Happy Saturday!  Each month, the Divinity Designs team is challenged to create a project with a new color combo.  This month's colors were inspired by those found in The Christmas Collection 2019 paper pad!

 I'm a fan of non-traditional Christmas colors or variations of red/green.  These beautiful colors screamed Christmas to me!

 For my card, I started by cutting lime green cardstock with the Half Shutter Card with Layers dies for the card base.  Using the layers dies in the set, I cut papers from The Christmas Collection 2019 paper pad.  On the back panel, I cut pink paper from the pad with one of the Scallop Circle dies for a backdrop to the Merry Christmas Stamp/Die Duo (poinsettia).  I love this large poinsettia stamp!

On the front of the card, I used papers from the same pad cut with the Peaceful Poinsettia dies and Pine Branch dies.

To finish, I added the sentiment using the Merry Christmas Caps dies and black cardstock.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

Divinity Designs Cocoa & Coffee Christmas

Have I shared how excited I am about Divinity Designs September release?!!  Cocoa and Coffee...it's like Christmas to me!

For my card, I cut a pattern from the Patriotic Collection Paper Pad and adhered to the card base.  Using one of the Squares Dies, I cut a red striped pattern from the new America The Beautiful Paper Pad and cut brown paper from the Latte Love paper pad using one of the Scalloped Squares Dies.

I then used the new Cocoa and Coffee Dies to create the festive cups of cocoa!  To finish, I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Perk Up Stamp/Die Duos and cut it into a rectangle using the Rectangles Dies and Scalloped Rectangles Dies.

Sending Happy Thoughts

Intrigued?  Then stop over to the Reverse Confetti blog to see the entire project I'm sharing today!!  See you there!

 

 

Forever In My Heart

I can't recall what I did yesterday, but eighteen years ago today at approx. 9 am, I know exactly where I was.  I came out of our weekly Tuesday operations meeting and the office was eerily quiet.  It wasn't long before someone said, "a plane hit the World Trade Center".   With shock and disbelief, I called my mom to see if she heard anything from our family in NY - three of my cousins worked a block from there (thank God, they were safe. However, one of my cousins, a police officer, passed away last year from lung problems stemming from 9/11). 

I will forever in my heart pray for and remember... those who lost their lives that day - and since; the strength, tenacity and incredible courage of the NYFD, NYPD, and my fellow New Yorkers; the resilience of those at the Pentagon; and the ultimate sacrifice and incredible bravery of the passengers and crew of Flight 93.  Never forget.

For my card, I first layered a strip of pattern paper from the Summer Splash paper pad and stamped a sentiment from the Forever In My Heart set.  I then cut purple cardstock using one of the Reverse Rectangles Dies to form a frame.  

 The flowers and jar are from the Pretty Jars set and the sentiment is from Forever In My Heart cut with one of the Sentiment Strip dies.

While nothing will make the events of 9/11 'better', there were extraordinary heroics and a 'coming together' for the good of many that day and in the days following. May we all project positive vibes for peace today and in the future.

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember: Reverse Confetti

Reverse Confetti is thrilled to be part of Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember celebration!!  

Our exclusive set, Wonderful You, is elegant and versatile.  Perfect for all seasons and all occasions!

For my card, I began by cutting Premier Cloud White cardstock with the new Stitched Circles Cover Panel from the new Holiday Release.  I then cut Dark Roast cardstock using the See Through Tag die, slipped the Wonderful You leaves through the top opening and placed the circle cut from the center of the tag off to the side.

 I stamped the sentiment onto Bumblebee cardstock cut from one of the Tag Duo dies and cut off the one end.  The sentiments in this set are wonderful and the font is so cool!

How sweet are these little angels looking over the Lord's manger?!  The new Joyous Holiday set has so many darling images!  For my card, I cut Navy cardstock with the new All the Stars die and placed shiny gold cardstock behind the openings.  I then used the Tall Triangles die to cut shiny gold cardstock and used one of the triangles as a 'beam of light'.  The images were copic colored and the sentiment was gold embossed on Midnight cardstock.

Every year, I promise myself that I will made all my gift tags and with these new goodies, I'll be able to keep that promise!

The new Rounded Stitched Window die is really versatile!  I decided to used it to create these fun tags along with the new Joys of the Season stamps/dies - aren't they the perfect holiday icon images?!  The sentiment in this set is wonderful, too!

You're going to love the new This & That paper pad which I used a few of the patterns for the insides of my tags.

Tomorrow's the big day!! Are you ready?  What's on your wish list?  Come back tomorrow for more inspiration from the DT and special guests!

Halloween Gnomes?  Yaaasss!  This adorable set creates such fun Halloween scenes.  For my card, I cut Premier Polar White cardstock for the base then scoring one side in half to create a z-fold card.  Using the new All The Stars die, I cut the top half of the card and placed purple glitter paper behind the openings.

I then cut and copic colored the images, used the tree die to cut Midnight cardstock and created this scene.  The new Trick or Treat word die adds the perfect touch!

I am excited that Fall is on it's way and the new With a Thankful Heart set really makes me feel warm all over!

For my card, I first layered Lime Green cardstock onto the card base then created a background with distress oxide inks.  This gorgeous pumpkin was copic colored.  I made a coordinating envelope using one of the floral sprays and stamped the 'deliver to' from the Happy Mail set.

Come back tomorrow for more inspiration and sneak peeks!

For my card, I cut Dark Roast cardstock with the new Stitched Circles Cover die and adhered to the card base.  Using the new Square Window Tag, I cut Sand and Premier Polar White cardstock then stamped one of the sentiments from the new Sentimentally Yours sentiment set.

I love the new Peony stamp set and coordinating dies!  I gold embossed the flower and leaves/sprigs then watercolored the images.
