Cheery Lynn Magic

Hi Everyone!  The new Cheery Lynn Vintage Hot Air Balloon has been calling to me.  I use the smaller hot air balloons a lot and this one is different enough both in size and style that it needed a place in my die collection.

The die is a two piece set and I love having the backing for the balloon.   It is so easy to cut various papers to create different looks.

I started with the dark blue Vintage Hot Air Balloon and then cut the sparkly background.  I was originally planning a more complicated card but once the back was in place I thought the balloon could carry the design of the card on its own.  I ended up using a scallop die to add the white background layer.  The scallops reminded me of clouds and it added some needed interest.

Hello, today I'm sharing a window card.  I was planning a shaker card but with everything going on inside the window I decided to keep it simpler.  It does have a raised plastic window though.

 I cut a circle in the piece of designer paper and sandwiched the plastic between that circle and a piece of thin chipboard in which I cut a smaller circle.  I also cut the Dream word out of the same chipboard before painting it with some new sparks paint.  The mushrooms were backed with white paper and I cut the read tops and mounted them on mushrooms cut out of white.  I added all my elements and adhered the layers together with a strong double sided tape.

Hi, today sharing a nautical card.  I hope you had an opportunity to join in the Cheery Lynn June New Release Blog Hop.  I had so much fun creating with the new dies and thank you for all your sweet comments on my blog!  

If you follow my posts you know I love using dies to add dimension to projects. It was so easy to add height to this card by stacking the waves.  Typically I add double sided foam tape between layers, but for this card I just didn't glue down the wave tops to the card stock.  

The tops of the waves were sprinkled with Frantage embossing powder for a foamy look.  The boat was cut out of dark gray paper and then I cut a second boat bottom out of metallic silver.  The bottom of the boat was also backed with the darker gray paper for contrast where the detail holes show.  I cut an aqua green sail for the large sail and covered it in glitter glue and then in a clear glaze.  It really stands out on the card.  Dream Big and the clouds were also accented with clear glitter glue.

Cheery Lynn Dream

Good Morning!  Since the challenge over at Cheery Lynn Designs is Anything Goes this week I thought I'd try my hand using some of my mixed media supplies.  I began with a piece of patterned card stock that I colored with distress ink.  I brushed a little shimmery embossing paste over the top.  I then ripped a piece of card stock that had been cut with the Lattice #3 die.  I added crackle paint to the top and glued it down to the main layer.  

The Chandelier die was colored with distress ink and chunky embossing powders.  I also sprayed some white dimensional spray in spots.  The Pierced Banner was cut from another piece of patterned card stock and a gold cord was tied to the side of it.  Dream is from the Dream Big set and the Sweet Christine flowers were cut with white and colored with ink.  I scrunched the flower petals to get an aged look. 

Last I cut a pink card with the  Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker die to back it with.  I flipped the die over and traced the curve on the main layer and then cut the sides because I didn't have the matching die to layer inside.

Cheery Lynn Dream Card

Hi,  I'm back today with a new Cheery Lynn Designs card.  I've had a lot going on lately and I wanted to make a fun, lighthearted card.  I pulled out my alcohol ink markers (mixed copics and shin han), Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp, aqua card stock and started playing.  

The bottom layer is 5 3/4 square piece of patterned paper, topped with a 5 1/2 piece of white paper that I embelished with the Silver Stitching Tool die.  I added another patterned paper on top and cut into it with the next largest size of the stitching tool.  I love the stitched edge this creates.  I then layered the new Pierced Stackers #3, a Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily, and then the top layer is a Silver Stacker from the Oval Classic set.

I cut the smaller Dream out of the Dream Big set and glued it to the Paris Signs 4.  The beautiful Whistle a Happy Tune note was cut out of gray paper and sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink.

Last I made the pink flowers using the Small Gardenia distress inks and a stylus tool to mold them.  I scrunched the flowers up while they were still wet with the ink to get a more distressed crinkly look. The blue flower was made using the Shasta Daisy die, sponging with cracked pistachio distress ink and molding with a stylus tool.  The leaves were cut from green paper using the new Leafy Flourish die. Yellow rhinestones were glued to the centers of the pink flowers and a blue pearl was added to the daisy to add sparkle.

Welcome to my blog today!  I was playing around with my new Magnolia stamp and this is the result.

The Magnolia Doohickys flowers were cut from red card stock that I'd stamped and embossed with  a clear glitter embossing powder.   Not sure it's visible in the photograph but they have a nice sheen.  I colored the edges of the white Cheery Lynn flowers with distress ink and then applied stickles to the edges.  The Cheery Lynn Dream Big die cut was embossed with gold Frantage powder and the Frantic Stamper Musical Score was embossed with shabby white Frantage powder.

Thanks for visiting!
