"Happy new year 2017!" a cute card feat. Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp!

Update: This Christmas card received the "Top Mow-It-All" title!! I'm so so happy! thanks!! :)

Hi there!
Today i created another festive card to wish all of you a beautiful and happy new year! 
Here's what i created..

Few days still and then we'll have to say good bye to 2016.. and welcome the new year 2017! 
So i thought i could make a little card to celebrate and i created this cute festive scene with these super lovely critters by Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp.
I combined lots of stamp sets and i'm so happy about how well and perfectly they go together! 
The mice are from the "Merry Christmouse" exclusive stamp set by LF&SSS 2016, then i stamped some accessories from the "Happy Howlidays" stamp set ( another LF&SSS exclusive 2017), the dachshunds are from the "Happy Howloween" stamp set, the pine branches from the "Frosty Fairy Friends" set and the number are from the "Queen's 123s" stamp set. 
Here are some details.. and if you wanna know how to re-create this pretty card.. keep reading! ihih!

First of all i die cut the largest stitched rectangle by LF twice and i created a little hill with the stitched hillside borders die. I colored the other rectangle with distress inks to create my background. I sponged some Peacock Feathers, Broken China and Chipped Sapphre inks, blending them together starting from the bottom to the top. 
Then i stamped all my images in Memento tuxedo black ink, i colored them with copics and die cut them with their coordinated dies. For the pine branches i used the Jalapeno ink by Lawn Fawn, it's the perfect touch of green i needed!

I started to combine all my elements together and i drew some details on all my images with a white gel pen.. i also created a polka dot pattern on my sock! Love those little presents hangin off .. a little bone for the dogs and some cheese for the mice.. sooo super cute and fun! ihih!
I also added lots of Wink of Stella here and there and on to my 2017 numbers to give them extra shine and interest! 

Finally i stamped my sentiment on my hill in black ink, combining the "happy" and the "new year" from the "Toboggan Together" stamp set.. i loove these 2 fonts together! 
I glued all my pieces with regular glue and the card is ready! :)
Ops i forgot to say that i also drew some snoflakes on my inked background to make my scene snowy and super wintry! 
Challenges: 

I looved this challenge soo much! So sorry this will be the last one..! 

 Thank u so much ladies for all the inspiration and all the amazing projects you shared! 

          

Hope you like my card and thank u so much for stopping by today! :)

"Festive Holiday Wishes" a cute card feat. LF and ME!

Hi there and welcome back to my blog!
Hope you all had a beautiful Christmas!
This year we bougth a toaster for my uncle and aunt as Christmas gift so.. i had to create a special card..! ihih! Here's it..

Ciao a tutti e bentornati sul mio blog!
Spero che il vostro Natale sia stato bellissimissimo!
Questo Natale abbiamo regalato un tostapane ai miei zii e quindi.. ecco il biglietto allegato! ihih!

How cute is that?! ahah! I wanted my card to look like a table.. that's why i created that red gingham at the bottom. So we had plenty of space to write our own sentiment on the tablecloth!! ihih! My grandparents loved this idea! The toaster , the two happy slices of bread and the gingham background are by Lawn Fawn; instead the sentiment and all the Christmas decorations at the top are by Mama Elephant.. i love how they match perfectly together! 

E' troppo carino vero?! Adoro questo tostapane di Lawn Fawn! Volevo ricreare una tavola quindi con il gingham backdrops sempre di LF ho realizzato la tovaglia ( ho lasciato tanto spazio per gli auguri e le firme) , mentre le palline e gli auguri stampati sono di Mama Elephant.

"May your holidays be.. " a pretty card feat. Lawn Fawn + Winter Giveaway!

Happy first day of winter everyone! :)

I'm at home with a flu and i really hope i'll get better for Christmas.. but a flu means.. more free time for crafting! ihih!! 

So here's what i created...

I looove my new "Sprinkled with joy" stamp set by Lawn Fawn. It's adorable and perfect for every occasion.. I'd love to bake some Christmas sweet and create some pretty packaging or gift tags with the oven and all the cookies .. the possibilities are endless! 

Here i combined the stamp set with the "Frosty fairy friends" set also by Lawn Fawn..

I loove those little fairies.. they are making cookies and are wishing our holidays to be sprinkled with joy! Soooo cute!! :)

Here's a detail..

I think it's not so visible here in the photo, but i stamped lots of little snowflakes on to my background with white pigment ink and they make my scene so soft and fluffy in real life!

I also added lots of Wink of Stella to my fairies and to all the sprinkles.. and some glossy accents on the oven buttons .. i had so much fun adding all these details! :)

And of course if you open the oven.. there's a sentiment hidden in! And lots of cookies!! ahah! So my card says: "May your holidays be .. sprinkled with joy! 

As usual i stamped all my images with Memento black ink, i colored them with my copics and die cut them with their coordinate dies.

I also used some pattern paper to create the floor and let me say that those new plaids by Lawn Fawn are soo amazing!! 

* WINTER GIVEAWAY *

"A pretty Christmas Tree ornament" feat. Lawn Fawn!

Update: This cute "Christmas tree ornament" received the "Honorable Gnome" title!! I'm so so happy! thanks!! :)

Ciao a tutti e bentornati sul mio blog! 

Oggi nuovo post in collaborazione con  Piccole Perle..!

E' tempo di fare l'albero di Natale..! Così per oggi ho creato un nuovo shaker paper ornament con la die della goodie bag di Lawn Fawn.

Eccolo qui ..  pronto da appendere al mio albero! ihih! 

Dopo aver visto i bellissimi progetti di Sandy e Nancy dovevo creare qlc di nuovo e fantastico con la mia borsina anche io! eheh!!

