Divinity Designs LLC April New Release!

Hi, everyone!  This month's new release from Divinity Designs LLC is all about LOVE!! Check out all of the new stamps, dies, paper, and many AMAZING samples HERE!

Below are the new items featured in my post today.  For previously released items, please click on the links in each paragraph.

My first card features the new 'Love Birds' stamp set (LOVE this set so much!),  along with the Gatefold Card with Layers Dies, Wedding Flowers Paper Pad, Pierced Wedding Ring Background Die, Belly Band Dies, Scalloped Circles Dies, Pierced Circles Dies, Circles Dies, Clouds and Raindrops Dies (tiny hearts), Scalloped Rectangles Dies, Pierced Rectangles Dies, and Blending Brushes.  The birds were stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto Watercolor paper; the images were water-colored and while the panel was still in the die, pink ink was brushed on to create a soft background.

For my next card, I used the Pierced Wedding Ring Background Die, Mr. and Mrs. with Layers Dies, Wedding Flowers Paper Pad, Layering Hearts Dies, Clouds and Raindrops Dies, Mini Stitched Shaker Charms Dies, Pixie Gems, Foam Mounting Tape, and Blending Brushes.  The inside panel below features the same pattern from the Wedding Flowers Paper Pad, the Faith Hope Love stamp, along with the Pierced Rectangles Dies and Matting Rectangle; the card was cut with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.

My third card features the Lovebirds set (this time colored accurately!), along with a fun tropical pattern from the Cool and Casual Paper Pad, and the following dies: Ferns, Scalloped Rectangles, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, Scalloped Circles, Pierced Circles, Circles, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.  Blending Brushes were used to color the sentiment panel and Foam Mounting Tape was used to give dimension to the image and sentiment panels.  The image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto watercolor paper; I looked at a photo while water-coloring the Lovebirds so that I could get the colors right! I LOVE how it turned out and may have to make another card for  myself!!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

ODBD Blog....let us know that you have finished!

Here are the new stamps and dies featured in my post for today, for my two new projects and sneak peeks which I shared earlier in the week:

My first sample is an 8 x 8 scrapbook page which features a sentiment from Life is Better, the image from Anchor the Soul, along with the following items from the July release: Pennant Swag Alphabet (small letters), the Pennant Alphabet (larger letters), and the ODBD Custom Pennants Die Set. The photos are from a cruise on which my hubby and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary back in May (if you look close, you can see the cruise ship in the background.)

My next project is a card I made using the Ocean Treasures set.  The sand dollar was stamped in black onto kraft cardstock, sponged with blush ink, highlighted with a white chalk marker, then the whole thing was clear embossed.  The white panel behind the sand dollar was stamped with the same image, but in blush ink.....this looks really pretty in the real, but the light ink was camera shy.

Here are some sneak peeks which I shared on my blog and in my Splitcoast and ODBD galleries this week:
(Put your cursor over each photo to see which stamps were used; click on each photo if you'd like a closer view.)

Thanks so much for hanging out with me and my Sistah Sticks today!!

These are the products I have featured for my sample projects below, a combination of new and previous releases:

My first project is a framed photo of our son who would have turned 21 in March.  The moment I saw the new ODBD Custom Angel Wings die set, I knew that I had to use them with this cherished photo.  The wings were cut from white shimmer paper and were highlighted with a glitter pen. The light blue frame was cut with the ODBD Custom Vintage Flourish Pattern Die, layered with the ODBD Custom Vintage Labels Die set (the photo, its mat, plus the sentiment panel). The sentiment is from "Carried To Heaven".

Next up is a fun card which I cut out with the ODBD Custom Apron and Tools Die Set.  The hand-cut morning glories and sentiment are from the new "Glory" set, and the two designer papers are from the yummy new "Rustic Beauty" designer paper collection.

The next two cards were shared earlier this week as sneak peeks.  The first features the Holy Angels set and the 2nd shows off more of the "Rustic Beauty" designer paper and Sentiments Collection 2.

Thanks for spending time with us today! Hope you have enjoyed the new products and team samples!!

God bless!

Here are the stamps and custom dies I used for the projects below:

Apothecary Bottles; Apothecary Bottle Custom Die Set

Joy in a Jar; Antique Labels and Border Die Set

Canning Jars; Canning Jars Custom Die Set

Canning Jar Fillers 2; Lavender

My first sample for today's release features the Apothecary Bottles set, the Joy in a Jar set (label/sentiment), the ODBD Custom Apothecary Bottles Die Set, the ODBD Ornate Border and Corners Die Set (corner piece), the ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage Die Set, and the ODBD Custom Antique Labels and Border Die Set (cut out the jar label and the panel behind the bottle.)  The bottle and label were stamped onto vellum and colored using sponge daubers and coral colored ink.

My second sample features the Lavender stamp set, along with the ODBD Quatrefoil Pattern Die.  The lavender sprig was "fussy cut" with fine scissors and a craft knife, colored with markers, then adhered over the Quatrefoil Pattern background, which was popped up with tiny pieces of foam tape in order to give it dimension against the purple card.  The white sentiment panel was cut out with ODBD Custom Ornate Borders and Flower Die Set; the purple mat for the sentiment was cut by hand after tracing the outline of the same die.

In case you missed them earlier in the week, here are a couple of sneak peeks I shared, using the new stamps and dies shown above:

(Hint: I do not have the set, Canning Jar Fillers 1, which includes a jellybean image, so I used the regular bean image from Canning Jar Fillers 2 and colored them to mimic jellybeans!)

Thanks for hanging out with us today!  Hope you enjoyed all of the beautiful new stamps and dies!!

Wishing a happy and blessed New Year for all of you!!!  Mwaaah!!!
