Happy Sunday!  I am joining in the 30 day Scrap’n Stamp Facebook Challenge and today’s word is “Digi”.

Digital stamps can be a fun and easy way to create cards when you are on a budget or can’t find the right image or sentiment to go with items you already have.  There are many companies that offer digi stamps and today I am using a free one from Love Cynthia called Heart World.  I thought this was a perfect image for our current situation.

I started my downloading the image and then importing it into Silhouette Studio and resizing it.  If you don’t have Silhouette Studio you can use programs like Word or Pages to resize and print your image.  I like using Silhouette Studio as it allows me to easily die cut the images.  Again, you don’t need this program, as you can fussy cut around the images as well.

I printed and cut out several of the images so that I could create a few cards at once.  I then coloured the images in with my Copic Markers. My daughter even got in on the fun and coloured some of the images as well!  I pulled out the Hello, Beautiful sentiment stamps from My Favorite Things and stamped the “Friends Like You Make the World Beautiful” onto a panel of Lawn Fawn White Cardstock cut to 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″.  I adhered the panel in the centre of some coordinating cardstock and then adhered that onto a top folding A2 size card base.  Finally, I adhered the digital image onto the card with some foam squares and added clear Wink of Stella to the little girl’s heart and bow as well as the bold “beautiful” sentiment.

 

I really like how I was able to coordinate this image with sentiments that I already had and I can’t wait to send these off to some nursing friends of mine.

I hope these cards inspired you and I can’t wait for you to share the cards you create with your take on the word “Digi”.

Take Care!
