She is a Happy Soul Always Tag by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely Cheery Lynn fans.
I hope you are having a wonderful day as we here in Holland are enjoying a day off due to a national holiday. We are planing on making this day as special as can be and we have some nice weather to go with it {almost 30 degrees}
I am so glad that summer is finally kicking in.....for today I would like to share a tag with you using some amazing Prima Marketing papers and dies by Cheery Lynn Designs!

She is a Happy Soul Always:

This was a fun tag to make. I am normally more of a soft color person, but this collection is awesome because I really like grey/black and pink together. First I cut out all the elements that I wanted to use on my tag to later on add them to my work.

For my flower centers I used metal embellishments/brads by two different companies. At the end I sprayed two different colors of my Lindy's sprays and added a flair to my tag which is designed by my friend Valerie.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:
CASO-15 - Nesting Doll Circles #15
DL327 - Mandala Doily 2
B870 - Feathers
B307 - Sweet Williams Strip
SF-3 - Stacker Flower #3
B241 - Rose Leaf Strip

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful day and almost weekend!

In One Yesterday Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello, Corina here with you today to host the blog!

For todays card, I decided to play with my new Mirror Mirror Doily Frame die and the Stacker Flower 5 die. - I used a turquoise pattern paper, white cardstock, a little turquoise ink and of course my Cheery Lynn Dies to create this card.

I layered the background using a die from the A2 Frames Rectangular Classic to die cut a turquoise pattern paper panel and white cardstock panel. I distressed the edges and adhered them on to my white cardstock base. The Mirror Mirror Doily Frame went on next.

I stamped my sentiment with black ink on to the Sentiment Tag 2 (Set of 3) and layered it upon a turquoise die cut from the same set - one size larger. Then pop-dotted to the center of the Mirror Mirror Doily Frame.

To form my floral arrangement, I used the two layers of the Stacker Flower 5 and then the Shasta Daisy on top. Tucked in a mix of foliage die cuts with some flourishes from the center of the Celtic Oval Frame die.

Added Rhinestones to finish it off!

Dies Used:

Shasta Daisy - B310

Stacker Flower 5 - SF-5

Build a Flower #2 - B187

Olive Branches - B147

Sentiment Tag 2 (Set of 3) - B425

Mirror Mirror Doily Frame (Set of 3)

Celtic Oval Frame - DL127

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

I hope you will play along in our weekly Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 179 - Flowers. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Design Store.
Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,

"Sew" Organized!

Joann 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Good morning everyone and welcome to your Cheery Lynn Designs "Thursday" inspiration!

The challenge theme this week is In Stitches (real or faux) so like most everyone else I thought, "Get out my sewing machine to make my stitches".

Well, it's been said that I tend to think a bit "outside the box" so I thought that instead of doing the obvious, how about a sewing basket to hold all your stitching supplies!

I made my own template for the sewing basket and found a SVG file on-line that I used for the scissors.

I wanted to include a pin cushion on the top so I cut a small piece of sponge and wrapped it in the Japanese Lace Pattern Die.

Finally, I wanted to show you what it looks like open - lots of room inside to hold your sewing supplies.

Here's a list of the dies used for this project:

B122 - Ribbon Eyelet Border w/Piercing
B307 - Sweet Williams Strip
DL134 - Dancing Doily Lace Border
DL241 - Ambergris Doily w/ Angel Wing
FRM120 - Japanese Lace Pattern
L-10 - Coved Rectangle Classic - LG Silver Stackers
SF-1 - Leaf
SF-6 - Stacker Flower 6

I hope you can find some time to visit the challenge this week and put in your entry where the theme is In Stitches (real or faux). With your entry you will have a chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs!

Have a Cheery Day!

Where Does Your Inspiration Come From?

Unknown 7:00 AM 5 Comments

Hi, and welcome to the middle of the week! It's Gini, filling in for Alison toady. I think that creative people are always inspired by everything they come into contact with. I know I certainly am. When I looked at the gorgeous flowers on this patterned paper, I wanted to see if I could recreate one with my Cheery Lynn Designs Dies and paper.

