WEDDING FAVOUR

Here's my first try at making wedding favours. I used some organza fabric cut in a circle to wrap the almonds inside. I tied it with elastic thread and made a red rose for the top as you can see on the 2nd picture.

Aqui podran apreciar mi primer intento en hacer recuerditos de bodas. Usé una tela de organza cortada en círculo para envolver las almendras que estan dentro. Luego lo amarré con hilo elastico e hice una rosa para ponerla en la parte superior asi como podran ver en la 2da foto.

SIMPLE MOTHER'S DAY CARD

This a a simple not very expensive card. I used wrapping paper for the background, stamped the "Happy Mother's Day" on piece of white card and coloured it with felt tip pens. I also used silver mirror card, organza ribbon to the spine of the card and stickers to embellish it.

DRAGONFLY

Here's a simple card made with a large dragonfly peel-off stuck on a piece of fabric. To accent it I sewed some beads on all the dragonfly and stuck the fabric using double- sided tape. I added glitter glue on all the edges of the fabric so it won't fray.

Aqui podran apreciar una tarjeta simple que hice con una pegatina de caballín grande pegasa en un pedazo de tela. Para darle mas enfasis pegé unas perlitas en todo el caballín y pegé la tela usando cinta pegatina doble. Le agregé goma con purpurina a todos los bordes para que la tela no se abra.

SUMMER BIRTHDAY

This is a page of my last birthday in Peru at my parent's house. I used Papermania Colossal papers and free papers that came with Papercraft Essentials magazine. I made the "25 th Birthday" phrase by sewing beads to a fabric swatch. I also used buttons and diamond sequins on 2 photos and plastic embellisments from craftime.

Esta es una pagina de mi último cumpleaños en Perú en casa de mis papás. Usé papeles de Papermania de la coleción Colossal y papeles que vienieron gratis con la revista Papercraft Essentials. Todo la frase "cumpleaños 25" la hice cosiendo mostazillas en una muestra de tela. Tambié usé botones, lentejuelas en forma de diamante en 2 de las fotos y adornitos de plástico de Craftime.

SIMPLY QUILLED FLOWER

This is the birthday card I made for Mum to ago along with the Bracelet
I made for her.
I made flower by coiling 6 strips of orange paper and 1 brown for the center. I embossed a cream cardstock for the background with a Cuttlebug Embossing folder and chalked it. The final accent was a piece of ribbon tied to the card.

Esta es la tarjeta de cumpleaños que hice para mi Mami para que vaya junto con el Brazalete que hice para ella.
Hice la flor con 6 volutas sueltas y una marrón para el centro(filigrana. La cartulina crema la puse en alto relieve usando uno de los folders de Cuttlebug y luego le puse tizas. El detalle final fue un pedazo de cinta amarrado en la tarjeta.

LA ISLA AZUL

In this layout I used some pictures that I took on a trip to Cajamarca in the Peruvian Highlands. I embossed some pieces of cream cardstock using a Cuttlebug folder and cut the frames using the X cut cutter and rectangle template. I added some sequins butterflies and stitched part of the title and made the rest with chipboard letters.

En esta pagina usé unas fotos que tomé cuando estuve de viaje en Cajamarcan en la sierra Peruana. Pusé en alto relieve pedazos de cartulina crema usando uno de los folder de Cuttlebug y corté los marcos usando el cortador de X cut y los moldes de rectangulo. Le agregé algunas lentejuelas en forma de mariposa y cosí parte del titulo y el resto lo hice con letras de chipboard (cartón grueso).

BAGS OF LOVE

A gift bag for St. Valentine's I made with 20 gauge silver wire, assorted beads and 28 gauge red wire. I attached the heart using brads and added a silk flower

EASTER RABBIT

Another project for Easter. I decorated the pot with buttons and die-cuts. To make the plants I put some silk flowers on wooden sticks and made the rabbit with pom-poms

Este es otro proyecto para la Pascua. Decoré el macetero con botones y die-cuts. Para hacer las plantas usé flores de seda en palitos de helado de madera e hice el conejo con pompones.

EASTER CHICKS

Here's an Easter project I made lately. It's a nest with 2 chicks and 2 eggs. I made the nest from cream cardstock (7 cm wide) cut it strips leaving a 2 cm for the bottom and curled them with a quilling tool. I made the chicks using 2 yellow pom-poms. I quilled the beak and wings and stuck wiggly eyes. I hung the nest with the chicks using nylon on the clear bauble. Finally I used a peel-off border on the surface of the bauble and added a little yellow bow.

