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! <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I've used a cream base die cut with the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/">Slimline Card Base Die</a> and then cut another piece of cream with the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-bubbles-background-die/">Slimline Bubbles Die</a>. 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!

It's time for a brand new release from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/">Divinity Designs</a>! 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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-pierced-frame-die/">Slimline Pierced Frame Die</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-bubbles-background-die/">Slimline Bubbles Background Die</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/butterfly-layering-combo-dies/">Butterfly Layering Combo</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/festive-fall-slimline-sized-6x9/">Festive Fall Paper Pad</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/whole-bunch/">Whole Bunch Stamp Set</a>!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">To create this card, I've cut the blue card base with the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/">Slimline Card Base Die</a>, then added a layer of white cut with the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-bubbles-background-die/">Slimline Bubbles Background Die</a> and topped with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/festive-fall-slimline-sized-6x9/">Festive Fall Paper</a> die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-pierced-frame-die/">Slimline Pierced Frame Die</a>. I've die cut some leaves using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/rose-leaves-dies/">Rose Leaves Dies</a>, airbrushed the veins and then sponged some Peanut Brittle ink on them. I've created the butterfly using the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/butterfly-layering-combo-dies/">Butterfly Layering Combo</a> to cut layers of yellow, blue and black. The <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/butterfly-layering-combo-dies/">Butterfly Layering Combo die</a> 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'.

Hello Everyone! Today I have a new Accordion Card for you using the brand new Shine Bright stamp set by Divinity Designs. <br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/accordion-fold-with-layers-die/">Accordion Fold with Layers</a> dies to cut the blue base and the layers of <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/cool-casual-paper-pad/">Cool and Casual</a> paper and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/america-the-beautiful-paper-pad/">America the Beautiful</a> paper. I've stamped the Lighthouse and sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/shine-bright/">Shine Bright</a> onto X-press It Blending Card. I've created the sky and sea using a variety of distress inks and then coloured the lighthouse with Copics and then added some white sharpie. I've die cut both the image and sentiment using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/vintage-labels-2-dies/">Vintage Labels 2</a>. I've framed the lighthouse with blue die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/layered-lacey-ovals-dies/">Layered Lacey Ovals</a>. Inside I've added a rectangle panel using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-rectangles-dies/">Pierced Rectangles</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/rectangles-dies/">Rectangles</a> dies and a variety of sized silver stars die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sparkling-stars-dies/">Sparkling Stars</a> dies.<br />

Hello Everyone! Today I have a fun thank you card for you using some cute new goodies from Divinity Designs. I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/butterfly-trio-dies/">Butterfly Trio Dies</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/floating-frame-front-die-cbd560/">Floating Frame Die</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/birthday-blooms-stamp-die-duo/">Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duo</a>.<br />
<br />
I've used a base of Rich Razzleberry cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base With Layer Die</a>, 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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/rustic-beauty-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">Rustic Beauty paper</a> cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/floating-frame-front-die-cbd560/">Floating Frame Die</a>. 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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/birthday-blooms-stamp-die-duo/">Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duo</a> (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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/butterfly-trio-dies/">Butterfly Trio Dies</a> and brushed them with purple ink. I've popped the butterflies and the top flowers up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>. To finish I've added the 'Thanks' using Wisteria Wonder card and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/thanks-for-everything-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps/">Thanks for Everything Stamp/Die Duo</a>.<br />

<br />
Hello Everyone! Today we are showcasing the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/">August Release by Divinity Designs</a>! I am using the new stamp set called <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/shine-bright/">Shine Bright</a>! I really like this adorable lighthouse and it also has a great combination of sentiments as well!<br />
<br />
I've used a blue base and layered with River Rock. I've stamped the lighthouse and sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/shine-bright/">Shine Bright</a> 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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/america-the-beautiful-paper-pad/">America the Beautiful</a> paper diecut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-frames/">Pierced Frames</a>. I felt it looked a bit dark, so I've added a frame of aqua using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/lavish-layers-dies/">Lavish Layers</a>. To finish I've added some River Rock Ribbon, some twine and a nautical charm.<br />

