Divinity Designs LLC October/November New Release!

Hi, everyone! The New Release over at Divinity Designs LLC is so epic that it will be shared through November!  Since I work full time, I was only able to use a small portion of the goodies, but you can see them all HERE on the website or HERE on Instagram.  Enjoy!!

My first card features the Hot Cocoa Stamp/Die Duo set, along with one of the beautiful scenes from the Silent Snowfall A2 Card Fronts pack. Other items used: A2 Pierced Triple Window, Sentiment Strips 2, Matting Rectangle, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer, Foam Mounting Tape, Blending Brushes.

Next up is another beautiful winter scene from the Silent Snowfall A2 Card Fronts, along with the Rejoice Stamp/Die Duo set.  Other items used: Matting Rectangle, Mini Slimline Rectangles, Mini Slimline Scalloped Rectangles, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer, Blending Brushes, and Foam Mounting Tape.

My next card is super simple but is one of my faves.  I love this peaceful scene from the Silent Snowfall A2 Card Fronts pack, with a fabulous color combo of lavender and navy!  I used lavender foil cardstock for the Treat Tags Die and Ornamental Rectangle Die.  Other items used: Sentiment Strips, A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer, Foam Mounting Tape.

And lastly, I would like to share a fun gift bag created with the Gift Giving Goodie Bag Die Set.  The leaves are beginning to show their beautiful colors here in Indiana, so I wanted to create a fall themed project.  The designer paper used for the Goodie Bag layers is from the Festive Fall Slimline Paper Pad. Also featured is the new Stitched Tag Die Set and the Bitty Blossoms Dies.

We will be sharing new projects from this release throughout October and November. Stay tuned! Thanks for hanging out with us today!

Happy New Year Cards

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme is 'Warm and Cozy'....I didn't get a chance in December to post photos of all of the Happy New Year cards mailed out, so now is a good time.  I borrowed this fun idea from Lori Helling's blog post here. My cards are not all the same since I goofed when cutting my cardstock....I had the templates backwards on some! :p  The sentiment from 'Snowy Blessings' is the same on each card (thanks to my MISTI, twenty cards were stamped in no time!!), the designer papers are all from Divinity Designs LLC: Rustic Christmas and Christmas Collection 2018. Though not very visible, the ends of the scarfs were fringed with scissors. Instead of bling, the 'buttons' were made with a small circle punch so that the cards were completely flat for mailing.

Divinity Designs LLC November New Release!

Hi, everyone!  Wow, it's time for another new release from Divinity Designs LLC!  Seems like just yesterday is was summer and now we're working on winter projects!!  To see all of the beautiful new stamps and dies, plus some amazing designer samples, visit the Divinity Designs LLC Blog.

Below are the new items I have featured in my card samples for today:

My first card is a shaker card created with the new Snowman and Friends Stamp/Die Duos set, along with the Serenity Snowflakes Slimline Paper Pad, and the following dies: Snow Globe, Christmas Dove (snowflakes), Scalloped Rectangles, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, Scalloped Ovals, Pierced Ovals, and Ovals. The snow globe was cut from silver mirror paper; the outer edge of the die cut was used to trace onto the designer paper on which the snowman was stamped.  This created the backing for the shaker.  The snow inside is white Flower Soft sprinkles.

My second card features the new Birch Background Die, along with the 'All is Calm' Stamp/Die Duos set which was released last month. The Birch BG Die is the same size as the largest die in the Pierced Rectangles Dies set, so I cut a white panel, sponged yellow in the center and navy around the edges. The birch panel was cut with white, stenciled with gray, then popped up with foam tape over the sponged panel; the navy mat was cut with the Matting Rectangle Die and the gray card was cut with the A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer Dies set. The Large Banners Dies set was used for the sentiment, also sponged with yellow. The fawn was water-colored; the foliage and pinecones were colored with markers. Navy baker's twine was used as a finishing touch.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us today!

Happy New Year Snowy Deer

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Tina Wardell aka harleygirl50......congrats, Tina!  I chose this beautiful card as inspiration to help me create a bundle of Happy New Year cards to mail out next week.  I began by cutting a panel with the Double Stitched Squares Dies; left the panel in the die and sponged the background over scratch paper with navy ink.  The tree and deer images from 'Deer Silhouettes' were stamped in navy, then white acrylic ink mixed with water was flicked over the scene.  Once the paint specks were dry, the panel was matted with navy and adhered to a white card base. The greeting is from the 'Celebration' set.  (All of the products used are from Divinity Designs LLC.)

Divinity Designs LLC September Design Team Color Challenge

Hi, everyone!  It's time for another Design Team Color Challenge over at Divinity Designs LLC!  The featured paper collection this month is Christmas Collection 2018....I love the soft colors and patterns from this collection.  I chose two different patterns from the paper pack, along with the 'White As Snow' Stamp/Dies Duos set, Large Banners Dies, and Pierced Rectangles Dies.  To give it a country feel, I used kraft cardstock, linen thread, and sponged the panels.  Clear sequins were added to go with the snowy theme.

