut 1 inch off the top of the 2 border and added the "border carnivale" in white for the edge. I layered some ribbon around the whole top and added a bow towards the left side. I then die cut 3 sets of the "sunflower set" in yellow and placed some black gala glitz in the centers for a bit of bling. The 2 largest "leafy flourish"were placed behind the flowers and then I added 2 of the smaller "leafy flourish" to drape down onto the flower pot.

The insert with flowers and your personal message is 2.75 x 5 inches. I stamped a sentiment on the left hand corner and added 3 small butterflies from "mini dimensional butterflies". There are so many cute butterflies to choose from this set. I layered them in white cardstock to make it pop out a bit.

Hope your enjoyed my flower pot card today!

Sending Love to You with Bonnie Garby

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi everyone. It's Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft with a card showcasing the amazing new Sunflower die from the January 2016 Cheery Lynn Designs new release.

This die is really a 'show-stopper'. I cut the sunflower twice in dark yellow cardstock and lightly inked the petals and the flower center. I also used a stylus tool to shape the petals. Then I layered the pieces offsetting the petals. I added the stem and leaves under the flower and 'planted it' in one of the nested flower pot dies. For the flower pot I cut two pots and I cut the top rim off the second piece to layer on top to give some added dimension. I also inked the edges and shadows on the pot.

I used the Fleur de Lis Border Set to add a little interest around the outside of my cream base. The sentiment was stamped and then cut with the largest Pierced Banner die. I lined up one side, cut half way and then turned the die around, lining up the holes on the side and cut the other half. This gave me the dove tail look on both ends.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

XL-24 Nested Flower Pots

B663 Sunflower Set

B680 Fleur de Lis Border Set

DL303 Pierced Banners

You know how I love to finish my cards off with big bows, but this time the sunflower wanted to take center stage. I added a small loopy bow made with burlap string to the bottom of the card above the sentiment. It added a nice rustic look to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Beautiful with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone! I'm back today sharing a new card using some more January New Release Cheery Lynn Designs dies. I layered the "sunflower" twice and crimped the leaves. In the center, I added brown gala glitz. It really makes it shine. The frame edge " Lords & Commons" matched the swirls on the "flower pot". Behind the "flower pot", I added some yellow cardstock and on top added "Beautiful"in yellow for my sentiment.

You can see the details in the leaves and the stem of the sunflower. I added pop dots behind the flower and flower pot. The yellow patterned paper was die cut with "A2 rectangle" It is a perfect match on the "Lords & Commons" die. Easy and fast card to cheer up someones day!
