Alex Syberia Designs October Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hey guys! Welcome to this super sweet Blog Hop celebrating Alex Syberia Designs’ “Grateful for You” October Release!

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!

You can also start at the Alex Syberia Designs Release Blog Hop Post.

Alex Syberia Designs is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 1 winner and a $15 gift card to 3 lucky winners.

Making an Autumn Stamp Work for Christmas

Hey guys! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I’m sharing a card I made as a Guest Designer for Sunny Studio Stamps.

This stamp is actually from the Autumn Garland Stamps, but I wanted to show you how it could also be used for a Winter card!!  

Do you ever have those days where you don’t really feel like crafting, but you want to do something in your craftroom?  That’s what happened to me!  I just decided to stamp out this beautiful garland, put on a show, and use my Copics to color it in!  I added some highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.

I die cut the image out using the Autumn Garland Dies.  Then, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.5”x4.75”.  I added a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps directly onto my white cardstock.   The background paper is from the Joyful Holiday Paper.  I trimmed this paper down to 4”x5.25” and glued it directly to my card base.  I used 3D foam tape to adhere my white cardstock to my patterned paper.  Then, I used 3D foam squares to adhere my garland to the white cardstock.  


I added a few sequins on the left to help balance out the entire card.  Here’s another photo of the finished card!

A Cozy Card for Christmas

Hey there, crafty friends!  Today, I’m sharing a card I made using some fun products from the Sunny Studio Stamps New Release!  I had so much playing with these products and creating some festive Holiday cards!


To create this cozy little card, I die-cut the pieces from the Decorative Door Dies.  I also die-cut the wreath, bow, trees, and Christmas lights from the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies.  I love how versatile these die sets are!  If you missed my Sunny Studio’s 9th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop card using them on a Halloween card, you can view that blog post here!

I used Copic markers to color all of my pieces.  I love using Copic markers – as opposed to colored cardstock or ink blending – because I feel like I can give the pieces more depth this way.  I place the pieces on a piece of scrap paper so that I don’t ruin my workspace!

Next, I stamped my cozy little friends from the Toasty Hugs Stamp Set in my MISTI.  I colored them in with Copic markers and then cut them out using the coordinating dies with my Gemini Jr.


For my background, I used a piece of paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack.  The “house” is a piece of cardstock ink blended with Catherine Pooler Melon Ice ink.

I stamped my sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps with black ink on the house.  (PS, I LOVE this stamp set!  All of the sentiments are just perfect for the inside or the front of a holiday card!)

You’ll see I also added a few snowflakes inked up with Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink.  I borrowed these from the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps.  Of course, I needed to add a few sequins as well – no card is complete without them!

That’s my adorable holiday card to share with you today!!  I  hope you enjoyed it and I hope you find some time to get crafty today!


Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope the rest of your week is amazing! Xx, Amanda

Picket Fence Studios New Release Cards!

Hey crafty friends!! Did you see the New Release from Picket Fence Studios? I was able to get my hands on some of these goodies and I had such a blast making some cards! I’m excited to share them with you today!

First up, we have this really bright and colorful card that I made using the Fabulous Foiling Toner A2 Card Fronts – Birthday Bash. I took one of the card fronts and cut it down to 5″x3.75″. I ran the card front with the “HAPPY” die through my diecutting machine with the Happy Birthday Word Die Set. Next, I cut the “birthday” die with white and black cardstock. I glued these 2 pieces together to create a shadow effect. I propped my “HAPPY” up with 3D foam strips, also creating a shadow effect. I glued this card front to a piece of black cardstock trimmed to 5.25″ x 4″. Then I glued that to my A2 card base. The final step was to add some Gems!

I used the same products for this card below! But instead of using black, I used gold and vellum!

Now, for some really cool giraffe cards!

This card was made using a really cool technique with Marigold Orange and Daffodil Yellow Paper Glazes! I applied the glazes through the Tree Bark Stencil.

The giraffe is from the Long Neck Family Dies and I cut it out on gold vellum. The sequins are from the Friends in Tall Places Sequin Mix.

This shaker card was made using the same products as the card above! The only difference is that I used the Brass Doorknob Paper Glaze as well.

Wow! What fun new products, huh! I hope you enjoyed looking at my inspiration! If you use the links in this post, they are affiliate links to Picket Fence Studios. This just means that I’ll earn a tiny commission if you buy anything using my links. I’d appreciate it, as that can help me create more content to share with you! Xx, Amanda

Pear Blossom Press & Picket Fence Studios Collab Blog Hop!

