"The Christmas Serie 2018"- Day 21": Rustic Winter with Sunny Studio!

Hi there and welcome back to my Christmas serie!! 
Today I'm up on the Sunny Studio blog with an elegant Christmas card featuring the Rustic Winter set.


I love this set of dies so much, these woodland reindeers are so beautiful! 
I love keeping them white and make them pop against a dark/ bright background but you could totally die cut them from kraft/brown cardstock or cut them out of white and color them with different mediums and techniques.

To make my card I first created my cardbase out of white cardstock, I masked the bottom and inked up the sky with Distress inks. I let them dry and I created a snowy sky effect with watercolors.


I die cut all the elements from white cardstock and I glued them down with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive ( to build dimension and give my little scene way more interest!).

Finally I stamped the word "Christmas" from the Alpaca Holiday set with a brown ink and added a little sparkle red heart.

Please enjoy my Cardmaking Adventure on * Instagram*! I'll be posting all my little cards,tags and i also can't wait to see all the projects shared in the community! :)

See you soon with another cute project! :)
Have an amazing day!

"The Christmas Serie 2018"- Day 19": It's sweater weather time, with Sunny Studio!

Hi there and happy monday! 
Today i'm up on the Sunny Studio blog with a festive card feat the Sweater Vest Dies set.





This set is so cute and it creates the cutest little sweater shaped cards ever!!
I decided to pair it with the Foxy Christmas set today, to have a foxy festive lovely sweater.
First of all I created my sweater card by die cutting all the elements from the Holiday Cheer paper pad, white cardstock and some red glittered cardstock; I assembled the card by gluing all the elements with liquid glue.



I stamped all the images, colored them with copics and die cut everything with their coordinated dies. I also created a little banner to stamp my sentiment on and I glued everything down with foam adhesive.
Finally I added some white details on to the little foxes and also on the patterned paper to add interest and dimension.
I love so much this fun and festive card, I planned to give this to my mom!

"The Christmas Serie 2018"- Day 18": 'Tis the Season with Hello Bluebird!


Hello there and happy monday! 

Today I'm up on the Hello Bluebird blog with a fun card feat the new Frosty Littles set! 



These winter cuties are adorable and they make me dream about a snowy Christmas!!
First of all I die cut a stitched rectangle and created a coordinated card base all out of white cardstock.


I stamped the large festive sentiment from the Tis the season set on the center and then I created my snowman pattern all around it.
I let my black copic ink dry completely and I had fun coloring all these winter cuties.
I also added a light blue border to all the images to add interest and dimension to my simple design.


Finally I added some details with a white gel pen and a bunch of sparkling clear sequins. 
I'm so happy about how this turned out and It's also a kind of one layer card so perfect to mail for the Holidays! 
Hope you like my festive card and thank you so much for stopping by today!

"The Christmas Serie 2018"- Day 16": a Skating Party Clock with Hello Bluebird!

Hello there and welcome back to my festive serie! 
Today I'm so excited to show my projects: I just found the most clean and simple clock at Ikea and decorated with some cuties from the Skating Party lates released set by Hello Bluebird! 


Isn't it cute?!
This clock comes all in white so first of all I painted all the number in dark blue and signed them with a little rectangle of kraft cardstock.


Then I created my center piece and decorated with all these cuties. The little penguin is my fave, it seems like he's doing figure skating! 
Btw fun fact about me.. I love skating and as I child I did a little bit of figure skating! 

Back to my project, I finished it by adding some details with a white gel pen and I put it all together again with its clear plastic topper ( just took photos without it cause it was easier!).

Hope you like my festive piece of home decor (this would be a perfect handmade gift for Xmas!) and thank you so much for stopping by today!
