God bless America

Hello friends, how have you been? I've been busy, sick family members and tired!! Life is giving me too many lemons, so I am keeping making lemonade {wink, wink}
Anyway, today I am bringing you a very American card. When I saw these stamps from Technique Junkies, I knew I needed them for my 4th of July cards, this is one of a set I am making. Super easy and mail friendly.

Here are the details:

Start cutting a piece of watercolor paper (here size 3.75" x 5"), add a little bit of Ultramarine Blue Color Burst and then mist the paper to release the colors.

On a piece of watercolor paper, stamp the banner from "Pennant Set #4" in red and blue ink, here I used my Mini MISTI, easy to stamp the image several times without mistakes.

After your blue watercolor piece has dried, cut a small piece of vellum and stitch it to the panel.

Fussy cut the banners and add blue twine to connect them together. Stamp the "God bless America Pennant" sentiment on a piece of red cardstock, add thin gold adhesive tape and add it to card with foam adhesive. Add the panel to a A2 cad base.

Here is the card standing up. Very simple and elegant.

Hope you like it and give it a try. Remember you can buy these stamps using my code TJ10Giovana for a 10% off of you purchase!!

Have a fantastic day!!

Happy Birthday Latina Crafter

Hola hola!! El día de hoy las diseñadoras alumni de Latina Crafter nos hemos reunido para celebrar su 6to Aniversario!! Felicidades Diana, muchos éxitos y muchos años más con Latina Crafter!! Deseo expresar mi gratitud a Diana por haberme permitido ser parte de Latina Crafter por varios años, compartiendo ideas, experiencias y cositas detrás de cámara, largas charlas en Facebook, oraciones y lágrimas también, la amistad continúa aún cuando ya no sea parte del Equipo de Diseño, mucho gracias por todo!!

Mil bendiciones Diana y Latina Crafter!!

Si empezaste a saltar y llegaste aquí a través de Tere, llegaste al lugar correcto.

A continuación les presento el trabajo que he preparado para ustedes con mucho cariño.

Estampamos los globitos del set "Feliz Cumpleaños" en papel para acuarela o watercolor en Versamark Watermark y luego aplicamos polvos blancos para embosado a calor (heat embossing), coloreamos los globitos con Spectrum Aqua Markers.

Cortamos un borde en cartulina celeste. TIP: Aquí utilicé mi MISTI y uno de los Creative Borders, así el die queda perfectamente alineado.

Luego cortamos el die "Felicidades" en cartulina negra, aquí corté 3 veces, le coloqué Stick It en la parte de atrás de la cartulina, así adherirlo es mucho más fácil.

Colocamos las piezas en una base de tarjeta de color blanca. Como toque final, agregué Spectrum Noir Sparkle a los globitos para darle un toque brillante.

Aquí les presento la tarjeta , una vez más Felicidades Diana y Latina Crafter en tu 6to cumpleaños.

Psalm 96:11

Hello friends!! I am here today with a super cool technique, a way to stretch your supplies to the max, hehehe, this technique it's very easy, I promise. Recently, I got the new Nuvo Glitter markers and I have tried a couple images (I will show them later to you), but this time I tried combining them with embossing paste, check it out!!!

I have few pictures to show you the steps, so let's get started:

First, scribble the blue glitter marker from Nuvo Midnight Shadows on a piece of acetate and combine it with clear embossing paste.

Put together a piece of watercolor paper and stencil, here I used Diamond Fade Stencil and start applying the mix, add more glitter marker to the embossing paste to create a ombre effect.

After your paste mix is dried, you can see the glittery shimmer on your piece, it is beautiful!!

Stamp sentiment on a piece of vellum using your MISTI. The sentiment is from our new release "Psalms of the sea" set. Then stamp the wave, also from the same set.

And here it is the card all finished, I added few dew drops and ribbon. Easy and very elegant, the pictures really don't do justice.

Hope you like this project and give this super easy technique a try. Remember you can get the highlight products HERE, remember you can get the new release stamps with a 15% discount until today!!! You can add my discount code TJ10Giovana for a 10% off in other products.

Have a fantastic day!!

Purple love

Hello friends! Happy Monday!! Hope you are starting a great week. I've been dealing with horrible allergies in the last week or so, so bad I was afraid to go outside, thank God things are better and my eyes are not too itchy anymore, but still taking the allergy pills so I can survive the pollen season ;)

Anyway, I have a couple of projects, lots f purple, I have to confess that purple is not my favorite, but the combo used here is really pretty.

Stamps and supplies are from Crafter's Companion, Both cards were colored with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens, images were stamped on Spectrum Noir Watercolor cardstock and in JetBlack Stazon Ink. The pretty shiny paper is the new Purple Mirror Cardstock (this was available at HSN)

This first card uses Floral Delight Set, to embellish the card I added pearls and stitches, very simple yet elegant.

This second card uses Flights of Fancy set, I also added stitches and sprinkle bits of blue sparkle marker.

Entering these projects to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Anything goes"

Hope you like them
Have a fantastic day!!

Details about this card. I stamped the image on White Premium Cardstock and colored it with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. I masked the image and created a template using a circle and waves, for the sun I sponged yellow ink and for the waves I used light blue and blue inks. I created a window frame using square dies and Coastal Pearl Shimmering Cardstock, added it to card base with foam tape. Stamped the sentiment in Light blue ink. Finally I added sea shell embellishments and cheese cloth underneath.

Card size is 6" x 6"

Here it's a front view of the card.

This project uses "Fireworks" and the sentiment "Like Fireworks"

For this project I stamped the "Fireworks" image on a piece of watercolor paper in Versamark Watermark Ink and White embossing powder., then applied Stormy Sky, Broken China, Faded Jeans and Mustard Seed Distress Inks, after that I added Spectrum Noir Sparkle (gold and blue) to the firework centers and lines. Then, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of gold vellum in JetBlack Stazon Ink and cut it in half, positioning half on the front and the other half inside. I added stitches around the panels.

Card size is A2.

My Sweet Petunia and Unity Stamps Swap Hop!!

Hello friends!! Welcome to another collaboration blog hop between My Sweet Petunia and Unity Stamps!!

For today, I have a couple of projects I want to share with you, simple and fun ones. As soon as I got my stamps, I colored them, you know I wanted to have them ready to go ASAP, lol, well that didn't happen, but another story. True story though is that I love to color, relax me after a very long day of work and makes me happy too!!

TIP: I like to keep my image on my MISTI while coloring, I make less mess and don't lose my image (yeah, sometimes I can't find my colored images)
So, let me show you them to you.

Project 1: This project uses "I have no fears" set. Stamped the image using my MISTI on a white piece of cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (x2). Colored one image with Spectrum Noir Markers, and the second one only the grass/flower part, then create a window with Oval dies. Stamped the sentiment on vellum and green ink and added to the left top corner. Finally, I added 3 little heart die-cuts. Added a piece of patterned paper under the adhered panels and to the card base.

Project 2: This card is super fun!! I honestly had another idea for this project, but love how it turned out. I stamped the super cute image in Memento Tuxedo black and the sentiment in Ken Oliver Red Ink from Start Each Day set, colored the image with Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. Cut the panel and added it to a piece of patterned paper and added stitches, die-cut a couple of ric-rac piece and glue them together. Final touch was a pink button with silver thread.

Few details:
