Today I am showcasing the Sent with a Prayer stamp set to deliver love and hope to a family in need. Although my papers don't shout Fall, my card is created to build up a harvest of blessings for the recipient.
The sentiments are bursting with sweet encouragement and the foliage is beautiful. ♥︎
My sentiment is showcased by Wycinanka's Decor chipboard frame, which is sprinkled with pearls and nestled within Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. Wycinanka's Background Hearts are tucked in for extra touches of love.
My card base is created with Spellbinders Gold Labels Four to create a sweet set with my card from yesterday. The papers are from Pion Design's Fairytale of Spring, a sheet I have saved for a few years for just the right occasion. I hope it shines light into their dark days. ♥︎

Graciellie Design Stamp Release Blog Hop

Happy Sunday, sweet and sparkly friends! We are back for another celebration of the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps! Gracie's stamps are beautiful and lovely. Today I am using one of the gorgeous sentiments from the new Classic Greetings set. ♥︎
Here is the cover of the set I am featuring, which is ideal for so many occasions.
(My previous blog hop card showcases the stunning floral image, which can be seen HERE.)
Life got in the way of a fancier card I had envisioned, but I'm grateful for every moment of crafting that can be squeezed in. For my birthday card, I used Pion Design's Scent of Lavender collection. The Prima flowers are from when I first began crafting... deeeep in my stash! The sweet bird's nest is from my crafty pal Kelly, to which I paired a La-La Land Crafts birdhouse. I had incredible fun crackling up the birdhouse and filling it with precious love. ♥︎

The foliage is a combination of Cheery Lynn and Tattered Lace dies. My base is (again!) made with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles. The beautiful Tea Stain crinkle ribbon is from my wonderful friend Diana of DL.Art, while the pretty Cheyenne Lace beneath is from Live & Love Crafts.

All of Gracie's stamp sets can be found HERE for instant download. Additionally, there is a promotion for the remainder of the month so you can stock up on her fabulous stamps. ♥︎

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.

Graciellie Design Stamp Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!

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

Hello, sparkly friends! It's time for a blog hop featuring the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps! Gracie's stamps are versatile and elegant, sure to spark sweet creativity. Today I am sharing two projects using one of the new sets called In Its Time. ♥︎
I have an affinity for papers and images with clocks and this couldn't be more beautifully done. The sentiments are not only perfect companions for the image, but also lovely on their own.

I created a card and tag set for a family in need of encouragement. ♥︎
I am thoroughly enamored with this stamp set, which I paired with LemonCraft House of Roses papers. Both roses are colored with Copics, fussy cut, and layered atop the stunning clock.
For the card, the clock is layered atop a Sue Wilson Italian Collection Decorative Frame. (Copics used: RV10, R81, R85; YG93, YG95, YG97) Live & Love Crafts chiffon organza ruffles along the bottom, whimsically lined with a string of pearls from my sweet friend Karen. I envisioned motion as time marches on, leading us to a desired harvest of all things lovely.
The Scripture sentiment is another favorite part of this set; a beautiful reminder that God always brings beauty from ashes in His perfect time. The recipient of this card must always remember this promise as they fight heartbreak. It is cut out with a Spellbinders Lacy Pennant. Tucked among the LLC flowers and pomegranate apples are lacy leaves from Tattered Lace. Part of a die from Marianne Design's Anja's 2 Vintage Ornaments serve as hinges.
My tag is also a Marianne Design die. The miniature version of the clock rests atop a My Craft Spot doily die (no longer in business). The sentiment is surrounded by pearly promises and sweet tiny pom trim. The Sweet Love crinkle ribbon is from my dear friend Diana of DL.Art.

Graciellie Design Stamp Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!

