Thinking About Christmas

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today to share with you another Christmas card featuring Alex Syberia Designs  products!

I think you have understood I'm waiting for that time of the year and that why I am so inspired !

To make my card I started by stencil the Chic Bows Stencil set  on a piece of Neenah Paper using the Sand Dune Versafine Claire ink and the Pink Sand Fresh Dye ink by Altenew. Then I die cut it into a dotted rectangle using a frame from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set .

I outlined it with a cream scalloped frame and I glued al on my base card.

Than I die cut the big sentiment using the Holly Jolly die;

I die cut many layers  of it in light pink cardstock and another layer in a darker one;  I glued  the lighter ones  all together to add dimension and then the darker one slightly staggered to create and ombre effect.

I added the sentiment on the card's center and under it I glued some foliage I die cut using the  and Winter Foliage die setand the Jingle Bell Joy die set;

On the pink big sentiment I added a gold Merry Christmas die cut I made using a die from the Bow Ho Ho Frame die setand as a last thing I added some gold beads all over the card.

Jingle Bell Joy

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today to share my latest card  with you!

Since here we are suffering a weather with very hight temperature I'm already dreaming about Christmas so I show you my "Christmas in July" card made using Alex Syberia Designs  products!

Hope you like it

To make the card I started by die cutting the rectangle  top panel from a dotted patterned paper, using a die from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set

I stamped over  it the sentiments and the little trees using the Christmas Sentiments stamp set and then I die cut all the elements from the Jingle Bell Joy die set. I used red cardstocks for the bells and green ones for the leaves! I assembled and glued everything under the stamped sentiment  and I added the cream Pretty Bow die on the bells.

Next up I added on the bottom of my panel the banner sentiment relized using the Christmas Sentiments stamp set and  Christmas Sentiments die set ; I glued it using foam pads to add dimension.

At that point I die cut a the Postage Stamp cover die in a dark green and I glued it over a craft base card, I added the decorated top paned using and heavy cardstock between the layers to add a little bit of dimension and as a last thing I added two little metallic red stars to give a touch of color  between the stamped sentiments.

That's it!!

Ghost Sentiment On Summer Flower

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  here,  today, sharing  a new card with you, featuring the Summer Flower Press Plate  and the "ghost" sentiment technique.

To make my card I started by placing  the Summer Flower Press plate  on  Betterpress Letterpress system machine and  lightly inking it with a black archivial ink. Then I run the Betterpress "sandwich" on my Platinum 6 die cut machine to transfer the image on the watercolour paper.

Next I watercolored the summer flowers using the Schmincke  Horadam watercolours  in many shades of green and I traced the  floral's outline using a  black pen.

Once the coloring dried I die cut the Floral image  into a rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set and then I  stamped the black sentiments, from the Abstract Background Stamp set,   on the Summer Flower petals.  I got the idea from my friend Sylvie @Kaliscard.

Next up I continued making the Ghost or Eclipse Sentiment!

I die cut the "friend" sentimet, from the Delicate Frame & Friend die set,  directly above the colored flower creating a hidden on it and I glued it on white base card.  Then I die cut 4 other "friends" from a black cardstock and I glued them on the hidden spaces putting at the top the colored one I die cut from the colored flower.

In this way the die cut ghost  sentiment pops out .

I added some white gel pen touch and that's it!

Below a recap of the products I used:

Summer Flower Press Plate

Abstract Background Stamp set

Nested Scalloped Frames die set

Delicate Frame & Friend die set

Charming Flowers For Your Birthday

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here, today, sharing with you a new card made using one of my favorite Betterxpress and coordinate stencil by Alex Syberia Designs.

I'm talking about the Charming floral Background Press plate and the coordinate Charming Floral Background Stencil set.

I love the colors Como I used for my last card so I chose to use a similar one for this card.

To make my card I started by impressing the Charming Flora Background Press Plate  on a Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock ,  I run Betterpress Letterpress system machine on my Platinum 6 die cut machine  to transfer the floral outlines  only  on the cardstock without inking them. I used those impressed lines as a trace for coloring the flowers and leaves with  the Charming Floral Background Stencil set.and some Fresh Dye inks from Altenew.

Once the stencil coloring was finished I added the black stamens and  some white gel touch  on the flowers and leaves,

The I die cut the floral image using a dotted rectangle die from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set and I glued it over a white base card.

 

At this Point I added the big sentiment I made using the Large Hello die set, die cutting the outlined base in vellum and the top one in five white layers. I assembled the sentiment and I glued it on the card.

 

ThenI added the little string sentiment I made using   the Celebration Sentiments Stamp set,
