JAMAIS !

 Attention très long article !
( vu la taille de cet article, je vous laisse le soin de demander à votre traducteur préféré de faire son job , merci beaucoup !)

 Ah non,non! jamais, jamais, c'est commercial ce truc !.....
c'est ce que je disais de la Betterpress à sa sortie  il y a 1 an...sauf que...jamais est arrivé mardi 2 juillet😅

Je voyais les magnifiques créations faites avec elle et j'avoue que ces derniers 3-4 mois elle commençait sérieusement à me taquiner, cette coquine !

Elle ne fait pas QUE l'embossage (creux) mais ses plaques vont AUSSI pour la machine dite Hot Foil

Je me suis donc amusée comme une fofolle à tester mon nouveau joujou et j'avoue que je l'adooore !

 Voici la chose :

 Ma première impression/utilisation a été avec l'encre noire ( pas fait de photo sorry) et la 2ème tentative à été de faire une "impression" avec 2 encres de couleurs différentes :

 que j'ai colorée avec les feutres SpectrumNoir puis ajouté un effet "mouillé" en embossant à chaud avec la WOW embossing Powder Clear Gloss :

Puis j'ai testé avec les crayons Faber Castell et la plaque Paon :

La même plaque mais coloré avec les feutres :

La plaque fleurs qui est fournie avec la Betterpress, j'ai ressortis mes aquarelles Mijello Mission Gold :

Et la plaque qu'une amie m'a offerte, première photo avec fond distress oxide , encre noire BetterpressInk 

coloration crayons:

 et bien sûr, avec ma Glimmer Hot Foil  ( divers rouleaux ), première photo j'ai utilisé  Aura ( j'en ai faite une carte mais je l'ai envoyée et oublié de faire une photo, glups):

 

 

Et la 2ème avec la couleur Rainbow :

J'ai aussi testé plusieurs papiers l'officiel qui est top et 3 sortes de papiers aquarelle mais je m'arrête ici car sinon vous allez vous endormir profondément hihi

Bref, j'adooore la Betterpress et vous allez me voir l'utiliser souvent !

A bientôt,

Floral Backgrounds with the Betterpress

Hello! 

Today I’m sharing two cards I created with some backgrounds I made last week. I finally got the Betterpress! Yeah! And I must say, I really love it. I mostly like that you can use the Pressplates with the Betterpress, means with ink and also with foil. So you get a lot from a Product.

I created all the Backgrounds with the Floral Celebration Press Plate. I used mostly Altenew inks and one I foiled with gold foil. Then I colored the flowers with the coordinating Stencil. 

 

For my first card I decided to let the gorgeous background be the focal point of my card. I had so much texture because of the Betterpress. And I only added a white stripe on the bottom an added there my sentiment. 

 

For my second card I used some vellum, so the sentiment stands out more, but you still can see the background. I used the same gold foil for my sentiment to match the flowers. I also added some small Flowers, and finally I rounded two edges so it adds a little interest.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hallo! 

Heute teile ich zwei Karten, die ich mit einigen Hintergründen gestaltet habe, die ich letzte Woche gemacht habe. Ich habe endlich die Betterpress bekommen! Yeah! Und ich muss sagen, dass ich sie wirklich liebe. Mir gefällt vor allem, dass man die Pressplates mit der Betterpress verwenden kann, also mit Tinte und auch mit Folie. So bekommt man viel von einem Produkt.

Die Hintergründe habe ich alle mit der Floral Celebration Press Plate gestaltet. Ich habe hauptsächlich Altenew-Tinten verwendet und eine mit Goldfolie veredelt. Dann habe ich die Blumen mit der dazugehörigen Schablone koloriert. 

 

Für meine erste Karte habe ich mich entschieden, den wunderschönen Hintergrund zum Mittelpunkt der Karte zu machen. Durch die Betterpress hatte ich so viel Textur. Und ich habe nur einen weißen Streifen am unteren Rand hinzugefügt und dort meinen Schriftzug eingefügt. 

 

Für meine zweite Karte habe ich etwas Vellum verwendet, damit der Spruch besser zur Geltung kommt, aber man kann immer noch den Hintergrund sehen. Für den Spruch habe ich die gleiche Goldfolie verwendet, damit er zu den Blumen passt. Außerdem habe ich noch ein paar kleine Blumen hinzugefügt und zwei Kanten abgerundet, um die Karte noch interessanter zu machen.

