Give thanks


Hello friends! Today, I am bringing you a super easy "Give Thanks" card. Perfect to mass produce and send to your family and friends, only few steps and ready to mail.

Here are the steps:

  • Die-cut a frame using the new Top Dog Dies Thanks A2 Mat Die in Gold Cardstock, this cardstock is super shimmery, it looks like gold metal. Cut a mat to adhere behind the mat. Here, I used a piece of patterned paper.

  • Die-cut leaves from Patterned Paper using Top Dog Dies Fall Foliage Die Set, ink all edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I also die-cut leaves from light brown cardstock to all to my card.

  • Add leaves to mat frame, green and red rhinestones and pearl. Finally add a twine bow to the leaves. I die-cut the Give from Top Dog Dies Give Thanks Die set in the same gold cardstock.

Let your light shine this Christmas

Hello friends! Happy Monday to you all. Today, I have a Christmas card for you using just a small sentiment stamp, I think, after so many years I finally figured it out, LOL.
For my background I used one of my latest toys tools, the eBrush!! I got it few weeks ago, but until yesterday I had the chance to use it, my daughter was so excited, she couldn't stop using it.

Anyway, I used 2 of the markers that come with the tool to create my cool background and the Dots Stencil.


 Here are the details of my project:

  • Make a cad base from White cardstock.
  • Mat background piece with a slightly larger piece of red cardstock. Adhere it to card base.
  • Cut a piece of gold paper. Adhere it to card base.
  • Die-cut a tag in white and red, cut a center piece from red tag and adhere it to white tag, add a strip of gold paper.
  • Die-cut a scallop piece from Green cardstock and adhere it to tag. Add twine and add tag to card.
  • Stamp sentiment from Frases Mini para Navidad set in StazOn St.Valentine Archival ink, add a fine strip of patterned paper and cut left side.
  • Adhere banner to card with foam tape. 
  • Cover a little wood veneer star from October's Kit in Gold Delicata ink. Then Add it to card.

The sentiment says: Let your light shine this Christmas.


For my project I used the Deconstructed Sketch #176

Give Thanks

Hello friends! Happy Wednesday, midweek is here and I am officially 42! LOL. Yesterday I had the post birthday effects, I had a great dinner at Red Robin with my husband and daughter, it was so much fun! But I ate all the food that I have not had in long time and my stomach was not too happy. So, I am back into my healthy eating again, also my husband bought few things to remodel my craft room, oh my, that's a lot of work!! I worked on that almost all day yesterday, I am super tired but excited to finishing all the organizing. I have a lot of things to sell and giveaway, so be alert ;)

Ok, back to my project, super cute Pumpkin Thanks card, made with Top Dog Dies.

Here are the details:

Happy Birthday!!

Hello friends! Happy Monday and Happy birthday to me!! After 40 you get excited to celebrate another year, LOL. I am turning 42 today and the first thing I have to do this morning is to have a blood test taken, did I mention I needed to fast? Oh yeah, the fun things you need to do especially on your birthday.

Anyway, today I want to share a birthday card, no, I didn't make a card for me, I made it for the little one I babysat until September, I babysat him for about 8 months and his big sister for almost 5 years! He turned BIG 1 yesterday and my family and I got invited to his birthday party last Saturday. I was so happy to see all of them.

My big idea inspiration for his birthday card came from an UNO card, and here it is!






I love how they turned out "the bag and the card". This card was super simple to make, I just followed the colors from an UNO card, I used the Top Dog Dies Vintage Alphabet Set, die cut the letters in white cardstock and colored the letters with Spectrum Noir Markers. The dots were stamped in Versamark Ink, then added gold embossing powder and heat set. The Celebrate" was stamped in  piece of vellum in Versamark ink as well and added White embossing powder and heat set, used my scissor to create the banner and added it to card. Both sentiments are from Birthday Bash set.

 Inside, I stamped the Happy birthday sentiment in Jet Black Archival ink and added the baby's name.

For the bag I used the Decorative Hanger Die from Soapbox Creations. First time using it, I am bad, I bought this die long time ago and I will be using it more often from now on.