Hey guys! Want a chance to win prizes from both Pear Blossom Press and Picket Fence Studios?! In March, we’ll have THREE different Hops for you to enter to win!!

Today we’re kicking off the BLOG HOP!

Come hop along with us and see some awesome light-up cards!  Plus, each company will be giving away $25 PRIZES!  All you have to do to be entered to win is to leave a comment at each stop along our Hop Lineup before March 29th at 11:59 PM EDT.  Winners will be announced on the Pear Blossom Press & Picket Fence Studios Blogs on 3.31.24!

I have created this fun light-up card using products from both companies! Read on to see how I created this card! You’ll be amazed at how EASY it is!!

First, I created my background using the Picket Fence Studios What’s Your Sign Stencil and Pint Sized Paper Pouncers. I blended Catherine Pooler’s All That Jazz and Cummerbund inks.

Next, I stamped my images from the Sugar and Calorie Free Stamp Set. I colored them in with Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment on Perfect Sentiment Cardstock – Black with Embossing ink and then sprinkled white embossing powder on it. I melted the powder with my heat tool and then die cut the sentiment out with the coordinating die. I also used the coordinating dies to cut out my cakes. I used the same dies to cut out 2 plain black pieces of cardstock. I glued the cakes and their black counterparts together on a slight angle, to give the effect of a shadow!

On my card base, I made 3 little pencil dots where I wanted the candles’ flames to be. I also made a little pencil dot where I wanted the ON button to be. For this card, I’m using the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Lights. I used double sided tape to adhere my battery and button where I wanted it. Then I used masking tape to hold my wires and lights in place.

Once I had everything in place, I placed Pear Blossom Press’s World’s Best Foam Tape everywhere except over the lights and battery/button case.

On my card front, I poked 3 holes where my lights are. I placed my Pear Blossom Press Yellow Candle Flame Gems over the lights using liquid glue. Then, I placed my Clay Candles under the flames and adhered them with liquid glue.

I used 3D Foam Squares to prop up my cakes and sentiment. I added a few Catherine Pooler Crater Lake Sequins to finish it off.

That’s how easy it is to create a fun light-up card! I hope you enjoyed my stop on the Blog Hop!

Alex Syberia Designs and Lindy’s Gang Collaboration Bookmarks

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!!

To create my bookmarks, I trimmed down some cardstock to 2″ by 5.5″. I used the We R Makers Crop-A-Dile Multi Punch to punch my hole for my twine. I rounded the edges using the Crop-A-Dile Corner Punch.

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 Mat and 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 of Grab 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!

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!

To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop before Sep 29, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST.  The winner will be announced on the Heffy Doodle Blog on Sep 30th at 10:00 AM EST!

I’m excited to share my card for this Blog Hop with you! I had such a fun time mixing and matching lots of different new products to create this card!

Step 1: Cut 2 panels from the Stitched Rectangle Dies (US Size).

Step 2: Cut the large bubble from the new Look Who’s Talking Die Set.

Step 3: Stamp the fireplace from the Fireside Dreams Stamp Set onto your panel. Stamp it again on some Heffy Memo Tape and then cut it out with scissors. Use this as a mask to keep the ink from getting on your fireplace.

Step 4: Mask off the bottom of your panel with Heffy Memo Tape.

Step 5: Lightly blend Catherine Pooler’s Lemongrass ink all over the background. Then, blend Melon Ice through the NEW Feeling Mighty Pine Stencil.

Step 6: Blend Cotton Candy ink all along the bottom.

Step 7: Color in the fireplace with Copic markers.

Step 8: Stamp out the rest of your images from the Fireside Dreams Stamp Set and Costume Critters Stamp Set. Color them with Copic markers and then die cut them out with their coordinating die sets.

Step 9: Stamp your sentiment from the Happy Holidays Sentiments Stamps on the word bubble.

Step 10: Assemble the card! Glue your background panel directly onto an A2 card base. Use 3D foam tape to add dimension to your word bubble, tree, and pup. Use liquid glue to adhere the rest of the stamped images. Finally, add a few sequins from the new Strawberry Milk Sparkle Mix.

Thanks so much for hopping along with us! I hope you’ve enjoyed my card! Now, let’s get hopping to the next stop, which is Jarle Franceus!

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!!