<br />
For my second project, I've used the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/accordion-fold-with-layers-die/">Accordion Fold with Layers Die</a> 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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/beautiful-blooms-6x6-paper-pad/">Beautiful Blooms</a> paper. Around the middle I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/belly-band-die/">Belly Band Die</a> to cut a matching base and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/beautiful-blooms-6x6-paper-pad/">Beautiful Blooms</a> paper (solid) for the layers. I've decorated this with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/vintage-labels-2-dies/">Vintage Labels 2</a> (airbrushed with R83 Copic) and topped with another diecut stamped with the sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/shine-bright/">Shine Bright</a>! I've then used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/birthday-blooms-stamp-die-duo/">Birthday Blooms Stamp/Die Duo</a> to create all the flowers and leaves with a little extra help using my Misti to make sure of even inking!<br />

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'!<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/">Slimline Card Base</a> die for the light blue base, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-rectangles-die/">Slimline Rectangles</a> for the dark blue layer and then <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-layering-rectangles-die/">Slimline Layering Rectangles</a> for the Flutter Kaisercraft layer. I've taken the Letters <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-e-die/">E</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-m-die/">M</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-i-die/">I</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-l-die/">L</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-y-die/">Y</a> 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 <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/frangipani-dies/">frangipani</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/ferns-dies/">fern</a> die cuts.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hello Friend! I know some of you are enjoying the Summer weather, but here in Australia it is Winter and we are dreaming of of those warm, balmy days. So I've made a fun and tropical themed friendship card to kick off today's post.<br />
<br />
Using the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/search.php?search_query=slimline">Slimline Range</a> from Divinity Designs for the layers - <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/">Slimline Card Base</a> for the green base, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-rectangles-die/">Slimline Rectangles</a> for the cream layer, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-pierced-window-frame-die/">Slimline Pierced Window Frame</a> for the yellow layer. In two of the windows, I've used some <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/cool-casual-paper-pad/">Cool and Casual Paper</a> and left the middle one blank. Across the bottom I've added some green ribbon. I've stamped the sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/wavy-words-stamp-die-duos/">Wavy Words stamp/die</a> duo in black ink onto cream card and die cut with the matching die and popped it up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>. Finally I've added my flowers and greenery using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/frangipani-dies/">Frangipani Dies</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/ferns-dies/">Ferns Dies</a>.<br />

My second project is an A2 Card using the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/raspberries/">Raspberries</a> stamp set. I've stamped it in Gray Flannel (lightly stamping it off first to give a second generation/paler image. I've coloured it with Copics and pencils and die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/vintage-label-dies/">Vintage Labels Dies</a>. I've sponged Antique Linen ink around the image while it was still in the die. I've framed this with red card cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/vintage-borders-dies/">Vintage Borders</a>. The card base is created using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base</a> in red, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> in River Rock and then <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/lattice-background-die/">Lattice Background </a>in Cream. Around these layers I've added some Hessian (Burlap) Ribbon and Red Ribbon. I've stamped the sentiment from Raspberries in Warm Sepia, die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/circles-dies/">Circles</a>, sponged Antique Linen while still in the die. I've added some cream die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/leaves-branches-dies/">Leaves and Branches</a> for just a little accent and popped it up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">foam tape</a>.<br />

I've made my last card a Sympathy card and therefore wanted to keep it very subtle and understated. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/">Slimline Card Base</a> to cut the blue base and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-rectangles-die/">Slimline Rectangles</a> to cut a cream layer. I kept it in the die and airbrushed some B21 Copic. I've then taken the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/roses-mixed-media-stencil/">Roses Stencil</a> and some Antique Linen Ink to sponged the pattern background which turned it into this lovely tone on tone effect. I've topped this with blue cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-flower-petal-background-die/">Slimline Flower Petal Background</a>. Around this I've attached some ribbons and die cut the 'Sympathy' from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/with-sympathy-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps/">With Sympathy Stamp/Die Duo</a> twice in cream and blue. To finish I've added some tiny cream pearls.<br />

