a closeR look at gRateful glam

Whether you live in the States or Canada & celebrate Thanksgiving> or if you live somewhere around the world....everyone loves to create with a Grateful Heart....
& this Grateful Glam collection is perfect for any kind of project: 
card making, 
hyrbrid crafting, 
digital scrapbooking, 
photography, 
blogging, 
DIY home decor...
you name it...
This collection is a gorgeous tool for you to create projects to uplift & inspire!


I'm so excited about this Grateful Glam Paper pack! The colors are inspired by Autumn & what's hot now: 
Grey, Yellow & Sage. 
The patterns are an ecclectic mix of vintage receipts, grids & ledger.  
Add a splash of modern florals, lattice & quatrefoil & voila! 
You have a kit that has 12 backgrounds that can be used over & over again in ANY projects.  10 of the backgrounds are very versatile, while 2 have Gratitude specific words on them.  LOVE it!
Like all of my Rhonna Designs Printable background papers, you get all of the designs in 2 sizes: this paper pack is offered in 8x10 or 12x12 so no matter what size you need....you are covered!

Ok. This is where I get really excited!  This Cards N Tags kit is sooo fun!  It comes in 10 different designs.  3x5 sized AND a full 8x10 Printable where they are sized smaller: business card size (2 x 3.33)!!!  These darling little gems are perfect for slipping a card into someone's lunch box, under a pillow, wrapped on a gift...OR...I totally see these with family's names on them on the Thanksgiving Table.  
I'm thinking: perfect for a Gratitude Tree...hanging from branches where everyone writes down what they are thankful for. 

And the smaller cards can be printed & cut out... smaller versions & oh. so. cute! imagine: mini banners sewn together, strung across your tablescape, mantle piece, or doorway! Love!

And...of course. This digital brush set is so gorgeous & can be used in so many things to create masterpieces. There really is no limit with what you can create stamping these babies on everything:
cards.
photos.
word art.
scrapbook layouts.
blog posts.

& then using them to print out...hybrid crafting...ahh! the best!

**NOTE: For little tips & tricks with this kit...remember to refer to THIS tutorial. It teaches you how to use some of the brushes in this kit for a cool effect.  There are SOOO many things you can do with digital brushes.  I can't even touch on it all....hence, the step by step tutorials in the How Do You Do That series.  We'll be going from the simplest steps like loading & stamping to more advanced techniques...so, keep up & enjoy the pRocess of learning How to Use & cReate with digital brushes.



And...the Tags N Flags Printables are so great. I've used them on so many things already! It comes with 3 different Printable sheets....This first one is little flags that can be made into mini banners, dessert toppers on toothpicks, or cut & folded to be used on cards, scrapbook layouts, home decor...you name it!
Did you see how cReative Team member Jamie used them? Love this! 

She put them on sticks as Home Decor & mixed them with the Spooky Junque Banner Kit! Darling!

The other 2 printable pages offered in the Tags N Flags Kit are both perfect for printing out on paper or sticker paper....making your own stickers, letters, tags, etc.  

Both have quotes & words that are gratitude geared...I love them! Cut out little snippets for scrapbooking layouts, or cards.


OR
This one is automatic STICKER sheet....cut out the words OR just the letters. All coordinating with the Grateful Glam kits AND versatile enough to be used with any other crafting supplies & embellies.

So many great things to create with these kits....I"m so uplifted & inspired by what the cReative Team always does....I'd also love to see what YOU do with them!

cReative team Tuesday----> fRee pRintable. Fall & Grateful Glam.

Hoping you all got the Rhonna Designs Newsletter....& the special discount & fRee pRintable. We'll be sending out Newsletter No. 2 this week...so, be sure to sign up!  New kits are on the way....but, first..


A huuuuge thanks for the amazing & overwhelming response to the Spooky Junque kits & the NEW Grateful Glam kits! It has been so exciting & has knocked our sox off! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

So...are you ready to be uplifted & inspiRed by my cReative Team today? I'm seriously LOVING their cReativity with their hybrid crafting...i just love it all!

Spooky Junque isn't just for Halloween. Look at how Jamie Pate created this Spooky Junque Banner...


A lot of the flags can be used just for any occasion. Love this! 



Then..on this banner the 'boo' flag is the only one that is Halloweenish...each flag can be paired with other kits, colors, etc....
each flag just inspiRes me!



Look at the attention to detail!

Love the pop up piece Jamie cut out from the Collage paper & the Banner from the kit. It's also in the Spooky Junque Brushes!

a*dore.

Love how Jamie used the Spooky Junque Label 'boo' on the Banner kit...amazing.

gah....this one is simply gorgeous!!!


This map pattern makes me sooo happy...but, LOVE how she stapled the bits of Junque on here, too. adorable!
Ok...I have to say: I think this Persimmon color in the kit is my fave...& LOVE how she used the pieces here...the little flags on top are all from the kit as well as the flower & flag underneath.
it makes me giddy.

Now...Jing is our little gem. I've said it before...there's something so elegant, sophisticated & alluring about her designs. I about fell out of my chair when she sent these to me...
They are the NEW Grateful Glam Cards....& she made them into postcards...
a little mix of the Grateful Glam brushes, & Spring Mix butterflies...& LOOK@!



