A SWEET TAG...yes, yes, another tag

the tag maker lady here again, lol

this is my last project from the september card kit from artful delight.
and the beginning of the end of our term with artful delight. that gives me one more card kit for the month of october and 4 more project to share with you. it all has been so sweet, hence the name for my card.

Sweet

4" round

you already know all the supplies for my card are from this september's card kit and i made the circle with the cricut expression. i say circle and not circles because the image i chose has an outline and the patterned paper is double sided so from one cut i got two. like the  BOGO, hehe

the leaves are from a martha stewart punch (i guess not all the supplies are from the kit) but i had to give the beautiful flower some leaves, right? right!

the "sweet" letters are from the 12 x 12 alpha sheet you get from glitz (dapper man collection) and i like them so much because they are skinny (like i used to be- lmbo).

and here you have it....so sweet :)

my sweet neighbor liked this tag so much i am going to be very nice and gift it to her.
i told her the colors of this paper reminds me of fall and her pumpkin pies...that was a hint!!!---maybe i get a freshly baked one soon. hehe, let's see!

hope you have a great week and again,
thank you so much for stopping by my blog.

YOU EQUAL AWESOME...made with a brown paper bag

happy fall to you all

the weather in my area has been beautiful, cool and crispy. i hope you are enjoying it too.

today's post for artful delight was inspired by a pin from pinterest. i will show it at the end of the post.

You = Awesome

Me = Grateful

using a small brown paper bag 

(all supplies minus the paper bag are founded in the artful delight september card kit)

 

folding the bag in certain way to have a pocket where you can insert a note, money, tickets or whatever you would like. i stitched the two patterned papers with my sewing machine onto the bag, hard to see because of the edges being distressed.

i cut strips of the brown panel paper into strips to add some of the sentiments from the paper smooches stamp set called many thanks ALSO included in the september card kit, and tuck them inside the pouch. i made the semi circle on the patterned paper with a circle punch to match the one already in the paper bag. i added it the rounded fleur d lis paper clip just because to me it was the perfect spot :D.

i wrapped it all in jute and also added one of the small arrow chipboard on the center of the bow.

more arrow chipboards where added pointing to the chipboard cloud where i stamped another sentiment from the paper smooches stamp set.

this project has many uses....just use your imagination, :D

if you would like to join us in this month's challenge, please click here. you will also find more projects there made with our september kits (scrapbooking and/or card).

hope you enjoy it.

here is my inspiration from that pin

have a great week!

ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS...while they last

in my case not everything is happy all the time and i know that is the case of most of us :D

a family member has been battling with a bit of sadness these days and this card if for that person. a reminder of better days (past, present and future).

Enjoy the Little Things

4" x 6"

i am using finley from glitz designs again..actually the whole card is done with three finley elements: the base for the card and the main element (deer) are from the "what nots" and the sentiment is a sticker from the "titles and accents" 12 x 12 stickers sheet.

i love how the mini hearts are cut out in the stickers, i think is a nice touch.

anyway, this is one of the simplest cards i have ever made. finley makes it so easy. all the color i need is there, the die cuts are super cute. 

this deer i used is almost as big as the card, as you can see. 

ready to be the star of the show.

the little brown dots on the bottom of the card remind me of the spots on the baby deers. 

you can find this finley collection at nani ke ola scrapbooking. i am so happy to be able to help them spread the word. they are a new online scrapbooking store...just a baby yet....but with lots of potential. the girls are into mixed media and they are making gorgeous layouts, canvas and all kind of pretty projects. stop by and let us know what you think. 

i hope you enjoy your visit.

and thank you for stopping by.

ENDLESS GRATITUDE...a tag for a friend

hello fellow bloggers,

this tag is for a friend, it will be on top of a small present so maybe we can call it a gift wrap topper instead a tag. we make these pretty projects, we give them names and titles. we label them but the truth is, most of them can be used in any way we want to use them, am i right or what? lol.

sooo, if it inspires you today,  make it and use it as it fits your needs. :D

Endless Gratitude

2.75" x 4.75"

cute, isn't it? not my everyday colors but they still a pretty color combo.

if you receive the artful delight kit you already know most of my supplies for the tag are from this september kit.

the base patterned paper is from the authentique "strong collection".

i die cut the doily with a quickcutz (antique doily) die i purchased at j's and cut it in half. the paper i used for the doily is from the same authentique collection "strong".

the pretty and unique sentiment is from paper smooches "many thanks" stamp set. the flower is from prima and i distressed it a bit with brown dye ink.

i embossed the white cardstock from bazzill (this one came in with another kit) using a cuttlebug embossing folder.

the burlap is the remnant of the mini pocket from maya road i used in this card. the jute is also from maya road.

i used the glue gun to attach the burlap and the flower and the mini bows (just for the fun of it), hehe.

and another "this is it" for today. 

i hope you like it too, i know my friend will. she always makes me feel so good and now is  my turn to make her feel good too.

thanks for stopping by flowerdisco and know that i still value you so very much.

have a great week!

