As we are about to close 2023, I'm sharing a festive card to celebrate the new year, featuring the @alexsyberiadesigns Happy new year hot foil plate and coordinating die, and the Brilliant burst hot foil plate which pairs beautifully with the Illuminated night sky hot foil plate. For more fun, I added two cute pandas from the Cheerful panda moments set and used the cocktails from the Paradise birds set. To create the card, I started by blending Distress oxides Prize ribbon and Chipped sapphire in the background. I then used the Brilliant burst and Illuminated night sky hot foil plates to foil the fireworks in gold matte and red speckle. I then stamped the pandas from the Cheerful Panda Moments set and the cocktails from the Paradise birds set on white cardstock. I colored them with Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies for the Cheerful Panda Moments and Paradise Birds. For the sentiment, I used the new Happy New Year hot foil plate which I foiled on white cardst...

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas eve with your loved ones and good food. This Christmas tree was lit with the @pearblossompress One light. The One light makes it so easy to add a cozy feel to your cards. The cute bears are from the Teddy bear Christmas eve set from @whimsystamps. #pearblossompress Stamp and Die Bundle, World’s Best Foam Tape – Double Thick, One light #whimsystamps Teddy bear Christmas eve #concordand9th Festive phrases stamp set #stampersanonymous #timholtz Sparkle stencil #mftstencil Confetti stencil set #tsukineko Memento inks #whimsystamps No-fuss masking sheets #ranger #distressoxide Twisted citron, Rustic wilderness, Mustard seed #heroarts White pigment ink #hydracolour Nugget #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onelayercard #interactivecard #lightupcard #lightupcards #christmas #christmascard

Christmas is just around the corner now and for those who celebrate and/or gather with their relatives, I hope you are having a wonderful and peaceful time. Today is all about gifts and to create this card, I used several @alexsyberiadesigns products from the latest release. One one gift, I used the Festive fun layering stencil to decorate the wrapper and on the other, I used the Magic stars hot foil plate to decorate the ribbon. On both gifts, I created coordinating bows with the Holiday wreath and branch stencil and die set. I also used the Noel hot foil plate and die set. Other products from past releases include the Spring bunnies, Falala friends and Birthday wonderland stamp sets. To create the card, I cut out 2 squares, one big, one small, for the gifts. On the bigger one, I blended Distress oxide Antique linen, on the small one Tattered rose. On the latter, I then blended Antique linen and Lumberjack plaid through the Festive fun layering stencil set. Using the Holiday wreath an...

I reached a huge milestone yesterday on Instagram, 5K followers!! Still can't quite wrap my head around it! While I was secretly hoping for it all along 2023, about a month ago, I was convinced it wasn't going to happen any time soon or worst, that I might have reached my final level. And, in the past 4 days, everything went so fast... So this post is mostly to celebrate and thank each and every one of you who have been supporting me in 2023 and some of you since the very beginning, exactly 3 years ago! And what better way to celebrate than a new Postage stamp card, since, clearly, those have played a huge role in my progression on Instagram in 2023! But this post is also to share the ups and downs of social media, the high expectations and great disappointments, leading to frustration and discouragement sometimes (low likes, low views, unfollowers, and what not), which I have tried to summarize on this card. But today is a happy day for me. It's not lost on me how lucky I ...

Finally took the time to use some of the @pixi_dust_designs mugs I have to make treat holders for my nieces and their parents. You know I'm not so much into die cutting and I have to admit I was pleasantly suprised by how easy and fast those are to assemble #pixidustdesigns Santa mug, Mrs Claus mug, Snowman mug, Penguin mug and Mug add on die sets #thestampmarket Mini tag shaker die #spellbinders Santa’s Sippin’ Sayings #tsukineko Memento ink #ranger #distressoxide Tea dye, Vintage photo, Ground espresso, Tattered rose, Kitsch flamingo, Candied apple, Black soot, Carved pumpkin, Twisted citron, Rustic wilderness, Lost shadow #altenew Brushed silver cardstock #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #diecutting #christmas #christmascard #c9craftschallenge @cloud9craftstore @simonsayschallenge #sssigchallenge 

Sharing a couple lolipop shaker cards I made for my nieces, inspired from @amadorscrafts brilliant design of a popsicle shaker pouch. I used the @teamspellbinders Santa's festive circle crew, designed by @nicholspohr. I wish I've had more time to play with these cuties and the endless possibilities offered by the entire collection, but the good news is some critters would totally be perfect for non-Christmas occasions! #spellbinders Santa's festive circle crew and Festive ornaments #trinitystamps Popsicle die set #simonsaysstamp Candy Cane background cling stamp #mftdienamics Fine finish edge #averyelle Santa tags #heroarts Holiday labels #picketfencestudios Swanky Christmas sentiments #papertreyink Ho ho ho stencil   #tsukineko Memento ink #ranger #distressoxide Candied apple and Tattered rose (background) and for the critters: Tattered rose, Kitsch flamingo, Candied apple, Vintage photo, Ground espresso, Tea-dye, Lost shadow, Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed...

Today, I have a fun light-up card with the @waffleflowercrafts Christmas tree shaker die. I used JJ Bolton @ribbongirls original idea of placing a micro led garland directly inside the shaker. The thickness of the battery container makes it a little tricky, but by adding a double layer of extra thick foam, I managed to hide the battery behind the front panel and make the switch accessible from inside the card. I think the result is totally worth it and will surely wow the recipients! Thank you @ribbongirls for the beautiful inspiration! #waffeflowercrafts Christmas tree shaker die and slim shaker cover, Merry Christmas duo stamp and hot foil plate, Bokeh stencil trio #alexsyberiadesigns Snow stencil #rayher Micro led garland #buttonsandgalore Santa's treats #thiscallsforconfetti Gold hologram gingerbread sequins #spellbinders Glimmer foil Sparkle gold #tsukineko Memento ink #ranger #distressoxide Cracked pistachio, Twisted citron, Mowed lawn, Rustic wilderness, Candied apple, Fired...

I made this pop up easel card for my crafty friend Enna @ritzyhag. The card is bit different from my usual cardstyle and I'm hoping Enna will love it. I know she is the queen of all things shiny and glittery, so I added as much glitter and shimmer as I could. As usual, it's hard to tell with the pictures.

The new @alexsyberiadesigns Midnight Blooms are a pure wonder. Today, I'm sharing a shaker dome featuring the Midnight Blooms in all formats available: stamp and die sets, hot foil plate which I used to dry emboss the front panel and stencil set which I used with Distress oxides and glimmer paste. I also used the new Noel hot foil plate which I foiled directly on the acetate. To create the dome, I used the Timeless blooms celebration die set and partial die-cutting. And for more cuteness, I added some cute bunnies from the Spring bunnies set and gave them some cute Christmas hats from the Falala friends set. To create the card, I started by creating the dome opening on the front panel. I used the half circle die from the Timeless blooms celebration die set and partial die-cutting to cut out only the arch at the top of the dome. With a T-ruler and crafting knife, I cut the bottom part of the dome. I then dry embossed the panel with the Midnight blooms hot foil plates, without using ...

The cute @streamside_studios mice are busy taking Santa's toys out of the workshop to deliver to all kids. Love how the Merry Christmouse and Christmas mice clear stamp sets complement each other!
