A Little Birthday Wish Card by Bonnie Garby

Hi friends. It's Bonnie from Make Time to Craft filling in for Amy today with a birthday card featuring some great doily and flower dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I love to use Stick It! adhesive on all my intricate die cuts. It's a very thin adhesive that you apply to the back of your cardstock before cutting the die. You just peel and stick the adhesive to the back side of your cardstock. Then place your die on the right side of the paper and cut as usual. When your are ready to attach the die cut to your card or project, simply peel off the backing and position the die where you want it. The great thing is, the adhesive does not 'grab' immediately, so you have time to play with the positioning. When you are satisfied, simply press down firmly with your fingers or a small brayer to permanently adhere it.

My roses were created using the Large, Medium and Miniature Rose dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. I cut the pieces from dark purple cardstock and marbled momi paper, shaped the petals and created the flowers. The great thing about making your own flowers is they will always perfectly match your project. I topped the card off with a pretty double-loop bow with ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Best Wishes card by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi there, this is Eva. I love our weekly challenge themes and this week is definitely a favorite. Love flowers and especially the Cheery Lynn Designs flowers so creating a card with roses was super fun!

I started my card by embossing my grey card stock using Hearts and Rose Leaves Embossing Plate and went over it with white ink pad to show the pattern even better. Than I die cut two Pierced Stacker #3, one out of grey card stock (the larger ones) and out of light pink (the smaller one) and layered them on top of each other.

I also die cut a Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily once out of cream card stock and the middle part out of grey yardstick to layer on each other and added that on top of the stackers.

Than I wen to town and created all my flowers and flourishes using Tea Rose Medium, Tea Rose Small, Judy's Blooms, Embellishments #3 and Leafy Flourish. I used cream, light pink and dark pink card stock to create my flowers with and finally I finally I die cut the Best Wishes Phrase out of dark pink card stock.

Hope you are enjoying this card as much as I loved creating it. :)

Here is the list of Cheery Lynn dies I used to create this card:

B571 - Leafy Flourish

XL21 - Pierced Stacker #3

DL307 - Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily

Vintage Themed Card with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 4 Comments

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

I have a vintage themed card to share with you today as it's one of my favorite style of card. There are several layers of our stackers as you can see, from our A2 Frames in Classic and Scalloped to the Coved Rectangles in Classic and Scalloped.

The Alpine Flourish Doily was the perfect size to layer into the design here. You can also hopefully see the subtle hint of snowflakes which are cut from vellum here.

Since the vintage image I've used includes thread spools in it, I used a tiny wooden one I had found in my local craft store. It is wrapped with a cut from one of our Tiny Expandable Borders and secured with glue. I then used it with a stick pin for an embellishment with my florals.

Details of the floral cluster.

I finished the interior of my card simply with our new Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker, then cut it again using the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped die to create the border. The Thank You #2 was added as the final step.

Springtime Thanks with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 2 Comments

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

The weather here has been incredibly beautiful! Our plants are coming in nicely and everything is so vibrant and pretty right now. This card today was inspired by the pretty colors of Spring!

I used the Anastasia Border to frame in my second layer. On top of that I used my Scalloped Rectangle Cardmaker Classic. The Ivy Corner Flourish was next and anchors in the Shuttered Window with Flower Box.

Once I selected my background layers I knew I wanted to use the Window as my focal point of the card. I cut a piece of vellum and laid a piece of cheese cloth on top to layer behind the windowframe to soften the look. I tucked behind the Sentiment Frame on the very top.

Designer's Tip: To attach the vellum and cheese cloth, I used a tiny stapler on the top of the window frame. The staples are hidden and it was easier to secure than with glue.

A mixture of tiny florals from the Babies Breath Flower Kit were mixed in with my Princess Tree to resemble lilacs. I then added some Roses into the Flower Box and a Daisy on the right side to anchor it. I added a few gems and glitter glue to finish off my card.

Nana's Card

Corina 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Corina here once again to share with you my latest card creation using Cheery Lynn Dies!

Using the dies with white cardstock allows me the flexibility to ink to match my pattern paper. I used distress ink at first and did not get the intensity that I wanted. So I grabbed three of my new Inka Golds and tried them out. It was so easy to colour my die cuts! I know that this will be a technique I will use frequently!

As you might have seen, I have been loving the look of pearls to enhance the elegance of the die cuts. On the Butterfly, I used Inka Gold in Apricot & Pink, applied a layer of Glossy Accents and then added the pearls for a finishing touch.

My mother keeps asking when I was going to make a card for her - so here Nana, this one is for you!

Cheery Lynn Dies:
Rose Leaf Strip - B241
Miniature Rose - B152
Medium Rose - B154
Large Rose - B155
Chicken Wire - FRM144
Ankara Lace Border - B332
Expandable Tiny Borders - B215
Exotic Butterfly Medium #2 - DL115

Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments last week. I absolutely love reading them.

Take care,

Corina Finley

Masculine Valentine's Inspiration with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Happy Monday crafty friends! It's Rhonda here today to share a project with you.

