Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing three more cards using stamps, dies and papers from the Divinity Designs April 2022 Blessings Box.
For my first card today I have a Z Fold Card using Divinity Designs Z Fold Card with Layers die set.
I used patterned paper from the Sunset Skies Slimline Sized Paper Pad to add the layers to each of the various panels.
I decorated each of the panels using the Beach Silhouettes die set, die cutting each of the images from black cardstock.
I used three of the sentiments from the Mahola Stamp set to add to my card.
I die cut the "No Worries!" sentiment using one of the sentiment strips from the Sentiment Strips die set. The larger sentiment on the last panel is die cut using the Double Stitched Circles and Circles die sets.
The sentiment on the front panel is die cut using one of the pennants from the Double Stitched Pennants die set.
I added more images to the panels using the Beach Silhouettes die set. The palm tree of the right panel is ahead behind the one on the front panel so it can only be seen when you open the card. This meant I had to use the back side of the die for this particular image
For my second card, I created a square card using the Square Card Base with Layer die set. I added the Tropical Leaf Square Background die which I die cut from green cardstock. I layered this over a square panel of patterned paper using the Tropical Brights Paper Pad.
I used the Aloha sentiment which I added to the top left corner of the card.
For my final card I create a A2 Card using the A2 Card Base with Layer die set.
The inspiration for the colours used on this card was a background of a message I saw on Facebook recently. I loved the look so tried to replicate it on my card. I used the Monstera Layering Combo die set to die cut the layered dies in various colours and layered them up.
I white embossed the birthday sentiment to the lower right hand corner of my card using one of the sentiments included in the Mahola stamp set.
 Hi Crafty Friends, I have a floral foiled birthday card to share with you today using stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil plates from Pinkfresh Studio. For the background of my card I used the Geo Tiles Hot Foil Plate which I foiled onto white cardstock using silver foil. I then used the coordinating stencils to add colour to the background using Distress Oxide inks. I layered this background onto a top folding white A2 card base. I used the Nested Diamonds Hot Foil Plates and coordinating dies to create the silver foiled diamond shape in the centre of my card. I also used the Solid Hot Foil Plate so I could get the negative image of the diamond. I used the dies to die cut the diamond around the outer frame and the inner. I then backed this using white cardstock that I coloured using Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink. For the flowers, I used Pinkfresh Studio's In the Meadow stamp set with coordinating stencils and dies. I coloured the flowers using inks from Catherine Pooler Designs. After die cutting the flowers I adhered them around the diamond frame. I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment using the Fancy Script Words Hot Foil set and coordinating dies. I foiled the sentiment using black foil to match the black outline of the flowers. I layered the sentiment three times and adhered to the middle of the flowers. To finish off the front of the card I added silver metallic pearls.
For the inside of the card, I added another of the flower images included in the In the Meadow stamp set.
I added a birthday sentiment using an older Stampendous Birthday Wish stamp set.

My card today uses three of the new die sets being release ... Landscape Rectangle Accordion; Mini Alphabet and Numbers and Short Rectangles - Crosshatch. One of the very first dies I purchased when I first discovered Karen Burniston's products many years ago was an accordion die. So I was excited to see that Karen has added a new one to her collection ... the Landscape Rectangle Accordion die set, which is Mini Slimline sized. I die cut the main accordion page die from green cardstock and also from patterned paper and decorated the pages.
I used the monkey from the Monkey and Lion die set which I used to decorate the first page of my accordion card. For the to end pages I used the smaller square dies included in the Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die set to add my monkeys and stamped sentiment.
The "Go Bananas!" sentiment uses the new Mini Alphabet and Numbers die set. This set included the main alphabet and a shadow for each of the letters/numbers. I also added a couple more bananas from the Monkey and Lion die set. For the centre page I also used one of the rectangles from the Short Rectangles - Crosshatch die set to die cut the patterned paper and layered to the panel. I love how you can change the look of this card by either using the smaller squares or adding a rectangle instead. I added a birthday sentiment to one of the small squares using an older stamp set.
Here is a look at the front of my card when it is closed, ready to be placed in an envelope.
I added banana bunches to each of the corners for some added interest.
