Cheery Lynn Designs Vintage Holiday

For my Cheery Lynn Designs post today I have a cute vintage holiday card, at least my version of vintage, lol.  I started with a burgundy French Flair Stacker card base, 5 5/8 inches square. I die cut the largest die from the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker set from cream DP and layered that onto the card base.  Then using the next to the largest Silver French Flair Stacker, I added another layer of DP.  You can see how well these dies match up to give you perfect layers.  The same thing for my fancy oval; a burgundy panel cut from the mid size Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker with a coordinating DP panel cut from the Silver Oval Stackers.  I added a straight piece of Horizon Square Boutique Stacker for Tilda to perch. 

Using cream mulberry paper from a Touch of Grace, I die cut my Poinsettia Strip die, layering two large, one medium and one small petal.  I pinched each petal down the middle and fluffed a bit for some dimension.  Next using burgundy mulberry paper , I created two roses from my Miniature Rose die.  I dry embossed the backs to give them a rounded shape, then layered and shaped them.  I added three Holly Leaves and pieces from my Holly Lace Flourish.

Cheery Lynn Designs Summer Daisies

Here is a bright and happy card to hopefully bring warmer weather our way.  The Cheery Lynn Designs challenge this week is Flowers and I have used my Daisy Strip die to make some colorful flowers for my card.  I love this die as you get 6 flowers with one pass through your die cut machine.  Just shape them a bit with an embossing tool as I did, stack them and you are good to go.  As a backdrop for my image, I layered the largest of the Sentiment Tag 2 dies onto the largest of the Sentiment Tag 1 dies.  Then I layered those onto my Polynesian Sails Oval which I backed with the matching angel wing.  I added a bit of faux stitching around the edge of the Sentiment Tag 1. 

Click on the pic above for a closer look at the flowers.  Even though they are stacked four high, they keep a pretty low profile, perfect for mailing.  Finished size is 5.75" square.

Cheery Lynn Designs Step Card

I have created a cute Christmas Step Card for Cheery Lynn Designs.  I love how quick you can make one of these with the use of Cheery Lynn Designs Step Card die.  I mean, it not only cuts and scores the card base, you can also cut out the perfect panels for both inside and out!  To embellish my card, I used my Alison's Ribbons set, so many combinations to make perfectly matching paper ribbon.  Behind my image I added a Rum Punch Doily.  Using my Circle Stackers, I cut the center out of the doily, added some texture with my Circle Stitcher Plate and then put the circle back into the doily.  I used dimensionals to raise the image above the doily.

Finished size is 5 5/8" square, perfect for a 6" square envelope.  You can see the lovely DP panel I die cut for the inside of my card.

Tilda with Daisy Shaped Card

The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs is to make a Shaped Card, anything but square or rectangle.  I chose to use my Scalloped Circle Large Stackers for the card base and the coordinating Silver Circle Stackers for the DP panels.  I added a Spring Flower Burst Doily as a backdrop for my Tilda with Daisy.  I stamped her onto Cryogen paper with my Memento ink.
Copics used:
Tilda - E000, E00, E11
Hair - E21, E23, E25
Dress, bow and socks - V00, V12
Shoes - E41
Daisy - YR21, Y18, G40
I used my Darling Daisies to embellish the lovely doily, using only the two smallest petals on the die.

For the inside of the card, I die cut another scalloped circle and matching silver circle for adding a sentiment or personal greeting.  I again embellished with Darling Daisies but this time, I used all three of the petals on the die.  Finished size is 5 5/8" and will fit perfectly into a 6" envelope.

Non-Traditional Christmas Colors

The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs is Non-Traditional Christmas colors.  I have this great paper from Magnolia in purples and grays.  So I created a diagonal easel card using my French Flair Scalloped Lg stacker dies for the base and my Silver French Flair stacker dies for the matching DP panels.  Still in the mood to layer doilies, I started off with my Sophia's Heart Doily in purple; then die cut my French Pastry Doily in purple adding a light grey Angel Wing backer.  I used dimensionals between the angel wing and Sophia's Heart.  Next came this beautiful Geometric Snowflake which I also popped up. 

I had intended on adding this adorable Tilda from Magnolia's Sweet Christmas Dreams collection to the front of my card but I could not bear to cover up the snowflake.  So I added a bunch of pearl accents to the snowflake and added Tilda on the inside of the card.  Behind her I added a Mini Flourish One, I thought it mimicked the pattern in the paper quite well.  For my sentiment panel I used my Oval Scalloped Lg stackers and the matching Silver Oval stackers.  Finished size is 6" square.