I used quite a mix of our flower dies - starting with a base of Stacker Flower 6. I cut petals from BAF2, and glued them to the tips of the base flower. Then I took layers of Stacker Flower 4, and curled the tips in with tweezers. For the center, I used the Cutie Fringe (but cut my fringe off a little shorter).

It's really fun to get creative in your paper gardens, and see what you can come up with combining the dies.

Simple but Elegant

Lori 3:30 AM 4 Comments

This card looks so intricate with all the details of the dies, but honestly it's a rather simple card. Stacking the doily die on top of the frame with some foam tape really makes a statement but it's only two dies. The flowers are so beautiful but they are simply several of the Stacker Flower 4's layer together with the top layer manipulated to curl upwards. I love pearls so I thought between the center of the flowers, the edge of the card and the center piece highlight I had the elegant covered. This detailed card was created using only four dies, how simple is that. Just think everyone will think this card took you hours to do, but it will be our simple little secret.

By The Sea GDT Cheery Lynn Designs

Lisa 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi...Happy Saturday! It's Lisa back again guest designing with a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs using more fabulous diecuts! Since, I had some store credit for designing this month, here are a few of the beautiful dies I received just a few days ago. It is soooo hard to chose a few when I want them all! I have been in this beach mood lately, but I didn't want to use the same old beach theme colors like blues and oranges. So I chose red...after all it is my favorite color and I just love those red beach chairs that you sometimes see at resorts.

I wanted to use a window and I love the beautiful fancy scroll work on top. This die is called "Window A" and the possibilities with this die are limitless. The doily in the background called "French Pastry" is one that I have wanted for a very long time because I use doilies so often for many of my projects and now I can make it in different colors to match perfectly. :)

The flowers are part of the stacker collection and this one is "Stacker Flower #2" I was happily surprised to see the size of them...I was thinking that they would be a bit smaller....I'm so glad they were larger than I thought. :) I cut up the "Fanciful Flourish" in a couple pieces to layer the greenery a bit. I then added some real shells. The stamped images are from Heartfelt Creations it is part of their new collection this month. Last but not least, I added a tiny tag with a sentiment printed from my computer.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and weekend. I will be attending a local scrapbook convention today and hope to buy more new Cheery Lynn Designs Dies....Love them!

Maybe see you there!

Hugs, Lisa

Chalkboard Tag With Cheery Lynn Designs

Unknown 3:30 AM 6 Comments

The chalkboard craze is everywhere - so I thought I would try a tag using this technique. I started off with a black tag, and stamped the background using Hampton Art's stamp Passage to France. I really didn't want to add color to this classic look - so I kept all of my diecuts white. The flower really reminds me of a Cosmo and was made with the Build a Flower 3 and Embellishments 3.

Thanks for stopping by - and I hope that you will play along with the new Cheery Lynn Designs challenge for the week, which is super easy - Anything Goes!

Blowing Bubbles

Unknown 3:30 AM 3 Comments

I love going through old photos, and being reminded of wonderful memories. My dear nephew was just learning to blow bubbles and was mesmerized by them. Hard to believe it's been 5 years since this picture was taken!

I love making Cheery Lynn Designs flowers, and always make them quite dimensional - but somehow for this layout, I decided having the flowers flat, almost as part of the patterned paper was the look that I wanted. So give yourself permission to use your dies any and every way. They are so versatile!

Clean and Simple

shulsart 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Sandy, here with you today. Sometimes it is nice to make a clean and simple card without all the fancy embellishments. That is what I have created today. I love long/tall cards. This one is 4 x 9.25 inches and fits in a business envelope. Using just the center drop out from my Mexican Tile Pattern die, I die cut three white squares which I mounted onto pink, then black card stock. This is what the complete die looks like.....

The outer blue frame cuts as one piece and the inner white square is another. I simply cut my card stock 2.75 inches square, centered it on the die and cut it out. For the center flower, I used my Stacker Flower 4, cutting it three times and then gluing them together so the petals are staggered. I added a bit of curl to the ends of the petals for some dimension.

Be sure to visit the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog for more inspiration and to join in on this week's Celebrate challenge for a chance to win $20 to the store.

