Thinking of You

Hello! Jodi here today sharing a fun way to use the Reflections Boutique dies

for sentiment blocks on your cards.

One of the great advantages of the Reflections dies is being able to adjust the length/size of your cut. Using the smallest die from the Mini Pearl Rectangle Reflections set, I cut my block to fit inside of Fiona’s Magic Window. The size of the block was just perfect for stamping my sentiment yet gave me a little space to add a few embellishments.

I created a small bouquet using the Large Rose, Miniature Rose and Flourish Leaf Strip. Using only three layers from the Miniature Rose set to create a bud, I then covered the bud with leaves from a branch from the Flourish Leaf Strip. I layered an Exotic Butterfly Mini atop an Exotic Butterfly Small #2.

Tucked between the sentiment block and frame is the center of the Polynesian Sails Oval doily. For a little extra lacy effect, I placed a corner from Lace Corner Deco F on each edge of the frame. The base of the card was built with layers of the Oval Classic Silver Stacker( embossed with the Diamonds and Starburst XL Embossing Plate) atop the Oval Scalloped Stacker Nesting die.

There are some FUN and EXCITING things coming to Cheery Lynn Designs!!! Check back Monday for the BIG announcement! Believe me, you don’t want to miss this!!

When is a circle a square?

Do you like that title?  The reason that's my title is because the main part of this card is made out of the 

Reflections Dies Scalloped Circle Set.

I wanted to point out a couple of things about the REFLECTIONS DIES.   

They are very versatile, you can mix and match the sets, you can use them for cards, scrapbook pages and even sentiments and tags.

This card not only uses the Scalloped Circle Reflections set, but also the Mini Pearl French Flair set.

On the dark blue base you can see how elegant the Mini Pearl French Flair is.

I also used the Mini Pearl French Flair to create all my sentiment tags.

The tags were then embellished with rub-ons, Flourish Leaf Strip, Pretty Petal and mini pearls.

Here you can see how this unique card opens up.

You can see how the card is created with the 4 circles.

It is opened and closed the same way you open and close a packing type box.

Here is the inside all decorated also.

I just love this type of card!

I hope you can see just how much fun you can have with our Reflections Dies.  The possibilities are endless.  It is like buying 3 types of dies all in one shot.  Scrapbooking, card making and tag/sentiment dies all in one!

Reflection dies fairy card - Kianel

Hello dear Cheery Lynn designs lovers,
Kianel here with you today. You know that i like to challenge myself so today my challenge was to use many layers, use reflection die to make a label/tag and to use color combo peach + sage green.
So on the card today, i played with my reflection dies to build the different layers and label and i thought i would show you how to make pretty cool newspaper rolls (?) with them too. (Click on the pictures to see them bigger).

So here is the card:

The base of the card is made using the Horizon coved rectangle mega doily (largest size) that i flipped in two to get a cool card shape. I inked a bit and then used the inside of the die to get the perfect size to cut my green patterned paper. That's it for the 1st layer.

Second layer is made using the Mini pearl circle mega doily cut in white cardstock. I didn't use the entire shape, just a little more that half of it. I then used a XL circle stackers to cut my peach patterned paper a bit smaller and sewed a piece of small lace around.

Third layer is made using 2 pieces of the Bunny and chick border that i put on each side of the blue patterned paper.

I then placed a peach ribbon in the middle a nd bowed it around a small tag i made using one of the smallest dies from the Mini pearl square mega doily die. You can give those any size you want so the possibilities are endless. (i showed you how with this tutorial if you are interested).

 

For the fourth layer, i cut a Mini pearl rectangle mega doily matching the size of my stamped image using the same technique as before.

 So here you have your 4 layers using reflection dies. Now, for the decoration, i used the darling daisies that i slightly painted with Creative Inspirations paints and Flourish leaf strip which is one of my favourite dies, also painted.

Now, for the newspapers rolls, here is an easy way to do them using the smallest size of the Mini pearl rectangle mega doily that you can shorten in both directions.  Cut out several pieces of a book page with the reflection die and try to vary the sizes.

Ink your papers and roll around a pick. Just remember to place the scalloped edge last so that the design shows.

Tie together with a trim and voilà!

All dies are from Cheery Lynn Designs, papers are Graphic 45, stamps are Magnolia and Infiniment scrap, inks are Versafine and Gistress, paints are Creative inspirations paints.
I know i received a lot of questions about how to make a flower with the corner dies so i am preparing a tutorial for you but i just need time, lol!
Take care and don't forget to go and join our super talented DT in the weekly challenge blog for a chance to win a 20$ shopping spree.
Love from France, Kianel.

