Valentine Heart Gift Bag by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovelies.
Today I would like to show you a gift bag I made for Valentine's Day {I know I am a little late but never too late for love right?} For this bag I used a retired die DL111 - Heartland America XL as the base of my bag! So the size of the bag is about 15.5cm by 15.5cm without the handle.
This was such a fun and easy project to make....and you can surprise your love with some candy inside. I used some left overs from the "Vintage Autumn Basics"collection by Maja Design.
I always hoard my leftover pieces so I can give them to my neighbor but this time I used them myself.

Valentine Heart Gift Bag:

First I cut out the outer die from the heartland die out of the flower sheet and on top of that I placed the rest of that die cut out of green paper.

Then I cut out a piece of 30cm by 8cm which I scored on 15cm, on 2cm and on 6cm. Then I made little cuts all the way of the 30cm piece on both sides.

Now I am ready for the decoration.....using the pretty C184 - Judy's Blooms as my flower piece.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B666 - Fern Leaf

B675 - Sweetheart Candy
DL303 - Pierced Banners {set of 3}
D136 - Dimensional Large Leaves #2
DL266 - Dripping Butterfly
C184 - Judy's Blooms
DL111 - Heartland America XL {retired die}

Love You by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing with you a card using our fabulous new word die - Love You. I gave my card a Masculine touch, hopefully to inspire you, as I know we all struggle when it comes to thinking what design to make for a male, but changing the colours and adding a flower would equally give this design a feminine look.

I used several of my Stacker dies to build my layers and with it coming close to the Festive season I just had to add some Platinum Stickles for an accent of bling.

My Ink bottle was coloured with a Copic Pen and I wrote the work Ink on it. My Feather I inked the edges and ruffled the sides for a realistic look.

I fussy cut a heart shape to place behind my heart doily and gave my word - Hugs a shadow effect.

Simplistic Elegance with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Happy Monday crafty friends! Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

Today I have a shaped card to share with you featuring one of my favorite stacker dies, the Coved Rectangles shape. I layered them to create a frame with a pretty scalloped edge for contrast.

The focal point for my card is the lovely Exotic Butterfly Large #1 which is attached with dimensional foam squares. Beneath it is the Heartland America Large heart shaped doily die with the relief pieces removed. This framed in my sentiment.

Some details...

I typically like to use a strong variety of dies on my projects, but today I wanted to share a more simple design that is still very elegant, yet easy to put together.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
Coved Rectangle Classic- XL-10
Scalloped Coved Rectangle - XL-11
Coved Rectangle Classic Silver Stackers - L10
Exotic Butterfly Large #1 - DL117

Valentine's Inspiration with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

Have you seen our latest challenge? The theme is "Sweethearts" which I took inspiration from. Since it's been so very cold here, the next fun thing we get to look ahead to is Valentine's Day, which is so fun to think about and create cards for.

"XOXOXO" (A2 Card)

I've used the Fancy Corner Cuts #4 on the bottom white layer here.

The white layer is elevated with foam squares.

I used the Lattice Hearts and Vines die and layered the flourishes under my black Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker. A few Tiny Flowers were added into the vines for a soft touch. The hearts here are from the Heartland America XL die.

I cut apart the XOXOXO sentiments in both sizes for the accents here as well. I love to take pieces of the dies and create something a little unexpected.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
Lattice Heart and Vines - B368
Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL251
Tiny Flower Kit (Set of Three) - B376
Fancy Corner Cuts #4 - B431

A Little Love Note with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Happy Monday Cheery Lynn Friends! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I wanted a little break away from the holiday "everything" right now to create an everyday card this week. We always need a card on hand to say we're thinking of someone or simply that we love them.

This is a shaped card featuring our Coved Rectangle stackers. I just love this pretty shape and the backer here is the scalloped, then the blue-green layer is actually a folded layer.

The hearts here relief cuts from the Heartland America Doily die. I thought they were pretty layered in with the floral cluster. The solid heart edges were inked for a bit of definition.

