Heaven and Nature Sing

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Loretta aka lorettagrace.  I chose this beautiful card from her gallery to recreate. For my card, I used some new goodies from Divinity Designs LLC: Chickadee Calendar stamp set, Petite Plaids Slimline Paper Pad.  Additional items used: Flourishes Embossing Folder, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle, Sentiment Strips 2, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer.  The chickadee was stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto watercolor paper; the beak, feet, eyes, and red berries were colored with markers and sealed with a glaze pen before water-coloring the rest of the image.  Red glitter dots were used to coordinate with the image.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Bass

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Belk store.....I needed to create a masculine birthday card and I was drawn to this Bass wall art. Since my bass image was begging to be mounted on the wall, I created a plaque with a pattern from the Weathered Wood Paper Collection, cut with an Oval die then matted with black cardstock and a Double Stitched Ovals Die.  The images (from 'Great Catch' Stamp/Die Duos set) were stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto watercolor paper then water-colored and highlighted with markers and a clear glaze pen. The green layer was dry embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, then cut out with the Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, matted with a Rectangle Die and Matting Rectangle Die.  The Nephew dies are from Family Names 3. (Note: products mentioned are all from Divinity Designs LLC.)

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!

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast

Hi, everyone!  One of my great nieces is obsessed with red roses right now because of Beauty and the Beast, so I used what I had on hand to create a themed birthday card for her. This week's Sketch Challenge #801 over at Splitcoast provided the most perfect layout!  I began by stamping the triple rose image from the 'Rose' stamp set (retired) from Divinity Designs LLC, then fussy cut a single rose, an extra leaf, and an extra rose petal in order to balance the image.  The sentiment is from the 'Beauty' stamp set. The sentiment, background, and image panels were cut with the Pierced Rectangles Dies; the frame was cut with the 'Lavish Layers' Dies; the white mat was cut with the Matting Rectangle Die, the card base was cut with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies; the yellow panel was dry embossed with the 'Flourishes' embossing folder.  Red grosgrain ribbon was tied with a Bow Easy for the finishing touch.
