BeLeaf In Yourself

Hi crafty friends I'm here , today , with a new card to share with you!

You probably have  already seen , the new collection "Grateful For You"  is all about selfcare mixed with autumn accents and it is with these  products I create a my card!

To make my card I started by hot foiling in white a light pink cardstock using the Tiny Autumn Leaves Hot Foil Plate; next up I die cut it using the biggest rectangle from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set and I glued it on a smallest cardboard rectangle and then  on a white base card creating a white outlined border.

Next up I die cut the  leaves using the Autumn Leaves die set on a Neenah paper and I colored  the thick part of them applying Distress Oxide inks (Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade)  with a  blending tool; The outlined top parts are die cut in white and in vellum.

I glued all the leaves' parts together and then I added them  on the top center of the card using foam tape on those outlined in white.

I continued by hot foiling in rich  gold  and die cutting  the sentiment with  the BeLeaf In Yourself Hot Foil plate & die set.

I glued it under the leaves and as a last touch I added some gold sequins by Spellbinders.

And that's it! Hope I give you some inspirations about the use of these amazing products.

Time To Stay Cozy

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today, with a new cart to share with you, featuring the new "Grateful For You" ADS collection.

I really enjoy the time I spent making this and hope I could inspire you!

To make the card I used one of my favorite set : the Stay Cozy stamp set and the coordinate dies.

I started by stamping the Stay Cozy stamp set  on X-Press Blending paper and coloring it with copic markers; I added some lines in the rug with Atyou Spica glitter pens.

I die cut the image and the sentiment with the coordinate dies and I put them aside.

 

Next up I used the Tiny Autumn Leaves Hot Foil Plate, as an embossing plate on a 3" 3/4 x 5" white cardstock and I glued it over a 4" 1/2 x 5"3/4 Blue Calypso base card.

At that point I added the Stay Cozy image gluing it with foam tape to add dimension and the little sentiment. I die cut this one in 4 layers : 3 white and 1 in brown I glued a little bit staggered  to create an ombre.

As a last thing I added some Rose Smooth Disc sequins by Spellbinder and that's it!!

You could find the products I used on the Alex Syberia shop.

Gratefiul for you - Instagram Hop

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  to share with you the card I made for the Instagram hop we are having to  celebrate the new Alex Syberia Designs release: the  "Grateful for you collection".

If you want to see all the inspirations of our talented team and for the chance to win fabulous prizes, visit our IG accounts @nicolettaporcu.design or @alexsyberiadesigns.

Now let me share something about the making process:

I started my project  by cutting two large white paper rectangles and  by applying texture paste on them  through the first layer of the Modern Weave Layering stencil set. Once it was dried I place the second layer and applied texture paste again. Once  the paste was dry, I ink blended one  panel using  a violet Altenew inks and I  glued the second one over a white card base.

At that point  I die cut a rectangle (using a die from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set) on the ink blended  front  panel and foam mounted it onto the card.

Next up I stamped the flower bouquet and the sentiment from the Grateful For You stamp set, on  Neenah paper  and I colored it  using the Grateful For You Stencil  and orange, blue, and violet  inks by Altenew.

Next up I  white heat embossed the flower bouquet from the  Grateful For You stamp set ,  and I die cut it and the stencilled one with the coordinate die.

I glued them onto the card  and lastly I added the sentiment I previously stamped and die cut, and some violet rinesthones.

And that's it!

I hope you like my procjet!

Merry Christmice

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here, today, sharing with you a new card made thinking about Christmas!

I mixed some products from the latest  Alex Syberia Designs release a with very cute stamp set  from an old release I'm sure  you could appreciate! 

I just enjoy the process playing with some little mice helpers!

This is the card:

To make the card I started by die cutting the background with  the Postage Stamp Cover die, on a Neenah Classic Crest solar white paper and stamping on it the little mice and the ornaments from the Merry Christmice stamp set.

To stamp the scenes I used the masking technique; after everything was stamped and masked I placed over it the Postage Stamp stencil and I ink blended the background' scenes using the Oxide Distress ink Tumbled glass.

 

Next up I peeled off all the masking paper and I colored everything with Copic markers.

Then I added some sentiment and other stamped details from the Merry Christmice stamp set and the Special Delivery stamp set.

 

At that point I made the base card: I die cut a red  cardstock rectangle using the largest die from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set and I glued it over a pink base card; 

Next up I added  the Postage Cover die with the colored scened over  the card , using a piece of an  heavy cardstock to add dimension.

 As a last thing I added the pink and red bows  die cuts (Pretty Bows die set) on the top right  and the pink and gold Joy sentiment(Joy die) in centre's card.

That's that for today too!

 

Hope you like this cute gang as I do!

See you soon!

