Delightful Thursday!

It's Delightful Thursday and the Digital Delights design team is sharing inspiration on the Digital Delights Blog today! 

GOOD Morning! Today's card from Digital Delights features a beautiful pre-colored image! I love the pre-colored images for quick and easy cards and for when I'm making a stack of them [like thank yous, or invites]. To add a bit of sparkle to this card I used a thin glue and some glitter applied to the hat brim, skirt and shoes. I folded a ruffle for the side of my focal piece and foam mounted it on the the back ground! I love that this holiday paper matched the colors of Watermelon Samantha perfectly! As there are no holiday themed images on it, it was safe to use with this summery card! Remember to look at ALL of your paper before settling on a complimentary papers. You might be surprised to find a jewel in the last place you look!

Delightful Thursday | Pressie Josh Birthday Card

It's Delightful Thursday and the Digital Delights design team is sharing inspiration on the Digital Delights Blog today! 
Today I'm coloring the delightful Pressie Josh! I love all of the "Pressie" series of images in the store but Pressie Josh is my favorite to color. Yesterday was my son's birthday and so I made this card for him! I've been trying some new coloring techniques and today you will notice I've gone back to using both my spectrum noir with my BIC Mark-its. For me they produced the perfect greens in the bow and hat and shirt. Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card.

Springtime Hugs

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share a spring card complete with garden fence, flowers and a butterfly. I love the A2 stackers and how great they are for making layers on your card. This card uses 4 of the rectangles to create layers....the focal piece that I water-colored is a much larger stamp and I simply cut with an inner rectangle the portion I wanted to show on my card. The mini doily is inked around the edges to enhance the laceyness of the doily. A mini flourish, mini butterfly and tiny flowers complete the look of the card. I'm ready for spring! only four more weeks!

love tag

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I am sharing a Valentine tag using the new borders die along with the Lords and Commons doily and the Lattice Heart and Vines. The base is created by die cutting the edge of the die with the Scandinavian border die and adding a bit of the Lords and Commons Doily as a topper to the tag. The lattice dies was cut and hand painted gold on the heart and green on the vines. Daisies were die cut from a book print paper and inked and painted with pink and gold. a bead was added to the center to complete the flower.

The key, lock and "love" were die cut with a neutral card stock and then hand-colored gold with creams. The "love" was added to the bottom of the tag and the key and lock tucked into the flowers.

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.

Holiday Ornaments

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I created some last-minute ornaments for my tree and for gifts. I am using the 60 degree triangles from the Quilt and Fabric dies! These are a bit deeper than our normal Cheery Lynn Designs Dies and allow for multiple pieces of card stock to be cut at once! This makes creating a project like this where you would need 20 triangles so much quicker and easier.

The notches on the die make it easy to fold up the edges of the triangle for gluing. This is the seam allowance for quilting but it is perfect for gluing to create the ornament.

To create the ornament you need a string of 10 triangles glued together as above left. Additionally you need a top and a bottom of the ornament that is constructed like on the right. I found that it goes together easier if you nip off the very tips of the allowance at the points. I allows the card stock to sit nicely and not have to be bent to allow for the final connections to be made. 

  Cheery Lynn Dies used

60 Degree Triangles (Set of 3 Dies)
Holly Leaves - B183
Poinsettia Strip - B324

I finished my ornaments with a chenille stem ring for hanging the ornament and some shaped poinsettias and holly leaves. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project!
