Fall Vibes

Hello everyone!

 

Leaves are starting to turn red and yellow around here, so lot of inspiration for my next card. 

I used the Autumn Sealed Sprigs to create different leaves. And the I colored them with ink an metallic watercolor. I really like how they turned out. For my background I used a beige cardstock and added lot of brown splatters, so it had some more texture.

I used some gorgeous Twine to tie the leaves together. It gives me that organic feel I love. And then for the sentiment I used the new Essential Tags from Lisa Horton. Such a great set. I really like the style of it.

 

Stay cozy and warm.

Hallo zusammen!

 

Die Blätter fangen an, sich hier rot und gelb zu färben, also eine Menge Inspiration für meine nächste Karte. 

Ich habe die Autumn Sealed Sprigs verwendet, um verschiedene Blätter zu gestalten. Und dann habe ich sie mit Tinte und Metallic-Aquarellfarben koloriert. Mir gefällt das Ergebnis sehr gut. Für den Hintergrund habe ich eine beigefarbenes Papier verwendet und viele braune Spritzer hinzugefügt, damit er etwas mehr Struktur bekommt.

Zum Zusammenbinden der Blätter habe ich wunderschönes Garn verwendet. Das gibt mir dieses natürliche Gefühl, das ich so liebe. Und für den Schriftzug habe ich die neuen Essential Tags von Lisa Horton verwendet. Das ist ein tolles Anhänger Set. Ich mag den Stil der Anhänger sehr.

 

Hält euch warm.

Winter Wonder Land

 Hi crafty Friends!

 

I’m sharing a card I created with the Season`s Greeting Evergreens Press Plate. It’s actually a Betterpress plate but as you know you can use them perfectly for foiling.

I did mine with gold hot foil. I found this looks already soo gorgeous... but I decided to add a color in the background. I colored between the trees with Alcohol markers. On the top I wanted to get darker and to achieve a more solid look, I used Ink and applied it with a blending brush. Finally, I added with splatter, so it looks like its snows. I did my sentiment in gold. And also added a white frame, like this I find I looks a little bit like a picture of a gorgeous winter scene.

Thanks for stopping by, Adriana

 

                         

                                    Love the shine 😍

 

Hallo Bastelfreunde!

 

Ich zeige euch heute eine Karte, die ich mit der Season`s Greeting Evergreens Press Plate erstellt habe. Eigentlich ist es eine Betterpress-Platte, aber wie ihr wisst, kann man sie perfekt zum Folieren verwenden.

Ich habe meine mit goldener Heissolie gemacht. Ich finde, das sieht schon soo toll aus... aber ich habe beschlossen, dem Hintergrund noch etwas Farbe zu geben. Ich habe zwischen den Bäumen mit Alcohol Markern gemalt. Oben wollte ich es dunkler und fester machen, also habe ich Tinte verwendet und sie mit einem Pinsel aufgetragen. Zum Schluss habe ich noch Spritzer hinzugefügt, damit es so aussieht, als würde es schneien. Ich habe mein Sentiment in Gold gemacht. Außerdem habe ich einen weißen Rahmen hinzugefügt, so sieht es ein bisschen aus wie ein Bild einer wunderschönen Winterlandschaft.

Danke fürs Vorbeischauen, Adriana

Winter Rose Betterpress and Stencil Set

 

Buongiorno Creative, come state?

Eccomi di nuovo qui con una card creata con la combo Betterpress plate e stencil coordinato. Solitamente quando ho usato questi set mi era sempre più piaciuta la resa ottenuta con i Marker che con gli stencil, ma queste ultime volte mi son ricreduta! Adoro l'effetto con lo stencil! Voi cosa preferite?

Qui ho usato il set Winter Rose Background di Spellbinders che ho foilizzato in oro.

Good Moring crafters , how are you?

Here I am again with a card created with the Betterpress plate and matching stencil combo. Usually when I've used these sets I've always liked the rendering achieved with the Markers better than with the stencils, but these last few times I've come around! I love the effect with the stencil! What do you guys prefer? Here I used the Winter Rose Background set from Spellbinders that I foil stamped in gold.

