Vintage Easel Card by Julie Lavalette

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today and I am sharing with you how to cut an easel card using your dies. Let me talk you through my photographs.

My card was folded in half. Notice how I have placed my die slightly off the edge of my card so it doesn't cut my fold when I run through my die cutting machine. I next placed the die to the opposite end and cut. I now had my shaped card.

My topper was cut to form the top of my easel card in white and patterned paper for the top and bottom part. You will also see in the second photo how my folded card looks opened up. My layers were glued together to form my easel card.

My doily was double heat embossed for a smooth finish and some bling added into the centre of the flowers.

Love these little butterflies for an accent. I double layered them and added a touch of bling to the centre.

My Rose was cut out of white cardstock and a little Frayed Burlap Distress ink added. This was then mounted onto my bow with a few leaves, my corner die and little butterflies.

Finally a side on view of my finished card. Good luck to everyone entering our Weekly challenge where you could be the lucky winner of a $20 spending spree here at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Flutterby Butterfly by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, Julie here hosting the blog today. Hope you are having a nice weekend and getting some crafty time to yourself. I love the elegance of white on white cards and with this weeks challenge being Things with Wings, I felt inspired to combine both together.

My corners I creased slightly down the middle and glued at the edges to give a 3D effect. I also layered up my dies but rather than gluing totally flat onto my card, I layered with silicone glue to encourage the light to reflect in between the layers to show the beauty of my die cuts.

My butterflies I sprayed some glue onto and added an extra fine glitter to also capture the light and give some sparkle.

Good luck to everyone entering our challenge this week and I will see you all next Saturday.

Cuties Card by Julie Lavalette.

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello, Thanks for popping over, it's Julie Lavalette here today. This weeks Challenge here at Cheery Lynn is Lots of Layers – how could I resist making a card using this theme.

I adore the versatility of the Cuties strips and decided to make a whole background out of the Cuties 1 today.

Using white cardstock I cut out several strips. I had the idea of giving my background an Ombre effect (light to dark) so after die cutting, I inked them all up with co-ordinating light and darker shades of Distress. Next step, I wove the strips together going forwards and backwards with my paper between the petals and aligning my rows up. Once completed I glued in place onto a layer of cardstock before layering onto my card. I hope you all love the result as much as I do.

You will notice wrapped around my centre image is also the Cuties strip. This time I mounted my inked strip onto the back of my image along with a little brown card to make my image ‘pop’. I then twisted the little petals back round with a pair of tweezers. I love this effect and each Cuties strip gives a different look when you do this.

My flower was cut out again from white cardstock and inked in the co-ordinating shades I had used in my background.

Dies used – B149 Cuties 1
B339 Gardenia Strip
B165 Lace Corner Deco E

Have a lovely creative weekend and I’ll see you all next week,

Happy Anniversary

Sandy here with you today for Cheery Lynn Designs with an anniversary card I created. Using my Scalloped Square Stackers and match Silver Square Stackers I created my card base. Then I die cut the beautiful Lilith Doily w/Angel Wing and the matching Lilith Doily Edger. The doily is so pretty, I hesitated to cover the center with my sentiment. There is a Fancy Corner Cuts #1 which also matches these dies but I had my background adhered to my card base and it was too late to use them. So I added a few Lace Deco Corner pieces.

The last step was a Black Eyed Susan (don't you love that center) and some leaves created with Judy's Blooms. Finished size is 5 5/8" square.

Keepsake Box by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 10 Comments

Hello
Let me introduce myself to everyone. My name is Julie Lavalette and I stay in Scotland in a small town situated between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I was overwhelmed with excitement when I was asked to be Guest Designer for the month of April. I have been papercrafting for about 8 years now and would say my style has developed into Shabby Vintage and I find Cheery Lynn dies always work beautifully with my projects, be it a card, scrapbook page or using them in mixed media. Over this month I will share my knowledge and hopefully inspire you to think 'out the box' with your dies.

Todays project is a Keepsake box that I intend to keep little memories my children made or gave me as they were growing up. I started with coating my plain wooden box with a coat of gesso inside and out to seal it. I then applied various colours of paint blending and applying to my box with a baby wipe. Finally. stamping script and crackles onto it also with paint.

For the top of my box I cut out the French Lattice Small Frame die x 2 with kraft card. I then dry brushed some paint over it to give a shabby feel. I sliced a section off both cut outs so they would connect together at the right size for the top of my box. I saved the small shapes, these were distressed and stamped with crackles. This gave me a contrast when I paper pieced them back onto the lid. I cut out my flourish and again distressed the edges and applied to the lid with multi medium. I then edged with Cuties 3 strip around the edge of the box.

The centre piece I wanted to give a look of petals wrapped delicately around my topper. I die cut the Cuties 3 strip with kraft card and edged with distress. I then pressed my embossing tool into the centre of the petals to give texture and put a tiny little cut into the strip with my scissors, this makes the paper now more pliable to go around the topper with ease and makes the petals sit perfectly. I layered 2 rows around the centre.

