Balloons For A Friend

Hi crafty friends! 

I'm here today sharing with you my second card as Crafty Meraki guest designer for September.

This wee the them is "shaker card/shaker elements" so I found the Party Ballons Mini Slimline  Para-dies was perfect for the occasion.

I started by die cutting 7 time the  Party Ballons Mini Slimline  Para-dies on a Neenah Solar White paper and after glued the first 6 layers together I glued them on a white card base.

Next up I colored the balloons die cut (the negative parts of my previus die cutting) using Distress inks; I chose  Carved Pumpkin, Savaged Patina and Spun Sugar. At that point I glued them in the relative spaces and when all is dried I brushed   them with antistatic powder.

I added the stars shaker elements on some ballons' spaces and then I close the card  by gluing  last Party  Balloons die cut  and a clear acetate rectangle.

I continued by the Big Hi sentiment made by die cutting the Meraki Moments Hi Para-Dies, on black, orange, pink and white cardstock.

And as a last thing I added the Happy birthday string sentiment who is a part of the Meraki Moments Hello stamp set and that'it!

Hope you like it!

Thank you for stopping by!

Birthday Bouquet

Hi crafty friends! here I am with a new card to share with you featuring Alex Syberia Designs products.

I've already said how much I love the floral stencil set and I was so happy when I find I'll have soon a new one to play with.

I combined some products of the new release and hope you could appreciate the result.

And now some info about the making process.

As a first thing I stamped the Birthday Bouquet stamp set on a piece of Neenah paper using Versamark ink and then I heat embossed the image in white using the Lawn Fawn white embossing powder.

Next up I used the Birthday Bouquet stencil set  and the Altenew inks to color the image, and as I finished I die cut it using the Birthday Bouquet die set. 

I put it aside and I prepared the card structure.

I  used  the Alhambra Arabesque cover die  over a white cardstock and the Thin Stripes cover die on cardstocks in the same colors I used to color the bouquet image.

I continued by cutting the Alhambra Arabesque  die  cut, vertically in half and by  glueing it over a white card base; beside I glued the colored stripes.

At that point I realised a frame, using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set  (once I put in place the 2 rectangle  dies  I taped and run  them through  my die cutting machine) aand I glued it over the card using foam tape to make the frame pops out.

Next up I added the floral bouquet I previously colored and as a last thing the little sentiment wiho is part of the Birthday Bouquet stamp set.

And that's it!

I hope you llke my card !

Thank you for reading me.

Hello crafty friends!

I'm here today sharing my first card as Crafty Meraki guest designer for September!

I'm so excited to be a part of the  the Crafty Meraki family this month and to play with their amazing products!

Hope you could like my inspiration projects!

This week the theme will be "Focus on sentiment"  and I enjoy so much the time spent making my colorful  card!

To make the card I started by stamping the Enchanting Hugs stamps set on a piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock  using the Angel Pink Memento ink and my Misti stamping tool.

I wanted to color the image using the no lines coloring technique so once I applied the ink I first stamped on scrap of paper to remove a little bit of ink and then on the Neenah cardstock.

At that point the fun began!!

I decided to color the Hugs letters as a teal foil balloons, the flowers in red, the leaves in gold/yellow shades and the berries in violet.

I colored everything with Copic Markers refining the details with Prismacolor pencils and at the end some touch of white gel pen.

Here the   colors I used:

Teal letters

Copic:BG78/BG75/BG72/BG13/BG11/BG10

Prismacolor pencils :Black, Cobalt Turquoise, Aquamarine, Parrot Green, Light Aqua, Light Green , White)

Flowers

Copic: R27/R24/R17/R22/R21/R20/R00

Prismacolor pencils:Tuscan Red, Crimson Red, Scarlet Red, Carmine Red, Permanet Red,  Salmon Pink, white

Leaves 

Copic: Y28/Y26/Y23/Y21/YR24/YR000

Prismacolor pencils : Sepia

Berries

Copic: V09/V06/V05/V04/V01/V000

Prismacolor pencils: Dioxazine Purple Hub,Parma Violet, Lilac, Lavender, Greyed Lavender, White

Next up I die cut the coloring using the Enchanting Hugs coordinate dies, and I glued it on a white card base using foam dots to add dimension,

In the card center I added a string sentiment from the Meraki Moments Hugs stamp set, stamped in black using Versafine ink and outlined whit a teal string cardstock.

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

And that's it!

Hope you like it!

See you in a week for my next post!

Have a great weekend

Ciao Ciao
