The Floral Reflection Collection by Spellbinders is here!

Hi there!

Today I'm so happy to join Spellbinders for the launch of their new Floral Reflection Collection! 

Well.. I fell in love with these flowers the moment I saw them! 

I always feel a little bit intimidated by floral and elegant designs ( I'm usually all about cute critters and pun sentiments!) but these are so dainty and beautifully designed I had so much fun creating with them!

I went for light a blue palette here with touches of green and white but I can't wait to try them out in red and gold for the Holidays! 

For the sentiments: I just typed them out on my computer and printed them! I got my very first printer some months ago and I really like adding printable elements to my projects these days! 

Spellbinders suplies: 

Sealed Bouquet Etched Dies S4 - 1256

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.

These are all the Spellbinders products I used for my projects:

Love themed cards with Spellbinders!

Hello there and Happy New Year!

Today I'm happy to share some Valentine's Day cards I made with the new Stamp of the month January kit by Spellbinders + Fun Stampers Journey!

It's called "Key to my Heart"and it's a red rubber stamp set that features some of the iconic love themed images of all times: keys, wings and padlocks. It also has a coordinated die set you can purchase separately.

I created some super simple card designs to make the images pop and I also used some sparkle watercolors to add even more interest to these detailed and elegant images.

When I saw the wings and the keys I immediately thought about Harry Potter so I was inspired ny that for my first card and for my second one.. I was inspired by an italian legend of love.

It has been said that if a couple who's deeply in love go to Ponte Vecchio in Florence, put a lock on the bridge and throw the key in the river, their love would last forever. 

Believe it or not, that's romantic, isn't it?! 

Hope you like my love themed cards and thank u so much for stopping by today!