Hello Everyone!! This month Divinity Designs has gone Slimline!!! These long and tall cards are the hottest trend in the market right now and Divinity Designs has a <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/search.php?search_query=slimline">MASSIVE range</a> of goodies including papers and dies to choose from!!<br />
<br />
I really wanted to make one card using larger roses since I had so much more space to play with, so I've created the roses out of pink card using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/rose-dies/">Rose Dies</a>. For the extra leaves and flourishes, I've cut some green and cream card using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/rose-leaves-dies/">Rose Leaves</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/leaves-branches-dies/">Leaves and Branches Dies</a> to create the floral explosion. I've constructed the card base and layers using all the new toys.....I mean....products......<br />
<br />
I've used<a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/"> Slimline Card Base Die</a> (you will need a diecut machine with a larger die cut area), for the cream base, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-rectangles-die/">Slimline Rectangles</a> for the pink layer, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-layering-rectangles-die/">Slimline Layering Rectangles</a> for the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/beautiful-blooms-slimline-sized-6x9/">Beautiful Blooms Slimline Paper</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-flower-petal-background-die/">Slimline Flower Petal Background</a> for the cream decorative layer (swoooon....love this die!). For the middle, I've added cream card die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/vintage-label-dies/">Vintage Labels</a> and lightly sponged with cream ink (although to be honest, I think there was a tiny bit of green still on my blender brush so it has a slight green hue) and also die cut a <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/double-stitched-pennant-flags-dies/">Double Stitched Pennant Flags</a>. To finish I've added cream card die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/happy-birthday-caps-die/">Happy Birthday Caps</a> and airbrushed with RV32 Copic.<br />
<br />
Now this card is not one you would realistically be able to post in the mail, but rather a special hand delivered one. If you wanted to post it, I would make the roses flat instead of shaped. But why go flat if you don't have to right!! :)<br />

I have a second slimline card today, this time using a brand new stamp set called <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/raspberries/">Raspberries</a>! Such a cute stamp set filled with sweet sentiments! <br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-card-base-die/"> Slimline Card Base Die</a> to cut the red base, and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-rectangles-die/">Slimline Rectangles</a> for the kraft layer. I've used the image from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/raspberries/">Raspberries</a> and versamark ink to stamp around the edges of the kraft layer. Next I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-rectangles-die/">Slimline Rectangles</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/slimline-layering-rectangles-die/">Slimline Layering Rectangles</a> to cut the red and cream layers and wrapped some hessian (burlap) ribbon around it. Next I've stamped the image from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/raspberries/">Raspberries</a> in gray ink onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics and pencils. I've die cut this with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/double-stitched-circles-dies/">Double Stitched Circles</a> and brushed Antique Linen ink around it while still in the die. I've matted it with red card cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/scalloped-circles-dies/">Scalloped Circles</a> for a delicate edge and popped it up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>. Finally I've stamped the sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/raspberries/">Raspberries</a> in brown ink, die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pennant-flags-dies/">Pennant Flags</a> and matted with red cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/double-stitched-pennant-flags-dies/">Double Stitched Pennant Flags</a>. <br />

Hello Everyone! Today I have a Twist and Pop Up Card for a baby girl! I know I seem to be addicted to twist and pop cards, but they are just so fun to make and I just can't help myself!! It's also really cool to see the reactions on the faces of the recipients when they open them. :)<br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer Dies</a> to cut the Blushing Bride card base and patterned paper layer. <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle Die</a> has been used to cut the white layer. All the papers come from the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/baby-girl-paper-pad/">Baby Girl Paper Pad</a> and I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-frames/">Pierced Frames</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pennant-row-dies/">Pennant Row Dies</a> for the frame and bunting. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/bless-this-baby-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps/">Bless This Baby Stamp/Die Duo</a> for the sentiment and 'Baby' diecut. I've actually diecut 'Baby' 3 times in white and once in the solid colour from the paper pad and glued them all together - this adds some dimension and gives a lot of strength. <br />
<br />

<br />
Inside, I've used the layer die from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer Dies</a> to cut the white panels and added strips of patterned paper. I've cut the (unseen) mechanism panel out of white using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers Dies</a>, and the accordion panel out of Blushing Bride to match the card base. The layering has been done with matching papers. To finish I've used the Letters G, I, R, L to die cut the solid paper from the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/baby-girl-paper-pad/">Baby Girl Paper Pad</a>.<br />

