Divinity Designs LLC April 2025 Blessings Box!

Hi, everyone!  The January Blessings Box was absolutely amazing and the team had a blast with it.  I didn't think it could get any better.....until Kelley revealed the April Blessings Box!!!!  What a fabulous welcome to spring!!!!  If you aren't familiar with the Blessings Box quarterly subscription, please check it out HERE.  You can see all of the beautiful designer samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram.  Enjoy!!

 

Here are some fantastic add-on products which can received with a discount if combined with the Blessings Box:

 

For my first sample, I chose one of my favorite papers from the Cottage Garden A2 Card Fronts paper pack and cut the bottom peony out with a circle die (to use for another card below).  The sentiment from Birthday Wishes was stamped onto white vellum and adhered to the white panel with an adhesive sheet. Other products used: Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Die set, and Foam Mounting Tape.

 

The peony image cut out from the previous card was used for this card. The scripture verse from Birthday Wishes was stamped on white vellum then adhered to the peony circle with an adhesive sheet; a Scalloped Circle Die was used for a mat.  For the background panel, a white panel was dry embossed with the Cross Stitch Embossing Folder, then green, yellow, and apricot inks were used with Blending Brushes.  The bottom layers of the Peony Dies were colored with Blending Brushes and the top layers, cut from apricot, were adhered using adhesive sheets. (Attach a piece of adhesive sheet to the back of the cardstock before die-cutting.  This saves the trouble of trying to glue the intricate die-cuts!)

 

Next up is a card created for my step-mom for Mother's Day.  Her favorite color is red, so this gorgeous designer paper from the Stained Glass Roses A2 Card Fronts pack was perfect! The Roses Dies were cut from red and gold foil cardstock to coordinate with the designer paper. The sentiment is from The Greatest Gift Stamp/Die Duo set; panels cut and matted with Ovals and Pierced Ovals Dies.

 

This next card was created for a great-niece for her birthday.  I chose a sentiment from Birthday Wishes and a pretty bookmark from the Shabby Chic Rose Bookmarks Paper Pad. One end of the bookmark was cut with the bottom end of the Hummingbird Bookmark Die, then cut the other end of the bookmark in order to create a panel instead of a bookmark.  Other items used: Fancy Fans Mixed Media Stencil, Blending Brushes, Butterfly Layering Combo 3, Mini Slimline Card Base, Mini Slimline Rectangles, Mini Slimline Scalloped Rectangles, Ovals Dies, Scalloped Ovals Dies.

 

Last but not least, an anniversary card created for my in-laws, featuring another gorgeous pattern from the Cottage Garden A2 Card Fronts Paper Pad and the most perfect scripture for them from Bookmark Scriptures 2.  I love to stamp onto vellum and adhere straight to the designer paper using an adhesive sheet; this allows a clear image with the stamp but it allows the beautiful paper to be seen as well.  The largest arch die from the Arches Shaker Set was cut and popped up with Foam Mounting Tape over the scripture.

Divinity Designs LLC April Birthday Bird of the Month

Hi, everyone! I hope you are enjoying the Bird of the Month Club so far.....the design team sure is having a blast creating samples for you!  Check out the Birthday Bird of the Month for April....the canary!!  I love that there are quite a few colors in the canary family.....the samples from the team are amazing!!  Check out all of the details for the Birthday Bird of the Month HERE! 

My first sample was a total blast to make!!  I looked online for color samples of canaries and saw that, just like other bird species, the males were more colorful than the females.  This gave me the idea to create a pair for my card sample.  The canaries were colored with markers and then the green was blended onto the male by using a blending brush and reverse mask which was cut from scratch paper. The background was cut with the Lattice Background Die and popped up with Foam Tape over the Matting Rectangle and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Die set.

My next sample looks florescent in the photo, however, the card base is simply a coral color.  This canary was colored with a Blending Brush, using red and poppy inks.  The designer paper is Artistic Outpost Vagabond Treasures Collection.  The little tag is from the Treat Tag Dies.

Divinity Designs LLC April New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Spring has finally sprung!! We have a fun, smaller release for April and we are having a blast using the products so far!  Check out all of the new goodies and beautiful samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram!

For my first sample, I have combined the adorable Sweet Treats Goodie Bag with part of the Blooming Bouquet Die set.  I found some malted milk balls in the Easter section at the grocery and thought they looked like Robin eggs, so I used the beautiful image from the Birthday Bird of the Month - March Stamp/Die Duo set. The gingham paper is from the Polka Dots and Gingham Slimline Paper Pad.

My next sample features the Lily & Frame Dies.  The top layer die was cut from gold foil cardstock (with an adhesive sheet on the back); the bottom layer was cut with white and colored with Blending Brushes.  I know, I know, the designer paper (from Spring Flowers 2 Slimline Paper Pad) has daffodils instead of lilies.....it began as an accident but I decided not to redo it because I like it!!  The sentiment is from Live by Faith and was stamped onto a vellum panel onto the designer paper.

When I first received the Blooming Bouquet Dies set, I noticed that two of the blooms were similar to the orange blossoms in this pattern from the Lemon Love Paper Pad, so I copied the color pattern in my die cut pieces.  For the vase, a piece of white cardstock was embossed with the Flourishes Embossing Folder, cut with the vase die, then light green ink was blended with a blending brush.  The sentiment is from the Thank You Stamp/Die Duos set.

Thanks for visiting today!

Blessings,
