Christmas is upon us and I know many of us end up wrapping gifts and making tags and cards in a rush on Christmas Eve. So I am planning ahead preparing some outside of the box last minute gift ideas. This time I'm sharing these cute Christmas Apron gift / money holders! New Holiday Traditions Papers These sweet aprons look perfect thanks to our new digital papers from Holiday Traditions . You can find those here . They are super affordable and you can print them as many times as you like to recreate the same look on several projects. Also, I was able to get to aprons per printed 8 1/2" by 11" sheet. I printed them in a regular inkjet printer and used it to cut the pieces of this SVG file. I used the Precious Giftables cartridge -or should I say Christmas giftables- by the lovely Anna Griffin. It includes two pocketsm, one that you can see on the pictures to place a small card, and another one on the back that is perfect for your money gifts. So yes, they are ...

Welcome to our last blog hop of the year! It's been an incredible crafty year, with lots of inspiration projects to share and today is no exception. Join us as we share a beautiful collection of Christmas projects featuring Therm O Web products and Graciellie Design Digital Stamps.  Therm O Web We are collaborating with Therm O Web today and I'm sure you will see more of their products on our projects throughout the month.

They also continue growing their Deco Foil line with more colors and finishes... We are loving the new Gina K. Designs Glitter Foils and cardstocks and that is what you will see me featuring today! New Christmas Poinsettias My card for today features one of our latest digital stamp ...

Every year I try to create small gifts for each holiday for my son's teachers and for family friends. I try to come up with different ideas each time. This time I decided to share one of the projects I'll be preparing for the Holidays... A decorated Christmas Gift Box that comes with a coordinating card.  This idea started off with this card. This is -I believe- my first purple Christmas card ever and I find the color combination to be so elegant. I used beautiful papers from Paper Temptress and stunning ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon . I'm also featuring stamps and papers from my new Holiday collection. This stamp set is called Cheery Christmas and you can find it in digital format here. Of course, we have made these images available also as a rubber stamp kit at Unity Stamp Company (which is so detailed). I decided to use the digital version of this stamp set for this card. I sized the Christmas wreath and sentiment to fit the entire front of my ca...

Digital stamps and papers are still a mystery to many crafters... I too was the kind of crafter that preferred real, rubber or clear, stamps and perfect paper pads that I often didn't use much because they were treated as a collection piece...

Yay! It's time for a new release at Graciellie Design . We had a few date changes this month, but I assure you it's only because of many exciting things coming very soon! Today we have 4 new stamp sets and 1 coordinating SVG set , that are available now on the shop. The design team is sharing truly amazing samples and we are having a blog hop and giveaway to celebrate! Our design team has been sharing some lovely classic cards and they inspired me to go back to basics and make this card set. I used the new Unicorn Wishes Stamp Set and SVG set. I am loving the unicorn trend and these cards remind me of all the beautiful stationery papers I collected when I was around 10 years old. I cut the unicorn SVGs on my Cricut Explore Air from Aquamarine Mica/Metallic 105# cardstock from Paper Temptress' Magnolia Dreams Collection. They were really easy to cut, since I created them in a way that they wouldn't give your machine any trouble. Also, the metallic cardstock I u...