Hello Everyone! Mothers are amazing aren't they? I suppose like most people, I think my Mum is the bestest in the whole world, my friend, my confidant, my support, my backstop..... It doesn't seem to matter how old you get, your Mum is still the one you go to and at the moment it's hard with the Covid19 virus out there for many to see and hug their mothers, so I think a card would be perfect to show a little love. This sentiment really speaks to me and perfect for all the Mums or Moms out there.<br />
<br />
I've used an aqua base and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/shabby-rose-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">Shabby Rose Paper layer</a> cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies</a> and the white layer cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a>. I've cut more white card with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/scalloped-chain-die/">Scalloped Chain Die</a> which fits perfectly over the Shabby Rose layer. Around this I've added some white and aqua ribbons. Next I've stamped the rose image and sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/my-world-stamp-die-duos/">My World Stamp/Die Duo</a> onto X-press It Blending Card, coloured with Copics and diecut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-ovals-dies/">Pierced Ovals</a>. I've stamped the three rose image, coloured it with Copics and die cut with the matching die and popped it up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>. I've matted this with aqua diecut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/layered-lacey-ovals-dies/">Layered Lacey Ovals</a> and finished with a big bow.<br />

Hello Everyone!! Today I have another Shirt Card for you!! This time I've gone with a western style theme. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/couture-collection-dies/">Couture Collection Dies</a> for the base card - cut out of brown card - and then the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/everyday-shirt-die/">Everyday Shirt Dies</a> to decorate the front. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/cool-casual-paper-pad/">Cool and Casual paper collection</a> for the pattern and accented with brown card for the trim, buttons and pocket.<br />
<br />
These are so quick and easy to make and such a fun card to give to any male in your life. Let's face it, masculine cards are often known as "The Dreaded MAN Card" to most of us, so anything that makes it easier has got to be a bonus!<br />

Hello Everyone! After a rough year, I have finally got out my markers and pencils and coloured this big, beautiful bloom from <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/">Power Poppy</a>! It is so commanding of center stage that I really didn't have to do much else to make this shine!<br />
<br />
I have a white base and cream layer. The next layer started as a piece of white card which I then used a blender brush and some Bundled Sage, Brushed Corduroy and a touch of Peacock Feathers. I've stamped the sentiment from <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/strong-and-beautiful?_pos=3&_sid=f118e3b52&_ss=r">Strong and Beautiful</a> in Vintage Sepia ink in the corner. Next I've die cut the 'bricks' using white card and <a href="https://paperrose.com.au/products/texture-4-metal-die-17934?_pos=4&_sid=f889bc3ff&_ss=r">Texture 4 Die</a> by Paper Rose. I've stamped the flower and leaves from <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/abundant-petals?_pos=8&_sid=3c3d656bf&_ss=r">Abundant Petals</a> (FYI, this flower also comes in Digital - <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/products/big-flouncy-peony?_pos=2&_sid=3c3d656bf&_ss=r">Big Flouncy Peony</a>) in black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics and some pencil, fussy cut (because I masked this instead of using the matching die! D'OH!) and then popped up on foam tape. To finish I've added a few cream sequins.<br />

The 'Father' is a diecut using blue card and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/family-names-1-dies/">Family Names 1 Die Set</a> and I added a little airbrushing with B95 Copic.

Hello Everyone!! Today I'm playing with the latest release by <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/">Divinity Designs</a>! For my first project I've made a milk carton using the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/milk-carton-with-layers-dies/">Milk Carton with Layers Dies</a> to cut the cream base and By The Shore paper layers. I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/curvy-slopes-dies/">Curvy Slopes</a> to cut another piece of <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/by-the-shore-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">By The Shore paper</a> and attached to the bottom of the carton. Next I stamped the footprints from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/footsteps-stamp-die-duos/">Footsteps Stamp/Die Duo</a> in Tea Dye ink and die cut with the matching die. Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Vintage Sepia and die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/scalloped-ovals-dies/">Scalloped Ovals</a> (brushing some Antique Linen ink on while still in the die) and pop up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>.<br />

