MY PINK STAMPER NOVEMBER RELEASES WHOLE PROJECT SNEAK PEEK

sunday

i am at home listening to the word of God on the radio since i do not go to church any longer.

then, i have miss LULU at my knees wanting MORE ATTENTION...if that is possible :D---she is scratching my leg and pushing me so i pick her up and play...oh my! and did i tell you she follows me every where and i mean every where. i move, she moves. i turn around and she is right there with me turning around too. i read somewhere pugs CRAVE human attention.  Lulu has that craving plus more cravings:  food and some expensive jerky treats. 

she is a pig PUG indeed, lol---

BUT, i love her so-so-so much.

i also have to do laundry and cleaning today, but i am going to wait on it for a bit. instead, i decided to work on this mini card from the LUNCHBOX THOUGHTS from MY PINK STAMPER NOVEMBER RELEASE. i am telling you this again and is not because i am on her design team but this release is another HUGE one. some of them have so many stamps in one set and,  practically for pennies. did i say pennies? what are pennies?, lol...well, i should say a few bucks worth every penny. and they are so super cute and for all type of occasions.

i made today this pug pig (*&*) today to share with you another sentiment of the LUNCHBOX THOUGHTS clear stamp set and it has its own mini envelope too.

Hugs & Kisses

the piggie is from paper dolls for everyday cut at 2.53" x 2.02" (according to the gypsy). the square where the pig is welded with a small tab are from dear george and basic shapes.

a few more pics of LULU, hehe...i mean the piggie from paper dolls, lol

here is part of the envelope from the wild card cut at 6.6" x 5.28" (real size dial) to fit the mini card.

MY PINK STAMPER

because you never know what she has up her sleeve---wink-wink.

PUSH THE BUTTONS WITH THE CUTTLEBUG SPOT WEEKLY CHALLENGE

yes, i am super late with my project for TheCuttlebug Spot. so late i told nilda she did not have to add it if she did not want to. 

the weekly challenge is to use buttons on your project.

i made a big tag.

Enjoy

5.5" tall

(i need to trim that upper left corner a bit--it is bugging me).

anyway, this tag started being a card, of course, lol. but by the time i finished it did not look like a card but a tag. so, i cut the other half and made it into what i guess it was supposed to be...a tag.

the base is from "just because cards", image#34 

using shift and adjusting the width with the gypsy to a 3.25.

i cut that shape three different sizes as you can see to add the layers to the tag.. the embossing was done with a sizzix folder called "snowballs" using my cuttlebug. i also used the "divine swirls" cuttlebug folder for the clouds from "paper dolls for everyday", image#15 using the accesories3 creative feature. the butterfly it is from the same cart-- image#3 using shift and accesories3.

here is the so very cute snail and the HUGE BUTTON from my vintage buttons box. the snail is from "creative a critter", image#44 flipped to the right. 

as you can see i finally got me some more hemp. i love using that stuff. now i have to get some ms twine.

i tried using the zip dry glue to adhere the button but it did not work at all so i used my trusty glue gun.

the stamp is from a my pink stampers set called "everyday life" you can see more of the sentiments and of her stamps if you click HERE.

well, i hope you join us at the cuttlebug spot weekly challenge and get those nice buttons out and play along. or just stop to see what my very creative team mates worked their butt-ons up to, hehe.

love you all!

WAY COOL

 i made this cute card for a little girl...her name is juliana.

Way Cool

standard A2 size 

(4.25x5.5")

the base card is from sentimentals. i did not know this cartridge had a file folder shaped card in it. cool! it is image #49 and all i did was use the hide contour in my gypsy and hid some marks.

i also used paper dolls for everyday for the girl. her hair is image#8 using the "headwear" creative feature. her outfit is image#45 using shift and accesories1. the sandals are image#20.

the chipboard heart is from k&co, nail polish are stickles :P. the face is from peachy keen stamps.

 juliana are alpha rub-ons i had in my stash

 the sentiment above is from my pink stamper clear stamps, the "spanish sayings" collection.

i have hardly used the paper dolls carts and you can find so many images there it makes you feel you do not need any other cart...hehe!!!! yeah right? we are addicted to them...i know i am. i am in a budget right now and my wish list is getting longer and longer. i will need to make a loan to get caught up, lol.

this is it for now...and please, do not get disappointed in me. the finished album is coming this week. i know you understand but i still feel bad. i haven't forgotten...just want you to know that.

love you all!

oh...we had a great time at mom's b-day party. we really took her by surprise and she got all emotional. she loved my cards...they all did, but hmmm! they are my fans..hehe.

enjoy the weather!

