September Release!

 

Hello Everyone!!  Today I have a personalised slimline card made for a friend of my daughter.  It's such an easy card to make but makes a big impact! 

I've used a cream base die cut with the Slimline Card Base Die and then cut another piece of cream with the new Slimline Bubbles Die.  I like the tone on tone effect and I have to say that I LOVE how easy card comes out of such a detailed die!!  Honestly all those little dots just fall out - happy days!  Next I've cut some Festive Fall Slimline paper with the also new Slimline Pierced Frame die.  The Pierced Frame and Bubbles die cuts are exactly the same size so nice and easy to line up.  With the paper that's left from the inside of the Pierced Fame, I've lined up the letters E, L (x2) and A and die cut and embossed them and then popped each one up on X-press It Foam Tape.  Next I've die cut a couple of butterflies using the solid paper from Festive Fall and the Butterfly Trio Dies.  I've airbrushed them with Black 100 Copic while still in the die and then also popped them up on foam tape.

JOY

 

Hello Everyone!!  Today I have a new slimline card for you and this time I'm trying to get the jump on this year's Christmas cards with something fun and festive!  I've used some newly released products and matched them up with some favourite older ones by Divinity Designs.

I've used the Slimline Card Base die to cut white card for the foundation.  The next layer is created using the solid red from Rustic Christmas Slimline paper pad and the Slimline Rectangles die.  I've topped this with white card cut with Slimline Bubbles Background die and topped again with Rustic Christmas paper cut with Slimline Rounded Windows die.  I've die cut the Letters J, O, Y using the Letter dies and Rustic Christmas Slimline Paper Pad and popped them up on X-press It Foam Tape.  Next die cut the leaves and poinsettias using the solid red and green papers from Rustic Christmas and the Leaves and Branches, Ferns and Peaceful Poinsettia dies and glue them into place as shown.  To finish I've added gold pearls to the flower centres.

Friendship Blessings

Hello Everyone!  It's time for a brand new release from Divinity Designs!  If you love Autumn/Fall, Butterflies, Slimline Cards and Friendship themed stamps - then this release is calling your name!  For my above card, I've used the new Slimline Pierced Frame Die, Slimline Bubbles Background Die, Butterfly Layering Combo, Festive Fall Paper Pad and Whole Bunch Stamp Set!

To create this card, I've cut the blue card base with the Slimline Card Base Die, then added a layer of white cut with the Slimline Bubbles Background Die and topped with Festive Fall Paper die cut with Slimline Pierced Frame Die.  I've die cut some leaves using Rose Leaves Dies, airbrushed the veins and then sponged some Peanut Brittle ink on them.  I've created the butterfly using the Butterfly Layering Combo to cut layers of yellow, blue and black.  The Butterfly Layering Combo die set does come with a backing die to create a four layer butterfly - but for this card I decided to leave it at three so you can see through the 'spots'.  To finish I've stamped the sentiment from Whole Bunch onto white card, die cut with Pennant Flags and sponged a little Cantaloupe ink and then popped up on X-press It Foam Tape.

For my second card I've used another new die - the Slimline Rounded Window Die.  This time I've gone the Full Autumn theme!  I've used the Slimline Card Base Die to cut the kraft card base and then used two different papers from Festive Fall Paper Pad and the brand new Slimline Rounded Window Die to create the card front.  I've then created the butterflies using the Butterfly Layering Combo die set and the solid colour papers from the paper pad with a black card base, glued them all together and popped up on X-press It Foam Tape.  To finish I've stamped the sentiment from Whole Bunch onto cream card, die cut with Vintage Labels 2 and sponged a little Wild Honey ink while still in the die and popped it up on X-press It Foam Tape.

Thanks

Hello Everyone!  Today I have a fun thank you card for you using some cute new goodies from Divinity Designs.  I've used Butterfly Trio Dies, Floating Frame Die and Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duo.

