Divinity Designs LLC - January 2025 Blessings Box!

Hi, everyone! I am so excited to share the new Blessings Box from Divinity Designs LLC! If you are not familiar, the Blessings Box is a quarterly subscription which helps you save a lot of money! Check out all of the details HERE! There are two die sets, one amazing stamp set, two fabulous Bookmarks paper pads, plus three additional add-on Bookmark paper pads as well!  I had a blast creating samples with these and can't wait to create the next set of samples for the February post!
The following Bookmarks are coordinating add-on products:
My first sample today features the Double Diagonal Pockets Dies, the Cross Bookmarks Paper Pad, and the plain bookmark die from the Hummingbird Bookmarks Dies set.  The layered pocket panels were embossed with the Fish Embossing Folder.  I forgot to take a photo, but the underside of the bookmarks also have the navy embossed cardstock.  Other items used for this card: A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, Faith Cross Layering Combo Dies, and Foam Mounting Tape.
Next is a trio of bookmarks cut out of foil cardstock with the Hummingbird Bookmarks Dies set.  Adhesive sheets were added to the foil cardstock before die-cutting, which made it so easy to adhere to the background scenes from the Cross Bookmarks Paper Pad.
My next sample features the Spring Flowers Bookmarks Paper Pad, along with the Thinking of You and Layers Dies, the A2 Pierced Triple Window Die, Matting Rectangle, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer, and Foam Mounting Tape.
Here is another set of bookmarks created with the Bookmarks Scriptures stamp set, the Spring Flowers Bookmarks Paper Pad, and the Hummingbird Bookmarks Dies set.  The scriptures were heat embossed with Rose Gold Embossing Powder on white vellum and attached to the tulip bookmarks with adhesive sheets before cutting them with the die.  This photo is one of at least twenty tries.....very tough to photograph! :)
Last but not least is another card featuring the Double Diagonal Pockets Dies, the Hummingbird Bookmarks Paper Pad, Hummingbird Bookmarks Dies, along with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies set and the Happy Birthday with Layers Dies.  The Watercolor Paper Pad was used for the pocket layers since they coordinated with the bookmark colors so well!  Each bookmark has a scripture on the back.

Thanks for stopping by!

Divinity Designs LLC January New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to the new release party for January!!  This month's release is short but sweet!  Check out the products and awesome samples on the website HERE or on Instagram HERE!




My first sample features the fun Diamond Fold Card with Layers, the Heart Layering Combo 4 Dies, and two patterns from the Valentine Variety 6x6 Paper Pad.  I usually dread doing "fancy fold" cards but this one was pretty simple and was fun to decorate! The small hearts are from the Layering Hearts Dies.  Adhesive sheets were used for the layers of the large heart since using glue or adhesive would be difficult with the intricate design.  A blending brush was used with light mauve ink on the sentiment panels.



My second project features another fun pattern from the Valentine Variety Paper Pad, the top layer from the Layering Hearts Combo 4 Dies, the Gift Giving Goodie Bag Die set, Layering Hearts, and the Stitched Tag Set Dies.  The white heart was out with adhesive sheet backing and adhered to the acrylic sheet window. (The window was cut from the gift bag with the same die so that the white heart would inlay perfectly.)


Thanks for stopping by today!

Divinity Designs LLC - New Bird of the Month Series!

Hi, everyone!  I hope you enjoyed the Birthday Flowers of the Month series from Divinity Designs LLC last year!  There is a brand new monthly theme for 2025....Bird of the Month Club!!!  Check out how you can get yours HERE!  I love having more options for masculine cards and the Owl set for this month is perfect!  I know I will use this one a lot!!

For my first sample, I chose the pine cone designer paper from the Rustic Christmas Paper Pad since it coordinated with the image.  Here are the additional dies used: Pine Cones & Pine Branches, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.  The owl image was colored with markers and the eyes were coated with a clear glaze pen.

Next is a monochromatic, Mini-slimline design was quick and easy.  The image and sentiments were stamped with Stazon Navy Blue ink; the eyes were colored with a marker then sealed with a clear glaze pen.  Blending brushes were used to color the background.  The Mini Slimline Pierced Frame was popped up with Foam Mounting Tape over the card which was cut with the Mini Slimline Card Base.

For my third sample, the owl was stamped with Kraft ink, the sentiment, blended background, and baker's twine are all navy.  The frame was created by swiping a kraft ink pad across a piece of kraft cardstock, one of several "Faux Wood" techniques.  The panel was cut with the A2 Pierced Frames Dies and popped up with Foam Mounting Tape over a card base cut with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies set.


Thanks for visiting!!

Blessings,

Divinity Designs LLC - December Birthday Flower of the Month

Hi, everyone!  It's time to share the 12th Birthday Flower of the Month set from Divinity Designs LLC....this past year went fast!  This month's flower is the Narcissus. To find out more about the Birthday Flower of the Month sets, please click HERE.

Instead of making just a card with the December flower, I jumped in with both feet and created a 12x12 scrapbook layout using all twelve flowers!  Each of the flowers and sentiments were stamped on white vellum; the images were colored with markers on the reverse side, then attached to white cardstock using adhesive sheets, then cut out with the coordinating dies.  The header was created using Slimline Rectangles and Slimline Pierced Rectangles; each piece was "resized" in order to fit the letters perfectly.  The letters were cut with the Alphabet Caps Dies.  All of the pieces were popped up with Foam Mounting Tape.



Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
