Gorjuss Creations

I am still LOVING my GORJUSS GIRLS and have combined them with my favorite dies, Cheery Lynn!

I have some of the supplies available for purchase here that I used in making my projects!

Here is a card I made:

 

I also made a Bag-Envelope that Patrice Carrow from the Altered Muse Studio taught in one of her UStream Classes that I fell in love with!

 



The "Petal Scruncher and Embosser" is my favorite Flower Tool ever!  It is PERFECT for any and all shaping and molding of petals when making your own flowers!  There is a quilling end on one side for rolling and "scrunching" your petals for a whole new look, and an embossing ball on the opposite end!  It is like getting 2 tools for the price of ONE!!!

SOLD OUT!  Thank You For Your Orders!

I used a card from the Gorjuss Playing Cards that I have for sale in the post right below this one.  There are VERY LIMITED quantities of the cards so if you want them GRAB them now!  There is a paypal link under the post of the cards you can use!

The Notelets are what I used on the Bag-Envelope and you can use them for so many things!  They can be your MAIN FOCUS on a project or a simple added embellishment!  You get 18 of these beauties!  One of my favorites for sure!

SOLD OUT  THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDERS!

As ALWAYS you can go to the Cheery Lynn website and let me know which dies you would like and I can offer you a 10% discount!  Here is the link to their site:

Think Spring With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hello Everyone!

I am "Thinking Spring" with Cheery Lynn Designs! I have had ENOUGH of winter...we just had snow LAST WEEK!  I am ready for spring and LOVE flowers!  My project is a Spring Fairy Book Box covered with flowers and leaves!

I used 4 Cheery Lynn Designs Dies on the Fairy Box:

#XL-8   Nesting  Oval Stackers Die
#B154   Medium Rose Die
#B178   Leaf Flourish Strip Die
#DL126 One Free Wish Die

The box has over 100 Flowers on it and several Leaf Flourishes!  I used the ONE FREE WISH DIE, The MEDIUM ROSE, and the LEAF FLOURISH STRIP.

        

This is the view of the "book Box" from the side.  It was purchased at Hobby Lobby and is a paper mache box in the shape of a book

This is the inside cover of the "book box".  The quote reads: "There is Beauty, Magic and Opportunity everywhere, in everything and in every one."


I enjoyed creating these projects and ALWAYS enjoy working with my Cheery Lynn Designs Dies! They are intricately detailed, easy to use and my projects ALWAYS turn out wonderful when I use them!  :)  Christine

Bountiful Blossom Barbie With Cheery Lynn Designs

This is my project for the Cheery Lynn Design Challenge for this week!  You can find the challenge blog and all of the projects submitted here:

                           http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/search/label/challenge

I LOVE Barbie and making Altered Barbies with Flowers and bling has always been one of my favorite things to do, however this is my FIRST ever Barbie made with HANDMADE FLOWERS!  WHAT BETTER WAY TO SHOW MY LOVE FOR CHEERY LYNN DIES AND BARBIES AT THE SAME TIME?!?

There are a TOTAL OF 135 HANDMADE FLOWERS and 35 Flourishes on this "Bountiful Blossom Barbie" and I used all Cheery Lynn Dies on her! (You can also purchase the dies from me below).

Her hair is adorned with with the Miniature Rose Flower, the Cutie Fringe IV and some leaves from the Flourish Leaf Strip.  I tucked a piece of tulle and some pearls behind her head and added some larger bling for a head band.  I added small rhinestones around her neck and added a tiny flower from the Tiny Flower Die to create her necklace.  She also has tiny rhinestones for earrings.

I used the Cutie Fringe IV Die and a few more Tiny Flowers to decorate her bodice and again added some leaves to create a waistline decoration.

 The sides of her dress are decorated with a trail of Tiny Flowers and Leaves again using the Tiny Flower Kit Die and the Flourish Leaf Strip.  If you look closely you can see bling added as a bracelet and as a ring for her finger.

The back of her dress was the most fun to do!  I placed a small butterfly from the Tiny Wings With Things Die on at her waist. I added large bling down the back of her dress and then cascaded flowers using the Fringe IV and Tiny Flower Dies all down the length of her dress.

There are over 120 flowers JUST on the back of this dress!

I added tiny bling to the centers of some of the flowers and left some of them pop up as "pom-pom" type flowers.

I LOVE Cheery Lynn Designs and ALL of their dies, but their flower dies are my favorite!  You can create so many beautiful things using them!

You can purchase the dies I used on this project below and if you look at past posts I have more dies to offer!

I hope you like my project!

Birds Of A Feather Class with Totally Tools and EXTRAS Available

Hello Ladies!

Here is the project for tonights class:

This post is TOTALLY about The TOOLS!  These are 3 of my all time favorite tools for crafting and especially for working with Cheery Lynn Dies!

First up is my FAVORITE, FAVORITE, FAVORITE Flower tool!  Oh , did I tell you it was my FAVORITE!?!?!  This tool is 6 1/4 inches long and is double ended.  One end has a stylus for embossing paper and the other end is slotted for rolling petals or for quilling!

Second is the BEST EVER glue bottle ever!  It has a SUPER FINE tip that holds .05 oz of any liquid.  Glue, paint, etc.  (I personally use this for my glue!)  THE TIP IS RUST PROOF METAL and the cap cover is attached to the actual bottle bottle so you can NEVER lose it!  There is also a notch on the side of the bottle for when you remove the cap to use the bottle and the cap then sits nicely on the notch!

And last but not least are the Super Fine Crafting Tweezers!  4 3/4" long and made from Stainless Steel. Perfect for holding or placing your fine objects onto whatever surface you are looking to put them onto!

You will LOVE these tools and find that you will use them as your "GO-TO" set for ALL of your crafting needs!  I know I Do!


In addition tonight I will be showing you another project I am working on that is FULL of FLOWERS! You will love it, or HER shall I SAY!!!!

The first project is a simple box topper.  I purchased a box of Russell Stover Candy, $1.50 at Target and then just "prettied it up a bit by adding a few beautiful flowers and a ribbon!  It's the little things that you add to a card or packaging that makes them so pretty to gift!  I will be showing you how to make these flowers tonight and you also will have an opportunity to purchase them here as well!
