Graciellie Designs - Authentic

Hello!!

Happy Friday!! I'm sharing a card made with Graciellie Designs new digital stamp set Authentic! Gorgeous floral and of course, some fab sentiments!!

I started by printing off the flowers, leaves and sentiments, using Word to resize everything. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color the images. Next, I fussy cut out the flowers and leaves.

For the sentiment I trimmed it into a rectangle. Then if found a cool dark pattern paper and added it to a white card base.

Then I went about arranging the flowers, leaves and sentiment. When I was happy with the placment I used Press N Seal to keep the layout while I added foam tape to the back. The Press N Seal is an awesome trick I learned from Jennifer Mcguire, check out the link for a video on how to use it!!

I used liquid adhesive to help adhere the layers (the Press N Seal holds it together nicely!) then added the foam tape so it would be popped up on the card. Last, I added a few gem stones to add some sparkle to the card!

Thanks for stopping!!

Graciellie Deisngs - It's Cake Time

Hello!!

Happy Thursday! I'm popping in with a card I made with Graciellie Designs, It's Cake Time digital stamps! I don't know about you but I can always use more birthday cards! This set has some great sentiments to go with the cake image!!

I started by adding many of the small lollipops to a Word document, making them small. I arranged them randomly. I printed that out the background I made, along with the cake image and sentiment.

Next, I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color the background and cake image. Then I fussy cut the cake and sentiment.

I added the colored background to a white card base and trimmed the over hang. Then I added a black strip of card stock with the cake and sentiment on top. Last, I added some colorful sequins!

Graciellie Designs - Color My World

Hello!!

I'm stopping by today with a card made with Graciellie Designs! A new digital stamp set Color My World is awesome!! Fabulous sentiments and a lovely paint brush!! Perfect for us crafty folk!! :)

I copied the paint brush and one sentiment in Word. The paint brush went above the sentiment, I knew it would mostly off my card. Once it was printed I colored the paint brush and the rainbow with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.

Then I trimmed the image so the panel was a little short on the sides. I added gray cardstock to a white card base and then the colored panel. Last, I added a few sparkly gem stones!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure to check out Graciellie Designs for this and many more digital stamps!!

I started by stamping the lady and waiter, then coloring them with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. Then I fussy cut them out with some sharp scissors. I also stamped the sentiment and trimmed it down to a rectangle.

Next, I die cut a circle and then used a stencil and Distress Oxide Inks to add some color to the circle. I added the circle to a white card base with foam tape.

Graciellie Designs - Your Kindness

Hello!!

I'm popping in today with a card for you!! I used a new set from Graciellie Designs called Your Kindness! It has a gorgeous flower image and sentiments!

In Word I added several copies of the flower images and made them a little bit bigger then usual! To help me better figure out how to size images I open up a box and resize it to 4.25 x 5.5. Then I play around with my images to see what size and how many I need for that particular project. Other days I just make sure the size is right and print away knowing I'm going to be cutting out the images!

Anyway, I added the flowers, layering them buy having some be behind the text. When I was happy with the placement I printed them out. I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers to color the flowers and leaves. Usually I write down the colors I use, but for some reason I didn't!

After everything was colored I trimmed the panel down to fit an A2 card and adhered it directly to it. I had printed an sentiment, but after fussy cutting it out and moving it around the panel I really didn't like it.

So, I decided to make an no sentiment card!! Instead I cut two strips of black card stock and adhered them along the bottom and left side of the card. Finally I added a few sequins for some sparkle!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Miss Ink Stamps - Java Joes

Hello!!

I'm stopping by with some great news and a special sneak peek!! There is a fab new stamp company opening later this week, its called Miss Ink Stamps! The Coffee Loving Cardmakers have teamed up with this new stamp company to show case a couple of the new stamps! Check out the CLC post here to learn more info about this awesome new company!!

My card features the Java Joes stamp set. I started by stamping the images and then using my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color them up. Then I fuss cut the images.

Next, I die cut a stitched rectangle and used Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. I started with Cracked Pistachio and then added some flicks of water. I decided it needed a bit of ground, so I placed a straight piece of card stock over the panel, using it as a mask and added Wilted violet. Then I added a little more water, it really shows up well with the purple, versus the green.

I added the coffee cafe, pot and chalkboard with foam tape and then stamped the sentiment. I trimmed it to a sentiment strip and added it with foam tape to the card. Last, I added the panel to a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure to check out Miss Ink Stamps Instagram for your chance to win this week of the new stamps available later this week!!

Graciellie Designs - Flutter Away

Hello!

I'm stopping in with a card I made using Graciellie Designs! I used a new digital stamp set called Flutter Away! These feathers are so cute and like always the set includes fabulous sentiments!!

I started with a Word document and added a few of the feather images, resizing as needed. Then I arranged them at the top as I knew I wanted them to look like they where coming in from the top of the card.

Then I added in the sentiment, resizing it to fit. I printed off the file and then trimmed it to fit a card. Next, I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color them. I went with purple, blue and a green turquoise.

To finish off the card I added a few sequins. Last, I just added my panel to a white cardbase!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
