Cute Christmas ornaments feat. Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp!

Update: These festive paper ornaments received the "Honorable Gnome" title!! I'm so so happy! thanks!! :)

Hi friends!!
Today i'm super happy and excited to show you these Christmas ornaments i made with the exclusive stamp set by Lf & SSS: " Happy Howlidays"!!
Here they are...

First of all i have to tell.. How difficult are these ornament for taking photos?! I was in trouble sooo much and plus it is not a super sunny day here so.. please be patient!! I did my best! :)

So.. how cute are those little dogs?! I think i'm going to tell you how much i looove them for a long time! ahah!! 

They are super super cute and i have never had a "dog" stamp before so.. i'm pretty excited! 

I also have a dog and it's not actually a dachshund..i think that you can image her size picking like 7 dachshunds all together, ahah! , but yeah they are all dogs!! ihih! 

So i made these ornamnets featuring these adorable little dogs ( pretending they are my lovely dog!ihih! ) to decorate my home and the Christmas tree!

And i also thought that would be beautiful adding one of this on top of a presents like a gift tag! So precious!!!

For the first one i use 2 dogs and the sentiment is "Dachshund through the snow".. doesn't make you giggle?! ahah!!

Here's my second one..

This dog has a little bowl with a gingerbread biscuit!! OMG i cant't even talk about it.. i looove it!! ahah!! I also added a little Santa hat and a pine to set the scene. The sentiment says: "Santa Paws is coming to town!" I'm speachless.. maybe this sentiment is my fave.. it's just tooo funny!!! 

And for the last one...

My favourite custum!!! The deer one!! Ahah!! There's also a little red nose you can add to the dogs making them little Rudholp deers! And the bone wrapped as a present?!? Do we have to talk about it?! It's just tooooo adoorable!!! :) The sentiment is : Happy Howlidays from the dog!

Well ...i think this is my fave stamp set of all times and i'm so super happy when some of my fave brands collaborate together.. some super cute things always come out!!! ihih!! :)

Oh and let me say that that fake snow by Dovecraft is fantastic!! :)

And I also added lots of perfect pearls to my blue backgrounds ( i created them sponging some Chipped Sapphire distress inks on some white cardstock ), i hope you can see it through the pictures! In real life it's an amazing effect!!

"Biscottini in fattoria!" feat. Lawn Fawn :)

Ciao a tutti e bentornati sul mio blog!
Oggi nuovo post in collaborazione con  Piccole Perle..!

Ecco un progetto speciale tanti biscotti e delle confezioni super simpatiche per rallegrare la merenda dei vostri bimbi! 

Amo fare biscottini, torte e dolcetti.. sperimentare nuove ricette e impacchettare tutto in una confezione speciale, che sia elegante oppure divertente come queste qui adatte ai più piccini!

Ho utilizzato dei timbri per biscotti ( ahahah!!!) con gli animali ed ho quindi pensato di afre confezioni a tema fattoria...

Ecco qualche dettaglio...

Il set della fattoria " Critters on the farm" di Lawn Fawn è così carino, pieno di animali e accessori per creare le vostre ambientazioni in campagna! Qui ho ritagliato anche la piccola finestrella nel capanno per far uscire il pulcino, nella prossima..

dalla porta escono i topini! E adoro questo maialino, con questa combo di colori è il mio preferito, tutto a macchie! :)

Ecco le altre confezioni che ho realizzato...

 Qui pulcini e topini ..!

Il fondo l'ho creato con i distress ink, utilizzando i colori Tumbled Glass e Shabby Shutters, i fili d'erba invece sono inclusi nel set "Chirpy Chirp Chirp". Io li ho stampati utilizzando un inchiostro verde chiaro.. per la maggior parte sono coperti da tutti gli altri elementi ma aiutano comunque ad ambientare la scena! :)

Spero tanto questo progetto speciale vi sia piaciuto e grazie di essere passati!

Mi raccomando seguitemi su Instagram e lasciatemi tanti cuoricini!

A super cute Halloween spinner card feat. Lawn Fawn + a photo tutorial!! :)

Ciao a tutti e bentornati sul mio blog! :)
Oggi nuovo post in collaborazione con  Piccole Perle..!

Oggi ho creato una card super simpatica a tema Halloween.. ma nnt paura! ahah! Tema love, colori pastello e due fantasmini innamorati..eccola qui! 

La adorooooo!! :) Mi piace tantissimissimo ed è anche interattiva quindi super simpatica! 

Si chiama Spinner card ed è quindi una di quelle card in cui i personaggi ruotano su se stessi..

Volete vederla in movimento? Allora cliccate * qui *, seguitemi su Instagram e lasciatemi tanti cuoricini!! :)

Volete ricrearla?! Beh mi sono divertita così tanto a farla che ho fotografato i passaggi ed ecco qui un piccolo foto tutorial per voi...

Come realizzare una spinner card in 9 passaggi.. pronti via!!

Per prima cosa formate la vostra card e ritagliate al centro di una delle 2 ante un rettangolo( io ho utilizzato come misura della card quella abbinata al rettangolo stitched più grande tra quelli inclusi nel set Stitched Rectangle Stackables di Lawn Fawn ed ho creato la cornice utilizzando il rettangolo leggermente più piccolo in scala).

Tagliate inoltre un rettangolo grande a coprire un anta della vostra card e ritagliateci dentro un rettangolo in modo da creare una cornice che potrà essere incollata perfettamente a quella creata sull'anta della card. Qui l'ho decorata stampandoci le piccole immagini incluse nel set Booyah di Lawn Fawn, come sempre ho utilizzato l'inchiostro Memento tuxedo black e le ho colorate con i mie copic.

Utilizzate il negativo della cornice come sfondo per la card. Io qui l'ho colorato con i distress ink nei colori Chipped Sapphire e Salty Ocean; ho lasciato asciugare bene ed ho stampato il mio sentiment.

Per realizzare una spinner avete bisogno di forme o soggetti simmetrici e questi fantasmini sono perfetti! Stampateli e colorateli ( ricordate di stampare la faccina solo da un lato per un effetto più realistico..!)

Aiutandovi con la cornice dell'anta sinistra del biglietto incollate lo sfondo sull'anta destra e fissate bene.

Posizionate provvisoriamente i fantasmini sulla card così da avere una linea guida necessaria per posizionare il biadesivo. Cercate di centrarlo rispetto ad ogni immagine.

Tirate 3 fili ( io qui ho utilizzato un filo bianco da cucito per rendere il tutto ben visibile in foto) preferibilmente trasparenti o dello stesso colore dello sfondo, posizionandoli sui pezzettini di biadesivo ed assicurandoli per bene.

Formate dei panini con le vostre immagini ( una andrà sotto il filo - la sagoma senza faccina - e l'altra andrà sopra " intrappolando il filo all'interno).

Tagliate le codine di filo in eccesso ed incollate la cornice decorata assicurandola bene. Per rendere meno visibili il filo bianco (che avevo utilizzato a scopo tutorial!) ho protetto lo sfondo e tutte le mie immagini e l'ho tamponato con i distress utilizzati per creare lo sfondo blu.

Spero questo tutorial vi sia piaciuto e grazie di essere passati! :)

Mi raccomando seguitemi su Instagram e lasciatemi tanti cuoricini!! :)
