Create a Frame

Hello!  I just love the verstility of the dies from Cheery Lynn Designs!  Today's layout features the reflections and border dies combined to create a delicate frame.

Starting from top to bottom, I created the frame for my photo using Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections Boutique Mega Die, Enchanted Forest Stacker Frame, another layer of the Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections, and the beautiful Tiffany Border. The bottom layers were trimmed with the gorgeous Francesca and Queen Anne’s Lace borders.

Here is a close up of the Sweet Williams, flower center created from Build a Flower #1. Floliage from Small Leaves 2 and Flourish Leaf Strip.

I created this flower by cutting three layers of Stacker Flower #3, staggering the petals as I adhered them. Again, using parts from Build a Flower #1 to create the center. To the right of the flower is the Large Rose. Darling Daisies can be seen on the left. The leaves are from Stacker Flower #1 Leaf, Small Leaves 2, and the Princess Tree. Other dies used are the Two of Hearts, Fanciful Flourish, and Exotic Butterfly Mini.

More Flower Fun!

Hello! Have you enjoyed Cheery Lynn Designs new releases this week, as well as all the gorgeous designs by our talented team?  Today I have a card sharing a few more dies that I was given to design with.

The base of my card is created using the Scalloped French Flair Stacker Nesting Die layered with the Classic French Flair Silver Stacker. I added a bit of texture to the card using the Woodgrain Embossing Plate. Using two pieces of Anastasia Border back to back, it looks like I added real lace! The newly released Flourish Band was placed down the center of the lacy strip.

I haven’t worked with velum much the past few years, but after discovering what a beautiful butterfly it made last week, I decided to dabble in the flower word with it. Choosing white vellum, I staggered three layers of Stacker Flower #4 topped with an assortment of pieces from the newly released Build a Flower #1 to created the flower center of the large daisy.

I topped the Two of Hearts with a Medium Rose created with pink velum. I really like the softness the velum flowers add to the project! I added leaves from the new Flourish Leaf Strip and Small Leaves 2.

Under the photo you see the stunning new frame, Fiona’s Magic Window. The next layer is cut from the Mini Pearl Rectangle Mega Reflections Dies, outlined with the beautiful Queen Anne’s Lace border. To the right of the photo is the new Window A. To cut my window, I first cut an oval from my pattern paper using the Scallop Oval Stackers Nesting Die. I wanted a scenic background behind the window. Using the Classic Oval Silver Stacker, I was able to cut the scene to fit perfectly behind the window. Check out the store for a few other newly released windows. This my mom’s baby photo, so I tucked the letters of her name (arlene) into the top of my bouquet using the new Lace Script Lower Case set.

Purple-licious

Hello! Today’s card was inspired by this week's Cheery Lynn Designs challenge, purple. As many of you, I love the color purple but struggle when it comes to using it in a color palette on a layout or card.

I cut the base of my card from dark purple using the largest of the Scalloped Square Stackers set. Cutting my next layer from the Classic Square Silver Stackers, I opted to add some texture using the Daisy Garden Embossing Plate. I love the elegance and size of the Kiwi Doily, perfect for centering on cards! Resting in the center is a Small Exotic Butterfly #2.

Can you believe the flowers and leaves were all cut with white cardstock? In the center of my bouquet is the Large Rose. I brushed each of the petals with LuminArt paints, then embossed each petal before assembling. Nestled on each side of the rose is the Darling Daisies. Each flower consists of 6 layers, two layers of each size petal. I lightly brushed the petals with Shimmerz Paints, then assembled, staggering each layer of petals as I went. Using Ranger Distress inks, I colored leaves from Small Dimensional Leaves #2 and Stacker Flower #1 Leaf and tucked them in around the flowers, finishing off with a couple of Olive Branches.

Floral Fun

Hello! I'm here today with another fun card featuring a couple of our beautiful flower dies from Cheery Lynn Designs!

I just love the way our Stacker Nesting dies all fit together so well, especially with such a variety of sizes in each set! It makes is so easy to add lovely layers to cards, layouts, and other projects.

Stackers used: French Flair-Scallop

French Flair Classic

Square-Scallop

Square Classic

To create the flower, I cut four layers of Stacker Flower #4 from book pages. Staggering the petals as you adhere them, is very important when creating a fuller, more life like flower. The center of the flower is made from two layers of Cuties #1. After attaching, I fluffed the petals of the flowers. Try stacking different flower dies together to see what kind of flower you can create!

Flower foliage consists of : Mini Flourish One

Small Leaves 2

 Pine Branches

With Love

Hello!  I'm back again, stepping outside the comfort zone with my dies from Cheery Lynn Designs…You know how I adore my dies and how inspired I am to see what else I can create!

The bottom layer is created with the largest of the Mini Pearl Rectangle Mega Doily Reflections Die set. I just love how versatile the Reflections dies are! Next is the dainty Queen Anne’s Lace border atop the beautiful Border Carnivale. I hand stitched the heart, and then added the Dainty Dutch Deco Frame to back the photo. Under the photo is a strip outlined by the stunning Lace Light Deco Border. Tucked in on the right is the Mega Tea Party Doily.

I created my flower by cutting one layer of Flower Stacker #5 from cardboard, then dry brushed the edges with Distress Paint. I added the little lace doily from the center of the Dainty Dutch Deco Frame underneath the flower along with some pieces of the Fanciful Flourish and foliage from Olive Branches, Stacker Flower #1 leaf, and Large Leaves #2.

  Using the mini Exotic Butterfly set, I cut three layers of butterfly from velum. (thanks to my good friend Rhonda for the fun tip!) She rests atop a swirl from the Fanciful Flourish, and a piece of Olive Branches. 

Banners have been such a fun trend. The Pennant Die is the perfect size for both layouts and cards! Notice the detail on the Pennant?! So Cute!!  I fussy cut the glitter and birds from pattern paper to adorn the top, and added a Miniature Rose to finish it off!

Miss You

Hello!  I'm  here today with another Cheery Lynn Designs card featuring a mix of textures.

Loving the simple beauty of the white on white cards, I decided to add a bit of elegance by combining a dainty embossed background (Petite Hearts) layered with the classy patterns of the French Lattice Small Frame. I really love the combination of the two textures together. To the right of the card I layered the Two of Hearts, adding just a spritz of Stickles to add to the delicate feel of the card.

To the left I started with the Fanciful Flourish and added a bit of foliage using the Olive Branches and SM Leaves #2. To create the flower, I layered two dies of each size of the Darling Daisies, lightly inking the edges of the petals before adhering the layers together. Notice the leaves. They were cut from white cardstock and lightly inked with Ranger distress inks. I just love the way the ink brings out the details!

I really had fun creating this flower using the Cuties #2 die! The flower is 8 layers of pink tissue paper. I cut four layers at a time….yes, remember when using tissue paper the dies will cut through a few layers at a time! I cut one layer of 4, and then a second layer of 4. Keep each layered strip together. Do NOT separate the layers. Attach the two strips together, staggering the petals. Roll with quilling tool. Glue the ends. Fold down the petals and fluff. Enjoy your beautiful flower!