In seguito ho usato gli stencil coordinati alla pressplate e con i distress ink Barn door e Aged Mahogany ho colorato i fiori, mentre per le foglie ho usato Peeled paint e Forest moss. Infine ho colorato con Olo markers YG8.7 gli spazi bianchi rimasti dopo la colorazione con gli stencil.

In seguito ho preso 2 fustelle del set Notched corner frames etched dies e le ho attaccate allo sfondo che ho colorato e l'ho fatta passare attraverso la mia Bigshot.

Next I used the stencils that coordinated with the pressplate and with the distress inks Barn door and Aged Mahogany I colored the flowers, while for the leaves I used Peeled paint and Forest moss. Finally I colored with Olo markers YG8.7 the white spaces left after coloring with the stencils.

Next I took 2 dies from the Notched corner frames etched dies set and attached them to the background I colored and ran it through my Bigshot machine.

Ricavando una cornice, che ho rifilato con la taglierina.

I carved out a frame, which I trimmed with the cutter.

 

Ho incollato tutti i miei pezzi su un cartoncino dorato ed abbellito con un sentiment di Hello bluebird.

Spero vi piaccia, via auguro uno splendido weekend creativo

un abbraccio 

I glued all my pieces on a gold card and embellished with a Hello bluebird sentiment.

I hope you like it, away I wish you a wonderful creative weekend

a hug

Poppy Background betterpress and stencil

Buona sera carissime crafter!

 Come state? spero tutto bene! Sono entusiasta di mostrarvi questa card stasera! La plate Poppy Background mi piaceva da parecchio ed é tornata disponibile nello shop.

Come mio solito ho voluto usare la press plate per foilizzare! Ho fatto svariate prove con differenti colorazioni di foil e alla fine per questo progetto ho optato per la versione in rosa pastello del set  Satin Pastel Pack.

Volevo creare un look tono su tono e quindi con lo stencil annesso, ho usato ho colorato i fiori con il Distress ink Victorian Velvet e le foglie con Bundled sage e Peeled paint. Mi piace moltissimo il contrasto creato dalla colorazione dei distress con lo sfondo lucido del foil! Voi cosa ne pensate?

Per completare la mia cardo ho usato la fustellata Hello dal set Little Hello Clear stamp etched dies.

Spero vi piaccia, vi auguro buona serata

Good evening dear crafters! 

How are you? hope all is well! I am excited to show you this card tonight! I have liked the Poppy Background plate for quite a while and it is back available in the shop.

As my usual I wanted to use the press plate to foil! I did several trials with different colors of foil and finally for this project I opted for the pastel pink version of the Satin Pastel Pack set.

I wanted to create a tone-on-tone look and so with the stencil attached, I used I colored the flowers with Distress ink Victorian Velvet and the leaves with Bundled sage and Peeled paint. I really like the contrast created by the distress coloring with the shiny foil background! What do you guys think?

To complete my thistle I used the Hello die cut from the Little Hello Clear stamp etched dies set.

I hope you enjoy it, have a great evening

Birthday Balloon Card

Hi everyone!

 

Today I’m sharing a birthday card I created with the Party Balloons from Simon Hurley. I used the Embossing folder with a light yellow cardstock. Then I added colors with ink the coordinating stencil. I used different shades of blue. With the stencil it’s so easy to create this fun colorful background. I lost a little bit of the dimension because of the stenciling, so I put it back into my embossing folder an run it trough again. Then I took the last stencil and added Slippery When Wet Astro Paste. Love all that sparkle. I added a sentiment with the same shades of blue and added there some Astro Paste as well.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Adriana

 

Hallo zusammen!

