Celebrate

Hello friends! July is here! WOW, six months already gone, soon we will be celebrating Christmas {wink, wink} Sorry again for the lack of posting, I don't want to bother you with my health problems, but I was doing better and then BAM again in pain, so I post when I can, I have a lot of more to share, just not enough time.

Anyway, Sara Davies is coming to HSN!! and the Gemini machine is one of the amazing products she will be sharing there.


I want to share with you this card I created in no time, the dies used (except the Celebrate) are included with your machine!! as you can see is no stamping in this card. I used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to color the flowers.



Here are the details:
  • Create a card base from Ultra Premium White Cardstock.
  • Die-cut (x2) and emboss the corner frame from Coastal Pearl Shimmering Cardstock.
  • Die-cut and emboss the flowers and leaves from Watercolor paper, then color them with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens: Sand Dune, Olive Jade, Sea Breeze, Solar red, Moonlight, Peony, Clear.
  • Die-cut the butterfly from cork.
  • Die-cut (x3) the Celebrate word in Yellow Pearl Shimmering Cardstock, add Stick-it to the back of each die-cut piece, adhere them together to create a 3D look.
  • Adhere all the piece to card, add a twine bow and pearls to flowers.

The Gemini is coming to HSN!!



Hello friends!
Great news! The Gemini machine is coming to HSN!! Sara Davies of Crafter's Companion will be there showing you all the amazing things you can do with this machine. I have to confess something, I haven't been blogging much because I got an injury on my right shoulder and hand while doing yard work, yes, I think I worked too hard, and since I have this machine already (Yes, I am very lucky and blessed)  I've been suing with no problems, especially no handles, so you can die-cut and emboss without using your hands.

Let me show you a project I made with the Gemini (which includes dies and more when you buy it), I created a couple of cute mini tags! Perfect for special occasions.


What's in your Gemini Machine

More projects coming soon!!
Have a fantastic day!