 

Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen!

Clean and simple - with much love

Hello everyone!

 

Today I’m sharing quite a simple card. Sometimes I love a simple design, just to say someone, how much we love them.

For this card I used the Butterfly Swirls. Its actually a Press plate, I foiled it with pewter foil. Then I colored them with my markers. I had to be careful not to blend to much color, because otherwise I would have taken away the foil.

For my background I used little bit of ink with water to crate that soft watercolor look. I also added some splatter. And now it's ready to spread some love. 💕

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Adriana

 

 

Hallo zusammen!

 

Heute teile ich eine ganz einfache Karte. Manchmal liebe ich ein einfaches Design, nur um jemandem zu sagen, wie sehr wir ihn lieben.

Für diese Karte habe ich die Butterfly Swirls verwendet. Es ist eigentlich eine Pressplatte, die ich mit Hot Foil Pewter Folie gemacht habe. Dann habe ich sie mit meinen Markern ausgemalt. Ich musste aufpassen, dass ich nicht zu viel Farbe verwischte, denn sonst hätte ich die Folie weggenommen.

Für den Hintergrund habe ich ein wenig Tinte mit Wasser verwendet, um den weichen Aquarell-Look zu erzielen. Ich habe auch ein paar Spritzer hinzugefügt. Und jetzt ist sie bereit, um etwas Liebe zu verbreiten. 💕

 

Danke fürs Vorbeischauen!

Combining: watercolor, hot foil and betterpress

 Buona sera a tutte,

spero di trovarvi bene! Oggi ho ricevuto un pacco da Scraphouse e non ho resistito ed ho voluto fare queste cards! Mi piace uscire dal mio solito stile e devo ringraziare Marjolein per avermi fatto notare quando sia interessante questa nuova placca per la betterpress!

 Good evening everyone,

I hope to find you well! Today I received a package from Scraphouse and I couldn't resist and wanted to make these cards! I like to get out of my usual style and I have to thank Marjolein for pointing out to me how interesting this new betterpress plaque is!

Ho usato la betterpress plate Spring Magnolias sul cartoncino apposito d'acquarello , una volta ottenuto le mie stampe, ho colorato con i Lindy's: Kissin' couple crimson e Dunka biscuit blue green. Ho messo un po' di polvere in una tavolozza d'acquarello ed aggiunto dell'acqua, una volta miscelati insieme ho ottenuto il colore per dipingere fiori e foglie. Una volta asciutti, ho aggiunto dei dettagli con le matite colorate e poi li ho ritagliati con la fustella coordinata.

I used the betterpress plate Spring Magnolias on the appropriate watercolor board , once I got my prints, I colored with Lindy's: Kissin' couple crimson and Dunka biscuit blue green. I put some powder in a watercolor palette and added water, once mixed together I got the color to paint flowers and leaves. Once dry, I added details with colored pencils and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

In seguito ho usato le due placche Spotlight circle duo. Ho iniziato con il cerchio con le righe ed ho sfumato l'inchiostro nero per la betterpress con Rose Gold pigment di Altenew. Per un caso fortuito avevo un stencil di MFT con un cerchio della misura esatta della mia stampa, per cui lo usato come mascheratura per fare degli schizzi d'oro con il Gold pale japanese watercolor.

Next, I used the Spotlight circle duo plates. I started with the circle with the stripes and shaded the black ink for the betterpress with Rose Gold pigment from Altenew. By a fluke I had a stencil from MFT with a circle the exact size of my print, so I used it as a masking to make gold splashes with Gold pale japanese watercolor.

Per il secondo sfondo ho usato la plate circolare con i puntini insieme all' Enchanted gold pigment ink di Altenew.

Per abbellire ho usato i sentiment foilizzato d'oro dal set Must have sentiments hot foil di Simon Hurley per Spellbinders.

Spero vi piacciano queste due card,

buona serata e vi auguro un magnifico weekend!

un abbraccio 

For the second background, I used the circular dot plate along with Altenew's Enchanted gold pigment ink.

To embellish I used gold foil sentiments from Simon Hurley's Must have sentiments hot foil set for Spellbinders.

I hope you enjoy these two cards,

have a great evening and have a wonderful weekend!

a hug

Merci!!