Kangaroo Tilda

When I saw this new Kangaroo Tilda from Magnolia Rubber Stamps, I knew she would pair up perfectly with Cheery Lynn Designs Aussie Kangaroo Doily die.  I cut the doily then backed it with a circle die cut using my Circle XL Stackers.  I die cut the doily again out of Cryogen white paper, colored the Kangaroo dropouts with my Copics and then added them back into my dark brown doily.

I used my Card Makers Rectangle Scalloped dies to make the panel on the front as well as the panel on the inside.  Don't the drop out Kangaroos from the doily look great across the border on the inside?  I added a corner embellishment using  my Lace Corner Deco J die and some flowers created with the Build a Flower Embellishment #2 set.  Finished size is 5.5" square.

Cheery Lynn Designs Borders and Edgers challenge

The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog is Borders and Edgers.  I have created an oval card using my Scalloped Oval Lg Stackers for the card base and the matching Silver Oval Stacker for the background panel.  Next I added a Tiffany Border across the center then put a Polynesian Sails Oval on top of that.  This gave my Magnolia Rubber Stamps Tilda a place to sit.  The last step was to create some flowers using my Cherry Blossom die.  This card will slide right into a 5 x 7 inch envelope.

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 22 - Make a Basket

 

The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge blog is to Make a Basket.  So I got out my Coved Rectangle Stackers and matching Silver Coved Rectangle Stackers and created a basket base.  I die cut a French Lattice Small frame to which I added a Mega Fanciful Flourish.  I die cut some Miniature Rose and Medium Rose which I dry embossed for some dimension.  What a perfect perch for this little Bunny Tilda from Magnolia.

The last step was to add the handle created with my Country Girl Border.  I trimmed a piece of the green dotted paper and wove it through the border to look like ribbon.  Be sure to visit the Challenge blog for more inspiration from my team members and please join us for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Monthly Stamping Class

I got together with my stamping ladies yesterday and these are the cards that we made.............

For the first card, we used Cheery Lynn Designs Lattice 2 die, Fanciful Flourish and Miniature Rose.  The oval was created by stacking an Oval Nesting die on top of a Scalloped Oval Nesting die and running them through my die cut machine.  It gives you an oval fallout for a sentiment on the inside and the cool scalloped frame for the card front.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

Image by Whimsy Stamps, finished size 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

Another Whimsy Stamps image.  This is called a Dutch Double card.  The top flap flips up, the bottom ones open like doors.

You can view a tutorial for this card on Split Coast Stampers.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

And the last card features Magnolia's Tilda with Hellebores along with Cheery Lynn Designs Canadian Kaleidoscope Doily, matching Angel Wing and  Heart Chain border.  This is a tent fold card and will fit in a 5 x 7 envelope.  A fun time was had by all, lol.

Valentines with Tilda and Cheery Lynn

Here is a cute card I made with Tilda with Christmas Baked from the Sweet Christmas Dreams collection.  The baked cookies are hearts so she is perfect for a Valentines card.  I stamped Tilda with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Cryogen paper.
Copics used:

Hair - YR21, YR23
Dress, Bow and Socks - RV21, RV23
Hearts - R46
Basket - E23
Cloth - RV21
Boots - E42, E43

I used my Cheery Lynn Designs Scandinavian Hearts frame to showcase Tilda.   To create the white background panel, I embossed my card stock with Cheery Lynn's Hearts and Rose Leaves XL embossing plate.  I created the roses using the Miniature Rose, Medium Rose and Large Rose dies.  I added a couple of Olive Branches to finish it off.

For the inside of the card, I used my Cheery Lynn Lace Edger.  Notice it is the same pattern as the frame, but this is an edger.  It does not cut a border piece, rather just adds the decorative cut along the edge of your card stock.  Finished size is 6" square.

Magnolia-licious Highlights - Valentines

Koala HugTilda

When I saw this adorable limited edition Koala Hug Tilda from Magnolia stamps, I knew she would pair up perfectly with my Cheery Lynn Designs Aussie Kangaroo Doily.  How cute are they together?  When I die cut the doily I got these adorable little kangaroo drop outs which I used to make the border across the bottom.  I die cut the doily twice, once out of Kraft paper and once out of the DP.  Then mounted them on top of each other to make the doily a little more substantial and then inserted the Kraft kangaroos back into the doily. I stamped Tilda with Memento Tuxedo black onto Cryogen paper. 
Copics used:
Tilda - E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair - E23, E25, E27
Dress and Hatband - YG91, YG93 (after I colored her and then searched for paper, I realized the greens I chose were too gray so I added Y04 on top to give them more of a yellow cast)
Hat and Boots - E41, E42, E43
Koala - W00, W1, W3

To finish the inside of the card, I added the newly released Francesca border and the last two drop out kangaroos.  The DP is from the Basic Grey Green at Heart 6x6 pad.  Finished size is 6" square.

