You Make My Heart Flutter

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today with a new card to share with you!

I'm in love with the Tulips In Boom set, and I had already used it but there is another  amazing tulips image  I wanted to play with.

To make my card I- started by die cutting a white rectangle using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles die set  and gluing it onto and  white A2 card base.

I blended Wilted Violetand the Mustard Seed Distress Oxide  inks one onto a white cardstock and then I die cut from  it some tiny stripes using the Tiny Stripes Cover die. I glued them in the center of card.

Next up I create a stencil using the Alhambra Arabesque Cover die, and with that die cut I stencilled the pattern over a white cardstock using the  Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks.

I continued by die cutting the stencilled paper into a smaller rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set,  and gluing it in the card's center with an heavy cardstock between them to add a little bit of dimension.

At that point I stamped the Tulips Bloom  and the butterflies image in the Tulips In Bloom stamp set  onto a white cardstock using the Morning Mist Versafine Clair. This time I tried a new cardstock with a linen textured and I'm really happy about the result. I first colored the images with my Copic markers and then I continued with Prismacolor pencils the make the texture pops out.

Once I finisce the coloring I die cut the images using the coordinate dies Tulips In Bloom die set and I glued it on the card using foam tape to add dimension.

As a last thing I added the sentiment; It is also from the Tulips In Bloom stamp set;

I stamped it with Versafine ink on white paper and I add it at the bottom of the card.

Here a recap of the products I used

Japanese Aesthetic

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today, to share with you another card featuring the new amazing "Spring in Kyoto" collection by Spellbinders, designed by Alex Syberia Designs.

It's a very elegant release inspired by the Japanese aesthetic and you could find it at alexsyberiadesigns.com  and alexsyberiadesigns. co.uk.

To create this card , I first stamped the lovey parasols on a rose-cream cardstock using the Sand Versafine Clair ink and the Parasols Betterpress Plate.

I die cut it in a  4 1/4x 5 1/2  panel and a cover it with a  vellum rectangle,.   I then glued it on a black base card.

I continued by die cutting and assembling  the lovely fun using the Fan & Bow Etched dies ; I then used the Blossom & Sentiments Betterpress Plate & die set  to create some  blooms.  I  hot foiled in pale gold the blue and red ones and I stamped in black on cream the others.  using the Press Plate .I also  stamped,  white embossed   and die cut the "For You" sentiment from the same set.

 

  

Next up I adhered the fan,  the blooms  and the sentiment on the card using for some of them foam tape to add dimension.

I used the Kokeshi Dolls BetterPress Plate & die set and I hot foiled the beautiful Kokeshi Doll in a pale gold.  Then I coloured the image with Copic marker; I die cut it and I added the kokeshi in the card using foam tape.

To finish the card  I added some black and gold gems.

Here a recap od all products I used:

Kokeshi Doll in Kyoto

Hi crafty friends!

So excited today to show the card I made with the new Spellbinders collection with Alex Syberia Designs: Spring in Kyoto. It's a very special collection designed by Alex!!I'm a big fan of Kokeshi Dolls and I'm in love with everything about Japan so you can image how much I adore  this release !!

Here the first card I made mixing some  new products :

To make my card I started by the background ! I first, embossed a fawn rectangle using the amazing Floral Fans 3D Embossing Folder  I glued it over bigger white base card. I used a 4"x5" heavy cardstock between the base and the embossed background to add a little bit of  dimension,

Next up I stamped  the cherry blossom images on Neenah paper using the Cherry Blossoms Betterpress Plate & die setand a light pink Memento ink; I colored all with Copic markers adding some touches of Prismacolor pencils and white gel pen and I added them on the card using thin foam dots.

I continued by die cutting the Kokeshi Dolls Etches dies; I used Neenah paper to be able to color the various elements with my Copic markers and once the Kokeshi Dolls was assembled I added her on the card.

I added the sentiment I made by using the Blossoms & Sentiments Betterpress Plated & Die set. I heat embossed the thank you word in white and then I die cut it using the banner die included.

As a last thing I added some little pink flowers and some beads and that's that.

Hope you like my card and this amazing collection!

Somebunny Loves You

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today with a new card to share with you! and this is the time for the Hoppy Easter stamp set ... I know the Easter Holiday has just passed but , this set is so versatile and it can be used for many occasions.

To make my card I started by  creating a rectangle window on a white cardstock using the masking tape; Next up I stencilled   the Abstract Background stencil set using Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade  Distress Oxide inks and I sprayed it with water and white acrylic paint.

I let it dry and then I gently removed the masking tape and I die cut the cardstock in a  A2 rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set.

I glued it over a little bit bigger yellow cardstock and then all together over a white base card.

Once my card's background was done I thought about the top elements.

I die cut 4  white layers of the big sentiment XOXO using the Love& Xoxo die set, I glued all together but before  I blended the bottom of the last one using  Distress Oxide ink.  I glued it, slightly staggered  over  one more xoxo sentiment in Charming Pink  to create and ombre effect and then I glued the completed sentiment on the card.

Next up I stamped the images I needed from the Hoppy Easter stamp set, I colored them using copic markers and then I die cut them with the Happy Easter coordinate dies and I glued them on the card all around the XOXO sentiment.

As s last thing I added the string sentiment  from the Hoppy Easter stamp set, gluing it with am adhesive string mousse to add dimension.

And that's it

Here a products' reacap you could find on the Alex Syberia Designs shop:
