Alex Syberia Designs August Release - Happy Cuties and Peony Corners - Giveaway

2026-08-07

Hello crafty friend! Welcome to the Happy Cuties and Peony Corners August Release Blog Hop by Alex Syberia Designs ! Leave a comment on the blogs posts on the hop for a chance to win! Beside the lovely inspirations we have a pretty nice giveaway too! You can find the details about it in this post!

THIS CARD FEATURES

Better craft photos are easier than you think. Start with 5 simple tips you can try today.
🎁 Get my free photo ebook here!

STAMPING AND STENCILING

I started this card with the beautiful Peony Corners Stamp Set. I picked the corner image and stamped it twice with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink using my MISTI stamping platform. Once the images were stamped, I heat set them with my heat gun before moving on to the coloring.

For the coloring I used the coordinating Peony Corners Stencil Set. I started with the flower centers using Squeezed Lemonade and added a little Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink here and there. Then I blended Kitsch Flamingo around the petals, going slightly over the yellow areas too. This little overlap created that pretty peachy color which I really love.

For the second layer, I turned the stencil and added Picked Raspberry to the larger flowers and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink to the smaller ones.

Next I moved on to the leaves and flower centers with the other stencil. For these areas I used Black Soot, Hickory Smoke and Old Paper Distress Oxide Inks, then finished the flower centers with Black Soot as well.

STAMPING AND DIE CUTTING

Once all the ink blending was finished, I placed the cardstock back into my MISTI. I had kept the stamp in exactly the same position, so I could stamp the images once again with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. This brought back the crisp outlines beautifully after all the ink blending.

After heat setting the ink, I used the coordinating Peony Corners Die Set and ran both images through my Platinum SIX Die Cutting Machine.

HOT FOILED SENTIMENT

For the sentiment I used the Essential Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set. I really love this set because with just one foiling and one die-cutting step, you can create a whole bunch of beautiful sentiments at once. Such a time saver!

I used the satin gold foil from the Satin Metallics Variety Pack, then die cut all the sentiments so I could choose the one that worked best with my card.

PUTTING THE CARD TOGETHER

For the card base, I paired a warm yellowish olive cardstock with a brighter pink cardstock. I really love how these colors work with the peachy pink flowers. They already give me a tiny bit of an autumn feeling, and you know how much I love that season!

I adhered the Peony Corners with 3D foam squares to give the card some dimension. Then I added the hot foiled sentiment on top, raising it a little higher so it would stand out nicely between the flowers.

Finally, I added a few clear sequins for a little extra sparkle, and the card was finished. I absolutely love how these colors turned out together! And you will see this beautiful Peony Corners set from me again very soon, because I also have a YouTube video tutorial coming with it. So keep an eye on my Instagram for the sneak peek! 👀✨

November Small die of the month | Spellbinders

2019-11-01

Hi crafty friends, today I am going to show you my newest project with the absolutely amazing November Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders. I think this is the most amazing snowflake kit, so if you like it don't hesitate, hurry, before it's out of stock! Its absolutely worth the price. You can find the used supplies below the post.

I started the cardmaking with Die-cutting. I made lots Die-cuts with those snowflakes from copper glitter cardstock, and removed the access with Tool'n One, it's my go to die-cutting thing and I just love it!

Next I created a light blue, dry embossed background with the Love Stripes Embossing folder, and adhered on it the sparkling snowflake die-cuts in various sizes. In the center I adhered iridescent sequins and my card was almost done, I just needed the sentiment so I hot foiled the Merry Christmas sentiment with Blush Foil through the Glimmer Hot foil system.

In the end I put the foiled sentiment with 3D adhesive on the place and it was done.

Hello crafty friends, I hope your week is going well! Today I am going to show you my newest project with the October Glimmer of the Month kit from Spellbinders. You can find the used supplies below the post.

First, I created my 5.5 x 4.25" cardbase and created a stripy background with the Love Stripes Embossing folder. Next I made a blue watercolor wash with Bright and Neutral Jane Davenport watercolor palette on a watercolor paper then I splattered on it with dark blue and white watercolor, after that I let it dry.

Spellbinders | Sugar Skull

2019-04-15

Hello crafty friends, I am back with another hot foiled card! Today I played with a Sugar Skull detailed Die, which is not a hot plate, but I think it was worth a try with hot foiling. As always you can find the used supplies at the end of this post.

First, I made the card base from Neenah Solar White Cardstock. It's size is 5.5 x 4.25 inches. Next I created a pink watercolor background with splatters in darker and lighter colors.

When it was dry I picked the Sugar Skull Die and made the Hot-foiling process. When the face was done, I added a few branches around and foiled them too. For the foiling I used the Polished Brass roll of foil. Love this color so much!

When it was done I made tiny floral Die-cuts with the same Die-set and in various colors. With my color palette I wanted to create a Muertos feeling and I really love the result, I hope you too.

In the end I styled my card, added a white heat embossed sentiment and my card was ready.

Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you like my creations let's be friends on Instagram. :)
