The Few, The Proud, The Graduates with Bonnie Garby

Hi friends. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft and I'm sharing a graduation card made with a couple of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. I know for some parts of the USA, graduation is all but a fond memory, but here in the Northeast, school is still in session through the third week in June, so it's weird for me to think graduation before now. If it's too late for your area, you can always switch up the sentiment and use the same card design for another occasion.

I know I've used this Royal Scandinavian Square Doily before many times and that's because it's such a versatile die - and the Tea Roses, I just can't even tell you how often I use those dies! I love to buy dies that I can use over and over and just by switching up the colors and sentiment and a few embellishments, nobody even notices. The more I can use a die, the more I like it! Good for your pocketbook too!

My design is pretty easy to see. Lots of layers that I love built up on a 5-1/2" square card base with some mulberry paper tucked in between to soften things up. Some pretty tea roses, some ribbon and a bow and it's done!

Cheery Lynn dies used:

DL280 Royal Scandinavian Doily

XM1 Square

B435 Tea Rose Small

B436 Tea Rose Medium

My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using White and Electric Blue Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I would love for you to let me know what your favorite multi-purpose die is or what Cheery Lynn die you find yourself using over and over again.

Happy crafting!

Always Remember by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and my card this week showcases some of the beautiful flowers available at Cheery Lynn Designs.

My card has been made using papers from Maja Design starting by cutting and tattering the edges of my base layer which measures approximately 6 inches square, I then layered my stamped sentiment placing it behind my die cut frame with a lace Border.

My flowers have a variety of centres, my large flowers have been inked at the edges and my die cut centre added which is formed by rolling the die cut around tweezers and gluing in place.

Once dry you simply fan out the rolled die cut add a little Ink for definition and glue in place.

My smaller blue flowers have a blob of Glossy Accents in the centre and Micro Beads poured on top with a sprinkling of Glamour Dust for added Sparkle. Finishing my card off with a spritz of white from my Chalk Markers.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used :

B315 Ivy Corner Strip

B304 Ivy Strip

B338 Black- Eyed Susan Strip

B434 Sweet Christine

DL140 Dutch Scallop Square Frame

B586 Step Card Bundle #3

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you feel inspired to make some flowers.

Crafty Hugs,

Believe in Magic Card by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Good morning lovelies.

Today I would like to share another card with you and this time it's a summer card. For this card I used all Maja Design papers and just three Cheery Lynn Designs dies {and I can tell you that was a huge challenge for me}....Maybe you wonder why I used just three dies? Well I am always trying to add a twist to my work when I am creating to let me think outside the box for once. So for this card my challenge was to only use three dies.

Believe in Magic:

This card is made out of three layers....I also added a flair to it which says be-you-tiful! The flower is made out of two different sized dies to give if more volume. For this card I used some soft yellow/orange papers with a touch of teal.

At the end I sprayed some white ink and added some flat back pearls and a thread through the eyelets to complete my card and I really love how it turned out....do you like it too?

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip

SF-3 - Stacker Flower #3

B144 - Celtic Heart

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful day and lovely weekend!

Graduation by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Design blog. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out hosting the blog today. With graduations just around the corner I thought I would be a good opportunity to share a graduation card with you .

To start I matted this black and white graduation paper onto white cardstock for my base. Because photos are such a huge part of graduation I used the Film Strip Border Die at a angle across the card front.

The Graduation Set 2 Piece Die Set is a beautiful and perfect die set for grad cards. I cut them in white and burgundy so I could make part of the tassel and the ribbon in a different color. I then layered them onto the film strip. What awesome detail this set has and the distress ink really makes the details stand out.

I want to thank you for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I always enjoy hearing what you have to say. I have two grandchildren graduating this month so it's a exiting month for me. I hope all who are celebrating graduations enjoy them. Have a crafty day.

Dies Used
Graduation Set 2 Piece Die Set - B556
Film Strip Border Die - B677

Hello With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello again! Welcome back to a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs! I was in the mood for yellows and greens....The "chandelier" was supposed to be the main focus of the card.....but of course I needed to add some fun "black eyed susan's". I love the centers! The chandelier has some yellow stickles to give it a bit of bling. I layered "stitched squares" with "horizon square boutique" in the center.

The gorgeous "flourish #8" is new to my collection! I colored the tip of the leaves with a bit darker green Copic marker and then added some 3D crystal lacquer to give it a bit of shine. The sentiment was stamped in yellow distressing ink and fussy cut out.