Flower Power

Donna 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Today's card for Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration Blog is focusing on the various flowers you can make with the variety of dies Cheery Lynn makes and sells.

I'll give a complete list of the dies used at the end of the post.

I've created a lovely floral arrangement using just a few of the dies available, as well as the Victorian Fence die, a flourish and butterfly and some cute things with wings. I've also used the Lattice Die as a background behind the image and a lovely spider web corner die. Sentiment is computer generated and the image is a Elizabeth Bell rubber stamp. Papers from Bearly Mine Designs Vintage set. Flowers and leaves have been painted with Twinkling H20's

Don't forget we have the challenge this week of "Flowers" and you could be in for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Cheery Lynn Designs store.

Alstroemeria Lily Tutorial with Cheery Lynn Designs

Unknown 3:30 AM 8 Comments

Today, I thought I would show you how to combine old and new dies to create an Alstroemeria Lily. I played around with the proportions of this one, using our different flower dies, and was really pleased with the results. I hope you will give it a try.

Here are the cuts that I used. Notice, in the picture, I used the star from the large rose, but I found it was too small - so for my final sample, I used the Stacker Flower 3. It will be easiest to color your petals and them cut them as needed. The flower will be assembled on a large rose base - with two of the petals removed as shown.

Although my picture above shows the inner petals as one piece - it works better to cut them into individual petals, shape and glue inbetween the base petals.

Finish the center stamens with Flower Soft, pinch together at the bottom and glue to the center of the flower. Shape the petals and arrange them under the flower.

The new CLD Challenge this week is Tickled Pink. We would love to see your creations using Cheery Lynn Designs dies - and each week a project is chosen to win a $20 gift certificate to the store.

The Little Things

Jodi 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hello! Jodi here with a 12x12 layout inspired by this weeks challenge, Autumn colors.

I just love to play with the border dies from Cheery Lynn Designs! They have so many details, and can be implemented on cards and layouts of any style. Here I have layered the Anastasia Border atop the Border Carnivale for a bit of fun, and added the elegant Tiffany Border around the photos.

A fall cluster must have a Sunflower! I love the details cut in to the flower center! I cut two layers of flower, staggering the petals as I adhered them, then added the flower center with foam adhesive for dimension. The burgundy Mums were created by cutting two layers each of the large, medium, and small Darling Daisies. Using the tip of my stylus, I molded the petals forward to mimic the Mum. I them assembled them staggering the petals of each layer as I went.

The main flower in this cluster was cut with the Stacker Flower #5. I used two layers each of the large, medium, and small spiky flower center from Build a FlowerBuild a Flower Embellishment #1. The smaller yellow flowers throughout the layout are found in the Build a Flower Embellishment #2 set.

Jodi 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hello! Jodi here today with a 12x12 layout for you. I finally got a chance to play with some fun dies new to my stash!

I started by cutting the Mega Tea Party Doily in half and placing the halves toward to top and bottom of my layout. I added the Border Carnivale amongst my background layers. To the top right corner you see the Pennant Die dressed up with the Lace Light Deco Border for a bit of added elegance. Lace Corner Deco B dresses up the left corner of the photo. Backing my floral cluster is the Garden Gate.

The large white flower is constructed with the layers of the Stacker Flower #3. I inked the inside of the flowers, and finished the edges with a light dry brushing of gold paint. Build a Flower Embellishment #2 was used to create the flower center, as well as the Baby’s Breath and small pink flowers. The edges of the Miniature Roses were also lightly brushed with the gold paint. Foliage from Build a Flower #2, Flourish Leaf Strip, and Rose Leaf Strip.

Isn’t the Bird Cage beautiful?! So many possibilities! Under the cage are branches, as well as Baby’s Breath and little pink flowers from Build a Flower Embellishment #2. The leaves are from Small Leaves #1 and Small Leaves #2. The Hummingbird flutters gently above the cage. Anastasia Border is tucked under the tear in the background paper.

Design sketch and papers are inspired by a from Quick Quotes.

