Cheery Lynn Happy

Hi!  I'm back today with a new card featuring the 3D Peacock die.  I love all my dies but I'm always amazed by the level of detail in this one.  It's also the perfect die to use when making a quick card because of its large size.   I had so much fun coloring the peacock and I blended a number of different distress inks to get the blue shade.  I also added flat-backed rhinestones to the feathers and a black rhinestone for his eye.  

I cut the larger Happy word from the Happy die set.  The elegant script and the flexibility of mixing and matching other words makes these dies really versatile.  Last, before I glued the Peacock down I pulled up all the eyes on the feathers to add a three dimensional element.

Cheery Lynn Hello Peacock

Hello! Today I created a card around this beautifully detailed Cheery Lynn 3D Peacock die cut.  My four year old and I had a lot of fun playing with my spritz bottles.  It's difficult to see but the entire peacock shimmers.  We made a number of marbled looking papers with my sprays and I cut the peacock after one dried.  

The card base was covered with a black card front, layered with teal, then white and then I cut a blue mat out of the Pierced Stacker #3 die.  I added the hello from the Bohemian Word Set in black for some added contrast.  I just love the big sentiment and the script font.  I find I use it on both formal cards as well as more clean and simple designs.  

Before gluing the peacock to the card front I added a green rhinestone for his eye and pushed out his feathers from behind with a stylus tool.  I wanted to show off all the beautiful dimension and detail this die has built into it.

Cheery Lynn September Release Blog Hop - Gift Cards!

Hi crafty peeps!  Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs September Gift Card Blog Hop!   I am so excited to show you some of Cheery Lynn's amazingly beautiful and versatile new Gift Cards.  Check out my teammates blogs along the hop so you can see more in action!  If you arrived from Debbie's blog you are on the right track.  If not, you can head back to the main blog HERE to start from the beginning.  Make sure to stop back at the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog and comment there for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate. 

I made this little gift card using the new Decorative Window Gift Envelope.  I decorated both the envelope and the card.  This die set comes with the main die to create a little envelope, a square to cut a little insert card, plus a number of other little accent dies like the adorable birds in this card and the flower.  There are even a few more dies included that I didn't use.  

This was so fun to make and I hope this has inspired you to give it a try.  These cards are perfect to put on a larger card (as Eva did), add to a small gift or use in a gift bag.  The Happy sentiment came from the Winter Holiday Word Set.

I embellished the back of the little card inside with the Thinking of You Square die.  It fit perfectly! Below is the card front with the little blue flower in the corner.  It's a single panel that I cut using the square die from the set.  It would be simple to cut a folded card though like some of my teammates did.

Halloween Owl

Good morning!  Today I'm posting the first owl card I made.  It's similar to the previous post but I switched up a couple of the dies I used and the colors are very different.  The stamp is from IndigoBlu.  I stamped it in black on white card stock and then colored the background with a blending tool and distress ink.  I mounted the imae on black cardstock and distressed the edges of the frame.  

The dies used are all from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I used the Spider Net in the corner, the Witch Hat, the Key from the Lock and Keys set and the Pierced Banner,

Cheery Lynn Hedwig Halloween

 Good morning!  My daughter requested I make a Harry Potter card for her friend's birthday.  I enjoyed making it so much that I made a second using different colors.  Here it is...

I stamped the owl in black and then used distress inks to color the background.  I stamped the owl twice and cut one out which I then used as a mask when I colored the background.  I didn't use tape to mask, I just held the cut out owl in place over the "good owl" as I sponged color onto the background.  The card base is an A2 size.  I layered black card stock, then a design paper and then framed the stamped image in black too.   

I added two Spider Nets, a little dangling spider from the new Whimsical Spider set, the key (using wings from the Dragonfly #13) and the Witch Hat.  I embellished the die cuts with glitter glue, rhinestones, white frantage embossing powder on the side of the card and dragonfly wings, and silver frantage on the key.

Cheery Lynn Celebrate

Hello! I'm sharing a card that's also featured on the Cheery Lynn Blog today. I've been making so many holiday cards and wanted to make something different.  I pulled out my floral dies and pastel colors and ended up with a spring card.  

First I cut the Canadian Kaleidoscope Doily die out of kraft paper and then found a patterned paper that coordinated for underneath.  I love using these Cheery Lynn Doily dies.  They are so detailed and lovely it's so easy to create a stunning card with just a few dies.  I glued both to a pink A2 sized card.  The arrangement was made by first making a flower with the Build a Flower #2 die.  I scrunched the petals and sprayed them with distress ink spray and glimmer mist so they sparkle. 

