Good Day with Corina

Hello Friends!

It's Corina with you today - on this fabulous Friday! I wanted to start off by saying that I love checking out our Challenge each week here of the Cheery Lynn Blog and seeing every ones wonderful and lovely creations. I like to see what inspires each person, how they create and some times a glimpse into their life and thought process.

As I was making my card for this weeks post,  'ionabunny' blog post from her last weeks card challenge entry popped into my head! My card needs......This is exactly what she was talking about!
    "Do you ever start a project and it just get bigger and bigger and bigger??  It just needs one little bit to finish it.  And maybe a bit here.  And there."
You are so right Gail/Iona/Crafty Nomad! - Love your posts!

As I mentioned last week, I sometimes cut the dies and use pieces of them. I
cut the Ribbon Eyelet Border die cut down the center and placed half on both sides of my pattern paper strip going down my card. I also used the left over piece of my Chasing Rainbows Doily die cut from last weeks card! Added some ink and it made a wonderful layer! Never throw anything away!

Dies used:
Sweet Christine - B434
Tea Rose Medium - B436
Miniature Rose - B152
Coved Rectangle Classic - Silver Stackers - L-10
Add a Flourish (Set of 2) - B456
Chasing Rainbows Doily with Angel Wing - DL229
Tiny Things with Wings - B266

I hope you will play along in our weekly Challenge 134 - Roses. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store!

Happy Card with Corina Finley

 

Corina here with the Friday blog post for Cheery Lynn Designs. Thank you for joining me!

 

I created my flowers using the background patterned paper as a colour palette. This weeks card has a Fall Vintage feel! I love the brightness of the orange and the depth of the brown tones.

 

Here is a close-up of the floral arrangement. I used buttons, ribbon, seam binding, pearls and my homemade shimmer spray to enhance my flowers. Don't be afraid to cut up your die cuts and use portions of them. I used a piece of the Chasing Rainbows Doily on the top right of the floral arrangement.

Gardenia Strip - B339

Hello Card From Corina!

 

Hello Everyone!

 

Corina here with the Cheery Lynn Designs Friday blog post. Thank you for joining me!

 

I very much enjoyed creating this card because I used a few new release dies for the first time and also tried cutting the Rustic Birdhouse die out of burlap. Which was not difficult at all. The die went through my Big Shot with no problem, smooth and easy!

 

 

I love creating nature scenes for my cards using my Cheery Lynn Dies. I hope you will try a new medium (burlap, vellum, Lutradur® Mixed Media Sheets )  to die cut on your next project! Let me know what you tried!

 

 

 

Dies used:

Hello (Set of 2) - B346

Grass Border - B126

Oval - XM-7

Rustic Birdhouse - B452

Tiny Flower Kit (Set of 3) - B376

I hope you will play along in our weekly challenge 132 - Dry Embossing. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store.

 

Have a great weekend and remember to Create!

Forever Card

Hello!

Corina here, for the Cheery Lynn Designs Friday blog post! I thought I would share with you a Wedding themed card. I believe that this card could also be given as an Anniversary Card.

I love using inks and sprays to create my colour palette. I decided to spray the medium doily (Lilith Doily) with homemade glimmer mist in Black Pearl and the Butterfly (Small Exotic Butterflies #1) with Silver Onyx. The heart (Two Of Hearts) was sprayed with Cherry Pie Dylusions. The POP of red on the beautiful heart doily is perfect!

Layering with Cheery Lynn Dies is easy and simple. The hardest choice is colour! So let your imagination take over and see where it takes you!

Have a great weekend and remember to Create!

Dies used:
Mega Fanciful Flourish - B167
Small Gardenia - B433

Life Moments Card

Happy May Everyone!

Today I am sharing my Life Moments Card on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog. For this weeks card post, I used the NEW Bird Bath die, along with a few Doily dies and my favourite NEW die set the Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies but on this card I used the smallest). Absolutely perfect for sentiments!
 

 

I love layering with Cheery Lynn Dies. They work so well together. As you can see from the pictures above and below that I have 7+ layers! Even with so many layers, this card can easily fit into a regular card envelope for mailing.

 

 

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend - with some time to create with your favourite Cheery Lynn Dies!
