Hugs – Rachel Vass Designs

Hi everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and this post finds you doing well! I am back sharing a new release from Rachel Vass Designs. The newest release is adorable and contains floral jars, you can see the set here in Rachel’s ETSY shop. I chose to work with the Eucalyptus Jar stamp to create a CAS design.

I started by working with my image in Microsoft word. I do all my editing here for my digital images. If you need any help, I am happy to help! I wanted to create a slim line card using this jar. Once my image was sized I printed my images on Canson Mixed Media paper. I have found this paper to be awesome lately when working with digital images, I can color shortly after printing and it can take layers on color too! I used my arteza brush pens for my card today. When my coloring was complete I added 2 embossed stripes on the right hand panel of my card using Rose Gold powder from Ranger. I did leave off small sections of powder to create some added interest. I then added splatters of gold and brown to my card.

I chose a Hugs sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp and cut this 3x on black card stock. I glued them together for added dimension and embossed them using the same Rose Gold powder. I then adhered my card panel to a black slim line card base and glued down my hugs sentiment as well. I added a sentiment from the new release as well to the inside of my card.

This completes my card for today! I hope you will visit Rachel’s ETSY shop to see this new release, plus many other beautiful stamps!

Supplies Used:

  • Stamps: Jars Stamp – Rachel Vass Designs
  • Coloring Medium: Arteza Brush Pens
  • Paper: canson Mixed Media Paper, Recollections 110 lb for card base

Happy Mother’s Day – Graciellie Design

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a good week! I am back sharing the newest release from Graciellie Design – Happy Mother’s Day! This set is beautiful, it has 2 beautiful floral images and 8 different sentiments included in this release!

I started by printing my image on Nennah solor 80 lb card stock. For my coloring today I used my alcohol markers. This is a coloring medium I want to work on for myself, so I thought this is the perfect set to do this. I used a variety of shades for each section of the image. Once my coloring was done I added a bit of color to the nooks and crannies as well. I then used my Brother Scan and cut to fussy cut the image. I then added WOW embossing powder to different sections of the floral image using Fairy Dust embossing powder. I love the added shine of this powder!

I then used an embossing folder from Jo Ann Fabrics to create the panel background for my card base. I foam mounted both my sentiment and floral cluster and my card was complete! I hope you will visit Graciellie Design shop to see the beautiful new release and more!

Have a great weekend and stay healthy!

Plant Hope – Unity Stamp Company

Hi everyone! Welcome back! I am excited to share a beautiful new digi stamp release from Unity Stamp Company. It is called Plant Hope! This set is beautiful. When you purchase this set you will have access to the individual image and sentiments, as well as pre-made card panels! These are perfect for coloring, foiling, and sending out a little happy mail! You can see this release, as well as the other new digi releases at Unity Stamp Company.

To begin I started by using a pre made card panel. I started by printing this on Canson Mixed Media paper. I have loved this paper for my digital images lately and using my water based markers. For this card I used my Tombow brush pens. When I do work with digi stamp sets I do work directly in Microsoft word. I have found it to work very well. I am happy to help with that as well, feel free to ask my any questions.

When I use my water based markers I always tape down my paper onto a board or clipboard, to prevent warping. I used many different colors for today’s project. I love color and bright flowers! I had fun mixing colors to create these blooms.

When I was done coloring I used my metallic water colors to add splatter. Adding splatter to my cards is one of my favorite details to add! I then set this aside to dry. Once my panel was dry, I used a Hero Arts die to trim the panel. I started by trimming to a full A2 sized card panel. I then chose another die (2 sizes) smaller to trim the panel one more time. I then glued the middle section onto a foam base. I then glued both parts to my card base.

What is your favorite detail to add to a card?
