Sweet Celebration Wishes

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a sweet and simple birthday card for my niece, who just turned five.  The stamps and dies are from My Favorite Things, 'Sweet Celebration'....I've had these for many months and just got the chance to use them.  The image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then watercolored with Stampin Up re-inkers since I do not own Copic markers.  Before popping up the image with foam tape, the background was sponged with baby blue.  I will be submitting this in the 'Clean and Simple Genius' category in the 2021 Card Design Superstar contest at MFT.....wish me luck!!  I would LOVE to win a shopping spree!!!

Thanks for visiting!!

Make the Days Count

Hi, everyone!  This week's Technique Lover's Challenge over at Splitcoast is 'Cutaway Corner'.  This was perfect to help me make a birthday card for my uncle which will be mailed tomorrow.  The stamps I used are from the 'Be Joyful' set by Divinity Designs LLC.  The image was stamped in Stazon directly onto the designer paper from the 'Weathered Wood' Paper Collection, then watercolored and highlighted with a white gel pen.  The same paper was used for the banner and word die.  Other items used: Slimline Lattice Embossing Folder, Family Names 3 Dies, Large Banners Dies, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Circles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer Dies.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Divinity Designs LLC September New Release

Hi, everyone!  Wow, August flew by and now it's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  This month's release is super fun and I'm having a blast creating with the new papers, dies, and stamps!  To see the entire new release and all of the designer samples, click HERE.

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

My first card was super fun to create....I'm in love with this designer paper pattern from the new 'Buzzing Gnomes' Paper/Die Duos pack.  The card base and layers were cut with the Accordion Fold with Layers Die set, then decorated with the pre-printed images from the Paper/Die Duos set.  The sentiments are from 'Bee Mine' stamp set; the word dies were cut with the 'Bee Happy' Dies.  The Belly Band Die set was used to hold the card shut; the 'Busy Bee' Die set was used to cut out the layered bee sections from black, yellow, and vellum. The sentiment on the belly band and the card were framed with the Scalloped Ovals and Ovals Dies. The gnome on the inside of the card is 'sitting' on a ledge cut with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies.

My next card features the new 'Be Joyful' stamp set which was stamped onto watercolor paper. The quail, chicks, and blue sky were water-colored. A white gel pen added markings to the feathers. The grass was sponged with the paper still in the die in order to keep the white frame.  The designer paper layers are from the 'Rustic Christmas' paper pad and the dies used are as follows: Double Stitched Pennant Flags and Pennant Flags (both re-sized to fit the sentiment); Double Stitched Rectangles, Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer.

My third project is a slimline design created with the new Lattice Slimline Embossing Folder, Bee Happy Dies, Buzzing Gnomes Paper/Die Duos, Slimline Pierced Frame, and Slimline Card Base. (Note: After embossing the lattice pattern on white, the de-bossed squares were sponged in light blue.)

Thanks so much for hanging out with us today!

Blessings,
