Libélula

I made this card using a dragonfly stamp and a swirl stamp, black Stazon, perfect pearls, a handwritten sentiment, nestabilities, a circle punch and permanent pens.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Blanca

I made this card using strips of textured paper in white and green, leave punch, PVA glue, lilac and purple cardstock, permanent pen, nestabilities and a white cards blank.
Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

Mariposa

My first go at making a tri-fold card and I have to say I'm quite pleased. I also hand-stitched the butterfly using a pricking brass template and embroidery thread. I used  cream card stock which I distress using walnut ink, free papers, vellum, flower die -cuts, nestabilities, pearlescent card, stamped sentiment, ribbon and brads.

The last of the ATCs

I made these a little while ago and finally get round to post them. As usual I used lots of bits & bobs I keep from larger projects like cards. I used free papers; scrapbooking papers, nestabilities, punched & die-cut flowers from a recycled gift card for the 1st ATC. The flowers turned out really sturdy - as good as chipboard ones and I was able to attach a few bead accents in the middle. The blue one actually uses the "negative" (left over) of a punched flower under a bright blue background. I added a couple of buttons in the centre.

Hice estas ATCs hace un tiempo y finalmente los publico aqui. Como es de costumbre use los poquitos y pedazitos que guardo de proyectos de tarjetería mas grandes. Usé papeles que vinieron gratis, papeles para scrapbooking, los cortadores de paneles ondeados nestabilities, flores cortadas con un perforador de presión y de rodillo que fueron recicladas de una tarjeta de obsequio en la 1era ATC. Las flores salieron bien robustas - tan buenas como las de chipboard y pude sujetar unas cuentas para acentuar los centros. La azul en verdad usa el "negativo" (lo que quedo)de una flor perforada que esta debajo de un fondo azul brillante. Yo le puse un par de botones en el centro.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un dia genial!

Red Melody

I did more paper piecing for this card as well as adding a few beads, bells and green snowflake. I also used a round metallic tag, X cut templates and nestabilities to cut the mats. The greeting came from another card and I embellished it using permanent and gel pens.

Hice el fondo de esta tarjeta usando pedazitos de papel asi como unas cuantas cuentas, campanitas y una hojuela de nieve verde. Tambien usé una etiqueta redonda metálica, moldes de X cut y nestabilities para cortas las capas redondas. El saludito vino de otra tarjeta  y lo adorné con lapiceros de gel y permanentes.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un buen día!

Travieso

Another traditional Christmas card featuring an circle aperture and dangling snowman from a tiny piece of chain. I also used paper glaze to give the snowman a 3D effect and gems on the tree for extra sparkle.

Arbolito 2

A good thing about making your own cards is that you can always use the small pieces of paper left over from other projects to create your own unique background. On this card featured I made a small paper-pieced background using my tiny left-over papers, some glue and cardstock which then I die-cut using Nestabilities.
I also created my main background using slightly larger pieces of paper and card.
The interesting thing about this card is that looks like I used a gold peel-off greeting but actually the greeting was the "negative" of a silver peel-off (what's left when you remove it) that I colour with a permanent brown pen and applied it to gold mirror card.
I added a few gems to accent the baubles on the tree and foam pads for a 3D effect. Some of them were coloured with permanent pens too to match the traditional theme of this card.
Thanks for stopping by and have fantastic Monday!

Una buena razón para hacer tus propias tarjetas es que siempre podras usar esos pedacitos de papel que quedan de otros proyectos para crear un fondo único. En esta tarjeta podran apreciar el fondo que hice con los pedacitos de papel, goma y cartulina que luego corté usando Nestabilities. Tambien hice mi fondo principal usando pedazos de papel y cartulina ligeramente mas grandes.
Lo interesante de esta tarjeta es que use el "negativo" de los peel-offs (lo que queda cuando se remueve la pegatina) coloreandolo con un plumón permanente marrón que luego lo apliqué a una cartulina dorada brillante.
Al arbolito le puse unas gemas para acentuar las bolitas navideñas y tambien use foamis para crear el efecto 3D. Algunas gemas las coloreé con plumones permanentes para que vayan a juego con el tema tradicional de esta tarjeta.
Gracias por sus visitas y que tengan un lunes fantástico!

Flying Santa

Another Christmas card for this year. It's incredible how far little pieces of paper can go and this time I used them to create a funky background. I also used a die-cut Santa which I enhanced using 3D glaze on it,  foam pads and cut circles with Nestabilities. I also used a clear dome sticker and recycled greeting from another card that I customized with permanent and gel pens.
Have a great Tuesday and thank you for your visit!

Otra tarjeta de Navidad para este año. Es increible cuanto pueden durar y alcanzar esos pedazitos de papel que siempre sobran de otros proyectos y esta vez hice un fondo moderno con ellos. Tambien use un Papá Noel pre-cortado y le puse glaze tridimensional, foamis y circulos cortados con Nestabilities. Tambien use una pegatina redonda transparente y un saludito reciclado de otra tarjeta que lo personalisé con lapiceros indelebles y de gel.
Que tengan un martes genial y gracias por sus visitas!
