The Desert Shall Rejoice

Hi, everyone!  This week's Color Challenge 789 over at Splitcoast is perfect to show off one of the cool papers from the new Landscapes Paper Pad at Divinity Designs LLC. I chose this gorgeous sunset paper, cut it out with the largest of the Pierced Rectangles Dies set, then added stamps and dies from the April Blessings Box subscription from Divinity Designs LLC. Other dies used are: A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer and Matting Rectangle Die.

Here is the April Blessings Box bundle.....check out the details HERE.

Happy Fishy Wishes

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Unsplash.......I fell in love with the colors of this Blue Fluid Painting and created a Wrinkle Free Distress (or 'Smoosh') panel using turquoise and lime...I ended up with more lime than blue, but it's all good!  The stamps, 'Happy Day Mermaids' from Your Next Stamp, are some I won during the 2018 DTGD challenges....perfect to make a birthday card for my niece who is obsessed with mermaids right now.  The WFD panel was cut out with a Pierced Rectangle Die and the sentiment panel was cut with the Pennant Flags Dies, both die sets are from Divinity Designs LLC.  Some coral baker's twine was added to pull the other coral elements together.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Divinity Designs LLC April New Release Reminder

Hi, everyone!  Today we are revisiting the April release from Divinity Designs LLC.....check out all of the gorgeous designer samples plus see the entire release HERE.  I have combined the new Twist and Pop with Layers Dies set with some of my fave DD products:  Stamps: Armor of God Stamp/Die Duos and Full Armor; Americana Quilt Paper Collection; Custom Dies: A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, Double Stitched Rectangles, Double Stitched Pennant Flags, Pennant Flags, Ornamental Crosses, Double Stitched Squares, and Squares.

This is the front view of the card.  The knight was stamped, cut out with the custom die, colored with markers and popped up with foam tape.  I chose this pattern paper since I've always thought it looked like tiny shields.

This is the inside of the Twist and Pop card which features the same items as the front view.  To give a more rustic feel, the small character sentiments were stamped on white, then the edges were torn and sponged with gray.

Floral Heart Thanks

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Tags Pinterest Board.....I fell in love with the soft, dreamy colors of this tag.  For my card, I began by embossing the Floral Heart image (from Simon Says Stamp) with silver embossing powder on white cardstock, fussy cut the image, then sponged lavender ink on the edges and on some of the flowers.  The sentiment was done the same way.  Both were popped up with foam tape over a panel which was dry embossed (not visible....the camera would not capture both the silver and the background!) and cut out with a Pierced Rectangle Die from Divinity Designs LLC.  A baker's twine bow was added for the finishing touch.

Divinity Designs LLC April New Release

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to the April new release party for Divinity Designs LLC!  With the struggles that we are facing across the globe right now, our faith needs to be stronger than ever.  The message of faith in this month's new release is right on time for so many who are either struggling or know someone who needs some Good News.  To see the entire new release, more designer samples, and info on how to win some goodies, click HERE.

The products used in my two cards for today are listed below:

My first card was created with the new Twist and Pop with Layers Dies set.  I am usually intimidated by any fancy fold, however, this one is very easy!  You start out with an A2 card (cut out with the A2 Card Base with Layer Dies) and used the dies in the set to cut out the twist and pop elements and layers.  There are instructions included which make it simple!  I have also used the following items to decorate the card:  Great Faith Stamp/Die Duos (hibiscus flowers and sentiments/scriptures); new Delicate Doily Die (two shown layered); By The Shore Paper Collection; Large Banners Dies; Pierced Circles Dies; Pierced Squares Dies; and Sentiment Strips Dies.

The photo below is the inside view. The three sentiments on the pop-up panel are from the stamp in the set which reads, "Faith, Hope, Love".  I cut each word out separately with the Sentiment Strips Dies.  All of the designer paper shown, inside and out, is from the By The Shore Paper Collection.

For my next card, I used the large hibiscus image from the Great Faith Stamp/Die Duos set, along with the following items: Family Names 1 Dies ("God" and "Great"); Alphabet Flags Dies (for the word "IS"); Flourishes Embossing Folder; Pierced Rectangles Dies; Scalloped Rectangles Dies; and the tiny hearts from the Clouds and Raindrops Dies.

Thanks for spending time with us today!
