Divinity Designs LLC August New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to the August new release party for Divinity Designs LLC! This release, in my opinion, is super elegant!  Check out all of the new products, plus more amazing designer samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram.

My first sample was a bit time-consuming, but so worth it!  To get this stained-glass effect, here are the steps: cut 5-6 panels with the Mini Slimline Flourishy Frame Die; "dry emboss" another panel with the die without cutting the sections; color (outside the lines a bit) on the "cut-out" areas with markers; adhere the five cut frames over the colored layer.  Add glossy accents or any clear glaze to the colored sections and make sure the glaze touches all of the sides.  Don't worry about being messy because one final layer will go on top to hide all of the glaze mess.  Once the glaze is completely dry, the panel may be a little warped.  I placed a couple of books on top of it overnight to flatten it back out. The rest of the card was simple. The sentiment from God Quotes 4 was stamped onto a panel cut with the Vintage Labels 2 Dies; a flower cut with Bitty Blossoms was added, along with some coral baker's twine.  The stained-glass panel was framed with a Mini Slimline Scalloped Rectangle, adhered to a Mini Slimline Card Base. I love the navy, lime-green, and coral combination....hope you do as well!

My next sample is a Slimline triple-shaker card which features a scripture verse from the God Verses 3 set, the Slimline Flourishy Frame Die, the Arches Shaker Dies set, and the following items: Butterfly Trio Dies, Slimline Pierced Rectangles Dies, Slimline Card Base, a pretty pattern from the Floral Favorites Slimline Paper Pad, Adhesive Sheets, Foam Mounting Tape, and a Blending Brush.  NOTE: using Adhesive Sheets with your intricate dies helps to adhere them with no glue mess; just apply an adhesive sheet to the back of your cardstock before cutting....works like a dream!!!

For my last sample, I used the Arches Shaker Set in an alternate manner....for a cool frame!  The sentiment from God Quotes 4 was embossed onto the scenic pattern from the Majestic Mountains Slimline Card Fronts pack, cut with the smaller arch, then matted with the next size arch. In order to fit the height of the A2 card, the arches were "resized".  Other items used for this card: Slimline Curvy Slopes Dies, Trees and Deer Dies, Cowboy and Cactus Silhouettes Dies, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer, Blending Brushes, Foam Mounting Tape.

Thanks for hanging out with us today!

Blessings,

ODBD Sneak Peek - Stained Glass Birthday

Hi, everyone!  Hope you all had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving!

This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is to find inspiration from the Horchow site......I fell in love with the purple, green, and white color combo of these gorgeous table linens.  This week's Queen for the Day is Beverly aka ruby-heartedmom.....congrats, Beverly!!!!  Her gallery is full of so many cool techniques, so I decided to try the stained glass technique as she did on this beautiful card.  I tried a single image as she did, but it didn't turn out well, so instead I used the Ornate Background stamp from Our Daily Bread designs (available December 1st).  The background was stamped onto white vellum with versamark, heat embossed with white embossing powder, then the entire underside was colored with a sponge dauber in light purple, then markers highlighted the ornate designs.  The vellum panel was adhered to white cardstock using a Xyron Sticker Maker Machine, then matted, paper pierced and popped up with foam tape over light purple cardstock.  Since this is a birthday card for a dear friend, I also added a sentiment from the "Ornate Borders Sentiments", stamped over the "Ornate Borders and Flowers" design, cut out with the custom "Ornate Borders and Flower Die Set" (all available Dec 1st).  The leaves were cut out with the ODBD "Fancy Foliage" Die Set.

Thanks for visiting today!  Don't forget.....Our Daily Bread designs has a huge sale going on right now, plus Blog Candy.....check out the details HERE!

Have a very blessed weekend!!!