Let’s Create an Ocean Scene!

Hello and Happy Tuesday, crafty friends!! I hope your week is off to a great start so far! Let’s make this Heffy Doodle Mix and Match card together!

Let’s start with the background! First, we’re going to blend a piece of white cardstock trimmed down to 4″x5.25″. Blend the top of the panel (that will be visible) with Catherine Pooler’s Pucker Up ink. Then, blend Catching Rays ink through the Rays the Roof Stencil. The Simple Sunburst Stencil would also work great here. Next, die cut one of the Silver Linings Cloud Border Dies and add a bit of the Pucker Up ink to the top of it. Now, die cut 4 of the Breaking Waves Border Dies. Ink blend the waves with Minted, Seafoam, and Skylight inks. Spritz all the ink blended areas with water. For the waves, take a bit of the Skylight and flick it with a water brush onto the waves. Do the same with the sky and clouds using Pucker Up.

Now that we have our background done and drying, we can start working on stamping and coloring! Stamp the images from the You Go, Gull and Special Delivery stamp sets. Color them with whatever medium you like! I’m using the OLO alcohol markers. Once they’re all colored, they’re ready to be die cut with the coordinating dies.

The final step is to adhere everything down to an A2 sized white card base! I’ve used my favorite Bearly Arts Precision Craft Glue to attach my clouds and top 2 waves. I’ve used 3D foam tape to attach the bottom 2 waves. Then, I’ve used 3D foam squares for the stamped images and sentiment!

For the finishing touch, I added a few sequins! Did you see the Heffy Doodlers Challenge this month on Facebook? If you like adding sequins to your projects, you might want to enter and maybe win a prize!! You can JOIN HERE!

Well, friends, I hope you’re feeling inspired from this post! Tag me on Instagram if you make a project using this as inspiration!! I’d love to see how you made it your own!! Xx, Amanda

Making a Pocketfold Tri-fold Card with a Bookmark

Hello, my fav crafty peeps! How are you doing? I’m doing AMAZING because I get to share this fun card with you! The new Holly Jolly Christmas Collection from Catherine Pooler is available for purchase now! So make sure you get your goodies before they sell out!!

If you want to buy the whole Christmas Critters Bundle of goodies, you can use this link here.

To create this card, I’ve used the Better Not Pout Patterned Paper Pack, the Naughty List Stamp Set, the Merriest Sentiments Stamp Set, and the Tree Trimmings Die.

I stamped my images from the Naughty List Stamp Set, colored them with Copic markers, and then die cut them with the coordinating die set.

For my center panel, I stamped my sentiment from the Naughty List Stamp Set and then cut it out with the Circles Dies. I also added my dotted circles using the Circle Party Stamp Set and Melon Ice. On a piece of Better Not Pout Patterned Paper, I die cut the Tree Trimmings Die in the center. Then, I adhered my circle cutout in the center with my favorite Bearly Art Glue.

For my bookmark, I trimmed down a piece of Better Not Pout Patterned Paper to 2″x 5″. I rounded off the edges with my most favorite 3-in-1 Corner Punch. I added my hole reinforcer from the Notecard Frame & Tag Dies. I just love the “Fa La La La La’ sentiment from the Merriest Sentiments Stamp Set, so I stamped that in the corner using Midnight Ink. Finally, I added a few pieces of Tuxedo Turquoise Twine.

To get my scalloped edge, I used the Decorate Edge Dies.

To tie the whole thing together, I used a brad and the Party Twist Twine.

Such a fun card filled with cheeriness! Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog today! I appreciate you so much!!

Sweet-n-Spooky Mini Pocketfold Notebook

Have you seen the New Sweet-n-Spooky Bundle from Catherine Pooler?! The release is available now for purchase! Make sure to get your spooky bundle before they sell out!

To make this really fun pocketfold notebook, I trimmed down a piece of Letter size white cardstock to 11″ x 4″ and then folded it into a trifold. Then, I added the too cute Sweet-n-Spooky Patterned Paper to each flap on the inside and the outside.

Then, I created a pocket by trimming down a rectangle piece of patterned paper. I scored at .5″ on 3 sides and then folded at the score lines. Using scissors, I trimmed off the corners of the side and bottom flaps. Next, I can add double sided tape to each flap and then adhere it to my pocketfold.

I created 2 tags using my favorite tag punch.

I cut a piece of black cardstock using the new Eek Boo Cover Plate.

