Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 146 - Doilies

I have two Cherry Lynn doilies on this baby girl card:   the Polynesian Sails Oval DL153 and the Manon's Wedding Garland DL218.  I found the template on-line for the baby girl dress.

I used both of the doilies from the Polynesian Sails Oval.  I cut the small Polynesian Sails Oval die  doily in half and used it for the collar and some the other half and cut it out and used it for the trim on the arms of the blouse.  The large doily from the Polynesian Sails Oval was cut and used for the bottom as the pink lace on the baby girl dress. 

I used the Manon's Wedding Garland doily and cut it and used it for the white lace on the bottom of the dress.

I embossed the dress with an dotted embossing folder and had some ribbon roses that I used on the dress.

I took the Cherry Lynn saying, "Celebrate" and curved it and added pearls to accent the saying.  Additional Cherry Lynn dies that were used:  Cherry Lynn Butterfly, Cherry Lynn Dragonfly from the Tiny Things with Wings, and Cherry Lynn Ivy Strip die. 

The flowers came from Wild Orchid Crafts and my friend gave me the gazebo die.  The frame is from Spellbinders Detail Scallop and the embossing folder was from Cuttlebug.

Cherry Lynn Challenge #137 - Keep It Krafty

There is a few tutorials that I followed making this Box Card.

I used Kraft card stock for the base of my Box Card and sponged it with rose red and used Graphic 45 paper on both sides of this card.  I cut two Graphic 45 roses from the paper and used a McGill flower tool to mold it on the inside and only glued the rim of the rose to bring out an embossing look to accent the roses and glued my Cherry Lynn Baby Breathe flowers on the outside of these roses.

I made the lower rose using the Cherry Lynn medium rose die and surrounded it with the Cherry Lynn leaf and Cherry Lynn ivy leaf.  The black and white doily frame is from the Cherry Lynn Polynesian die.  The corners in the card is from the Cherry Lynn Deco.  I used the Cherry Lynn saying "Celebrate".  

Cherry Lynn Challenge - Creative Corners

This was my first easel card that I have ever made. 
I made all of the flowers from the Cherry Lynn dies and all of the centers were made using the Cherry Lynn Build A Flower #1.  The following Cherry Lynn flower dies were used to create these flowers:
B433 Small Gardenia Strip (made into the red rose)
B310 Shasta Daisy Strip (yellow and white daisy flowers),
 B364 Baby Breathe flowers,
 B307 Sweet William flowers (purple)
 B241 Cherry Lynn Rose Leaf Strip,  and B178 Cherry Lynn Flourish Leaf Strip .  I used the Cherry Lynn sayings, "Sister" and "Hugs" and cut the "ter" off Sister.
Cherry Lynn Deco Corners B and Cherry Lynn Deco Corner E

The Paper came from Graphic 45 Secret Garden which I would recommend.  The flowery frame is from the Martha Stewart Flower Punch around the page.  I made the lady bugs from the Ranger Pearl black and red.

The frame is a Spellbinder Decorative frame.

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 135 - Red, White and Blue

I wasn't sure what I had in Cherry Lynn for a patriotic red, white and blue card. It took me a while since I didn't have a complete idea on how this card will look so I started with the Cherry Lynn Cape Cod DL 250 doily and made a  red white and blue flag from the Sizzix die and cut out red and blue circles.  After gluing the circle and doily, I cut the it in half and glued the flag in the center.  The doily and flag looked better on the Cherry Lynn Step Card B348 than other card shapes that I tried out.


I cut out the bear with the flag, stars, the red, white and blue frame and "God Bless America" from an ole 4th of July Darice printed paper.  I used paper came from my scraps to make the rest of the card.   I cut out two fireworks which is on top left and curled and glued on top of the other to give it some dimension.  I added Stickle glue on the printed fireworks, stars and on the bear's hat to add sparkle. 

Cherry Lynn Challenge #134 Roses

Cherry Lynn Challenge #134 Roses

I made two different roses from the Cherry Lynn Medium Rose B152 which is white and inked on the sides of the petal with red and Small Gardenia B433 which I designed as a rose.  The Small Gardenia is from the recent Cherry Lynn releases.    Behind the roses, is the Cherry Lynn Baby's Breath Flower along with the Cherry Lynn Ivy Strip B304.  I used the Cherry Lynn Sophia border which is in red behind the flowers.