 

Heute zeige ich euch eine  Geburtstagskarte, die ich mit den Party Balloons von Simon Hurley gestaltet habe. Ich habe den Prägefolder mit einem hellgelben Papier verwendet. Dann habe ich mit Tinte die passende Schablone eingefärbt. Ich habe verschiedene Blauschattierungen verwendet. Mit der Schablone ist es so einfach, diesen farbenfrohen Hintergrund zu gestalten. Durch das Schablonieren habe ich ein wenig von der Dimension verloren, also habe ich es wieder in meinen Prägefolder gelegt und noch einmal durchlaufen lassen. Dann habe ich die letzte Schablone genommen und die Astro-Paste Slippery When Wet hinzugefügt. Ich liebe dieses Glitzern. Ich habe einen Schriftzug in denselben Blautönen hinzugefügt und auch hier etwas Astro Paste hinzugefügt.

 

Danke fürs Vorbeischauen!

Cheesy Christmas!

Buongiorno Creative,

come state? avete visto la nuova release della Lawnfawn? Le novità mi son piaciute moltissimo!

Faccio sempre molta fatica a creare delle card Clean And Simple ed ammiro molto le card maker in grado di creare card fantastiche con pochissimi elementi. Questa volta mi son ispirata a Carly Tee su IG @carlyteeminer e voilà, spero che la card vi piaccia.

Good morning Cardmakers

how are you? have you seen the new Lawnfawn release? I loved the new features!

I always have a hard time creating Clean And Simple cards and I really admire card makers who can create amazing cards with very few elements. This time I was inspired by Carly Tee on IG @carlyteeminer and voila, I hope you enjoy the card.

Ho dapprima colorato 1/3 di sfondo con i Distress oxide : Rustic Wilderness e Scattered straw, poi ho fatto cadere diverse gocce d'acqua e tamponato via il colore e timbrato del pacchi regali da set di vecchi timbri di Natale della Lawnfawn.

I first colored 1/3 background with Distress oxide : Rustic Wilderness and Scattered straw, then dropped several drops of water and dabbed away the color and stamped some gift wrap from Lawnfawn's old Christmas stamp set.

Poi ho timbrato, colorato e fustellato i nuovi timbri Cheesy Christmas ed aggiunto il sentiment Merry Christmas, sempre dalla stessa plancia.

Grazie per esser passate da qui, buona giornata e buon weekend

Then I stamped, colored and die-cut the new Cheesy Christmas stamps and added the Merry Christmas sentiment, again from the same plank.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day and have a great weekend

Cozy flower card

 Hello everyone!

 

I’m sharing another card I created with the Floral Stems. This time I used the flowers for a background. I made an impression with a slightly darker color then my cardstock to create a tone on tone background. I really like this look. And because I used the Betterpress (at the moment on sale) it also gives an amazing texture.

Then I also did a Flower with Versafine Fallen Leaves. This is quite dark, but not as harsh as black. I think this gives a cozy look. Then I colored the flower with markers. I assembled everything together and added a sentiment. I therefor also used the same markers to match my flower.

Thanks for stopping by.

Adriana

 

 

Hallo zusammen!

 

Ich teile eine weitere Karte, die ich mit den Floral Stems gestaltet habe. Diesmal habe ich die Blumen als Hintergrund verwendet. Ich habe einen Abdruck mit einer etwas dunkleren Farbe als mein Papier gemacht, um einen Ton in Ton Hintergrund zu schaffen. Dieser Look gefällt mir sehr gut. Und da ich den Betterpress (gerade Aktion!) verwendet habe, ergibt sich auch eine tolle Textur.

Dann habe ich auch eine Blume mit Versafine Fallen Leaves gemacht. Das ist ziemlich dunkel, aber nicht so hart wie Schwarz. Ich finde, das gibt ein gemütliches Aussehen. Dann habe ich die Blume mit Markern koloriert. Ich habe alles zusammengefügt und einen Spruch hinzugefügt. Dafür habe ich auch die gleichen Marker verwendet, um meine Blume anzupassen.

Danke fürs Vorbeischauen.

It's my birthday! Let's celebrate :D

Buongiorno creative!

Spero di trovarvi bene!  

Oggi in occasione del mio compleanno voglio brindare con voi con questa card!:D ormai l'anno scorso ho compiuto 40 anni e da quest'anno non ho voglia di fare grandi celebrazioni...

