Hello!

Thanks for joining me today, Corina, here on the Cheery Lynn Blog.

For my card this week, I stamped, watercoloured, embossed and inked the background with Distress Inks on watercolour paper. I then die cut the stamped image out using the Pierced Stacker #4 set. I placed a larger black cardstock die cut (from the same set) to cover the die cut hole. 

I then layered the stamped image on top. I inked a variety of foliage die cuts with Distress Inks and placed in the bottom left and top right corners. I used the Build a Flower #2 to create my large flower and the Embellishment #2 for the small buds.

My Sentiment Frame was also cut from watercolour paper and inked to match the background. I stamped and embossed my sentiment in black. Added a few rhinestones to the center of the flowers and stamping.

I hope you will play along in our Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store.

Hi everyone! It's just around the corner from Mother's Day and so I thought I would make a Mother's Day Easel Card using Cheery Lynn Designs dies. It is also this week's challenge too, so check it out. This easel card base was made using the second largest "scalloped circle" It is about 5 inches which is the size I typically like to use, but if you like a bigger card you can use the biggest "scalloped circle" which is around 6 inches around. I then cut the "scalloped circle" the 3rd largest in a lighter purple. It is about the same size as the "Florence Filigree Doily". I die cut the doily out in white twice and saved all the pieces inside for later. 

The "sweet williams strip  flowers" were cut twice and all the centers were inked with dark distressing purple. There are different size pearls in the centers. Each flower of the same size was layered on top of each other which will give you 4 flowers sizes per die cut run. The inside pieces of the "florence filigree" were originally white and I just inked both sides in green distressed ink.  The sentiment was from Microsoft Word and printed  in purple on white cardstock. The die cut is the third smallest "pierced stacker #4".  Afterwards, I fussy cut around the die in a dark purple cardstock to enhance it a bit more. Place pop dots under the sentiment because this will be how the card will stand up later. 

Here is a closer view of the flowers and "flourish #17" leaves. They were die cut and then placed through the embossing machine to show the leaves lines. The "dandelions" were cut in white and then inked purple on the flower ends. 

I added a purple double looped bow on top and you can see it folds flat for mailing or placing in an envelope. Lots of occasions you can use this card for...Birthdays, Thank You, Wedding, Thinking Of You....and of course Mother's Day! 

Hope you enjoyed!

Hi everyone! It's Lisa back today sharing a new project and video tutorial on my Tom the Turkey Table Decorations for Cheery Lynn Designs. I wanted to make some cute little turkeys for my table this upcoming Thanksgiving. My brother has five children and I thought they would like them on their plates and then they can take them home. They are about 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Super easy to make and it gives your Thanksgiving table a bit of color. These were also inspired by this week's challenge "Autumn Colors"

The papers I used are only one sided patterned papers for my rosettes/feathers, but you can use double sided patterned papers to give your turkey a more fuller feathered look. I also added little wiggly eyes on the kraft turkey head, just to make them more playful for the children.

Here you can see the Tom the Turkeys from above...They really are fun to make....

Here is the quick video tutorial on how I made them: 

Thanks for watching!

Hello Crafters!

I hope every one checked out the New Release over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Website! There is an assortment of great new dies for you to create with.

My card for today's post features a New Release die set called the Best Teacher Ever. It comes as a set of 2 - the apple which has the Best Teacher Ever cut from it and the little cute Worm!

While I was colouring (inking) the worm, my son was calling him Fred! So for Fred the Worm, I cut him from white cardstock, inked with Distress inks and used a glitter pen over. I added a small piece of white cardstock behind his eyes and used a black glaze pen for his eyes. 

My flowers are created from the Sweet Christine, and the Sweet Williams Strip. I added the leaves from the Tea Rose Medium die and three from the Rose Leaf Strip.

I hope you will play along in our weekly Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store.

Hello! 

Thank you for joining me! Last week my card was Halloween themed, this week Christmas! A beautiful Holiday Die with glitter and Rhinestones!

My Card started with the awesome A2 Frame dies. I first used the A2 Frames Rectangular Classic dies and then layered the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped die. On top of the Rectangular Scalloped, I layered the Alpine Flourish Doily, another A2 Frames Rectangular Classic die and centered the Pierced Stacker #4. I matted the Pierced Banner on top of the Horizon Fishtail Banner and center on my card.

To create the Jingle Bell Stocking, I applied Be Creative Tape (double sided tape with a backing) to one side of cardstock, placed the die cut face down on top and put thru my die cut machine. I then pulled off the backing, sprinkled glitter and burnished with my finger. I backed with two different pattern papers, added burgundy rhinestones and centered on my card.

Hello Cheery Lynn Design friends!  It's Karen here today sharing

a card I made for this week's challenge!  It's a quick layered "thank you" card,

that comes together pretty quickly!

First, you start by layering the Square Classic Silver Stacker right on top 

of the  Square Scalloped Stacker .  Then, you take the Fleur De Lis Doily

and place the Circle Classic Silver Stacker right on top.  Now,

adhere both of these layered sets together.

Lastly,  layer the remaining dies in this order:  Pierced Stacker #4

Flourish #6, and then the beautiful Chrysanthemum Strip die!

I added a sweet little stamped sentiment and a beautiful metal brad

to the center of the flower...and, that's it!

Hello, welcome back to the Cheery Lynn Blog! Corina here with you today. I have a rich, earthy, layered card to share. I hope you like it!

So lets jump right into the step I used to create this card. 

I first cut three layers of cardstock, one at 4 1/2 inches x 5 3/4 inches one 4 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches, and one at 4 1/8 inches x 5 3/8 inches. I distressed and inked the edges of the largest, embossed both of the other two with the Wood Grain/Leaves embossing texture plate using the leaves side. I inked them both with brown ink (one a darker shade). I then used two dies from the Pierced Stacker #4 and cut the smaller one out from the lighter brown Leaf embossed cardstock. Placing the die in the center so I could still use the outside (discarded/negative) as a card matte. I repeated with the larger Pierced Stacker #4 die and the darker brown carstock.

I glues all three mattes together. Then cut the Fall Leaf Doily out twice. I inked with a blend of green shades and placed one Fall Leaf Doily down on my card front and fussy cut the leaves out of the second and placed them aside.

I cut the Thankful Harvest Cornucopia out twice also. One I inked with a bronze brown and the other I inked each piece with different colours according to the type of vegetable/fruit. Cut out & pasted the vegetable/fruit to the bronze brown die cut and used glossy accents to enhance the detailed cuts outs.

I placed the finished Thankful Harvest Cornucopia, my Pierced Banner sentiment and the cut leaves to my card front.

In the picture below, you are able to see the multiple layers that the card has. These layers create a rich and dimensional card without it being too heavy.

Dies used:

Above I used the Pierced Stacker #4 to cut the map and picture pattern paper. I used the largest Hello from the Hello (Set of 2) as my sentiment. I outlined the die cut with a black pen to give depth and used a glitter pen on the kraft cardstock for shimmer. 

Below you will see an up close picture of one Ticket from the Pair of Tickets die set. I used the Old Parchment embossing plate to add texture to the ticket and the small post card behind. You can also see that I have incorporated two of the Curved Border dies along the left side. 

Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,
