It's A Dry Heat! With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! Im back today sharing a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs using their New Release Northern United States and Provinces. I live here in Arizona, so I had to share the popular "It's A Dry Heat" card. This card was inspired by a post card here in AZ. I placed the "Arizona State" in the middle of the card. The State was cut 3 times in each color and then I fussy cut the white cardstock behind it. It really makes it pop out a bit more. In the center is a star from "100 stars" 

The "scalloped frame" was cut in light purple and kraft and then placed together. The cactus was made using "surfer's up set" surf boards and I embossed them to look like cacti. I also used the small bushes in kraft since it is hot in the summer and everything turns a bit brown. 

The sun was made using a "sunflower" and the font is microsoft word Bleeding Cowboys. The little skeleton is a stamp that I fussy cut out. Lots of pop dots behind, but you could also leave it flat for mailing out.

Hope you enjoyed!

Aged To Perfection With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! Today, I'm sharing with you another new card made for Cheery Lynn Designs using their New Release North American and Provinces. When the DT was asked to pick out which 3 dies they wanted to design with...one of mine was originally Florida. However, several of my team wanted it too. So I thought I would change it to California since I do visit there often. As I was thinking of designing a card with California, I thought of Wine Country! 

The "California" state I die cut and then fussy cut around it in purple to stick out a bit more. I then stamped wine glasses and a sentiment on top. I also stamped some grapes and a wine bottle, they are colored with topic markers. 

The flowers are "sweet williams strip " and the leaves are " flourish #14"  I also added "tiny flourishes" for some swirls. The flowers are chalked on the edges for a tiny distressed look. 

I added several pop dots behind the dies...they are addicting! lol

Today, we are debuting the new release called Northern American States and Provinces! There are so many ways of using this collection and I hope you can be inspired by my "Hawaii" card and mini purse/beach bag.

I'm still on my beach mode and I'm thinking I might be there for a bit longer! LOL

I used several older Cheery Lynn Designs Dies too. You can see them below.

When I think of "Hawaii" I think of sand beaches, palm trees, under an umbrella having maybe a tropical beverage! Yum! Next to me is my beach bag with a few extra essentials, sunglasses, flip flops, sunscreen and my love! 

Here is the back of the mini purse...I added more flowers and waves.

The inside of the mini purse....for a lip balm.