I'm here , today with a a new colourful  card featuring Alex Syberia Designs products: !

Hope you like it!

To make my card,  as a first thing I die cut the Floral Splendor Cover die  on a white cardstock and I glued it over a white rectangle cardstock;  next up I  die cut all the leaves I needed in rainbow colors and I glued them on the top and on the bottom  of the Floral Splendor Cover die cut.

The leaves dies are from the Leafy Duo die set and the Classic Foliage die set.

I cut out the excess  leaves parts  from the panel and I  added it on a white card base using and heavy cardstock between them to  add dimension.

Then I die cut the big sentiment from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set : the outlined part in black and the top one in white in  4 layers I glued all together to make the sentiment pop and I glued it on the card centre,  

As last thing I added some clear dew drops.

And that's that for today too.

Have A Good Day

Hi crafty friends!

Nicoletta here today to share with you a new card I had in mind for a while.

I admired the modern accent of cards with stamped flower images without coloring so I want to tray this technique... I though it was a speedy making process but it takes me more time I expected; but at the end I'm quite happy of the result and hope you like it, too!

To make the card I started from the background : I used the Chevron Chic Cover die ad an embossing folder on a dark green cardstock and I bland all the borders with dark green and black Distress inks; Using a brusk I splashed on it some white acrylic ink and after dried I glued the panel on a black base card.

Next up I stamped  twice the Birthday Bouquet stamp set on X-Press Blending card, using black memento ink.

I colored the leaves with Copic markers using the follow colors : YG67/YG63/YG61,;after coloring  I die cut them using the coordinate dies 

and I glued them on the bottom part of  embossed green background using foam tape to add dimension and I cut out the excess portions with scissor.

At that  point I prepared the sentiment.

I die cut the "have a good day" big sentiment from the  Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set: I die cut the outlined part in white and the top part in green (5 layers) , I glued them together and then I put the sentiment on the card.

As a last thing I added some white enamel dots and that's it!!!

You could find all products I used on  Alex Syberia Designs shop.

Thank you for reading me!

See you in a week.

Happy Halloween - Interactive Shaker Card

Hi Crafty friends!

Nicoletta here today to share with you my last card as guest designer for Crafty Meraky!

It is been a really pleasure for me to be here, joining with these amazing products and hope you could notice how much fun  I had making this interactive shaker Halloween card.

To make my card as a first thing I stamped all the images from the  "Fangs For Being My Friend"  stamp set on X-Press Blending Card using  black Memento ink.

After coloring all of them with Copic markers and some touch of white gel pen I die cut everything using the coordinate dies and I put them aside.

At that point I started to work on the card's structure.

I die cut a pink rectangle from a patterned paper, I blended the border using the Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink and I glued it over a black base card.

Over the pink background I stamped the little sentiment by Spellbinders  and  the little spiderwebs from the"Fangs For Being My Friend" stamp set and then I continued to worked on my interactive shaker card.

I  die cut four black rectangle frames from black cardstock and one  from black foam; I glued the first  three frames  on foam, I covered with a transparent acetate and over I glued the last black frame.

Next up I added in  the back  the interactive spiders I previously stamped, colored and die cut. I simply attached them on a transparent Nylon thread  fixing it  on the back of the frame ,

I continued by adding all the sequins and beads  and gluing the base card over the shaker frame.

Next up glued over my shaker card a black branch frame I found in my stash, probably from a crafty swap, and at that point I had only to compose the scene by adding all the images I previously prepared.

As a last touch I added  all  over the brach frame some set of eye with mobile pupils and over the acetate cover, the Boo sentiment  using biggest eyes whit mobile pupils as letter "o"

And that's that!

I really hope you enjoyed your time reading me

I really love to use hot foil plates and peel off the foil from the cardstock  amaze me every time.

Next up I doubled the hot foiled rectangle with a blue cardstock and I glued it on a white base card.

I continued by die cutting all floral parts of the Crafty Meraky Peony Artisan Flora Para-dies using many blue shades of cardstock for the peony and green for the leaves. After assembling the flowers and made the composition I pick up them using a Press'n seal sheet and I glued them over the hot foiled background.

I continued by  adding the big "Hugs" sentiment made by die cutting the Meraki Moments Hugs Para-Dies, on white cardstock for the base (  to add dimesnionI die cut an glued together 4 layers) and on metallic rose gold cardstock for the top.

I added the" & kisses" string sentiment who is a part of the Meraki Moments Hugs  stamp set. I stamped it on a black cardstock using Versamark embossing ink and I embossed it using the WoW! embossing glitter  Fool's gold.

As a last thing I added some Meraki Sparkle Gold rhinestones  and rose gold sequins, using the amazing Twinke  Tray and Bling Buddy Embellishment Wand Tool.