Well that is about it from me today, thank you for dropping by. To continue on the blog hop, click on the next person on the list which is the wonderful Kelly Booth

 Hi Crafty Friends, I have lots to share with you today as it is time for Divinity Designs May 2022 Release. This time around Divinity Designs are releasing four stamp/die duo sets; two Slimline die sets; two die sets; two foil/die duo sets and two foil plates.
First up I am sharing a Slimline card I created using three of the new products. To create the slimline portion of the card I used the new Slimline Pierced Large Windows die along with the Slimline Card Base and Slimline Rectangles die sets. For the background on the light blue panel, I used the Waves Foil Plate and blue foil to foil the panel. As the slimline panel is longer than the foil plate, I position the foil and foil plate at the end of the card panel and foiled that section. I then carefully positioned the foil plate and foil so it lined up at the edge of the previous foiled to foil the remaining portion of the panel. I die cut this panel using the Slimline Layering Rectangles and adhered it to my Slimline card base. I added the dinosaurs and sentiments using the Dinosaurs Stamp/Die Duo set.
Next I created another Slimline card, this time in a landscape orientation. I used the new Slimline Pierced Petals Background die to die cut the pink panel on my card. This is such a beautiful design. I then used the Slimline Rectangles and Slimline Card Base to create my card. To decorate, I used flowers from the Beautiful Blossoms Set 2 Paper/Die Duo, these are pre coloured images. I love how easy it is to create beautiful cards with these flowers. For the sentiment added the "Happy Birthday" sentiment which is gold foiled using the All Occasions Foil/Die Duo set. If you aren't into foiling, there is also a Stamp/Die Duo set available which included exactly the same sentiments.
For the inside of my card I added two more of the flowers and leaves from the Beautiful Blossoms Set 2 Paper/Die Duo set. I also added another foiled sentient using the All Occasions Foil/Die Duo set.
For my final card today, I created an A2 card using the new Pierced Waves Background die. This background was layered onto a green rectangle die cut using the Matting Rectangle die and then onto an A2 card which was die cut using the A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer die set.
I decorated the card using flowers from the Beautiful Blossoms Set 3 Paper/Die Duo set The sentiment is from the Bold Blessings Stamp/Die Duo set. If you are into foiling, there is also a Foil/Die Duo set available.
For the inside of my card, I added more of the flowers and another sentiment. 
 Hi Crafty Friends,
It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Kelly Santi our challenge hostess for the month, continues to issue the challenges.
Apparently today is National Foam Roller Day - show us your cards using any rolled technique! Paper rolling, brayers, marbles - and have fun!
It's been a long while since I have had to pull out my brayer, so it was good to be able to use it for my card I am sharing today. A few weeks ago, Jennifer McGuire shared a technique of using a cover plate to dry emboss a background and then use a brayer and white ink to apply ink to the embossed areas which then leaves the debased areas the original color, while the embossed portion of the card was a softer color.
It's probably hard to tell by the photo, but that is what I did for my card today. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Hearts and Stars Coverplate to dry emboss the pink panel. I then used my brayer to add white pigment ink over the top.
I cut down my background panel using a stitched rectangle die and then layered this onto a dark pink rectangle panel and then onto a side folding A2 Card.
Butterflies seem to be very popular this year, with a fair few companies releasing butterfly stamps, dies, hot foil plates etc. I must admit I have added a few to my stash this year, including Bibi Cameron's Butterfly Collection she designed for Spellbinders. For this card I used Spellbinders Delicate Butterflies die set to create the three butterflies that I added to the front of the card.
I added a "thinking of you" sentiment from a stamp set from Gina K Designs.
As you can see by the photo above, I created a pop up card using Bibi Cameron's Pop-up Butterfly die set. I used dark pink cardstock to add the pop-up butterfly. I then used two of the smaller butterflies from the Delicate Butterflies die set which I attached to the wings of the pop-up one.
I used the Pinkfresh Studio's Coverplate to dry emboss another panel, I trimmed this down and then added to each side of my card.
I added flowers using dies from the Butterfly Card Creator die set to the upper right hand corner of my card.
For the sentiment I used a butterfly themed sentiment using a sentiment included in Gina K Designs' Spread Your Wings stamp set.
