Graciellie Design Stamp Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!

This is my second post of the day. For the Live & Love Crafts May Challenge, please click HERE.

Hello, sweet friends! We're celebrating the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps with a blog hop! Gracie's stamps are versatile and beautiful, sure to inspire sweet creativity. Today I am sharing a card featuring one of the new sets titled Classic Greetings.

Here is the cover for the gorgeous set:

The floral stamp is so pretty and I love the abundance of sentiments in varying themes. Gracie's images are such fun to color! My encouragement card is going to a family in need of blossoming love.

I printed the image in a soft-lines manner... baby steps to no-lines coloring. :o) I colored it up with Copics and then generously covered it in Star Dust. The recipient loves sparkle as much as I (truly!), so I wanted them to sparkle for her. My papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Spring Basics. Encircling Gracie's stamps in love is a Sue Wilson Italian Decorative Frame, which is adorned with a layered Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly. A Joy! Crafts Lacey Square rests beneath, while my card base is made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly #10.

This and other new digital stamp sets can be found HERE for instant download. These stamps are ready to print and are perfect for all papercrafting projects.

Something New at Live & Love Crafts!

Happy New Year, sweet and sparkly friends! I hope you've had a beautiful holiday season. I will be visiting you this weekend now that my dad is on the mend from surgery last week. (Heart procedures aren't very festive, are they?!) Thank you for sticking with me during an exceptionally busy December. ♥︎

It's time for a fun new challenge at Live & Love Crafts! Our theme this month is "Something New," which is open to many interpretations. I was inspired to create a new type of box that I hadn't previously made before. I adore Christmas Cracker Boxes and had a lovely time trying them.

I opted for a non-festive theme as these will be part of an encouragement box of love. Each will be filled with sweet little gifts of hope for a grieving mother.

The pretty papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Spring Basics, which I've adorned with a variety of LLC goodies. The Christmas Cracker svg files are from the generous and talented Monica. Naturally I gravitated to the heart detailing. :o)

Wild Orchid Crafts magnolias rest atop the larger box, with Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourishes scrolling beneath. Each box has a Maja butterfly from the Coffee in the Arbour collection and different frilly trims and embellishments for variety.

Tiny packages... big heart. I pray these deliver a glimmer of joy to unfathomable heartache.

Be sure to visit the LLC blog where inspiration from my fabulous teamies awaits and I hope you'll play along with us this month! Thank you for visiting and I wish you every happiness this year. :o)
