Welcome to the Divinity Designs January 2019 Release

Hello, friends...Happy New Year!  There's BIG NEWS happening at Our Daily Bread Designs...as of today our new name will be Divinity Designs, LLC.  The company is teaming up with a new partner...thus the rebranding.  You can read more about all of the exciting changes over on the Divinity Designs Blog.  The first new release for 2019 by Divinity Designs is a fruity one!  

My first sample was made with the new Fruit of the Spirit stamp set and the Flourishes Embossing Folder...Yea!  Embossing Folders!

Creative Nugget:  The new Flourishes Embossing Folder was used on the background panel.  Pierced Rectangle, Pierced Circle, Circle, Fancy Circle and Double Stitched Rectangle Dies were used to cut each of the panels and paper from the Holly Jolly Collection.  The basket of apples from the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set was colored with Copic Markers.  The sentiment was stamped on banners cut with the Pennant Flag and Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies. 

My second sample was made with the new Peach Branch stamp set, the Half-Shutter Card with Layers Dies and the Belly Band Dies.

Creative Nugget:  The card base was cut with the Half-Shutter Card and Layers Dies.  The layers were created by applying Oxide inks to the new Petals Stencil, spritzing the inks with water and laying the stencil down on a heavy piece of Mixed Media paper and rubbing the back of the stencil with a paper towel.  The layers on the Belly Band were also created with Oxide inks.  The Peach Branch was colored with Copic Markers.  Pierced Oval, Oval Stitched Rows, and Layered Lacey Ovals Dies were used to frame the peaches.

The next photo shows how the Petals Stencil can also be used for embossing.

Here is the opened card:

Creative Nugget:  Lavish Layers and Pierced Rectangles Dies were used to frame the sentiment on the back panel.  The little floral embellishment was cut with dies from the new Festive Favors Die Set.

Being Fruity

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing two cards on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog using a fun new stamp set released this month by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps...Fruit of the Spirit!

I took the strawberry in the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set and dipped it in chocolate...SWEET!

Creative Nugget:  The background was created with one of the stamps in the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set and a little Glossy Accents was used to make the chocolate nice and shiny.  Add a few sprinkles in the shaker card and you have one SWEET card!

Creative Nugget:  The background on this card features the pineapple from the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set.  The splatters were made with one of the stamps in the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set.  The flamingo from the Be a Flamingo stamp set just dropped in to say, "hello!"  The letters in the sentiment are from the Sunshine Girl Alpha.  The design for this card comes from the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.

Wishing You Sunshine

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing several cards here as well as on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog using some of the new stamp sets just released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  

First up is this fruity card wishing you sunshine using the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set. 

Creative Nugget:  Distress Oxide Inks were pressed onto strips of painters tape and applied to the card front in a plaid pattern. Texture was added with one of the textures from the Texture Tile 1 stamp set.  Texture paste was then applied through the TH Sun Rays Stencil.  A frame was cut with Spellbinder Dies and the fruit from the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set was colored, cut, and applied to the frame.  Scripty Thoughts and the Sunshine Girl Alpha sets were used to make the sentiment.  

My second card was made using the Happy Scarecrow stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  Isn't this scarecrow just the cutest, most happy fellow you've ever seen?  Distress Oxide inks were applied to a panel and the leaves from the Happy Scarecrow set stamped over the colors.  The scene on the left side of the card was colored with Copic Markers.  Texture on the grassy hills was stamped using one of the texture stamps from the Texture Tiles 2 stamp set.  The sentiment was white embossed on a hand cut banner to finish the card.

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Thanks so much for stopping by...wishing you sunshine until next time.

Hugs,
