Holiday Lights Blog Hop! – Ez-Light

Welcome to the Holiday Lights Hop!

Today, I’m sharing a fun, interactive card that really lights
up! Don’t worry, it wasn’t hard to make. I’ll show you how. And then, when you hop along with
us, you’ll see more beautiful light-up cards, all featuring lights from Pear Blossom Press. Get
ready for lots of inspiration, and be sure to comment as you hop, for your chance to win a $50
store credit!

So I’ve decided to play with an adorable stamp set by Clearly Besotted which was just perfect to light up! And of course I’ve colored it with my beloved copic markers in rainbow color palette! Because yes, rainbow is my favorite color!

After doing that I’ve cut out the paper where there was a light bulb and added a piece of vellum behind so my Ez-light could be seen a little better!

are you ready for the magic? Because and I already told you this coloring lights up! and these EZ-light are soooo easy to use!

I really like to play with those products to give to my coloring a little magical touch! And children (and adults!) love to receive a light up card! Here is a little peek on how it looks when it lights up!

Every good hop has prizes, right? So Pear Blossom Press is giving away a $50 store credit!

Tonic Studio Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

I’m so excited today to be able to join tonic studio and share their new Release! This stamp release is made by Maria Willis! These stamp set will be only be sold as a bundle, they’re an exclusive for Tonic Studio (so you can get yours on their shops!) and will be only available while supplies last! So, grab yours before they’re gone!

For today’s project I’ve decided to make a little step by step tutorial on how I would color a little monster! As you know I do a lot of videos for other brands but this time I thought….why not a photo tutorial? so here we go!

So I’ve stamped my monster six times and behind each monster you can see the color I’ve used for that step! So easy and yet so effective!

In the last step I’ve also used a little black pencil to add some shadows and few details with a white gel pen!

I hope you’ll find this little tutorial helpful! and remember to grab your stamp set+dies before it’s gone!

Wishing you a creative day,

Alberto

September Slimline Challenge – MFT

Our new monthly Slimline challenge features ideas for getting creative with your slimline cards. Our team is excited to share their ideas, and we’re ALL excited to see how this newest challenge inspires you!

Christmas is such a special time for so many of us, and Christmas cards are a time-honored tradition for recognizing the season and extending heartfelt wishes for a joyous holiday to our friends and family. For this month’s Slimline Challenge, the assignment is simple. We want to see your best slimline Christmas card…and GO.

MFT products are encouraged, but not required – just make sure to create a beach-themed slimline card for this challenge. You can enter your cards for this month’s challenge in the Inlinkz Link Up at the MFT stamps blog.

And here is what I’ve made for this month’s slimline challenge!

I’ve decided to make two different cards, one using only warm tones and the other one using only cold tones! I love playing with different color combos!

So I’ve used this amazing alphabet die to cut out the word “CHRISTMAS” and then colored every letter with my copics.

And then I’ve added some cute critters to put on top of the words.

I hope you’ll like my coloring for today and wish you a creative day,
Alberto

Three days until the new Release – MFT

Hello Crafty people and welcome back to my blog!

I’m so happy to see you here again curious for a new peek of the new MFT stamps release!

and today’s coloring was super fun to make!

Sometime I enjoy a little coloring study and trying different color combos….but when you have a ton of stamps to color a little piece of paper isn’t enough!

So I’ve stamped my sweet christmas gnomes into a copic friendly sketchbook to try all the different shades!

After I’ve stamped all my gnomes I’ve used my favorite color combos and tried some of my all time favorite combos mixed with some new test!

As you know I also make video for MFT sharing copic color combos so try new combos is always FUN!

(you can find my video on the MFT instagram TV)

I hope you’ll like my coloring for today, don’t forget to come back to my blog tomorrow for another countdown day to the new release!

Wishing you a creative day,
Alberto
