A Christmas Hello

Graciellie Design

Hello everyone… I am back with another Christmas card to share with you all that I created using digital stamp and digital papers.

On my card today, I used the A Christmas Hello Digital Stamp and Holiday Traditional Digital Paper Pack from Graciellie Design.

I resized and arranged the poinsettia and pinecone images using Photoshop software. And then I printed it on a heavyweight cardstock in black and white. I did the same with the sentiment.

I dried the printed image with craft heater and then I colored them with Arteza Real Brush Pens and Waterbrush. I dried it again with craft heater and then I added some Gold Gel Pen.

I added some Gold Splatters on the background using Finetec Gold Palette Watercolor Paints and waterbrush.

Next, I trimmed the finished panel to fit on the 5.5 x 7 white card. I added the stripes patterned paper at the bottom of the card, and then I added the watercolored panel on the top of the card using adhesive glue.

I trimmed sentiment into a banner and I added it on the right top of the card with 3D foam tape.

I hope you all enjoy this card today and thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Cheers For This Wonderful Season

Graciellie Design

Hello everyone… It is less than 100 days until Christmas!!! Can’t you believe that? I am starting my Christmas project with making some cards.

Here’s one of the cards I made using Christmas Cheer Digital Stamp and Holiday Tradition Digital Papers from Graciellie Design.

With digital stamps and papers, I can print and cut them for mass-producing the cards. This is one of my favorite way of making cards quick and easy.

I used the feature of Print-and-Cut from Silhouette Studio, I cut a dozen of this cup image using my Silhouette Cameo. They are ready to be colored and used at anytime.

On this card, I colored the cup with Arteza Rael Brush Pens, waterbrush, and white gel pen.

I added the papers on the card with adhesive glue and I added the cup on the card with 3D foam tape. I embellished the card with some of the Pretty Pink Posh Gold start sequins.

I hope you all be inspired to start your Christmas projects this season… Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hey Beautiful…

Graciellie Design

Hello everyone… Today, I am here with a card that I created with digital stamp, alcohol inks, and gold foil sheet.

On my card today, I use the Keep Growing digital stamp from Graciellie Design. Instead of coloring with pencil colors or watercolor paints, this time I use alcohol inks as my coloring medium.

First, I printed the flower on glossy cardstock in black and white. It has to be completely dried before adding the alcohol ink. Then, I added some Ranger Alcohol Inks using the applicator tool and felt. I added couple drop of Alcohol Ink Blending solution and blowed the ink in the middle of blending the colors.

Before the alcohol inked background completely dried, I added some Deco Foil Gold Sheet on it for extra shiny accent to it. After that, I trimmed the background to slightly smaller that the background mat. I added the panel on black mat cardstock, and then I added them on a white card base with adhesive glue.

I fussy cut the sentiment that I printed on white cardstock and added it on the card with adhesive glue. I embellished the card with some clear sequins.

Hope you like this card today… Thank you for stopping by!

Mixed Media Bible Journaling and Card With Color By Faith Stamps

Joy Clair Stamps

Hello everyone… I have two mixed media projects to share with you that I created using the newest Color By Faith stamp sets. It is a Bible Journaling page and a mixed media card.

I am journaling the passage from the Gospel of Luke chapter 11, verse 1 through 13. It is about the Lord’s Prayer. The prayer that Jesus taught His disciples to pray for. And in this prayer, we can learn how to pray, too. Also, Jesus reminds us that words that come out from our mouth are not suppose just empty words. When we pray it means that we ask God, we seek Him, we knock on His door. Jesus is the door!

Both projects today are also shared at Joy Clair Blog. On this page, I used the I Am stamp set and Broken Brick background stamp.

I started with creating the background. First, I applied a thin layer of clear gesso with brush. Next, I stamped the door from the I Am stamp set with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink Pad. I created a mask by stamping it again on post it note and fussy cut it with scissors.

And then, I scribble Leisure Art watercolored pencil all over the page and blended the color with watercolor brush. I dried it with craft heater tool. Next, I added some shadow around the door with grey watercolored pencil and waterbrush. Dried it with craft heater.

Next step is I added masks on the Bible verses and the door. After the watercoloring step, I stamped the Broken Brick background stamp all over the page with Memento Rich Cocoa. I did not use acrylic block, stamped it using my hand.