 The Flourish #3, white Wreath Strip leaves and yellow leaves from the Ivy Strip were all tucked into the arrangement.  The little bird is from the Feathered Friends set and he was colored with distress ink.  The Celebrate word is the larger of the two dies from the set and was also colored with distress ink to match the flower.

Cheery Lynn Christmas Cardinal

Hi, I'm back sharing a Christmas card inspired by this week's Cheery Lynn Designs challenge.  I began by layering the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames in red on top of a 5.5 inch square card.  I took a smaller white piece of card stock and distressed the edges before layering a piece of design paper cut with the French Flair Boutique Stacker on top. 

I thought the Fancy Bird House decorated in red and green would make a cute holiday home for thie Cardinal from the Feathered Friends set.  I cut the birdhouse using kraft paper and then glued different colored papers to the back to add the detail I wanted.  I also double cut the fence and layered the white fence on top of the kraft base.  The snow is texture paste and then I also added sparkle by adding a glitter paste on top.  I used two layers of the Holly Lace Flourish for greenery and added a snowflake from the Snowflake Set #2.

Classy Cards Perfect Refreshment

Hello friends!  Unfortunately my non-crafting world is infringing on my crafting time lately and I need to scale back a little.  I'm sad to say this is my last post for the Classy Cards 'n Such Blog.  It's been a wonderful experience working with such an amazingly talented and supportive design team.  I will miss them all greatly and I know I'll be stopping by the blog daily for wonderful new inspiration.  You can still see a virtual library of my cards on the Classy Cards Blog and can always save 10% off your entire purchase at Classy Cards 'n Such Shop with coupon code JENNY-10.  

I began playing with my new Memory Box Distressed Addington Collage die and this card evolved.  I first cut a piece of Authentique Favorite paper with the Memory Box Distressed Addington die.  I used the die to cut the paper twice, once in the lower right corner and once in the top left.  I tried to layer this on top of an A2 white card but there wasn't enough contrast so instead I glued it to a piece of Kraft paper.  The Kraft panel was then adhered to the card front with Joy Foam Pads.

I cut the Memory Box Quinn Flourish Circle and colored it with distress ink.  The nest and bird were cut using the Memory Box Meadowbird Branch dies.  There's such a nice assortment of foliage in this set.  The Quinn Flourish was also adhered using Joy Foam Pads for additional dimension.  Last I stamped the Impression Obsession Sit in the Shade quote on the front of the card.

Classy Cards Bird Picnic

Hello!  Today I'm sharing an inspiration card for the Summer Picnic Challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  I sorted through all my food dies and this is what came together. I hope you like the result.  Remember to use my coupon code Jenny-10 at the Classy Cards Shop to receive 10% off your entire purchase.

This challenge calls for kraft, red and white to be used so I cut a piece of red paper for the picnic blanket.  I used Kraft Card Stock to cut the Poppystamps Bushel Basket and colored the bands with distress ink.  The handled basket is a die from my stash.  The apples were cut from the Impression Obsession Bushel of Apples die.  The Memory Box Scalloped Cake Stand was colored with pumice stone distress ink and the Memory Box Petite Cakes was colored with pink distress ink.

I stamped the Impression Obsession  Why Do Birds stamp with black ink and then added the Impression Obsession Leafy Branches to the side. The little bird is from Memory Box's Open Studio Meadowbird Branch set.  I colored the body with pink distress ink and the smaller accent feathers with brown distress ink.

Thanks for visiting and I can't wait to see your Summer Picnic creations this week!

Classy Cards Red Bird

Hi I'm back today with a new card inspired by this week's Classy Cards 'n Such challenge Summer Picnic Color.  I focused more on the color than the picnic theme with this card.

 I started with a Kraft 5.5 inch card base, added a white layer on top that was cut with a die in my stash.  I used more Kraft paper to cut the Poppystamps Claudette Frame that I then cut the center out of. I love playing with Frantage Embossing Powder.  Using this Poppystamps Vintage Birdcage die gave me a perfect opportunity to use it.  I cut the birdcage, coated it with versamark ink, sprinkled Vintage on it and heated with a heat tool from behind.  I like the varied looks you can achieve with the Frantage powder.  

I added red color to the card with a bird from the Memory Box Resting Birds die.  The result makes this look more like a holiday card than a summer card though.  Kraft paper was also used to create foliage from the Memory Box Open Studio Meadowbird Branch die.  Some of the other foliage was cut in red and it makes the branches look like red berries. The flowers and rhinestones are from a die in my stash.  

