THINKING OF YOU...

hello all,

"thinking of you" is the last card using my sweet august artful delight card kit.

as always it was packed with so many pretty papers, embellishments and a darling stamp set.

i can't wait to have the september one. i bet it will be as fabulous as the rest of them. the ladies who are in charge do a great job putting the kits together. i have love every single one and i have been able to work with different brands i normally do not find locally.

Thinking of You

4.25 x 5.5"

(i haven't make this size of card in a while-:)

for this card i used fancy pants patterned papers and chipboard stars. there is a thin strip of patterned paper that is from crate paper (the 4th one from the top).

 the tag is a die cut but it was just a bit short of what i wanted so i added a bit of the same crate paper i used for the thin strip and joined it with the supper pretty washi tape from queen & co. you will see it better in the pic below.

the green banners were stamped using two of the jillibean soup stamps and the "thinking of you" sentiment skinny banner is from pebbles.

on this pic you can see the strip that was added to the bottom of the tag with the washi tape.

  i know is a very busy card but all came together so well. i am so happy with the cluster of elements on the tag complimenting the pattern paper with the cameras, the stars and the film strip. we even see a little piece of heaven (first top strip of blue paper)...hehe.

hope you enjoy my card for today.

on another note, if you did not have time to join in our monthly challenge, mark it on your calendar for this coming month of september. the winner receives a kit of their choice: card or scrapbooking.

-thank you so much for stopping by the hut-

ENJOY!...with a bit of washi

haha,

a bit of washi tape on the top right corner and above the pretty flower is all this card needed to have my approval, lol

i even sew a double stitch with my sewing machine and at the end..the super cool and trendy film washi tape did the job...in my opinion that it, wink!!!

Enjoy!

using my artful delight super awesome kit.

the base is the most beautiful robin eggs blue from bazzill and the fancy pants memories captured patterned papers give this cool card lots of personality. i am loving the chevron colors and the circles and stars.
the so pretty flower and the chalkboard sticker and the addition of the bit of washi were the perfect embellishments too. i loved making this card too. i love when all comes in together so well without fuzzing much, haha. i wish...this card started in a very different way and after stamping, embossing, stapling... and starting all over again....it turned out to be a whole different story at the end, lol. but then, i do fuzz a lot over everything and it is getting worse as i age, ;p

anyway, if you want to hop over the artful delight blog and join us in our monthly challenge (scrapbooking or cards) you might be the lucky one to win a kit. here is the link to the info you need to participate and link your project.

pretty, pretty card. 

once again this is it for today, :p

i hope you have a great week and thank you for stopping by the hut.

SMILE, is a picture perfect card

using the fab card kit for the month of august from 

artful delight,

plus a short video (below) showing you the contents of this card kit.

Picture Perfect

4" x 5"

-(all paper and embellishments used on my card are from the kit)-

from the pier collection (crate paper) i used the "poolside" patterned paper and pinwheel. the "picture perfect" flair badge and the decorative bag  are from the "memories captured" collection from fancy pants.

for the beige border (made using a fiskars punch) i used the other side of the "poolside" paper. 

the so super cute "film strip" is a washi tape from queen & co and the sentiment is one of the "chalkboard stickers" from pebbles "lake side" collection.

i also added my so loved sewing touch to the card.

this is what i am thinking of when i look at this card:

"a summer vacation"

(the poolside paper reminds me of the ocean, the border reminds me of the sand, the film strip of all the pictures taken at the beach, the pinwheel swirling with the ocean breeze, the bag holding the pretty sea shells and the "smile" sticker is for my big imagination here, lol).

i had a blast making this fun card.

this is a pic of the kit

have a great week!

HI...a card made using my fab may kit from artful delight

i told you before how happy i am with the may kit received from artful delight

and here is another cute card i made with it.

Hi

6" x 3.5"

all the card supplies are from the kit

(i punched out the leaves with a paper punch but the paper used for the leaves is from the kit too)

i added some foam tape to the grey medallion for dimension and hand cut the white, the pink strips into a banner and the white with pink letter are two flags from a banner that comes with the kit. they broke on me so i used them on top for even more dimension.

love the colors in this kit

i can see my style going in a total opposite direction of what i am used to do. when you buy the kits all is there, already combined for you and it makes it so much easier and it inspires you to create in a way you never thought you could do. 

this is my experience and my opinion; we are all different.

but, i am so happy with my card.

delight yourself!

A PUMPKIN SPICE BLOG CHALLENGE: time (word or element that implies time)

i am a bit late making my project for this week's challenge at the pumpkin spice blog (it is not mandatory but i like to participate---soon i will post a video from the goodies i won this past february, yay!)

i received this paper pad from the shop. it is from simple stories and is called "snap life" and look what i made. this is just a photo printed on plain copy paper for now, but this project life is a good thing. who know? i might leave it like it is because i like the grainy look on it.