Happy Friday everyone!

 

Today I’m sharing a card I created with the new Merci die from Lawn Fawn. 

I started by stenciling all the flowers from the Altenew Floral Wimsy Dinamic Duo Set. Then I added details with gold embossing powder. I actually wanted to use to whole flower panel like a patterned paper, but then my sentiment would have covered up the biggest flowers. So I decided to cut them out with the coordinating dies.

For the gorgeous MERCI I used a inlay Technique so,  it really looks like the gold is engraved in the paper. Then I’m scattered all the flowers around, until I liked how they looked and glued them down. I also created  round edges to give the card a little bit a softer look.

I hope you find some inspiration. 

Have a wonderful day.

 

Adriana

 

Einen schönen Freitag euch allen!

 

Heute zeige ich euch eine Karte, die ich mit der neuen Merci-Stanze von Lawn Fawn gestaltet habe. 

Zuerst habe ich alle Blumen aus dem Altenew Floral Wimsy Dinamic Duo Set mit Schablonen und Stepelfarbe gemacht. Dann habe ich mit Goldprägepulver Details hinzugefügt. Eigentlich wollte ich das ganzen Blumen wie ein gemustertes Papier verwenden, aber dann hätte mein Spruch die größten Blumen verdeckt. Also habe ich beschlossen, sie mit den passenden Stanzen auszuschneiden.

Für das wunderschöne MERCI habe ich eine Inlay Technik verwendet, so dass es wirklich so aussieht, als wäre das Gold in das Papier eingraviert. Dann habe ich alle Blumen verstreut, bis sie mir gefielen, und sie dann aufgeklebt. Ich habe auch runde Ränder gemacht, um der Karte einen etwas weicheren Stil zu geben.

Ich hoffe, Sie finden etwas Inspiration. 

Habt einen wunderschönen Tag.

Ice cream makes everthing better!

 Buongiorno creative!

come ogni mio post son felicissima di presentarvi questa nuova card! Mi ci son voluti 3 giorni per decidere che tipologia di card volevo creare per valorizzare al meglio questa nuova release della Lawnfawn. Mi son goduta il processo di costruzione di questo biglietto e devo dire che dopo tanti mesi dove non son stata bene di salute, ho apprezzato tantissimo questi attimi di creatività e divertimento!

..ma ora basta parlare di me e torniamo alla card!

 Good morning dear crafty friends!

as with each of my posts I am so happy to introduce you to this new card! It took me 3 days to decide what kind of card I wanted to create to make the most of this new release from Lawnfawn. I enjoyed the process of building this card and I have to say that after so many months where I have not been well with my health, I so appreciated these moments of creativity and fun!

..But enough about me and back to the card!

Ho tagliato da un Bazzill bianco una striscia larga 15 cm x 30 cm ed ho cordonato a 10 e 20 cm.

I cut from a white Bazzill a strip 15 cm x 30 cm wide and scored at 10 and 20 cm.      

bon la fustella Ta-da!Diorama shop add on dies ho ricavato una finestrella come da foto.

With the Ta-da!Diorama shop add on dies I cut out a small window as pictured.

Con del washi tape ho fissato il brick stencil al cartoncino e creato uno sfondo che ricordasse appunto un muro. Ho colorato prima con il Distress Oxide lost shadow e poi per dare un po' di dimensione ho usato un grigio più scuro il Weathered wood.

With washi tape I attached the brick stencil to the cardstock and created a background that would precisely resemble a wall. I colored first with Distress Oxide lost shadow and then to give it some dimension I used a darker gray Weathered wood.

Ho incollato alla finestrella un pezzo di acetato per ricreare l'effetto finestra/vetrina e poi mattato con un cartoncino con la stessa trama a mattoni.

I glued a piece of acetate to the small window to recreate the window/window effect and then matted it with cardboard with the same brick texture.

Ho colorato la tendina ed il cespuglio ( ricavato con la fustella Cloud borders ) con i Copic. 

I colored the curtain and the bush ( made with the Cloud borders die cut ) with Copics. 

Ho voluto creare l'interno della gelateria creando il bancone gelati. Ho tagliato un cartoncino bianco da cui creato un' aletta da attaccare alla base della card e colorato con i copic per ricordare una texture di marmo ed abbellito con gli elementi del set Treat cart stamps.