Thanks for visting and don't forget to check out the wonderful new products in stock in the store and join this week's challenge.

Happy Wednesday!  I'm posting today with a card for Classy Cards n' Such's  Red Black Rooster Challenge.  I started this card with a white  A2 card base.  I added a chicken wire background die from my stash that I cut with Kraft card stock.  I then cut the Sue Wilson Delicate Fronds die with red card stock and glued them on top of the chicken wire.  

I stamped the Impression Obsession Why do Birds Stamp onto white card stock and then cut it out with a Spellbinders Labels 22 die.  Using the die as a stencil I colored the inside with distress ink and my mini ink blending tool.  It was then adhered using Joy Foam Pads for dimension.

Last I added a rooster from the Impression Obsession Roosters and Chickens die set.  He was colored with distress ink and then I brushed a little metallic champagne acrylic paint from my stash on top for added sheen.

Classy Cards Cherry Blossoms

Hi friends!  Today I'm sharing a card inspired by the new Classy Cards 'n Such "Cherry Blossoms & Dogwoods" Challenge.  This challenge had me stumped until I realized that I could turn almost any little flower into a cherry blossom!  Don't forget to use my coupon JENNY-10 to save 10% off your next order at Classy Cards 'n Such. 

I created the central image using the Memory Box Meadowbird Branch die set.  I cut the branches twice out of brown, white and green card stock.  The flowers are from a tiny flower die in my stash and I used a stylus from the McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to shape them.  I cut the bird and colored him with distress ink.

The arrangement was glued to two Spellbinders Circles and they were popped up using Joy! Foam Pads for dimension. I glued them to the Poppystamps Claudette Frame which was adhere to a layer of Botanical Tea design paper.  I layered that onto a square of white card stock and then glued the entire sandwich to a 5.5" square blue card.

Last I added a Poppystamps Butterfly that was covered in fine glitter and backed with a pink Poppystamps Cheviot Butterfly and added three pink Dew Drops to the bottom corner.

Classy Cards Blue Bird

Hi Everyone, I'm posting with a card for the Classy Cards 'n Such's new Thoughtful Challenge.  I have a nice collection of bird stamps and dies but I haven't used this pretty stamp yet (although I've used others in the set) so I focused the card around it.

I stamped the Inky Antics Bird Bath and Feeder stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copics.  I cut the image using Spellbinders Oval Bliss die.  The die was used as a stencil to add green distress ink to the edges.  I backed the oval with a bright blue piece of card stock cut with Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight die to make the card more vibrant like the inspiration photo.

I cut a piece of lovely pink design paper from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss paper pad behind the blue to also pick up the pink flowers in the photo.

The oval was popped up higher with Joy Foam Pads.  I cut the Thinking of you words from the  Impression Obsession Greeting Set with white card stock.

Last I had to cover up a bit of extra ink that ended up on the image after one of my children left a sponge dauber on top of my card, so I added a flower made from the new Heartfelt Creations Botanical Wings die.  I cut it out of the scraps from the Vintage Bliss background paper.   I inked the edges with Worn Lipstick distress ink, shaped the petals with my Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and Molding Mat and added a sparkly Rock Candy Center and a bit of Wink of Stella for sparkle.

Thanks for looking and I hope you can play along this week!

Classy Cards Winter Song

Hi, this is my card for this week's Classy Cards 'n Such Winter Birds Challenge.  After seeing the inspiration photo I immediately thought of the Impression Obsession Birch tree die, but as it's still on my wishlist, I turned to other beautiful dies in my stash and this is the result.

I wanted to frame a scene so I started by cutting a frame using two dies from the Spellbinders Matting Basics A set.  I then cut the Impression Obsession Bare Tree and Impression Obsession Deer. 

I arranged the interior dies, glued them to the back of the frame and cut off any overhanging feet and branches.  I added Joy Foam Pads to the back of the die cuts,  flipped the frame to the front, covered it in glue and then sprinkled glitter over the entire scene. After the image had been glittered, I pulled off the Joy Foam Pads backing and pressed the frame onto the blue card stock to adhere it.  

I stamped my sentiment in black and then cut a little red bird from the Impression Obsession Small Birds die. I glued him to a sparkly branch to finish the card.

Classy Cards Pine Bough

Hello!  I was so inspired by the colors in the Classy Cards 'n Such challenge photo this week.  I loved those beautiful decorated cookies.  If your like me and have some holiday supplies sitting not getting much love, pull them out and come join us in the challenge this week for a chance to win a great prize. 

