Cheery Lynn Best Wishes

Hi everyone!  Today I planned my card around this lovely Best Wishes Sentiment Square die that I just picked up on clearance at  Cheery Lynn Designs.  I love these word dies in squares, circles and ovals.  It's so easy to build a card around them and the beautiful font creates a wonderful focal point on projects.

The square fit perfectly in many of the doilies and for this card I used the Dutch Daisy Square Doily.  I used white and blue with a creamy tan thrown in to add to the bridal theme. I used my go-to Floral Bouquet Kit for the leaves.  All of these leaves came from the same set.  The flowers are actually from the Embellishments #3 die set.  Cheery Lynn has such a wide range of flower dies but I wanted to play with something a little different and I liked the light, airy quality these created.

Cheery Lynn Best Wishes

Hi everyone!  If you are in the US I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I needed a baptism card last week and made a card similar to this, I thought the white on white would work well for a wedding or shower card too.  It's difficult to see in the photo but the cream colored card stock has a beautiful metallic shimmer that adds an elegant touch.  

 I began with a 5.5" card base and then layered a square of white card stock cut with the Circle Pierce & Cut Tool.  I then added a shimmery layer cut with the Square Scalloped LG Stacker die.   Last I added the Quadrafoil Square Doilyand the Best Wishes also cut with shiimmery cream card stock.

Hi, I'm back with my card for the new Classy Cards 'n Such "Neutrals with a Frame" Challenge.  I used my new Cheery Lynn dies from the Classy Cards 'n Such shop (I can't resist a great sale!)  to create a white on white card.  I plan to use this as an engagement card but with different word dies it could work for any occasion.  

I rolled the fringe flowers with the roller tool from the McGill paper blossoms tool kit and molded the roses with tools from the other McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kit.  I then added clear Stickles on the edges of the Cheery Lynn Roses and Wink of Stella on the Cutie Fringe IV flowers.  

I cheated a little with the white on white.  I cut all the elements and arranged the flowers but the card seemed to need a bit of contrast.  Using my Mini Distress Tool, I added antique linen ink to the Japanese  Lace Frame and Flower Stems.  The flower stems actually came with the frame and they were perfect to put into the top of the vase.

I added clear distress crackle paint to the vase, and after  having a little trouble with my heat tool and some bubbling, I added a second coat and let it dry naturally overnight.  This is the result.  

I used Joy Foam Pads to adhere the flowers and vase to the card and glued down the Japanese Lace Border and Cheery Lynn Best Wishes sentiment with Art Institute adhesive.  

Thanks for looking and remember to check out the Cheery Lynn section for more great dies before they are gone at the sale prices.  Unfortunately they won't be re-stocked.  Use code CLD for 50% off all Cheery Lynn dies.

Hello!  My sister was recently engaged and this is the card I created for her.  The Cheery Lynn Doily die is new and the rest is vintage-looking and blue.  There's nothing borrowed though.  :)

The Authentique Favorite paper coordinated well with a gray 5.5" square card and I added a piece of white card stock in between.  I distressed the edges of both the designer paper and white card stock and then used Joy Foam pads to pop the Authentique paper higher for dimension.

I cut the Cheery Lynn Notre Dame Doily and glued it to the right side of the card.  Then I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms Stamp with Versamark Ink and heat embossed the image with a sparkly silver embossing powder from my stash.  I cut the flowers with the matching Arianna Blooms die, colored the petals with distress ink and Mini Ink Blending Tool, and then molded the blooms with my Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and Molding Mat.

The white blossoms were cut with the centers of the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die.  I glued them together and added blue rhinestones.  I glued a big silver rhinestone to the center of the large bloom too.

I cut the Cheery Lynn Best Wishes die, colored it with pumice stone, peacock feathers and tumbled glass distress ink and then added sparkle with my Wink of Stella pen.

I arranged the flowers, adhered them with Joy Foam Pads and tucked in a few Cheery Lynn Mini Flourishes. I added the satin bow and gray pearls to finish it off.