IT'S DAPPER MAN!

hope you all had a great weekend!

today i am using patterned paper and stickers from the dapper man collection from glitz designs that came with my artful delight monthly card kit. wow! that was a mouthful of words, lol.

It's Dapper Man

3" x 6"

as i said in my short video here (where i show you the contents of the monthly kit), i fell in love with the colors of this collection. all so earthy and manly at the same time.

the back of the patterned paper is the wood grain brown i used for the die cut (from the suburbia cricut cartridge) and both are swell. (that wood grain is almost real, :D)

i believe using the wood and cork elements gave this card some pizzaz to this manly card.

the wooden ruler is from maya road and the cork arrow is from fancy pants (all included in the monthly kit-     see here).

the stickers (it's dapper man) are from the 12 x 12 alpha and stickers sheet from the dapper man collection (also included in the kit).

i also added a plain stitch to frame and encase it all and here is my project for today:

  "Dapper Man"

-lol-

hope you enjoy your visit here and that you found some inspiration using the contents of this month's card kit.

thank you so much for stopping by!

HI WORLD! my first post for nani ke ola

hello all, this is agnes and,

i am so thrilled to be here with my first project for

nani ke ola

(life is beautiful)

 using the fabulous finley collection from glitz designs.

i enjoy making cards among other paper crafts projects and a card is what i am sharing with you today in this my first post here.

hi world

i immediately fell in love with this finley collection when i saw it here at nani ke ola. the colors and images were just right up my alley way.

Glitz described this collection as: “full of whimsy” and i can’t agree more.

the name of the  double sided paper i used is called neon. in my card you can see both sides.

i also used the “alphabets and words” stickers for my sentiment: hi world. i found some enamel dots in my stash of goodies and i decided they gave the center of the flowers a bit more personality.

lately, i am loving to add some kind of stitching on my cards and i added some of it to this card too.

here you can see another “pose” of the same card. actually, this is the way i rather show them to you:  a bit sideways (just like me), lol.

i can’t forget the gorgeous die cut flower. i love flowers hence my online name of flowerdisco. this flower comes in the “what nots” package from the same finley collection.   another info i want to add is that the title for my post was inspired by a finley sticker (here, the round yellow/green one).

and this is it for today.

i hope you enjoy my project.

all the supplies i used i found here at

nani ke ola scrapbooking

thanks for visiting!

A MINUTE OF SILENCE TO REMEMBER AND HONOR

SEPT 11

PHOTO CREDIT

I WILL BE BACK WITH MY FIRST POST  FOR NANI KE OLA THIS AFTERNOON EST.

TODAY, TOMORROW AND SOMEDAY...my garden will grow

what a title for my post today, right? hehe

but we have been working so hard this summer for my little dream garden, all i wish is "today, tomorrow or someday" it will grow into a beautiful one <3.

anyway, this month's artful delight card kit is as fantastic as all the previous ones. it is so great to have a bit of everything all in one yummylicious monthly package. i can't hardly wait for the next one.

(i made another short video, to share the contents of it all. you can see close and personal what is in it. i know artful delight has a photo and description but i like to show it to you this way. i do not know if you care or not but it will be at the bottom of this post).

Today, Tomorrow & Someday

3.75" x 5"

the sentiment is from pink paislee's "portfolio" collection. it could not have been more fitting. 

love, love, love the yellow chipboard flowers from my mind's eye charm/carefree collection. i am totally in love with them. and you will love that mini burlap pocket...awesome!

 i needed to show off that baby too and i decided to mount it on some foam tape.. :)

the chipboard hearts are from the same carefree collection and they represent my love for gardening and nature.

a bit of distressing because well, it is not easy work,...ask my hubby (hehe)

a bit of jute wraps it all together and there you have it: a flower garden in a pocketful of love..oh my...i am super silly today. lol. 

you know it is almost fall, son is back in college, house feels empty and i have to make the best of it all. so excuse my silliness. :D

a very meaningful and whimsical card, in my opinion.

(hope you like it)

almost forgot to add that the dark yellow base of the card is a bazzill cardstock and the patterned paper is authentique's (strong collection). (senior moment there, hehe)

remember artful delight's monthly challenge for a chance to win one of the kits. they always are so much fun.

psss!!!!       here is the mini video showing the contents of the card kit.

thanks so much for stopping by
and,
-have a great week-