I've used a base of Rich Razzleberry cut with A2 Portrait Card Base With Layer Die, with the inside panel of cream cut with the layer die from the same set.  Next I've added a layer of River Rock cut with Matting Rectangle and Rustic Beauty paper cut with Floating Frame Die. I've taken the square from the Floating Frame Die set to cut through the River Rock and Razzleberry layers through to the inside.  I've then stamped the flowers and leaves from Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duo (I've used a Misti to make sure I've got a good even coverage) and then die cut with the matching die.  Next I've die cut the butterflies using Butterfly Trio Dies and brushed them with purple ink.  I've popped the butterflies and the top flowers up on X-press It Foam Tape.  To finish I've added the 'Thanks' using Wisteria Wonder card and the Thanks for Everything Stamp/Die Duo.

You Are My Lighthouse

Hello Everyone! Today we are showcasing the August Release by Divinity Designs!  I am using the new stamp set called Shine Bright!  I really like this adorable lighthouse and it also has a great combination of sentiments as well!

I've used a blue base and layered with River Rock.  I've stamped the lighthouse and sentiment from Shine Bright in black onto X-press It Blending Card and applied layers of Distress Ink for the sky and sea and coloured the lighthouse with Copics.  I've deliberately added touches of red and yellow down the side of the lighthouse for some reflected light.  I've also added the red band around the middle because I felt I made the lighthouse a little top heavy with the red.  I've framed this with America the Beautiful paper diecut with Pierced Frames.  I felt it looked a bit dark, so I've added a frame of aqua using Lavish Layers.  To finish I've added some River Rock Ribbon, some twine and a nautical charm.

Stamps - Shine Bright (Divinity Designs)
Ink - Black, Distress Inks: Broken China, Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire, Hickory Smoke, Peacock Feathers
Paper - Divinity Designs America the Beautiful, Blue, Aqua, River Rock
Accessories - Divinity Designs Dies: Pierced Frames, Lavish Layers; Copics, Spica Pen, River Rock Ribbon, Charm, Glue, Twine

For my second project, I've used the new Accordion Fold with Layers Die for the base card and layers.  It is a loooooooong die at a length of 12 inches, so it is easier with a long platform.  The layers are created using Beautiful Blooms paper.  Around the middle I've used the Belly Band Die to cut a matching base and the Beautiful Blooms paper (solid) for the layers.  I've decorated this with Vintage Labels 2 (airbrushed with R83 Copic) and topped with another diecut stamped with the sentiment from Shine Bright! I've then used Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duo to create all the flowers and leaves with a little extra help using my Misti to make sure of even inking!

Stamps - Shine Bright (sentiment), Birthday Blooms SDD (flowers/leaves)
Ink - Memento Angel Pink and New Sprout, Catherine Pooler It's a Girl
Paper - Divinity Designs Beautiful Blooms, Ivory, White
Accessories - Divinity Designs Dies: Accordion Fold with Layers, Belly Band, Vintage Labels 2

So who is the lighthouse in the storm of life that could use a card??  I can think of a couple that are always there to keep me grounded and shines light when I need it and I hope you do too!  Make sure you check out Divinity Designs Blog, Facebook,  Pinterest and Instagram for even more inspiration!

Emily

Hello Everyone!  Today I have an eclipse card that I've made for my son's girlfriend. Happy Birthday Emily!!  We hope that you have a wonderful, fun filled and very happy day - Best wishes from the Jones'!

Emily is 15 today and I tried to make something "not too over the top", but still classy!  Apparently her favourite colour is blue (me too!!), so I went looking for some pretty, but teenager appropriate paper and came across this cute butterfly paper by Kaisercraft which I thought was perfect.

I've used the Slimline Card Base die for the light blue base, Slimline Rectangles for the dark blue layer and then Slimline Layering Rectangles for the Flutter Kaisercraft layer.  I've taken the Letters E, M, I, L, Y and lay them on the patterned paper........they JUST fit!!  WHEW!!  I've held them in place with some removable tape and ran it through my Platinum die cut machine.  I've then removed the letters from the paper and embossed them before popping them up on foam tape.  To give just a little embellishing, I've added a couple of frangipani and fern die cuts.

Stamps - NONE
Ink - Memento Cantalope (flower centres)
Paper - Kaisercraft Flutter, Light Blue, Dark Blue, White, Green
Accessories - Divinity Designs Dies: Slimline Card Base, Slimline Rectangles, Slimline Layering Rectangles, E, M, I, L, Y, Frangipani, Ferns; Glue

That's all from me today, thanks for popping by and hope you are inspired to create!!  :)
