Recycled Calendar = Quick Cards

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share several quick cards which were created with a recycled wall calendar.  Each year I choose calendars with the following credentials: I love to look at them each day and I know I will be able to make cool cards with them after they are finished!  I also love that the pages are more sturdy than designer paper.  Since the pages are slick, I always use Stazon permanent ink so that they do not smudge. All of the dies used are from Divinity Designs LLC; most of the stamps are from Divinity Designs; a few are from Altenew.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Flower of the Month - July - Larkspur

Hi, everyone!  It's time to reveal this month's birthday flower, the Larkspur!  In case you were not aware, Divinity Designs LLC has a monthly subscription plan for the Birthday Flower of the Month.....check out the details HERE!  I have been enjoying these Stamp/Die Duo sets so much, especially the flowers which come in many different colors! I also LOVE that there are dies for the sentiments!!

For my first sample, the flowers were partially water-colored and the stems were colored with markers.  Here are the other items used for this card: Paper: Floral Favorites; Dies: Floral Corners Background, Matting Rectangle, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer; Misc: Adhesive Sheets, Foam Mounting Tape, Blending Brush. (An adhesive sheet was added to the blue foil cardstock before cutting out the background die. This takes out the tedious job of trying to add glue to the intricate dies.)

For my second sample, the same coloring method was used.  Here are the additional items used for this card: Paper: Polka Dots & Gingham Slimline; Dies: A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, Matting Rectangle, Circle Scalloped Rectangles; Misc: Foam Mounting Tape, Blending Brush.

Divinity Designs LLC July New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Wow, I cannot believe it's July already!!!  It's time for some summer fun with the new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  Owners Kelley and Rick have their own Highland Cows and these new stamps and dies are based on them!  See the entire new release and awesome samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram.

My first sample for today was super fun to make. As usual, I do not initially look forward to creating 'fancy fold' designs, however, this was one of the simplest! The first photo is the front of the card when closed. The second photo is the inside view which shows the fun folds.  Here is the product list used for this card: 

Stamp/Die Duo: Highland Herd

Paper: Follow the Son 6x6

Dies: Center Pop Out with Layers, Highland Cow, Pierced Squares, Pierced Ovals, Ovals, Matting Rectangle

Misc: Blending Brushes, Foam Mounting Tape

My next sample features the adorable 'Cow Babies' Stamp/Die Duo set, along with a scene from the Majestic Mountains Slimline Card Fronts, and the following dies: Mini Slimline Card Base, Mini Slimline Pierced Windows, Sentiment Strips 2, Farm Fence, and Grass Lawn.  The images were stamped with Stazon Jet Black, then water-colored.

It's Raining Daisies!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways To Use It theme over at Splitcoast is "Don't Fence Me In"......my card features one of my all-time favorite dies from Divinity Designs LLC, the Fence Die.

Yellow baker's twine was used to coordinate with the daisies.

New Inspiration for Blessings Box Subscription

Hi, everyone!  Today I am sharing two more samples which feature items from the April Blessings Box from Divinity Designs LLC.  Check out the details of this quarterly subscription HERE.

My first sample began by coloring two white panels with blending brushes.  One was die cut with the Raindrops Background then popped up with Foam Mounting Tape over the 2nd colored panel.  The image from Rain or Shine was stamped on white; the flowers were colores with markers and the boots were colored with a blending brush using a reverse mask cut from scratch paper. White gel pen was added to the boots.

My second sample features one of the sentiments from Rain or Shine and the following dies: Park Silhouettes, Grass Lawn, Cloud Borders, Cowboy & Cactus Silhouettes (sun).  The background panel was colored the same way as my first card, with Blending Brushes.  Before die-cutting the bench, the black cardstock was layered with an adhesive sheet since this is a tough one to glue.

Thanks for stopping by!
