Divinity Designs LLC October New Release!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the New Release party for Divinity Designs LLC! Below are just a few of the MANY new goodies from the New Release which I have used in my samples for today. To see them all, please visit the store HERE!

For my first sample, I used blue foil cardstock, white shimmer paper, and silver metallic cardstock to make it as ICY as possible!!  The new Snowflake Layering Combo 2 Dies are so fun!!  I love that you can use as few or as many layers as you want....I only used five of the six.  On the bottom background layer, you can see a hint of a pattern from the Watercolor Winter Slimline Paper Pad....I chose it for the blue tones. The Square Card Base with Layer Die set was used for the card base and the sentiment from the Penguins Stamp/Die Duos set was layered onto a Pierced Circle and Circle for a mat.  A Blending Brush added light blue ink to the panel. Foam Mounting Tape was used for each layer to give dimension.

My second card design was in my mind the moment I saw these awesome Stained Glass Pumpkins Square Card Fronts!  I didn't want to waste any of the scene, so I used three Square Dies to cut apart the scene, lined the edges with a gold pen, then popped them up with Foam Mounting Tape onto a card base cut with the Square Card Base with Layer Die set. The largest panel has one layer of foam tape, the 2nd has 2 and the center has 3 layers.  I chose the Thank You with Layers Dies for the sentiment with gold foil and copper foil cardstock. Three gold brads were added as a simple embellishment.

Thanks for visiting!

Let It Snow!!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Chapters Indigo.....I love the copper, gold, and pearl metallic ornaments in this photo.  I used the same colors to create this layered snowflake.  Here are the items from Divinity Designs LLC used in my Mini-slimline card:  Penguins Stamp/Die Duos (sentiment), designer paper is from the Sparkling Snowflakes Paper Pad, Pixie Gems, Foam Mounting Tape and the following dies:  Snowflake Layering Combo, Snow Crystals (small snowflakes), Vintage Labels 2, Pierced Vintage Labels 2, Mini Slimline Thin Pierced Frame, Mini Slimline Card Base. The letters in the sentiment are 'hollow' so I colored them with a rust marker and then coated them with a clear glaze pen.

Sparkle!

Hi, everyone! For this week's Sketch Challenge over at SplitcoastStampers, I used the new Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp/Die Duos from Divinity Designs LLC.  This card is for my niece's birthday....she is a Christmas baby, so snowflakes and hot pink are perfect!!  The snowflakes were white embossed on white, then sponged in shades of pink which match the designer paper from the Christmas Collection 2020.  The sentiment was die cut from the Letter Board Dies set.  Three strands of white satin ribbon were added, along with white Stickles on the letters, snowflakes, and all of the sparkle images on the background. Additional dies used were the Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Divinity Designs LLC November New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to the November New Release party for Divinity Designs LLC!!  This release is full of winter cheer for sure!!  To see the entire new release, gorgeous samples, plus info on how to win some goodies, check out THIS POST.

Here are the items featured in my card sample below:

For my sample, I have created a fancy fold design with the following products: Keep Christ stamp set, Christmas Paper Collection 2019, and these custom dies: Four Panel Card with Layers, Christmas Dove, Letter Board, Scalloped Rectangles, and Pierced Rectangles.  The card base was cut from a 12x5-1/4 piece of white cardstock; the pretty layers were and colorful mats were cut from the new paper collection; the dove and snowflakes were cut from the Christmas Dove Dies set; the letters were cut with the Letter Board Dies set; stickles were used to highlight the dove, snowflakes, and designer paper layers.  The scripture stamps were both inked with teal, 'stamped off' onto scratch paper, then inked with lavender before stamping.  This created a blended coloring which matched the colors of the designer paper.

This is the 'open' view. (Note: Though I did not take a photo, the two center panels on the back were also layered with designer paper for a completed look in case the card would be displayed.)

Thanks for hanging out with us today!

Assembly Line Snowflake Cards

Hi, everyone! Today I would like to share a group of Happy New Year cards stamped with various sizes and colors of snowflakes (from the 'Sparkling Snowflakes' retired set), plus a card featuring a panel created by 'stamping off' the snowflakes and then used for this week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast.  When I began stamping the stack of cards, my scratch paper underneath began transforming into a gorgeous collage, so I grabbed a piece of white cardstock to use for stamping off instead. I used the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Squares Dies to cut out the snowflake collage panel, plus two square frames for the sketch.  The sentiment from 'Snowflake Sentiments' was stamped then cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, using the Die Resizing Technique so that the panel would fit the sentiment perfectly. (See the Die Resizing Tutorial in this post.)  Clear gemstones were added to the snowflake centers.  Stickles were added to the snowflake centers on the 'assembly line' cards. The sentiment on the group of cards is from 'Snowy Blessings'.

Snowflake Hugs Times Two!

Hi, everyone! This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Victoria aka Hawaiian....congrats, Victoria! When I saw this gorgeous card in Victoria's gallery, it looked like something I could try to recreate with Alcohol Inks and Lift Ink. I began by covering a piece of Yupo paper with pink, purple, and teal alcohol inks.  The sentiment and snowflakes from the SU set 'Beautiful Blizzard' were then inked with Alcohol Lift Ink, stamped onto the Yupo panel and then stamped onto a piece of white cardstock.  (Lifting and stamping the snowflakes was not difficult, however, the stamp has to be cleaned each time.)  Once the two panels were finished, they were trimmed, matted, then the cards were finished with Dazzling Diamonds glitter glue (which did not show up in the photographs...grrr!).

This week's Clean and Simple Challenge is 'December Birthdays'.  The card below, with the  snowflakes and sentiment lifted from the alcohol ink panel in the card above, fits this challenge perfectly.  Both my sister-in-law and her daughter are Christmas babies, so snowflakes are perfect without being 'Christmas-y'.

Thanks for stopping by!

January Calendar - Colorful Snowflakes

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from Balsam Hill....I loved the gorgeous colors of this ornament set and decided to stamp multi-colored snowflakes and sentiments on the January page of the birthday calendar I have been working on for the past month. For this calendar, I've been trying to use permanent ink whenever possible since it may be used for years to come, so I chose the closest Stazon ink colors I had on hand to match the inspiration piece.  The following stamps from ODBD were used: 'Snowflake Sentiments', 'Snowflake Mini' Set, 'Snowy Blessings', and 'Sparkling Snowflakes' (retired).