Aqui prodran apreciar un proyecto que hice para la Pascua recientemente. Es un nido con 2 pollitos y 2 huevitos. Hice el nido de cartulina color crema (de 7cm de ancho) la corté en tiras dejando 2 centimetros en la base y rizé las tiras con la herramienta para hacer filigrana. Hice los pollitos usando 2 pompones amarillos. El pico y las alas los hice de filigrana y le pege los ojitos movibles. Colgé el nido con los pollitos usando nylon en la la burbuja transparente.

GLITTERATI FUSIBLE SHEETS & FILAMENTS

Flying Butterflies


Pink Heart


Sparkly Love


Flowers for Mum


Simply Thank you


Fusible sheets and Filaments


I tried these products on my cards for the 1st time and like the results. The Glitterati Fusible Sheets are like a thin plastic in which you can stamp using Stazon and hot iron (not steam) and the same process is used with the filaments which look a little bit like fibres.
You ink your stamp with Stazon then put a pieces of the fusible sheets or filament; add a piece of grease proof paper on top and finally put a hot iron on top and press it for a little while. You'll know your image is ready when you can see it showing through the greaseproof paper. You can use it as a accent on a stamped imaged or used it on layers like I did on the Flying Butterflies and Pink Heart cards

MY CAT HOT PAWS

Thought you might like to see my cat Hot Paws having a play on my craft table this morning. She loves sitting on my craft table and have a look at my crafty goodies.

FABULOUS DRESS

I made this card for my sister. Since she loves dress making I used this dress stamp from See D's and color it with permanent pens and embossed it with clear embossing powder 4 time to create a glazed effect. I wrapped some seed beads on the stamped image and added some stickers and peel-offs.

QUILLED HEART

I made this card using the thin quilling papers. I also made some fringed mulberry flowers and roses from organza ribbon. I colored a gold peel-off with the whispers permanent pen and and used some alphabet that came free with a magazine a while ago. I matted and layered with mirror silver card, purple and white. Finally I added some beads to one side in different colors of pinks, lilacs and clear.

PIMENTEL PARK

I've just finished this layout. I made it using K&Co Papers again and some of my favorite photos of me the time I went to Pimentel (Peru) on the 1st of January.
I also used beads and sequins to accent borders of the pictures and hand stitched the title with buggle beads.

TINTO & PARRILLA

WIRE WORD CLOSE-UP


WIRE EMBELLISHMENT


TAG CLOSE-UP


I used K & Co papers for this layout. I made the title of this page myself using 24 gauge wire, round nose pliers and a few beads. I used ribbon behind the wire words (Tinto & Parrilla was the name of the restaurant) This is my first try at making wire words. I also make the wire border which is to one side of the picture; I used 28 wire for this so it will be very easy to bend and make some Macramé knots with it. I also used beads for a extra sparkle and attached it to the page with brads. Finally I added a chipboard tag, faux stitches on it with a pen and a little bit of doodling.

Para este layout usé papeles de K & Co. Hice el titulo de esta pagina yo misma usando alambre delgado de 24 gauge (0.5 mm, tenazas con puntas redondeadas y unas perlitas. Usé cinta detras de estas letras (tinto y Parrilla es el nombre del restaurant) Esta fue mi primera vez haciendo palabras con alambre. Tambien hice el borde de alambre que esta a un lado de la foto; Use alambre de 28 gauge (0.3 mm) para que asi sea mas facil doblarlo y hacer los nudos de Macramé. Tambien usé unas perlitas para darle brillo extra y lo puse en la pagina usando brads. Finalmente le agregé una etiqueta de carton, costuras falsas que hice con plumón punta fina y un poquito de doodling.

LIGHT-BLUE WATCH

This my latest creation. I bought the watch face at my local craft shop and used tiger tail thread to make the handles. I also used some light-blue glass bead and a few Macramé knots. I'm really pleased with the result.

FLORAL THANK YOU

Another card featuring more paper roses and flowers. I used the Xcut cutter and square rectangle template to cut the carstock for matting and layering. I also used some ribbon and some cellophane I kept from some flowers my husband brought me a while ago. The "thank you" was stamped using the Whispers pens. I colored directly to the stamp using orange and brown tones and then stamped on the cardstock.

Tambien use algo de cinta y celofán que guarde de las flores que mi esposo me trajo hace un tiempo. El "thank you" lo estampé usando los Whispers pens. Coloreé el sello directamente usando tonos naranja y marrón y luego estampé la cartulina.
