Cheery Lynn Time to Celebrate


Hi, today I'm back with a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs!  I've seen some beautiful blue flowers on cards lately so I decided to try my own.

The blue flowers were cut from the Cheery Lynn Gardenia Strip die with white card stock. They started out a little too green-blue and by the end became more purple-blue as I added glimmer mists. After drying they were shaped using paper molding tools, stacked and then glued.  The background was created by offsetting patterned papers and the Shoji Mesh Border die.


The chrysanthemums were colored with pink distress ink, shaped with a molding tool so they cupped inward and then pearl centers were added.  Distress ink was sponged onto the center of the smallest Horizon Fishtail Banner before gluing the Celebrate sentiment.  The sides of the banner were glued down and the center was popped up with multiple layers of foam adhesive so it would arch.


To finish I tucked green leaves from the Flourish Leaf Strip die and swirls cut from a purple patterned paper with the Tiny Fanciful Flourish die into the flowers.  The leaves and swirls were cut twice to make the arrangement really full.

Cheery Lynn Thanks

This card was inspired by a CAS style card with three fishtail banners I saw on Pinterest.  It had no flowers, doilies, etc but I loved what it did have:  banners and pretty paper.   I grabbed a Bo Bunny paper pad out of my stash, threw in some dies, whipped up some paper flowers, and this is the result.


I'm always amazed how well Cheery Lynn's detailed dies cut so beautifully without adding a layer of wax paper or shims I sometimes have to add to other intricate dies.  They always cut card stock perfectly in my Big Shot.

The Classy Cards 'n Such store still has some great Cheery Lynn dies available at 50% off with coupon code CLD!  Here's a close-up of the Gardenias on the center of the Nautical Wheeler Doily:

Cheery Lynn Seasons Greetings

Hello!  I made this card for my daughter's teacher.  This Cheery Lynn Italian Flourish doily was left over from another project.  I pulled out some designer paper, made flowers with the Cheery Lynn Gardenia Small die, added the Cheery Lynn Holly Flourish and voila!  This card came together in a snap.


I love how the Cheery Lynn Gardenia die strip cuts enough for a whole flower in one pass through my big shot.  Here's a closeup.  I added stickles to the edges for sparkle.


Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays!
