Looking for ideas?

Caly Person is sharing a brand NEW idea featuring Alex Syberia Designs AND keep scrolling for some additional previous posted ideas! Take it away, Caly!

Our featured brand today is Alex Syberia Designs and I’m using the Gorgeous Peonies bundle.

I hot foiled these images with Pewter hot foil and ink-blended then with the coordinating Gorgeous Peonies Stencils.

If you want to see how this card comes together, watch the full VIDEO below!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

I added texture in the background by adding a layer of the Floral Lattice Cover Die.

I framed the images with a Nested Domed Arch Frame, die-cut from Matte Champagne Cardstock. After laying out the images inside the frame, I used Glad Press ‘n Seal to pick up the images to die-cut it with a Nested Domed Arch Die that fits perfectly inside the frame. Before removing the images from the Glad Press ‘n Seal, I added 3D Foam Squares to the back and picked them all up together to adhere onto the card.

I finished by adding an embossed sentiment using the Expressing Gratitude stamp set.

I have more inspiration to share that I’ve made in the past to highlight Alex Syberia Designs. You can click on the images below to get re-directed to my blog where you can find more information.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the inspiration! Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly

Happy November fellow Tim Holtz fans! Another month, a new deal! (Please note this code cannot be combined with Alex Syberia Designs spotlight sale code)

Happy Halloween, friends! We wish you all the treats today! We wanted to share this adorable reprise of a prior blog post by our friend Cheiron Brandon to inspire you to make some festive cards with your Halloween supplies!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Cheiron Brandon here and I am thrilled to be back with another project this month using Tim Holtz products. Today I have a fun trio of Halloween cards for you that are perfect to send to friends or give with Halloween treats. I combined the Tim Holtz Sizzix Retro Halloween and Halloween Bold Text dies with some of my favorite whimsical Stampers Anonymous background stamps to make these monochromatic cards. 

To create these cards, I painted Distress Watercolor Cardstock papers using Distress Paints in Black Soot, Carved Pumpkin and Twisted Citron. Once the papers were dry, I cut my Retro Halloween Thinlits from Distress Watercolor Cardstock (for the white) and the painted papers. You could also use ink, but I love the matte look of the paints on projects, especially paired with the DIstress Oxide backgrounds I used. I cut the Halloween Bold Text words from rectangles of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and backed them with pieces of the painted papers. 

To make the card panels I cut Distress Watercolor cardstock (3 3/4 x 5) and stamped each panel with a background stamp in Distress Oxide inks that were the same colors as the painted papers. Once the ink was dry, I added the Bold Text sentiment to the card using foam tape, then the Retro Halloween image (also with foam tape) onto the background, overlapping them ever so slightly. Finally, I mounted the panels to an A2 card using foam tape. I love the look of these one-color cards and hope you do too!
