Divinity Designs LLC August New Releases!

Hi, everyone!  Wow, it's time for a new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  The summer is flying by; now that it's August, it's a perfect time for SUNFLOWERS!!!  Check out all of the new goodies plus some beautiful designer samples HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram.  Enjoy!!

 

For my first sample, I chose to pair one of the gorgeous patterns from the Vintage Sunflowers A2 Card Fronts, the Sunflower Layering Combo 2 Dies, and a sentiment from Forever Friends.  Other items used: Treat Tags Dies, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies, Blending Brushes, and Foam Mounting Tape.

 

My next sample, I combined one of the patterns from the Stained Glass Sunflowers Square Card Fronts Paper Pad with the Sunflower Gnomes Paper/Die Duo pack, the Gift Giving Goodie Bag Dies, and a sentiment from Forever Friends, cut out with the Treat Tags Dies.

Next up is a fun little card with matching envelope.  The card and layers were cut with the Mini Card and Double Layers Dies.  The image and sentiment from Forever Friends was stamped onto the white panel, cut with the layering die; while the panel was still in the die, the background was lightly colored with blending brushes before coloring the image with markers. The envelope was cut with the R.S.V.P. Envelope Die; one of the patterns from the Sunflower Bookmarks paper pad was used for the flap of the envelope.

And last but  not least, a thank you card created for my In-Laws for a recent act of kindness and generosity.  They both love gnomes so I chose a cutesie pair from the Sunflower Gnomes Paper/Die Duo Paper Pad, along with a gorgeous pattern from the Stained Glass Sunflower Square Card Fronts Paper Pad and a sentiment from Forever Friends.  Other items used: Ovals Dies, Double Stitched Ovals Dies, Squares Dies, Square Card Base, Double Stitched Squares Dies, Sentiment Strips 2 Dies, Blending Brush, and Foam Mounting Tape.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

You Are My Sunshine!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Another Dimension'...for my card today, the sunflower, sentiment panel, and fence are all popped up with Foam Mounting Tape for dimension.  The image from 'Be A Sunflower' Stamp/Die Duos was stamped on watercolor paper with Stazon Jet Black, cut out, then watercolored.  The colors weren't bold enough, so I brushed rust on the flower center and leaves with a Blending Brush for added 'oompf''.  The awesome designer paper is from the 'Follow the Son' paper pad and here are the dies I used: Farm Fence, Pierced Ovals, Ovals, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer. (Stamps, dsp, and dies are all from Divinity Designs LLC.)  The caramel gingham ribbon is from Stampin Up.....this has been long retired so I only use it for special creations...this is a birthday card for my dear friend (and hairdresser), Laura.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sunflower Bookmark Pocket Card

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a pocket card and bookmarks created for my Mother-In-Law.  I started by cutting and scoring an A2 card; an A2 panel was cut from a sunflower/gingham design from the ODBD 'Follow the Son' Paper Collection; the designer paper was then cut with a curved die from the ODBD Custom Leafy Edged Borders Dies set. The edges were sponged then adhesive was used on the bottom and two sides only, leaving the curved side open. The front of the card was then decorated with the 'Be a Sunflower' set, coordinating ODBD Custom Sunflower Die, ODBD Custom Fence Die, and ODBD Custom Pierced Ovals Dies. 

Since my MIL (mother-in-law) stated that she needed some bookmarks for her Bible, I created two to fit in the pocket, using the ODBD Custom Bookmarks Dies and the same papers and stamps as the card. The sunflowers were colored with markers, then burnished with sponges for a deeper color.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi, everyone!  Thanks to a bunch of fun challenges this weekend, I was able to create all three of my Mother's Day cards in one evening......one for Mom, my step-mom, and mother-in-law.  The Our Daily Bread designs Shining the Light Challenge is to use four out of five letters of S.P.R.I.N.G......S=sunflowers, P=paper piercing, R=replicated (it's a case, plus I made three), I = insects, N=nature, G= glitter pen.  This week's Queen For The Day at Splitcoast is Sandy aka Stampingwriter.....what a fun gallery....I chose this beautiful CAS card to re-create.  The Friday Free 4 All Challenge is all about Mother's Day.  I didn't have a clue what I was going to use for my Mother's Day cards until I saw the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast....choose an item from Wedding Decor....I chose this honey scented soap set as inspiration.

The little bee on the front is from the "Happy Mother' Day" set, but ODBD now has a matching "Stamped By" single stamp for the back of our cards.....love it!!!  This one is the "Bee Mini".  The Mom sentiment on the ODBD Elegant Ovals panel is from the "Mom" set and if you look close, you can see the Honeycomb Background stamp on the yellow card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Mother's Day and God bless!
