Thank you - a set of cards feat. Mama Elephant!

Ciao a tutti e bentornati sul mio blog! 
Oggi un nuovo post in collaborazione con Piccole Perle: realizziamo insieme un set di card per dire .. grazie! 



Eccole qui..



Parola d'ordine: colori!! Vediamo sempre più progetti, abiti, creazioni inspirate all'arcobaleno e proprio questa è stata la mia ispirazione. Ho ricercato un design semplice che lasciasse spazio al colore ed alla mia immagine principale.
Ecco i dettagli di ogni card..


Questo gattino è un bellissimo timbro di Mama Elephant, dal set "Three Amigos", l'ho stampato più volte con l'inchiostro Tuxedo Black Ink su un cartoncino bianco e l'ho colorato con i mie copic.
Ho stampato anche tante piccole lettere dal set "Gleeful Garden" di Lawn Fawn e le ho incollate sui gattini.. sembra proprio tengano in mano tante "happy mails"!!
Ho ritagliato anche i gattini e poi ho realizzato gli sfondi colorati.
In questo caso ho utilizzato l'inchiostro distress nel colore "Salty Ocean".


La scritta è inclusa nel set "Bear Hugs" di Mama Elephant. è molto semplice, lineare ed in questo caso l'ho evidenziata lasciandole uno sfondo bianco. Per ottenerlo ho utilizzato la tecnica del "masking": ho incollato una striscia di nastro carta soft sulla base della mia card così da creare uno stencil! :)
In questo caso per lo sfondo verde ho utilizzato la sfumatura distress Shabby Shutters.


Qui ho realizzato lo sfondo abbinando 2 colori: Picked Raspberry e Abandoned Coral.
I gattini li ho poi incollati alla base della card con del nastro biadesivo spessorato.


Ed ecco l'ultima card! Per questa ho utilizzato gli inchiostri Spiced Marmelade e  Squeezed Lemonade.
Come sempre nel negozio di Piccole Perle trovate tutto il materiale che ho utilizzato e tanto altro ancora!
Spero questo tutorial vi sia piaciuto e grazie di essere passati sul mio blog! :)

Hi there! 
Today i have a cute birthday card feat. Lawn Fawn to show you!
Here's what i created...



How cute is this otter?! Otters are my fave talking about little critters and i loooove this stamp by Lawn fawn!! :)

It's a super cute mini stamp set and it's a little gift from one of my crafty friend.. so one more reason to love it! :)

First of all.. yeah it's not a tipical card! I used that banner shape to cut it out and then i layered another piece behind like if i was doing a circular card. I stamped the little otter and the present and i colored them with copics, then i fussy cut them.
I sponged some Tumbled Glass distress ink to create my background and then i made the fringe out of some vellum ( don't you know i'm in love with fringe?! ahah!! ). I also cut a thin stripes of silver cardstock..and it's not just in silver color, it has lots of fine glitters in that make it shines!! I glued down all my pieces and then i added lots of sparkle! I put some wink of stella on the present and all along the rectangles edges plus i added some sequins by PPP to give extra shine!
Finally i i finished my card with that little silver ribbon :)
Here's a detail of the card... and YAY! i captured all the shines! :)

The pun and sweet sentiment makes me giggle everytime! :)
Oh i also added some details with a white jel pen.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge # 10! A little baby party set feat. ME!

Hi again! This is my secon post of the day.. To see my Butterfly Reflections Ink DT post, click * here * ! :)


________________________________________________________________________


Hi there and welcome back!!
Anothere Tic Tac Toe Challenge begins today! YAY!! 





As always you can choose 3 elements  (in a row) and create any project you want!!
Here's my inspiration for you...



For today i chose a diagonal line: Bow, Ombre and Baby and i created this little baby party set. 
I love making little set, so i made a cupcake topper a cupcake wrapper and a little card . I used those cuties by Mama Elephant and i love how all turned out! 
The colors are always pink and yellow, but i kept them softer on the card, that's why they don't relly pop on the picutre!
Here are some other pics for you...


How cute is that? I love muffins or cupcakes,.. i think that's the reason i'm obsessed with cupcake toppers and wrappers! ahah!!
 Here in Italy they are not so popular..  i mean obviously there are some shops that sell muffins and you can find them at the market.. but our party are organized differently. There are no muffins or biscuits that coordinate the party theme.. i think that maybe we do not have rather a theme! Yeah.. i'm sad about that but what i'm realizing  is that lot's and lots of family here do not chose a theme and build the party, they just make some food and invite some friends.. and that's all!
We might save time.. (decorations take lots of time!! ) but i think sometimes we just miss a super fun step! So today i just wanted to make a little little party set for a friend :)
Here's another deatil of my card...



This stamp set is so pretty that makes everything elegant and sweet!! :)

Ombre, glitter and Christmas.. how to make me happy!

Update: This card received the "Honorable Mention" title at Merry Monday! I'm so happy! thanks!! :)



Hi there and welcome back! :)
Today i made another Christmas card! ahah! It seems like i never stop making winter themed cards ..ahaha! But i love so much my seasonal stamps that i can't help myself.. so.. here is it! 




The challege theme at Merry Monday this week is ombre and glitters .. and i finally realized how difficult is to make you see "Wink of Sstella glitters and sparkles" through a picture. The ice block and the sentiments are full of glitters and they are amazing in real life! You have to trust me!! :)
And how cute is that walrus by Avery Elle?! He makes me giggle and i even now why.. it's just super cute! ahah! 
This card is also a special card for me because.. drum roll.. i embossed the sentiment! ahah! Yeah.. i didn't emboss so often, but i thought it would be perfect to add some white to bright the ocean portion .. and i can also enter the new Seven Hills Craft Monthly Challenge that's all about embossing! :)
