Cheery Lynn Happy Camper

Hi again!  I've been crafting up a storm with the new Cheery Lynn Retro Release dies. I have a girl scout, cub scout and boy scout in my house as well as another future cub. I envision  this Happy Camper die set getting a ton of use.  The lines on the camper make it easy to cut and paper piece so you can customize the color.  I also backed it with a silver metallic paper that shows through the windows.  The tire was colored with a black marker.

Cheery Lynn Imagine

Hi, it's Jenny here on the blog today.  I've been in a vintage mood lately and this is what I came up with.  I just love the detail on the Chasing Rainbows Doily.  It cut out beautifully for me too.  I love how Cheery Lynn die cuts fall out of the dies so easily.

 I used the second largest die in the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped Die Set  to cut the patterned paper.  I mounted it on kraft paper cut slightly smaller than the A2 card.  The kraft card stock was distressed with ink and the edges were roughed up too.  I glued the Chasing Rainbows Doily and then popped up the old car with foam adhesive after backing it with yellow patterned paper.

The wheel spokes are brown sequins with black rhinestone centers.

Cheery Lynn Cool Dude Shaker

Hello!  I'm sharing a masculine clean and simple style card using the new Cheery Lynn Shaker Dies.  I used the Star Shaker for this card and the Pierced Star dies.  The points on the pierced stars are less rounded but the neon green color unites them visually.

The shaker pieces inside are from the Mini Happy Birthday and Mini Confetti sets.  They work really well together. The Confetti shakers are made up of circles, squiggles, squares and triangle shapes.  I couldn't find my beads (it's always when I need something I can't seem to find it!) but along with the confetti and Happy Birthday I would have also liked to incorporate some beads into the shaker.  

These shakers are so simple to create with the layered dies and they really create an extra wow factor on a project.  My kids just LOVE them.

Dies R Us Going Camping

Hi friends!  I'm back today with an inspiration card for Dies R Us's new challenge Outdoor Fun.  The camping dies are from Cheery Lynn's last release.  This card was created on an A2 card base.  Everything was colored with sponges and distress ink.  The stamped sentiment is from Riley and Co. and reminds me of a friend of mine and fellow scout mom.  I get a kick out of this saying, it's how I'd like to camp too.

Cheery Lynn You're Super!

Hi, I'm back today with another superhero card.  I used a number of the same dies and image from my last one, but switched up a few things.  I began by layering design papers with red, white and blue card stock.  I stamped and colored the Kraftin' Kimmie image with copics before cutting it out with the Circle Stitch and Cut die.  The stitching adds such great detail.

I popped up the background from the Action Words die and added letters from the Varsity 3/4" Tall Uppercase Alphabet.  I also adhered the Pennant with foam adhesive for extra dimension. To add the blue to the center of the pennant, I just cut the centers out of another pennant I had cut.  I really liked the contrast of adding another layer to the pennant.  Last I added a few adhesive gems to the pennant.

Cheery Lynn You're Super!

Hi, friends!  I wanted to try something different and use these awesome new Action Word dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I began by stamping and coloring an image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  My son handed me the paper and I thought it was my usual card stock but I think it was coated because my alcohol markers seemed to slide on the surface.  I apologize for my poor coloring but it cut beautifully with the Circle Stitch and Cut Tool die though.

I cut the Action Words background with a red patterned paper and the Pow and Bang words with a navy blue card stock.  I cut the Pierced Banner die with the same blue card stock and then stamped and cut the sentiment out of white paper.  The blue patterned paper was cut with the Square Stitch Nesting Set.  This die set doesn't cut the surrounding square which gives you a lot of versatility because you can add multiple lines of stitching on your projects.

Cheery Lynn Gone Fishing Memory Book

Hi, I'm thrilled to share some of Cheery Lynn Design's new release dies today.  This memory book was created with the Memory Book A2 Hearts & Ribbons die.  It's such a simple die but you can create some really amazing projects.

My children have been doing a lot of fishing with cub and boy scouts lately (even my daughter) so I thought this book would be perfect to display photos.  The great thing about it is that you can make the book as large as you want by varying the number of pages.  I wish I'd had this die sooner - it would have been perfect for making a personal gift for my daughter's teacher last year who retired.

I also layered the new Fishing Boat Set and Lighthouse Set dies to make a little scene.  Hope you like it and make sure to check out the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog today to see more inspiration from my amazing DT sisters!

Cheery Lynn Amazing

Hi, I'm here today with a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs.  I don't often make shaped cards and thought I'd give it a try, I thought the round shape nicely complimented the hot air balloon.

The bottom layer is the largest from the Circle Scalloped die set topped by the largest Circle Classic Silver Stackers and then another scalloped circle was added to that cut from design paper.  The two large bottom layers were colored with distress inks.  

I cut the balloon die, backed it with the matching angel wing and colored both with distress inks.  The compass, and barbed wire were also colored with distress ink as was the Fishtail Banner.  The sentiment is a stamp from Riley & Company.  I used foam tape to pop up the banner, balloon and compass dies and for added bling, glued flat-backed rhinestones to the compass and balloon.  

I cut the Fleur de Lis and used a frantage silver embossing powder on it for an aged look before gluing to the banner.

Cheery Lynn Go Team!

