Graciellie Design New Release | Words of Hope

Hello everyone! Thank Goodness It’s Friday!!! And…. I have a card to share with you all with my favorite flower, orchid.

It is the new digital stamp from Graciellie Design, “Words of Hope” Digital Stamp Set.

I like to use the Print-and-Cut feature with Silhouette Studio software to work with digital stamps. But you can work with Gracie’s digital stamps with any Word processing program such as Microsoft Word or Pages.

After I resized the images on the Silhouette Studio, I tuned Print-and-Cut Mark and then I printed the images and sentiment on a white cardstock with Laser Jet printer.

I put the printed cardstock on the cutting mat, loaded it to my Silhouette Cameo 3 machine, then I sent the design to cut. Then, I colored the orchid with Arteza Woodless Watercolor Pencils and waterbrush. I dried the watercolor paint with craft heater.

I also used Gracie’s Magnolia Dreams SVG Cut File for the border background. I cut the design with the Cameo 3 machine too.

I used silver glitter cardstock as the mat background that I added it on the white card wit permanent adhesive. Then, I added the border on top of the card with permanent adhesive glue. I added the watercolored orchid and sentiment label with 3D foam tape.

I embelished the card with some white pearl gems.

Clear Scraps | Peace Tall and Slim Card

Hello crafty friends! Today, I would like to share with a tall and slim card. It has been a while I haven’t made this type of card and I had fun making this one.

This month, Clear Scraps is having a cross promo with TapeRunner. And today is my turn. On Clear Scraps Blog, I am sharing step-by-step tutorial how to make this Peace tall and slim card using the Fern Branch Chipboard Shape Embellishment and 6″ Fruit of the Spirit Stencil.

I cut out the tall and slim card base using Silhouette Cameo 3. For the background mat, I trimmed a piece of scrapbook paper into 3″ x 8 7/8″ and then I distressed one edge of the paper with my distresser tool (if you don’t have this tool, you can also use scissors, but be very careful!). I added the paper on the card with the TapeRunner.

I taped the 6″ Fruit of the Spirit Stencil on the card using painter tape. I also taped around the word and then using make up sponge, I added the two shades of green VersaFine Clair Pigment Inks on the card. I removed the stencil to clean the ink of the stencil.

I dried the pigment ink on the card with craft heater, then I added some anti-static powder on it. I taped stencil back on the card. Using the Ranger Embossing Dauber, I added the clear embossing ink on the word. I removed the stencil carefully of the card and sprinkled some of the Ranger Fine Clear Embossing Powder on the word, then heat set the powder with craft heater.

I cut the Fern Branch Chipboard Shape Embellishment with scissors of its frame. Using the same embossing dauber, I covered the chipboard surface with the clear embossing ink. I put the inked fern branch on top of a coffee filter, and then sprinkled the WOW! Trio Bundled Up Embossing Glitter (Sage) on it. I poured the whole jar on it to make sure it was covered well with the embossing powder. I tapped off the embossing powder on the coffee filter and I pour the rest of the embossing powder inside the jar.

I preheated my craft heater for couple seconds and then heat set the embossing powder. It was super fun to watch the embossing powder melt on the chipboard. I added the embossed fern branch on the card with the TapeRunner. And then, I embellished the card with some pearl gems I have in my stash.

Hope you like this one and find an inspiration to create today. Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have wonderful day!

Anything Goes With Dies | Thank You CAS Card Set

Hello everyone! It is time for a new challenge. Today, I have this set of thank you card to share with you all.

I choose CAS style and stay with simply black-and-white colors so it also can be masculine cards. This is a quick card to make in less than 10 minute.

On these cards, I use the older flower stamp and die kit from Hero Arts, so does the sentiment stamp and die set.

I stamp the flowers and sentiments using VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad and diecutting using my Gemini Junior machine.

I added the flower on the card with permanent glue adhesive and popped up some of the petals with 3D foam tape. I added the die cut thanks sentiment word with 3D foam tape.

I hope you all find an inspiration to create today. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Have a wonderful day!
