2025 Card 1 | You Make Me Smile | Angie Blom Digital Designs

-

 


Hello everyone and welcome to the year 2025.  

Made my first card of the year - a white on white card - using two digital sets from Angie Blom Digital Designs.  The flowers on the front of the card are from Magical Story.  After I pulled the image into my editing program, I duplicated the image and flipped it so the 2 images met in the center, and colored the images using some ultra fine tip BIC markers.

Then I printed one of the sentiments from Christmas Joy Mugs, die-cut it using a stitched banner die, layered it on a piece of purple cardstock, and adhered it across the center of the card where the 2 images met. 

All I added were some Yellow Stickles and little dots of Glossy Accents to the front.

Below are links to the stamps sets I used if you want to check them out.

Here is a closeup of the card showing some of the shimmer from the stickles I used.

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
