All of the new products are now available for purchase and this second link will take your directly to the Alex Syberia SHOP.

Alex Syberia Designs is giving away a $15 (or £15) gift card to four lucky winners.

Open internationally. All 4 winners will be drawn from the entrants that have played along with this Blog hop by midnight BST November 11th, 2025. Winners will be announced on the Alex Syberia Designs blog 'Giveaway Winners' page on November 12th, 2025.

To create my first card for this release I have used the following Alex Syberia Designs products:-

Merry Mail Stamp Set

Merry Mail Die Set

Sparkly Flakes Cover Die

Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

Jingle Bell Joy Die Set (berries)

Winter Foliage Die Set (sprigs of fir)

I began by taking an A2 panel of white cardstock and ink blending it from the bottom left up towards the top right and fading as I went. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Rustic Wilderness to achieve this. I then die cut the panel using the Sparkly Flakes Cover Die and I splattered white acrylic paint over it all in a fine spray created with my craft toothbrush. I adhered the green panel to a slightly larger panel of sparkly silver cardstock found in the Black & Silver Mix Cardstock pack and in turn this was adhered to my card base and set to one side.

I used the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set to create the white frame which I backed with foam tape and applied to the green panel.

I created four postage stamps using the Merry Mail stamps and dies and I kept them simple and white so they'd pop against the background I had created. I also stamped the four images and sentiment and I coloured the images with the following Copic markers:-

Green - G28, YG67, YG45, G12

Red - R59, R39, R29, R27, R24, R14, R22

White - C5, C3, C1, C0

I highlighted with a white gel pen then die cut and applied the images to the stamps with foam tape. I arranged each stamp and then backed them with foam tape too and adhered in position. Lots of dimension!

Time to add some sparkle! I used the same silver glitter cardstock from the largest panel and die cut sprigs of fir from the Winter Foliage Die Set and red glitter cardstock was used in conjunction with the Jingle Bell Joy Die Set to create the berries. The red glitter cardstock can be found HERE. I inserted and glued the little bunches of 'greenery' to the lower left and upper right corners.

The final step was to apply some Fairy Jewels by Open Studio just to take the eye around the festive design.
