Kick Up Your Heels!

 

Hi, everyone!  Just today I received my shipment of cardstock from Stampin Up and this adorable stamp set, Zany Zebras, was my free item of choice!  I just had to use it for this week's Sketch Challenge at Splitcoast! The images were fussy cut and popped up with foam tape; the misc polka dot paper and cardstock were pieced together and then cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die from Divinity Designs LLC.  The strip down the middle was cut using a Scalloped Rectangle Die and the same Pierced Rectangle Die.  The sentiment was cut out and matted with the Pennant Flags Dies and Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.  To coordinate with the scalloped strip, the main panel was matted with the Scalloped Rectangles Dies and Matting Rectangle, layered onto the card which was cut with the A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer Dies.  This card is for my niece's birthday this week, hence the pink hats and pink baker's twine.


Thanks for stopping by!!

Celebrate Your Blessings

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways to Use It Challenge over at Splitcoast is 'Lots of Dots'....though my card is not polka-dotted, my designer paper has lots of dots on the flowers and background.  For quilt cards, I always use my Xyron Sticker Maker....cut a piece of cardstock to the size of the quilt die frame, create a sticker out of it, add the die cut frame first and then insert the pieces.....no messy glue...easy!!  Here are the items from Divinity Designs LLC which were used for this card:

Stamps: Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duos and Let's Celebrate
Paper: Stoneware Paper Pad
Dies: Floating Frame Front (for the sentiment), A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer, Matting Rectangle, Quilted Background

Some pretty irridescent blue sequins were added to coordinate with the paper and blue flower.



Thanks for visiting with me!

Warm Winter Wishes

 

Hi, everyone!  We have another fun Sketch Challenge for you this week over at Splitcoast!!  For my sample, I have used the 'Snowman and Friends' set by Divinity Designs LLC, along with the following items: Rustic Christmas Slimline Paper Pad and custom dies: Pierced Circles, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, Icicle Border and Treat Tags.  I took a piece of wide burlap ribbon, cut the stitching off of both sides, then cut it in half length-wise.  (Call me silly, but I enjoy pulling the outer strings to cause the frayed edges!) Some irridescent white sequins and Stickles were added for a little sparkle.


Thanks for stopping by today!

Seek Me With All Your Heart


Hi, everyone! For this week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast, we get 'imaginary' bonus points for creating a pocket card.....I haven't made one of these in over a decade!!!  For my sample, the card base is an upside down A2 card, with a flap scored and folded down for the front.  Only the edges are adhered inside so that you can insert the inner panel/tag.  For my card, I used the Birch Background Die from Divinity Designs LLC, cut it down to size with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, then used a paper cutter to separate the pieces for the front and the folded flap.  A white gel pen highlighted all of the embossed parts which are usually stenciled with ink. It took a while to color them all, but I like how it turned out.  For the small sentiment on the front and the inside tag, I used the 'Seek Me' set.  Other dies used: Pierced Circles, Circles, Large Banners, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer. Another white banner panel was adhered to the back of the tag for a birthday sentiment and personal message.


Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Anniversary Fireworks!

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use a silhouette on your project.  My card today was created for my in-laws' anniversary, using some goodies from Divinity Designs LLC.  The eggplant frame was cut out with the Pierced Frames Dies; the sentiment from 'Lovely Day' was cut out with the Sentiment Strips with Layers Dies.  The silhouettes were cut with the Park Silhouettes Dies (coated with a clear glaze pen and glitter pen on the light.) The cool fireworks designer paper is from the Landscapes Paper Pad.

Woohoo, It's Your Birthday!


Hi, everyone!  This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast could be interpreted many different ways.  I chose to cut out a window from the front of my card with the Floating Frame Front Dies set by Divinity Designs LLC.  The fun balloons and sentiments are from 'Wonky Wishes' which was part of the July Blessings Box (subscription).  Some of the balloons were sponged and others were paper-pieced with the same designer paper from the Geometric (6x9) Paper Pad.  On the inside, I used several of the sentiment stamps to create the message.  The sentiment on the front was cut out and matted with the Sentiment Strips with Layers Dies (from the April Blessings Box.) Yellow sequins were added here and there to bring out the yellow and orange tones in the paper.  Additional dies: Matting Rectangle and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

This is a close up of the inside panel (cut out with the Double Stitched Rectangles Dies.)

Divinity Designs LLC November New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Wow, it's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  Seems like just yesterday is was summer and now we're working on winter projects!!  To see all of the beautiful new stamps and dies, plus some amazing designer samples, visit the Divinity Designs LLC Blog.

Below are the new items I have featured in my card samples for today:


My first card is a shaker card created with the new Snowman and Friends Stamp/Die Duos set, along with the Serenity Snowflakes Slimline Paper Pad, and the following dies: Snow Globe, Christmas Dove (snowflakes), Scalloped Rectangles, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, Scalloped Ovals, Pierced Ovals, and Ovals. The snow globe was cut from silver mirror paper; the outer edge of the die cut was used to trace onto the designer paper on which the snowman was stamped.  This created the backing for the shaker.  The snow inside is white Flower Soft sprinkles.

My second card features the new Birch Background Die, along with the 'All is Calm' Stamp/Die Duos set which was released last month. The Birch BG Die is the same size as the largest die in the Pierced Rectangles Dies set, so I cut a white panel, sponged yellow in the center and navy around the edges. The birch panel was cut with white, stenciled with gray, then popped up with foam tape over the sponged panel; the navy mat was cut with the Matting Rectangle Die and the gray card was cut with the A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer Dies set. The Large Banners Dies set was used for the sentiment, also sponged with yellow. The fawn was water-colored; the foliage and pinecones were colored with markers. Navy baker's twine was used as a finishing touch.
Thanks so much for hanging out with us today!
