Divinity Designs LLC September New Release!

Hi, everyone!  It's time to reveal the September New Release from Divinity Designs LLC!  This year has flown by and now we are gearing up for fall!  The new goodies this month are super fun....hope you enjoy them!  Check out all of the new products and gorgeous designer samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram!

 

My first sample features 'The Harvest' Stamp/Die Duo set and the following items: Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, Blending Brushes, and Foam Mounting Tape.  The gingham bow was tied with a Bow Easy tool.

Next up is a quick design where the gorgeous designer paper from 'Mosaic Pumpkins A2 Card Fronts' does most of the work.  I gravitated toward the blue tones in the paper and paired blue foil cardstock for the layers behind the sentiment and image panel.  The sentiment from Happy Thanksgiving 1 Stamp/Die Duo was stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto vellum, backed with an Adhesive Sheet.  Once cut with the layering die, the vellum was adhered to the designer paper and cut out again.  The sentiment panel was layered twice then popped up with Foam Mounting Tape. Other dies used: Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer.

For my third sample, I created a fun Slimline shaker card with three of the adorable scarecrows from the Scarecrow Season Paper Pad and a sentiment from 'The Harvest' Stamp/Die Duo set.  Other items used: Circles Dies, Scalloped Circles Dies, Slimline Card Base, Slimline Rounded Window Die, Foam Mounting Tape, and the Autumn Plaid Slimline Paper Pad.

 

Thanks for hanging out with us today!

Fall Birthday

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Fall Leaves'. My Mother-In-Law requested that her birthday card had fall colors and falling leaves, so I used another pattern from the Stained Glass Pumpkins Square Card Fronts paper pack from Divinity Designs LLC. I used Rose Gold and Light Blue Foil Cardstock to soften up the dark colors in the image panel. This was a very simple design....a few die cuts, some Foam Mounting Tape, and it was finished! The dies used are: Ornamental Square Die Set, Square Card Base with Layer, and Happy Birthday and Layers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Two Challenge Cards

Happy Friday, everyone!  I have two challenge cards to share today.  The Mixability Challenge over at Splitcoast is A Taste of Fall.  For my card, I chose a leafy pattern from the 'Follow the Son' Paper Pad from Divinity Designs LLC.  The rooster from 'Rise and Shine' was stamped in the center with Cajun Craze dye ink, then the sentiment was over-stamped with Stazon Timber Brown.  After coloring the feet and beak with a marker, a clear glaze pen was used to highlight them. Other items used for this card are as follows: Linen Thread, foam tape, sequins, and the following dies from Divinity Designs LLC: Basket Weave Square Background, Squares, Square Card Base with Layer, Double Stitched Circles, Bitty Blossoms.

My second card is for the Friday Free4All Challenge, 'Go To the Corner'. This is a card I made for a co-worker to give to his mother-in-law. All of the products used are from Divinity Designs LLC.  The flowers are from the Beautiful Blossoms 4 Paper/Die Duos set, the floral paper is from the Beautiful Blossoms Set 4 and 5 Coordinating Paper Pad. These are the dies used: Lattice Background, Pierced Ovals, Ovals, Family Names, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.  The satin ribbon was tied with a Bow Easy and foam tape was used to pop up the layers. 

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Have a blessed weekend!

Thankful and Grateful

Hi, everyone!  This week's Mix-ability Challenge over at Splitcoast is to incorporate metallics in your mixed media project.  For my card, I began creating the background with the Wrinkle Free Distress (or Smoosh) technique....dab several colors of ink pads onto a craft sheet, spritz with water, then 'dip' your cardstock into the puddle to soak in the colors.  Once dry, the panel was gold embossed with the Leaves Background by Divinity Designs LLC.  The sentiment panel was cut from the original WFD piece.  The sentiment from 'Bountiful Blessings' was gold embossed. The dies used for this card are also from Divinity Designs: Vintage Labels 2, Pierced Vintage Labels 2, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.  Blackberry Bliss ribbon, gold cording, and gold foil cardstock were also used to coordinate with the gold embossing powder and ink colors.

Autumn Covered Bridge

Hi, everyone! This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use something "taller than you".....for my card I used the Covered Bridge image (Blue Knight Stamps) which I recently picked up at a stamp show.  With the help of a Misti, the image was stamped multiple times with Stazon Jet Black to give complete covereage. (Larger images do not stamp well in the center).  The image was colored with sponges and markers.  Other items used for this card are as follows: Divinity Designs LLC Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, Rectangles Dies, Sentiment Strips 2 Dies, and the sentiment is from the 'Better Place' stamp set.

The small sentiment was cut and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies.

You Are My Sunshine

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from Beau-Coup....I chose this Fall Leaf Candy Dish photo. I chose a pattern from the ODBD 'Follow The Son' Paper Collection to match the (table top?) in the inspiration photo, along with the 'Be a Sunflower' set which fit perfect with the colors of the dishes.  The image was cut out with the ODBD Custom Sunflower Die.  The card base and designer paper were both cut out with the ODBD Custom Rounded Rectangles Dies (the designer paper was cut using the Die Re-sizing Technique to alter the width.) Due to the wrinkles in the leaves, I will also submit this to the 'Wrinkle In Time' Fan Club Central Theme this month. (Please note: the stamps, dies, and paper for this card will be available October 1st at Our Daily Bread designs.)

Thanks for stopping by today!  Come back tomorrow for the ODBD October New Release party!!

Seasons Change, God Remains!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways To Use It Challenge is to incorporate apples into your project since Johnny Appleseed's birthday was this week.  I was super excited when I discovered that Our Daily Bread designs new 'Seasons Change' image was the same scale as the 'Autumn Tree' set....woo hoo!!!  The tree was stamped onto a panel cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, then the grass was sponged over a scratch paper mask.  The clouds were sponged over a die cut cloud, cut with the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies set.  The wheelbarrow from 'Seasons Change' was stamped on a different piece of cardstock, then cut out with the ODBD Custom Wheelbarrow Die and popped up with foam tape over the rest of the scene, which was partially water-colored and partially colored with markers.

Thanks for visiting!

In Everything, Give Thanks

Hi, everyone!  This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast was perfect for inking up my new 'A-Maize-ing' stamp set by Our Daily Bread designs.  The image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black, cut out with the ODBD Custom Indian Corn Die, then I used a craft knife to cut out in between the bow strands.  Some linen thread was used under the Indian Corn to create the suggestion of a wreath.  The largest green panel was cut with the ODBD Custom Rectangles Dies, stamped with the ODBD 'Wood Background' stamp, edges sponged, then smaller rectangles layered to mimic a door.  Though the features of the door and wreath are not detailed, the suggestion of door panels is there.  I think I have fallen in love with this color combo and may create some Thanksgiving cards with the same color scheme.

Thanks for visiting with me!