Classic Coved Rectangle
Coved Rectangle Scalloped LG - XL11
Coved Rectangle Classic - XL10
Daphne Doily with Angel Wings - DL264

Love Is In The Details - Guest Designer

Katie 3:30 AM 9 Comments

We have a new guest designer this month, Katie Tate from Both Sides of the Paper. Welcome, Katie, we are so happy to have you with for the month of May.

Dies used: French Pastry Doily, Carnivale Border, Mini Fanciful Flourish, Flourish Leaf Strip, Heartland America and Cutie 4
Today I am sharing my first guest project for Cheery Lynn Designs. This card is very different from my usual creations, it has no image but instead is filled with technique. If you follow the trends in card making you must have seen the popularity of the "Frantage" range of embossing enamels and all the wonderful creations people are making. Well I don't claim to be an expert (gosh this is my first attempt with the product) but this is what I came up with after many hours going from blog to blog to fill my latest Pinterest board :)

I wasn't sure whether the dies would work on the corrugated card, I have only ever used steel rule dies on product this thick, but oh my they cut through like butter! Even the border is cut from the corrugated card (although it got a little squashed as I turned it through the machine a few more times than it needed)
If you can see on the doily the cardstock came pre-embossed, all you have to do is sand it down a little to reveal the color core, a great time saver.

I used some old products here, the paper ribbon and fiber must be close to 10 years old, but I think with the muted tones and the texture to this card that they worked well, good job I'm not very good at purging old product! Anyway, enough of my rambling, I hope you enjoyed this card and I'll be back next Saturday with another project for you.

Bathing Beauties Card

Celeste Glover 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello everyone. It's Celeste here with the last in my series of Bathing Beauties. I have created a card to match my layout and tags. I hope you enjoy.

Firstly I started off with 6x6 card stock and folded it at the top so the card could be lifted up. I then used the French Flair-Classic dies to create the base of the card. I used the French Pastry Doily under the picture just so the edges could be seen.

I made the small flowers out of the Miniature Rose die and just popped them on top of the Fanciful Flourish and inked and stickled them.

The main flower is made up of the Judy's Blooms die with the leaves and the Pair of Ferns resting on top of the French Pastry Doily. I put the Dragonfly on the left hand upper side of the card and inked and stickled it too.

This is the inside of the card. I, again, used the French Flair-Classic Die to look like the outside of the card. I used one of the smaller dies of the French Flair-Classic dies to make a place to write or stamp a saying or whatever you would like to put in.

For the flower, I just used the inside of the Heartland America Large die and the Heartland America XL die and popped both doily's together with the petals of the Judy's Blooms on top. With the Fanciful Flourish underneath and another Miniature Rose, I finished the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a Happy and Safe New Year. All the best for 2012.

Dies used:

DL152 Dragonfly with Angel Wings

Bathing Beauties Tags

Celeste Glover 6:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi again everyone. Well this week is the second instalment of my Bathing Beauties series. I have made three tags that I hope you enjoy. I will just be quick in this blog as there are are a few photos that I would like to share with you.

For the first tag I started off with the French Pastry Doily. From there I used the Olive Branches and added a Miniature Rose. For the bottom flower I used the small insert doilys from the Heartland America Doily Large and the Heartland America Doily Extra Large, and added the Stacker Flower Leaves. I quite like the way this flower came out.

For the second tag I used Judy's Blooms and the Miniature Rose for the flowers and again the Olive Branch for the leaves. All the flowers and leaves were in the tags were inked and stickled!

I know they all seem the same but it is a series and also since I am new this is pretty much all my dies!!! So please forgive me until I build up my "stash" and you will see some fantastic projects coming your way!

For the third tag again the Miniature Roses and Olive Branch. I like how all the tags are different but all the same at the same time, I hope that sounds right! The Pair of Ferns adds that finishing touch and presto the tags are all done.

For all the tags I used some fringing that was white to start of with. I inked over the top to achieve the brown stained look and then added the beads below. From somewhere in my stash are the beads at the top of the tags and it all came together.

