Rainbow Christmas Gnomes | Frameless Slimline Shaker Card | Alex Syberia Design


Hello, my friends, and Happy FriYAY!

Today I have another fun Frameless Slimline Shaker Card, this time featuring the cute Digital Christmas Gnomes designed by Alex Syberia done in my favorite palette, Rainbow colors! For those of you that want a visual on how to make these Frameless shaker cards, click HERE for a video I made last year.

CARD DETAILS

As with all digital stamps, I downloaded the image from the Alex Syberia shop and then printed it out onto Neenah Cardstock.

Next, I colored the images using Copic markers. This image actually took me several days to color as I have been doing it for Kathy Racoosins 30 11 Day Coloring Challenge. Once the background was colored I added details to the images using gel pens. I then added white ink splatters to create a snowfall on the entire background panel. 


Now to create the frameless shaker... I used the plastic from a page protector to cut a piece larger than the panel. I usually like about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch border. I then snip off the corners to make it easier to fold the plastic completely flat. 


To the back of the colored panel, I add strips of scor-tape along the outer edges. I then lay the colored background face down onto the plastic sheet. Next, I remove the protective layer from the adhesive strips and fold down three of the plastic tabs, leaving one side open, creating a pocket that I then fill with my shaker bits. Once I am happy with the shaker bit amount I fold and adhere down the last plastic tab.


Now, to add a sentiment to the front of the card. This greeting stamp comes from the Simon Says Stamp GOOD CHEER set, which was stamped onto vellum and heat embossed using Silver Emb. Pwd. I then just fussy cut around the sentiment and glued it onto the front of the shaker panel.


The last thing to do is to attach the panel to a Slimline card base cut to the same size as the card panel to give it the frameless look. I find I get the best results using scor-tape on the panel rather than a wet adhesive. 

These cards are so easy to do, there is no messing with foam tape and the best part is that they are super thin for mailing! I hope I have inspired you tho give them a try. HERE is the link again for a visual tutorial.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

AlexSyberiaDesign May Digi Stamp Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Kokeshi Doll Friendship Cards


AlexSyberiaDesign May Digi Stamp Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Kokeshi Doll Friendship Cards

Hello Friends! 

Welcome to Alex Syberia Design May Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. I will have all those details at the end of this post. I am in love with these Kokeshi dolls from Alex's release and had so much fun creating these two colorful Kokeshi Doll Friendship Cards. 


CARD DETAILS

For my first card, I combined the KOKESHI DOLL FUMIKO and the FULL BLOOM digital stamps. I used Paint 3D to manipulate and layer the designs, there are various programs out there and tutorials on how to use digital stamps so I will not explain that process.

I then printed the images out onto Neenah Solar White 80lbs paper and colored the images in using Copic markers.

Next, I trimmed the panel and added it to a black cardstock piece cut to fit an A2 card base.

I then stamped a sentiment from Studio Katia's BLOOMING BUNCH stamp set and added some BLOSSOM SPARKLE CRYSTALS. To finish this card off I added some white gel pen detailing and then some glossy accents to add more dimension and shine.

This next card was printed and colored the same way as the previous card. This time using the KOKESHI DOL MITSUKI and again the FULL BLOOM digital stamps.

This time I trimmed the panel a little more to create a larger border around the panel.

The stamp I used here comes from the YOU GOT THIS stamp set from Simon Says Stamp that I curved along the body of the KOKESHI DOL MITSUKI digital stamp.

DIY Stamp Shadows on the Silhouette! (Part 2)

Now for part two!

In the first part of this tutorial, I showed you how I created my own stamps on the Silhouette. Click here if you missed it! Now, it's time to show you how to create its shadow. This is the easy part!

I started off by opening up a new window in the Silhouette DSE and copied my image of the stamp I created in part 1. Next, I ungrouped it and deleted the writing, leaving only the outline.

Now it's time to create another offset of the outline. Just like below... I chose 0.1 in offset. Once you've got the offset delete the internal piece of the image.

DIY Stamp Shadows on the Silhouette! (Part 2)

Fill up your page with as many images as you like. I will only need 5. Check you cut line settings, make sure that your images are not overlapping each other. Since I will be cutting these out of a colored card stock there is no need for the registration marks.