Good morning crafters!

I hope to find you well!  

Today on the occasion of my birthday I want to toast with you with this card!:D now last year I turned 40 and since this year I don't feel like making big celebrations...

Per questa card ho usato 3 nuovi prodotti di Spellbinders: Olive Martinis etched dies, Christmas cocktail etched dies and Betterpress cheer sentiments.

Per questa card ho usato 3 nuovi prodotti di Spellbinders: Olive Martinis, Christmas cocktail e Betterpress cheer sentiments.

Le fustellate che trovate in rosa le ho ricavate da un foglio del pad di Studio light Shades of pink dove ho spruzzato il Distress Spritz Worn Lipstick per ottenere un effetto cangiante. Bello l'effetto, non trovate anche voi?

The die cuts you find in pink I made from a sheet of the Studio light Shades of pink pad where I sprayed Distress Spritz Worn Lipstick for an iridescent effect. Nice effect, don't you think so too?

Invece per lo sfondo ho usato la mia Glimmer machine, con la hot foil plate Monoline stars con il foil satinato rosa dal hot foil Roll satin pastel pack.

Vi piace il risultato? Trovo che questo set di fustelle di spellbinders sia molto versatile... ci sono tantissime occasioni per brindare e celebrare, quindi la si può usare per tutte le festività! cosa ne pensate?

Grazie di cuore per esser passate qui a leggere il blog,

vi auguro una giornata radiosa!

un abbraccio

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading the blog,

Poppy`s for Christmas

Hello

So here is my fist Christmas card for this season. I had this gorgeous Glitter Paper from Studio Light which is fantastic! I love the different shades and the best part, the glitter doesn’t rub off. I want it to combine with the Yana’s Poppy Dies. So, I decided to create something like an ice flowers on a snowy galaxy background. I mean, why not.😏 

I cut the outline from the poppies from silver glitter paper and the inlay from white cardstock. Then I colored the inlay with alcohol markers in blue. I also added some strokes with a blue pencil to give it more contrast.

 

For my background I took a dark blue cardstock and added even darker inks around the edges. In the middle I added white pigment ink with a blending tool. Then I added some silver splatters. 

 

Hope you like the card. Have great day.

 

Adriana

 

Hallo

hier ist also meine erste Weihnachtskarte für diese Saison. Ich hatte dieses wunderbare Glitzerpapier von Studio Light, das einfach fantastisch ist! Ich liebe die verschiedenen Schattierungen und das Beste daran ist, dass der Glitter nicht abfärbt. Ich wollte es mit den Yana's Poppy Dies kombinieren. Also beschloss ich, so etwas wie Eisblumen auf einem verschneiten Galaxienhintergrund zu gestalten. Ich meine, warum nicht. 😏

Ich habe die Umrisse der Mohnblumen aus silbernem
Glitzerpapier und die Blume aus weissem Papier geschnitten. Dann habe ich das weisse Papier mit Alkoholmarkern in Blau bemalt. Ausserdem habe ich mit einem blauen Farbstift ein paar Striche gesetzt, um den Kontrast zu verstärken.

 

Für den Hintergrund nahm ich einen dunkelblauen Papier und fügte an den Rändern noch dunklere Farben hinzu. In der Mitte habe ich weiße Pigmenttinte mit einem Blending Tool hinzugefügt. Dann habe ich einige silberne Spritzer hinzugefügt. 

 

Ich hoffe, die Karte gefällt euch. Habt einen schönen Tag.

One design - two cards

Hello everyone!

I don’t know about you but I really love to play with colors. This just makes me happy and I like how you can create different feels. I created these two cards and started with the same base. I used the Flowers Stems press plate to create my image.

Then I colored them with my inks. I really like to watercolor with die ink. I tried to color one flower with more happy and vibrant colors. I also added a little bit of Astro Paste for that amazing glitter effect. 

For my other card I used more muted colors. But I still like to have color on sympathy cards.

I think you can really see the different feel, just by changing the colors.

I added two sentiments from the My Favourite Things Something for everyone stamp set. I really like the stile and the size of it.

