Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hey everyone! Today I'm guest designing for the Alex Syberia Designs February release Instagram hop.  **Add**  For this card I used the Tiny Flowers cover die, the Giraffe-ic Friends stamp set and coordinating die set and the Love & Hugs die set. There's a Danish childrens song about a giraffe that meets a rhino who wants to dance. His long neck means he can't dance, so he gets sad. Until he meets a girl giraffe who'd rather entwine their necks 💕 This was my inspiration for this card. I stamped the giraffes in brown ink to make the spots brown and then used light brown Copic markers to color them. I stamped and die cut 8 of the flowers in the set, colored them with Copic markers and placed them to make a heart. The bushes are inkblended using Mowed lawn and Rustic Wilderness Oxide inks and I colored the tiny hearts in with a Posca marker. The Love word and shadow are cut from 2 shades of pink cardstock, and I then added a bit of Stickles to make it sparkle. I did

  Hey everyone! Today I'm guest designing for the Alex Syberia Designs February release - **ADD For the blog hop today I've made a slimline card using techniques from 2 cardmakers that I admire. It's a one-layer card which obviously means I had to do some masking and I swear with every fuzzy cut mask I was thinking of all the reels and cards that Sylvie has made with masking, she is a QUEEN!! The torn edge rainbow is inspiration from Kati who does everything in rainbows and I love it all!  I used Abandaned coral, Squeezed lemonade, Tumbled glass and Shaded lilac Distress Oxide inks for the rainbow and then added some specks through the Speckled background stencil. The adorable bunnies are from the Spring Bunnies set. I used almost all of the bunnies because they're just so cute! The set doesn't include a banner, though. So I placed the stamp in my Misti and bend the edges upward, then cut a small mask to make the banner and colored in the lines with a fine line pe

  Hey guys, I really love this one. It's a Make it Crafty digital stamp "Felicity". At the same time it's bittersweet, because every time I color one of Zoe's stamps I regret not buying all of them 😔 I'm thinking of keeping this one.

  Hey everyone, I'm up on the Alex Syberia Designs blog today with a set of cute cards that can be used for either birthday or Christmas and I absolutely love that these stamps can be used for both! I'm using the Smile and Wave  stamps and dies along with the Smile die .  **Add, since I'm on the design team, but the opinions are my own** The cards were made in the same way. I lightly spritzed a bit of water on both sides of my cardstock, to prevent too much warping. I then carefully added my color burst powders, for the pink card I used Lindy's magical shaker Magnolia magenta gold. I really love the wimsical look and thought these backgrounds were perfect for these cute penguins riding their snowboards. Sigh! Just look at those "golden" spots, much more shimmery in real life. And I really love the pink and blue speks in there. These penguins are having snow much fun, pun intended.   I Copic colored the darling penguins and die cut them with the coordinating
