Alex Syberia Designs Midnight Blooms

Hi card making friends and welcome back.  Today I’m sharing two cards created with the Alex Syberia Designs Midnight Blooms stamp and die set.  This is part of the NEW release that went live last week.  Unfortunately, I spent the week in bed with bronchitis, so I’m just circling back around to share them with you.

Thank you for all your emails and texts concerning my cold.  I did make it to my Dr. who confirmed it was bronchitis.  He gave me some antibiotics and couch syrup (the good stuff with Codeine), so I am on the mend.  I’ll be working half days for a few days just so I continue to get rest and get better.

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. See below for my full disclosure.

This beautiful set also has coordinating stencils which make it super easy to color and cut out.  I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks for today’s cards.  Each color has a light, medium and dark ink pad so it takes the guess work out of which colors to use to stencil layers.  There is also a hot foil plate for the flowers which I also hope to circle back around to and play.

How to create the Alex Syberia Designs Midnight Blooms Pink card:

Products Used:

• Midnight Blooms, Stamps and Dies
• Layering Stencil for the Midnight Blooms
• Happy New Year Hot Foil Plate
• Magic Stars Hot Foil Plate
• Polished Brass Glimmer Hot Foil

Start by ink blending the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ white card front with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Bubblegum, Sweet and Taffy.

Next, using Polished Brass Foil, foil the Magic Stars Hot Foil Plate down the center of the card front.  Cut a 1/2 inch strip of the left side of the card front at attach it to a top folding A2 sized card base.

Then, Cut a 1/2″ strip from gold glimmer paper and attach down the left side of the card.

Finally, stamp the image onto another piece of white cardstock 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, stencil the color in using the above noted pink inks, and the leaves and stems in Celery, Limelicious and Pearfection.  Cut out the flower and use small pieces of foam squares to attach it to the card front.

Use Polished Brass Foil to foil the Happy New Year Hot Foil Plate and add it across the bottom of the card.

How to create the Alex Syberia Designs Midnight Blooms Yellow card.

• Products Used:
  Midnight Blooms Stamps and Dies.
• Layering Stencil for Midnight Blooms
• Frosty Lace Stencil
• Glitz Glitter Gel Iridescent
• Stay Gold Sequins

Start with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ card front in white and ink blend it with yellow inks:  Lemonade, Sunbeam and Citrine.

Next, lay the Frosty Lace Stencil over the piece and use a putty knife to add Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel in Iridescent through the stencil.  Wash the stencil and knife right away and set the card front aside to dry.  When dry, attach to a top folding A2 sized white card base.

Then, on a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of white cardstock, stamp the flower image, then add the colors with the layering stencil.  Using the same yellows as the background and the greens used in the previous card.

Die cut the flower out and add it to the center of the card.  Stamp the sentiment in black and die cut it out as well.  Attach it under the flower on the left.

Finally, embellish with a few gold sequins.