** This is my first of two posts today. Please click HERE for the Live & Love Crafts March challenge. **

Hello, sweet friends! Are you ready to kick off a new month of crafty fun? ♥︎
I am honored to be part of a blog hop featuring the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps. Gracie's stamps are not only versatile, but they're also as beautiful as her heart! Today I am sharing a card with you using one of the new sets called Butterflies.
The sentiments are perfect for encouragement projects and the butterflies are gorgeous as-is or colored up to match a color palette.
I colored the butterflies with Copics (BG10-BG72-BG78) to coordinate with the LemonCraft papers, layering the large one. I adore Gracie's stamps because they so often portray exactly what my heart wants to say in my charitable cards. This sentiment is perfect for a lovely 19-year-old named Anna, a cancer warrior who is now blind due to her brain tumor. Her world has darkened with change and Hope must be her light.
Although I always love incorporating texture, it was especially important here. Because Anna cannot physically see this, I wanted her hands to have ruffling trims and large blossoms to explore. My heart believes she *will* see this one day; that her sight will be restored, along with everything else cancer has stolen. Until then, she will feel the love fluttering in it.
An extra bit of texture for Anna is a metal filigree corner, which is heat-embossed with Shabby White Frantage. The laces and most of the flowers are from Live & Love Crafts. The Cappuccino crinkle ribbon is from DL.Art.

Lovely Lace at Deep Ocean Challenge!

Hello, sparkly friends! I want to thank you once again for your continued love during my family's health tribulations. You are sweet rays of sunshine and I am grateful for you.

Today begins a new challenge at Deep Ocean and it's exceptionally pretty: Lovely Lace! I have returned to my Copics and was reminded that learning to color is a journey! ;) But it was still fun.
This cutie pie is Pixie, one of the darling Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet (available in rubber or digital). I was first drawn to her beautiful wings, ready to carry her through every storm as she fights for every dream in her heart... just like the inspiring warrior who will receive this card. She is indeed flying with her own wings driven by God's love, so beautifully captured in this Graciellie Design Angel Wings sentiment. The sentiment was cut out with a Spellbinders Lacy Pennant.
The special recipient is Willow, a teen cancer warrior who inspires me daily. She has survived the cancer that plagued her, but continues to battle the effects of treatment and the anxiety that fills her with fear that it will return. I hope this brings joy to her beautiful heart. ♥︎
A bouquet of aqua and white flowers (mostly from Live & Love Crafts) adorn the Lemoncraft Forget-Me-Not papers. The gorgeous Aruba Blue ribbon is from DL.Art's Tropical Summer bundle.
The butterfly border atop my card is from Joy! Crafts. The butterfly below is Isabella from Memory Box... the script and musical score papers in this pad are so pretty! The layered lace flower and Button Etoile are from Live & Love Crafts, while the lace is from The Ribbon Girl. Marianne Design's Stitched Circle holds my sweet image. My card base was made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly 7.

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly day. (I'll list the Copic colors soon!) ♥︎

Hearts at Deep Ocean Challenge!

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful week. It's time for a fun new challenge at Deep Ocean Challenge and it's a sweet one: Hearts! ♥︎

Love is for all seasons, so rather than a Valentine I made a friendship card to thank a friend for supporting me through this difficult time. You may be surprised to see coloring! After 1.5 years away from coloring due to injury, I have returned to my Copics for Deep Ocean projects and it feels magical. ♥︎
This cutie pie is Lullaby from Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet. Isn't she the sweetest angel? Sadly my pictures washed out some detailing (I need to work on this!), but Polar White Flower Soft adorns the branch for fluffy snowy fun. Her wings (and the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers) are covered in Glamour Dust for wintry sparkle.

She is surrounded in love via a die from Sue Wilson's Decorative Frames Italian collection. A double dose of love adorns the corner, where the smaller Cheery Lynn heart (Two of Hearts) is topped with friendship in full bloom. The pristine Pure Love crinkle ribbon is from my dear friend Diana of DL.Art.
The Graciellie Design sentiment is from her Angel Wings set, inked with Milled Lavender and nestled in a sparkling Melissa Frances resin frame. Gracie is a sweet friend and I'm thrilled for her digi store re-launch that took place last week. My papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Frost Basics, which are embellished with goodies from Live & Love Crafts, Wild Orchid Crafts, and lace from The Ribbon Girl.

My card base was made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly 10, which is topped with Joy! Crafts Lacy Square Frame. The small snowflakes are from Cheery Lynn. A larger Magnolia snowflake is tucked within the flowers, while Magnolia Heart Flourishes provide extra touches of love.

Be sure to check out my teamies' inspiring creations and I hope you can play along with us. Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is Live & Love Crafts (yay!) who is generously offering a gift certificate to one lucky winner. :o)