I hope you like this second instalment and look forward to presenting the last in this series. I also hope this has inspired you to have a go with these fantastic dies. They are so easy to use and give such stunning results.

Dies Used:
B147 Olive Branches
B152 Miniature Rose
B118 Pair of Ferns
C184 Judy's Blooms
SF-1 Stacker Flower Leaf
DL110 Heartland America Large
DL111 Heartland America XL

Shabby baby carriage - Kianel

Kianel 5:00 AM 14 Comments

Hello my dear Cheery Lynn Designs lovers!
Today i am showing you the finished project i gave you a sneak peek of last week. So enough teasing now and as it is my first attempt to make such a project i do ask forgiveness for the mistakes.

One thing is sure: it's all made out of dies!

Here comes the baby carriage, i really tried to get all possible details and you also have the baby sleeping inside (it's the cover of the mini album!).

Here i used the XL scalloped circle stackers and comined it with large silver circle stackers. You can also see the ribbon eyelet border with piercing and the Anastasia border which really looks like lace. A small exotic butterfly is decorating the top of the carriage.

Detail of the wheel also all made of dies!
I used the scalloped circle window stackers, pieces of the Xtra large Heartland America and medium rose to make the wheels.

For the back of the carriage, i also worked with dies. I didn't want the carriage to keep a hole in the back so i went through my dies and there was the polynesian oval sails lying, perfect for what i wanted to do. The Anastasia border is here as a perfect lace border.

Here is a detail of the flower that covers the side of the carriage. It's all made out of dies! I used a combination of miniature rose, medium rose, large rose and cherry blossoms. I added a leaf from the small dimensional leaves set #2.

And here you can see the front of the carriage where i placed a banner. I made it using the pennant die and the alphabet set "slightly script basic" 1/2".

And lying inside the carriage you have a mini album on the cover of which you have the baby boy sleeping. The base is made from little stackers coved rectangle. The layers are made with little stackers scalloped ovals and small silver stackers oval classic. To make the flower, i combined the miniature rose, the medium rose and the large rose. I also added pieces of the fanciful flourish die.

The 1st 2 pages using the little stackers coved rectangle die. The layers are made with little stackers scalloped oval and silver little classic oval stackers. Decoration is made with miniature rose, olive branches, small exotic butterflies and lace light deco border.

And then 2 other pages with place for the pictures of the baby. Same base is used but this time i chose to use the silver small stacker french flair classic, a piece of fanciful flourish and the lace light deco border. The other page is made using the olive branches and the heart piece of the large Heartland America.

The printed paper and baby boy stamps are from Magnolia. Almost all dies are covered with Creative Inspirations shimmery paints.

Okay, i hope you are still there and that you have enjoyed this project as much as i liked doing it. I will give more details and pictures on my blog tomorrow.

Just don't forget that we have our current challenge this week about making your own flowers and for that you can just grab your Cheery Lynn Designs dies and build the most amazing flowers like i did on this project.

Take care and see you next week, love from France, Kianel.

Apologies - Kianel

Kianel 4:15 AM 6 Comments

Hello my dear Cheery Lynn Designs friends!

I will begin this week's message by an apology to you as the project i've been working on for today's post is not ready...I feel awful because it took me so much time and finally i can't show it to you. It's a baby carriage but you will see it next week for sure. The only thing i can show you today is a sneak peak of the main part and you'll see the whole project finished with mini album and all, next week, i promise.

So today, apart from that poor sneak peek, i am also showing you another part of a project i have made and here is a heart shaped shaker box that i made using the large Heartland of America die.

Once again my apologies for the "bits" of projects.

I also want to remind you of our current challenge for which you can win a 20$ shopping spree.

Love and see you next week, Kianel.

Do you say Babushka or Matryoshka?

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 3:30 AM 16 Comments

I had a vision for what I wanted to do today. I went on Etsy and bought a digital file I needed to complete my vision and everything. But as of writing this post, the file still has not been delivered.

Plan B? I made my own Matryoshka doll.
