Our friendship is magic

For this postage stamp card, I mixed new and old @alexsyberiadesigns sets: the new Grateful for you set has that cute sentiment "Our friendship is magic" and it inspired me to pair it with the Always be yourself set, with those two cute unicorns. Alex Syberia Design products Grateful for you stamp and coordinating stencil Always be yourself Postage stamps cover die and stencil Special delivery Distress oxide: Old paper, Mowed lawn, Tumbled glass, Milled lavender, Squeezed lemonade, Dried marigold, Kitsch flamingo, Festive berries, Speckled egg and iced spruce To create this card, I die cut the Postage stamp cover die from white cardstock. I placed a grip mat in my stamping press and positionned the panel on it. I then covered the panel with the coordinating Postage stamps stencil. I stamped the 2 unicorns with Black Tuxedo Memento ink. I also stamped them on masking paper, fussy cut the images and adhered them on the postage panel. Next, I stamped the floral from the Grateful...

A note to say

Sharing another project for @freakincutestamps featuring the cute Sany, a pretty bunny, playing the trumpet. Meet Sany! It's music day today, and Sany stumbled upon a trumpet. This little mischievous minx, always ready to pull a prank, grabbed it and blew into it very hard! The funny thing is, she was as surprised as her victim since she thought it was a peashooter! Intrigued, she is now wondering how she could use this big bow with multiple strings !

Laughter and love

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas... Christmas is my preferred time of the year. Love the happy and cozy vibes and I think the lights really help convey that feeling.

Resting isn't lazy

Do you like reading a book to relax and rest? Cardmaking eats up most of my free time these last years, so I don't read as much as I used to or as I would like, unfortunately. For this card, I used the new Smile more stamp set and hand-drew the books at the back, using several sets to create the books titles.   Alex Syberia Design products Smile more (Critters, side-table and Resting isn't lazy sentiment) Sweet friend (You are amazing and You warm my heart sentiments) Smile and wave (The stars are the limit and Just smile sentiments) Distress oxide: Scattered straw Distress inks: Vintage photo and Walnut stain To create this card, I started by stamping the critters and side-table on my panel. I also stamped them on masking paper. I then hand-drew all the books. To mask the hand-drawn images, I used a little trick we all learnt as kids, but then probably all forgot about it. I used vellum to reproduce the images. Next, I flipped the vellum and drew over the lines at the back w...

No one measures up to you

I'm so happy to be guest designing for The Sassy Club again this month and can't thank @sandraspitaleri enough for this opportunity. Working with her sets is so much fun and brings me so much joy, bringing back sweet memories. Sandra has so many great sets around food and movie, and I just love that this first card combines both themes. I used two Ratatouille sets: Cheers and Little Chef and had fun recreating (almost) the movie poster. And because Paris is the City of Light I added @pearblossompress EZ-lights in the background. Products: Cheers and Little Chef (The Sassy Club) Paris afternoon and Charming city (Sunny Studios) EZ-light and World's best foam tape (Pear Blossom Press) Snowy window die (Marianne Designs) Brick stencil (Lawn Fawn) KSTD 123 mask (floor) (Stamperia) You baked me happy (Honeybee stamps) Distress oxides: Frayed burlap, Hickory smoke, Black soot, Tea-dye, Pumice stone, Tattered rose, Salty ocean and Chipped sapphire #thesassyclub #thesassyclubstamps...
