Happy Birthday - Lindy's Gang Instagram Hop

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today with a new card inspiration!

As many of you already know we are having an Instagram Hop, to celebrate the Alex Syberia Designs and Lindy's Gang ' collaboration. Don't miss out it because there are some gift cards to win :P

To make my card I mixed some ASD new products with the Lindy's Gang Magical Shakers. I'm going to post the creative process on my IG account here as a reel if you are curious about the making.

I started by spreading some  the Lindy's Magical powders on a piece of watercolour paper ( I used the Cheerio Cherry, the Lizzy's Cuppa' Tea Teal,  the Crumpet Crumbs,  the Butter The Toast Blue ) and I sprayed on some water and I dabbed the excess of it with a kitchen towel.  Then I dried the paper with the heat gun.

I continued by hot foiling in gold  the Floral Medley Hot Foil plate on the watercolored paper and die cutting it with the coordinate dies.

Next up I began to prepare my background by adhering the die cut  obtained using the Trend Pattern Cover die on a white rectangle . Over I adhered the watercolored, foiled flowers using foam tape to give dimension. I cut out the excess  parts and I used them to complete the flower composition.

At this point I added the  hot foiled sentiment in the center  and as a last touch I glued some  gold sequins.

That's that!

Hope you like my card :-)

I remember you to join us on our Ig hop !

A flower to say you are loved

Hi crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a new card featuring some products of the new October release "You Are Loved" designed all about self-care.

For my card I chose a monochromatic effect playing with stencils and dies!

I started by stencilling the Trendy Pattern Stencil set onto a Solar White Neenah paper using 3 different  Altenew inks to obtain a monochromatic look.

Next up I die cut the stencilled design using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set and I adhere it on a white cardstock base.

I continued by die cutting 2 layer of  the Trendy Pattern Cover die and gluing them over the stencilled background.

Then I die cut 2 circles, one from a  white paper  and the other one  from a nuanced red light paper,   using the Nested Circle die set, and once glued them together I adhered them in the center of the card using foam tape.

I continued by die cutting the Chic Roses Layering Die set , from a white paper for the flower and from a red one for the leaves. I blended in red the white parts and after assembling all the elements I glued them on the top left  of the circle.

To complete my card I die cut the "You Are Loved" sentiment die from a a silver glittered adhesive foam and I put it on the card.

As a last thing I added some pink rain drops.

and that's that for today too!

Hope you like my card and if you haven't yet check the shop and the ASD blog to see all the new amazing product and the gorgeous DT inspiration.

Have a good day!

Alex Syberia " You Are Loved" new release and Instagram hop

Hi crafty friends!

The brand new "You are Loved" release from Alex Syberia Designs in live!!  It's all about the self-care and you could find gorgeous florals, cute critters and amazingly thoughtful sentiments.

There's sure to be something for everyone!

Check my instagram profile @nicolettaporcu.design to have all the info and follow the lineup  to see all the gorgeous inspirations by the design team.

But now let me share with you the card I made for the occasion!

It's a very simple and clean card but I love how it turned out!

I started by stamping the images from the "Collecting Memories" stamp set on a X-Press Blending paper  and masking them. After I blended in pink the background , I removed the masking paper and I colored the images with Copic markers.  The bear stamp has not a shirt but I liked the idea so I drew and colored it.

Isn't visible in the picture but I covered the rain drops with a glaze gel to give them a 3d a glossy effect,

Next up I die cut the colored scene using a rectangle from the Nested Scalloped Framed die set .

Over it I stamped the sentiment from the Self-Care stamp set and I glued the rectangle onto a white Cardstock card base,

As a last thing I added the flower I preciously stamped , colored and die-cut  using the Collecting Memories die set.

Hope you like my inspiration card !

Join us and good luck!

Hi crafty friends!

I'm back today to share with you the card I made for the ASD October Challenge that requires to create a project following a  Fall color palette or the theme "Embossing Powders! I used  both using some products from the last release!

To join us each month and to see all the beautiful inspirations, for the details and rules to follow please take a look at our Inspiration Challenge Post.

But now let me talk about my inspiration card!

Here the theme and the palette to follow:

To make the card I begun by die cutting 2 rectangle  using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set. I  stamped embossed in gold the larger one using a foliage layer from the Timeless Blooms stamps set.

I continued by adhering it on a white card base and then I  started to work on the smaller light blue rectangle  . I die cut two light blue  floral semicircle using the Timeless Blooms Celebrations die set and I glued them onto it to create a sort of lace background.

Next up I die cut all the flowers and leaves  I needed (following the challenge color palette) using the Delicate blooms die set and I glued them all over the light blue top panel using a thin foam adhesive pads;  Once I cut out the protruding  flower parts I glued this top panel on the blue violet rectangle using the adhesive foam pads.

For the gold embossed  string sentiment I the Celebration Sentiments die set and the coordinate dies.

And that's it!

Hope you like my card and the challenge idea!

I can't wait to see all of your projects!
