Hi everyone! I am back with another beautiful stamp from Alex Syberia. This one is called Happy Flowers! This stamp sure does make me happy! For this card I wanted to create a bright flower to help remind me that spring is coming! You can find this beautiful digi stamp in Alex’s shop, as well as many beautiful other stamps in her collection! This stamp is part of her new release! https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexSyberiaDesign I can’t wait to share 3 more cards with you as a part of Alex’s guest design for her new release!

I started by printing my stamp on Bristol smooth card stock. I then started to color my stamp using Tombow Dual brush pens. I used a pink, orange, and yellow for this flower. Once the flower was dry, I used colored pencils to add more dimension to the nooks and crannies. I truly love adding pencils to my coloring now! I hope you like it too! For the center of my flower I used a combination of Nuvo drops, as well as perfect pearls.

I then added splatter to my card base over my flower image. I used a combination of gold and pink splatter. I then chose a sentiment (You’re the Best) from Ranger. I heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder and adhered this to my card using foam tape.

I added a piece of pink card stock to the base and adhered my card together! I hope you enjoy this design! A huge thank you to Alex for having me be a part of this release! I am very thankful!

Craft Supplies Used:

• Stamps: Happy Flower (Alex Syberia Design), Ranger
• Paper: Bristol smooth
• Coloring Medium: Tombow Dual Brush pens

Hi everyone! I am excited for a collaboration with 2 of my fellow Graciellie Designs team mates Sandhya Iyer and Angie Cimbalo. For this collaboration we chose to use the beautiful Love and Friends stamp set. https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/love-friends-digital-stamp-set/ This set has a beautiful grapevine wreath with a gorgeous floral. The sentiments in this set are so pretty as well.

I started by printing my image and sentiment on Tonic Studios alcohol marker paper. I was eager to try out my new Altenew Artist Markers for this project. I am learning how to color with these markers, I have a long way to go, but it is fun to learn new coloring mediums. I use the shades of purple set for the floral image. Once the image was completed I added shades of a deep purple and blue to the nooks and crannies for extra dimension. For the leaves I used greens from Tonic studios, Nuvo Alcohol marker pens. For the grapevine wreath I used 2 copic brown colors. Wow… I sure do have a mix of alcohol markers! But I guess it works….. To complete my card I used Nuvo glitter drops and metallic water color splatter, along with some gold sequins.

I would love it if you would stop by Sandhya’s blog to see how she used this set! https://wp.me/paiTWP-JE Then be sure to stop by Angie’s blog to see another wonderful idea for this beautiful set! https://cimbacreativefun.blogspot.com/2020/02/always-love-you-with-graciellie-designs.html We would love to see what you make with this set!

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,
