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!!

You could find the products I used on the Alex Syberia shop.

Thank you for stopping by!

Gratefiul for you - Instagram Hop

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  to share with you the card I made for the Instagram hop we are having to  celebrate the new Alex Syberia Designs release: the  "Grateful for you collection".

If you want to see all the inspirations of our talented team and for the chance to win fabulous prizes, visit our IG accounts @nicolettaporcu.design or @alexsyberiadesigns.


Now let me share something about the making process:


I started my project  by cutting two large white paper rectangles and  by applying texture paste on them  through the first layer of the Modern Weave Layering stencil set. Once it was dried I place the second layer and applied texture paste again. Once  the paste was dry, I ink blended one  panel using  a violet Altenew inks and I  glued the second one over a white card base.

At that point  I die cut a rectangle (using a die from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set) on the ink blended  front  panel and foam mounted it onto the card.

Next up I stamped the flower bouquet and the sentiment from the Grateful For You stamp set, on  Neenah paper  and I colored it  using the Grateful For You Stencil  and orange, blue, and violet  inks by Altenew.




Next up I  white heat embossed the flower bouquet from the  Grateful For You stamp set ,  and I die cut it and the stencilled one with the coordinate die.
I glued them onto the card  and lastly I added the sentiment I previously stamped and die cut, and some violet rinesthones.

And that's it!
I hope you like my procjet!
And I remember you there are beautiful prizes to win joining us at  our Instagram Hop --@nicolettaporcu.design  and blog hop.

See you soon!

I started by stenciling the "Garden of Blooms stencil set" using the light rose, yellow and green inksaded  applying them in a  very light way on a white cardstock.
Once I finished °I die cut the flowers with the coordinate dies and put them aside.

Next up I die cut the background panel from a White cardstock  using Tiny Flowers Cover die and I glued it on a dark green base card.
I adhered on it a light pink frame  I obteneid using two rectangle dies from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set; I used foam tape to give dimension to the frame.

The Bloom word realised with the Bloom die set, cutting the outlined part in dark green and the top part in many white layers I glued all together to make the word pops.

Merry Christmice

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here, today, sharing with you a new card made thinking about Christmas!

I mixed some products from the latest  Alex Syberia Designs release a with very cute stamp set  from an old release I'm sure  you could appreciate! 

I just enjoy the process playing with some little mice helpers!

This is the card:


To make the card I started by die cutting the background with  the Postage Stamp Cover die, on a Neenah Classic Crest solar white paper and stamping on it the little mice and the ornaments from the Merry Christmice stamp set.

To stamp the scenes I used the masking technique; after everything was stamped and masked I placed over it the Postage Stamp stencil and I ink blended the background' scenes using the Oxide Distress ink Tumbled glass.

 

Next up I peeled off all the masking paper and I colored everything with Copic markers.

Then I added some sentiment and other stamped details from the Merry Christmice stamp set and the Special Delivery stamp set.

 

At that point I made the base card: I die cut a red  cardstock rectangle using the largest die from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set and I glued it over a pink base card; 

Next up I added  the Postage Cover die with the colored scened over  the card , using a piece of an  heavy cardstock to add dimension.

 As a last thing I added the pink and red bows  die cuts (Pretty Bows die set) on the top right  and the pink and gold Joy sentiment(Joy die) in centre's card.

That's that for today too!

 

Hope you like this cute gang as I do!

See you soon!

Rainbow Leaves

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here , today with a a new colourful  card featuring Alex Syberia Designs products: !

Hope you like it!

To make my card,  as a first thing I die cut the Floral Splendor Cover die  on a white cardstock and I glued it over a white rectangle cardstock;  next up I  die cut all the leaves I needed in rainbow colors and I glued them on the top and on the bottom  of the Floral Splendor Cover die cut.

The leaves dies are from the Leafy Duo die set and the Classic Foliage die set.



I cut out the excess  leaves parts  from the panel and I  added it on a white card base using and heavy cardstock between them to  add dimension.

Then I die cut the big sentiment from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set : the outlined part in black and the top one in white in  4 layers I glued all together to make the sentiment pop and I glued it on the card centre,  

As last thing I added some clear dew drops.

And that's that for today too.

Have A Good Day

Hi crafty friends!

Nicoletta here today to share with you a new card I had in mind for a while.

I admired the modern accent of cards with stamped flower images without coloring so I want to tray this technique... I though it was a speedy making process but it takes me more time I expected; but at the end I'm quite happy of the result and hope you like it, too!

To make the card I started from the background : I used the Chevron Chic Cover die ad an embossing folder on a dark green cardstock and I bland all the borders with dark green and black Distress inks; Using a brusk I splashed on it some white acrylic ink and after dried I glued the panel on a black base card.

Next up I stamped  twice the Birthday Bouquet stamp set on X-Press Blending card, using black memento ink.





















I colored the leaves with Copic markers using the follow colors : YG67/YG63/YG61,;after coloring  I die cut them using the coordinate dies 

and I glued them on the bottom part of  embossed green background using foam tape to add dimension and I cut out the excess portions with scissor.

At that  point I prepared the sentiment.

I die cut the "have a good day" big sentiment from the  Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set: I die cut the outlined part in white and the top part in green (5 layers) , I glued them together and then I put the sentiment on the card.

As a last thing I added some white enamel dots and that's it!!!

You could find all products I used on  Alex Syberia Designs shop.

Thank you for reading me!

See you in a week.
