Coffee Loving Cardmakers & Gracielle Designs


The Coffee Loving Cardmakers are thrilled to be collaborating with Graciellie Design! Check out all the participating designers and leave comments along the way for a chance to win!


Prize: $10 Gift Card to Graciellie Design – Commenting open through August 30th with the winner announced on Saturday, September 1st. Winner selected from the comments across all of the participating blogs.

Gracie's digital designs are so beautiful and easy to create with such as the set featured today:  Stay Strong.


For my first card, I layered a soft blue/green dotted pattern paper to the cardbase.  Then, I created a background using Tim Holtz Clockwork Brick Stencil and distressed oxide ink.  I then colored in the coffee cup and flower; placing the flower in the center and finishing by adding the sentiment.


I'm not much of a digital stamper, but Graciellie Designs are so simple to color, cut, and create making cardmaking a breeze!  I also like that you can easily resize images! But if you like stamps, this beautiful set is now available at Unity Stamps!!



For my second card, I layered orange and green dotted pattern paper to the base.  I then colored and cut the coffee cups and flowers; arranging them on the card using 3D dots.  I cut the sentiment using a tag by Reverse Confetti and added the bow.  To finish, I added some dark peach pearl embellishments to the card and coffee-colored liquid pearls to the flower centers and 'chocolate pieces' in the whipped cream image.


Be sure to stop by the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog and hop along to see the amazing creations made with Graciellie Designs Stay Strong set!
