Divinity Designs LLC August Design Team Challenge

Divinity Designs LLC August Design Team Color Combo Challenge

Hi, everyone!  It's time for round two of the Design Team Color Challenge, using three colors from the Fall Favorites Paper Pad.  For my card I chose polka dot prints and the coordinating solids from the paper pad, along with the following products:  'Happy' Stamp/Die Duos, Leaves Background stamp, Pennant Flags Dies, Leafy Edged Borders Dies, Sentiment Strips Dies, and Pierced Rectangles Dies.  The Leaves Background stamp was inked with three coordinating colors, stamped on white, then covered with a layer of vellum before die cutting.  Linen thread and chocolate pearls were added for finishing touches.

Flip Flap Barnyard

Hi, everyone!  I recently saw this tutorial on SplitcoastStampers.com for a Flip-Flap Card and I knew I wanted to give it a try, using the fun farm-themed goodies from Divinity Designs LLC. Here are the items used: Farm Friends Stamp/Die Duos, Barn Dies, Farm Fence Die, Clouds and Raindrops Dies, Grass Hill Die, Grass Lawn Die; on the inside is a scripture verse from the 'Farmer's Prayer' stamp set.   I had to adjust the measurements to fit my pieces, but it worked out great!  (A piece of advice: make sure you don't glue things permanently until you know everything works just right.)  For my lever arm, I used one of the 'Bookmarks Dies' to shape one end only of the strip.

Pull the lever and the barn door will open to reveal what's inside!  How fun is that?!

Letter Board Magnet Gift

Hi, everyone!  Today I'd like to share a fun refrigerator magnet I created for my brother-in-law's birthday, using the Letter Board Dies set from Divinity Designs.  They love to cruise as much as Hubs and me, so I made a magnet for him to place on the fridge next to his cruise count-down calendar!  I began by stamping the scene in Stazon Jet Black with the largest image from the 'Bon Voyage' stamp set; the sky was sponged, then the panel was cut out and embossed with the Letter Board Dies set.  The frame and letters were cut from black cardstock.  After the letters and frame were adhered to the scenic panel, a clear glaze pen was used to coat them.  I added an extra layer of cardboard on the back then cut a square from a magnet sheet, with adhesive backing, to line the backside of the piece.

Dare To Get Dirty - Day Two!!!!

Hi, everyone!  It's day two of Dare To Get Dirty week over at Splitcoast!!  My card today is for (my former Design Team Sister) Sandee's DTGD19stampersandeeA challenge. To see the challenge details, check out the Dare To Get Dirty Forum. If you'd like to become a Fan Club member, click on this Joining the Fan Club link. Regarding my card, I began with a Soft Suede card base then swiped vertical lines with the matching ink pad to create a 'faux wood' look. The Chicken Wire Background Die was cut from black cardstock and popped up with foam tape. To make it more rustic, the rooster and sentiments from 'Rise & Shine' were stamped onto designer paper instead of cardstock. The words to the sentiment were stamped in sections, using masking, onto small die cut sections cut with the Log Cabin Quilt Die; the image panel was cut out with the Circles Dies set and matted with the Double Stitched Circles Dies set.  The panels were all sponged heavily on the edges. The fastener legs of the brads were cut off, leaving the heads of the brads which were glued to the burlap layer.

My first card is a Z-fold with scenes on the front and back, so there are four photos in order to share all of the details.  The card base was cut from a 6 x 12 piece of cardstock with the new 'Z-Fold with Layers Dies' set. All of the adorable animals were stamped and cut with the 'Farm Friends' Stamp/Die Duos set (LOVE THESE!!); the barn and silo were cut from the 'Barn' Dies set; the fences were cut with the 'Farm Fence' Die; the three sentiment stamps are all from the 'Farmer's Prayer' set.  Additional dies used: 'Clouds and Raindrops', 'Grass Lawn', 'Squares', and 'Pierced Squares'.  The first photo shows the front of the card when it's closed up.

The next view shows the backside of the card.  An extra barn and silo were die cut and adhered carefully to mirror the front.  A tiny section of the roof line on the left was trimmed out so that the fold of the card wouldn't be too thick to close.

My next card features the 'Rise and Shine' stamp set, along with the new 'Chicken Wire Background' Die, 'Weathered Wood' Paper Collection, Double Stitched Circles Dies, Circles Dies, Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies, Pennant Flags Dies, and the buttons from the 'Sewing Set' Dies set.  The rooster was stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto watercolor paper and was colored with pencils....I liked the rough texture of it, so I didn't watercolor to blend the pencils.  The background was sponged, using masking. Two different sizes of burlap ribbon were added plus linen thread for the buttons, which were die cut then coated with a clear glaze pen.

My third card is a quick and easy card created with the goat stamp and die from the 'Farm Friend' Stamp/Die Duos set and a sentiment from the 'Hogs and Kisses' stamp set.  If you've been around goats, you will know that they can climb and balance on anything, so I thought it would be fun to have them stacked on top of one another!  Score lines were added for a little 'something' but no embellishments were added.
