More info about the prizes, visit STAMPlorations Blog!

My card I created using one of the gorgeous Free Digital Stamps from STAMPlorations. They are available for you to download here, limited time!

I printed the digital stamp on a white cardstock with inkjet printer. I printed it the night before so the ink will dry completely. Or you can also print it and dry the ink with craft heater before you color it to avoid smearing.

I colored the printed image with Metallic and Glitter Gel Pens. It is so fun using these gel pens. I tried blending two colors with gel pens and they worked! The trick is the colors need to blend right away while they are still wet.

I colored the letters with Black ShinHan Alcohol Marker and then I used Ocean Mist Copic Marker to add light shadow all around the flower bouquet.

I stamped the butterflies from Brave One Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink Pad on a white cardstock with Mini MISTI. I colored them with gel pens also. After that I fussy cut them with scissors.

And… for extra glitter… I used Spectrum Noir Sparkles Clear Brush on all the images. Can you see all that glitter shines???

I added a heart patterned paper on an A2 White Card base and then I added the finished colord digital image right on top of the card. And the I added those butterflies with micro-glue dots for extra dimension.

I hope this card sparks some idea for you today. Before you go… check out the Special Sale Event at STAMPlorations Store!!!

Clear Scraps | DIY Love Chipboard Wreath

Hello everyone… It’s time to change the decoration from Winter theme to Love theme becuase the Valentine’s Day is less than a month from today.

I am sharing this project on the Clear Scraps Blog today with all the details how to make it.

On this Love Wreath, I use the new Clear Scraps – Love Large Chipboard Embellishment. For the wreath base, I used a paper mache wreath base that I wrapped it with burlap ribbon. I used glue gun to secure the ribbon on the wreath base.

I used scrapbook paper to dress up the chipboard letters. And I used the Beacon Zip Dry Glue to add the scrapbook paper on the letters. I used craft sanding block to distress the edges of the chipboard letters. And I had some of these pompom ribbons and paper flowers in my stash to use on the wreath, too.

There are LOTS of new amazing products on the Clear Scraps Store that are released this month. I promise you will LOVE them!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a fabulous day!

Stencil Challenge | Winter Birthday Wishes

Hello everyone! We are about half way through January and I still don’t want to put down our Christmas tree but we really have to… LOL… LOL… LOL! Today, I am here not talking about Christmas tree but I wanna share a winter birthday card.

I created the background on my card using the Flowers 2 ARTplorations Stencil. I taped the stencil on top of a Rinea – Sapphire/Gold Foil Paper. And then using the blending brush, I added the Rinea – Ghost Ink on it.

I let the ink to dry for about a minute and then I wiped it off with Wet Ones wipe. You also can use baby wipes or alcohol swap.

I trimmed the foil paper into 4” x 5 1/2” and then added it on top of an A2 white card base with Scrapbook Adhesive EZ Gran Runner.

I love how those flowers look on the foil paper! And I keep this card as clean and simple by simply adding the sentiment on it.

I cut out a heavyweight white cardstock using the Birthday Wishes Phrase Die and I added on the card with 3D foam tape.

That’s my clean-and-simple Winter Birthday Wishes Card for today. And a reminder that you still have time to play along with the January Stencil Challenge. Don’t forget to use any stencils you have on your project to be eligible to enter the giveaway. You can create any type of projects!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a womderful day!

Beautiful Day | Poppy Flower Shaped Card

Hello everyone… Happy Friday and I hope you all have a beautiful day today. I am here and wanna share a shaped card that I created with digital stamp, digital paper, and svg cutting file.

I use this new Beautiful Day Bundle Digital Stamp from Graciellie Design. This digital stamp bundle is packed with 23 high quality PNG images that you can modify as needed for any kind of projects you want to make. Those poppy flowers and clusters are so gorgeous! The sentiments are also lovely and sweet with fabulous choices of fonts. For this new release, this new bundle stamp is on SALE at her store.

I had a fun time creating this Poppy flower shaped card with this digital stamp. I open the flower PNG file on the Silhouette Studio. And then I used the Trace Tool to create the outline cutting line of the flower. After that, I used the Offset Tool to create the offset cutting line that is slightly bigger than original flower.

Next, I created 2 – 4.25″ x 5.5″ rectangles. One of them I used to weld the flower shape as the front of the card. Then, I welded both the front card and the other rectangle to crate the whole card. I cut it with my Silhouette Cameo 3.

Next, I printed and cut the flower with Silhouette Cameo 3, too. I colored the flower with ShinHan Alcohol Markers and then I added a layer of glitter with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Clear. I let it sit to dry.

I cut out the word Friend, one of the words from the Coffee Lovers SVG Files using White cardstock and then I colored it with Spectrum Noir Sparkles Brush Black. I let it sit aside to dry.

When the flower and sentiment word dried, I added them on the front of the card. I used 3D foam for the flower and I used permanent adhesive glue for the word sentiment.

For the inside card, I printed one of the Rustic Wood Digital Papers on a white cardstock. I trimmed it and then added it on the inside card with Scrapbook Adhesives EZ Runner.

I printed several of the sentiments from this Beautiful Day Bundle Digital Stamp on a white cardstock. I trimmed one of them into sentiment banner and then I added it inside the card with Scrapbook Adhesives EZ Runner.

I hope you all have a beautiful day! Thank you so much for stopping by today.
