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.

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today, with a new card to share with you featuring Alex Syberia Designs products! It's a very clear and simple card I love how it turned out.

To make my card I started by masking the bottom part of  Neenah solar white cardstock rectangle and by stencilling it, very lightly,  the Chevron Chic Stencil on a  the Sea  Glass Fresh Dye ink by Altenew .

I removed the masking tape and I die cut it with the biggest rectangle from the Nested Scalloped Frames die set  ,and in the whit bottom par I stamped the sentiment from the Smile More stamp set.

Once my background card was ready I put it on a white card base using foam tape to add dimension.

Next up I stamped the images I needed from the Smile More stamp set,  I colored them with Copic Markers and I die cut them using the coordinate dies from the  Smile More die set.

I glued alle the colored images on the card and that's it!

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.

Thank you for stopping by.

See you soon!

You probably have  already seen , the new collection "Grateful For You"  is all about selfcare mixed with autumn accents and it is with these  products I create a my card!

To make my card I started by hot foiling in white a light pink cardstock using the Tiny Autumn Leaves Hot Foil Plate; next up I die cut it using the biggest rectangle from the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set and I glued it on a smallest cardboard rectangle and then  on a white base card creating a white outlined border.

I glued all the leaves' parts together and then I added them  on the top center of the card using foam tape on those outlined in white.

I continued by hot foiling in rich  gold  and die cutting  the sentiment with  the BeLeaf In Yourself Hot Foil plate & die set.
