Graciellie Designs - Love and Friends

Hello!!

I am happy to announce that I have joined the Graciellie Designs Team! I'll be sharing a few projects each month featuring Gracie's fabulous digital stamps and papers!! Gracie's designs are so unique and pretty, I'm sure you will love them!! And using digi stamps/papers are so easy! You can check out the shop here or see Gracie's blog here for even more inspiration!!

This card features the Love & Friends digi stamp set. I use Word to resize the image along with a 4.25 x 5.5 rectangle so I could better see the size compared to a card size! After printing it out I colored it with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. I used: Jade Green Blend: JG1, JG2, JG3, Earth Brown Blend: EB1, EB2, EB3, Orange Blend: OR1, OR2, PR3, Dull Green Blend: DG3. Then I just fussy cut the image.

I also printed one of the sentiments from the set and trimmed it down to a strip. From my stash I found some orange paper that matched perfectly! I added that to a white card base.

Then I added the colored heart and flower with foam tape, along with the sentiment. Last to sparkle it up a little I added a few clear sequins!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

My card today features the Caffeinated Dino stamp set! I started by stamping the Dino and using my Spectrum Noir Markers to color her up! I used AG1, AG3, AG5, DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, IG1, IG2. Then I fussy cut her out.

Then I picked out some really old Heidi Swapp pattern paper from my stash! I just receintly went through my stash and put some things in the garage sale pile. I found some older stuff that I still like, so I'm trying to make sure to use it!!

Next, I used a My Favorite Things stencil and Nuvo Embellishment Mouse - Pure Platinum. While that dried, I though I would back my dino with a vellum circle. I cut one from a strip of card stock and I happened to lay the negative strip on my white card base, this got me thinking! When my Mouse was dry I placed the negative strip over it, placing the dino in the middle of the circle. I really liked the look, so I went with it!

I stamped the #deathbeforedecaf, heat embossing it in white. To adhere vellum I always hide it behind something, as I have yet to find an adhesive that you can't see! I scattered a few gems and added the dino with foam tape!

Okay, on to my card!! It features the Caffeinated Dino stamp set!! Its been awhile since I did some paper peicing, so I picked out some green polka dot pattern paper for my dino. Before I added the fussy cut pattern paper I colored the coffee cup and slippers with my Spectrum Noir Markers: AB1, AB2, AB3.

I used a yellow pattern for the dino's eye lid and belly. The paper I used was from Echo Park Paper Co Homegrown collection. I cut a strip of a blue pattern and added it to a white card base.

Then I stamped the coffee molecule all over  the rest of the card, but some for some I did a second stamp so some are lighter brown then others. Next, I stamped the sentiment on Kraft card stock. I added the sentiment and dino to the card with foam tape!
