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!

Divinity Designs LLC June New Release!

Hi, everyone! It's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC! To see the entire new release plus more amazing samples, visit the website HERE or Instagram HERE.

My first sample features the Mini Slimline Double Display Die set; I have to be honest....I was not looking forward to using this die set since it looked complicated, however, it was super easy!  The card base was cut from white cardstock and the layers were cut from a pattern from the Floral Favorites Slimline Paper Pad.  I didn't take a "closed" photo, but the Mr. and Mrs. with Layers Dies covers the front of the card when it's closed.  Inside is a pocket cut from Rose Gold Foil cardstock with the Gift Card Pockets and Layers Dies; the layer was cut from white, shaded with pink ink and a Blending Brush, then stamped with the stamp set.  The tiny hearts are from the Clouds and Raindrops Dies set. A matching envelope was also created, using the Mini Slimline Envelope Die.  The same papers and dies were used to decorate the envelope, inside and out.

My next sample features a gorgeous pattern from the Majestic Mountains Slimline Card Fronts, the Floral Corners Background Die, plus a sentiment from the Sending Sunshine Stamp/Duo set. Since the background die is so intricate, I knew that adding it with glue would be a challenge, so an Adhesive Sheet was placed onto the eggplant cardstock before die-cutting. A Blending Brush was used to add yellow ink to the sentiment panel while it was still inside the die so that the white border would remain.  Sparkly purple gems were added for a finishing touch. Other dies used: Matting Rectangle and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer.

I saved my fave for last. This is a card I created for my hubby for our Anniversary! The Majestic Mountains paper pad was absolutely perfect for the Eclipse Technique!  I used the Long and Lean Letters Dies to cut the letters from the scene, then cut three more layers each from the green cardstock in order to give the dimension.  The sentiment is from the Koala Bears Stamp/Die Duos set.  Other dies used: Sentiment Strips 2, Slimline Thin Pierced Frame, and Slimline Card Base.

Thanks for visiting!

Faith Mountain

Hi, everyone!  This week's Color Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use Pebbled Path, Lost Lagoon, and Wild Wheat.....I do not have these SU colors yet but since I keep all of the retired colors from the past I can always find something similar. I began by choosing sage cardstock for the mountain and card base, then a cool pattern from the Heavenly Skies Slimline Paper Pad.  The sky and the center layer of the mountain was cut from the same piece of dsp. Before adhering the layers of the mountain, the sentiment from 'Move Mountains' was stamped onto the sage layer.  The Get Well sentiment was sponged with three colors to match the dsp, in a gradient fashion. Here are the dies used for this card, all from Divinity Designs LLC: Slimline Mountain Silhouettes, Cowboy and Cactus Silhouettes (birds), Slimline Card Base, Slimline Pierced Rectangles (and Pierced Layering Rectangles), Get Well Soon and Layers.

Tropical Sunset

Hi, everyone!  Right now it's a whole 3 degrees outside, so I'm going tropical!  This week's Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Puzzle Warehouse.....this gorgeous tropical scene reminded me of last year's wall calendar which I disassembled for re-purposing into cards. In order to capture the full scene, I had to make it slimline sized. The dies I used are from Divinity Designs LLC: Slimline Pierced Rectangles, Slimline Card Base, and Sentiment Strips.  The sentiment is from MFT.

Divinity Designs LLC July New Release!

Hi, everyone! It's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  This time around we are in SUMMER MODE!!  Check out all of the new goodies HERE!

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

My first card was super fun to make; it features the new Flip Flops Layering Combo Dies, Mini Slimline Pierced Frames Dies, a fun pattern from the Pretty Patterns 3 Paper Pad.  Other items used include the Inspiration Words Dies, Foam Mounting Tape, Sequins, and the Mini Slimline Card Base Die.  The flip flops, frame, and words were cut out of yellow, copper, and red foil cardstock to give them extra shine.....the camera does not capture the shimmer, unfortunately!

My second card features the Slimline Palm Leaves Embossing Folder, a fun pattern from the 'By The Shore' paper pad, sentiment from 'Happy Trails', the Happy Birthday and Layers Dies set, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, and Blending Brushes. The 'Happy' die created the cut-out to show the turquoise layer below.  A Blending Brush was used to lightly add kraft highlights to the embossed layer. Linen thread was added as a finishing touch.

My third project also featured the Palm Leaves Embossing Folder and Flip Flop Layering Combo Dies.  After embossing with white cardstock, two shades of green were sponged, then Inka Gold shimmer paste was burnished over the inked embossing.  The camera did not capture it well, but the raised areas of the background are golden.  Also featured in this card are the following dies: Bitty Blossoms, Ferns, Slimline Happy Birthday and Layers, Slimline Pierced Rectangles, Slimline Rectangles, and the Slimline Card Base.

Thanks for visiting with us today!

#1 Dad

Hi, everyone!  This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is 'All About Dad'.....I'm cheating a bit since I made this card last year but never posted it anywhere.  I began with kraft cardstock, stenciled with brown, navy, and green inks with Blending Brushes over the 'Diamonds' Stencil from Divinity Designs LLC.  The letters from the 'Large Alphabet' Dies were used to cut out 'DAD', then popped up with Foam Mounting Tape, a bit offset so the navy mat showed underneath.  Other dies used are: Alphabet Caps, Sparkling Stars, Slimline Rectangles, Slimline Pierced Rectangles, Slimline Card Base.
