<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Good morning, friends...happy Friday! Only five more days until Christmas so today I have several of my last Christmas projects for this year to share using products from the <b><a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Divinity Designs</a></b> December 2019 Release. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Creative Nugget:</span></i> The background for my scene was created by applying Oxide Inks to a piece of acetate, spritzing it with water and patting and smearing the wet ink onto a piece of mixed media paper...blues on the top and greens on the bottom. A smaller rectangle was cut from the panel, mounted to a piece of white card stock and popping it back onto the larger rectangle. </b></span><b style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fence and clouds were cut with retired dies from <a href="https://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/">SNSS</a> and were popped onto the scene along with the cute critters from <a href="https://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/fur-ever-friends-clear-stamp-set/">Fur-ever Friends</a> which were colored with Copic Markers and cut with my Scan 'N Cut. One of the sentiments from <a href="https://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/fur-ever-friends-clear-stamp-set/">Fur-ever Friends</a> was embossed on one of the clouds to finish the card.</b></div>

I actually have two friendship cards to share with you today...the first was created for the <b><a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/">Divinity Designs</a></b> Color Combo Challenge. This month we are using colors inspired by papers from the <b><a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/fall-favorites-6x6-paper-pad.html">Fall Favorites Paper Pad</a></b>...just a little reminder that summer is coming to an end and Fall is on its way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I decided to use the <b><a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/forever-friends.html">Forever Friends</a></b> stamp set for my sample...I just love these cone flowers in fall colors!</span><br />

The steam from the <a href="https://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/tea-for-two-clear-stamp-set/">Tea for Two</a> stamp set was stamped over the texture and a heart shaped frame was cut using some Spellbinders Dies. The teapot, cups and tea bag were colored with Copic Markers, cut with my Scan 'N Cut and popped onto the card.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Creative Nugget: </span></i> <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/center-step-card-die.html">Center Step Card</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/center-step-layers-dies.html">Center Step Layers Dies</a> were used to create the base for my little baby scene. The designer papers used come from the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/baby-girl-paper-pad.html">Baby Girl </a>AND <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/baby-boy-paper-pad.html">Baby Boy</a> paper pads. The clouds and grass were cut with the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/cloud-border-dies.html">Cloud Border Dies</a> and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/grass-hill-die.html">Grass Hill Die</a>. I am always looking for different ways to use the dies that I have so found that the handle die from the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/bountiful-basket-die.html">Bountiful Basket Dies</a> worked perfectly for the poles for the clothesline. The baby clothes were colored with Copic Markers, cut with the coordinating dies and hung with the little clothespins...aren't they just the cutest. "WELCOME" was cut with the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/letter-board-dies.html">LetterBoard Dies</a> and the <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/fence-die.html">Fence</a> and grass were added across the bottom of the card. <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/scalloped-rectangles-dies.html">Scalloped Rectangle</a>, <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html">Double Stitched Rectangle</a> and <a href="https://divinitydesignsllc.com/rectangles-dies.html">Rectangle Dies</a> were used to frame the embossed sentiment to finish the card. </b></span><br />