Winter Blessings To You!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Di aka DiHere....congrats, Di!  I need to make some clean and simple Happy New Year cards, so these two beautiful cards supplied the inspiration I was looking for for my assembly line stamping.  The sentiment is from 'White as Snow' and the ODBD Custom Dies used are: Neighborhood Border, Double Stitched Circles, and Double Stitched Rectangles.  Stickles were added at the end for snowy sparkle. This card also fits the DEC18VSNJ challenge, so I will be submitting this to that gallery as well.

Winter City Skyline

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from The Photo Argus......I chose this awesome city scape photo as inspiration.  For my card, I have used the following ODBD Custom Dies: Diorama with Layers, City Skyline, Icicle Border, Brick Gate Border, Curvy Slopes, Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos (star), and Log Cabin Quilt Die (sentiment panels).  The sentiment from 'Christmas Card Scriptures' was split between the two stitched panels. The designer paper is from the ODBD Christian Faith Paper Collection...I thought that the medallion design looked like snowflakes to match the winter scene.  The inside panel of the diorama was sponged in blue and yellow and the star die cut was added to go with the sentiment.

Winter Window

Hi, everyone! Today I am taking my last vacation day of the year and I am celebrating by creating a "just because" card.  Most everything I create is either for my HUGE personal birthday list or for design team commitments, but today I'm playing just for fun in the Ways To Use It Challenge over at Splitcoast which is all about windows.  I have used the following items from Our Daily Bread designs for my window card:  'Warm Wishes' set (snowman scene), ODBD Custom Window Die, ODBD Custom Curtains and Valance Dies, the pre-printed sentiment and designer paper 'wallpaper' are from the ODBD Christmas Card Collection 2016, and the other dies used are the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, ODBD Stitched Ovals Dies, and ODBD Custom Ovals Dies.

Warm Winter Night

Happy Saturday, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the creative packaging ideas from the Dieline Packaging website....I fell in love with the colors and snowflake design of this Bath and Body Works packaging! For my card, I began with a rectangle panel cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies; cut snowflake masks from post-it paper with the ODBD Custom Snow Crystals Dies and placed them on the white panel.  Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss inks were sponged over the masks.  Once the masks were removed, tiny snowflakes were stamped and the sentiment from 'Snowflake Sentiments' was silver embossed.  Both the mat (cut out with the ODBD Custom Snowflake Sky Dies) and silver snowflake were cut from silver mirror paper.  A glitter pen was used to add a bit more sparkle. (Note: the snowflakes and frame die will be available on November 1st.)

Have a blessed weekend!

Snowflake Circle Flower

Hi, everyone!  Wow, it was a cold blizzard of a day yesterday, which would have been fine by me, other than the fact that our power was out for twelve hours.....brrrrrr!!!  The Lord always looks after us, however, and no disasters occurred in our house during that time.  Today,  I'm home since most businesses around Indianapolis are closed due to the winter emergency status.  So, I was happy to be able to do some stamping this morning.......just because!  Most of my projects and cards are dedicated to a recipient, but this time I made a card just for fun!  The Clean and Simple Challenge is all about snowflakes and the Technique Lover's Challenge was to create a circle flower, so I combined the two and made a snowflake flower!

You can find the instructions on how to make the circle flower here.  After mine was finished, I cut a snowflake out of the same designer paper with the ODBD Custom Snowflakes Die Set to layer on top, along with a silver snowflake embellishment.  The flourish is from the ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage Die Set. The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread designs "Snowflake Sentiments".

Thanks for stopping by to visit!  Hope you are staying warm and safe!!

Your Unfailing Love

Hi, everyone! I am so happy to finally find the time to play along with the Mojo sketch!! Each week, the sketches are fabulous, but I was really thrilled to see a more simple layout....very easy for my busy brain to handle, plus it was perfect for my new snowflakes stamps and "Snowflakes" Die Set by Our Daily Bread designs! ;)

I still love my package of SEI "Winter Song" scrapbook paper which I bought last year (the little strip in the center)......I love the reds and blues for winter projects!  First, I stamped the "Small Snowflake Background" with Stazon White onto light blue cardstock, inked the edges in white, added the designer paper strip, paper pierced the edges, then layered the sentiment panel and stamped/die cut snowflakes.

Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Small Snowflake Background', 'Snowflake Sentiments', 'Sparkling Snowflakes';
Designer Paper: SEI 'Winter Song';
Accessories: ODBD Exclusive Spellbinders "Snowflakes" Die Set, Spellbinders 'Floral Ovals' and 'Oval Nestabilities' dies, May Arts rick-rack, lace (brand unknown), Want2Scrap Clear Rhinestones, paper piercer and template, foam tape;
Size: A2.
