Vibrant Colors and Background Dies!

Vibrant Colors and Background Dies!

Hi Crafty Meraki Friends, Aly here, and I am so excited to be a guest designer on the Crafty Meraki blog for the month of January. For my first card, I wanted to make a Valentine's Card but with vibrant rainbow colors. Come see how I made it! 

When I saw this background die, I just knew I could use it in so many different ways. To start, I ink-blended an A2 sized rainbow background using Rina K's Electro Pop inks on white cardstock. I wanted BOLD colors! I splattered some white gouache and Perfect Pearl on the background as well for some shimmer. Then I cut down the panel a bit and glued it onto an A2 sized white notecard. 

Next, I die-cut the Crafty Meraki Eccentric Hearts background die from white cardstock. I wanted more of the vibrant background to be on display, so I cut out the heart strips and glued only 5 of them on the front card panel. 

After my background was finished, I needed a focal point for my card. When I first saw the images from the Crafty Meraki Birds of Paradise stamp set, I knew immediately I wanted to use the image that looks like a mommy parrot hugging a baby parrot as a Valentine's Card or Mother's Day card. I stamped this image on a heart diecut with black ink as well as the sentiment "Love You" which I got from the Crafty Meraki Love FURever stamp set. I colored in the image with Prismacolor pencils in colors that I tried to match to the background. I also lightly ink blended around the edges of the heart with the leftover ink that was on my blender brushes. 

Because I take so much time making my cards, I have an obsession with decorating the inside of my cards as well as the envelopes. For the envelope, I stamped some of the images from the Birds of Paradise and Love FURever stamp sets in black ink. For the inside of the card, I ink-blended with the same colors along the right edge of the card, glued one last strip of white hearts from the Eccentric Hearts background die, and stamped a little butterfly in black. 

I had so much fun making this card. This card design has a lot of potential to be remade just with different colors or different focal images. I hope that you have enjoyed my first post and that I inspired you in some way today. I wish you all the most magical and crafty day!

I never imagined I would fall victim to an online scam, but that’s exactly what happened. It started innocently enough. I was on a popular social media platform, browsing through posts when I received a direct message from someone claiming to be a “financial expert.” Their pitch seemed solid, and their promises of quick returns on investments seemed too good to pass up. I did my research—or so I thought—but it wasn’t long before my trust led me into a trap. I made an initial deposit to start the investment, and things moved quickly. The first few days were filled with regular updates and even small returns, which convinced me that I was onto something big. But then, the messages started to change. The returns began to slow down, and when I tried to withdraw my funds, I couldn’t get a response. Panic set in as I realized I’d been scammed. i had lost a significant amount of money, and to make matters worse, the scammers had control over my personal details, including access to some of my financial accounts. Desperate for a solution, I turned to Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity service I had heard of through a friend.From the moment I contacted Alpha Spy Nest, I knew I had made the right choice. They took swift action, immediately conducting a thorough investigation into my digital accounts. They discovered that the scammer had used several techniques to track my online activity, intercept communications, and even mimic legitimate financial websites. Alpha Spy Nest’s team of experts worked tirelessly to gather evidence, trace the scammer’s digital footprint, and recover my lost funds.But it didn’t stop there. Alpha Spy Nest helped me secure my online presence by identifying vulnerabilities in my accounts and recommending tools to fortify my digital defenses. They guided me through implementing multi-factor authentication, strengthened my passwords, and even educated me on how to spot future scams.Within days, they were able to trace the scammer’s digital identity, and with the evidence they provided, law enforcement was able to step in. I regained access to my financial accounts and received a refund of the funds that were stolen, though the emotional toll remained.The experience left me shaken, but Alpha Spy Nest’s professional and supportive team helped me not only reclaim my wealth but also regain my peace of mind. Now, I’m more cautious online, but I know I have the right tools and the right support if anything ever happens again.Thanks to Alpha Spy Nest, I’m no longer a victim. I’m a survivor.

It was supposed to be a regular weekend gaming marathon. I was right in the middle of a high-stakes multiplayer battle, really concentrating on how to win the game for my team. Then, there it was-the pop-up: some flashy ad promising a “free upgrade” to enhance my gaming experience. It looked decent enough, and with my urge to get ahead, I clicked on it without a second thought. Big mistake.
What I didn’t know was that the download wasn’t an upgrade; it was malware. Within minutes, strange things began to happen: my computer slowed down, windows opened and closed on their own, and worst of all, my Bitcoin wallet, which held $85,000, was drained. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I had let my guard down, and it cost me dearly. contact with WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 – 2886

I was panicking, and I couldn’t concentrate on anything else. The game that I had been so engrossed in was utterly meaningless. The next few hours were spent blind searching online; I was desperately looking for answers that would help me reverse my mistake. That’s when I discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their name kept popping up on forums and reviews, with each story reassuring me more than the last. I called them, praying they could help me.
Their team was empathetic yet professional right from the very first conversation. They never judged me for falling for such a scam but rather shared with me that they have helped plenty of people in similar situations. The reassurance from them acted like a lifeline, felt in this sea of despair. They walked me through the recovery process step by step, explaining in a manner clear and comforting to understand.
True to their word, Digital Tech Guard Recovery went to work immediately. They kept me informed every step of the way, answering my many questions without once making me feel like I was a nuisance. A few days later, I got the call I’d been hoping for: they had recovered my $85,000.
Relief isn’t even the word that could describe how I felt. They didn’t just save my wallet but gave me a second chance to protect what’s mine. They also provided invaluable advice on how to recognize malicious software and keep my crypto secure.
Now, I’m more in tune and careful with my clicks, especially when gaming on. Thanks to Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I learned that while gaming is fun, nothing’s worth risking your financial security. Lesson learned, and funds restored

One morning in 2025, I woke up to a terrifying shock. My Bitcoin wallets had been hacked, and almost all of my holdings were gone. It felt like a nightmare one that I couldn’t wake up from. I was left with only two of my accounts intact, while the rest had been emptied, leaving me with a sense of complete loss and helplessness. The idea that my hard-earned investments had been stolen in an instant made me feel vulnerable and unsure of where to turn next. After a few hours of scrolling through forums and online articles, I came across DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY. They advertised themselves as experts in recovering hacked crypto accounts, offering a detailed process for restoring lost assets. Initially, I was extremely hesitant. Trusting someone with my personal and financial information seemed risky, especially after the betrayal I’d already experienced. To make matters worse, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY asked for payment upfront before offering any services. This raised even more red flags for me. It felt like a gamble, but I was desperate to recover my lost funds. Despite my doubts, I decided to reach out. The team at DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY responded quickly and professionally, walking me through their process and addressing my concerns. Their transparency and the detailed approach they provided helped me feel more comfortable. I shared the necessary information for the recovery process, and after a few days of back-and-forth communication, they made significant progress. Although not all my wallets were fully restored, they were able to recover the majority of my stolen accounts.
