Anniversary Fireworks!

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use a silhouette on your project.  My card today was created for my in-laws' anniversary, using some goodies from Divinity Designs LLC.  The eggplant frame was cut out with the Pierced Frames Dies; the sentiment from 'Lovely Day' was cut out with the Sentiment Strips with Layers Dies.  The silhouettes were cut with the Park Silhouettes Dies (coated with a clear glaze pen and glitter pen on the light.) The cool fireworks designer paper is from the Landscapes Paper Pad.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Woohoo, It's Your Birthday!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast could be interpreted many different ways.  I chose to cut out a window from the front of my card with the Floating Frame Front Dies set by Divinity Designs LLC.  The fun balloons and sentiments are from 'Wonky Wishes' which was part of the July Blessings Box (subscription).  Some of the balloons were sponged and others were paper-pieced with the same designer paper from the Geometric (6x9) Paper Pad.  On the inside, I used several of the sentiment stamps to create the message.  The sentiment on the front was cut out and matted with the Sentiment Strips with Layers Dies (from the April Blessings Box.) Yellow sequins were added here and there to bring out the yellow and orange tones in the paper.  Additional dies: Matting Rectangle and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

This is a close up of the inside panel (cut out with the Double Stitched Rectangles Dies.)

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!

Quilted Leaf

Hi, everyone!  This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is to create a winter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas card.  For my card today, I have used the following items from Divinity Designs LLC: 'A-maize-ing' Stamp/Die Duos set, Festive Fall Slimline Paper Collection, and the following dies: Quilted Leaf, Double Stitched Squares, Double Stitched Circles, and Circles.  This was super quick and easy.....I love when the designer paper does most of the work!  Happy Friday, everyone!! :)

Life Is Better With You

 

Hi, everyone!  This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast is a slimline design.  I had my heart set on the Floral Background Die from Divinity Designs LLC, but it didn't quite fit on their slimline dies, so I cut my own white card base and added pieces and parts to make it work.  The designer paper is from the 'Watercolor' Paper Pad; the sentiment is from 'Fur-ever Friends' Stamp/Die Duos set, and I used the Pierced Rectangles Dies to cut a black panel, cut it in half and added scraps of the paper to each end.  For the circle element, I chose a black sheer bow, tied with a Bow Easy.  I may go back and add some pearls later.....I'm undecided at the moment.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dinoroar Birthday

Hi, everyone!  For my card today, I combined the Sketch Challenge with the Color Challenge over at Splitcoast.  I do not have any of the new Stampin Up colors yet, but the closest I could find are So Saffron, Glorious Green, and Island Indigo, with the dessert option of punches or dies...I used a ticket corner punch.  The stamp set I used is one of my fave kid sets, 'Dinoroar' from Stampin Up.  This is a birthday card for one of my nephews who loves dinosaurs.  The dino's were stamped with Stazon Jet Black, fussy cut, popped with foam tape, and water-colored with the challenge colors.  The background scene was sponged over scratch paper and the banners were cut with a paper trimmer and by hand.  Wow, no dies on this one! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!