Cheery Lynn Designs November Release

Cheery Lynn Designs is releasing some fabulous new dies today and the design team has created some amazing projects for you over on the team blog. I have several projects for you today.

 For this card I used the new Celtic Oval Frame for Tilda to perch on.  The flourishes around the flowers come in the center of the Celtic Oval Frame.  I added a border using my Tiffany Border die.

To make the beautiful flowers I used the new Miniature Rose die, I love this die, it cuts 6 flowers and a base.  I added the smallest Cherry Blossom under my roses.

I used the Celtic Oval Frame on the inside of the card for the sentiment as well.  The DP is from Authentique.  Finished size is 6" square.

For my next project, I used my Heart to Heart Doily dies to make a basket.  I added some flowers created with the oh so fun Stacker Flowers. 

And then I added the new Hearts D'Vine border die along the basket sides and the new Tangled Hearts border die on the handle.

For this card I used the new Garden of Love die; I paper pieced the word Love, then added some color in the flowers and heart with my Copic markers.  The flower is a combination of Sweet Williams, Cherry Blossom and the new Miniature Rose.  The background is embossed with the Hearts and Rose Leaves XL Embossing plate.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches. 

Yesterday I posted a card on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog for this week's Autumn Challenge.  The card was created with my Scallop French Flair XL Stacker die for the card base, followed by it's matching Silver Stacker.

I made all of the flowers on this card using text weight Stardreams metallic paper and the three new Cuties dies from Cheery Lynn.  I die cut each Cutie twice, gluing them together along the bottom, staggering the petals.  Then I wound them up using my Quilling tool; glued down the end and then folded down the petals.  I added some Olive Branches to complete the card.  The adorable kitty is from Mo's Digital Pencil.  Finished size is 6" square.

Magnolia Tilda Curtsy Princess

Are you tired of Magnolia stamps yet?  Here is another card sample I made for my local store, Sweet Stamps.  It started out as a boy card with Edwin but evolved into a diagonal easel Tilda card, lol

Again, everything you see here on the card can be purchased locally at Sweet Stamps.  I used my Cheery Lynn Designs Kiwi Oval Frame to frame this adorable image.  I stamped Tilda with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Cryogen paper, coloring her with Copic markers.  The background paper is from Magnolia but I created the white flowered paper using  my Sweet Stamps Posy Design large stamp.  For the flowers I used the new Cheery Lynn Designs Cheery Blossoms die adding a beautiful crystal brad to the center. 

For the inside, I die cut a panel for the Sweet Stamps Beautiful Day sentiment, using my Cheery Lynn Designs XL Scalloped Oval Stackers with the coordinating Silver Oval Stackers.  I added some gem embellishments from Zva Creative as well as pearls for the corners.  Finished size is 5.5 inches square.

Magnolia Edwin Fishing and Cheery Lynn Designs

For my Cheery Lynn Designs project today, I thought I would see what I could do with Magnolia's Edwin Fishing, available locally at Sweet Stamps.

I started with the outer frame from the Emperor's Swan die.  I hand cut a piece of glossy card stock to fit behind the frame; then using a stipple brush and dye inks, I created the clouds in the sky and the water.  I added a piece of wood textured paper for Edwin to sit on, colored him with Copic markers and then cut him out.  I added pieces from the Tropical Flourish die to the bottom of the frame.  The sentiment is from Sweet Stamps; I used my Oval Little Stackers dies to cut the panels.  Cute huh?  The background paper is from Magnolia stamps.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

Magnolia Edwin Mummy

Here is another card sample I made for the Sweet Stamps store.  This one uses Magnolia's Edwin Mummy.

This is a great stamp as the coloring is so simple.  Since the Magnolia DP I was using as a background is gray and silver, I chose to shade the image with Cool Gray Copic markers.  The only other color used was E00 for his face and hands.  I used a Nellie's Rectangle Multi Frame die for the black frame behind Edwin.  The border is Cheery Lynn Designs Border Carnivale die.  I added some pearl accents from Zva Creative and some gorgeous roses as well as some Viva Decor Pearl pen accents.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Finished size is 6" square.