Have a nice day.

Adriana

 

 

Hallo zusammen!

Ich weiß nicht, wie es euch geht, aber ich liebe es wirklich, mit Farben zu spielen. Das macht mich einfach glücklich und ich mag es, wie man verschiedene Stimmungen erzeugen kann. Ich habe diese beiden Karten gestaltet und mit der gleichen Basis begonnen. Ich habe die Pressplate Flowers Stems verwendet, um mein Bild zu erstellen. 

Dann habe ich sie mit meiner Stempelfarbe koloriert. Ich mag es sehr, mit Stempeltinte zu aquarellieren. Ich habe versucht, eine Blume mit fröhlicheren und lebhafteren Farben zu malen. Ich habe auch ein wenig

Astro Paste für den tollen Glitzereffekt hinzugefügt. 

Für meine andere Karte habe ich gedecktere Farben verwendet. Aber ich mag es trotzdem, wenn die Trauerkarten Farbe haben.

Ich finde, man kann den Unterschied sehr gut erkennen, wenn man die Farben ändert.

Ich habe zwei verschiedene Sentiments gewählt, beide von My Favourite Things Something for everyone stamp set - mit gefällt ihr Stil und sie sind einfach für alles zu gebrauchen.

Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Tag

Cloud 9 dye pigment ink

Buona sera creative! 

Come state? questi giorni di canicola mi hanno ispirato a creare questa card tropicale!

Good evening creative! 

How are you? these hot days have inspired me to create this tropical card!

Per lo sfondo ho usato i nuovissimi inchiostri Cloud 9 che hanno una resa fantastica ed adoro che siano perlati. Su una carta d'acquarello ho mischiato a caso questi 3 colori: Lemon candy, Summer Garden e Mermaid Lagoon.

For the background I used the brand new Cloud 9 inks which have fantastic rendering and I love that they are pearlescent. On a watercolor paper I randomly mixed these 3 colors: Lemon candy, Summer Garden and Mermaid Lagoon.

 

In seguito ho inchiostrato l'embossing folder Lush Leaves di Spellbinders con dell'inchiostro nero , messo il mio cartoncino colorato e passato nella Platinum 6.

Next I inked Spellbinders' Lush Leaves embossing folder with black ink , put on my colored cardstock and ran it through my Platinum 6.

 

Ho ritagliato una parte del cartoncino per creare un apertura dove posizionare il mio tucano ottenuto con la fustella Tropical dream di Modascrap ed i Paper pad di Studiolight: Shades of green e Shades of pink.

Ho colorato due cartoncini sempre con i tamponi Cloud 9 che ho poi fustellato sentiment Hello dal set Hello smile etched dies. 

I cut out part of the cardstock to create an opening where I could place my toucan obtained with Modascrap's Tropical dream die cut and Studiolight's Paper pads: Shades of green and Shades of pink.

I ink blended two small piece of watercolor paper also with Cloud 9 pads, then I die-cut the sentiment Hello from the Hello smile etched dies set. 

Spero vi sia piaciuta, 

Buona serata 

I hope you enjoyed it, 

Have a nice evening

Combining Products

Hi everyone

I don’t know about you, but when I get new things, I mostly use them as they are intended to be. This also helps me when I’m not feeling very creative but still wants to craft. 

But now I wanted to try how I can combine different products together, and I’m quite happy how it turned out. I used the Autumn Sprigs from Spellbinders and the Floral Whimsy Dynamic Duo from Altenew and was really surprised how good they work together. I did some red and pinks over the Stencil and then added stamping with an even darker red.

I die cut everything with the matching die.

The stems and the lavender I cut from white cardstock and colored them as well with ink and with markers.

For a sentiment I used the Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Merci. I wanted the flowers to be behind my sentiment. So I used a little trick to get the right placement. I glued the shadow from my sentiment down first, added the flowers and finally added another shadow with the sentiment, so I could arrange them easily.

 

 For the background I used an embossing folder just to give a little bit more texture and interest.

 

So hopefully this inspires you to look different on your products, combine them creatively and get a completely different look.