Halloween Pumpkins - Table Decorations

Sandie 3:30 AM 5 Comments

It is nearly Halloween! We don't celebrate Halloween in Australia, though I do believe it is something that is fast catching on. It would certainly be nice to experience Halloween, and certainly has an interesting story behind the occasion.

So, to get into the 'theme' of Halloween, for Cheery Lynn Designs I have created a decoration of pumpkins, along with a small 'Boo' tag. Cheery Lynn Designs does have a 'Boo' die, but since we don't celebrate here I have not acquired it. I hand wrote my Boo, but you can find the die 'here'.

These pumpkins are so easy to create and can be made in in a variety of sizes, easily, and quickly. AND, would look absolutely fabulous created for a table setting. I used the Circle Classic Silver Series (middle size, for the larger one) and die-cut 8 circles - folding each circle in half, and pressing firmly with a score tool. Hint: It is easier to do the folding by hand rather than use a score board due to them being round - you really do have to be precise so they match up perfectly.

Then...simply start adhering one half to the next half, and repeat till you have all affixed, except last one. Before adhering last half circle together, break a kebab stick with your hands (muscles) to fit inside the length of the circles. Place a strong adhesive into the middle of where all the half circles meet - place stick along edge of adhesive - keeping the torn, tattered end of the kebab stick at the top, and poking out of the soon to be pumpkin. Affix last half circle closed, and hold firmly till adhesive has dried, for best results.

The 'greenery' on the larger pumpkin is created with the Stacker Flower #4, and the smaller, the Stacker Flower #3. I used a crop-o-dile (any small round punch will work) to make the hole in the stacker flower larger to fit over the pumpkin stem, and adhered with a tiny smear of glue.

The tendrils are created using the new release Expandable Quilling Strip. The smallest strips on the die-cut were just wound tightly around the left over piece of kebab skewer. Apply a tiny dot of glue to one end, and neatly tuck under the stacker flower foliage.

The Scare Me die consists of the wicked little tree and cat. The cat reminds me of my cat Ms Malinki! LOL

... and before I sign off for another week, this weeks challenge is 'texture', to enter visit the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog... and don't forget to pop over for a visit and some wonderful inspiration from the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog.
Till next week...

Fresh Fall Morning

Unknown 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Sometimes when I look back through my photo files, there are pictures that I've forgotten about, and it's fun to revisit those memories with a new layout. This is a picture that I cherish of me and my sweet nephew, on a fall outing to Mount Mitchell. It was well into October, but the leaves still had not changed. It was however, still a gorgeous weekend to remember.

I used the lace edger to create a pattern around my large panel. The photo was matted on a panel embossed using the Rock Grunge plate. This is such a nice pattern to add texture without having a competing design. The gardenia was creating using Build a Flower 2 for the bottom petals and Pretty Petals for the top layer. The Asters were made using the Stacker Flower 5, and the large sun for the center, from the Embellishment Two plate.

Since fall is officially here, the new Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge is Halloween. So think of a great way to trick or treat us and play along!

Rock On!

Unknown 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi! It's Gini here and I had the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to attend a concert by Gary Sinese and the Lt. Dan Band. It really made for a great evening and all of the proceeds go to buy medical equipment for wounded Veterens. It was really a touching evening, and just had to share it in a 12 x 12 layout.

I see tons of sketches now with a fish-tailed banner, and instead of just having straight lines, I used the negative side from one of the Lace Corner sets. It added a little extra design element. Look at the purple mat behind the main photo, and you can see I used the Foliage Embossing Plate to create a subtle design.

I love how many tons of flowers you can make by combining all of the Cheery Lynn Designs Build a Flowers (and there are more on the way!)

Can you believe the carnation and the pansy were both made from the Build a Flower 2 Set? Such great versatility! The Daisy was made with the Stacker Flower 2. I used the Embellishment 2 for the Pansy centers.

The Clematis was made with the Build a Flower 1. So many flowers and these won't wilt!

Thanks for stopping by today! If you are ready to get out your Cheery Lynn Designs dies, why don't you play along in our week's challenge of Keeping in Krafty (use Kraft paper). We would love to see what you create!
