Hey there, crafty friends! Today is an exciting day! Alex Syberia Designs has a NEW RELEASE!! Woohoo! We have a Blog Hop AND an Instagram Hop happening to kick off the excitement!
I have created this stunning card using the new Spring Meadow Dies, Cheerful Meadow Dies, and the sentiment is from the Hoppy Easter Stamps! You can shop the New Release HERE!
To create this beautiful card, I cut all the pieces from the Spring Meadow Dies and Cheerful Meadow Dies. I colored each piece with Copic markers.
I glued the pieces together with liquid glue and then put 3D foam strips behind the entire thing. I adhered it to a piece of dark gray cardstock. I flicked white acrylic paint all over the card with a paintbrush.

Hey friends! I have another card using the new BetterPress plates that Alex Syberia Designs just launched! I just can’t stop playing with them! And this one is even MORE fun because it has a coordinating stencil!
I started by heating up my Glimmer Hot Foil System and trimming a piece of gold foil to A2 size (4.25″x5.5″). Then, I hot foiled the Abstract Background Plate onto a piece of 110lb cardstock. I also hot foiled the Classic Sentiments Plate and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
Then, I used the coordinating stencil to ink blend Catherine Pooler’s Apricot, Clay Mask, Terracotta, Hot Tub, and Skylight inks.
Once I was finished ink blending, I used the smaller of the Nested Stitched Circle Dies to cut out the center of the panel.
I stamped the cute little couple from the Penguin Love Stamps. The umbrella is from the Sweet Friend Stamps. I colored the images with Copic Markers and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.
Next, I glued the inner circle directly to an A2 card base. Then, I put 3D foam strips behind the outer panel and adhered it to the card base. I put foam squares on the back of the images and sentiment and then adhered them to the card. I added a few sequins using my favorite glue.
I love that background so much! Stay tuned because I have another amazing card using the Charming Flora Background Plate next Thursday!

Hey crafty friends! Today is a really run kick-off Blog Hop for the Alex Syberia Designs New February Release! I’m so grateful to be a part of it! There are so many cute and fun products!
For the Blog Hop today, I’m sharing this sweet card that could be for any love event – wedding, bridal shower, Valentine’s, anniversary, and more! I have used the new Penguin Love Stamps, theEndless Hearts Dies, and the Love and XOXO Dies.
Using some Heffy Memo Tape, I masked off the bottom of my card and very lightly blended Catherine Pooler Matcha ink. Then, I used the tape to mask off the top of the card and blended Catherine Pooler Polished ink.
I cut the XOXO’s out using the Love and XOXO Dies. I glued them to the bottom of the card, spacing them as evenly as possibly.
Then, I stamped my penguins from the Penguin Love Stamps. I colored them with Copic markers and added some highlights with a white gel pen. I put 3d foam squares behind them and added them to the card.
The little hearts are from the Endless Hearts Dies and I glued those directly to the card panel.

What do you think about these adorable penguins!? They are included in the “Smile More” stamp set! This stamp set also has some super cute fox critters!
I created this card using a masking technique. First, I stamped the end table, slippers, and the standing penguin. Then, I used some Heffy Doodle Memo Tape to mask off those images. To do this, I stamped the images on the Memo Tape and then cut on the lines. I placed the masks on the stamped images and then stamped my couch & penguins image. Then, I removed the masks and was left with this sweet little scene!
I colored the images with Copic markers and then stamped my sentiment underneath!

Hey guys! In case you missed it, Alex Syberia Designs and Lindy’s Gang have a Collaboration Insta-Hop going on right now! There are some prizes to be won! Plus, check out all the amazing inspiration the teams have created! You can join the Hop on Instagram! But first, scroll down to see how I made these amazing bookmarks!!
Next, I stamped my Alex Syberia Designs Watercolor Flowers Stamps (the solid flowers) with my Wow! Embossing Pad. I applied clear embossing powder to it, and then melted the powder with my favorite heat gun. Once that was cooled down, I sprayed water on my Glass Matand then sprinkled on some of Lindy’s Gang’s Pinkie’s Up and Crumpet Crumbs Magical Shakers into the water. Then, I flipped my bookmark upside down into the glittery gorgeousness until all the white was covered!
For my other bookmark, I stamped my Alex Syberia Designs Watercolor Flowers Stamps (the outline flowers) with Catherine Pooler’s Midnight Ink. I like this ink because it makes crisp images and stays wet enough for me to apply my Clear Embossing Powder onto it! After I’ve applied my powder and heated it up with my heat gun, I’m ready for the next step!
For this bookmark, I’m actually going to apply the water and powder directly onto the bookmark. I’ve also added a bit ofGrab a Guy Gold Starburst Spray to it.
Now to add my cute pandas! I’m using the Cheerful Panda Moments Stamps and Dies and just adding a little bit of color with a gold gel pen and R02 Copic.
Here’s some close-ups of these gorgeous bookmarks!

Next, on another piece of white cardstock, I created my dirt path using Copic colors E21, E53, E23, E25, and E27.
Then I created a wheat field using Y21, YR21, YR23, YR24, and YR27. I added BG70 and BG72 for the sky.
I stamped my little bear from the Collecting Memories stamp set, colored him in with Copic markers, and then die cut him with the coordinating die.

Hello friends! It’s Amanda Fitterer and today’s card that I’m sharing features the new Cheerful Panda Moments stamp set! These pandas require minimal coloring, which makes it much easier to create this panda party!
Once I got them placed and adhered with 3D foam squares, I used my favorite Cutterbee scissors to trim off the overhanging panda parts.
Such an easy but adorable card! Who wouldn’t want to join this Panda Party!?
I hope you enjoyed this sweet little card! Thanks for coming by my blog today!

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a soft and pretty “LOVE YOU” card featuring the Paradise Birds Stamp Set. Let’s make this card together! Grab your supplies!
For the White/Green Panel, we’re going to blend Catherine Pooler’s Melon Ice just around the edges. For the White/Pink panel, we’re going to blend (just lightly in the center) Cotton Candy.
Next up, we’re going to stamp our leaves from the Paradise Birds Stamp Set directly onto our card base using Melon Ice ink. To make this process a little quicker, I like to use a combination of my acrylic blocks and my MISTI. I do this because I want to use the foam from the MISTI to get a better stamped image, but the acrylic blocks make it much faster, as I don’t have to constantly move my stamps around!
We’re ready to stamp our sweet birds now! After stamping with alcohol marker-friendly Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I’m coloring my images with Copic markers. Once finished with that, I’ll die cut them with the coordinating die set.
Well, friends! That’s it for me today!! I hope you have enjoyed this post and find some time to get crafty today!!
