alex syberia designs you are loved release blog hop & giveaway

I am so thrilled to be joining Alex Syberia Designs today to celebrate their latest release! It's so fitting that this collection is all about self-care because cardmaking brings me so much joy and is my favorite form of self-care! (BTW, if you're hopping with us then you should be arriving from Brenda's amazing blog.)

Now before I share some of the cards I made, let's talk about something else fun...prizes!

Alex Syberia Designs is giving away a £85 ($100) gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a £15 ($18) gift card to 5 winners. Open internationally. All 6 winners will be drawn from the entrants that have played along with this blog hop by midnight BST October 22nd, 2023. Winners will be announced on the Alex Syberia Designs blog Giveaway Winners page on October 23rd, 2023.

Ok now let's talk cards!

You might know that I adore word & phrase dies! I love the way they can complete a card, create patterns and make awesome shaker windows! And there are some gorgeous word & phrase dies in the latest ASD collection!

Contemporary Hello is a perfect basic! Everyone needs this die!!! For this card I ink blended a panel with Distress Oxide inks (Kitsch Flamingo, Saltwater Taffy & Abandoned Coral) and then die cut Hello 5 times. I adhered the hellos on a white card and finished with a cute little sentiment strip from the Expressing Gratitude Sentiments.

Another one of my favorite dies from the new ASD release is You Are Loved. Such a sweet phrase for a handmade card! 

And it makes a fab shaker window!!! Behind the shaker window I did a little ink blending (with Saltwater Taffy & Abandoned Coral) and topped it with glitter paste. 

Then around the shaker window I stamped a few abstract flowers from the Watercolour Flowers set and added a sentiment with the Expressing Gratitude Sentiments again (love this set).

I have so many more cards to share with this wonderful release but there are so many more fun stops on this hop so you need to get going! Your next stop is Emelie's blog and I know she is going to WOW us!

And here is the whole hop list just in case...

Thanks so much for hopping with us! Hugs!!!