The saying came from Essentials and the frame is from Spellbinders. 

Cherry Lynn Manly Challenge 133

Cherry Lynn Manly Challenge:  I had a lot of fun making this but the idea came from another person's tutorial about how to create this paper and fishing vest.  My Cherry Lynn Dies were the sayings:  Dream Big, Happy, and Birthday.

I created the camouflaged paper by using the Stampin Up colored Crumb Cake paper and used the following colored inks with a sponge:  olive, mustard, brown.  I stamped the paper using the same ink colors using leaf stamps and used my Copic Marker brown to draw the branch on the paper and used a white ink pen before cutting this out to create this fishing vest.

Cherry Lynn Challenge 111 Sparkle and Shine

This is a challenge at http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/search/label/challenge  that I enjoyed this week using again the Cherry Lynn Step Card die. I just purchased the Cherry Lynn Christmas Candlelight and it fits nicely onto the step card. I added the Spellbinder poinsettia made from red glitter paper and Impression Obsession pine branch to go over the Cherry Lynn poinsettia and pine branch to add texture.
The Merry Christmas is from Cherry Lynn. I love the Cherry Lynn sayings and they cut out very nicely and go well on cards rather than the mistakes that I make with stamping the saying.

I used the Ranger Liquid Pearl opal for the candle wax drip.  There are three Ranger Stickle colors - red, orange, and gold for the candle light.

Cherry Lynn Vintage Card

I am entering this into the Cheery Lynn challenge
http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/search/label/challenge


I love my Cherry Lynn dies.  All of the sayings are from Cherry Lynn and very worth every penny.  There are "Make a Wish", "Celebrate", "Happy Birthday" from Cherry Lynn.  I use the Cherry Lynn saying on every card.  all of the time as well as their deco corners and butterflies.   I made this card they reference as an 'explosion card since it is designed as a box and when opened, it opens as a card.  The flowers are sitting on top of a cupcake foil and I designed  a bouquet of flowers are also on the bottom of this cupcake as well as top of the box.  I made a lady bug out of a kit by Susan Cockburn "Lady Bug" and the dies are from Cherry Lynn.

I used a variety of flowers from Wild Orchid as well as using Cherry Lynn leaf dies in the flowers.  The vintage paper is from Graphic 45

Cherry Lynn Challenge - Black and Orange card

I am having so much fun using Cherry Lynn dies for this Halloween and used the Cherry Lynn step card a lot now that I got it.  The Cherry Lynn Polynesian doily die on this card has been used in a variety of my cards from vintage, Christmas, birthdays  to now Halloween.  As you can see below, the Cherry Lynn "Happy" and "Halloween" were used.  I plan to continue to collect most of the Cherry Lynn sayings since they are easy to use and look great on cards.  I used the Cherry Lynn leaf strip which is behind the flower.  The cat, house, etc. came from the Impression Obsession Halloween scene and I cut each one out to put on the card.  The inside of the Cherry Lynn Polynesian is a Marianne die.  The little girl is a Paper Shelter's digital picture.

Cherry Lynn Halloween Explosion Card

I just received the new Cherry Lynn spider web and used it in a variety of ways and this card, I used it in two different ways, as a corner and as a whole.  There is a variety of Cherry Lynn dies such as the Cherry Lynn pumpkin flourish with a scary face and Happy Halloween saying.  I love the Cherry Lynn sayings that come in two sizes.  I bought these dies at Joan's Garden.

This card is an explosion card and being sent to my little nephew whose birthday is on Halloween.  The other sides of the inside part of this  card are made using old Sizzix dies and the new Impression Obsession die of the Halloween scene.  The cat is new from Spellbinders and I cut out green glitter paper for the eyes.

The middle of the card is a LED candle.

The top of the card is the Cherry Lynn dies of Happy and Birthday but I cut out the "irth" and added two google eyes to create Boo Day.  The side of the card is the same new Cherry Lynn spider web but I cut 1/4 of it for the corners.  As you can see, this die has multiple purposes. I added some black web to the spider web that came from torn ribbon.

Below is the Cherry Lynn pumpkin flourish and added google eyes and glitter to create a little scary look.

This is the tea light turned on and you can see the scene with the Cherry Lynn spider web on the bottom.
