Thank You For Your Thoughtfulness - Clever Dexter Challenge

Hey friends! Welcome back to my blog and I'm glad you're here today! It's time for another inspiration.

Today's inspiration is for Clever Dexter Challenge and we are halfway through already. Can't believe it, time flies really fast!

For my project today, I used the Sunflower Close Up Digital Stamp by our Sponsor AlexSyberiaDesign. I printed it onto Sweet Tooth White Cardstock by Cardstockwarehouse Paper Co., colored using my all-time favorite Alcohol Markers Arteza Ever Blend Ultra Art Markers. For my sentiment, I used Simon Says Stamp Thanks and Leaves Stamp Set. Finally, embellished it with some gorgeous sequins by Studio Katia.

Come and play along with us over Clever Dexter! You still have some time to join, so what are waiting for?

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again, next time!

XOXO

Crafty Paw: Dino 2 - Mirtillamente

Hello there friends!

Do you love Dinosaurs? I know some of you do and possibly have a collection of them too!

Today's project is using the Crafty Paw: Dino 2 and it's available over Mirtillamente Craft Shop.

This fun project is so easy to make and easy to color and had so much fun with it.

To make this card, I created a background first using the Distress Oxide. Then, I printed and colored it using my Arteza Ever Blend Ultra Art Alcohol Markers.

I also added some small birds for additional details on the card and then added the sentiment on top of the card. To finish it off, I added it onto an A2 notecard.

I hope you like it. To see more digital stamps and other amazing products, best sure to stop by Mirtillamente Craft Shop.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time!

Stay crafty friends,

You Are An Inspiration - Joy Clair Designs February 2022 New Release

Hi and welcome to Joy Clair Design Blog Hop Release Springish Fiesta 2022.

I love this release and I had so much fun making a project using one of the Digital Stamps and will definitely enjoy using the rest of the Digital in the coming months.

Are you ready?

Today is a blog hop, so you might have come from the creative sisters Maureen and Michelle and the next stop on the hop is the amazing Bonnie Crane. You can find the entire lineup via the Inlinkzlight HERE also at the end of the blog post.

For my card today, I used the Truly Inspire Digital Stamp Set. This is such an amazing stamp set which comes with several sentiments as well. I decided to add some bold colors using my Arteza Ever Blend Ultra A

To make this card, I started making the background first by using the dry embossing technique and added a little bit of Distress Oxide Ink then added to the card base with strong glue.

Then, printed one of the flowers from the Truly Inspire Digital Stamp, colored and fussy cut them. Added some double side tape at the back of the image then adhered it on top of the card panel. After that, I added the sentiment and embellished it with some Studio Katia sequins. I love how bold the colors on this flower are and how striking it is.