For the mini notebook, I simply trimmed down a piece of the patterned paper to form a book cover. I folded some regular computer paper to form the pages and then stapled them together. I used red SuperTape to adhere my pages to the cover because this tape is super strong.

Next, I stamped my images from the Toil and Trouble Stamp Set and colored them in with Copic markers.

I trimmed down some twine to wrap around my pocketfold, leaving enough to tie into a bow.

Here are more photos of the finished mini pocketfold notebook!

What are you excited about getting from this release??!

Catherine Pooler and Ellen Hutson IG Hop

Hey friends! Did you see that Catherine Pooler and Ellen Hutson kicked off an Instagram Hop together today!? You DO NOT want to miss out! They’re BOTH giving prizes away to 3 lucky winners! Woot!! Head to the IG Hop here.

I’m sharing TWO cards I made using this amazing Float Your Boat stamp set that Catherine Pooler’s team made exclusively for Ellen Hutson. Read on to see how I created these cards!

For my first card, I trimmed down my Parqs and Rec Cover Plate Die to change the sizes of the rectangles. (I love when dies can be used in different ways, don’t you?!).

On a piece of A2 White Premium Cardstock, I blended Something Borrowed, Oh Boy!, All that Jazz, Aquatini, and Minted inks. Then I spritzed my background with water and some paint droplets using a paint brush.

Next, I glued my frame down to my background and then stamped my sentiments using Midnight Ink. I used the White Premium Cardstock to stamp my images from the new Float Your Boat stamp set. I colored my images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating dies. I used 3D foam squares to attach my stamped and cut images to the card front. I added some St. Cloud sequins at the end for a finishing touch!

For my second card, I used Heffy Memo Tape to mask off the bottom of the card front. I used Drive-In and Serenade for my background. Then, I used Black Jack on the bottom of the card for my “road”. I cut the background down using the Notecard Postage Dies. For this card, I stamped images from the Float Your Boat stamp set as well as the Special Delivery stamp set. I added some Sofia sequins to this card!

Those are my cards to share with you today for this really fun IG Hop. I hope you enjoy the Hop and GOOD LUCK!!! Remember, there will be 3 winners! Make sure to check the IG Hop for all the details.

Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop!  We are so excited to share amazing cards from 8 Design Team members using the new release!  For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store!

As part of the Blog Hop, I get to share this fun and happy card showcasing some of the brand new products!! Read on to see how I made this card!

To create this card, I am blending a piece of A2 white cardstock with Drive-In, Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, and Bellini inks. I am using the brand new Heffy Doodle Stitched Birthday Trio Frame Dies to create a frame for my A2 card.

Next, I’m going to place my stamps where I think I’ll want them to go. This helps me see the finished card without committing to anything just yet!

Once I have my selected stamps from the NEW Safari Animals, Koality Hugs, and Mane Squeeze stamp sets, I am coloring them in with Copic markers and then cutting them out with the coordinating die sets.

For my sentiment, I’m stamping a sentiment from the Wild at Heart Sentiments stamp set and then die cutting it out with one of the small dies from the Stitched Rounded Metric Rectangle Dies.

My final step is to assemble the card and add some accents! I’m using the Heffy Doodle Deep Foam Tape to adhere my trio frame to the ink blended background. I’m using 3D foam squares to attach my stamped images and sentiment. For my sequins, I’m using Glubert glue to hold them down.

Here are some close-ups of the finished card!

To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop before May 4th, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST.  The winner will be announced on the Heffy Doodle Blog on May 5th at 10:00 AM EST!

Ridiculously Proud of You

Did you see my last post where I created that beautiful rainbow background with the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate?? Today, I’m going to share the card I made using it!

To make this card, I die cut the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate on a piece of white cardstock.  Once cut, I grabbed another piece of white cardstock and placed it underneath my die cut piece.  Then, I blended a rainbow with Maker Forte Flamingo, Yellowstone, and Neon Lights inks.  This gives me TWO backgrounds at once!

For my sweet pup, I used Enjoy the Little Things stamp set. I colored him with Copic markers and then die cut him with the coordinating dies. I propped him up with 3D foam squares and put him on a piece of round vellum.

For my sentiment, I grabbed my Brighter Days Sentiment Cards and trimmed out the “just so ridiculously proud of you” sentiment.

For the finishing touch, I added some rainbow colored gems!

The next step was to attach my heart background to a black card base with liquid glue.