For my tropical themed card, I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer</a> to cut the cream base, then added a panel of <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/by-the-shore-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">By The Shore paper</a>, stamping the sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/footsteps-stamp-die-duos/">Footsteps</a> directly onto the patterned paper in Vintage Sepia. I've stamped and die cut the footprints using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/footsteps-stamp-die-duos/">Footsteps Stamp/Die Duo</a> and also added some cream sequins. Next I've die cut some <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/cool-casual-paper-pad/">Cool and Casual paper</a> using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-frames/">Pierced Frames</a> and then popped the frame up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>.<br />

For my final project today I have a Suit! Well actually it's a card using the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/suit-jacket-die/">Suit Jacket Die</a> set! This is great for men's cards or something more formal like a Graduation! You'll need the card base dies using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/couture-collection-dies/">Couture Collection Dies </a>- which I've used to cut white card. Next I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/suit-jacket-die/">Suit Jacket Die</a> set to cut the Jacket, Buttons, Pocket Squares and Bow Tie. Honestly, it's super easy, the hardest part is deciding what colour combo or paper you want to use!<br />

Did you pick up on my inspiration for this one?? It's Doctor Who!! Specifically the 11th Doctor who had a penchant for bowties.....and fezzes as well. :)<br />

Once again I've usde <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/couture-collection-dies/">Couture Collection Dies </a> for the base (I've used cream) and then another to cut the Menswear Material to create the shirt. Next I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/suit-jacket-die/">Suit Jacket Die</a> set to cut the Jacket, Buttons, Pocket Squares and Bow Tie out of Kraft and Red. I've darkened the jacket buttons by spraying the card with E74 Copic and then die cutting them. Whether you are inspired by any of the Doctor Who's, Agent 007 or even Willy Wonka's purple suit, you are bound to have a fab time creating these suit cards!<br />

Hello Everyone! Today is my daughter Ally's 13th Birthday!! My youngest child, my baby, is a teenager. Where did that time go? I've decided that a special birthday requires a special card and created a Twist and Pop card for her in pretty pinks and creams.<br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer</a> die for the cream base. I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/beautiful-blooms-6x6-paper-pad/">Beautiful Blooms paper</a> and die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-frames/">Pierced Frames dies</a> for the front. Now I admit, I was doing this late at night and had a chocolate layer underneath and meant to cut the middle piece again with the frames dies to have a small edge showing, but I glued the panel straight down.....sigh! Across the card I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pennant-flags-dies/">Pennant Flags</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/treat-tags-dies/">Treat Tag Dies</a> to cut the notched tags and glued into place. I've created the circle panel using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/fancy-circles-dies/">Fancy Circles</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/circles-dies/">Circles</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-circles-dies/">Pierced Circles</a>. I've die cut the numbers using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/large-numbers-dies/">Large Numbers</a> and airbrushing with Copic RV95 while still in the die and then popped up on <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/x-press-it-double-sided-foam-tape-1-2x4-4yards/">X-press It Foam Tape</a>. To finish I've added some clear rhinestones to the corners.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7MseapZzROs/Xt2NMadXcBI/AAAAAAAAJOs/5Yye0pOtRusry4f4ws35gAQfgz3bHKY7QCK4BGAsYHg/s1500/Pink%2B13%2BTwist%2Binside%2Bkaj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7MseapZzROs/Xt2NMadXcBI/AAAAAAAAJOs/5Yye0pOtRusry4f4ws35gAQfgz3bHKY7QCK4BGAsYHg/s640/Pink%2B13%2BTwist%2Binside%2Bkaj.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next I made the fun inside! I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer</a> die to cut the pink and cream layers. I've die cut some more <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/beautiful-blooms-6x6-paper-pad/">Beautiful Blooms paper</a> using the edge of the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/scalloped-rectangles-dies/">Scalloped Rectangles Die</a> to create the top and bottom panels. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers Dies</a> to create the mechanism (under the pop out panel) and the accordion fold panel and layers. I've die cut some cream card using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-a-die/">Letter A</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-l-die/">Letter L</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-y-die/">Letter Y</a> and airbrushed with Copic RV95 while still in the die and then glued as shown. To finish I've added a few cream sequins.</div>

Hello Everyone!! Can you tell that it's birthday season in my family right now?? So many of our young people have birthdays from late April to early June and this one is heading to my nephew who lives near the beach, loves fishing and being active outdoors. <br />
<br />
I'm addicted to these twist and pop up cards and have another one for you today! <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">The Twist and Pop with Layers Die</a> set is available to order from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/">Divinity Designs</a> and should be shipping on 30th May. :)<br />
<br />
I've created this card with the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Base and Layer dies</a> to make the base of blue, the kraft layer is cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> and then I've cut some <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/by-the-shore-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">By The Shore paper</a> with the Layer die. At the bottom I've created the little scene using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/curvy-slopes-dies/">Curvy Slopes</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/by-the-shore-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">By The Shore paper</a> for the sand dues, the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/grass-lawn-die/">Grass Lawn Die</a> for the green grass, the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/fence-die/">Fence Die</a> to make the white fence.

I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/large-numbers-dies/">Large Number Dies</a> to cut kraft card and airbrushed some E87 Copic while it was still in the die and finally die cut some flags (swim between the red and yellow flags people! Aussies will understand that!) using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pennant-flags-dies/">Pennant Flags</a>.<br />

For the inside, I've used the layer die again to cut the kraft panels and added strips of <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/by-the-shore-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">By The Shore paper</a>. I've then cut the twist and pop panel in white (behind the accordion panel) using the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers Dies</a> and glued it into place following the instructions on the pack. I've cut the longer panel out of blue and the layers of <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/by-the-shore-collection-6x6-paper-pad/">By The Shore paper</a> all using the same <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers Dies</a>.

Hello Everyone! Today I have another Twist and Pop Up Card, this time for my son who is 15yrs today! No longer my little Benasaurus, he towers a good foot over me these days, but I love him to bits still. Happy Birthday Ben!<br />
<br />
I decided to make him something a little extra special, especially considering we are still enduring the effects of the pandemic and celebrating a birthday is somewhat subdued. I made him a Twist and Pop Up card - now he's grown up with handmade cards all his life and he nodded his approval at the closed card when it came out of the envelope, but his expression when it popped out was awesome!!<br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer</a> die to cut the red base and patterned paper layer (using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/america-the-beautiful-paper-pad/">America the Beautiful Paper Pad</a>). I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> for the white card layer. I've added a piece of black mesh ribbon across the card. Next I created the focal panel of blue, die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/large-banner-dies/">Large Banner Die</a>, black cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-circles-dies/">Pierced Circles</a>, red cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sparkling-stars-dies/">Sparkling Stars</a> and silver paper cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/large-numbers-dies/">Large Numbers</a> to create the 15. I've popped this whole panel up on foam tape. I've then used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/curvy-slopes-dies/">Curvy Slopes Die</a> to cut a piece of black card for the bottom and accented with a silver star and some silver pearls.<br />

Hello Everyone! Today I have a card inspired by this week's <a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/featured-stamper-f132/fs693-%7B5-17-20%7D-one-block-up-70th-street-t633514.html">Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge</a> and is also a card for my niece's birthday. I was inspired by the <a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2981793?&cat=500&ppuser=413064">Blue Daisies</a> card in the Featured Stamper Gallery, keeping the colour palette, layout and floral inspiration.<br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card base and Layer</a> die for the base, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> to cut the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/romantic-roses-6x6-paper-pad/">Romantic Roses</a> paper layer and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/scalloped-chain-die/">Scalloped Chain</a> for the next white layer. Next I've added another strip of Romantic Roses paper and topped it with white card cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/flower-lattice-die/">Flower Lattice Die</a>. I've cut a piece of white using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/double-pierced-vintage-labels-dies/">Double Pierced Vintage Labels</a> and airbrushed it with Copic BG72 white still in the die. I've stamped the flowers from My World in Gray Flannel in and coloured with Copics and pencil and die cutting with the matching die. I've added greenery using the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pretty-posies-dies/">Pretty Posies</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/leaves-branches-dies/">Leaves and Branches Dies</a>. To finish I've die cut the 16 using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/large-numbers-dies/">Large Numbers Dies</a>, also airbrushing with BG72 while still in the die and popped them up on foam tape.<br />

