An Oldie But Goodie - A Valentine's Day Post

It's been quite some time since I last posted something. But I guess you already know that ;-)

And you also guessed that I've been busy... as usual.

Oh well, let's not complaint and jump right into today's post.

Today's post is Valentine's Day inspired, as the title suggests.

I created this card just like the old times... a vintage, shaped card featuring a Magnolia stamp and colored with Distress Inks and Kuretake watercolors. Papers and flowers are from Prima Marketing, Inc., the tag is from Crate Paper, and the heart shaped tag is from Magnolia. I also added trims, cheesecloth and sequins.

I'll probably be sharing another card soon ;-)

Thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

A Baby Card

Babies are a blessing from Heaven!

And they should be celebrated from the very instant the announcement of the new baby is made.

I guess that's one of the reasons why baby showers exist right? ;)

I made this card for a baby shower that I was invited to.

The stamp is by Magnolia and I colored it with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I added Stickles to make it pop-up. I distressed the edges with Walnut Stain and did some machine stitching too. Papers are Chalk Studio II by My Mind's Eye, card shape by Spellbinders, heart diecuts are Magnolia, wreath diecut by Memory Box, and stars diecuts by Sizzlits. The rest is a doily, trims, seam binding, jute, and cheese cloth. The name was computer generated.

I hope baby Alexander makes it safe and sound to the world! ~xoxo~

You Are Beautiful!

Here's a card that I did for a very special friend...

The featured stamp is Tilda with Rose Scent from the Lost & Found 2014 Collection. She was colored with Prismacolor Pencils. For the *matte* effect, I used a Finishing Sealer in matte. I also added Stickles in Star Dust and Clear Rock Candy. The background was colored with chalk.

The card is a *centered step* card. The folded heart tag is Magnolia, the doily is Spellbinders, the flowers are Prima Marketing, and the rest are cheese cloth, trims, seam binding, and machine stitching.

I hope that you have liked it! Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween is around the corner...

Patterned paper is by American Crafts and the stamp is Vampire Tilda, which I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.

This project will be published in the next issue of Revista Papeles y Más.

Happy 4th of July and Some News to Share!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!

For those of us who live surrounded by water...

this day means sun, water, and beach fun!!

So here's a card inspired in some *summer* fun...

It's a shaker card featuring the lovely Tilda on the Beach. She was colored in Prismacolor Pencils and I used sand to fill in the shaker. Isn't it cool? ;)

Patterned paper and sentiment is Magnolia, as well as the doohickey white flower and pale pink flower. The rest of the flowers were handmade. I also used pink tulle, brads and pearls.

I also did another shaker card for Saturated Canary stamps, in case that you are looking for more summer inspiration. You can see it here!

Now there are some news that I want to share. Head over to my *Magnolia Blog* to see what it is about ;)

Prismacolors and Magnolia

This is the second class that I taught at our local scrapbook event: *How to color Tilda with Prismacolor Pencils and Mineral Spirits*.

 

That's me... the 3rd one from left to right :-)

*Papeles y Más Magazine*... the primary sponsor for this event.

My classroom was full of amazing, talented ladies... and even a very talented gentleman was there taking my class ;-)

And here's the project that we created...

A paper bag featuring the lovely *Unsunny Sky Tilda*.

It was late and we were tired, so I couldn't take a picture of the entire group with their project, but still we had lots of fun and everyone was pleased with the results.

*THANK YOU SO MUCH* Magnolia for sponsoring my class!!

I couldn't have made it without you!

~XOXO~ Card

Two of my Magnolia cards will be published in the next issue of our local scrapbook magazine *Papeles y Más*... and one of them is this one:

I thought it would be nice to create something different to my usual style...

A *simpler* and a little bit *manly* card. I thought it would be nice to create something different to my usual style ;)

And to add a little bit more fun, I did it in 3D and added embroidery floss to the balloons. The sentiment is chipboard by Make It Crafty, which I colored with Copics. And Edwin was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Mineral Spirits.

Anyway, I can't wait for the magazine to be published and see what the rest of the ladies did! It sure is going to be a terrific issue :-)

Happy New Year & A Calendar

Happy New Year everyone!!

I am so happy that the new year is here! To me it means a *new start*... *new beginnings*... *refreshed expectations*!

And what a better way to start the new year with a calendar craft ;-)

I made this cutie a frame/shadow box like with lots of 3D-mensional stuff...

Even on Tilda I did a paper piecing technique (wings), so that she looked 3D-mensional too!

And on the back it has a pocket to store calendar pages and/or any other thing that you want ;-)

This was really fun and easy to put together, and I hope that you find it inspirational! Below is a video tutorial that I did not so long ago on how to make this shadow box. I hope that you like it too! :-)
