Here’s my card for the first day of this hop. I created this slimline card using the stamp sets, die set and paper from Dare 2B Artzy, one of the Suer Sponsors.

I cut one of the polkadot pattern paper from the Home Grown Collection Variety pack using with the Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies. I added the background panel on the card with permanent adhesive.

I stamped the mug image from the Cup of Cheers Stamp Set with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, and then I colored them with Arteza alcohol markers. After the coloring I cut them with the matching mug die from the Hot Cocoa Mug Die.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Coffee & Jesus stamp set on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne. I cut the cardstock with the Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies. I trimmed half of the panel diagonally and the I added the coffee mugs on the panel. And then I added that panel on the card with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.

I used the new Spring Coffee Cup Mega Digital Stamp Set from Graciellie Design, one of the Super Sponsors. This mega digital stamp is beautiful set. I love the two styles of the coffee cups and so many sentiments that we can use.

I opened the coffee cup with flower and the sentiment label, layered them together and then I printed it on a white cardstock and I colored it with Arteza alcohol markers. After that, I fussy cut it with scissors.

I use one of the pretty coffee digital papers from the Coffee Lovers Digital Paper Pack for the backgroud. I added some Vintage Photo distress ink around the edges of the card.

I added a frame around the cup. I cut out another piece of white cardstock with the Oval Scalloped Framelit Dies from Dare 2B Artzy, who is also one of the Super Sponsor.

Dare 2B Artzy | Encouragement Slimline Card

We all experience many things in our lives that turn our life upside down but through those times we also can learn to live our lives right side up. These experiences can change our perspectives.

Today, I share this encouragement slimeline card at Dare 2B Arzy blog.

I love this sentiment quote from the Groundhog Garden stamp set which is encouraging as well. After stamping, I colored the groundhog image with ShinHan alcohol markers.

I stamped the grass image twice with green pigment ink pad and then I cut it using the matching Groundhog Garden die set.

I added the could border on top of the groundhog image and sentiment. I cut out a piece of white cardstock using the cloud border die from the Slimline Land & Cloud Border Die.

And for the frame element on this card, I used one of the pattern papers from the Home Grown Collection Variety Pack. I cut the pattern paper using two size of dies from the Rectangle Slimline Framelit Dies.

March Stencil Challenge | Foiled Background

Hello everyone!! March is here already. It is a new month and we have a new stencil challenge for you!

I use the Clustered Hearts ARTploration Stencil, Beautiful Friends Stamp Set, and Bracket Labels/Tags Nesting Dies.

For the first time, I tried the Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo with Deco Foil Transfer Sheets, Emerald Watercolor for the background.

I sprayed the stencil with iCraft Removable Pixie Spray and added the stencil on the heavyweight cardstock.

I added the transfer gel on the stencil using the pallet knife. After that I removed the stencil and let it dry for about an hour.

There are 2 ways to add the foil sheet on. First, you can run it through any diecutting machine and second way is you can run it through a laminator machine or foiling machine.

For my card, I run it through my Gemini Junior machine. After that, I pulled the foil sheet of the cardstock. It was super easy.

I added some splatters of spray paints on the background. Then I added the stamped sentiment label on the card with permanent adhesive.

I stamped and colored the potted flower with Arteza Woodless watercolor pencils and then I fussy cut it with scissors. I added it on the card with 3D foam tape.

This March Stencil Challenge at STAMPlorations is anything goes challenge. You can create any type of projects as long as you use any stencils on it.

You have until the end of the month to link up your project for a chance to win the prize! I hope to see your projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Have wonderful day!
