Alex Syberia Designs Spring Meadow Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

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.

Get the Joys of Spring Release Now!

IT’S TIME!! You can now get your hands on the Catherine Pooler Designs New Release! It’s called Joys of Spring and is full of great Easter and Spring stamps, dies, and much more!

👉🏻👉🏻 GET EARLY ACCESS to this (and EVERY) New Release! Sign up to be a Catherine Pooler StampNation member and get tons of perks, including exclusive crafty Zoom sessions and early ordering for every monthly release!

I made this religious Easter card using the new Easterpalooza Patterned Paper! I
paired it with the new Scalloped Loop Dies to create a frame for my sentiment which is from the new Easter Joy Sentiments Stamp Set.
I created my own background using stamps from the Carrot Bouquet Stamp Set and then colored them with Copic markers.

For this next card, I cut down pieces of the Easterpalooza Patterned Paper and glued them to my card base. My carrot bouquet came from the Carrot Bouquet Stamp Set and then I colored it with Copic markers. I propped it up using 3D foam squares.

For this final card, I used the Easterpalooza Patterned Paper and paired it with the new Greenhouse Gate Cover Plate Die. The flowers are from the Carrot Bouquet Stamp Set. I also added a few sequins from the Easterpalooza Sequin Bundle.

I hope you have a great time shopping the New Collection! Xx, Amanda