I love making my corner dies look like a metal embellishment. To do this, I firstly cut out with kraft card and double embossed with a metallic copper embossing powder. If you heat from underneath and you will get a smoother finish. The base of the box is supported with wooden beads painted.

Now lets go inside my keepsake box. Can you see I used the little shapes from my lattice frame die again and down the side and I have used the Cuties 3 strip as an accent once again.

I used the Expandables Tiny Borders strip into my little sections. This is an amazing die, that gives you lots of different decorative strips all at once and the length is only determined by the size of the piece of paper you use, as it has little markers on the die to expand it. Clever !!

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

FRM132 French Lattice Small Frame Die

B165 Lace Corner Deco E

DL151 Victorian Romance Flourish

B215 Expandable Tiny Borders

B387 Tiny Fanciful Flourish Left and Right

B339 Gardenia Strip

FRM135 Swedish Spring Oval Frame

B151 Cuties 3

B179 Iris Leaves

Well I hope you have enjoyed my first post here at Cheery Lynn Designs as much as I have and feel inspired to enter this weeks challenge.

Hope you have a creative weekend,

A Fun Purse with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

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

Over the weekend we had some out of town friends come to visit. It was pretty fun to see their little girls play and how much they enjoy their purses and dolls, etc.

I recently received the circle scalloped stacker dies and remembered this very cute idea that Jodi had shared a while back here on one of her amazing pages.

Do you see that cute little blue purse?

I thought it might be fun to try and create a shaped purse card.

I started with the largest Scalloped Circle Stacker, then layered it with a plain Circle Stacker. I trimmed the bottom flat. Next, I added the Lattice Valance Border and trimmed it to fit. I cut a few quills and tucked them in as well as a bit of the ivy corner flourish.

Here I've used the Cuties 1, 3 and 4 and some ivy strip leaves.

The lace corner deco d seemed like a nice clasp for the top.

To attach the pieces, I just used some washi tape. I could have also stitched it, but it wouldn't have opened up so nice and flat. This was really a fun project to do! The stackers made it super easy to layer and get such a pretty look!

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

Circle Scalloped LG Stackers - XL5

Circle Classic Silver Stackers - L4 (interior layer)

Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL272

XM Scalloped Oval Stacker - XM8

We would love to have you join us for our new Challenge 125 "Celebrate"! You could be the happy winner of a $20 shopping spree in the Cheery Lynn Designs online store!!! Who couldn't use that?!!!

Thank so much to Jodi for her inspiration and for stopping on over to the blog today!

A Special Anniversary Card

Gabrielle Pollacco 7:30 AM 8 Comments

Hi everyone! It's me Gabrielle Pollacco here with my last project as guest designer this month here at Cheery Lynn. My Mom and Dad's 55th anniversary is coming up in a few weeks so I thought I'd make up a special card for them. Ever since I was a little girl, my parents always treasured the cards the most from us kids, especially if they were handmade.

I used a bunch of pretty papers from Maja Design Winter collection with some of my favorite CL dies to make this card. Can you tell I'm fascinated with the lattice die? I can't seem to get enough of that one! For this layout I mounted it behind a circle I cutout using 2 cups to trace out my circles. For the flourishy leaf design I just had to use my favourite flourish die (I'll tell you a secret....I thought I had lost this die and was so upset, it's seriously my all-time favourite leaf/flourish die, I was ready to order myself another!....then I found it about a week ago, it was in the case for my Revolution machine (I finally remembered I put it there because I pretty much always use that die when I pull out my machine :)

I also used a couple of the lace border and lace doily designs to accent the circle design as well as the edge of the corrugated cardstock I used. And I just love to use those lace corner designs to finish off my cards.

For the flowers I used the beautiful Gardenia strip die. I just love the pretty rosy design this die gives. The petals were cut from white cardstock and I just used some Victorian Velvet distress ink by Tim Holtz....I just randomly tinted parts of the petals using a soft make-up sponge, leaving some parts white. I wanted a small 3rd flower for this floral cluster so I used a few of the smallest Sweet Williams die cuts to make a little rose.

Cheery Lynn Products used for this project:

~ Fanciful Flourish B117

~ Lattice 2 FRM115

~ Gardenia Strip B339

~ Sweet Williams Strip B307

~ Turkish Lace Doily w/Angel Wing DL231

I hope you enjoyed seeing my projects this month as Cheery Lynns guest designer, as always it's been an absolute delight working alongside all lovely ladies on this design team and working with the amazing Cheery Lynn dies!

Saying Thanks in a Whimsical Way

Gabrielle Pollacco 7:30 AM 12 Comments

Hi everyone! It's me Gabrielle here with you today to share a couple more projects with you as January's guest designer for Cheery Lynn! I don't know about you but I find I am always in need of thank-you cards, I like to take the time to send a card to show my appreciation to someone.