Thankful for



Hello friends! Today, I want to share with you a very simple card with beautiful details. At first, my idea was to create a Thanksgiving invite, I was working on that, then I thought why not to make a card where you can write down all the things you are thankful for!  I think this can be a great game/ family time idea to do after your Thanksgiving dinner, and then we all can have the time to talk and give thanks.

So, here are the details:
  • Start die-cutting a couple of the big dies from Top Dog Dies Cherish Doilies and Tags set. Score them and adhere them to a piece of White cardstock (4.5" square).
  • Add piece to a 5" x 6" burgundy cardstock. Then die-cut Give Thanks in gold cardstock from Top Dog Dies Give Thanks Die Set, add sentiment to bottom part of burgundy piece.



  • Then, die-cut Top Dog Dies Fall Foliage Set in white cardstock, or you can do it from color cardstock. Color or sponge the leaves as you want to. Here I colored the leaves with Spectrum Noir markers, I used: LG2, DG3, GB7, DR6, Acorn TN5, TN8 and then all edges sponges with Aged Mahogany and Peeled Paint Distress Inks.

  • Add raffia around card and add foliage leaves , then make a bow and you  "Thankful for" note card is ready!

Added it to card with foam adhesive.
Finally, I die-cut a couple of snow flakes from Banner and Tree Die Set in gold cardstock, mounted them together and added it to card. Just to give it a little bit of color, I colored the ribbon and lights.

A couple of "Clean and Simple" Christmas cards

Hello friends!! It's Saturday (night!) and I am here, blogging and relaxing on my couch after a day in the garden. My daughter and I cleaned  up 2 small boxes and 75% of the biggest garden box, we left tomatoes only on the ground, hopefully we will get more tomatoes before the real cold weather starts.
We harvested 22 pumpkins, 4 spaghetti squash, tomatoes, potatoes and beets!!

Anyway, after that I was so tired I only wanted to rest, I didn't even cook, ordered pizza and the family was happy. {wink, wink}

Ok, let me show you a couple of projects I made few days ago with a soon-to-be released stamps by Latina Crafter. I was in the Christmas and watercolor mood! They are super simple with lots of clean spaces (if you know my style, I love layers and layers)

Feliz Navidad: For this card, I stamped the trees on a piece of watercolor paper in versamark ink, added white embossing powder and heat set. Then I used my Inktense pencils and applied red, green, blue colors mixing them with a pencil until I got the background I wanted. Added a piece of dark green cardstock and zig-zag stitches. Then, addedthe panel to an A2 white card base. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of vellum in Versamark ink and gold embossing powder. Finally tied twine. My card was inspired the Fusion Sketch
Submitting this card also to: Virginia's View Challenge: Clean and Simple and Addicted to CAS: Vellum


Disfrutando esta Navidad: Means "Enjoying Christmas". Pretty much the same as the first card, for this one the same tree, I sprayed the image with sunflower and chocolate mists and blue intense pencil.Added straight stitches and die-cut the left side with a scallop line die. The sentiment was stamped tho the side, added red ribbon to create a nice contrast. I got inspired by the CAS(E) this Skech #96 



Hope you like them.
Have a great night!

For You Tutorial

Hi friends! Today  I have a very simple and fun tutorial using brand new Sheena Douglas Stencils, this time I am using "Summer Meadow Stencil" and also new to the store Dreamweaver Embossing Pastes, in this project I am using Matte Black Embossing Pate.

Lets get started:

  •  Looks like this after all the pretty shimmering spray.

  •  Then, take your Claret StazOn Ink and stamp the daisies from Poppies and Daisies set. 


  •  While the paste still wet, sprinkle Dreamweaver Gold Metallic F/X. Set aside to dry. After it is completely dry, get a little bit of the gold fix and rub it on the embossed areas. It will give the black a really nice shimmer. 

  • This is the result. I added the embossed piece to an A2 card base, I added a strip of Candy Red Shimmering cardstock and few white stars I had leftover from the Christmas Wreath Die.

Hope you like it.
Have a great day.
