Halloween pumpking cards with Mama Elephant!

Hi there and happy tuesday! 

Today I'm so excited to share these cute Hlloween cards I made with Mama Elephant..

Awww look at these pumpkins, arent' they the cutest ever?!

So I had my eyes onto the Favor Bag Accessory - Pumpkin by Mama Elephant for a very very long time and I finally got it some time ago and it makes me so happy!

I love this little pumpkin and all the little face/ expression combos you can play with.

Here I ink blended all my pumpkins to give them extra dimension and interest and of course I had to give them rosy cheecks - eheh!

For my background I created an ink blended purple sky, then added lots of little gold, white and dark purple splatters and I die cut the Winter Forest Cover from white cardstock.

For the sentiment I chose a digital image from Echo Park Paper designs.

Hope you like these too cute to spook cards as much as I do and thanks a lot for stopping by today!

"Cozy Christmas Wishes" cards with Pinkfresh Studio!

Happy weekend!

I'm so happy to share a couple of cards made with the beautiful "Cozy Christmas Wishes" set by Pinkfresh Studio today.. 

Aww.. I'm so totally in love with these! 

First of all I created my cardbases out of white cardstock, then die cut matching stitched panels out of kraft cardstock and embellished them with some Nuvo Snow Storm mousse onto a falling snow stencil.

While they were drying I die cut 2 dotted rectangles out of white cardstock, stamped my beautiful Christmas illustration on each of them and colored them all with copics. 

I glued my kraft panels onto the fronts of my cardbases and mounted my decorated panels on top with foam adhesive.

Finally I added lots of details with a white gel pen to all the Xmas foliage and some Glossy Accents on each of the little red berries.

I'd love to enter the Pinkfres Studio December Monthly Challenge with these cards..

I hope you enjoy and like these as much as I do and thanks a lot for stopping by today!

Spellbinders Sparkling Christmas 2020 Release!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm showcasing some of the products from the new Spellbinders Sparkling Christmas July 2020 release!

If you already enjoy my crafting adventures I'm so exicted for you to see what I created with this collection and if I'm new to you.. Hello!

My name is Francesca but I'm pretty much Franci all the time, I'm from Milan, Italy and I'm passionate about making cute things with stamps, dies and colors!

I'm all in for cute Festive stuff and Christmas is my favorite so I'm over the moon for these new Spellbinders goodies..!

Aww I love these cards so much! Here I was inspired by my favorite pastel colors to create moder Xmas designs. 

For my HOHOHO card I first created my background with a stripe of a dark blue cardstock and another one cut out of silver glitter paper. Then I die cut my sentiment and colored it with copics. 

I die cut some more elements out of silver glitter paper and white cardstock and glued everything together.

For my Christmas tree card I first created my background by dry embossing a dotted stencil onto a piece of dark blue cardstock, then I die cut all the elements, colored them with copics and glued them down with some foam adhesive. I added my sentiment ( die cut out of silver glittered paper) and some other ebellishments like white Nuvo Drops to finish my card up and it's ready to wish a dear friend a beautiful Christmas.

If you're looking for a more traditional Christmas here's a card + tag combo..

For the card I chose to create a long one to fit my setiment perfectly. I first cut out some long stripes out of white, kraft and dark cardstock and added some dry embossed details on to the dark blue one with my scoring board.

I layered and glued everything together with liquid glue and foam adhesive, die cut the sentiment and added some dot details on to all the kraft elements. 

Replacing the "o" with a little custom Xmas wreath adds so much to this design! Creating it was super simple with all the little holly and pine branches little dies included in the set: I die cut them all out of white cardstock, colored them with copics, added some white details and then arranged and glued them together with liquid glue.

The coordinated tag is the perfect mini add on to pop on a present and this die design is simply amazing, so detailed! 

Here I die cut the main tag body out of dark blue cardstock and added the sentiment i die cut out of kraft cardstock with some foam tape. I added some dots with a white gel pen and also some other little detail, plus silver twine at the top.

"Warm Wishes" card with Hello Bluebird!

Hello there and happy tuesday! 

Today's project is a cute clean&simple festive Hello Bluebird card..

Awww look at this cutie making an angel in the snow! How adorable?! 

First of all I created my cardbase out of white cardstock, then I inked it up lightly with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink on top of my Echo Park snowflakes stencil.

I removed the stencil and inked some more on top to fade the pattern out just a little bit.

I created my own festive pattern paper with red cardsock and the Buffalo Check Background stamp set by Hello Bluebird and I die cut it with the Warm Wishes words die set. I also cut out some snowflakes using the Frosty Flakes Die, out of white cardstock.

Then I stamped, colored and die cut the reindeer from the First Snow set and glued all my scene together with foam tape and liquid glue.

Finally I added some details with a white gel pen, some sparkle with my Wink of Stella Clear Brush and little embellishment dots of the White Nuvo Drops by Tonic.