I wanted to get some extra use out of that cute lattice piece I got in my last CL order so I thought I'd use it like a window design on a whimsical style card featuring fairies and flowers.

For my flowers I just layered a couple of the Sweet Williams floral dies, inked the edges with a little chalk ink and glued some flower stamens to the centers. I wanted to continue the light filligree look so I used the leaves from the Flourish Leaf strip in white and the Lace Corner Deco in white. I used papers from Graphic 45, Prima and Bo Bunny. I gave the whole thing a more tattered look by tucking in bits of muslin (cheese-cloth) here and there.

Cheery Lynn Products used for this project:

~ Lattice 2 FRM115

~ Lace Corner Deco B - B162

~ Flourish Leaf Strip B178

~ Sweet Williams Strip B307

The funny thing is, once I get started playing with my pretty Cheery Lynn dies, I more often than not find that I can't just stop at one card! I get a few ideas going at once and therefore ended up with an extra card this week! :)

For this card I wanted to play up the delicate gate die! I just love the super fine design on the Ornamental gate and I thought it again played well with the Graphic 45 window design in their patterned paper.

I used adhesive foam dots to create pocket design behing the gate, I find the shadow this creates gives a nice 3D look to the card. I also used another one of the Lace Corner designs I used in the top card for this one.

I used one of my all time favorite CL dies, the Fanciful Flourish as a 'stem' for my floral arrangement and again used the Sweet Williams Strip for my handmade flowers but in this case I curled the petals to create more of a rose look tothe blooms.

Cheery Lynn products used for this project:

~ Ornamental Gate - B196

~ Fanciful Flourish - B117

~ Sweet Williams Strip -B307

~ Lace Corner Deco - B162

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and hope that I've inspired you to get out your Cheery Lynn dies to play today! I look forward to sharing another project with you all next week! xo

Thankful with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

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

Did you have a moment to see our latest challenge? It's "Die Cut Flowers" and I am all about making my own flowers, in fact it's one of my favorite things to do! I was so inspired I decided to play along with our theme for this post. I chose the pretty fall papers from the Autumn Song collection by BoBunny.

"Thankful" (5.5" x 5.5" card)

To create my card, I used the largest French Flair Scalloped for the base, then I layered a French Flair Silver on top. The Fall Leaf Doily with Angel Wings is the anchor focal point of the card. The size worked nicely for my sentiment sticker. I added a bit of diamond stickles to my design for interest.

The larger orange flower to the left I used the Cheery Blossom for my base and the Miniature Rose as the center. The pattern paper used was chevron and I found it interesting to layer. The Lace Corner Deco I cut apart and used on the top and the bottom of my card along with some coordinating pearls for interest.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
French Flair Scalloped - XL13
French Flair Silver - L12
Fall Leaf Doily with Angel Wings - DL249
Chrysanthemum Strip - B311
Daisy Strip - B259

Shabby-Chic Trinket Box {Plus Bloom Video Tutorial}

Gabrielle Pollacco 7:00 AM 9 Comments

Hi everyone, it's me Gabrielle here with you today to share with you another project I made with a few of the gorgeous Cheery Lynn Dies! Lately I've been fixing up my scraproom and find myself in need of pretty little boxes to store my scrap goodies. For this box I used the amazing Gardenia flower strip die to create the center piece blooms for this box.

I started out with a simple craft paper covered box and glued one of the beautiful lacy doilies Cheery Lynn is so famous for to the top of the box. I used the Sophia's Heart Doily DL184 cut from pink card stock (it fit perfectly to the top of my box, yay!) I then layered on some burlap, white netting, some leaf flourishes (Fanciful Flourish cut from a sage green cardstock) and then added some blooms made with the Gardinia strip. I edged the lip of the top with the matching border to the doily - Sophia's Heart Border B333. Two pieces of the trim left a small gap so I cut the heart design from the center of the doily and used it as an opening for the lid adding a small button.

The blooms were super easy to make and I thought I'd do a little video tutorial to show you all how to create a varigated color design with your bloom die cuts....

Supplies used for this project:
~ Gardenia Strip B339
~ Sophia's Heart Doily DL184
~ Sophia's Heart Border B333
~ Sweet Williams D137 (small bud)
~ Fanciful Flourish B117
~ Lace Corner Deco B162

I hope you enjoyed my project for today and hope you'll give these blooms strips a try, they are super easy to make and the variations and colors are endless! xo

Pixie Delight

Lori 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Happy Friday everyone. I've had a wonderful start of a long weekend and I've done nothing but craft away, which has been super fun. This is a card I created during my craft jag using the Pixie Guardian die as the centerpiece. I love the delicateness of her, she's beautiful.

I used the angel wing only of the Chasing Rainbow Doily which was the perfect backing for my pixie.
