Give Thanks and Farewell with Rhonda

3:30 AM 5 Comments
Thursday greetings to you! It's Rhonda here to host the blog today for one last time.

I selected the theme of "Give Thanks" for my card as I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing Design Team for over two terms. These dies are so very pretty, I just love using them!

"Give Thanks" (A2 Card)

I used a white card base and layered the Lord and Commons on first. Next I stitched it down in the inside border.  After that I cut a Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker in medium and layered the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame on top. 


I cut an Oval Classic Stacker from vellum and layered it on top of the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame, then a cut using Chicken Wire and layered between the Oval center layer on top.


I added the Princess Tree, then the Cherry Blossom, Sweet Christine and Darling Daisy florals next, mixed in with the Sentiment Frame #2. The Ivy Strip and Flourish Leaves were added behind the florals. A few gems helped finish the card.

Lattice and Trellis with Rhonda

3:30 AM 4 Comments
Happy Thursday to you, it's Rhonda here today to host the blog and share a project.

Cheery Lynn has some gorgeous frame dies and I particularly like the Lattice background. I also really love the Trellis die, it always adds a bit of charm to your project.


I started with a white cardstock A2 base, then cut the Lattice Frame from light kraft cardstock and adhered. Next I cut the Polynesian Sails Oval in a pretty blue, then attached. The next layers are the Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker (medium) followed by an Oval Scalloped LG Stacker.

The Trellis was cut from kraft cardstock, as well as two different frames from the Sentiment Frame #2 set which I added a rub-on sentiment to. The top sentiment frame is adhered with foam dimensional dots so the Add A Flourish and foliage could be tucked in.    


The florals were arranged and a few smaller flowers were added from the Tiny Flower Kit. Some gems in a variety of colors finished the card along with a tiny bow.

I Like You with Rhonda Van Ginkel

3:30 AM 2 Comments
Thursday greetings to you and welcome to the blog today!  It's Rhonda here to share a project with you.

Right now where I live, we are in the midst of a super sub zero arctic deep freeze. To brighten my spirits I decided to create a card with some cheerful colors and a hint of Spring to it.

"I Like You" (A2 Card)

I recently received a few new dies, one of which is the Dutch Doily Rectangle Frame and I wanted to use it. I layered it on top of a pretty cards tock base that had a floral design in the bottom right corner.

Next, I pierced the scallop interior holes in the Doily Frame for texture. I cut the Alpine Doily Flourish from a scrap piece of vellum and layered it in the middle of the frame.


Next, I cut several varieties of florals using the Sunflower, Embellishments #3, Sweet Williams Strip, Dandelions and Tea Rose Medium. I also cut a pair of Wheat Heads. I mixed up my Sunflower layers for fun. The Sweet Williams Strip florals were lightly misted, scrunched up and inked, then glued together.


I layered in the Bird on a Branch and then completed the card with a few crystals and pearls along with the sentiment frame at the top. A tiny bit of gold string added a little texture to the floral composition.

I hope you liked my card today!

I Spy a Birthday!

3:30 AM 0 Comments


 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a few more dies from the recent release. The I Spy binoculars are great! They are perfect for layouts involving sightseeing and hunting/target shooting themes. For a cheeky birthday card, they are great for spying a milestone birthday--"Lordy, lordy look who's 40!" I just couldn't resist. The binoculars are detailed with some pan pastel and glossy accents to bring out the features of the die cut. The Mirror Mirror Doily Frame is perfect to create a mirror to look into for this card. To further accent the theme of time, I added the Gear Mesh to imply clock gears...as time passes.

Vintage and Stackers with Rhonda

3:30 AM 0 Comments
Happy Monday crafty friends!  It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

My card today features several of our stacker dies and a bit of a soft vintage design. I started by selecting my French Flair shape, and layered a Dutch Scalloped Square at an angle behind it. This really changed the shape and I loved the look of it together.


My next layer is the French Flair Doily Stacker which is cut in a soft gray plain card stock and adhered with foam dots. I added a touch of cheesecloth on top to give a bit of texture.


I finished the card with my Scalloped Coved Rectangle and Coved Rectangle layers featuring the sweet vintage image. These are attached with foam dots as well. The Add a Flourish is tucked in and tacked down with a bit of Glossy Accents. Sentiment Frame #2 is used to showcase the sentiment.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
French Flair - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies - XL-13
French Flair Classic - Silver Stackers - L-12

We have a brand new challenge, "Beautiful Borders" this week and hope you can join us! You could win a $20 gift certificate just for playing along.

A Square Merry Christmas with Rhonda

3:30 AM 3 Comments
Happy Monday to you!  It's Rhonda here today to host the blog.

I can't believe it's almost July! For my project today I am playing along with our new challenge theme for this week, "Christmas in July".

Merry Christmas (5"x5" card)

Recently I received the Poinsettia Strip flowers and I've been wanting to use them. This week's theme was the perfect opportunity! I started by trimming my card base to 10"x5" and folding in half to create my 5"x5" card.


