Snappy Birthday! with Lisa Blastick

Hello! Welcome back to another fun card using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts! I felt like making a birthday card since today is my birthday. I also thought about making this card for a friend that I know that happens to have his birthday today too. Only problem is he is 20 years younger....

I used an oval for my water, cat tails, reeds, wood, and clouds. Plus the fabulous crocodiles with tiny pearls on their back, nose and eye. Little white dots were dabbed on the cat tail. There is a bit of gloss on the raindrops. I wasn't thinking sad birthday but I wanted to add some extra blue on the card. There is grass on the inside.

The sentiment was printed on my computer.

Cheery Lynn Designs Used:

B795 Crocodiles

B797 Whimsical Sun and Clouds

B389 Cat tails and Reeds

B649 Fishing Boat Set

B593 Grass 2

B320 Clouds and Rain

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Shower with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, Welcome back for another new card for Cheery Lynn Designs. I originally was thinking about April showers and then I started to think about all the baby showers that are this month. So I combined the two into one card. I wanted to make it baby blues but with some girly accents.

I colored the rain drops and then added a glitter pen for extra shine. I also did that on the flourishes too. In the centers of the flowers is teal gala glitz. Be sure to get this adorable umbrella for your collection because it is on clearance.

Dream Big with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today sharing a nautical card. I hope you had an opportunity to join in our June New Release Blog Hop. I had so much fun creating with the new dies and thank you for all the 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 Sail 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.

Dream with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today, I wanted to make a beach card for Cheery Lynn Designs. I recently was in Mexico on the beach and I truly love the sound of the waves. So, I'm dreaming that I want be back on the beach today. I used "wave edger", "sand dollar and starfish", and "seahorse" with some "clouds" dies. I stamped some seagulls to give a more beach feeling with the sentiment Dream. It is my serenity.

The beautiful "alpine flourish doily" is so whimsical. It seemed perfect for my Dream!

There are pop dots under several dies to finished this 4 x 5 inch card.

Strong Anchor With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello everyone!

It's Lisa here today sharing another shaker card for Cheery Lynn Designs!

I really Love shaker cards and even though it takes a few extra steps...I find they are fun to make and recipients love them too!

I have been in a nautical mode for most of the summer...still thinking about the beach! This week's challenge is "In Stitches". I don't know how to sew with a sewing machine but I can make faux stitches. I used a black archival marker and with a template made black stitches all the way around the edges, on the shaker piece and on the waves of sand . For the shaker card I used the two largest A2 Frames Rectangle. Then cut it again with white foam. I used the largest rectangle in light blue and again with acetate to create the window for the beads.

I cut out the two Lighthouses in medium blue, one set of the Clouds and one set of the Birds from Bird Bath. I added a little light blue distressing ink to the birds. I diecut Ships Anchor in light blue and colored the chain with a black copic. I placed light blue and clear beads in the center of the shaker and placed the anchor on the top bottom corner. The stamp is on the outside acetate using staz-on black ink.

Here you can see all the little beads throughout!

Cheery Lynn Diecuts Used:

B320 Clouds and Rain (Set of 2)

B438 Birth Bath (Set of 2)

If Daughters Were Flowers With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi everyone!

It's Lisa back this Wednesday sharing a step card made for Cheery Lynn Designs.

I was thinking about the challenge this week "anything goes" and I all of the sudden became overwhelmed with so many ideas! Finally, I thought about the Victorian Picket Fence and Garden Gate. I could see it on the front of a step card, but what colors? I was digging and found this fun bright pink papers and it really worked for the look I was hoping to achieve. As I was finishing the card, I wanted to offset the yellow flowers on the other side, so I used Bird Bath and all the tiny birds to go with it. Love the tiny birds. On the bottom, I used the Grass Border in lime green.

The Mirror Mirror Doily Frame has been on my wish list for a long time. I was so excited to bring it out for this fun spring/summer card. The Clouds and Rain are one of those diecuts that is a must have in your stash...Ive been using it quite a bit. :) The Daisy Flowers and Flourish Leaves were easy to put together and you will find it easy too. I added little white pearls in the centers of the flowers for a finished flower. PS...I'm addicted to pearls too... :)

The sentiment was printed out on my computer and I used the inside diecut of the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame and inked the edges in pink. Here you can see the really amazing details of all the beautiful diecuts. Gosh, I always remind myself on how lucky I am to be part of this amazing team!

Thanks! By Lisa Blastick

Hello!