I thought I would challenge myself to create a masculine Valentine's card without including a heart in the design. Here's what I came up with:

"Always" (A2 size card)

I started with the Fiona's Magic Mirror frame, then added in a Rectangle Horizon Boutique Stacker Frame in red, some Chicken Wire which I cut into my own shape and layered on.

The hinges are cut from a scrap piece of cereal box chipboard. I then inked them with some dark brown chalk ink and then added a bit of Viva Decor Paint in copper with a pin to each of the nail holes. You can also punch these pieces out, but I left them in place for texture.

On the upper left you'll see some Wheat Heads and a Tiny Fanciful Flourish, on the bottom right, two Miniature Roses with Olive Branches beneath.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

Fiona's Magic Mirror - FRM140

Horizon Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL270

Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker Frames - DL271

Ship's Compass - B395

Medium Rose - B154

Miniature Rose - B152

Hinges - B399

Chicken Wire - FRM144

Lace Deco Corner D - B164

Dreaming of Spring with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 8 Comments

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

My project today is inspired by my dreamy thoughts of Spring. It's been a very cold and difficult winter where I live and all I can think about is how nice it will be to see pretty flowers and birds flying around again in the Spring. So, I decided to go with a dreamy springtime card today.

"Springtime Dreaming"

Isn't the new Classic Birdhouse so sweet? I love the details and wanted to feature it!

I've had some questions about what kind of adhesive that is used on my projects for the dies. I thought it might be helpful today to do a step by step of how I created this card and share which kind of adhesives I used along the way.

I always use my Tape Runner/ATG for layers, Glossy Accents, Glue Dots in various sizes, and Foam Dimensionals (you can get squares, dots, circles, etc.) in various depths.

To begin, I folded my paper and cut the base of this card using the 5th Scalloped Rectangle Die.
The folded card size is 4.5" x 5.5"
Next, I cut my Fiona's Magic Mirror layer, and scored it to fold and wrap to the back. I attached this layer with my tape runner leaving some open space on the top to tuck and layer other elements.
Cut the Concentric Circle Mesh, trimmed it, touched a bit of Glossy Accents on the bottom edges and tucked it behind my Fiona's Magic Mirror layer.
Cut the birdhouse, inked edges of cut pieces and attached pieces with Glossy Accents.

Adhered some glassine bag paper behind the bird hole to soften the look with Glue Dots.
Cut one Concentric Circle Mesh and attached on top of Bird House opening using a very little bit of Glossy Accents. (You can use a Q-Tip or your fingertip to do this.)

Cut 2 Princess Trees from 2 paper designs, cut the branches.
Add Foam Dimensional to back center section of Classic Birdhouse. This is important so you can tuck and layer other elements as you go.
Tack on the Princess Trees to the Foam Dimensionals until you are happy with the arrangement.
Cut 1 Sentiment Frame 1, cut it in half and adhere under your birdhouse on both sides.
Attach Classic Birdhouse to card, aligning bottom with bottom of the Fiona's Magic Mirror.
Do not glue down Princess Tree Branches, leave them so you can still move and layer them.
Cut 1 set of Quills, tuck them under the birdhouse at angles using Glossy Accents or Glue Dots.
Tie wax string around base of Classic Birdhouse and make a bow. Curl tails with dowel.
Cut one Dancing Doily Lace Border segment and wipe a bit of Glossy Accents on back to attach. Add pearls if desired.
Cut Mini Fanciful Flourish Right, layer under the birdhouse (may need to trim a bit of the tail), tacking down the leaves with Glue Dots or touches of Glossy Accents.
Cut Cherry Blossoms (3 large and 2 small), shape and attach with a brad in the center.
Cut 2 sets of Medium Roses, shape and stagger your layers using a brad . I touch my centers with a bit of Glossy Accents to make them appear more budded.
Cut smallest 2 Rose Leaf Strip Leaves 2 times, ink the edges and cut tail off. Layer and attach under the Roses using Glue Dots.
Cut 2 Olive Branches and attach on either side of your Cheery Blossom.
Adhere flowers to card using Glue Dots
Cut Bird from Birds of Earth and Sky, ink and attach with Foam Dimensional. Add a pin dot of Pearl Pen for the eye. (Or a mini gem.)
Tack down any Princess Tree leaves if desired with a tiny amount of Glossy Accents.
Cut Tiny Fanciful Flourish, use a small touch of Glossy Accents and tuck under the bird.
Cut Clouds from Glassine Bag, layer under Princess Tree, House and Fiona's Magic Mirror Frame. Use a very tiny amount of Glossy Accents on the area that will be layered and not visible.

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.

Stepping Towards Christmas with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 6 Comments

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

I've got a step card to share with you today with a bit of an unconventional holiday color scheme. This card was created with our Step Card and Snowflakes dies and several of our newer release dies as well.

The Step Card die made quick work of creating the base for my card. I honestly just love this die! Once I had my base and layers created, I inked and then stitched them down for a little added interest and texture.

I chose the Shuttered Window with Flower Box and decided to layer the Birch Tree die behind it. I did cut the tree twice, then angled the top branches off to the side for this effect. I modified my Bird a bit by cutting the back wing and angling it a bit, then I inked and added a coat of Glossy Accents.

