Divinity Designs - June New Release


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two projects I created using new stamps and dies from  Divinity Designs June Release.  For more inspiration using the April Release and to see the other designers projects, be sure to visit the Divinity Designs Blog.

My cards today feature two of the three new stamp sets being released today .... Color My World and America The Beautiful, the new Globe with Stand; Cascade Fold Card with Layers & USA Map die sets.



For my first card today, I have created a Cascading Card using the new Cascade Fold Card with Layers die set. As you can see I have went with a graduation theme for this card.



I die cut the Cascade Fold Card using red cardstock and then used papers from the Old Glory Paper Collection for all the layers.



On the very front of the card I added the globe section of the Globe & Stand die set. I stamped a sentiment from the Color My World stamp set which I stamped onto vellum and wrapped around the globe.

I die cut 9 mortar (graduation) hats and attached those to each of the concertina panels.

I die cut the "Grad" sentiment from the Grad die set and layered this to an oval from the Double Stitched Ovals die set and attached this to the back of the card.



This card folds flat so it can be placed in an envelope.



For my second card  today I used the new USA Map die set to create a card to help celebrate the 4th July.

After die cutting the map and adhering to a white card. I trimmed around the edge and then used a pencil to create the stripes and blue area like the flag of the USA.

I die cut white stars using the largest star from the USA Map die set and adhered them over the blue area of the map.

I used papers from the Patriotic Collection to create my card base.

The sentiment used on this card is from the America The Beautiful stamp set which I stamped onto a label die cut using the Double Pierced Vintage Labels die set.



For the inside of the card, I added paper strip cut from one of the papers from the Patriotic Collection and a sentiment from the America The Beautiful stamp set.

Class of '19


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Graduation card using some of the new Divinity Designs products from the May Release.

When I saw the Graduation hats (mortarboards), I could see them all being flung in the air once all the graduates have been given their diplomas. So for my card today I decided to create a Waving Pop-up card. The mortarboards are attached to a piece of acetate in the middle of the card so that they move when the card is opened and closed.




Here is a quick video to see my card in action.


I used the Grad die set to create this card which includes the mortarboard and all the die cut sentiments. I also used the Long and Lean Numbers for the "19" and The Future Stamp set for the stamped sentiments.


Both sentiments were layered using the Double Stitched Ovals and Ovals die sets. 



The woodgrain paper is from Divinity Designs Weathered Wood Collection. Each of the woodgrain panels were die cut using the Double Stitched Rectangles die set.


I kept the front of the card simple, seeing the focus is on the inside of the card. I added the Congratulations sentiment which is also from the Grad die set and another mortarboard.

Class of 2015


Hi everyone,

It's time for another CHF challenge over on the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog. This week the challenge is hosted by Steph


Graduations are happening everywhere at the moment (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), so for our challenge this week Steph has asked us to create a graduation card.

Cornish Heritage Farms don't have any Graduation themed stamps or digital stamps in their store, so I had to think about what I would do for this card. Fortunately I do have a Graduation themed dies. So I decided to create a flip-its card.


To decorate my card I used Cornish Heritage Farms' Gingham Backgrounder oh each side panel. This was one of the reasons I purchased my MISTI a few months ago and it really helped make stamping this background so much easier, if I had any places that didn't stamp properly I just stamped it again ... yay!

I added the Graduation Cap and Scroll to the front panel and the Class of 2015 to the right hand panel.



Here is the 'flip' side of my card. Here I have used a sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms' Script Essentials stamp set. 


Want to play along?????

If you would like to play along with us of course we would love to have you!

To play create a card using CHF images. You can use either CHF digital or rubber stamps to create a card or project ... anything you like as long as the stamps are Cornish Heritage Farms. (Yes, they can be older stamps.)

Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to the CHF blog post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to included the keyword CHF82. We can't wait to see what you create!

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a graduation card I created using Art Impression’s Wow Graduate stamp set .. the only reason I got this was because there was an owl in it which needed to come home with me haha!

For the background I used Squeezed Orange Dylusions Ink splattering it and also blowing it with a straw to get the look I wanted.
