Hi everyone! Hope your weekend is off to a great start! We had a snowstorm over the last couple of days, so I spent my time inside! I was able to craft with the new release from Graciellie Design – A Cup of Love! https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/a-cup-of-love-mega-digital-stamp-set/ I wanted to create a cup of coffee/hot cocoa with some yummy sprinkled whipped cream! I went for a glittery cup, I hope you like it! This set has an adorable cup of coffee, cookie shaped hearts, and adorable sentiments!

I started by printing my digital images on alcohol marker friendly card stock, today I chose to work with the Tonic Studios card stock. I then colored all of my images using Arteza Everblend alcohol markers. Once my images were all colored, I cut them out using my Brother scan and cut. I then used an embossing folder (Provo Craft) hearts background on white card stock. I then mounted all my images using foam tape. I added a combination of stickles to the whipped cream. I wanted a glittery cup… as well as to the sprinkles on the cookies. I added a few sequins for added sparkle. I added my sentiment and my card was complete! I hope you like it!

Supplies Used:

• Stamps: A Cup of Love (digital stamps) Graciellie Design
• Paper: Tonic Studios
• Coloring Medium: Arteza Everblend Alcohol Markers
• Other supplies: Hearts embossing folder, stickles, and sequins

Have a nice weekend! Crafty Hugs,

Hi Everyone! I am super excited to share with you my first card as a guest designer for Alex Syberia! I have been a huge fan of her work for awhile now! Her coloring just blows my mind, it’s truly GORGEOUS! A huge thank you to Alex for having me be a part of her release! You can find all the beautiful new stamps at her Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexSyberiaDesign

For my first card I chose the stamp A beautiful Clematis. I am such a fan of flowers, so I couldn’t wait to ink this one up! I started by printing my images on Bristol smooth cardstock. I love this paper for stamping when I am coloring with my zig clean color brush markers. I chose a variety of shades of pink. For the leaves I used a combination of greens and blues. I love adding in a deep blue in the nooks and crannies. I then cut out the image using my Brother scan and cut.

I then used another piece of Bristol smooth card stock for my A2 panel. I wanted to create an ink blended background. I used a combination of Antique Linen and Shaded Lilac. I then used drops of water and perfect pearls on the background as well. For my sentiments I chose a friend die from Simon Says stamp and The Gray Muse (amazing sentiment). I added some sequins from Trinity stamps for added shine.

Supplies Used:

• Stamps: Alex Syberia (digital stamps) https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexSyberiaDesign
• Simon Says stamp die, The Gray Muse
• Coloring Medium: Zig Clean Color Brush Markers, Distress Oxide Ink
• Other: Perfect Pearls, Trinity Stamps sequins

Wishing you a great weekend! Crafty Hugs,

Hi everyone! I hope you had a GREAT weekend! Did you watch the Super Bowl? I didn’t watch it, but I did watch the half time show! That is my favorite part! I did enjoy some yummy super bowl food though! I hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a good start! This weekend Graciellie Design’s released a beautiful new bundle… Family Love, it truly is GORGEOUS! I couldn’t wait to begin my 2nd card with this gorgeous release! https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/family-love-digital-stamp-bundle/

I started my printing the digital image on bristol smooth cardstock! This is my favorite card stock for water brush markers! I loved this image with the 2 iris flowers. I chose different shades of pink for this card, I used a light, medium, and a dark in the nooks and crannies. I did add extra color using colored pencils to darker highlight areas. I used a combination of greens for the leaves. I then die cut the flower image using my scan and cut machine. I chose 2 different sentiments from this bundle for my card. I love all the different sentiments in this set! They are so pretty!

I then chose a stencil from Hero Arts for the base of my card panel. I chose a bright blue to compliment the pink in the flowers. I adhered the stenciled background to my card and used foam tape to mount the flowers, as well as the sentiments! I encourage you to give digital images a try! They are so fun to work with! I love that I can resize them and even layer them! I am happy to help if you need! Have a great week!