Step Card - B348

Shuttered Window with Flower Box - FRM151

Christmas is around the corner!

Susan Longman 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Susan Longman here to share a project with you today. I have just been playing around with some Christmas Card Photo Shoots this week and thought I would pop together a layout using one of the out-takes.

For my 8”x8” layout I have used a 3”x4” photo to keep the perceptive on the page right. I have used a couple of patterned papers and layered them up with the Lilith Doily w/ Angel Wing – DL263 under the photo. I have then cut out the words from the Merry Christmas Holly Sentiment – B366 and used the outer flourish as a frame around the photo and the “Merry Christmas” as the title on the page. I added a few strips of Washi tape to the layered papers and some misting to the background cardstock. I have created the flower clusters using the Medium Rose – B154 strip and the Lace Corner Deco D – B164 as a mini doily. Added a bow in organza ribbon and doodles on some fake stitches around the edges.

Layered Oval Card by Susan Longman

Susan Longman 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi, Susan Longman here again today. I have a pretty little birthday card to share with you using different oval shapes and some of the gorgeous roses.

On the base of a plain white card I have used a few random numbers from a chipboard pack and spritzed it with some glimmermist. Then for this card I have layered the ovals horizontal and vertical to create some interest. I have used a combination of the Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker Frames – DL252 and the Oval - XM-7 to do this. I have topped the Ovals with some of the Medium Rose – B154 and Large Rose – B155 on a base of the Rose Leaf Strip – B241 and added some Small Exotic Butterflies #1 w/Angel Wings - DL112AB . All die-cuts have had a light inking with a pink ink.

Holiday Greetings

LeslieRahye 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here to share with you a frilly Holiday card using the new Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL272 and the Merry Christmas Holly Sentiment - B366! Making a shaped card is super easy with the stackers --simply diecut a folded piece of card stock overlapping the folded edge just a bit.

For this card I layered the Horizon Circle Boutique cut over my circle card base with foam tape. I colored the Merry Christmas Sentiment with Spectrum Noir Markers and Wink of Stella. With a glue pen I adhered the delicate sentiment to the front of my card. Next I added my pearl misted roses and snowflakes to the front. As a final embellishment I blinged up the front with crystal adding a touch of glue to insure their staying power.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my festive card!

Living the Life with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 4 Comments

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

Today I have a pretty shaped card to share with you. I love the look and feel of a pretty border don't you? I started with the French Flair Doily Stacker, cut it from a pretty oatmeal colored card stock, then inked the edges with a Biscotti colored chalk ink. A little touch of ink helps the details pop sometimes!

Our French Flair and French Flair Scalloped dies create the sentiment block.

The charcoal scallop layer is adhered with foam dots as is my sentiment.

My sentiment is fussy cut, then I accented it with the Mini Fanciful Flourish on the left with a few tiny blooms from the Embellishment 2 collection. The Miniature Rose and Darling Daisies were added on the right side with greenery from the Ivy Strip. Pattern papers used are "The Avenues" by BoBunny.

Playing with roses

Jenn Bedient 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello everyone!

Jenn here with my first post as guest designer for my most favorite die company! I hope this finds everyone having an absolutely wonderful and crafty weekend so far!

For my card, I pulled out my much loved rose strip dies. I've seen a technique that I've been wanting to play around with... spritzing and scrunching. I'm always so thrilled with how versatile Cheery Lynn's flower dies are and how you can get different looks even with the same dies. All three of my flowers were made with the same three Cheery Lynn rose strips (one strip of each size: miniature, medium and large).

The roses were all made of Tissue Stock. The one on the bottom left was shaped, while the rose on the top was shaped and then spritzed and scrunched. The last rose on the right was spritzed and scrunched without being shaped. Each so easy, yet so very pretty!

The card base was cut from the largest of the French Flair Stackers. The border was made with largest of the French Flair Doily Stackers, then cut out of the middle was the second largest of the French Flair Stackers, and filled in with the same cut on a different paper.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Cheery Lynn and Prickley Pear - A Winning Combination!

Joann 3:30 AM 12 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It's Joann with you today and I have a fun little project to share using my Cheery Lynn dies and some of the lovely Prickley Pear stamps and co-ordinating dies. Yes, it's a folding purse! You can find more info on it here.

As you know, this week we have been enjoying this lovely joint venture with Prickly Pear. I hope you have been enjoying the wonderful creations made by both DT's and we have provided you with some inspiration. If you haven't done so already, do pop over to the Prickly Pear Blog to see what their DT has created for you. You will be so glad you did!

Also don't forget to comment on Tamara's Sunday post for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Cheery Lynn Designs Store and also the Prickley Pear Blog for other lovely prizes.

Here are a few more pictures of my purse:

and here it is what it looks like open. I really love that you can use a variety DP's to decorate.

I really do love the way this little purse came together however, I do have a suggestion for you... If you are planning to make this, I suggest you make the top flap an 1/2 inch longer and score a 1/2 flat piece at the top so that you have somewhere to attach the handle. I think this might make it easier to close : )

Here's a list of the dies used for this project:

B152 - Miniature Rose
B154 - Medium Rose
B155 - Large Rose
