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.

Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop

Hey guys! I wanted to share how I put together this shaker card for the Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop! To win, you’ll have to head to the Hop on Instagram, but definitely scroll down to see how to make this card and all the awesome supplies I used!!

I used the Heffy Doodle Stitched Birthday Trio Dies with a piece of white cardstock. I then created 3 “scenes” with the 3 cut out pieces. On the top one, I blended Catherine Pooler’s Flirty Fuchsia and Glam inks. I also added some stars using a gold gel pen and the Starfall Stencil. I used Bellini and Mandarin Spice for the middle one. I added a background using the Sleepy Hollow Stencil. The bottom one is blended with Melon Ice and Garden Party and the Sleepy Hollow Stencil.

Next, I stamped my images from the Let’s Hang Out Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic markers and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I used the magnets from my White Glass Magnetic Craft Mat to hold my card base in place while I glued the 3 “scenes” down.

Now, I’m ready to create the shaker portion of the card. I used double sided tape on the back of the frame. Then, I cut down a piece of acetate to fit behind the frame and adhered it.

Then, I added 3D Foam Tape all around the frame.

Now for the super fun part!! Adding shaker mixes! I kept each section separate with the foam tape, so I wanted to use different mixes for each section. On the top, we have the Twiddler’s Nook Burning Embers Embellishment Mix. The middle one contains a mix of the Happy Jacks and the Mulan Princess Rings. The bottom is the Tiana Princess Rings.

Once I added my frame to the top, I added all my cute stamped images to the front of the card.
