Dream Big

Hi crafty friends !
I don't usually post on Saturday but Yesterday I received a surprise package from Simon Says Stamp with the #stamptember collaboration stamp set with  Alex Syberia Designs so I couldn't help to coloring the gorgeous flowers and make a card.



To make my card I started by stamping the flowers onto Neenah cardstock and coloring them whit copic markers. I fussy cut  and put them aside.
Next up I stamped I die cut a yellow rectangle and I stamped the sentiments and the  some flowers  onto it.

I continued by adding some black ink splashes. Once them dried I glued  the flowers  using ahdesive foam pads and the the front card onto a yellow card base.
As a last touch I added some black pearls and that's!!
Copic I used;
RV29/RV25/RV23/RV21/RV10/RV000/110/T9/T7/T4/T2

Hope you like my card!!
Thank you so much to Simon Says stamps for the appreciated gift and thanks to you for stopping by!

Christmas in pink and blue

Hi crafty friends!

I'm on the Alex Syberia Designs blog today to   share with you a  card  featured on the  September Creative Stamping Magazine!

To make my card I started by stencilling the Festive Poinsettia stencil set onto  a Neenah white cardstock in pink colors for the flowers and in blue shades for the leaves.

Then I stamped  the outlines  using the Festive Poinsettia stamp set and I heat embossed them in white. Next up I die cut the  two poinsettias with the coordinate dies.

I continued by die cutting the white  rectangle  top panel using the Nested Scalloped frames die set and stamping onto it the green foliage from the Festive Poinsettia stamp set .

As a following step I glued the poinsettias  on the card using adhesive foam pads to add dimension.

Next up I stamped and embossed in gold the string sentiment from the “Christmas Sentiments” stamp set and I embossed in white  the sentiment ”Christmas” from  the “Angels Bells" stamp set and I die cut it using the coordinates dies . I glued them over the card and as a last touch I added the matt gold pearls.

You could find more details about the making and the  products I used on the magazine!

It's a Happy Birthday slimline card made with the brand new products:


I started by  stenciling the  Bokeh Balloons Stencil over a piece of Neenah paper a using Distress Oxide inks for the balloons and embossing in gold the ribbon;  then I  die cutting from it  the base  and the top panel using the Slimline Nested Stitched die set.

Next up I embossed tree piece of paper using the  Delicate Bloom Embossing Powder Trio and I die cut from it the various stripes using the Tiny Stripes Cover die.

At this point I started to assemble the card adhering the slimline stitched rectangle  die over a slimline card base and gluing the pastel embossed stripes and the gold ones diagonally.

Using the mousse tape I adhered the top panel  and I start to work at the embossed balloons always using the Bokeh Balloons Stencil  and the WoW embossing ink pad and the Delicate Bloom Embossing Powder Trio .
I cut out the balloons and I adhered them on the card with the purse tape.


I added on the embossed balloons a gold thread  I fixed with  glue.

For the gold foiled sentiment I used It's your Birthday Hot Foil plate and die set and once I added it over the card I finished by adding some rhinestones.



And that's it!
I know you will love the amazing release as I do!

For my project I use the super cute  "Friendly Ghosts" stamp set. It' s really fun to use... you can simpliy stamp each part of the ghost in the color you like and compose your image.


To stamp my little ghost I used Distress Oxide Inks and once I completed the image  I cut it out.

I continued making the structure: I glued a piece of patterned paver over a white card base. Next up I die cute a circle window on a white top panel and then I embossed it with an old Cuttlebug die I had in my stash.
I glued this embossed panel over the patterned paper using the adhesive mousse pads and then I added the cute ghost and the string sentiment I previously stamped and embossed in white on a black paper.
I finished by adding all over in the circle many rhinestones  in the violet and green shades like it is a shaker card.

And that'it!!
