Rest and Recharge

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!

Here the list of the Alex Syberia Designs products I used

I hope you like my card and hope I give you some inspirations.

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

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

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!!

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!

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!

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.
