Spring Garden

Hi crafty friends!

Is Nicoletta here with a new colorful card! I'm pretty satisfied how about it turned out! all these colors make smile and  I really hope the card can put a smile on your face too!

I started to work on my  white background  with the Meadow Magic Cover die  and once I die cut my textured panel I adhered it on a white cardstock base.

Next up I start to play with the Garden Tweets die set and I die cut all the flowers and leaves I needed in different colors. I assembled  them with mousse pads to give dimension and once finished I glued the leaves and the flower on the white base, arranging them on the sides.

I left the center for the big sentiment "Smile",  die cutting it ( from the same set " Garden Tweets") in black and in many layers I glued all together to add dimension.

And that's it!!

here some other pictures :

Hope you like my card!

Thank you for stopping by!

Flowers with love

Hi crafty friends!

Today I  share with you a new card featuring some other products from the newest Sunkissed Memories release.

It 's time for a product  I absolutely love : the Chrysanthemum stamp set . This is a layering stamp set and it is composed by a large 4-step chrysanthemum flower and a 3-step leaf  to  create gorgeous and intricate flowers!! 

 I started  by choosing the red shades of red I needed and I simply enjoy by stamping the various flower and leaf layers !! It's really like a magic to watch the flowers pop out from paper!

Next up I die cut all the flowers and leaves using the coordinate dies : the Chrysanthemum die set.

I continued adhering the die cuts on a light blue card base , using foam pads to give dimension and as last thing I added the sentiment "With Love" made by foiling in gold the Love & Hugs Hotfoil Plates and die cutting it with the Love & Hugs Die Set.  I die cut the sentiment in many layers and I glued them together  and then I add it on the card.

That's it!

Hope you like my inspiration !

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy birthday to the greatest mom

Hi Crafty friends!  So happy today to share with you the card  featured on the May Creative Stamping Magazine!

To make this card I started blending the Squeezed Lemonade Oxide ink over a piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock using a blending brush.Then I emboss it using  the Pureland Fan Stencil and using the  Nested Scalloped Frames I die cut the rectangle to be my background. 

I glued it over a white card base and I continued stencilling the Gorgeous Peonies”  by Alex Syberia Designs in pink, orange, yellow and blue shades for the blooms and on green shades for the leaves using Distress inks. Then I die cut flowers and leaves using the coordinate dies and I glued them on the yellow background .

Remember that when you use layering stencils to obtain crisp images be sure the  ink blended part o is  completely dry before continue with the following layer. To speed up the dry process you could use the heat gun after every layer.

As a last step I foil in rose and die cut the sentiment ”Mom” using the “For Her"  hot foil plate and coordinate dies and I glue it over the flowers composition and in top of it  I add a the sentiment string from "For Her Sentiments" stamp set.

And that's it!

You could find more details about the making and the products I used on the magazine!

Hi Crafty friends!  So happy today to share with you the card  featured in the May Die Cutting Essentials Magazine!

There is no need to tell you how I'm honoured about it !

But let me tell you something about the making process!

To make this card I started die cutting  the Floral Lattice Cover die from vellum and  gluing it over a white card base I previously lightly blended with Savage Patina Distress Oxide  and in whichI added  some gold ink splatters.

Next up , using  the Classic Foliage die set, I die cut  the leaves from a teal cardstock and the flowers using  the   Fantasy Flowers die set.

I die cut the base of the flowers from   different  colour  papers  , the inside in black and glittered gold , and the top petals in white  and I colour them with Copic markers adding shades and dimension.

I continue gluing all the flowers and leaves on the card base and as a next step , using the "Expressing Gratitude Sentiments" stamps and dies ,  I stamped, embossed in gold  and die cut the sentiment. I placed it over the card and as a last touch I add some gold rhinestones.

Rainbows and unicorns

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  here today to share with you a new card featuring the new collection products!

I'm so happy about the result and I hope you like it too! but let me show you!

To make this card I used the Joyful Rainbow Stencil set,  the Always Be Yourself stamps set and his  coordinate die set, the Rainbow Sentiments stamp set  and his coordinate dies, the Glowing Geometry Hot Foil Plate and the Nested Scalloped Frames die set.

I started   die cutting a scallop rectangle from a lilac cardstock using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set ,  then embossing it using the   Glowing Geometry Hot Foil Plate as embossing folder and gluing it over a white cardstock base card.  The white  base is smaller than the lilac background because I didn't want it was visible.

As a next step I die cut a rectangle from a piece of Neenah paper and over  I stencilled the  Joyful Rainbow Stencil  using a soft pink ,  lilac  and grey inks and heat embossing in gold the middle arch. I continued embossing,  die cutting the "love star" from the Rainbow Sentiments stamp set and  gluing it at on side of the rainbow.

Below I stamped the sentiment "Dream Big" and all around the little pink and black stars .

Next upI glued the decorated rectangle over the card using foam pads and them  I printed , die cut and colored  the sweet unicorn from the Always Be Yourself stamps set  and the string sentiment from the Rainbow Sentiments stamp set .

I glued them over the card with foam pads  to give dimension and as a last touch I added some gold little stars.

And that's it!

Hope you like the card and hope I give you some inspiration!

Hi crafty friends! Nicoletta here to share another card using products from the last and amazing release "Time to Choose Magic"!

I started  hot foiling the background of my card  using the Glowing Geometry Hot Foil Plate and a teal foil. Next up I used one of the rectangle dies from the Nested Scallop frame Die Set to cut out the background panel and  from it an other rectangle out of the foiled panel and then I glued both of them on a light rose card base. I used the adhesive mousse pads for the make the smallest rectangle pops.    

I continued ie cutting the little flowers and leaved using Petit Periwinkles Die Set and I glued everything over the card. Next up I foiled the sentiment  using the For Her sentiments Hotfoil plate and die cutting it in many layers with the For Her sentiments die set. Once I glued the layers together I add it on the flowers composition.