<br />
Hello Everyone! Today I have a Twist and Pop Card that I made for my Mum for Mother's Day. I've used a range of new products by Divinity Designs including the Twist and Pop Dies used to create this awesome pop out inside! My Mum has had a rough year; three months ago we found out her cancer has returned and she's been undergoing treatment since then. I wanted to make sure that this Mother's Day Card was something with extra pizazz and hopefully brings a smile to her face!<br />
<br />
I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer</a> to cut the purple base (her favourite colour!), layered with white (cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a>) and topped with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/watercolor-paper-pad/">Watercolor Paper</a> cut with the matting layer in the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer</a> set. Next I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/lavish-layers-dies/">Lavish Layers</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/delicate-doily/">Delicate Doily</a> to cut white card and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pierced-circles-dies/">Pierced Circles</a> to cut a piece of gold. I've stamped the sentiment from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/my-world-stamp-die-duos/">My World SDD</a> onto white card and cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/circles-dies/">Circles Die</a>. I've then stamped the roses from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/my-world-stamp-die-duos/">My World</a> onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics and cut with the matching die. I've accented with leaves cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pretty-posies-dies/">Pretty Posies</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/leaves-branches-dies/">Leaves and Branches Dies</a>.<br />

<br />
To decorate the inside of this card, I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer</a> to cut the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/watercolor-paper-pad/">Watercolor Paper</a> layered. I've then cut gold card using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/delicate-doily/">Delicate Doily</a> and cut it in half to decorate the middle so that it frames the twist and pop section. I've then used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/trellis-strip-die/">Trellis Strip die</a> to cut a piece of white card, trimmed to size and sliced in half to decorate the top and bottom. Next I've cut the Twist and Pop mechanism panel out of white and the accordion panel in purple using the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers Dies</a> and followed the instructions to glue it all together. I've taken a piece of white card and brushed on some Sugared Lavender ink using the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/roses-mixed-media-stencil/">Roses Mixed Media Stencil</a> and then die cut with the layer die from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers Dies</a>. I've then decorated the panels using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/layering-hearts-dies/">Layering Hearts</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/long-lean-letters-dies/">Long and Lean Letters</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/my-world-stamp-die-duos/">My World</a> (rose stamp and die), <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/pretty-posies-dies/">Pretty Posies</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/leaves-branches-dies/">Leaves and Branches</a>. <br />

Hello Everyone! I haven't been in my craftroom for a very long time, but a parcel from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/">Divinity Designs</a> arrived on my doorstep with new goodies that needed some attention. I know I've been away for a long time, we've had some serious health issues affect my family that required me to be away from home for long periods of time this year. More than likely I will be away on and off for more time throughout the year, but I'm trying to get into my craftroom more as creativity is good for your soul.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's project is a Twist and Pop Card! I've seen some of these created recently but this is the first one I've actually made myself. I've created the base card using the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> to cut the white base and purple and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/whimsical-wildflower-6x6-paper-collection/">Whimsical Wildflowe</a>r layers. Around this I've added a piece of white ribbon. Next I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/large-banner-dies/">Large Banner Dies</a> to cut cream card, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/delicate-doily/">Delicate Doily</a> to cut purple card and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/happy-birthday-caps-die/">Happy Birthday Caps</a> to cut white card and airbrush with V09 Copic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The inside is where the action all happens......literally!! Here I've used the new <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/twist-pop-with-layers-die/">Twist and Pop with Layers dies</a>. The twist mechanism I cut with white and then topped with the accordion panel made of purple. I followed the instructions that are inside the packaging and it's really easy to follow for those who haven't made one before (like me!). I've layered with more <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/whimsical-wildflower-6x6-paper-collection/">Whimsical Wildflower</a> paper and then cut the name of my niece using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-k-die/">Letter K</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-a-die/">Letter A</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-i-die/">Letter I</a> out of yellow card and airbrushed with Y26 Copic. Inside the card I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/roses-mixed-media-stencil/">Roses Mixed Media Stencil</a> to add a decorative pattern to the top and stamped the roses image from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/my-world-stamp-die-duos/">My World Stamp/Die Duo</a> to the bottom and lightly coloured with Copics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My niece Kaia, doesn't find her name on things very often so I like to make things a little more personal for her and hope shes likes not just the name but the twist and pop action as well!</div>

I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/a2-portrait-card-base-with-layer-die/">A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer</a> for the green base card and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/beautiful-blooms-6x6-paper-pad/">Beautiful Blooms</a> paper layer. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/matting-rectangle-die/">Matting Rectangle</a> die to cut the brown layer between the two. I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/quilted-honeycomb-background-die/">Quilted Honeycomb Background</a> die to cut some gold paper to go over the patterned paper layer. I've then stamped, coloured and die cut the branch, beehive, bees and sentiment (the sentiment die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sentiment-strips-dies/">Sentiment Strips</a>) using <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/bee-lieve-stamp-die-duos/">Bee-lieve stamp/die duo</a>.</div>

Last week-end my eldest child turned 18, which means here in Australia he is a fully legal adult!! My mind is still adjusting to this - where did my baby go?? We had the house decorated in mostly black, gold and silver - so I used this theme (and a touch of blue) into his card! <br />

Hello Everyone!! It's Power Poppy Friday and I have a Covered Journal to share with you today! For this project I've used the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/strong-and-beautiful">Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set</a> because I thought this large, amazing image would be perfect on a notebook!<br />
<br />
I've used a large Spirax hardcovered notebook and covered with some Fab Scraps paper from my stash. Across this is some pink punched with a border punch topped with white and the reverse of the patterned paper. The feature panel is white layered with pink die cut with Elegant Labels Four. Next I've added a panel of white, die cut with Grand Labels Four (Retired) and airbrushed with green Copic. I've die cut the Letters K and H and airbrushed them with Copic while still in the die. Finally I've stamped the image from <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/strong-and-beautiful">Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set</a> and coloured with Copics and pencils then carefully fussy cut out and popped up on foam tape!<br />

Hello Everyone! I know it has been a long time in between posts for me, but unfortunately a serious health scare happened in my family just before Christmas which required a lot of time away from home and the time to create. I wouldn't say that it is over as yet, but at least at a less fearful stage although the testing is continuing. Any prayers for our family would be greatly appreciated!<br />
<br />
On to today's projects!! I have two today using all the latest goodies released by Divinity Designs this month which includes.... <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/somebunny-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps/">Somebunny Stamp/Die Duo</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/triple-step-with-layers-dies/">Triple Step with Layers Dies</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sweet-hearts-collection-paper-pad/">Sweet Hearts Collection Paper Pad.</a><br />
<br />
For my first card I've used pink card for my base and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sweet-hearts-collection-paper-pad/">Sweet Hearts Collection Paper Pad</a> for the layers cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/triple-step-with-layers-dies/">Triple Step with Layers Dies</a>. I've stamped the images from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/somebunny-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps/">Somebunny Stamp/Die Duo</a> in Memento Desert Sand, coloured with Copics and die cut with the matching die from the same set. For the top image I've layered pink and white card cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/layering-hearts-dies/">Layering Hearts Dies</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/tulip-heart-die/">Tulip Heart Die</a>. I've attached the bottom image to the card and stamped the sentiments from Somebunny in black and die cut with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sentiment-strips-dies/">Sentiment Strips Dies</a>. Finally I've used the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/mini-tags-dies/">Mini Tags Dies</a> to create some accents for the other two panels and finished with a few clear rhinestones.<br />

I went with the red colour palette from the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sweet-hearts-collection-paper-pad/">Sweet Hearts Collection Paper Pad</a> for my second card using a base of white and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/triple-step-with-layers-dies/">Triple Step with Layers Dies</a>. I've stamped the bunnies and sentiments from <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/somebunny-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps/">Somebunny Stamp/Die Duo</a> with Memento Gray Flannel, colouring the bunnies with Copics and die cutting the sentiments with <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/sentiment-strips-dies/">Sentiment Strips Dies</a>. For all the accent pieces I've used <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/tulip-heart-die/">Tulip Heart Die</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/layering-hearts-dies/">Layering Hearts</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/mini-tags-dies/">Mini Tags Dies</a>, finishing with some Pewter Pearls. <br />
