Together forever

Hello friends!! Feels like long time since my last post, I have been a bit busy, school is over and my daughter is home and already bored, LOL. I told her she could get a lot done if she helps around the garden, but she prefers the phone and her kindle, (not for too long, shhhh, don't tell I say it)

Anyway, I didn't work yesterday so I had time to craft and create few things for upcoming releases and also this pretty card.
Wedding season is here and this card is perfect for that occasion, the image reminds me one scene from the "Fireproof" movie.


This is the card I made using one of the new stamps from Latina Crafter. I used the sketch from Poppy Sketches + Harlequin Pattern, and this is the card.


I used the set "Diamantes" to create the background, stamped the border in versamark ink and added White embossing powder, then sponged the sides with Old Paper Distress Ink.
I created a panel, then stamped the stamp border from  "Sellos postales"  and salt and pepper image from "Me complementas" set, the sentiment is also from the same set. I used a border die to create the scallop piece.
Added ribbon, pearls and a heart wood veener. 

The sentiment says: Together forever like salt and pepper.

Top Dog Dies: Gelato Flowers and embossed leaves

Hello friends! Today, I am sharing a super easy tutorial over at the Top Dog Dies blog! I used gelatos, heat embossing and Christmas Patterned Paper!! Yes, I really liked the newspaper patterned, but since it was Christmas theme, I decided to use my gelatos and give it another look. Great way to stretch your supplies {wink, wink}

Anyway, this is the final card.

Graduation Cards!!

Hello friends!! Hope you all are starting a great week. I am getting a cold, not fun at all, but I have to keep moving. This week is the last school week for my child, oh boy, she is excited to take a break, I am pretty sure she will be bored in 2 days, LOL and wanting to come back to school soon.

Anyway, today I want to share with you a couple of Graduation cards I created for a friend. She needed one for a boy and a girl, I tried a new technique and I love the results!!

Here they are:

Girl's Graduation card: This is an A2 size card. I followed this tutorial from Splitcoaststampers, super easy and fun! The sentiment is from a digi stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, die-cut and embossed with Oval Nestabilities. As always I added zig-zag stitches, I thought the big flower ribbon could be perfect.
Inside was decorated with 2014, the die numbers are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, the border die is Laurel Lace Border Die from Top Dog Dies




Boy's Graduation Card: This one is the other one, a masculine one, super simple. This card is a 5"x5". The blue panel is 4.5" x 4.5" square and the yellow panel is 4" x 4" square. I created the background using star dies in different sizes I used the negative part (save the little stars for a different project). Then die-cut 2014 (I glue 2 pieces together to make it thicker), stamp chevron (from Hero Arts) in blue ink and ink all edges. Add the numbers to card with dimensionals.
color digi image from this set, cut it out, die-cut sentiment banner from same digital set and add them to card with dimensionals.

Back to the project, few days ago, I bought textured cardstock for a really good price, and since the colors are pastel, I decided to create a cute card with them.
I also had the perfect kite patterned paper, happy colors and happy images :) I think the happy face gives the images a very sweet detail. The kite was paper pieced, I added the kite and sun with dimensionals, added zig-zag stitches and voila!!

    Felt Headband with Top Dog Dies.

    Hello friends! Today I have a super cute and easy project using the new Top Dog Dies Pretty Petals Die set, I created a cute headband for Miss. E, she has been waiting too long "according to her" for me to finish this project. She loves it and I think you will too.

    Here are the details:
    •  Mix colors and glue them together. I used hot glue.
    •  Play with them until you find the perfect position.
    •  Glue a felt circle to hold all the flowers together.
    •  Glue circle with flowers to elastic headband. Add little pearls to flowers.

    •  Then, add an extra circle to cover the elastic band from the flower.

    And here is the project done! And my beautiful model is Miss E. She enjoyed the photo session ;)



    Hope you like it and give it a try.
    Have a great day!
