PaperTemptress and Graciellie Design are hopping!

Hey everyone!

I'm super thrilled to be part of a blog hop featuring both PaperTemptress and Graciellie Design, two companies that have in common the love of creative possibilities!

As you already know, PaperTemptress is my official go-to for all Copic papers (XPress, Cryogen White, Heavenly White, Neenah and so on!). Patricia, the owner, is simply amazing and always available for custom orders!

Graciellie Design is a digital shop on Etsy that has paperpacks and stamps on various themes, but if you prefer rubberstamps, you can seek them at Unity, or clear stamps at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. 

Both teams are coming together to feature these amazing products, so make sure you hop along and comment for a chance to win some PRIZES! Yes, you will win two $20 gift cards to PaperTemptress and Graciellie Design (to be given away to 2 separate winners). Winners will be announced on  April 1st on both PaperTemptress and Graciellie Design blogs.

Here's the HOP:

For my card, I used the gorgeous Elegant Greetings digital set and decided to print it on some Cryogen White at a large scale. I really wanted the focus to be on the dept of the stamp.

Here's another close-up...

SugarPea Designs: Gingersnaps!

Hey guys!

For some reasons, this post didn't go up....hum! So here it is, the last challenge of 2016 at SugarPea Designs :)

And for today’s post, I’m quickly going to show you how you can not only use Cryogen White for colouring with alcohol markers, but also as a sturdy background/cardbase! I decided to use a new technique with those cute Gingersnaps from SugarPea Designs, whereas you cut your sparkly Cryogen White cardbase to 4″x11″ and simply stamp all along your gingerbread house. Try alternating the start of your “lines”, so that they don’t necessarily happen at the same level. When you’re done, simply score the cardbase from the top, add two die-cuts in the corner and two gingerbreadmen. In using the same cardstock, you are 100% to have the same sparkly white effect!

• Stamps: GingerSnaps
• SugarCut Dies: GingerSnaps, Zig Zag Stitched Circles

I hope you'll play, too!

Paper Temptress : Wendy's wishes and dreams

Good morning everyone!

 

I felt like showing you two cards that are oldies, but goldies to me! They feature the lovely Wendy's Wishes and Dreams set that is now retired at LDRS Creative. I think they both show the good use to kraft and white cardstock, among the most-amazing-crazy-awesome colouring paper for alcohol markers, namely Cryogen White!

And here's the second card:

Have a wonderful week-end, all! xx