Hi, I'm posting today with a masculine card using dies from Cheery Lynn's new release.  I cut three banners using the new Pierced Banners dies, one large and two small and then glued them to the green patterned paper.  The helmet was cut out of orange card stock and popped up with foam adhesive. Three footballs were cut from the Sports Pack dies and backed with white card stock before also adhering with foam adhesive.

T-E-A-M was cut from the Varsity Uppercase Alphabet.  The font coordinates well with the word "GO!" included with the Football Helmets.

Classy Cards Name Frame

Hi,  this is posting today over at the Classy Cards 'n Such Blog. I've made Jungle and Princess themed name frames for my younger children but not for my oldest.  He is bridging to Boy Scouts soon and I thought it was time to finally make him one.

I began with a 7.5" square of light blue paper.  The frame is 8"square.  I cut the letters with a die from my stash out of brown paper and then added distress ink with my Mini Ink blending tool to make them look a little dirtier.    I also added a clear glaze to the top of the letters so they'd have a more substantial "feel".  

I mounted the blue layer onto a larger sheet of green card stock with Joy Foam Pads.  The green layer was then backed with brown card stock to pick up the color from the letters.  I added the white mountains popping them up with Joy Foam Pads and then added the main Kraft foreground panel also adhering it with Foam Pads.  I distressed the Kraft card stock with green distress ink and a Mini Blending Tool.

                                  

The Impression Obsession Fir Trees were cut from dark gray-green card stock and grouped to create the background.  The ones in the foreground were adhered with foam pads for dimension.  The smaller Impression Obsession Evergreen Trees are darker green.

The Poppystamps Fireplace Logs and Poppystamps Warm and Cozy Fire die cuts were colored with distress ink.  The fire is popped higher with foam pads too.  I added a little gold paint to the edges of the fire for visual dimension and shine.  Last I adhered a tent die cut from my stash with Joy Foam Pads.

Classy Cards Construction Time

Hi, I'm posting today with a card I made for the Classy Cards Be Inspired Challenge. The inspiration photo was so sweet.  All those little cars on the quilt reminded me of these adorable Memory Box vehicle dies.

First I stamped a white A2 card using distress ink and an Impression Obsession Cover a Card stamp from my stash.  These Impression Obsession CAC stamps are huge and will cover an entire card front.  The hill was cut out of Kraft card stock using a Spellbinders Border die.  The clouds are from a die in my stash similar to the Memory Box Puffy Clouds die.

The Excavotor and Dump Truck dies are both from Memory Box.  I cut them once in yellow and then again with black card stock.  The vehicles were popped up using Joy Foam Pads.  I cut two fence dies, joined them and then cut the bottom so the fence wouldn't hide the dump truck.

I cut the Impression Obsession grass four times layering them behind and in front of the fence.  The bottom of the front grass was trimmed so the one behind would show better.  I also popped up the grass with Joy Foam Pads for dimension.

Kraftin Kimmie Super Boy

Hi, I'm sharing a card today that I made for my son's friend's birthday and joining in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Krafty Friends Blog Hop.

This little guy is my five year old's favorite stamp.  He's from the Kraftin' Kimmie You're Fang-tastic stamp set.  I like using this stamp for boy birthday cards and the little wizard in the set would be fun for Harry Potter themed cards.  This stamp set has come in useful for more than just Halloween.

I colored him with Copics and used a Spellbinders die to create the frame which was popped up with foam adhesive.  This was a simple CAS card (not my usual cluttered style)but I needed to make something quick and my son asked that I not put flowers on the card.  :)

Thanks for looking!

Impression Obsession Dies - Alphabet Plain UC

My oldest son was born on Father's Day just a few hours after my husband's birthday.  Father's day and my husband's birthday are often one and the same so this card may end up being a combined card.  My husband loves to BBQ which works out nicely because I love to eat what he makes.  :)

This was a fun to design.  I cut a piece of cardstock and then scored it to get the fancy fold.  I wanted to use my Studio G stamps (which I'd bought a long time ago with the intention of making my husband a card) and my Memory Box Grill Masters die but I wasn't sure after folding this card how it was all going to come together.  The patterned paper is from a kitchen themed mat stack I found at Joann's. 

The Dad banner was cut freehand.  The letters are from a great little alphabet set from Impression Obsession.  They are a perfect size for card making.  I wanted the flag to look like an award.  You can only see the word "Best" when the card is open.

The white edge is the "extra" from a Cheery Lynn lollipop die.  It's such a great flower die and I've been using it over and over but I thought the remnants looked interesting too.  Most of my border dies were too feminine for this.  I liked how it added texture and dimension. 

Thanks for looking and Happy early Father's Day to all those Dad's out there!

House Mouse Fore You

I haven't used this stamp in a while and my Father-in-Law's birthday is coming up.  He's a big golfer (and a Mickey Mouse fan) so this card will be for him. 

The Fore You stamp is a studio G stamp that was "missing" an E so I added one.  The golf die is from quickutz.  The argyle paper was from a kitchen themed pack from Joann's.  The card is A6 size and I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the tan background layer.  The main square layer was cut with a Spellbinders classic square die after I played around with a Spellbinders Creatopia shape I decided wasn't right for the image (hence the rounded cut-outs on the top and bottom of the image). 

The purple background isn't a card layer, it's just what I photographed the white card on.  I love Marianne dies - all the HM entries look amazing but I'm crossing my fingers!  :)  Thanks for looking!
