Floral for all occasions on DCD

 Hello everyone,

I am back with another card created using the beautiful Poinsettia digi stamp by Rachel Vass Designs.  On today's project, I left out the sentiment.  This design should work for all occasions, so I will only stamp or write the inside once I decide how to use it.

I hope I have inspired you to look at your floral stamp in a different way, and join in our January Challenge - Flowers at Die Cut Divas.

Rachel Vass Designs is our sponsor this month.  Do hop over to her store to check out her beautiful designs, I am sure you'd find you something that suits your next project!

Let's celebrate with floral on DCD

Hi everyone, Happy 2022!

Before going on with my post, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all my craft friends and readers a fabulous start of the new year! 

I am sharing a couple of inspiration cards for Die Cut Divas' January challenge.

The challenge theme is:  Flowers.  Rachel Vass Designs is our sweet sponsor this month.

Our challenge winner will receive 3 digital stamps and all the design team can choose one design each from any designs  on Etsy (at time of choosing). 

For my projects I chose the Poinsettia digi stamp set, and created a couple cards.

I watercolored the Poinsettia in loose water color style, hand cut and adhere to a stitched panel with a few dies and sentiment banner.  Really easy card to do.  You see, the Poinsettia is not just for Christmas, you could use it in many other occasions.

Next one up, same process, but I splatter some gold ink.  And this card could be use for any celebratory purpose.

I hope you enjoy seeing my creations, and join in our challenge.  Hop over to the Die Cut Divas Challenge blog post and check out what my teammates created for you and get the challenge details.

Coffee Christmas Card

I don't know what has happen, but I got so seriously distracted this week...

I used a digi stamp named Cozy Winter Background by Rachel Vass Designs for this fun card.  Nothing complicate, I printed, color with alcohol markers, die cut, tie sentiment tag, and adhere to a dry embossed card base.  Voila!

One good thing about digi stamps, no need to wait for the snail mail delivery. Instant download!!   Rachel has more coffee image in the her store.  

If you're like me, rushing in the last minute, digi stamp is a great choice.  Check these out:  Coffee Break,  Sketchy Rose Teacups, Gnome One Like You, Sweather Weather ... etc all great for coffee/tea/hot cocoa related projects.

11 Day Coloring Challenge - Day 9

Day 9 of the11 Day Coloring Challenge, I colored the Celebrate Us (by Altnew + Pink Fresh Studio) on my journal page.  I stamped with Antiquie Linen distress ink, colored watercolor pencils.

 

For those who's been so kind to visit my blog, you know I had a project to finish.  The green mark made by my jumping marker has been eliminated.  By that, I meant I die cut my floral wreath out and transplant to a new home.  LOL  

I was too lazy tied up with other things, so I took the easy way out. Here's a look of the finished project.

Rachel Vass Designs In Love Rose

 Happy Friday's Eve!!

Today's project is brought to you by Rachel Vass Designs!  :)  I used stamp set In Love Rose for my project, and I've created a faux tile card.

I've learnt this technique a long time ago, but have not been practising a lot.  But I thought this beautiful digi stamp deserve a special treat.  Wink!!

The image is printed on white card stock and colored with 
Copic markers.  Then I cut the panel into four and glue onto a Sage color card panel.  Next I stamp Versamark ink all over and coated it with Stampendous Deep Impression clear embossing powder and heat set.  I repeat this process three times, and it created that glossy tile look.

To create the sentiment tag, I printed the sentiment on white card stock, trim and partial die cut both ends.  The tag is also heat emboss with the same embossing powder twice and then it mounted on a matching shaped panel and embellished with a couple gems I dye with alcohol ink. 

The In Love Rose digi stamp is really lovely, don't you think?

Supplies:

 Happy Saturday y'all!

Rachel Vass Designs' latest release is call Cup Of Joe, it's so pretty!

And here's my project using it.

I printed the image on white mixed media paper, and watercolored.  I did a partial cut on the panel and layer it on a burlap pattern paper stamped with coffee beans.  I am happy with the result except the coffee art is a little "unprofessional" though.  LOL
