Love


Hello friends!! February has arrived and we have also been told by Phil, Winter is sticking with us for 6 more weeks (I don't really believe it, just joining the fun), we have a Winter storm coming today to my area and honestly I am tired of snow and cold weather, plus the cold, flu, sickness, ugghh, I am dreaming of Spring!!

Anyway, until Spring comes, I have a very lovely card for you! My mojo has been gone for a while, but I think it finally made its come back! I feel like I want to craft everyday. Well, two night ago I took one stamp from "Arrow the Art" set and 1 mask "Love"word from a Stencils and Masks Love by Leoni Pujol and stamped the hearts and masked the sentiment, it was relaxing to make this card.

Here are the steps:
  • Stamp heart from "Arrow the Art" set on a piece of White Cardstock (3.5" x 4.75') in red ink.
  • Color the hearts with the new Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers, here I used: PP5 and PP6,  then added Solar Red and Clear Sparkle Markers, for the background I used FS3.
  • Mask the "love" word on a piece of vellum. I used a spray machine to create the mask. Tear the vellum paper, add behind it a piece of gold cardstock.
  • Add a very thin piece of Gold Metallic tape to the panel, tie twine around.
  • Add foam tape to add and add it to card base.


 
Hope you like it!
Have a fantastic day!

Hello Beautiful

Hello everyone! Hope you all have a great Christmas/d weekend I relaxed and didn't do as much as I wanted, but it OK, sometimes you need to slow down, the snow doesn't want to leave us yet, so I he shoveled the driveway as a workout, lol.

So today, I have an elegant card for you, the steps are very simple and easy to follow. For this card I used Crafter's Companion and Hobby Tape metallic tapes. This card is a 6" x 6" square.

Step 1: Gather all your materials together, I ended up using 1/4" gold metallic and 1/8" white.
Forever in my heart Die, Scallop Border Die, Pink Pearl Shimmering Cardstock, 6"x6" White card base

Step 2: Cut a piece of patterned  paper, this one is 2" x 5.25", then apply the 1/8" Gold Metallic Tape every 1/4" (as seen in picture)

Step 3: Now add the 1/8" White Crepe Tape in between gold tapes.

Step 4: Add piece to  5.25" x 5.25" patterned paper.

Step 5: Add a piece of 1/4" Gold Metallic Tape to die-cut border panel.

Step 6: Add sentiment from Hello Beautiful set , heart die-cut, Add embellishments.

Here is the final look. Love the color combo and the gold and white tape really add an extra elegant touch.


Entering this card to Word Art Wednesday: Anything goes.

Hope you like it!
Have a fantastic day!!

What I love most about my coffee

Hello friends!! How are you all doing? Hope the Christmas spirit is all around you and your family. I have a new project for you, showcasing products from 3 of my favorite companies!

So, let's get started

  • For this project I used a leftover colored piece that I used for this card, just a small piece, I didn't think it will work for anything, but it did {wink, wink}
  • I added super thin 1/32" Silver Metallic Tape from Rainbow Tape.
  • I stamped the coffee sentiment from Latina Crafter on a piece of vellum and in red Ink. 
  • To create the card base, I started with a piece of Ultra White Premium Cardstock, added a piece of snow acetate piece, then cut a piece of patterned paper and added to card base.
  • Finally, added the other panels and coffee mugs wood veneers.





Submitting this project to Winter Coffee Lovers  Blog Hop!

Just Truckin'

Hello friends!! Happy Friday!! Hope you all are having a great day after a fantastic Thanksgiving!  Me, I am just resting, no shopping or craziness for this old lady, LOL. I don't like big crowds so I prefer to sit and watch TV and relax, so this card is just perfect for a super chill day, don't you think?

This stamp set is a brand new release from the new Sheena Groovin' 60's Just Truckin' Set, I stamped the image on a piece of heavy Vellum paper in Jet Black StazOn Ink, I used my MISTI to apply several layers of ink, then just set it aside to dry completely. The card base is from Watercolor paper, measures 5" x 7", I used the also brand new Groovin' 60's Crazy Perspective Stencil and with the help of my eBrush and my Spectrum Noir Markers, here I used CT2, CG3, LG3, BP5. When the image is completely dried sew it to card front, then stamp the flowers from the same set on vellum in Neon Pigment Inks and add them to card.



Hope you like this new collection, you can check out the other stamps and stencils HERE

Have a fantastic day!
