Your smile is the best gift!

Hello friends! August just arrived, I can't believe how fast this year is flying by! Pretty soon we are all  gonna be talking about Christmas, but for now I want to share the new Latina Crafter sketch + twist, although I used only the sketch this time.


Here are the details:
  • Make a card base from White cardstock. A2 size.
  • Cut a panel from Kraft Cardstock 4.75"x 3.5". Add a panel from yellow chevron paper, then cut a small panel from light blue paper, add it to panel and add stitches.
  • Adhere panel to card base.
  • Die-cut a landscape from green shimmering cardstock and add it to panel. Tie yellow twine around.
  • Stamp sweet cute Flogger on watercolor paper in Blazk StazOn ink, color it with markers, here I used Spectrum Aqua. Cut out image and add it to card base with foam adhesive.
  • Stamp sentiment on watercolor paper and black ink. 
  • Add a sun wood veneer and to it add a yellow dewdrop.
  • Add blue dewdrops and card is ready.

Latina Crafter August Release!



Hello friends! Welcome to Latina Crafter August Release!! This time Latina Crafter has 5 new girls and 6 new coffee stamps! I have three cards for you.
Hola amigas/os! Bienvenidos al nuevo lanzamiento de  agosot de Latina Crafter, esta vez tenemos 5 nuevas chicas de Jennifer y 6 nuevos sellitos de café!! Tengo tres tarjetas ara ustedes con mucho cariño.

I start with this new "Snowcones" set, perfect for Summer, I tried my best to showcase to set in the best way possible ;) I paper pieced the stand, the girl was colored with Spectrum Noir markers.
Empezamos con el nuevo set "Snowcones", este set es perfecto para el verano! Para el kiosko usé la técnica de "paper piecing", the girl was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers.


====================

Next, this new coffee set "One cup at a time", the saying was stamped in Vellum cardstock in Ganache StazOn ink, actually created a shaker with pink, red and white sequins, sadly the vellum is very thick and doesn't show the sequins too well. Finished it with a coffee stain die cut and rhinestones.
Seguimos ahora con el set "One cup at a time", el sentiment lo estampé en vellum, creé un shaker with sequins rojo, rosado y blanco, le agregué un die-cut de splash de café y rhinestones.


=======================

And the last project is using "Coffee and Prayer", again I stamped the saying on a piece on Vellum cardstock, added paper flowers, sequins and pearls, super simple, the uneven panels are the big detail here to give it a different look.
Y mi último proyecto, es con el set "Praying and Coffee", el sentiment fue estampado en Vellum, le puse un pedazo de cartulina rosada detrás para darle mejor vista. Le agregué flores de papel, sequins y perlas. Los paneles están inclinados para darle más vista y detalle. 


This is the line up:

Christmas in July!!

Hello friends!! Today I want to bring you a little bit of winter in this very hot season!! I honestly don't like extreme weather, but I will prefer some cold than the extreme hot temperatures we are having now. Anyways, I think we can start celebrating Christmas in July! So, I have a monochromatic gold card for you, here are the steps:

Step 1: Gather all your materials needed, in this case I used Stardream Metallic Fine Gold and Savoy Bright White Card stock. White Organza Ribbon, Golden Glitz Delicata ink and stamps.


Step 2: Cut a piece of Savoy Bright White cardstock, 4.25" square and stamps snowflakes in Golden Glitz Delicata ink. Mount piece on a 4.5" square piece of same color card stock.

Step 3: Die-cut snowflakes from Stardream Metallic Fine Gold Card stock.

Step 4: Die-cut a couple of same snowflakes from Bright White Card stock and adhere them behind gold one.

Step 5: Tie White organza ribbon on stamped panel, then adhere it to a 5" square Stardream Metallic Fine Gold card base.

Step 6: Add snowflakes with foam adhesive, stamp sentiment and add it to card with foam adhesive as well.

Stamps and dies are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, sadly, they are retired.