Next I layered the Dutch Scallop Square, then the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker. The Sophie's Heart Mini Doily anchors my Sentiment Frame #2.  A cluster of Poinsettia's are arranged and bits of the Mega Holly Flourish are used for the leaves.

I finished the card with a sweet little gold bow and bell along with a bit of pearl and gem accents.

Dutch Scallop Square - DL340 
Sophie's Heart Mini Doily - DL238
Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames - DL253

Once again, all my flower were cut out from white cardstock and then inked and sprayed with homemade shimmer spray. I added the trellis, greenery, hummingbirds, which also were all cut from white cardstock and a few pearls.

Garden Gate - B124
Victorian Picket Fence - B123
Trellis - B298

Time for Spring with Rhonda

3:30 AM 4 Comments
Happy Monday Cheery Lynn Designs friends!  It's Rhonda here to host the blog today.

This weekend was a big step forward in the direction of Spring for us here in the United States. We observed Daylight Savings Time where some of us move our clocks forward an hour and gain a bit more sunshine in the later part of our day.

In honor of this event, today's project theme is… time!

You can see the de-bossed background kraft paper that I used a bit of pink ink on. To achieve the effect, I simply rubbed my pink chalk ink lightly onto the raised metal embossing plate, then embossed per usual. (Be careful not to press down or you'll have more smudge marks than you might want.) 

The effect was a subtle pattern with a hint of color.


I've layered our Pocket Watch with the Ship's Compass, then added the Sentiments Frame #2 on top of those. I did trim off the directional stations from the compass, and kept the flourish to use under the 12. The relief hearts from the Frills and Hearts Border and the clock hands from the Pocket Watch were re-purposed as random embellishments to add a touch of whimsy.

Layered Floral Card

3:30 AM 11 Comments
Hello.

My name is Corina Finley.  Welcome to my first day on this exciting new journey as Guest Designer for March 2014.  I hope your week has gone well so far.  Mine here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada has been quite busy, cold but great.  Chasing after my two boys (7 & 3 years old), keeping DH on track and paper crafting fills my days.

I’m bursting with excitement to share my card creations with you all, using the wonderful Cheery Lynn Dies. I will be sharing with you a card I created using a few of my cherished Floral strip dies and a couple Doily dies to play along with this week's challenge here on Cheery Lynn's blog.


The magic about creating with the Cheery Lynn Floral Dies is that you do not have to have paper in the perfect colour! I cut my flowers out in white cardstock and then colour/ink to match.

I love creating cards like this, where I can use a variety of Cheery Lynn Dies and create a layered look, giving the card detail and depth. It is easy (the dies do the hard part!)and I love my creations when I am done!


On this Card, I used Cheery Lynn Dies:
Italian Flourish Doily - DL103
Sophia's Heart - DL184
Flourish Leaf Strip - B178
Rose Leaf Strip - B241
Shasta Daisy - B310
Medium Rose - B154
Large Rose - B155
Daisy Strip - B259
Coved Rectangle - XM-10
Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL251
Love (Set of 2) - B227
Sentiment Frame #1 - B189

*On the Flowers I used: Distress Inks to colour my flowers, I did a bit of spray misting with some homemade shimmer spray, and then added a few pearls, a stick pin and seam binding to create this floral arrangement!

Hope you Enjoyed my first post! Please let me know with comments below!

Dreaming of Spring with Rhonda

3:30 AM 8 Comments
Happy Monday to you!  Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

My project today is inspired by my dreamy thoughts of Spring. It's been a very cold and difficult winter where I live and all I can think about is how nice it will be to see pretty flowers and birds flying around again in the Spring. So, I decided to go with a dreamy springtime card today.

"Springtime Dreaming"

Isn't the new Classic Birdhouse so sweet? I love the details and wanted to feature it!



I've had some questions about what kind of adhesive that is used on my projects for the dies. I thought it might be helpful today to do a step by step of how I created this card and share which kind of adhesives I used along the way. 

I always use my Tape Runner/ATG for layers, Glossy Accents, Glue Dots in various sizes, and Foam Dimensionals (you can get squares, dots, circles, etc.) in various depths.  

