Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hi crafty friends, Nicoletta back today with a new festive card to share with you!

I'm having so much fun using not  Christmas products to create  festive cards and this time I played with the  Carnival Party stencil and die set.  Hope you like the results!

To make my card I started by stencilling the Carnival Party stencil and die set   on a Neenah Paper using Coral Red and Velvet fresh inks By Altenew. I continued stencilling some green  and  sand  confetti using  the Confetti stencil set.

Next up I die cut the stencilled paper  using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set and I glued it over a white base card using foam tape to add dimension.

At that point I only add the sentiment to finish my card: I used the Happy New year die set,  and the Christmas sentiments stamp set  and the coordinate dies for the  red  Merry Christmas string .

And that's that!

Hope you I give you some inspirations!

Thank you for stopping by.

Choose Joy Every Day

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

Since Christmas is just around the corner and I chose to make a Christmas card mixing some elements from the new collection with some "old" products.

To make my card I started from the background  by  die cutting a rectangle from  a white cardstock using the largest rectangle die from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die set and  next up I stencilling  on it the Falling Snow stencil   using a texture white paste. I let it dry and I glued it on a white card base using foam tape to add dimension.

I continued by die cutting all the elements from the Whismy Blooms Bouquet die set... the leaves in green and the flowers  and bow in red. I assembled the bouquet on the snowy background.

At that point I added the sentiment : I stamped in black the "Choose Every Day" string from the Christmas Sentiments stamp set  and I die cut it using the coordinate dies.

Looking at my card seems it missed something so after thinking for a while, I decided to add two little bunnies  from the Spring Bunnies stamp set. I stamped them on a Press Blending paper,  I lightly colored them with Copic markers and I die cut them with the coordinate dies.

That's that!

Hope I give you some inspiration about these products using,

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon.

It's Your Time To Bloom

Hi crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing with you my latest card with you!

As I saw the new Alex Syberia Designs collection the Urban Blooms die attract me and I tested it immediately on a white cardstock and saw the beautiful results .

So this time I picked up that test and I made my card! Hope you like it!

But now let me share some making process info:

As a last thing I used the  Urban Blooms die on a white cardstock and wit a small blender brush I colored in pink all the flowers and in the back I glued some pieces of yellow cardstock under  the flowers' center corrisponda,

Next up I embossed  and die cut my acqua background using the Meadow Cover die, I cut out a circle in the top of it using the Nested Circle Stitched die set and I placed it  to frame the  Urban Blooms making the flowers pop up from it.

 

At that point I die cute a white quilted rectangle using the the biggest die from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set 

and i glued it slightly offset,  under the acqua rectangle,  in a way that's in the left of the rectangle all the pierced part was visible.

I continued by adding a yellow frame on the flowers circle spot; I obtained it using the two circle dies  from the Nested Circle Stitched die set.

I wanted more flowers in the circle spot so I die cut some using the Meadow Cover die; first I blended them with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide and then  I added them all around the big flowers.

Before adding the last thing I glued the top card obtained on a white cardstock base.

At that point I added the sentiments ; the big Bloom die  cut (the top part in dark brown and the outlined one in white) and the little sentiment from the Grateful For You stamp set I die cut using the coordinate die Grateful For You die set.

As last touched I added Glossy accents on the yellow  flowers spots  and some clear rain drops.

Here all products I used:

Urban Blooms die

Bloom die 

Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set

Nested Circle Stitched die set

Meadow Cover die

Grateful For You stamp set

As you can see at the appearance seems a simple card the it needed some time to get finished.

I really enjoy the the time spent making it and I it could inspire you to create  your own artwork using these 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!!