THE POWER OF WOMEN

Hello to ALL

(I am finally back. It has been very busy here at home 

with my son's activities and we are not even halfway with his band season.)

I am very happy to introduce my first project for The Cuttlebug Spot. The theme is "The Power of Women" and since is October and it is National Breast Cancer Awareness month we were supposed to make a project having this in mind. 

This is my project and I am calling it:

 October Sweet Spells

 

The photos do not do justice of how pretty this card is.

Since we also celebrate Halloween this month I thought to add some Halloween icons to my project for a reason. If you read the whole description (you do not have too :)) you will see why I decided to name my card, "October Sweet Spells", and why I added the pretty sweet witch.

My base for the card came from Just Because Cards and I used kraft cardstock for it. I then cut the same shape, a bit smaller,  in purple cardstock for the front of the card. I used my cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots to emboss it. I also used my reliable and easy to use Cuttlebug for the job.

  The pumpkins are from Paper Dolls for Everyday cartridge . The sizes vary from 3 inches to 2 inches high. I cut the pumpkins 4 different times since this cart does not have a shadow feature. The pumpkins base was cut using cardstock and using the hide contour. I wanted them to be a bit sturdier. The rest were done on patterned paper: green for the leaves, and two different kind of pink papers.

 I used the pretty witch from Mini Monsters. I know most of us has wished sometimes to have some kind of power over situations we can not control. If we could make spells I am sure we would find not just the cure for breast cancer but for so many other ailments that affect some of us. This is just my fantasy because we have God with his mighty power for this, but I know I have thought about it at least more than once in my lifetime.

I used PK stamps for the witch's face, a rhinestone on a small paper flower and Glossy Accents on her front button. It is hard for to see but I also gave her sparkly fingernails and sparkly legs with a green glitter marker. 

Now, how cute is that? 

wink-wink.

I also used the same green glitter marker for the pumpkin stems. It gives them such a soft and fine glitter accent. I am loving these glitter markers and they are so easy to use.

Can you see the glossy accent on these punched out bats? 

So pretty!

These tiny bats are the scraps of a Halloween paper punch. Isn't it a neat idea? 

and they added that "bit more" to the card.

 This is the inside of the card.

I hope you like my project and 

if you did not go yet for your mammo, please do so.

Love you all!!!

and I will have another Cuttlebug project to share with you every Monday from now on until my term with Nilda expires. 

Please, come back because she has planned a very nice schedule for us.

Do not forget to visit The Cuttlebug Spot to see the rest of the designers AWESOME projects.

SNAIL MAIL CARD

It's me again!

I wanted to share this card I made for an online friend.

I made this card using the Sentimental Cricut cartridge and one of the Joy's Life Lots of Pun stamp set. When I couldn't be her designer she still sent me a set of her new stamps and just now I got to use them.  I wanted to share the card I made and the stamp I used from her set. It was very thoughtful of her and I appreciate her kindness.

Snail Mail

5 inches

You can find the card base/shape on page #35 on the card feature. 

The polka dot paper was cut at 4-1/2 inches using the same card feature.

The snail was cut at 2 inches and its shadow came out to be at 2.06 inches.

You can find the snail on page #47. I used foam adhesive to pop up the snail layer.

.

The umbrella is from Everyday Paper Dolls and you can find it on page #41 (accesories2). As you can see I dry embossed the umbrella using the Cuttlebug and a Cuttlebug folder called Swiss Dots. I also added some doodling.

The clouds are also from Everyday Paper Dolls from page #42 and I cut them at 1.79 and 1.99 inches. I stickled them with the Frosted Lace Stickles I received from Helen.

The butterfly is also from the Sentimentals cart and you find it on page 46. I used the shadow image and I made the small circles with my Crop-a-Dile. I also doodled on it this time with white ink.

I added some rub-on flowers to the grass I punched out with a Martha Stewart paper punch. Before I adhered the grass to the card I used the sentiment

Snail Mail

from Joy's

Lots of Pun clear stamp set.

A beautiful card for a beautiful friend,

Thank You Joy!

GOOD LUCK DOOR DECOR/SHAMROCK

What do you think?

I absolutely love it.

 

 

 

  

I used the shamrock from the Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge and cut the base on chipboard at 11.25"

Then I cut a MS cardstock the same size to have a sturdier base.

The second layer was cut at 10.25"

and the third was cut at 9.25"

The patterned papers are from MME the Bohemia Collection.

The font is from Ashlyn's Alphabet Cricut Cartridge at 2.5" with a shadow. The upper layer was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and everything was inked and 2 shamrocks were popped-up.

The ribbon is a wired ribbon I purchased at Walmart.

I hung it on my front door.

Enjoy! Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
