Friends - DD Color Challenge

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I actually have two friendship cards to share with you today...the first was created for the Divinity Designs Color Combo Challenge. This month we are using colors inspired by papers from the Fall Favorites Paper Pad...just a little reminder that summer is coming to an end and Fall is on its way.

I decided to use the Forever Friends stamp set for my sample...I just love these cone flowers in fall colors!

Creative Nugget:  The new Z Fold Card with Layers Dies were used to create the base  of the card and some of the layers were cut with papers from the Follow the Son Paper Pad which coordinate with the Fall Favorites pad.  The sentiment peeking out from the second fold was embossed on and layered to circles cut with the Circles and Filigree Circles Dies.

The card opens to reveal a whole field of coneflowers which were masked and stamped repeatedly across all of the panels and colored with Copic Markers.  The new Farm Fence Die was used for the fencing and the sentiment was stamped on a banner cut with one of the Treat Tags Dies.

For my second card we head down to the farm!

Creative Nugget:  The blue and green papers from the Boho Bolds Paper Pad were cut with the Sunburst Background Die and the Grass Hill Die to form the background for the farm scene. The animals are all from the Farm Friends Stamp/Die Duo and were colored with Copic Markers.  Other dies used to create the scene include the Barn, Farm Fence, Pierced Circles and Fancy Circles dies.

By making a little T cut with a craft knife around the barn doors, they fold open to reveal a white embossed sentiment inside...along with two more farm friends!  The sentiments are from the Hogs & Kisses stamp set.

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Hey Chick!

Happy Friday to all my peeps!  Today I'm sharing a couple of cards using some farm themed products released by Divinity Designs this month.

Creative Nugget: Oxide inks were applied to the back of the Arrows Stencil, spritzed with water and smooshed onto a piece of mixed media paper cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die to create a splash of color.  Some twine was wrapped around the card front and A Circle cut from the following card was popped over the twine.  Love the Chicken Wire Background Die and those adorable little peeps from the Farm Friends Stamp/Die Duo.  A sentiment from the Hogs & Kisses stamp set was embossed up in the corner and some sequins added to finish this CAS card.  There you have it...1 sentiment, 2 colors, 3 peeps, 4 layers, and 5 sequins!

My second card features all the same stamps and dies!

Creative Nugget:  The Chicken Wire Background was mounted to a piece of mixed media paper covered with a splash of Oxide inks to create the card front.  The little peeps were randomly stamped through the Chicken Wire and a Circle cut from the lower corner. This is the circle that was used for the card above...can't resist a chance to use all the leftovers!  A little frame was created using the Double Stitched Circle and Circle Dies to place around the circular aperture.  Two banners were cut with one of the Treat Tags Dies...the black one was adhered across the circle and a sentiment from the  Hogs & Kisses stamp set was embossed on the yellow one.  Another of the sentiments was embossed on the yellow circle and an extra little chick added to finish the card.

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Welcome to the Divinity Designs August 2019 Release

Hello, friends!  Where is the summer going...it's already August and time for a new release by Divinity Designs.  This month we are off to the farm with adorable new stamp sets and dies.    

My first sample features the new Hogs & Kisses stamp set and the Farm Friends Stamp/Die Duo.

Creative Nugget:  I used the Surprise Box Dies to create the collapsable box and covered it with layers cut from papers from the Boho Bolds and Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Pads.  The new Farm Fence Die was used to cut two fences which were wrapped around the bottom of the box.  The sentiment is from the Hogs & Kisses stamp set and was embossed and cut with a Pierced Circle Die.  Those cute little piggies are from the Farm Friends Stamp/Die Duo.  Grass cut with the Grass Hill Die was used to decorate each of the Layering Hearts die cuts on which the little "Hogs" were mounted.  The XOXO's were cut with the Long and Lean Letter Dies.  The Clouds and Raindrops Dies were used to make additional embellishments to finish the Surprise Box!

My second project uses the new Z Fold Card with Layers Dies and the Rise & Shine stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  The card base was cut with the new Z Fold Card with Layers Dies.  The layers were cut from mixed media paper sponged with Oxide Inks.  Farm Fence, Grass Hill, Pierced Circles, Circles, and Fancy Circles dies were used to create the scene and the sentiment.

The rooster from the Rise & Shine stamp set was colored with Copic Markers.  The Chicken Wire Background die cut was glued to paper from the Weathered Wood Collection and a frame was cut from the panel.  A Double Stitched Square and a Square Die were used to make a window sill.  The sentiment was embossed, cut with a Double Stitched Oval and mounted to a Pierced Oval die cut.  The sentiment on the opposite panel was embossed and cut with a Pierced Circle Die and mounted to a Circle die cut to finish the card.

These new products from Divinity Designs were used to create the cards above...
