Divinity Designs LLC Special Occasion of the Month - St. Patrick's Day!

Hi, everyone!  It's time for the next release in the Special Occasion of the Month series by Divinity Designs LLC.  If you'd like to save a little money, check out the subscription details HERE!  This month's occasion set is St. Patrick's Day.....the girls have made some awesome, creative samples....check them out HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram!  Kelley also released a fun new paper pad to coordinate with this set!  Enjoy!

My first sample features my favorite designer paper pattern from the Shamrock Greenery A2 Card Fronts, along with the St. Patrick's Day clear stamps and the following dies: Quilted Background, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, Double Stitched Circles, Circles, Clouds and Raindrops, Pine Branches. I used four tiny hearts from the Clouds and Raindrops Dies and a snip from the Pine Branches Die to create each die-cut shamrock.

 

My next sample was a bit challenging but fun.  The sentiment was stamped onto the designer paper from the Shamrock Greenery A2 Card Fronts, die cut with the Slatted and Eclipse - Square Dies.  Here are the steps in order for assembling the pieces:  1. Cut and emboss the designer paper panel with a Pierced Rectangles Die.  2. Stamp the sentiment. 3. Cut with the Slatted and Eclipse Square Dies. 4. Adhere the full panel (minus the square cut-out) to the ivory mat. 5. Apply thin strips of Scor-Tape onto the cut-outs while the paper is still inside the die.  6. Carefully peel off the outer layer of the Scor-Tape so that the strips stay in the die. 7. Line up the entire square back into the designer paper. 8. Press the strips to the ivory mat.  9. Lift the dies and remove the top frame. 10. Add Foam Mounting Tape to the top designer paper frame. 11.  Carefully line up the frame over the strips and adhere.  Whew!  When using designer paper only with the new slatted dies, I use the same method, but you don't have to be quite so picky matching up the design!  To finish the card, black baker's twine was added, along with hearts cut with the Layering Hearts Dies.

Thanks for hanging out with me today!
