July Sketch at My Creative Sketches!

Hello!  Come play along with the July Sketch at My Creative Sketches!

 

I created my layout using the June Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Scrapbook featuring Websters Pages, and some of my dies from Cheery Lynn Designs!

 I replaced the blocks with doily die cut and shapes hand cut from the printed paper.

 I just adore the Prima burlap butterflies that came in the kit!  I added bling to the chipboard for a little extra pizazz.

Hugs

Hello! Today I have a card featuring the new Build a Flower dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started by cutting the base from Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique. Adding a little texture, I used my favorite Diamonds & Starburst Embossing Plate. The Polynesian Sails Oval doily is the perfect delicate base for my image. Above the image hovers a dragonfly from the new Tiny Things with Wings….such cute little critters in this set!

 The larger flower was created using the new Build a Flower #3 set. The flower center, as well as the smaller burgundy flowers were cut from Build a Flower Embellishment #3. Daisies being my favorite flower, you are sure to see more from the Daisy Strip in the future! Foliage from Pair of Ferns, Wreath Strip, Rose Leaf Strip, and Small Leaves #2. Tucked in the flowers is the new Hugs sentiment atop Sentiment Frame #1.

The Little Things

Hello! Jodi here with a 12x12 layout inspired by this weeks challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs, 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.

  Foliage and leaf dies used:

  Mini Fanciful Flourish

Fanciful Flourish

 Small Leaves #1

 Small Leaves #2

Flourish Leaf Strip

Rose Leaf Strip

Wreath Strip

Fall Foliage

Hello! Jodi here sharing a 12x12 layout for Cheery Lynn Designs featuring an assortment of  leaves in fall colors!

  I’ve used the Bunny and Chick border to dress up my background layer. I split the Polynesian Sails Oval in half, layering each half on top and bottom of my photos adding a bit of elegance and texture to the layout.

 I cut two layers of Sunflower for each flower, staggering the layers as I adhered them. The flower centers were attached with foam adhesive to add dimension. Rose Leaf Strip was cut in green for flower leaves.

 Fall leaves were cut from Small Leaves #1, Small Leaves #2, Large Leaves #2. Other foliage filling in are Mini Fanciful Flourish, Fanciful Flourish, Pair of Ferns, Olive Branches, Wreath Strip, and Flourish Leaf Strip. The title was cut using the elegant Delicate Lace Script.

October Sketch

 

I had some fun by stepping outside my comfort zone and played with my Glimmer Mists and some Resist Canvas shapes from Prima. I added a few different colors to the banner. I really like how it turned out!

 

Here is another of the canvas pieces using three different colors, blending them in a little closer. This is actually a corner piece that I tucked behind the fussy cut clocks for a bit of depth and texture. To the right, you can see the chipboard frame from Leaky Shed. I painted it with Ranger Distress Paint, added some Ranger Distress Inks around the edges, and finished it off with some Kaiser Craft Pearls.

 

I layered fussy cut flowers, and the chipboard frame with foam adhesive for dimension.

You make life Beautiful

Hello! I have a fun 12x12 layout I created for Cheery Lynn Designs to share with you today! Doesn’t my niece have the most precious smile!

(sorry, blogger is cutting off the edge of my photo??)

To create my layout, I started on the inside with the largest of the Lace Square Heart Reflections Die, layered with a Mini Pearly Square Reflections Die. Around the heart square, I added the Francesca border. Underneath, I cut four pieces of the French Lattice Small Frame to fill in my background. Complementing the lattice is the Queen Anne’s Lace border. Finishing off the corners is Lace Corner Deco F. Tucked under the photo is the French Pastry doily. The Lace Script font has the perfect elegance to compliment the layout.

To create the large white flower, I cut Flower Stacker #5 from 8 layers of coffee filters, finishing the center with Build a Flower #1. I’ve added some fun embellishments using the Celtic Heart and Colonial Lamp Post dies. Other flowers and foliage include the Miniature, Medium, and Large Roses, as well as the Princess Tree, Stacker Flower #1 Leaf, and Small Leaves #2.

Winter Wonderland

Hello!  I'm here with a winter layout for Cheery Lynn Designs.

Using the January sketch from  My Creative Sketches, I began my design by placing the Mega Tea Party Doily on the center of my background. I started layering pattern papers, some cut work, and the Large Sunflower Doily…those dainty details really add a lot!

I added the new Francesca border to the bottom of the photo. The details of this border are so exquisite and definitely a new favorite! ( AND it's also on sale!)  After attaching all the layers, I strategically tucked in some Pine Branches. I finished off the layout by adding a couple Snowflakes #2. For a little fun texture and dimension, I added a Miniature Rose to the center of the upper snowflake, and Cuties #2 to the lower snowflake.

Oh so Lacy!

Hello! With Valentines around the corner, I thought I would work on a romantic layout. Todays layout features borders and flowers from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started by dressing up the layout with piecing the Anastasia Border around the background paper. I layered the Lace Light Deco Border atop the Tiffany Border. I like to slightly roll the bottom of the borders to give a bit of texture, and make them look more like real lace. After adding some fussy cutting, I tucked the English Tea Party Doily in a couple places. 

 

 

I cut the Sweet Williams flower from denim scraps.

 

 

 

 

After cutting the petals of the Large Rose, Miniatuare Rose, Frangipani with Leaves, and Stacker flower #5, I spritzed each set of petal with Glimmer Mist then scrunched each petal between my fingers and set them aside to dry. Once dry, I assembled the flowers. Distressing the petals gives the flowers a completely different look.

 

 

 

 

Before assembling the Stacker Flower #5, I staggered the flower and shortened some of the petals but cutting the die piece with the Scalloped Window Stackers.

 

 

I also added Cuties #1 to the bouquet. Once all flower were dispersed, I tucked in pieces of the Fanciful Flourish, Olive Branches, along with leaves from Stacker Flowers #1 and Dimensional Small Leaves #2. To complete the romantic feel of the layout, I added the Small Lace Butterfly…isn’t this die so delicate and beautiful?!

Happy New Year!!

Hello! Today I have another card for Cheery Lynn Designs featuring the Classic Coved Rectangle, Silver Stacker Coved Rectangle and the Polynesian Sails Oval.

I cut the Oval doily in half and positioned it just around the top and bottom of the Coved Rectangle diecut. The large flower is two layers of Cuties #2. By embossing and scrunching 3 layers of the Miniature Rose, I created the little flower buds. The foliage consists of Olive Branches and leaves from Small Leaves #2. The gorgeous mini doily under the flowers comes from the center of the Polynesian Sails Doily die. Two beautiful dies for the money!  A definate bargin!!
