My favorite 5 Christmas cards!!

Hello friends! I was not planning to post  today, I got a little something last week, feeling tired and kind of congested, not fun, but today I felt a bit better and I hope I keep improving because who has time to get sick, right?

I was talking to my friend Lee Ann, who I call "seester", it is a long story, but just say we are very good friends, we have never met in person, but hopefully one day, anyway, she told me about this challenge on Debby's blog and I thought it was pretty cool!! and since I didn't send any Christmas cards out this year, at least I will show you my favorite ones.

Card #1: Using Party Paws Christmas "Noel Set" , I think this panda is super cute!!
Card #2: Another card using Crafter's Companions stamps, this one is very angelical and love the way the background turned out. This set is "Peace Angel"

Card #3: Love this ornament, super cool, perfect for card or tags! Here I used a couple of die sets from Top Dog Dies "Ornament & Tags #2" and "Merry Christmas" 

Card #4: Love this card very much, actually I gave this card to my sweet neighbor, so I can say I sent "a card" Here I used just one set to create the whole card, this set is called "Christmas Silhouettes"
 Card #5: Last, but not least, this is the card I created for he Coffee Lovers Blog hop and I used the "Frases navideñas" set and the cool coffee wood veneers

And here you have it. So hard to choose only 5, but I think these are my very favorites ;)

Have a great night!!
Come back tomorrow, I have 2 blog hops or you!!

Happy New Year!!

Hello friends!! Merry Christmas Eve! Feliz Noche Buena!! It's almost Christmas and I know many people are getting ready to celebrate with family and friends. Hope you all have a great time, I just wish I could be in Peru, hopefully soon.

Anyways, today I have a super fun New year's card! I don't do anything special here, but in Peru it's a big celebration, ahhhhh great times!
So, here is a card I made using dies from Top Dog Dies, this card was made in very short time, just in case you want to mass produce them for your family and friends.

Here are the details:

  • Make a card base from White cardstock. A2 size.
  • Cut a panel from watercolor paper 3.75" x 5". Use Watercolor Pencils or Spray mists to create the background.
  • Die-cut the number using Metallic Sheet and Top Dog Dies Vintage Number Dies.
  • Die-cut Top Dog Dies Party Drinks Die Set in White cardstock, color the glass as you want, add some glitter around the edges to create the sugar effect.
  • Add elements to watercolor panel.
  • Add red sequins.
  • Stamp sentiment (mine is computer generated), die-cut it using Top Dog Dies Banners #1 Die Set.



Hope you like it!!
Merry Christmas Eve!!

May Christmas

Hello friends! Happy Monday to you all! Days are flying by and Christmas is just few days away. Last Thursday my husband and I decided to go shopping, I thought the stores would be crazy crowded, but it was the opposite!! I enjoyed it (kind of), I got good deals and fun stuff for my daughter, btw, it is SO HARD to shop for a 10 year old now!! LOL.

Ok, I hope you have finished all your Christmas cards or maybe send them all (I haven't), but in case you haven't yet, this is a great idea, making this card didn't take too long and I love the results!

Here are the details:

Have a great day!

Tags, tags and more tags :)

Hello friends! Today, I am bringing you a gallery of tags, I decided to make my own Christmas tags this year, we have few presents under the tree without name and my child is getting crazy guessing if one of those ones are for her, mommy is torturing her, just a little bit, LOL.

Anyway, let me show you the tags I created, I used not traditional "Christmas colors", believe me they are super easy so, here we go:

For these tags I used Top Dog Dies Gift Tag Die Set, I used red cardstock to die-cut the to/from, For the big tags I used glittery cardstock, hard to see on the pictures and the the smaller tag I used white and kraft cardstock.
To decorate the tags, I mostly used Top Dog Dies Darling Deer Die Set and Top Dog Dies Ornaments & Tags #2 Set. I added a Merry Christmas Tag (except the red tag) to all the tags, I used Top Dog Dies Banners #1 Set

I stamped snowflakes and tree backgrounds. Added twine and red/green embroidery thread (I own thousands of them I used to do cross stitching before paper crafting)




Here you have some of them individually.




Hope you like them.  will star making Birthday Tags, these tags didn't take too much time, my daughter helped me to glue them and add the little details. If you have kids/grandkids that enjoy crafting with you, this is a great project to do together.

Have fun today!
