Hi Cheery Lynn Fans it's JULIE here today. Gosh I can't believe how fast we are now approaching the end of the year and it will soon be Thanksgiving Day for all our American friends. So today my card is inspired by this celebration.
I started by distressing my 2 layers of Maja Design papers at the edges and layered onto my card. I cut out my wreath in 3 shades of paper from the same pad, cutting 2 of my wreaths so they would stretch out a little larger than the base one. The cut was hidden by my drop shadowed reindeer.
My large sunflower was coloured with Copic Pens and Micro Beads added into the centre. The smaller sunflowers I added Flowersoft into the centres and also touches onto the wreath. My berries were coloured with Copic and 2 layers of Glossy accents added letting them dry between coats. Finishing with arranging my bouquet onto my card.

Hi! Welcome back to a new card using Cheery Lynn Designs! Today's card is all about the new fabulous distressed honeycomb....I printed up the bee off the blog and fussy cut it out twice...One bee was a bit larger and then I just made the second bee a bit smaller.
The sunflower was cut out in yellow twice and once in white. I die cut the center of the yellow sunflowers in black. They all have a shiny coat in the center using diamond glaze. I then printed up the sentiment and ran it though the printer on yellow cardstock. I used the smallest of fishtail banners for my sentiment.
Closer view....and some white pearls for the finishing touch.

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"....

Today I have a beautiful card that I created using Cheery Lynn's beautiful dies. I absolutely LOVE this gorgeous sunflower die, and had fun making it 3-D!
To create my card I started with the sunflower design paper for my card layers. Next I chose to coordinate using Cheery Lynn's Sunflower die. It was cut using white card stock, then distressed using yellow inks. I also used an orange Copic to airbrush on the sunflower. It has 3 layers for the flower part. In the center I chose to use the wood sunflower button from the sunflower kit from Club Scrap. I did airbrush it in a brown, and added some Stickles to the center..LOVE it! I love how this card turned out for today's post. The green leaves were dusted using two green inks.
My layer for the sentiment was done using Cheery Lynn's Oval Classic, and the Pierced Stacker #2 set. The doily layered behind my sentiment layer is Cheery Lynn's Priscilla Doily.
The sentiments are from the Project Bin Stamps Autumn's Calling stamp set.
The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon - Moss Green Satin with Grosgrain Edge.
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am excited to be sharing another card with you using dies from our latest release. This card measures 8" X 8" to give you an idea of the size.
For my Autumn/Fall foliage I cut out several leaves in White cardstock. I used Distress Sprays on them to get all the different shades. I layered onto corrugated card that had been sprinkled with some Frantage.
My Sunflowers were coloured with Distress inks and micro beads added to the centres.
My hazelnuts I double layered the base area and added a crackle glaze onto the nut area and once dry added a little Distress ink to highlight the cracks.
My berries were also coloured with Distress inks and two layers of Glossy Accents were added letting it dry in between.
I added my doily to the centre and arranged all my foliage and flowers gluing everything in place and finishing with my cute Turkey.
Thanks so much for stopping by today to see my card. I hope you feel inspired to make a card with the Autumn/Fall Leaves die and why not incorporate it into our Current Challenge - Doilies Theme. Love to have you join in the fun with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree here at Cheery Lynn Designs.

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.

Hi everyone! I'm back today sharing a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs using their New Release North America and Canadian Provinces. I live here in Arizona, so I had to share the popular "It's A Dry Heat" card. This card was inspired by a postcard here in AZ. I placed the "Arizona State" in the middle of the card. The State was cut 3 times in each color and then I fussy cut the white cardstock behind it. It really makes it pop out a bit more. In the center is a star from "100 stars"
The "scalloped frame" was cut in light purple and kraft and then placed together. The cactus was made using "surfer's up set" surf boards and I embossed them to look like cacti. I also used the small bushes in kraft since it is hot in the summer and everything turns a bit brown.
The sun was made using a "sunflower" and the font is Microsoft Word Bleeding Cowboys. The little skeleton is a stamp that I fussy cut out. Lots of pop dots behind, but you could also leave it flat for mailing out.
Hope you enjoyed!

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today. In the UK this
weekend we celebrate Mother's Day, so I thought it would be nice to share some
inspiration with you all.
I used this wonderful newly released Sunflower Die on my
card. You will notice on this die cut you get the small seed box that is for
the centre of your flower. Detail is always so important to Cheery Lynn and
this is why I love their dies so much, as I can get such a realistic look onto
my cards with their dies.
I started off my card by cutting out my Stitched Stacker
in white cardstock, blending on Distress Inks and adding my stamped sentiment
around the edges. Layering onto my brown cardstock , I tattered both layers at
the edges for some added texture.
My terracotta pots were each die cut out twice and shaded
with a brown Copic pen. I then pressed the die cuts into my Versamark Ink pad
and added a mix of Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Powders, heat setting in
place. I blended a little Black Archival Ink around the edges and onto the
centre for an illusion of them curving. You will also notice I added on an
extra layer just to the rim of the pot for an added 3D look. Finishing them off
with a little grass at the base.
My Sunflower petals were shaded with a bright yellow
Copic pen, with a little touch of a pale orange towards the centre. I shaped 3 flower head layers on my embossing mat and layered them onto my stem and leaves.
On my seed box part of the die I applied a generous
amount of glue and poured on some Bronze Micro Beads. Once dry I dripped some
Black Alcohol ink on to it to mimic my
seeds. I placed in the centre of my Sunflower and then added some Earth
coloured FlowerSoft around the outside of my seed box.
My Watering Can was altered using the same technique as HERE. On my
gardening spade and fork I coloured the handles with a brown Copic pen and used a peeled paint texture stamp and a little white Acrylic paint so it gave me the effect
of the paint peeling off the handles. I used Versamark ink and Silver Embossing
Powder on the spade and fork bases. Once this started to melt I sprinkled on a
little Vintage Photo Distress Powder and continued to melt it, giving me a
rusty worn look. I finished off my spade with a small garden bird.
My card was finished off by adding a Coffee Stirrer into
my Terracotta Pot with a stamped sentiment.
I do hope you like my card and feel inspired to try these
effects on your die cuts. Our new
Fortnightly Challenge just started on Thursday, this time the theme is Doilies, look forward to seeing your entry.

Good morning everyone.
Hope you all have had a lovely week so far with lots of creating and sunshine. Oh am I in need of some sunshine really, combined with some warm weather that would be nice. So for today I created a card that makes my world a little warmer....it's my attempt to do a clean and simple card but I guess I failed at that for now. If you know my work a little you know I love distressing all my edges and on this card I didn't do that at all. If you look closely at my card you may notice some resemblance to a card I made the first time I was on this amazing design team. I just liked that card so much that I had to make it again.
Special:
For me clean and simple also means without adding too much and without stitching or cheesecloth, so in that way it did work for me.

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today. A week on Sunday
marks the Celebration of Fathers Day in both the UK and USA, so I thought it
would be nice to share my inspiration for this special day. My Dad loves being
out in his garden and his cat is not usually far away from him, so I decided to
create this little scene on my card.
I started off by using the Brick Embossing Plate and some
Beige card stock. Once embossed I dry brushed Gesso onto my bricks to highlight
them. Next mounting onto Green Cardstock and stitching around the edges for
detail. My garden fence was shaded with a little Distress ink to
shabby it up and a couple of layers of grass added.
My watering can I added a little gilding wax to highlight
it. My flowers,leaves and dragonfly were shaded with Copics.
My sunflower was shaded also with Copics and I made the
word Dad from my words Day/And as I have still to get the Cheery Lynn die saying Dad.
