October New Release by Divinity Designs LLC

Hi, everyone! It's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC!!  This month we are focusing on Thanksgiving....my personal favorite holiday of the year!!  Check out all of the new goodies (and awesome samples) HERE!

Here are the new items featured in my three projects for today:

For my first card, I used the Lacey Square Frame Die set to cut a shaped card.  The designer paper layers under the rose gold metallic paper is from the Rustic Beauty Paper Pad.  The center of the Lacey Square Frame was cut out with a Double Stitched Circles Die.  On the top layer is the new (awesome) Give Thanks and Layer Die set, cut out of the rose gold and matted with more of the wood design from Rustic Beauty.  

My next card features the Turkey Time Dies (super fun to make!), the awesome Leaves Background Die (cut from copper metallic), and a sentiment from 'Happy Fall' Stamp/Die Duos from the September release.  The sentiment was cut with the Pennant Flags Dies and matted with the Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies set.  Also used was the Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, along with Foam Mounting Tape and Blending Brushes (for accenting the turkey.)

My third card for today is a slimline design, featuring the Give Thanks and Layer Dies and my fave pattern from the Thanksgiving Slimline Card Fronts pack.  Since I still  had my metallic cardstock folder out, I cut two red flowers with the Delightful Daisies Dies, to match the little flowers in the paper.  Also used was the Slimline Pierced Rectangles Dies, Slimline Rectangles Dies, Slimline Scalloped Rectangles Dies, and the Slimline Card Base.  The sentiment in the center was popped up with Foam Mounting Tape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Treats!

Hi, everyone!  I know, it's been a while since I've written a blog post.  Life stuff has kept me busy and though I have been creating most every day, blogging has been the last priority.  Today I would like to share a fun project which features a few of the September release items from Divinity Designs LLC.  The image and sentiment are from the 'Happy Fall' Stamp/Die Duos set, the paper is from the 'Autumn Plaid' Slimline Paper Pad, the treat holder was cut from the Festive Favors Dies set, the flower and leaves are also found in the Festive Favors set but they are also available in the Bitty Blossoms Dies set as well.  The sentiment was cut and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow for the October New Release from Divinity Designs LLC!!!

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a birthday card created for my niece, using the My Favorite Things Color Challenge, along with Sketch Challenge #912 from Splitcoast.  I combined the kitty image and sentiment from 'Housecats' with the Happy Birthday Circle Die and gingham paper which is now retired.  The image was stamped on watercolor paper with Stazon Jet Black, water-colored, then fussy cut (since I forgot to order the dies). The following dies from Divinity Designs LLC were also used: Pierced Rectangles, Scalloped Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

Divinity Designs LLC July New Release!

Hi, everyone! It's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  This time around we are in SUMMER MODE!!  Check out all of the new goodies HERE!

Below are the new items featured in my three projects for today:

My first card was super fun to make; it features the new Flip Flops Layering Combo Dies, Mini Slimline Pierced Frames Dies, a fun pattern from the Pretty Patterns 3 Paper Pad.  Other items used include the Inspiration Words Dies, Foam Mounting Tape, Sequins, and the Mini Slimline Card Base Die.  The flip flops, frame, and words were cut out of yellow, copper, and red foil cardstock to give them extra shine.....the camera does not capture the shimmer, unfortunately!

My second card features the Slimline Palm Leaves Embossing Folder, a fun pattern from the 'By The Shore' paper pad, sentiment from 'Happy Trails', the Happy Birthday and Layers Dies set, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, and Blending Brushes. The 'Happy' die created the cut-out to show the turquoise layer below.  A Blending Brush was used to lightly add kraft highlights to the embossed layer. Linen thread was added as a finishing touch.

My third project also featured the Palm Leaves Embossing Folder and Flip Flop Layering Combo Dies.  After embossing with white cardstock, two shades of green were sponged, then Inka Gold shimmer paste was burnished over the inked embossing.  The camera did not capture it well, but the raised areas of the background are golden.  Also featured in this card are the following dies: Bitty Blossoms, Ferns, Slimline Happy Birthday and Layers, Slimline Pierced Rectangles, Slimline Rectangles, and the Slimline Card Base.

Thanks for visiting with us today!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Wildlife Wonders.....this throw blanket reminded me of the 'Great Catch' Stamp/Die Duos set from Divinity Designs LLC.  When I opened the stamp case, I found that I had water-colored an image previously so this card went together really quickly.....yay!!  For the background scene, I used the following: Slimline Mountain Silhouette Dies, Slimline Curvy Slopes Dies, Grass Border Die, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer Dies, and a pattern from the Heavenly Skies Slimline Paper Pad.  The bass and lure were popped up with Foam Mounting Tape.
