Christmas Gift Tags with Cheryl Walker

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all! Today I have a couple of tags to share with you. I have been busy trying to create tags to put on our gifts this year, and Cheery Lynn Dies work Perfectly for this :) I LOVE the BIG dies I used here, and the beautiful shape. I will be writing on the back of these To: and From: , I could have stamped that, but hey I will just write :) hehehehe

Tags measures -5" x 3 3/4"

I LOVED using this Cheery Lynn Poinsettia Strip to create the Poinsettias on both tags. This strip makes cutting super easy, as the strip has enough to create 3 flowers in one single run through your die cut machine, gotta LOVE that! On these flowers, I used a gingham print design paper and my glass flower technique. Love how the flowers turn out and how they stay so perfect. In the centers I used some gems.

Now on this tag I used the Poinsettia die cutting out a different pattern paper almost makes them look like candy cane :) hehehehe

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

Tag base was cut using Cheery Lynn Designs Pierced Stacker #2 XL-20 die

Also used Cheery Lynn's Oval Classic SM Silver Stacker Layers 8 for the ovals on my tags

Cheery Lynn B324 Poinsettia Strip (LOVE this die)

Cheery Lynn Christmas Bell B846 die for the Holly Leaves and branches

Cheery Lynn Quadrafoil Tag B682

I am actually going to use these for all the large quilts I am making for Christmas gifts this year. Ha! I just learned how to quilt, and I am on my 4th one. I think these would be perfect for large gifts :) but I will be writing a little note on the back and tie it to the quilt on the inside of the package . Might have to make some smaller ones for the top of the gift :) or some that are this size, not sure yet :) we shall see!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, please do leave a comment letting me know what you think of my tags :)
Have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, welcome to Sunday, Tamara here with your Sunday Cheery Lynn Inspiration. This week I thought I would make a card for those hard to make for "Men".

Well Cheery Lynn have been at CHA last week and had an amazing time and I even spotted a few of my designs that I have created for Cheery Lynn in the past. If you want to have a look at some of the photography's join the Cheery Lynn Facebook page by Clicking HERE

Over on Cheery Lynn Challenge Blog we will have a new challenge starting tomorrow (Monday) with a chance to win a $20 coupon to spend in the Cheery Lynn Store and with all the new dies you are certainly spoilt for choice.

I cut out the pennant twice so I could create a layered effect. I have used distress marks to add faux stitching around the edges. The pears are not pears but petals from the new build a flower 3 die. I threaded some natural string to create a stalk, then just distressed using walnut satin DI's

I've had this stamp for a while and haven't inked it up. So glad that I did as its gorgeous..

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.

There is still time to enter this week challenge for your chance to win the $20 shopping spree! Details Here

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Actually - New Year Inspiration

Tamara Morton 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Good Morning, Tamara Here with my first post for Cheery Lynn Inspiration Blog for 2013. I can't believe that I have been with this fabulous design team for a year and loving every minute..

With Christmas and New Year out of the way the next celebration is..... of course Valentines Day. Although it isn't a celebration as such, there is nothing like being in Love and receiving a card that has been created from the heart.

Cheery Lynn Dies

XL-2 - Scalloped Square LG nesting dies
L-4 - Classic Circle Silver LG nesting dies
XL- 5 - Scalloped Circle nesting dies
D137 - Sweet Williams Flowers
B181 - Build a Flower #1 (used the petals as leafs)
E168 - Expandable Quilling Strips
DL218 - Manon's Wedding Garter (Flowers)

I started with die cutting the Scalloped Square in the biggest size onto white card stock. The first layer of design paper I cut using the biggest Silver Square. This creates the perfect layer effect. The paper I used is a fab 6x6 paper pad from Prima which is perfect for doodling, so I added lines around the edges and around the flowers.. The centres I cut from one of the papers from the pad, painted them with rock candy crackle paint to add a shine and a different texture..

The image is of course Magnolia and is from last years Sweet Crazy Love collection.

She is coloured with copics

R29, 27, 24, 22

T8, 6, 4, 3

E11, 21, 30, 00, 000, R20

E44, 43, 41

Here is a close up of the gorgeous Sweet Williams flower die. I die cut two of each die, distressed using inks and shaped to create some depth. In the background you can see the build a flower #1, I have used the petals as leaves.. These have been sanded to create a distressed look. Weathered Wood and Black Soot distress inks have been used to colour the petals. I have also added some glimmer mist for a tiny bit of sparkle..

In this picture I have painted the sentiment with rock candy and distressed with black soot. Also you can see how I have used the expandable quilling strips as twirly thingies. These have been distressed with DI Fired Brick and Black soot.

This is the inside view of my card I kept it simple so the die cut layers stand out more..

and this is the back of my card with my personal stamp which I brought from Whimsy stamps a few years ago. Cheery Lynn LG Scalloped Circle and Silver Classic circles using dies number 2 are a perfect fit for the stamp this just adds that professional touch.

Did you know that Cheery Lynn has two blogs one for all your inspiration (this blog) and one for all the challenges.. Challenges are every Monday with a prize of $20 coupon to spend in the Cheery Lynn Store for the winner