Ho pensato ad un piccolo ornamento da mettere sul mio albero di Natale.. è bello aggiungere qlc ogni anno se è un divertente DIY! :)

Per lo sfondo della mia borsina ho utilizzato i set "Baaah Humbug" e "Cheery Christmas". La renna è inclusa nel set "Toboggan together" e con i circle stackables, gli scallop coordinati e dell'acetato ho costruito la finestrella. 

Con le pop up dies e le stitched hills dies ho creato l'interno, ho aggiunto la neve finta, un bel fiocco ed ecco qui la mia borsina shaker natalizia!!

Spero tanto il mio progetto di oggi vi sia piaciuto ed a presto con tante nuovi progetti dedicati alle feste! :)

Mi raccomando seguitemi su *Instagram* e lasciatemi tanti cuoricini!!

Hi everyone!! 
Today I was inspired by the amazing and soo super talented Sandy and Nancy to create something wonderful and special with my goodie bag die by Lawn Fawn ...

So u can see here above my little Christmas Tree ornament..!

I was sooo amazed by Nancy's gift bags and then Sandy colored an amazing fairy gift bag and i thought: Hey.. i wanna rock my goodie bag die too! ahah!

So i did it! eheh! I created a little shaker bag to hang on my Christmas tree and i'm so happy about how it turned out! So pretty and festive!! :)

First i die cut a goodie bag from white cardstock and i stamped all those little elements to create my own custom patterned paper. Of course you have to stamp the front and the 2 sides, but i also stamped the back, or u can stamp a " to and from" if you wanna give this a a little gift! 

I die cut a circle in the center of the front half of the bag and i also die cut the coordinated scalloped circle in red carstock and in acetate. Then i created a frame with the red scalloped ( i die cut the same cirle i used before in the center) and i adhere it on to the acetate scallop. 

I created a pop up hill for the inside of my bag, i stamped the reindeer and the trees and i gave my background a blue shade with Tumbled Glass distress ink. I assembled all my elements and added some fake snow for the shaker element.

I glued the top of my goodie bag and put a little clothpin with a bow to make it fancy and festive! :)

"A cute set of festive cards" feat. Lawn Fawn!

Ciao a tutti e bentornati sul mio blog! 

Oggi nuovo post in collaborazione con  Piccole Perle..!

Dicembre è arrivato ed io ho spolverato il mio stamp set preferito di semprissimo: Toboggan together di Lawn Fawn! Eheh! 

Ed ecco cosa ho creato..

Lo adoroooo! Le renne, i pinguini, la slitta, i regali. la letterina a Babbo Natale.. è un set super completo per creare delle magiche ambientazioni invernali/natalizie! :)

Ho realizzato 3 cards/biglietti coordinati tra loro e molto semplici da realizzare..!

Ecco la prima..

Questa renna è troppo carina e con l'augurio è perfetta, stradivertente!! Come sempre ho stampato le immagini in memeto e le ho colorate con i miei copics, mentre per gli alberi ho utilizzato l'inchiostro Jalapeno di Lawn Fawn. E' un verde brillante, perfetto per lo stile che ho voluto dare a questo set di cards! Con una penna gel bianca ho inoltre creato questo effetto neve che risalta con lo sfondo blu notte!

Il cappellino e la sciarpa li trovate nel set Baaah Humbug e ciò che mi fa impazzire di gioia è che molti accessori dei vari stamp set di Lawn Fawn sono poi utilizzabili in tante occasioni ed anche con tanti animaletti/personaggi di versi! :)

Ecco la seconda card.. protagonisti i pinguini ed una divertente battaglia a palle di neve! 

Qui si gioca nella neve... c'è qlc di più divertente e bellissimo al mondo? Ebbenesi, a Natale è tutto ciò che si desidera..la neve!! 

Per l'augurio "Merry Christmas" ho utilizzato l'inchiostro Guava di Lawn Fawn, tende più al rosato piuttosto che ad un rosso intenso quindi lo trovo molto delicato insieme al verde Jalapeno.

Per lo sfondo ho utilizzato l'inchiostro distress Chipped Sapphire, è ricco, scuro, mi piace tantissimo per ricreare lo stile cielo invernale con nevicata. Infatti per un effetto ancora più soft invece di disegnare a penna gel dei fiocchi di neve, ho semplicemente sgocciolato un po' d'acqua sullo sfondo facendo reagire l'inchiostro ed asciugandone l'eccesso. Effetto naturale fiocchi di neve: ottenuto! ihih! 

Per la terza card.. c'è un piccolo aiutante di babbo Natale! 

Quella letterina di Natale è troppo carina! Voglio dire un pinguino, una slitta piena di regali ed una mappa per le consegne?! Andiamo... è fantastica! ahah! 

Per realizzare la collina ho utilizzato una delle simple stitched hillside borders di Lawn Fawn, con i dettagli stitched è perfettamente coordinata al pannello principale ottenuto con uno degli stitched rectangle stackables sempre di Lawn Fawn. 

Dopo aver fissato gli elementi provvisoriamente sulle cards ho utilizzato nastro biadesivo spessorato e non per incollarli tutti e dal vivo l'effetto dimensionale è ancor più evidenziato! Tanto Wink of Stella, che sulle cards di Natale non deve mai mancare ed ecco completato questo mini set! 

Uno dei post più lunghi della storia del mio blog! Eheh! 

Spero tanto le mie cards di oggi vi siano piaciute ed a presto con tante nuovi progetti dedicati alle feste! :)

Mi raccomando seguitemi su *Instagram* e lasciatemi tanti cuoricini!!
