Go with the flow

Love the Pod squad clear stamp set from @sweetnovemberstamps. The perspective on that one is just so unexpected and cool. I added a couple critters from previous releases and had to stop myself from adding more dolphins! For this design, I used the @waffleflowercrafts A7 Postage collage die and blocks stencil.

The stars are the limit

I'm on the @alexsyberiadesigns blog today with this light up card, featuring the @pearblossompress Twinkle lights which I paired with the cute bunnies from the @alexsyberiadesigns Hoppy Easter stamp set I hope you'll learn a few tips from below tutorial as I share how to create a flap at the back of the card to change the battery for the light and how I stretched the use of a couple Alex Syberia Designs dies to create this heart sky and rooftop. If you are interested, I have a short reel on my Instagram feed, showing the main steps and also a longer video with spoken instructions on my YT channel.

Never let anyone burst your bubble

I'm sharing another card inspiration with the Space kitties from @thegreetingfarm. I stretched the set a little this time for more fun. I imagined them in soap bubbles with one of those swimming pool belts, but I think the set would also work perfectly to create cute diving kitties under sea. The set is available on @thestampstop web shop.

Aren't those @lalalandcrafts silly pigeons the coolest? The La-La Land Crafts critters are getting cuter and cuter every release and I just can't get enough of them.

With love

The Spring meadow die is an A2 cover die that can be customized with the Spring meadow stencil set and/or the Cheerful meadow die set which is comprised of all the individual flower and critter dies and allows to bring dimension to the cover die. But it can also be used as stand-alone dies in your projects. I love the versatility of this collection which allows to create quick cards with lots of details and so much dimension. Alex Syberia Design products: Spring meadow die Cheerful meadow die set Tulips in bloom (sentiment) To create this card, I die cut the Spring meadow die from sage cardstock. I also die cut the various elements of the Cheerful meadow die set from various cardstock and glitter cardstock. To assemble the card, I adhered the Spring meadow die cut with thin foam tap onto the cardbase. I then glue the flowers with liquid adhesive. For other elements, I used a mix of liquid adhesive and foam tape, using two different thickness, 2 and 3 mm to layer elements. I layered 2 v...

Life would be unbearable without sweets

I have another sweet card with @thegreetingfarm Anya's candy shop and this time, I combined it with a couple sets from @timeforteadesigns.
