Graciellie Desings - Hang In There

Hello!!

I hope everyone is doing good!! I was off from work (I work in a local hospital lab) for a couple days and I took these days and the weekend to clean my desk and start putting my stamps in a database. My mojo has been in a slump lately and this really helped me get it back! Sunday creating was so much fun!

Graciellie Designs has a new stamp set called Hang In There, a great one for the times we are living in! With my mojo back I actually made two cards, today I'm sharing one, so stay tuned later this week for the other.

I started this card with the wood and flower image and added the hang in there sentiment. I printed it from Word and then used my Spectrum Noir Colored Pencils to color it. Then I fussy cut the image out.

Next, I pulled out Crafter's Companion Clamshell Horizon die and used it to cut some black card stock. I didn't use my Gemini, rather my manual die cutting machine so the die didn;t cut all the way through, which is what I wanted. More of an impression then a cut.

I trimmed the panel and adhered it to an orange card base. Then I added the colored image with foam tape. From my stash I adhered a few orange rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Graciellie Designs - Far Away Hugs

Hello!!

Happy Friday!! Today I am sharing a card featuring a NEW digital stamp set from Graciellie Designs! It's called Far Away Hugs and has a gorgeous flower and lots of sentiments!!

I added a couple leaves and a flower to a Word document, then resized the flower, making it very big. Then I arranged the flower and leaves around until I was happy with it. For a sentiment I added Far Away Hugs.

Next, I colored the image with my Copic markers, doing a loose and fast coloring. I used a stitched rectangle to cut out the image and sentiment. Then I fussy cut the bottom of the image.

I added kraft card stock to the bottom of the image, then layered that on a black card base. From my stash I added a few matching rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make to stop by Graciellies shop to pick up this wonderful set and check out the free weekly gift!!

Graciellie Designs - Angels in Disguise

Hello!!

Today I'm popping in with two cards I used with NEW Graciellie Designs digital stamps!! The set is called Angels in Disguise, perfect for the way the world is right now! I used the female image, but never fear there is a male version in the set too!!

I made two cards with this set because I wanted to show how diversified digi's and this set is!! My first card uses the image as it is in the set, I just added a sentiment below it and printed it out. If you or someone you know is not religious, like me, sending a secular card can still be done with set! I printed out the image and a sentiment, colored it and then fussy cut the nurses head without the hands and wings.

For my first card the image was printed with the sentiment, then colored with my Crafter's Companion Colour Blend pencils. I used a stitched rectangle to cut out the image and sentiment.

From my stash I found some gold vellum like paper that I added to a white card base and then added the stitched rectangle. Last, I added a three pearls at the bottom. I went a little more elegant and less is more with these cards!

With my second card I printed and colored with the same colored pencils mentioned above. I fussy cut the head of the nurse and trimmed the sentiment. From my stash I found a rectangle that I had used a stencil with transparent paste and glitter. I adhered it to a white card base.

Next, I cut a white stitched rectangle and adhered the colored image and sentiment with foam tape. Then I adhered the small panel to the glitter paste with foam tape.  Again, I was going more elegant and thought the sparkly background was enough embellishment!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope every one stays healthy and safe, at home!!

My card features the Sweet Memories digital stamp set. I pasted the camera in a Word document along with a sentiment from the set. Then I resized them both and printed them out.

My first card features Hey Beautiful from Gracielle Designs and Celebration Sparkles from Wow Embossing Powder.  To start I opened Word and pasted the flower and leaves, then resized them.

Next, I printed them out and colored the flower with my Copic markers. I fussy cut the flowers and leaves. For a sentiment I used one from Retro Hello that I had already printed but never used.

For my background I mixed the Celebration glitter and clear transparent paste together. Then with Funky Fossil Nouveau Tile stencil I slathered on my glitter paste! I've been using glitter with the transparent paste a few times now and I am really liking it!! A great way to use glitter that you already have! I have found that the more shiny the glitter the better the result!!

After the paste was dry, I adhered the flower and leaves with liquid adhesive. Then I trimmed up the sentiment a little and adhere that to the card.

Graciellie Designs - Coffee Is Life

Hello and Happy Monday!!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using a brand new Graciellie Designs digital stamp set!! If you are a coffee fan this set is a must have!! Lots of images and great sentiments!!

I started by adding one of the cluster images to a Word document. Then I picked out a sentiment and added it to the coffee cup. I printed it out and then used my Copic markers to color it up!

Next, I pulled out some pretty pattern paper that matched and cut some of it in strips. I was going more toward a clean and simple card! The strips where not the all the same size, but I adhered them to a white card base.

Then I fussy cut the image and added it to the card base with foam tape. Last I adhered a few black rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
