Hello everyone and welcome to Graciellie Design Birthday Blog Hop! So… come and join the party!

We are celebrating Gracie’s birthday with a blog hop featuring her new digital stamps, $25 gift card giveaway, and… awesome 40% oFF Sale at Graciellie Desing shop!!!

Here are my cards today featuring the 2 of 6 new digital stamp sets:

On my first card, I use this Embrace The Moments Digital Stamp Set. I love this digital stamp set with cute camera, polaroid frame, and lifting-up sentiments. They are perfect of any occasion and any type of projects.

I use Pixelmator Pro (a photo editor program similar to Photoshop) to create the layout for my card. I used the camera, polaroid frame, and sentiment. I copied the camera out side the frame so I would have extra camera.

Then, I printed the images on a white cardstock in black and white with inkjet printer. After that, I colored them with Prismacolors Pencils. I fussy cut the frame and the extra camera.

I added some of the Purple Glitter Stickles and Clear Glitter Stickles on the camera and then I added it on top of the camera inside the polaroid frame with 3D foam adhesive for extra dimension.

I printed one of the patterned paper from the Rainbow Vibes Digital Paper Pack to use on the background.

I embellished the card with some of the purple glitter gems I had in my stash.

And for my second card, I use this Tulips & Daisies Digital Stamp Set. This digital stamp set is packed with a tulip flower, a daisy flower, and beautiful script sentiments. That tulip reminds me of my Giant Tulips I had in my garden couple years ago.

To create the front card for this second card, I used the same photo editor program and arrange the tulips, overlapping each other. On a letter size layout, I ended up have 4 front cards, each in 4.25″ x 5.5″ dimension.

I printed the image and sentiment with inkjet printer, trimmed into card front size, and then I colored the tulips with Prismacolors Pencils, too.

After the coloring, I cut the panel with Divinity Designs – Double Stitched Rectangles Dies with my Gemini Junior machine. I cut the sentiment with the Divinity Designs – Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.

I added the outside frame cut out directly on the card with permanent adhesive runner, and then add the middle cut out on the card with 3D foam adhesive for extra dimension.

Then I added the sentiment on the card with permanent adhesive runner. I embellished the card with some sequins from my stash.