  • To begin, I folded my paper and cut the base of this card using the 5th Scalloped Rectangle Die.
  • The folded card size is 4.5" x 5.5"
  • Next, I cut my Fiona's Magic Mirror layer, and scored it to fold and wrap to the back. I attached this layer with my tape runner leaving some open space on the top to tuck and layer other elements.
  • Cut the Concentric Circle Mesh, trimmed it, touched a bit of Glossy Accents on the bottom edges and tucked it behind my Fiona's Magic Mirror layer.
  • Cut the birdhouse, inked edges of cut pieces and attached pieces with Glossy Accents.
    • Adhered some glassine bag paper behind the bird hole to soften the look with Glue Dots.
    • Cut one Concentric Circle Mesh and attached on top of Bird House opening using a very little bit of Glossy Accents. (You can use a Q-Tip or your fingertip to do this.)
  • Cut 2 Princess Trees from 2 paper designs, cut the branches.
  • Add Foam Dimensional to back center section of Classic Birdhouse.  This is important so you can tuck and layer other elements as you go.  
  • Tack on the Princess Trees to the Foam Dimensionals until you are happy with the arrangement.
  • Cut 1 Sentiment Frame 1, cut it in half and adhere under your birdhouse on both sides.
  • Attach Classic Birdhouse to card, aligning bottom with bottom of the Fiona's Magic Mirror.
  • Do not glue down Princess Tree Branches, leave them so you can still move and layer them.
  • Cut 1 set of Quills, tuck them under the birdhouse at angles using Glossy Accents or Glue Dots.
  • Tie wax string around base of Classic Birdhouse and make a bow. Curl tails with dowel.
  • Cut one Dancing Doily Lace Border segment and wipe a bit of Glossy Accents on back to attach. Add pearls if desired.
  • Cut Mini Fanciful Flourish Right, layer under the birdhouse (may need to trim a bit of the tail), tacking down the leaves with Glue Dots or touches of Glossy Accents.
  • Cut Cherry Blossoms (3 large and 2 small), shape and attach with a brad in the center.  
  • Cut 2 sets of Medium Roses, shape and stagger your layers using a brad . I touch my centers with a bit of Glossy Accents to make them appear more budded.
  • Cut smallest 2 Rose Leaf Strip Leaves 2 times, ink the edges and cut tail off. Layer and attach under the Roses using Glue Dots.
  • Cut 2 Olive Branches and attach on either side of your Cheery Blossom.
  • Adhere flowers to card using Glue Dots
  • Cut Bird from Birds of Earth and Sky, ink and attach with Foam Dimensional. Add a pin dot of Pearl Pen for the eye. (Or a mini gem.)
  • Tack down any Princess Tree leaves if desired with a tiny amount of Glossy Accents.
  • Cut Tiny Fanciful Flourish, use a small touch of Glossy Accents and tuck under the bird.
  • Cut Clouds from Glassine Bag, layer under Princess Tree, House and Fiona's Magic Mirror Frame. Use a very tiny amount of Glossy Accents on the area that will be layered and not visible.

Bridal Inspiration with Rhonda

3:30 AM 4 Comments
Happy Monday to you!

It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you. I was very inspired by last week's Winter White challenge and it served as my color inspiration point for this card.

Have you seen the stunning new releases High Heel and the Pretty Pretty Bows?  I thought they would make beautiful music together. I've added the Butterflies Among the Vines Mesh Border and Fancy Corner Cuts #4 here too.

"I Do"

A touch of satin finish white card stock is used for the bow and the layer under the high heel.

A Vintage Thank You with Rhonda

3:30 AM 1 Comments
Happy Monday to you!  It's Rhonda here today to host the blog today and share a project with you.  Did you see the latest challenge theme is "Thank You"?  Let's face it, we can all use several of these on hand, right?

Cheery Lynn Designs has such a fun array of dies and the details are just exquisite!  I've been wanting to use this Vintage Bicycle die since I got it!  It's so dramatic I wanted it to be the focal point so I selected more muted papers to show it off.


Below the bicycle, I've layered two different Sentiment Frames on top of one another to great a unique look for my sentiment block. Beneath them you'll see a snippet of the Kiwi Spirit Doily cut from white cardstock.


I've used dimensional foam for one of my clouds and the top layer of my sentiment block.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
Vintage Bicycle (Steampunk Series) - B356
Scalloped Coved Rectangles - XM11
Clouds and Rain - B320
Ankara Lace Border - B332
Sentiment Frame #1 - B189
Kiwi Spirit Doily - DL108

We'd love for you to join us in our "Thank You" challenge this week!  Don't forget, you could just win a $20 gift certificate for playing along!!!

Let's Talk with Rhonda

3:30 AM 4 Comments
Happy Monday to you!  Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I was inspired by this week's new challenge theme, "Anything Goes" for my project. I really love the Dripping Butterfly die and built my card around this die. I find it to have so many uses, particularly for any kind of project that conveys emotion.


To mix things up a bit, I selected a 5" square card base in kraft. The Princesses Garden Window Frame was used and the layer behind it you can see the Dutch Scallop Square Frame peeking out.


I've listed my dies below for you in the layered order they appear on my card. I love how they all layered together to create such a pretty space for my Dripping Butterfly. I did add some Waterfall Stickles to my butterfly and some goosebumps bling as well.

I cut my Sophie's Heart Mini doily in half and attached behind the Scalloped Coved Rectangle.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

We hope you have a little time this week to join us for our new challenge "Anything Goes"!  Such a fun way to play along using a Cheery Lynn Designs die and have a chance at a $20 gift certificate!!!

I do want to take a moment to wish each of you a very Happy Holiday to you and yours!!!
