Alex Syberia Designs – Panda Party!

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!  

To create this card, I started by stamping my sentiment and then ink blending Catherine Pooler’s Cotton Candy, It’s a Girl, and Party Dress inks.  I gave it a little spritz of water and set aside to let it dry.

Next, I stamped all my pandas from the Cheerful Panda Moments stamp set and added some pink cheeks with Copic markers.  I also added Gelly Roll Pen highlights on each panda.  

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!

Xx, Amanda

Alex Syberia Designs One-Year Anniversary Release Blog Hop | Giveaway | Over £800 ($1000) in prizes

Welcome to the Alex Syberia Designs September Anniversary Release Blog Hop! To celebrate their birthday, Alex Syberia Designs has collaborated with a ton of wonderful sponsors to give away a grand total of £800 ($1000) in prizes! See ALL THE PRIZES down below! 👇👇

My cards feature a lot of the new products! Shop all the NEW PRODUCTS HERE.

Alex Syberia Designs Products in my card:
* Cheerful Panda Moments Stamps & Dies
* Flickering Candlelight Stencil
* Illuminated Night Sky Hot Foil Plate and Die Set
* Birthday and Wish Hot Foil Plate Set
* Birthday and Wish Die Set
* Shiny Diamonds Stencil

To create this first card, I’m going to start by blending my background. My absolute newest favorite craftroom addition is my Glassboard Studio Magnetic Craft Glass Mat! (Use code AMANDA20 to receive 20% off your own mat!!) I have ink blended Catherine Pooler’s Something Borrowed Ink on my entire panel. Next, I’m holding my panel and stencil in place with the magnets and blending Suede Shoes through the Shiny Diamonds Stencil.

If you ever have an issue getting a really good ink blended background, it’s possible you’re not using the right paper or cardstock. The ink should be smooth and easy to blend. Consider using Catherine Pooler’s Premium White Cardstock. It makes the process so much easier!

Once that’s all set, I’ve flicked some white paint and water onto the entire panel. I’ve also used my Gemini FoilPress Machine and my Gemini Jr. to hot foil the Illuminated Night Sky Hot Foil Plate and Die Set directly onto the panel.

Next up, I’m going to stamp my images from the Cheerful Panda Moments Stamps with Copic marker-friendly Memento Tuxedo Black Ink using my MISTI.

I’ve colored my little guys with Copic markers and die cut them out with the coordinating Dies.

Now I’m going to create my sentiments. I’ve used my Gemini FoilPress Machine and my Gemini Jr. to hot foil and die cut my Birthday and Wish Hot Foil Plate Set and Birthday and Wish Die Set.

To assemble my card, I’m using 3D foam squares, 3D foam tape, and liquid glue. I’ve added some Vellum to help my sentiment stick out even more!

For my 2nd card, I used the Flickering Candlelight Stencil as my background! I used Catherine Pooler’s Something Borrowed, Suede Shoes, Cotton Candy, and Party Dress inks. I used a gold pencil for accents!

Alex Syberia Design – Paradise Birds

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!

This card has a few layers to it!  Starting from the largest to the smallest:
1. A2 Sized Card Base: 4.25″ x 5.5″
2. Vellum: 3.5″ x 4.75″
3. White/Green Panel: 3″ x 4.25″
4. White/Pink Panel: 2.75″ x 4″

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.

To assemble my card, I’m using 3D foam squares, 3D foam tape, and liquid glue.

Here are a few close-ups of this sweet card.

Well, friends!  That’s it for me today!!  I hope you have enjoyed this post and find some time to get crafty today!!