I started by cutting white and Kraft card stock panels with the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A die. I had a very different card in mind but it wasn't quite coming together so, I pulled out my Bo Bunny Mistletoe paper pad, saw this beautiful red patterned paper and went a different direction.  I cut a piece of the red paper and layered it in between the two I'd cut using the Spellbinders Matting Basics A die.  If I'd had the Matting Basics B die I would have used that instead.  These dies really make lovely mats.

I cut the Memory Box Snowflake Ornament die out of white card stock and pressed it into a Versamark ink pad, making sure to ink the die cut well.  I sprinkled silver embossing powder over the sticky inked side and then heat embossed the die.  It gave the die cut such a nice finish.  I then cut a Memory Box Classic Ornament die out of the same Bo Bunny Patterned paper that I used for the background panel and glued it behind the snowflake ornament.

I cut two Impression Obsession Pine Branch branches out of a dark green card stock.  I glued one down and then looped a piece of silver cord through the second before gluing it on top but slightly offset of the first die cut.  I offset the branches to create more depth and texture.  I curled up many of the pine needles to add a realistic look.

I tied a bow in the silver cord and then tucked the other end behind the ornament that I popped up using Joy! Foam pads.

I should probably have done it earlier, but I stamped the white panel with the Inky Antics Sentiment from the Bird Bath and Feeder Stamp Set and then glued all of the card layers in place.  The top white panel was also popped up higher using Joy! Foam Pads to add extra interest.

Last, I cut an Impression Obsession Bird out of red card stock and nestled him between some pine needles to go with the sentiment.  Classy Cards 'n Such carries a similar set of bird dies in the store called Memory Box Resting Birds.

Classy Cards Floral Birdcage

Hi!  I've been wanting to use this birdcage die for a while but never picked it up.  I started playing with the cage and flowers and then kept going.

I cut the Memory Box Tiffany frame twice  to create the shadow using black card stock.  The birdcage and top Tiffany frame were colored with Antique Bronze Distress Metallic Stain.  The distress stain adds a lovely sheen.  I also sponged distress ink in Peacock Feathers and Antique Linen on the outside of the Tiffany frame to add visual dimension.

The little yellow Spiral Flowers were colored with distress ink and the pink ones were colored with Glimmer Mist.  I rolled them with the paper roller from the blossom tool kit.  I love these little flowers, they are perfect for cards!

The frames were created with Spellbinders Labels Eight and Spellbinders dies which can be special ordered from the Classy Cards 'n Such store by emailing Beverly.

Thinking of You

Good Morning!  Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card.  I usually have difficulty creating sympathy cards but luckily this one came together quickly.

I've wanted to use one of these tree branch die's for a while so maybe the idea for this card had been rattling around in my subconscious.  The flowers were cut from a blue-green design paper with a soft swirl pattern.  I shaped them with the McGill Paper Shapers tools and a molding mat.  The centers are liquid pearls.  The bird was colored with distress ink and the sentiment was stamped in Close to Cocoa from Stampin' Up.  The top layer was popped up with foam tape.

Hello!  I designed this for the Dies R Us Christmas in July Challenge.  Hope you can join us to play for the chance to win a voucher to the Dies R Us store.  The selection of dies is absolutely incredible, it seems like the store adds new dies daily!  They also offer free shipping in the US over $35 and internationally over $50.  

Close up you can see how the poinsettia's shimmer.  I covered them in a fine white glitter and gave them rhinestone centers. 

For the interior of the window, I blended distress ink and water on white cardstock.  After I was done, I wanted it to look softer so I added a piece of wax paper over to create a stained-glass effect.

I added tiny rhinestones to the ends of the swirls.  The window was colored with TH Distress Metallic Stain.  I added a piece of plastic (from toy packaging) underneath the window frame with foam tape to add dimension.

IO Birdhouse Garden

I made this card for the Impression Obsession "Welcome to my Garden" Challenge.  The card came together differently than I'd envisioned.  The scene reminds me of my in-law's garden in Long Island, NY.  They live close to the beach and they have tall beautiful grasses in their garden as well as birdhouses.

I cut the birdhouses twice, once in white and once in blue.  I cut out some of the blue pieces and glued them on top of the white houses. I used copics to color the bottom of the birdhouses.  The birdhouses are popped up with foam tape to add dimension and the Circle Shaker Frame has a double layer of foam tape to pop it up even higher.  Thanks for looking!
