Cheery Lynn Birthday Wishes

 Hi, I'm posting today with a card inspired by blue flowers I saw on Pinterest.  I love looking around on all the boards.  If you missed any of Cheery Lynn's blog posts and want to see more inspiration you can follow them on Pinterest.  

 I started this card by creating the blue flower, choosing a background paper that coordinated with the colors.  Then I filled in the leaves from the Floral Bouquet Kit die, added the Birthday Wishes Circle on top of a circle from the M4 set and last added a small butterfly.  It was really a quick card to make, the longest part was probably accordion folding the leaves on the flower.  I hope you like the result.

To finish things off I glued a gem in the center of the Stacker Flower #5 and more on the butterfly and embellished the leaves with glitter glue and the petals with glossy accents.

Cheery Lynn Dream Big

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 June Release Blog Hop - Whimsical Collection!

Hi friends!  Welcome to the Cheery Lynn Designs June Blog Hop featuring the new Whimsical Delights release! 

I am so excited to show you a few of the fabulously fun new dies.  Check out my teammates blogs along the hop so you can see all the new dies 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 leave a comment there for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate. 

These new Whimsical Flowers are so fun to play with.  I think they lend themselves to a Clean and Simple style so I didn't color with ink (my usual) and instead used colored paper for a cleaner look.  I cut the flowers once in green and then in different pinks.  I also glued pink card stock behind the Whimsical Hippo to get the pink accents.  The For Someone Special die was cut twice to get the shadow effect so the pink stands out more.

The card is triple layered.  I cut a circle in a white 5.5" card using one of the dies from the Circle Stitch & Cut Tool die set.  I then used the same die and the next larger die in the set to cut the stitched ring with black card stock.  I adhered the white card stock with foam tape to blue card stock to get the look of sky behind, and then matted the blue onto a black 6" card.

Hi!  I am enjoying the newly released background dies and I'm sharing another way they can be used.  For this card I cut a piece of stencil plastic with the Chevron die.  Then I used the stencil with a white crackle paste to create the subtle background.  I sprinkled silver and gold chunky glitter and mica powders on the paste while it was wet.  

Imagine was cut out of gold paper. The white layer was matted onto silver and then a light blue A2 card.  The Sakura flower was colored with distress ink and Copic markers, I used glitter glue and a clear gloss to embellish the flowers.  Last, I added a gem to the center of the large flower.  The flower was adhered to the paper with double sided foam adhesive.

Dies R Us You're the Best

Hello friends!  I'm sharing a card that's up on the Dies R Us Challenge Blog, which means it's time for a brand new challenge beginning today!  Come and join the fun for a chance to win a gift card to the Dies R Us store (and who doesn't love free dies?).  

I used all Cheery Lynn Designs dies for this card.  I find that they are easy to pair, cut beautifully (even intricate designs) and I LOVE the gorgeous details in so many of the dies.  Check out the lines in the nest and bird wing above.

I colored everything with distress inks, used black paint for the bird's eye and feet and added little droplets of clear glaze on the eggs and fern leaves.  Thanks for looking and make sure to join in the current Birds challenge for a chance to win.  The main Dies R Us Blog and the Challenge Blog have so many gorgeous samples made by my DT teammates.

Cheery Lynn Thinking of You

Today I'm sharing a card I made using new May Release dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I used two of the dies from the Royal Scandinavian A2 Card Facer set to cut the design into the card front.  The card face is backed with a light blue patterned paper from Prima.   I cut the Thinking of You Sentiment Square and glued a blue Pierced Square behind it.  The sentiment was covered in glitter glue for sparkle.

The flowers were made using the Cherry Blossom Branch die.  I cut it twice to double layer the flowers.  The one on the left is the complete flower and the one on the right is just a piece of a flower, the card seemed to require a little more yellow for visual balance.  They were colored with distress ink and I crinkled the edges by pinching them with my fingers and pulled the stamens up toward the center.

Cheery Lynn You're The Best!

Hello and welcome to my blog!  I'm sharing some quick cards using the new Cheery Lynn May Release dies.  Thank you so much for leaving all the lovely comments on my blog during the hop last week.  I also enjoyed reading the comments on the Cheery Lynn Blog about everyone's favorite die.  I thought I'd share some of my new favorites with you, the Chevron A2 Frame and the new sentiments dies.

This card was made using only three dies and it's so easy to replicate in different ways.  I cut the chevron background die in white and mounted it to an A2 top fold card.  I then colored another piece of card stock with red and pink inks and cut that with the chevron die.  I then glued the colored strips into the negative areas and added glitter to the white areas.  Below are some other examples of cards I've made recently using the same dies. These were made for my son's teacher and teacher aides.  You can use the chevron with the negative pieces out or in.  The card on the right uses pieces from the middle and left cards to create the color pattern.

My eight year old daughter and I made these Birthday cards for friends.  She made the butterfly card. I helped add the glitter glue (I'm a little possessive with my toys) to the wings but she did the rest on her own.  You can see I used the card on the left is the Chevron background that matches the pink strips I used on the first example card at the top of this post.