DIY Stamp Shadows on the Silhouette! (Part 2)

Save your work. I will call this file Christmas stamp shadows... that way I know which part needs to be printed and which part I can just cut out!

So here is the card I made using this stamp! Pretty, isn't it? I love how it turned out and how the stamp goes so well with it! For the rest of the details on this card refer to my previous post, here.

DIY Stamp Shadows on the Silhouette! (Part 2)

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make your own stamps on the Silhouette! I would love to see your creations if you do end up making any!

Happy crafting and stamp designing :)


DIY Printed Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)


This one is for all of my Silhouette using friends! A few days ago I was looking for a stamp to coordinate with a card I was working on and didn't like what I had. I also didn't feel like going out and buying one... I needed it like NOW! So I had an aha moment... Why not make one digitally? I figured I had all the tools I needed. So here is how I was able to create my perfect stamp... The possibilities are endless, and it's was all at my fingertips!

Here is the card I made, the file comes from CLARA'S CHRISTMAS EVE KIT here. Isn't it pretty??? Look at the stamp! What a perfect match, don't you think?  Wanna see how I made it? Follow my instructions below. Super easy! It just looks lengthy... I probably should have made a video... not a road I want to go down right now... I'd probably crash! LOL! Ok, back to how I did it...

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

The first thing I did was go onto dafont.com. Since I was wanting to create a Christmas stamp, I needed Christmas images.  I then searched for holiday fonts or images known as wingdings. Here is the font I chose. The next thing I did was install it onto my computer, that way when I open up the Silhouette program it would automatically show up in the text box. (I chose to use a font/wingding but your possibilities are endless, use any image you have or find on the web!)

Next, I opened up my Silhouette Designer Studio Edition. Selected the text box, which brought up the text style box on the right-hand side. Scrolled down until I found the font I just installed  (Xmas tfb Christmas)
Because I had no idea of what the images were when each letter was typed I just type the whole alphabet out starting with upper case and then lower case letters.

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Here are the images from this font. The next thing I did was change the outline color of the images to black. (I don't know why, but they look more like stamps when they are black)

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

The next thing I did was select all my images and ungroup them. Then I chose some of the images I thought I would like a stamp of. I'll just focus on a few for this post!


So here are some snowflakes I chose. Now, for some reason, the Silhouette software doesn't recognize this font. It will just print blank for you. All you need to do is fill the image in. Yes, it's that simple! Highlight the image and with the fill color option, change the color of the inside of your image. It won't print the outline, not sure why :( . I chose to make my snowflakes blue.

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

 Now you can get creative... Add other fonts, quotes, resize the images, basically do whatever you like! Here is what I did... (Remember to fill in the color your fonts or else you will end up with the outline of the letters)

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Once you arrange your images the way you like, group them together. The next thing I did was select each image and create an off-set for them.

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Now if you look closely you will notice that if I leave the image this way when it is sent to the cutter it will cut all the little spaces in between my image. Since I don't want that to happen, I will first highlight the inside image, right-click and copy. Then highlight it again and right-click and delete the image. (don't worry) You should be left at this point with only an outline. Look something like this...

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Now highlight this image and right-click and select Release Compound Path. Go ahead and delete all the little pieces from the inside of the image. Like I did below.

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Next, highlight the image again, right-click and select Paste in Front. That should bring your image back. Note! Very important... DO NOT drag your image or move it on the screen or else it might not line up. Phew!!! I managed to keep it still!  Here's what it should look like now.

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Notice that the offset outline is black, if left this way the outline might be visible when you cut it with your machine. I changed the outline in mine by just selecting the outline portion of the image and changing it to a very light grey. Make sure you group the outline now and the image together!

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Time to select your cut style. Since I want just the out-line cut, I've selected the cut edge option. If you wanted to at this point you could go ahead a send this to your printer. This image is actually too large at this point for my liking, so I will re-size it and I would like to make a few more copies. I only want 5, but you can fill so many more on one sheet. I will be printing on an 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Here is what my sheet looks like.

DIY Stamps on the Silhouette! (Part 1)

Now you are ready to send it to your printer and then cut it out with your Silhouette machine. Make sure you save your work.
