Gift Card Holder Tutorial

Hello friends! Today I am bringing you a super easy and fun tutorial using a couple of new Signature Dies from Top Dog Dies, these dies will be available September 26th.

 So let's get started.

  • Cut a panel from Glossy Cardstock 5.75" x 11", fold cardstock piece in half (5.75" x 5.5") and die-cut under the straight line, like creating a card using the Top Dog Die Signature Emerson Die.



  •  From the center line, score at 1" each side, as seen in the picture.


  •  Fold center score line like creating a little book.




  •  At this point you can decorate your gift card holder any way you like. Here I used a  ziploc bag, used 4 Spectrum Noir markers and sprayed alcohol, then rub the front of my gift card holder and set aside to dry, you can check out the tutorial about this technique HERE


  •  Add strong adhesive and closed that side.


  •  Decorate the inside if you wish, here I stamped the sentiment from Birthday Innies set, insert your Gift Card.


To finish the project I tie on fuchsia satin ribbon, I stamped a Happy birthday sentiment on a little tag from Top Dog Dies Mini Tags Die Set, then tied it on the ribbon.

These are the dies I used for this project:

  • Cut a panel from Patterned Paper, this one has a newspaper/chevron combo, but I took the dot stencil and added white embossing paste to create more textured.

Autumn Mum Greetings.

Hello friends! Sharing today a couple of cards I made using the brand new stamp "Autumn Mum Greetings" from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

 If you have not had a chance to check out the new stamp sets and dies released by SNSS this month, head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store to see what's new! 


For my first project, I stamped the mum twice om white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black, color them with Spectrum Noir Markers and the cut them out (I didn't have the dies yet). I cut a panel from White cardstock (3.5" x 4.75"), dry emboss about less than 3/4 of the panel, then I color some areas with a fine brush and Distress Inks, added a piece of tape ribbon, hemp and the flowers. I stamped the sentiment on a small tags. Add all pieces to a pink card base. I added few strokes of Clear Wink of Stella to the flower.



For my second card, I kept it very CAS. I stamped the flowers in red and green ink. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of white cardstock and I took advantage of a scrap piece and kept the shape of it, added a piece of dark red cardstock and added stitches. Added more stitches to all the sides and added it to a white card base. Finally, added clear and red rhinestones, super easy!



 I am submitting these projects to:

Hot pot

Hello friends! How are you doing today? Hope your day is amazing and better than mine, personally is not bad at all, BUT yesterday we found mouse droppings around the kitchen, oh my goodness! I freaked out, I cleaned up like crazy, but at the same time I was looking around because  "I am scared of mice!" YES! I am admitting it, they freak me out, I can't even see pictures of them. My daughter told me yesterday "Mom, I think you are overreacting! LOL!!

Anyway, hopefully we (I mean my husband) can catch it and my life will be back to normal ;)

Ok, now to my card. I created this card with using one of the new Halloween stamps "Best Witches", from Crafter's Companion. I had a lot of fun coloring this image! I decided to keep the layout pretty simple.

Here are the details:

Hola, Hola!!

Hi friends! Hope you are starting a great week! Today, I want to show you a couple of cards I created for Latina Crafter's new release!! Six fabulous dies and wood veneers. Maybe, you have a friend or 2 or more who speak Spanish, I think these dies would be so handy to have around ;)

Let's get started!

Hola! For this card I used the new die "Hola", die-cut a couple of pieces, one in red and one in black to create a little shadow. The background was created with the "Chevron stencil" and 4 different spray mist colors. I glued the die pieces onto the background piece, then added few black sequins and added the panel to a A2 white card. It took less than 5 minutes to create! YAY!


Feliz cumpleaños: I wanted to keep this card in a monochromatic style. I used a piece of Kraft cardstock (love this Kraft CS, super smooth and not too dark in color) to create my card A2 card base. Then I cut a panel from white cardstock (3.75" x 5"), I used a "Dot Stencil" and Distress Inks to create the background. After that, I die-cut a kraft panel, die-cut the  "feliz cumpleaños" in pink cardstock and glued them to the panel. Added a couple of the new wood veneers and fuchsia rhinestones. VOILA! Card was done.

Sweet 'n Sassy September release!!


Hello, Sweet 'n Sassy  friends!  Welcome to the September 2014 Release!  Autumn is such a wonderful time of the year.  Just think of cool crisp mornings, warm colors, ripe, juicy apples, changing leaves, beautiful fall flowers, and Thanksgiving and you have the makings of a fabulous release!

This release is a little different from those in the past as some of the items have already been released to Sweet Perks Club participants…but now, there are a few more Fall surprises we have to share with you!

Here you have the new stamps:
They are all GREAT!!  You are going to love them all! 

Let me show you what I have for you today.

Thankful for you: This card is super simple and I love how it turn out, I wanted to create more than just a background, so I stamped the  Skeleton Leaf Background (twice) on a piece of white cardstock in Versamark Watermark ink, then added white embossing powder and heated set. Then, I used Distress Inks to create a yellow/orange background and for the other one I used blue/green Distress Inks. Then, I used the new Leaf Silhouettes Die Set to die-cut leaves. I used only one from the blue/green background I created, I will be using that one in another project ;) After that I added the die-cut leaves to my background piece, stamped the sentiment from So Grateful set, added a little strip of Cooper Metal Sheet to the end of the BG line, added sequins and twine, added my pieces to a white card base and my card was done!




Happy Fall: Here I used Beary Bountiful Autumn set. This card turned out a lot better than I expected, my main idea was to create something CAS, then I added few things here and there and I started liking more that way, LOL. This card is 5" square. The white panel is 4.5" square, I stamped the background using Distress Inks  and Falling Leaves Set, then I scored each side at 1/8". Then I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers and die-cut, embossed and stenciled it with a square die. I stamped and colored extra hat, pumpkin and Happy Fall sign, then cut them out and added them to the image with foam adhesive. The sentiment was stamped in Coffee Archival Ink. Finally, I die-cut and embossed the small leaves from Leaf Silhouettes Die Set using Cooper Metal Sheet and added them to the card.
