It's World Card Making Day!!

Hello friends! Hope you all joined the celebrations for World Card Making Day! Today, I played with a couple of challenges from Latina Crafter. I really tried to play and joined more challenges, but sadly a bad headache sent me to take a nap and relax for awhile.

Now, I want to show you the cards I created with 2 of the 3 challenges posted HERE, each sketch has a theme.

My first card follows the sketch + Christmas theme. I used a piece of gold crafting metal sheet heat embossed the image in black.  The image is from the  "Nativity" set and the sentiment is from "Adorad al Salvador".  For the blackground I used the dot stencil and distress ink to create a soft area.

The second sketch + "Pink" theme. I wanted to create a CAS card and I really love how it turned out. This card was done in no time, I stamped the ribbon in pink ink, then I used a fine black marker to outline the image. I used the dot stencil again to create a bottom border, I used distress inks for this. Then, I stamped the sentiment in red ink, it means "Hope, love, faith" Finally, I added a swirl die-cut panel in pink cardstock, stitches and ribbon and the card was done. The image and sentiment are from "Dando la pelea" set.

I am submitting this card to:

• Addicted to CAS: Stencil

**You can join the celebrations from WCMD over at Latina Crafter. The challenges are open to everybody until October 10th, you can use any products you own** 

Hope you like them!
Have a fantastic day

World Card Making Day Projects!!

Today is World Card Making Day!!!

Hello my friends and Happy World Card Making Day!! Are you planning to make something creative today? I hope you do. I have a couple of thing to do early in the morning, but I am planning to stamp all afternoon {big smiles inserted}. I told DH today is a great day for ME! and I was planning to enjoy THIS day creating and having fun.
I have a couple of projects I want to share with you today, (later I will post more creations wink, wink)

I have a CAS card using Theresa's new set for Gina K. Designs. "A Very Merry Christmas". I started my card with some Soft Suede CS, then I stamped the cute snowflakes with basic Brown Ink and then added some Stickles to give it some shiny look. I stamped the main image on White CS and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils. I adhered a piece of Theresa's new digi paper Deck the Halls. The sentiment was stamped in Vanilla CS and Basic Brown Ink.

Even though is a "Card Making Day" I have a cute Gift Box-Mini Album project. I love how this turned out. I found a tutorial on a French Blog on how to create the box. The pictures in the Mini album are from my DD when she was born until she was 5 months old. For this project I used Melanie's New Set for Gina K. Desings. : Hip to be Square.

I created the box using Baby Gretel PP from American Crafts. The paper in the album is from BookShelf "Austin" (American Crafts). I added some Prima flowers and Pink Rhinestones. The ribbon is from Offray. The lace is a vintage I got from my in-laws.

Hope you like them.