 

Have a fabulous day

Adriana

 

Hallo zusammen

ich weiß nicht, wie es euch geht, aber wenn ich neue Sachen bekomme, benutze ich sie meistens so, wie sie gedacht sind. Das hilft mir auch, wenn ich mal nicht so kreativ bin, aber trotzdem basteln möchte. 

Aber jetzt wollte ich mal ausprobieren, wie ich verschiedene Produkte miteinander kombinieren kann, und ich bin ganz zufrieden damit, wie es geworden ist. Ich habe die Autumn Sprigs von Spellbinders und das Floral Whimsy Dynamic Duo von Altenew verwendet und war wirklich überrascht, wie gut sie zusammen funktionieren. Ich habe etwas Rot und Rosa über die Schablone gelegt und dann mit einem noch dunkleren Rot gestempelt.

Ich habe alles mit der passenden Stanze ausgestanzt.

Die Stängel und den Lavendel habe ich aus weissem Papier geschnitten und ebenfalls mit Tinte und Markern ausgemalt.

 

Für den Spruch habe ich das Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Merci verwendet. Ich wollte, dass die Blumen hinter meinem Spruch stehen. Also habe ich einen kleinen Trick angewandt, um die richtige Platzierung zu erreichen. Ich klebte zuerst den Schatten meines Spruches auf, fügte die Blumen hinzu und fügte schließlich einen weiteren Schatten mit dem Spruch hinzu, so dass ich sie leicht anordnen konnte.

 

Für den Hintergrund habe ich einen Prägefolder verwendet, um etwas mehr Struktur und Interesse zu erzeugen.

 

Ich hoffe, das inspiriert dich dazu, deine Produkte anders zu gestalten, sie kreativ zu kombinieren und einen ganz anderen Look zu erzielen.

 

Habt einen fabelhaften Tag

Last July Christmas card

Buona giorno care creative! come state ?

Oggi vi voglio mostrare la mia ultima card per questo Christmas in July!  

Good day dear creatives !!! how are you ?

Today I want to show you my last card for this Christmas in July !  

Ho usato la betterpress con l'inchiostro distress ink Waltnut Stain con la press plate Buffalo Plaid usando come base un cartoncino Kraft.

I used betterpress with Waltnut Stain distress ink with Buffalo Plaid press plate using Kraft cardstock as a base.

In seguito ho usato la press plate Merriest Christmas  con un cartonino d'acquarello che ho ritagliato con la fustella Notched corner frames etched dies, e poi acquarellato lo sfondo con i distress ink reinker Bundled Sage e Rustic Wilderness.

Next, I used the Merriest Christmas press plate with a watercolor card that I cut out with Notched corner frames etched dies, and then watercolored the background with Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness distress ink reinkers.

Ho voluto incorniciare questa scritta con una cornice dorata  che ho ottenuto fustellando insieme due fustelle del set Notched corner frames etched dies , uno della stessa dimensione del mio cartoncino ed una più grande, con un cartoncino dal set  Gold treasured cardostock.

Infine l'ultimo tocco son state le stelle di natale che ho creato con il set Delivering Joy etched dies.

Spero vi piaccia il risultato, vi ringrazio di cuore di esser passate di qui a leggere il blog, 

Vi auguro una splendida giornata!

I wanted to frame this inscription with a gold frame that I made by die-cutting together two dies from the Notched corner frames etched dies set , one the same size as my cardstock and one larger, with a cardstock from the Gold treasured cardostock set.

Finally the last touch were the poinsettias I created with the Delivering Joy etched dies set.

I hope you like the result, thank you very much for stopping by and reading the blog, 

Have a wonderful day!

