Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign Inspiration Cards

Hello friends!

Today's post is going to be super short and sweet. I have waaaayyyy too many things to do right now, so I will keep this brief! 

Alex Syberia Designs need to reach its funding goal to be able to go ahead and manufacture this beautiful collection, so please, help them! You can back them on their Kickstarter Campaign and help them spread the word about it! 

UPDATE: They have reached their Kickstarter GOAL!!! Thank you all that joined us and for supporting this campaign! Make sure to join today's Instagram Hop to enter their amazing giveaway of 15 prizes!

Today I have two inspiration cards today featuring a few of their beautiful sets. 

This first card features the For You Stamp Set 6x8" | Coordinating Dies that I stamped out using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks (Sunbeam, Citrus, Grapefruit, Peony, Pearfection and Surf)

To the background, I used the Modern Stripes Stencil 6x6" and applied Moonstone Glimmer paste to create a Slimline sparkly background. To extend the background I simply rotated the stencil once half of the paste was dry.

For this next card, I thought it would be fun to create a Christmas theme. So I added used Christmas colors to do that. This cute card features the From All of Us Stamp Set 4x6" and Coordinating Dies

For this background, I used the Fancy Background Stencil 6x6" with Gold Glacier Paste.

It's funny how your mind works, I knew there was something missing from this card, and it wasn't until now that I figured out what it was. I forgot to add the Celebrate Word Die to the top of the card. I since have and it really does complete it. Facepalm, LOL! If I end up taking new photos, because this is bugging me now, I will update these, haha!

Here's my UPDATED card!!!

I hope these Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign Inspiration Cards inspired you to go over and support this amazing Artist and small business, they are so deserving of all this support!

Thanks again for stopping by and until next time, happy crafting!

Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign | Blog Hop 2 & Giveaway

Did you know that Kickstarter is all or nothing? That means that Alex Syberia Designs need to reach its funding goal to be able to go ahead and manufacture this beautiful collection, so please, help them! You can back them on their Kickstarter Campaign and help them spread the word about it! 

Remember that you have some fantastic discounts, which are only available through their Kickstarter Campaign.

CARD INSPIRATION

So let me show you a few cards that I made featuring some of these beautiful products!

This first card features the Create Your Own Happy Stamp Set 4x8" & Coordinating Dies. I also used the Fancy Background Stencil 6x6" to dry emboss the background panel. Hard to see it in the first pic but you can see it better in the next two. I also used the Stand-alone Dies | Celebrate Word Die to complete the sentiment. 

The inks for this card are from Simon Stays Stamp and the embellishments come from Studio Katia.

This next card also features the Create Your Own Happy Stamp Set 4x8" & Coordinating Dies. 

This time for the background panel I used the Fancy Cover Die A2 (5.5x4.25") and used kraft cardstock behind it to coordinate with the colors I used. 

The inks again for this card are from Simon Stays Stamp and the embellishments come from Studio Katia.

Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign | Blog Hop 1 & Giveaway

The moment has arrived!! Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign is live!

Today, we are celebrating the launch of Alex Syberia Designs' very first collection of physical products through their Kickstarter Campaign! With clear stamps, dies and stencils, there's something for everyone to love!

To look at all of the designs in detail (including videos!), the exclusive offers they have for you, and see how you can support them, make sure you check their Kickstarter Campaign Page.

I am so happy for Alex and her new venture. And even more excited to be a part of this journey of hers as I have been a fan of hers for the longest time.

Both my cards feature a couple of adorable cuties from the new Smile and Wave Stamp and Die Set. If you have been following me you know I have a thing for shaker cards and love to come up with different ways to make them. For these two cards, I used my clear bag shaker technique to create two Partial See Through Cards. I won't go into all the how-to details here, but if you are interested in creating cards like these, click HERE for the complete tutorial!

With both cards, I stamped out the critters using Copic-friendly black ink and then colored them in using Copic markers. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating dies. For some of them, I also cut out another blank die cut to use on the backside to cover up any visible ink that could be seen through the see-through card panel.

For the background, I actually used leftover ink from ink blending done using the Modern Stripes Stencil that I sprayed down with water and pressed into the stencil, resulting in a watercolor transfer. I then split the panel in half to create two cards.

On the inside of the cards, I stamped out a sentiment from the Smile and Wave set. For shaker filler, I used Pastel Rainbow Sequins.

As you can see below, this second card was done pretty much like the first one. I used the excess of the previous background panel to create the "mountain" for my penguin to climb. 

For the previous card the critter was glued to the inside of the shaker pocket, but for this one below the stamped images are glued to the outside of the panel. For this shaker filler, I used Pastel Rainbow Confetti. The flatter the filler the better for sending these types of cards through the mail.

Here is what they look like when the cards are opened up. To keep your written message from being seen from the front you just have to write it on the bottom half of the card.

And just so you can get another visual of the see-through shaker panel, here are my fingers behind the front panel of the card.

I hope you enjoyed these fun see-through shaker cards, and give them a try. They are actually quite easy to make. Now let's get back to the blog hop details and the amazing giveaways!

Their Kickstarter Campaign, full of incredible discounts for you, will run from the 15th of September to the 16th of October 2022.