I wanted to create the interior of the ice cream shop by creating the ice cream counter. I cut a white card and cut out a flap to attach to the base of the card and colored with copics to resemble a marble texture and embellished with elements from the Treat cart stamps set.

...e voila questo è il risultato finale, fronte e retro, spero vi sia piaciuto!

Grazie per esser passate da qui e vi auguro una splendida giornata!

...And voila this is the final result, front and back. I hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Sweet Baby Card

Hi everyone!

 

Today I’m sharing a sweet baby card. Used the Birthday Dinosaur from Spellbinders for this. This is just soo sweet and I love adding all the little details. For the background I used patterned Paper Mimosa from les Ateliers de Karin. This gives so much texture.

I Used the Spellbinders Make a Wish Arch Die Set to create a shaped card. You just hang the die over the side of your card and tadaaa a shaped card. 

I also used Glossy Accent to add some shine to the hearts and the letters. Because of that the letters look a little bit darker, but I like that little bit of shine on a card.

 

Have a wonderful day

Adriana

 

 

Hallo Zäme!

 

Heute zeige ich eine süße Babykarte. Dafür habe ich den Birthday Dinosaurier von Spellbinders verwendet. Die Karte ist einfach so süß und ich liebe all die kleinen Details. Für den Hintergrund habe ich das gemusterte Papier Mimosa von les Ateliers de Karin verwendet. Das gibt so viel Textur.

Ich habe das Spellbinders Stanzerset Make a Wish Arch verwendet, um eine runde Karte zu gestalten. Man hängt die Stanze einfach über die Seite der Karte und tadaaa, eine halbrunde Karte. 

Ich habe auch Glanzakzent verwendet, um den Herzen und den Buchstaben etwas Glanz zu verleihen. Dadurch sehen die Buchstaben zwar ein bisschen dunkler aus, aber ich mag dieses bisschen Glanz auf einer Karte.

 

Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Tag

Adriana

3 different cards using Altenew Baroque Elegance

Ciao a tutti! 
Spero di trovarvi bene! oggi vi mostre 3 card diverse usando la stessa press plate di Altenew Baroque elegance.
Ho cominciato provando a colorare la press plate con le solar paste neon di Simon Hurley Tangent, Yellow Jacket, Hot mess, Mood ring, Dart frog e No Chill. Come potete notare dalla foto, alcuni punti il colore si é un po sbavato, ma nessuna paura, passando poi con l'inchiostro nero su tutto il cartoncino, andrà a coprire le parte macchiate.

Hi everyone!!! 
I hope to find you well! today I am showing you 3 different cards using the same press plate from Altenew Baroque elegance .
I started by trying to color the press plate with Simon Hurley's neon solar pastes Tangent, Yellow Jacket, Hot mess, Mood ring, Dart frog and No Chill. As you can see from the photo, some places the color smudged a bit, but no fear, going through then with black ink on the whole cardboard, will go to cover the stained parts.

In seguito ho voluto creare altre combinazioni usando i distress oxide e un inchiostro bianco sul Kraft per vedere che effetto veniva ed ho ottenuto i seguenti sfondi:

Later I wanted to create other combinations using distress oxides and a white ink on the Kraft to see what effect came and got the following backgrounds:

 

 

Infine ho scelto 3 di questi sfondi per creare il mio tris di card:

Finally, I chose 3 of these backgrounds to create my trio of cards:

Ho usato una fustella della Lawfawn Stitched rectangle frames per fagliare lo sfondo ed ho incollato i pezzi su in cartoncino olografico ed abbellito con un sentimento della concord9th.

I used a die cut from Lawfawn Stitched rectangle frames to cut out the background and glued the pieces onto holographic cardstock and embellished with a sentiment from concord9th.

Qui invece ho abbellito lo sfondo con il sentiment Best wishes line border della Lawnfawn e le margherite di Spellbinders Fresh picked daisies.

Here, however, I embellished the background with Lawnfawn's Best wishes line border sentiment and Spellbinders Fresh picked daisies.

per quest' ultima card invece ho creato una card per matrimonio usando il timbro di Les ateliers de Karine Romance.

for this last card instead I created a wedding card using the stamp of Les ateliers de Karine Romance

Spero vi siano piaciute, buon weekend

I hope you enjoyed them, have a nice weekend
