It’s an exciting day over at the Meljen’s Designs blog and shop. Melissa is releasing a bunch of new digital stamps and pre-colored digital images for February in the Meljen’s Designs store today. (I’ll give you a peek below.)
Although I enjoy coloring, there are time when I love using precolored images. They are so quick and easy to use when you have a time crunch or want to make several cards quickly. I decided to use some of the new pre-colored digis to make several Valentine’s Day cards for teachers and grandparents. I stayed with the same design on all of them to make the paper & die cutting easier. (My card design is loosely based on sketch MFTWSC18.) First I’ll show you a look at all the cards and then a closer look at each of them.
As promised, here is a look at all the new goodies Melissa is putting into the shop today.
The theme for the new Meljen’s Designs challenge is “Loving You”. Perfect for Valentine’s day. You can link up your card, see the challenge rules and be inspired by the DT’s creations on the Meljen’s Designs blog.
Thank you for stopping by!
