Some Cheer from Cheery Lynn Designs!!

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my final projects as guest designer this month for Cheery Lynn Designs.  It's been such an enjoyable month creating with all these beautiful die cuts!  For my final projects I thought I would play a little more with the Shasta Daisy Flower strip!  I thought I would change things up a bit and use the strip on two types of paper, regular card stock and some vellum, so that I could make a bloom with layers that you could see through. 

To make this flower I cut 2 of the largest blooms on the strip out of pink vellum, and 2 of the same size from a soft pink card stock.  I used a good white gel pen (my favourite is the Signo Unibal pen, it works very well on vellum) to make little dots fading out from the center of the bloom (you only need to add the dots on the top 2 sheer layers).  And finally added an adhesive pearl center to finish the bloom.  I used a couple of cuts from the Tropical Flourish coming out from behind the bloom cluster to add a little dramatic flourish to the finished card.

For my second card I again used the Shasta Daisy Strip and combined it with Manon's Wedding Garland die cut.  This die cut has a pretty lacy oval design and a couple of pretty floral cuts in it as well.....here is what the die cut looks like...

I love that you don't end up wasting paper when you use this die cut, ...you get the lacy oval design and you get the extra floral bloom accents as well!

 

To make the daisy's above I just cut out 2 large and 2 of the next size down....I tinted the centers of the medium size blooms with some green chalk ink and finished with a gem accent.  For the smallest daisy I used 3 of the smallest cuts layered.

It's been such a pleasure being guest designer for the month of September, I hope you've enjoyed my projects as much as I've enjoyed creating them!  I want to thank BJ for her kind generosity and thank Lori Williams for her patient help in getting me organized for the month! xo

 

Take a Hike {Maja Design, MLYB, Tresors De Luxe, Cheery Lynn Design}

Chloe, my oldest daughter goes on these little hikes with her friends and comes back with these wonderful  photos, gorgeous views, breath-taking waterfalls....who knew we had such beautiful areas to hike in so close by!   For this page I wanted to use a lot of natural elements....so I used a color combination of soft pink and natural browns.  I used papers from the Maja Design paper collection called "Antligen"...

Vårdagjämning

(I used this paper pretty much as is, I just did a little stamping with some white paint and bubble wrap)

 

Kaffe på trappan

(used as matting for background paper as well as for the Cheery Lynn 'Fanciful Flourish...love this die cut!!) 

The chicken wire pieces are of course from Dusty Attic Designs (you can find online stores that sell Dusty Attic products in the rightside panel of my blog).

 

Den oersättliga tiden (used the clock design)

 

For the natural elements on the page I used a bunch of embellishments from the My Little Yellow Bicycle 'Naturals' collection.... I love these embellishments, they seem to compliment any paper collection I use!

 

And before you all send me messages to ask.... :) .....the gorgeous lace I used on this page is from Tresors De Luxe, you can find Lucy's beautiful lace embellishments HERE.

 

Hope you enjoyed my project today, I try to add links to all the products I use on my pages, so if you are looking for the products I used you can just hit the highlighted links to find them :)

(Stay tuned for the beginning of September....I'm going to have an awesome GIVE-AWAY for a brand new Autumn collection from Maja Design!)

Here is a little peek at the new Vintage Autumn Basics collection....

 

Happy Scrapping! xo

Fun with Banners {Bo Bunny Design Team}

Banners have been a fun new design element in the past couple of years....and Bo Bunny challenged some of us design team members to create a layout with banners! 

 I chose to use some of the ready made layered chipboard banners from the C'est La Vie collection as well as some banner pieces from the patterned paper.

I also used some of those cute coordinating blossoms that Bo Bunny put out last year.  I used the Blush Daisy collection and a couple of the blooms from the Blush Bouquet collection as well.

Do you like the pretty flourishes I used on the two photos above?  Well, here's a little secret, just between you and me.....Cheery Lynn Designs Die Cuts asked me to be their guest designer in September and I got a bunch of their gorgeous dies in the mail a few days ago!   I just couldn't resist giving them a little try before then so I cut out a couple of the flourishes 'Fanciful Flourish'.  I just LOVE them!  They're so fine and delicate!  I thought I might have a hard time getting them out of the die's because they are so delicate, but they popped out easy-peasy!  Must be some sort of special design :)  I can't wait to share more with you in September!

 

If you'd like to see more pages and projects using banners you've got to take a peek at the Bo Bunny Blog today, there are some really beautiful projects shared there!