I stamped the words – ask, seek, knock – with VersaFine Onyx Black on a white cardstock, then I fussy cut around the words with micro-tip scissors. I added the cut out words with dries-clear adhesive glue. I added some shadow around the word with grey watercolored pencil and waterbrush.

For the door, I colored it with Leisure Arts Watercolored Pencils and waterbrush. For the sentiment, I stamped it and fussy cut it. I added it on top of the door image with dries-clear adhesive glue.

For my second project, it is a mixed media card with You Got This stamp set. I created the background by scribbleing Gelatos Metallic sticks on watercolor paper, and blended the colors with baby wipe. I dried it with craft heater.

Next, I used the Bubble ARTplorations Stencil and White Gelato to add some circles on it. After that I drew the circles around each white bubble with Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen. It is permanent india ink pen.

I added some white splatters on the background panel with white acrylic paint. I dried the panel with craft heater and trimmed it smaller than the card base. I added the finished panel on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze ink pad using Mini MISTI. I dried it with craft heater and then, I cut and embossed it with ODBD Large Banner Dies. I added the sentiment banner on the card with 3D foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you all enjoy the projects. Have wonderful day!

Gold and Bronze For Fall Cards

Gracillie Design

Hello everyone… I have been looking for some inspiration for Fall and I saw lots of gold and bronze color at craft store and Pinterest. I think these are my favorite Fall colors this year. And today, I have couple fall cards with gold and bronze colors.

I have couple fall cards with gold and bronze colors. More details on my blog https://helengullett.com/?p=15630  Thank you!

On both of my cards today I use the Fall themed digital stamp sets from Graciellie Design. And…on this first card I use the Obsessively Grateful Digital Stamp Set.

I use kraft cardstock as the card base. I added some of the VersaMagic Cloud White on the cardbase using sponge to muted the kraft color.

For the lattice background, I cut out a piece DCVW Bronze Metallic cardstock with ODBD Lattice Background Die, after that I run it through my die cutting machine one more time with rubber mat to emboss it.

I printed one of the leaves on a mixed media paper with inkjet printer. Next, I dried the printed image with craft heater and then I colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pens and waterbrush. I blended several colors of red, orange, magenta, and dark green to get the dry leaf color. After the watercoloring process, I dried the leaf and fussy cut it with scissors.

This step is how I created the leaf look like dry leaf and bit curly. I put the leaf on couple stacked of paper towel. I sprayed the leaf with water using the distress sprayer, and then dabbed of the water after couple seconds. I dried it again with craft heater. I let the leaf get curly with the drying process. And then, I sprayed it again with the mixture of Gold Pearl Powder and water using mini mister. I covered the leaf with the gold spray and dried it with craft heater again. So… I get the sparkly dry look leaf.

For the sentiment, I printed it on a white cardstock, cut it into a banner and I tucked it on the leaf, and secured it with adhesive glue.

I added both leaf and sentiment on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue. I only glue the middle of the leaf and leave the edge curl up for extra dimension.

I have couple fall cards with gold and bronze colors. More details on my blog:  https://helengullett.com/?p=15630  Thank you!

On my second card, I use the Harvest Blessing digital stamp set. This is her newly released stamp set this month.

I printed the flowers on a white paper with laser printer. Next, I added the Deco Foil Gold Sheet on top of the printed paper, gold side up. And then I put both paper and gold sheet in the middle of parchment paper and run them through my laminating machine. I pre-heated the machine about 10-15 minutes. After the paper came out of the other side, I let it cool down and then peeled off the gold sheet off… and ta-da! I got a gold-foiled flower background!

I cut out another piece of the DCVW Bronze Metallic cardstock with the largest die from ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies. And then I cut out the gold-foiled paper with the smaller die from the same set. I added them on the card with some of the dries-clear adhesive glue.

For the sentiment, I printed it on a white cardstock and cut it with one of the ODBD Large Banner Dies. I wrapped some of the natural burlap twine on top of the banner, and added the sentiment banner on the card with the dries-clear adhesive glue.

I hope you all enjoy these two CAS, gold and bronze Fall themed cards today. What is your favorite Fall theme colors this year?

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Hope you all have a fabulous day!