Where did the time go?

3" x 4"

---project life style---

this is a photo of my son when younger. he used to love to go to a place called "chucky cheese" and we would go every weekend for him to play.

the clock is "from the record 2" by echo park. the little chipboard heart is from crate paper (fourteen collection)  and the washi tape is from darice.. i printed the "where did the time go" right on the photo and outlined the clock with a marvy marker.

and this is my sweet project for today showing my sweet and handsome baby who is now 20 years old.
where did the time go?

*-*'

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY CARD...using digital images

welcome to another 

"Happy St. Patrick's day"

and of course, we are to create a project including something to do with this so popular irish holiday. 

 first, i want to thank our sponsor for this week's challenge

"MIRIAM'S CRAFTING SUPPLIES"

miriam will be donating TEN sets of pearls to a lucky participant

-----NOT ONE, NOT TWO BUT TEN SETS OF PEARLS--wohoo!---

thanks miriam, thank you so much for your kindness!!!

now, is my take on this week's challenge...this card was such a pleasure to make. 

i was inspired by a layout i saw online and being me, i had to twist it to my liking and purposes and, make it a flowerdisco's one, hehe

Be Unique, Be Unforgettable, Be you

You are a Super Star

5" x 7"

i played with a variety of techniques on this card: stamped background, machine stitches, washi tape, mixed inks for "Be Unique, Be Unforgettable, Be you"...a whimsical designs stamps sentiment. and since we do not see the mix of inks often, to me it shows well the meaning of the sentiment i chose. 

note: one of the "be" is missing on the pennant sentiment...i know. i had to leave it behind in the stamping  process. 

i added a few more cute details to this card to add even more fun. check them out below.

the tiny circles are representing the gold from the legendary irish legend. they are the negatives of a border punch. 

i also had fun choosing the brilliant colors. they remind me of the rainbow colors.

the washi tape on the top left and bottom corners, were plain ones but after being stamped with a yellow dye ink, they are not plain anymore :--)...i also added some chevron lines and i had to add a star sticker because "You are a Super Star" (my other used sentiment from whimsical designs).

i used foam dots to raise the diamond patterned paper from its base.

and at last, i show you the entire card.

the piggy with the so pretty clover is a new digital image in my collection. i used paint, a computer program, to add buckets of color to the most pretty hog girl in the whole-wide world.

the purple stamp shaped frame is from a die i own.

so what do you think? 

---i think is super cute and it was definitely a delight to make---

why don't you leave me a comment for a chance to win a goodie bag?..

i would love if you become a follower but i do not require it at this time.

this was so much fun  a st. patrick's day challenge and remember, miriam --- our sponsor for this week---, is giving away ten sets of pearls. you can use them in any of your project and maybe even share some with your darling friends.

you will also get some HUGE inspiration, since my team mates are a group of very talented ladies.

LUCKY GIRL... a digital image from our latest release

 hola muchachas,

i have been practicing the coloring and bits by bits i am getting there. this week acm has the spectrum noirs on sale 50% off and i went i got some :D

so far, i can see they blend well on my watercolor paper from strathmore but i definitely need to learn how to shade, lol. the hair on my lucky girl was not that lucky, lmbo.

 this lucky girl is from the newest release at SK DIGIS and i chose her to my practice with the spectrum noirs since the dress needed a bit more coloring than what i am used to.

Lucky Girl

( i might make a tag from it)

2.75" wide x 4" tall

---you do know how much i love bright, rich colors but i must use softer hues for my coloring until i learn this coloring business (if i ever do)---, i believe it simplifies the trauma, lol

lucky girl has glassy eyes (done with glossy accents) because she did not sleep well last night, she came back from the oscars really-really late. hehe

 another view  to see the stickles and, the snapshot (polaroid) frame with the stamped background and, a close view of the hair, lol....you can see i need lots of practice in the shadowing department, hehe.

and on this last pic (you can not see it because it is white) but i used washi tape, and i stamped on it the shamrocks and sentiment. i did not want to stamp right on the frame just in case i had trouble but i did not. i used a dye ink for it and it did not smear. actually, i like it a lot...it was not my intention to have it transparent, but it worked. i really like how my lucky girl turned out despite the blotchy hair :D

Supplies Used:

digital image:     sk digis (lucky girl)

patterned paper:     dear lizzy (neopolitan)

white cardstock:     georgia pacific

background stamp:     unity stamps (jars of love 3)

sentiment and shamrocks:     g-studio clear stamp

inks:     g-studio (yellow); versafine (black); clearsnap/ancient page (pine)

markers:     spectrum noir

cricut cartridge:      any cartridge with a rectangle will work. i used my gypsy to position one rectangle inside the other with the measurements i needed for my project. 

so happy you stopped by to see my project. 

we have our weekly challenge going on at sk digis and if you want to participate, you can click here for all the details.

see you on wednesday!
