Hi crafty friends!!

Today I share with you a new card made with the new Crafty Meraki release! 

So so happy to be a part of this event we are celebrating with a fun Instagram hop !

Hope you could join us to see the amazing project of the @Crafty_Meraki design team and have the chance to win  fabulous prizes.

For all details please visit our IG accounts : mine @nicolettaporcu.design

But now let me share something about my card:

As you could see is an interactive card made featuring the follow products:

Magic Maker box die

Humming Harmony stamp set

Humming Harmony die set

Twinkle Tray

Bling buddy Embellishment wand tool

Sparkly Sunny Illusion Rhinestones

To make the card, as a first thing I stamped the Humming Harmony stamp set on a X-Press Copic paper,  using my Misty and black Memento ink.

Next up I colored everything with Copic markers, adding little dots of Atyou Spica glitter gel pens on hummingbirds.

It's really hard to capture the shine effect with the camera but I assure you the hummingbirds are iridescent.

Once everything was colored I die cut the images using the Humming Harmony die set, and I put them aside .

I continued by die cutting my base card using the Magic Maker box die; the base in white and the scalloped top part from a blue green paper.

I assembled the card and then I added the colored images using foam glue dots and plastic strings to help the birds and flowers to stay in place.

Once all the images and sentiment are glued I added some Sparkly Sunny Illusion Rhinestones  as a last touch.

To apply the rhinestones I used the amazing Crafty Meraki  tools: 

Twinkle Tray

Bling buddy Embellishment wand tool

This card fold down completely flat so you can mail it  too!!

And that's that!

Hope you like my card and hope many of you would participate at our IG Hop @nicolettaporcu.design

It's Your Day

Hi crafty friends!

here today with a new card featuring Alex Syberia Designs products.

This time I 'm focused on die set from the past release I love but I hadn't  used yet! Hope you like it!

Let me say something about the making process!

As a first thing I die cut the Mysterious Petals  on a white cardstock and after positioned every single part on my sticky mat I  colored all the pieces with Distress inks and Altenew inks. 

I put together the floral branch and then I start to work on the base card.

I die cut the Chevron Chic Cover die from a white cardstock and I glued it on a white card base.

Next up I used the Charming Flora Cover die on a white cardstock and I  lightly blended the center with a pink ink and from it I cut out a smallest rectangle and outlined  it with a lilac and fuchsia cardstock. 

I glued this rectangle on Chevron chic base and over I added the floral brach I previously arranged.

As a last thing I added he sentiment string I realised by using the  Just Because Hot Foil & die set, hot foiling it in gold, and some pink rhinestone.

And that's that for today too!

Merry Christma to you

Hi crafty friends!

Here I am to share with you a new inpiration card for the theme "Christmas in July!

Despite the very hot weather here I get the Christmas atmosphere  to create this very clean and simple card! Actually it's never to early to start  thinking about Christmas, don't you think?

 

Now let me share some info about the making process.

I started by die cutting the black background panel using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set  and stamping and embossing in white the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Festive Poinsettia stamp set ,  on it!

Next up I die cut the Holly leaves and berries using dies from the Jingle Bell Joy die set, and  the Winter Foliage die set,I blended the leaves using a white ink on the centre of every leave and green and black Distress Oxide ink in the edges; Then I added some white line in every leaves using a white gel pen.

I continued by gluing all the leaves ant berries on the black panel using thin foam pads to add a little bit of dimension and I cut out the protruding  parts with scissor.

At this point I glued the panel on a white card base and as a last touch I added many glold rhinestones.

And that's that !

Hope you like it!

Blue Flowers for a friend

Hi crafty friends!

I'm  back today to share with you another floral card  featuring Alex Syberia Designs products ! this time I chose a  blue monochromatic style  for the Copic coloring ! I'm quite happy how it  turned out and hope you like it too.

Let me say something about the making process. To start I die cut a scalloped blu rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set and I glued it over a white card base. 

Next up I used the Charming Flora Cover die on a white cardstock And I glued it over the blu scalloped background using adhesive foam tape to add dimension.

I continued by stamping and embossing in white the lovely flowers from the Bouquet of Blessing stamp set. I colored them using blue Copic markers and then I used prismacolor pencil to put the refinishing touches.

I die cut them using the Bouquet of Blessings coordinate dies and I glued on the card using foam pads.

The last thing was the sentiment; I used the Friend die set, to obtain a white sentiment outlined in black, and then I added the sentence which is a part of the Bouquet of Blessing  stamp set.

Delicate Heartfelt Blossom

Hi crafty friends!

Nicoletta here today sharing my latest card featuring the new collection by Alex Syberia Designs.

This time I tried to make a very delicate card using vellum for stamping and embossing! here is what came up!!

Let me say something about the making process!

As a first thing I used the Meadow Magic Cover die  on a colored sugar paper and then I glued it over a white base card using the foam tape to add dimension.

Next up I stamped on vellum the Heartfelt Blossom stamp set using Versamark ink and I embossed in white the flowers and I die cut them using the coordinate Heartfelt Blossom die set.

I stamped, embossed and die cute  the image twice and I glued them on my colored sugar paper background.

To avoid you don't see any glue I used clear glue dots.

 To complete my flower composition I added some leaves I die cut in vellum using the Leafy Duo die set and on the bottom right I added the gold hot foiled  string sentiment I made using the Just Because Hot foil and die set.

As a last thing I added gold and clear rhineshones.

Sweet Friend

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here with a new card featuring some new Alex Syberia Designs products.

Hope you like it!

To make the card I started by preparing the base and background card.

As a first thing I die cut a white rectangle using the Nested Scalloped Frames die set  and I blended it using some Distress inks: Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold , Ripe Parsimmon and Scattered Straw. After that I spayed some water on the paper!

The result is a very colourful background! I glued it on white card base and then I hot foiled in gold the Tiny Hearts Hot foil plate, I die cut a rectangle and I used the Quirky Hearts die set to cut out a rectangle.

I glued it on the colorful background using foam pads to add dimension and I glued in the heart space a  stencilled yellow clouds paper.

Next up I die cut many  heart shapes using the largest heart die from the Quirky Hearts die set,  I glued them all together putting on the top the one I  previously die cut  from the hot foiled rectangle and blended in the same colors I used for the background; with it I framed my cloudy heart.

At that moment all I needed to do was add the top elements to complete the card.

 

I stamped the lovely mices and the tiny trio harts from the Sweet Friend stamp set, I colored them with Copic markers , die cut them using the coordinate die , and glued them on the card.

 

As a last thing I added the little sentiments  who are a part of the Sweet Friend stamp set and that's that.

What do you think about? Aren't these mice so so cute?

I really love them!

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Ciao ciao

Sending you so much love

Hi crafty friends!

Nicoletta here today sharing my latest card featuring the new collection by Alex Syberia Designs.

I really can't say what is my favourite product but guys!! the Beautiful Day set is absolutely amazing!

To make my card I started creating the background: I hot foiled in gold the Tiny Hearts hot foil plate on a white cardstock ,  then I die cut it using the Chevron chic Cover die and I glued the positive  and negative die cuts onto a white base card.

Next up I hot foiled  in gold the Beautiful Day Hot Foil Plate onto a White Neenah Paper , I stencilled them using the Beautiful Day Stencil set and I die cut them using the coordinate die.

At that point I glued the two floral die cuts on the background using foam tape to add dimension and as a last thing I added the sentiment : the string one is a stamp from the Beautiful Day stamp set die cut with the coordinate die and the love word is another  die cut.

That's that for today !

Hope you like my inspiration!

Thank you for stopping by!
