Looking Back at the Divinity Designs January 2019 Release

Good morning, friends!  Today we are taking another look at the Divinity Designs January 2019 Release.  Some of the new product were used to make a half-shutter card and a couple of favors perfect to give as little gifts.

My first sample use the new Apple Branch stamp set, the Half-Shutter Card with Layers Dies and the Circles Stencil.

Creative Nugget:  Different shades of red Oxide inks were sponged through the Circles Stencil on mixed media paper.  The stencil was then cleaned off and shifted over to the right and down a little before adding Fossilized Amber ink.  These panels were then used for the layers on the card base.  Copic Markers were used to color the Apple Branch.  Papers from the Christmas Collection 2017 were used on the Belly Band and for some of the layers.  Pierced Rectangle Dies and Lavish Layers Dies were used to cut some of the layers. 

The same dies were used to cut the layers for the sentiments on the inside of the card.

I had fun matching the colors, papers and stenciled panels for my card!

The new Festive Favor Dies were used to create a couple of little gifts for some special friends.

Creative Nugget:  Mixed media panels created with the Circle Stencil and Oxide inks were cut down and sized using Pierced Rectangle Dies.  The stencil was then used to emboss the layer on the flap.  The flowers and leaves were cut from scraps and pearls colored with a Copic Marker were added to the centers of the flowers.   The sentiments from the Festive Favor Tag Sentiments Stamp Set were stamped on the little tags and tied onto the favor with twine.

Creative Nugget:  My second Festive Favor was made much the same way except paper from the Christmas Collection 2017 Paper Pad was used and a frame around the opening was cut with a Filigree Circle Die and a Circle Die.  The Circle Stencil was again used to emboss the flap.

I love all the little dies included with the Festive Favor Dies that can be used to decorate these fun little favors perfect for gifts throughout the year.

An Apple a Day

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card using the new Apple Branch stamp set from Divinity Designs to submit for several challenges.

Creative Nugget:  A mixed media panel was sponged with Oxide Inks, spritzed with water and embossed with the new Flourishes Embossing Folder.  The Apple Branch was stamped repeatedly and colored with Copic Markers.  The panel was cut first with a Pierced Rectangle Die and then at an angle.  A vellum strip with white embossing separates the two panels.  The sentiment was cut with an Oval Die and matted to a frame cut with one of the Vintage Label Flip Card with Layers Die.  Twine was added to finish the card.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:
Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge 1901 - Anything Goes
