Sept 27th Anything Goes

This weeks Cheery Lynn Designs challenge is "Anything Goes". So I choose to create a baby card. I started with a blue base and layered the Your Dream  frame in white. One of the Circle-Classic LG Stackers Nesting Dies  and one of the the Circle - Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies was layered and  placed in the center then stamped with the sentiment "Its a Boy". The other sentiment is also using a stamp and fussy cutting around it. I then place one of the Pierced Banners and layered the Choo Choo  onto it. This is such a cute train with so much detail. The flowers are the Chrysanthemum and the leaves are the Flourish #13 .   I hope you will come join our challenge for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree @http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge. Have a crafty week my friends.

Lace

A warm hello to you. "Lace" That's the challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs. I started by matting three layers of paper for my base. I cut the Hearts (Set of 4) out of the white cardstock base. I layered the Dancing Doily Lace Border  along the top and bottom.  I cut the Love Tags (Set of 8) and threaded ribbon thru them and strung them along the top. The two flowers on the corners are from the  Sweet Christine . The leaves are from the Tea Rose Small . A few pearls added to the lace border and the card was complete. The hearts and tags are from the Crafty Ann Dies which Cheery Lynn Designs now owns. There is a nice selection of Crafty Ann dies which fits right in with the rest of Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  I invite you to come join our challenge for your chance to win a $20.00  shopping spree.

Things With Wings

Hi there. This weeks challenge @ Cheery Lynn Designs is "Things With Wings". I really like the Feathered Friends set . It is a set of four bird with beautiful detail to them. So I picked the blue jay from that set to feature on my card. I used distress inks to create a sunset background and then stamped a few branches. I used the Old Barn Board  cut narrow for my fence posts. The Barbed Wire  was then tacked to the posts. The blue jay from the Feathered Friends  was inked and perched on the barbed wire.  A couple of the leaves from the Dimensional Small Leaves #2 were layered in the top corner. A few of the tiny dragonflies from the Tiny Things with Wings  are flying high around the moon.  The new  Grass Border 2  is layered along the bottom.  I invite you now to come join the "Things with Wings" challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge.

All About Texture

Hello Today at Cheery Lynn Designs is a new challenge. The theme is "All About texture". I started by folding a piece of black paper and cutting the largest of the Pierced Stacker #3 just a bit above the fold so it makes a beautiful card base. I cut a single one after that and placed it behind the front of the card with it off set at the bottom just a bit for another layer.  I then sprayed it with perfect pearl mist to give it a nice sparkle texture. I then cut the Flourish #10  out of the middle of a piece of thick paper and used it as a stencil with a white pearl paste. It is had to see in the photo but the paste with the flourish really gave it some great texture. After the flourish dried I then tinted it with a touch of green with gelatos. I cut and assembled three of the Bell Flowers and layered onto the flourish. The butterfly is a stamped image colored with gelatos. I stamped the sentiment  and then cut it out with the Pierced Banners (Set of 3). I cut a second banner in black to mat with. A bit of bling and the card was finished. The Flourish and Bell Flowers are crafty Ann dies with are a new line of Cheery Lynn Designs. I invite you to come join our challenge

August 23rd Anything goes

Hi there. The challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs this week is "Anything Goes". I started with a wood grain base then added the Chicken Wire . I had fun with the new Thankful Harvest  die. I followed the video that is on the homepage of CLD website by embossing instead of cutting the die and then coloring the areas the color I wanted them. I then cut out one and placed over the colored embossed design. How cool is that. I did the coloring and shading with copic markers. I colored the Sunflower with copics also and placed some leaves behind it from the  Build a Flower # 1. A few Wheat Heads here and there where tucked in behind. Last I added the Paris Signs 1  to the top corner with the text give thanks on it. I invite you now to come join our challenge

Aug 16th Doilies

Hello This weeks challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is "Doilies". I started with the Circle - Scalloped LG Stackers  folded in half  for the base. I then used the Doily Stacker Circles cut to size and layered on top of the base. Layered on top of the base is the Circle - Scalloped LG Stackers  and the Fleur De Lis Doily  followed by the Heart and Arrow  with the sentiment Love.  One of the Small Exotic Butterflies #2 w/Angel Wings  was added to the top right. I collected some of the pieces from the Fleur De Lis Doily  and layered them along the edge of the Doily Stacker Circles . A few pearls finished the design off nicely. Please come join the challenge

Back To Nature

A warm hello. Today I am going to share with you a card I created for the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge. The theme is "Back to Nature (butterflies,birds, bees etc.)". I choose to make a card using just four dies. I like the way it turned out with all the dies being featured equally and all standing out nicely. I started with a black base. I then cut the largest of the Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker A2 Frame  set and layered it onto the base. I cut the wings from the Small Lace Butterfly w/Angel Wing  and colored it with copic markers. I cut the butterfly from the Small Lace Butterfly w/Angel Wing  in white and layered it on top of the colored wings. What a striking butterfly it created. I used the Leafy Flourish  in green on the corners and cut it again in white. I then cut the flowers off the white flourish and colored them to match the butterfly. I popped the colored flowers up on the flourish to give another layer. I used the sentiment Mother's with the "S" cut off and added Mother to the top corner. I really like how striking this all looks on the black base. I hope you will come join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge  for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. Have a crafty week.

Summer Fun

Welcome. Today I am sharing with you my card for the "Summer Fun" challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs. I started by drawing the shape of flip flops and cutting them out. I added two white strips of paper with the one end rounded for the straps and added a flower from the Tiny Flower Kit . How cute they turned out. I cut a narrow piece of pattern paper and used the Royal Scandinavian Border Set  to cut a design along the edge of it. I then layered it along the top. I cut the Fleur De Lis Doily (Set of 2) and backed the smaller one with cream paper. This made a beautiful background for the umbrella. To create the umbrella I used one of the  Circle Classic - Silver Stackers  cut in half. I then cut the fancy edge along the bottom of the umbrella with the Royal Scandinavian Border Set  in purple pattern paper and layered it along the bottom. I used the small design from the Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 to layer at the top of the umbrella. A skewer stick was then added to finish off the umbrella. The sentiment Friend  was added to the bottom corner. The flip flops were layer on the opposite bottom corner. Some tiny bling gave it that little extra.

Anything Goes /Halloween

Welcome back. I have used a few of the new Halloween dies on this 7.5 x 8.5 mini album cover page for the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge "Anything Goes". I started by layering a couple of the different sizes of frames from the Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frame  set. I then layered the Trick or Treat , Home Sweet Home , Jack-O'-Lanterns . and Tomb Stone  { all newly released dies } on top of the frames.  The cutest little crows along the top of the one frame is from the Tomb Stone set. The tiny witch is from the Bundle of 7 Dies  set. The spider web is from the Lace Corner Deco H  set. The Ornamental Gate  is used behind the Jack o Lanterns and House. I cut a third gate and cut the top of the pickets off and layered in front of the tomb stone. These dies used together really do make a great cover page for a Halloween mini album. I invite you to come join our challenge