It's Lisa here today sharing with you my first project for Cheery Lynn Designs as a new DT! I was so excited to be one of the lucky three chosen. Thanks so much! This week I wanted to go with the challenge theme of Back to Nature. When I think of nature, I think of greens and browns. However, I wanted to add a splash of color so I used pale yellow. It is the perfect color for the Sunflowers....LOVE them!

A side view of the beautiful Exotic Butterflies & Mini Dimensional Butterflies. The French Lattice in the background was cut to fit inside the Frames Rectangle Scalloped. I used Ivy Corner Flourish on both the bottom right and upper left corners.

Here is a closer view. I also added three Clouds for a springtime nature look.

On all the butterflies I added pearls. I also added a little bow with cord.

I die cut Sentiment Tag 1 with white card stock.

The sentiment is a stamp in vintage photo ink and chalked on the edges.

LOVE the details of the Sunflowers! For a little more 3D foliage look, I added a few Flourish Leaf on top of the Ivy Flourish.

Here you can see the dimension...Not to thick and easy to mail this 5 x 6 card.

I had leftovers from the front of the card, so it made it easy to finish the inside too!

A Vintage Thank You with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog today and share a project with you. Did you see the latest challenge theme is "Thank You"? Let's face it, we can all use several of these on hand, right?

Cheery Lynn Designs has such a fun array of dies and the details are just exquisite! I've been wanting to use this Vintage Bicycle die since I got it! It's so dramatic I wanted it to be the focal point so I selected more muted papers to show it off.

Below the bicycle, I've layered two different Sentiment Frames on top of one another to great a unique look for my sentiment block. Beneath them you'll see a snippet of the Kiwi Spirit Doily cut from white cardstock.

I've used dimensional foam for one of my clouds and the top layer of my sentiment block.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
Vintage Bicycle (Steampunk Series) - B356
Scalloped Coved Rectangles - XM11
Clouds and Rain - B320
Ankara Lace Border - B332
Sentiment Frame #1 - B189
Kiwi Spirit Doily - DL108

We'd love for you to join us in our "Thank You" challenge this week! Don't forget, you could just win a $20 gift certificate for playing along!!!

What's Up with Cheery Lynn Designs

shulsart 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Sandy Hulsart here with you today. Lori noticed a card on my blog and asked if she could use it for today's Cheery Lynn post but I told her I would make another similar one instead. I began with my Old Parchment XL embossing plate and a piece of Cryogen Metallic paper 4 x 5.25 inches. I dry embossed the panel and then used Distress ink along the edges of the paper lightly continuing across the middle. I thought the embossing looked a lot like a cloudy sky. Next I added a piece of the new Winter Neighborhood border across the bottom, also die cut from Cryogen Metallic paper. I added some yellow card stock behind the windows and then lightly colored the grass and trees with a G40 Copic marker.

Next came the Clouds to which I added a bit of Distress ink so you would not lose them on the embossed background. I die cut the new Hot Air Balloon from card stock, then cut the matching angel wing out of Cryogen Metallic and colored it in with my Copic markers. I popped the balloon up for some added dimension. The last step was the sentiment created with Cheery Lynn's Mini Font. Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

Don't forget that Cheery Lynn Designs is running a Design Team Call. You can check out the details here.

Patriotic Summer Scene with Guest Designer Holly

Holly 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi folks! It's Holly posting today, and I'm sad to say this is my last post as a Guest Designer. I have truly enjoyed coming up with these fun and creative cards to share with you this month. Many thanks to BJ, Lori, and Gini for asking me to be a guest designer and for helping me out with my questions. I have had a great time!!

For my card today, I was thinking about the upcoming 4th of July holiday, and I wanted to make a patriotic summer scene card. This Patriotic Swag die fit the bill perfectly. If you haven't checked out this die, it comes as one large connected die. There are three pieces connected by some very thin strips of metal. It's easy to snap them apart into three individual dies. Look at the picture below. You can see I separated the three pieces and then cut each piece with a different color of cardstock.

I used the following dies on my card:

Patriotic Swag
Victorian Picket Fence
Clouds and Rain
Grass Border

I started by sponging some blue and green inks on white cardstock and then I stamped the tree to one side. The clouds were adhered so that some of them were floating past the edges of the scene. The picket fence is actually some kraft cardstock that I distressed to look like a whitewashed fence and then I added the grass border to the bottom. Finally I put the swag together and glued it to the fence, and then I pulled some of the grass out so it would be "blowing" against the swag.

Thanks so much for checking out my artwork this month. It's been a wonderful experience, and I know the next Guest Designer will have a great time. I hope you all have a wonderful week and a Happy and Safe 4th of July! :-)
