Graciellie Design

I recently got a laser printer, a wonderful surprise courtesy of my husband who knows how much I love to foil. So yes, I've been foiling away my digital stamps on cards and today I'm sharing 3 different ways to foil your cards using Graciellie Design digital stamps from our Etsy shop ! First, let me show you how I worked with a foil resist technique to watercolor this stunning flower! First I printed the flower using my laser printer on regular white cardstock and then ran it through my Minc machine on level 3 layering it with a gold Decofoil transfer sheet. Once the image was foiled (which is quite easy following these steps), I used a waterbrush and Distress inks to watercolor my flower and because the foil resists the color applied you end up with a stunning result as shown below. Card made using Patience - Digital Stamp Set Another wonderful thing I was able to make using my new laser printer was to foil the sentiment of the card on vellum. I used a sheet of he...

Summer is on at Graciellie Design with 2 sales you can't miss!  I've been having fun with some beautiful digital stamps from our latest releases and using bright colors in honor of the season. I really like to mix bold patterns and bright colors to create contrast on Summer themed cards.

Summer crafts can be so fun, especially with the sweet images from Sunny Studio Stamps . Today I'm sharing 3 cards I created with stamps from the set Fresh & Fruity ... It's so fun and versatile! My favorite thing about these stamps is all the options you get so you can add little faces and other details to your images. I created patterned backgrounds with the fun fruit images which I heat embossed in glitter gold and white. I went for an ombre look on 2 cards and I decided to watercolor the strawberries on my first card with distress inks. I also foiled the edges on my second card and discover the Thermoweb's Champagne transfer foil matches perfectly the tone of gold on Clearsnap's Glitter Gold embossing powder. Sunny Studio Stamps has a brand new release and I already picked my favorites! They also have fun, versatile dies that go along perfect with their sweet stamps. Make sure you head to their blog (that will be featuring my cards today)...
