Happy Easter!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share an Easter card using many of the new release dies from January CHA! The A2 Frames are awesome for making card bases and actual frames for your cards. I cut the dotty frame by positioning the largest frame with the 3rd largest frame on my die cut platform and making both cuts at the same time while running it through my machine. I use a magnetic platform but I've also used tape in the past to make this cut. 

Next I cut several colors of the basket so that it could be cut apart to create a decorative basket full of eggs. I layered my cuts so that the bow was the top most piece, then the basket with some eggs cut to go on top of others to give dimension. A bit of charcoal chalk was lightly colored along edges to further accentuate the dimension. The basket was layered in the grasses and my little chicks were flocked and a wee giggle eye was added for some fun! The Happy Easter sentiment was cut apart to fit on the top and bottom of the frame.

#Iam4H Layout with Cheery Lynn Designs

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share a layout using the new release dies. My family is in 4-H and the kids show rabbits as a project.  The bunny dies in the new release are a perfect accent for my 8×8" layout. I layered mats cut from the Deutschland Boutique stacker set with mats with the Deutschland Border set. I love how they work together nicely with the A2 Frames. We show Californian Rabbits and they have the exact body type as the Bunnies. To finish them off I colored their noses, feet, tail and ears gray/black like the real rabbits. I titled my layout #Iam4H to complete the page.

Once Upon a Time

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share another example using the new release dies. I am using the Royal Scandinavian Border Set which matches perfectly the Royal Scandinavian Doily which was part of a previous release. The Doily is cut with a solid center and layered onto a matted square. The Once Upon a Time sentiment was adhered with a piece of bling for the dot on the "i". 

To create the layered trim across the center of the card, I cut my card stock pieces and taped the dies to hold the placement. For the yellow strip I ran the card stock through twice to cut on both edges. I love that these dies can be used on an edge of any 8" or shorter piece of card stock to add a fancy touch.  A bit of bling in the centers of the motifs added the perfect embellishment.

I cut the center of my doily out with the thin oval die provided and then fit my gears behind it. Both the Gear Mesh and the Wings were cut out of black card stock and sponged with gold chalk powder to produce the shimmer.The focal heart was simply layered with the large Two of Hearts in the back, the wings and then the smaller Heart 'n Gears die cut.