Christmas in July...

ou idée pour utiliser le même pressplate pour différentes occasions.
J'utilise ici la plaque qui est comprise dans le pack de la BetterPress pour en faire une version pour Noël.
J'ai disposé les fleurs de façon a occuper les coins et bords de la carte, puis j'ai coloré avec mes feutres SpectrumNoir pour les pétales et les feuilles et un crayon jaune pour le coeur.
J'ai utilisé un or de ma palette aquarelle FineTec pearlescent colors ( mais le papier n'est pas top et on voit les traces 😟) pour remplir tout le fond.
Le sentiment vient d'un ancien SpellbindersClubKits de 2022, il a été fait avec la Glimmer Hot Foil System et le rouleau Blanc Opaque sur cardstock rouge de mon stock mais vous pouvez utiliser celui-ci et pour mettre le sentiment le plus droit possible je me sers du T Square/Ruler et quelques embellissements transparents.

Douce soirée et éclatez vous en créant !

*SandraFée*

or idea to use the same pressplate for different occasions.
Here I use the plate that is included in the BetterPress pack to make a Christmas version.
I arranged the flowers to occupy the corners and edges of the card, then I colored with my SpectrumNoir markers for the petals and leaves and an yellow pencil for the heart.
I used a gold from my FineTec pearlescent colors watercolor palette (but the paper is not great and you can see the marks 😟) to fill the entire background.
The sentiment comes from an old SpellbindersClubKits from 2022, it was made with the Glimmer Hot Foil System and the Opaque White roll on red cardstock from my stock but you can use this one and to put the sentiment as straight as possible I use the T Square/Ruler  and some transparent embellishments.

Have a nice evening and have fun creating!

Press plate Night and Day

Buongiorno a tutti! 

come state?Spero stiate bene nonostante questo caldo estivo arrivato all'improvviso!

Ho visto che negli ultimi anni va molto di voga il "Christmas in July" ho deciso di cominciare anch'io a creare qualche card natalizia.

Good morning everyone! 

How are you doing? I hope you are doing well despite this summer heat that has suddenly arrived! I saw that “Christmas in July” is very much in vogue in recent years, so I decided to start creating some Christmas cards too.

Per queste mie due card ho usato questa nuova DOPPIA press plate Night and day pines !!! Dentro alla confezione abbiamo 2 press plate che fanno la stampa positiva e negativa del soggetto in questione! Trovo che sia geniale!!! Voi cosa ne pensate?

For these two cards of mine I used this new DOUBLE press plate Night and day pines !!! Inside the package we have 2 press plates that do positive and negative printing of the subject in question! I find it to be brilliant !!! What do you guys think?

Per la prima stampa ho usato il negativo, che ho inchiostrato con l'Altenew enchanted gold pigment ink e come cartoncino ho usato uno verde scuro dai pad di StudioLight.

For the first print I used the negative, which I inked with Altenew enchanted gold pigment ink, and as a cardstock I used a dark green one from StudioLight pads.

Per questa seconda card invece ho usato la plate positiva ed inchiostrato con il Distress ink Walnut Stain perché volevo creare degli sfondi che rimanessero un po'neutri per poter dare più importanza agli elementi successivi.

Ho usato la fustella Sealed Christmas Sprigs per creare i rametti e la Stella di natale e per dare una sfumatura maggiore alle foglie, ho intensificato alcune parti con i Copic markers. Invece per ottenere l' effetto cordino, ho usato la fustella Sealed Twine, anch'esso di Spellbinders , insieme ad un cartoncino dorato dal set Gold Assortment Treasured Cardstock.

For this second card, however, I used Positive Plate and inked with Distress ink Walnut Stain because I wanted to create backgrounds that remained somewhat neutral in order to give more importance to the later elements.

I used the Sealed Christmas Sprigs die cut to create the sprigs and the poinsettia and to give more shading to the leaves, I intensified some parts with Copic markers. Instead to get the lanyard effect, I used the Sealed Twine dies, also from Spellbinders , along with a gold cardstock from the Gold Assortment Treasured Cardstock set.

Infine per completare la mia card ho usato la cerlacca dal kit di Spellbinders.

Finally, to complete my card, I used wax from the Spellbinders kit.

Spero vi siano piaciute queste card e grazie per esservi fermate a leggere il blog!

Vi auguro una splendida giornata

I hope you enjoyed these cards and thank you for stopping by and reading the blog!

Have a wonderful day