I adore the 3-d Spring Mix butterflies she's coupled with the Grateful Glam...such a gorgeous twist!






I mean...check out the texture? Jing used Canson Canvas Paper to print on...amazing...such a lovely job on the hybrid crafting....I just adore how she used the Grateful Glam brushes & Grateful Glam Background Paper Printables. mmmm!
The orange butterfly flourish & 'attitude of gratitude' brushes are perfect for this Postcard.
LOVE!

And...check out how Kelly Lautenbach created the most splendid hybrid home decor ...THis is the number of their condo...isn't that amazing!?



She used the Quatrefoil backgrounds and the Washi Tape clusters...LOVE this! Those metal numbers are.
to.
die.
for.
LOVE!




And as if you haven't gotten enough ideas & eye candy for banners...check out Melissa Mortenson's fabric banner! Complete with photos printed on fabric & sewn in! 

She says:

I printed the banner PDF's on muslin (just iron wonderunder to the back and it will go through a printer just fine!)... Then cut them out and ironed them onto canvas. Then stitched around & pinked the edges of the canvas.

Then I printed my photos (adding RD design elements first) on fusible printable fabric... then ironed them onto the banner pieces and stitched around... added some embellishments and strung them up...



Just a note about printing on muslin- it works great but is not water safe- if you drip on the fabric it will bleed- but works great for crafts.

Go on over to her blog to see more images close up of this AMAZING bunting! Love the fabric & photo touches. lovely!

Remember last week's sneak peek of her Joyful Pillow? Well....here's the gorgeous finished product!
I love how Melissa incorporates fabric, sewing, buttons & bling into her creations.
truly uplifting & inspiring!



The embroidery on the Honeycomb pieces just makes me smile. & LOVE the Spring Mix butterflies!

Susan created this stunning quote layout that is sooo inspiRing to me!



 Love how she used the
Washi Tape kit, Spring Mix Butterflies AND the little banners are from the Grateful Glam TagsNFlags kit! Love this photography, too! So, talented! 

And...check out what Nancy Wyatt has created!!!

I adore this Candy Cone kit....it comes with 4 different patterns & little printable embellishments. Look how Nancy did this? 


She printed them out smaller (50%) to make mini cones...filled them with candy & voila!

She photographed it on a framed piece of the Spooky Junque Background kit...& the corner is darling with the little bits of Spooky Junque

gRand opening is...today.



And...it's here.  
I'm excited to finally be opening up my store
Yes, this is a 
Grand Opening...
for a few reasons.

one. It's the beginning of Grand things.
two. LIKE us over on Facebook and we will be giving away some Grand Prizes.
three. I have many Grand ideas in my head to share with you...to uplift and inspire.

Here's my vision of 2 places to gain inspiration: 

where DESIGNS TO UPLIFT AND INSPIRE will be housed. 
A place to house my artwork, workshops, etc.

Rhonna Designs: the blog.
where IDEAS TO UPLIFT AND INSPIRE will be housed.
And this is the place where I, along with my cReative Team, will share ideas, inspiration & a part of our heart & soul with you...

Be sure to check back often...I have many fun ideas & designs dancing in my head...when the kits are complete, I'll be sure to share them with you on this site...

I'll share a few of my faves with you....

One thing I'm excited about is the designs that I have (& will be) designing with other crafts in mind...like this 'She Lives...' word art.

Simple. Powerful. and...was designed with screen printing in mind.
or stamp making.
or home decor.
or.
or... 
you get it. 
So fun. one design can be used in so many ways.
and, it's just plain inspiRing!


The Honeycomb collection makes me smile! I LOVE these Honeycomb Pieces:
Just LOOK at what Nancy created with one of the pieces...LOVE!

And, of course, the Honeycomb printable paper backgrounds just make me plain giddy!
The thing I love so much about these simple patterned papers is: 
they are a 'go-to' for any project. 
Small & large, textured & plain. 
 There is a color scheme, but remember...you can ALWAYS change the colors sooo easily! I'll have a simple step by step tutorial here tomorrow! So, stop on by!

One of my fave collections is the Quatrefoil...I adore the tags. They are large enough to add to layouts, cards...but, you can always re-size them to make them smaller for blogs, photos, invitations...LOVE!
Pin It
I adore the backgrounds...
Pin It

This kit is HUGE. It comes in 8.5x11 plain patterns...but, then, those same patterns are glammed up in 12x12 with tags, colors, patterns....and that is what you see in the preview in the store.  So, imagine these same simple patterns accompanying these glam patterns...all in ONE kit! oh my! ...they make me happy...ready to cReate something!

And..I LOVE tags...you know that. So, these Simple and Fun Tags are deeelightful. Offered in Printable, but also includes the PNG for digital or clip art crafting.
OK.
for now...jump on over to the store to see the DESIGNS TO UPLIFT AND INSPIRE.
Hope you capture my vision...& leave feeling uplifted and inspired.
Thanks so much to everyone for a wonderful response...so excited to take this cReative jouRney with you all!
