Look what arrived on my doorstep today, from Scrapbook.com -  The brand new Echo Park Paper "A Perfect Christmas" collection by Lori Whitlock.  I do a lot of papercrafting for various design teams and this has everything that I want in a collection; traditional plaid, gorgeous woodgrains and those beautiful holiday florals stole my heart!  You can view the entire collection here.  These are affiliate links so if you click and purchase,  I will receive a small commission.  Now that that's out of the way.... let's move on to the good stuff!

Sent With a Prayer for Graciellie Design

I'm always in need of a good "thinking of you" type card, so I was very excited to discover that Graciellie Design has some wonderful digital stamps that perfectly fit my needs.  I created this card with the "Sent With A Prayer" set, using a hybrid technique, direct coloring and water coloring.  I have a 3 minute video as well, so you can see how I colored this and added the splatters.

A few key points:  These images can easily be transferred to your digital program for printing or cutting, however I used Microsoft Word to open a document and add my photos, resizing and layering my images to print all at once.   This is a particularly good technique, if you like doing CAS cards (clean and simple).

BONUS TIP: Bring your smaller leaf and sentiment to the front of your image by hovering over the image, right click and choose "Wrap Text" then select "In Front of Text".  This will then allow you to move your image around and place it on top of another image.  It's super easy and will become second nature after you've done it a couple times.  I printed this on Strathmore Vellum Mixed Media paper.  You can find this in most big box craft stores but I picked mine up locally at Target.  If your paper warps with watercoloring, simply grab your iron and place your image face down ( I like to put it between two sheets of parchment paper) and iron for about 15 seconds. 

Above is a close-up of my coloring.  I've used Marvy Le Plume II brush markers to color.  Instructions are on my YouTube video. (link at end of post)

I will be using this set again and again.   If you've never used digital stamps before, it's so easy, the prices can't be beat and they work well with your digital cutting systems,

Purchase: Sent With A Prayer Digital Stamps ($3.50)

Thanks so much for stopping in today.  Here's the link ( below) to my YouTube video, if you'd like to see the coloring in action.  I would appreciate it if you subscribe to my channel and clicked the thumbs up video.  Leave me a comment, if you like.  I love hearing from you!  You'll also find product links below and in the description section of my video.

Monarch Birthday Tag for So Suzy Stamps

Today, I'm mixing it up a little bit, creating this mixed media birthday tag for So Suzy Stamps. I rarely make tags, although it's a super fun and crafty thing to do.  I just love cards so much, that I rarely veer from that.  However, I needed to make one for a specific gift, so here we are.  I'm featuring several stamps from the new August release; Monarch Butterfly, Happiest Moments and Small Solid Butterflies.  Scroll down for details.......

First off, I've been experimenting with Ranger distress oxide inks and had actually made this card base, textured stenciled arrows and all, but had set it aside because I just wasn't feeling it.  You know the feeling, right?  I made a video recently showing how to make a cloud background with oxides and this uses that same technique, inking a torn paper edge, but going in vertical and horizontal directions.  The stenciled arrows were created by laying down an arrow stencil, spreading a goop of Nuvo crystal drops with a palette knife and sprinkling gold extra fine glitter on top, then allowing to dry.   So, that's my base.

For my butterfly, I heat embossed my Monarch butterfly on vellum with Nuvo Hot Chocolate embossing powder.  Because vellum will curl when wet, I taped down all the edges, then colored with Tombow brush markers.  I quickly heat dried, then applied a thin coat of Nuvo, clear Morning Dew Crystal Drops and heat set with my craft heat tool.  It gets a little bubbly but that just adds to the fun of mixed media textures.

Next, I stamped my sentiment on vellum, swiping the stamp with a brown Tombow marker, heat setting, then carefully writing over the sentiment with an Arteza Premium glitter pen.  Be very careful when doing this, that you don't smudge your wording.  Zap with a heat tool to dry.

Before placing my vellum popped out sentiment, I stamped the small solid butterflies along the bottom right and top right of my tag, so they're peeking out.  These were inked with Ranger Brushed Corduroy distress ink.

I added lots of burlap ribbon, twine, string and more with my Westcott hot glue pen.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  It's yet another reminder to never throw away your experiments.  You never know when they might come in handy for another project.  If you'd like to create with any of these products, I have shopping links below.  Thanks for stopping in today!