Cheery Lynn Designs Floral Basket and Card

Well, as you can see I played with my Cheery Lynn Designs Build a Flower die set to decorate this basket that I created with my Scalloped Coved Rectangle Stackers dies.  I added texture to the basket with my Large Rectangle Stitcher Plate.  Using my Oval Stackers and Scalloped Oval Stackers I die cut the brown frame to which I added my  Lattice 2 die.  I added a white panel behind this which I also textured with my Stitcher plate.  Next came the flowers.  The large flowers on the left are made with the Build a Flower petals with stamen centers.  The flowers on the right are made with the flower base as well as stamens.  I added some Flourish Leaf Strips as well as leaves from the Dimensional Leaves Large 2 set. 

Here is another card where I have paired my flowers with the Spring Flower Burst Doily.  Using my Horizon Coved Rectangle Mega Doily dies, I created the panel behind the doily as well as the center panel behind the sentiment (cut with Scalloped Circle Little Stackers dies).  Finished size is 6" square.

Cheery Lynn Reflection Dies

One of my favorite techniques is to create with shapes.  It makes your projects interesting and are so much more fun to make than just a square or rectangle.  Anyone who knows me knows that I use lots of different shapes for my projects.  Today I'm sharing a fun shaped card.  I created the base of the card with the Mini Pearl French Flair Die.  Its such a gorgeous shape and one of my favorites that gets used on many of my projects.   I created the flower with the new Build a Flower #1 die.  This Die has so many possibilities!  It gives you gorgeous intricate details especially for the flower centers! The flourishes and leaves are made with the new Mini Flourish and the new Iris Leaves Die.  The Leaves were made with the Frangipani with Leaves die.

 

The next time you want to create a card or layout with additional shape be sure to check out Cheery Lynns Reflecion Dies, they will make any project inspiring!

The theme for this weeks challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is For The Grad.  Be sure to play along for your chance at a $20 Gift Certificate good for shopping at  Cheery Lynn Designs Dies website!!!

Felt Flowers Tutorial with Cheery Lynn Designs Dies

You know making flowers is one of my favorite techniques - but they don't always have to be made from paper. Today I have a tutorial to share with you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs Dies and felt to create gorgeous blooms. And, these flowers don't have to stay just on your paper projects. Imagine these on your favorite sweater, a cute summer straw hat or purse. The ideas are endless!

So, let's get started!

Grab some felt (I used wool felt, but feel free to use the acrylic felt found at any craft store). In order to get a nice clean cut, place a piece of cardstock, then your fabric, then your die. Having the paper under the felt gives the die a little more "tooth" to cut. I used the Large, Medium and Miniature Rose dies for my flower. I also placed my die to the far left of my cutting plates, because I've found on my machine, this is the area with the most pressure.

Cut 2 Large, 2 Medium, and 1 Miniature Rose for each flower.

Instead of stitching through the whole flower stack at a time, add one layer at a time, and stitch with a cross stitch, to secure the petals adjacent to each other.

Continue adding layers, one at a time, until the stack is complete. I sewed seed beads, one at a time for my center, but you could also add French knots, or other decorative embroidery stitches.

For the bud, I just took one of the large roses, and stitched the petals together, and then added a green felt calyx around the petals.

I'd love to see your projects that you create using these techniques! The new challenge is also up - For the Grad - so get those projects in for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate!

Create a Frame

Hello! I just love the versatility 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. Foliage 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.

Have A Blooming Good Day!

Hi! It's Gini here today filling in for Jeannie.  She will be back next week with an awesome project. When I saw this paper (Dilly Dally from MME), it reminded me of a day in the country, surrounded by barns, flowers and fields. So, it should be no surprise that I paired this paper up with some wonderful Cheery Lynn Designs dies to create a fun and nostaligic card. I pictured an old church window, with vines and flowers trailing around it.

I used Judy's Blooms and Build A Flower One to create my Camelia. (Let me just tell you the stamens that come with the Build A Flower are going to become one of your favorite dies!) I took Fiona's Magic Window, and cut away the middle of it, to create a wonderful border.

Remember, if you would like to add a window or a door to your project, then go enter it in this week's challenge for your chance to win a $20 CLD gift certificate!

For those of you in the States, I hope you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!
