Wink a minute with Wanda! Digi papers and images together!

Hi Friends, It's Sunday and I'm sharing a project from one of the You tube Live shows I do on Thursday Nights at 8:00 PM EST!

SEE THE YOU TUBE VIDEO HERE

Do you use Digi's? Have you ever tried them? Today I'm going to explain some of the things I personally like about digi's with you. I don't speak for anyone else, these are just my opinions.

So today I want to share some of the digi PRO'S I've come across, with all of my crafty friends.

Digi's don't take up storage space

Digi's go everywhere your computer goes

Digital image sizes can be adjusted according to your needs

Digi's can be combined with other digi's before printing with no masking

Digital images can be flipped adjusting the orientation or direction

The price point of digital images are lower in general

The digital images are immediately delivered and there is no shipping cost

There are things about digital stamps that are a bit limiting. However, all in all, they work wonderfully for me and the designer papers are the same as illustrations.

I hope if you have NOT given them a chance, that this information will be considered and perhaps prompt you to give it a go!

INGREDIENTS:

"Winking Wanda digi"

Krafty and Sweet digi papers

Sentiment from Whimsy Stamps

Circle frame die from Stash

Acetate from Stash

I love rubber/polymer stamps and digital images alike!

I illustrated "Winking Wanda" with her cute little chubby face, wispy feathers and that little signature heart when I opened my e-commerce store TLCDesigns.shop in January 2020. She was one of my first and quickly became a favorite!

This card is not the average A2 size card.

I created this card with flaps that close over the front and the Acetate that wraps around the card and keeps the project closed. On top of the acetate, I attached the little scalloped circle die with the cute digi image colored for a topper! I stamped the Whimsy Stamps sentiment inside the card and secured the topper to a card base. That's it! Simple and Special!

Stay Crafty,

Digital elements can create coordinating DP!

There's a great Shaker in the belly of "Jazz"! The first of his kind @ the TLCDesigns.shop within the Fairily Furry Friends line of Digital Stamps!

INGREDIENTS:

Jazz Digital Illustration and Design Paper

Diagonal Stitched Rectangles

Dress My Crafts Sprinkles Desert Mix

Cotton Candy Paper by Simon Says

Free sample of my Watercolor paper with elements placed with purchase of digi stamp

I used my Procreate program on my Ipad and colored in some of the extras you get with this set then placed them all about some of my watercolor paper and printed it out. I used the same colored images and decorated the "Jazz" image so they would coordinate beautifully!

Last weeks FB Live was very fun and educational as we had some visitors that hadn't created a shaker card yet, some that had never created their own digital paper using digi images and others that shared along in the comradery and crafty fun! I printed the homemade design paper again and cut out some bows, hats and lolli-pops I used to fussy cut and pop up over their original images for some fun layers on the card.

I know these are troublesome and frightening times we are facing in the world. Each of us in our own little communities trying to do our part in the attempt to stay healthy and stunt this virus in its path. Some of us have children home, others are working from the same place we are supposed to relax after a long day. Stay busy, get crafty with your kids and find that happy place when you can crafting something that brings you JOY! It will help! Art is a powerful thing!

WINNER OF THE DOUBLE DIAL DIE

I will choose a winner next Thursday Night Live for one of my lucky first 50 subscribers.

I hope you can join me next Thursday @ 8 pm EST to share some FB Live time getting into the crafty happiness Art brings us!

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

“You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”

Napoleon Hill

Hugs to you and Stay Crafty!

PAPER PIECING WITH DIGITAL IMAGES

Hiya Friends! Today's post is all about last Thursday's FB Live project! I have a digital image in the TLCDesigns.shop https://tlcdesigns.shop/ store called "Winking Wanda".

She's ready for watercolor, paper piercing or ink of any sort! She's bold and beautiful and perfect for that CAS one image sort of card that, with a bit of background texture, makes her stand out beautifully!
