Let's Celebrate!

Hello friends. How's your weekend going?  Almost done I know!  Such is life.  Wish I could continue a couple of more days but you know... One has to work.  Hope you celebrated though... And that you had a good time. 

To continue celebrating I made this birthday card that I plan to share in several blog challenges. 

I started with a white base and sprayed some magical colors.  

I separately stamped, colored and cut the image (Unity Stamp Co).  For that I used several medium, from watercolor pencils, to different markers...

Then a final touch with the sentiment and some sequins. 

It's a magical celebration card. Love it. A lovely girl will receive it at her birthday. 

I will share this with:  Curtain Call July Challenge (Celebrate), Addicted to Stamps and More (challenge #151 Anything Goes), Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog (challenge #158 Celebrations), and next Friday Unity Friends with Flair. 

Hope you all like my card. Can't wait to read your comments. 

Moments Like These...

Hello friends and welcome to my blog.  Friday is my favorite day... I guess it is the same from lots of people around the world who work all week and long for the weekend all the time.

Today I am sharing a card .  It is a very simple card, yet it came out really beautiful with every detail.

I used spellbinders to cut a scalloped square, which I distressed.  Then I painted with spray over it and stamped a beautiful sentiment that says "Life is about Moments like these".  Then I separately stamped an image of a bottle and glass of wine and shape cut to include with a patterned paper simulating wood.

I love the message from this card.  There are lots of moments we don't pay attention to and life is full of them... full of little daily miracles that make our life the way it is.  Take time to remember and appreciate the moments... all moments...

Hope you like my card.  I am linking and sharing this with several challenges... as follows:

Masculine Card

Hello my friends.  It is already the mid of the week.  This week is full of work, but I am looking forward to some things.  Thursday I am hoping to get good news from my mom's doc about her surgery recovery. Friday is a short work day since we are working hours ahead from Mon to Thurs so we can enjoy a Summer Fridays. Then on Saturday I am going to a friend's wedding.  Finally Sunday is Father's Day. 

I am sharing this masculine Birthday Card made for two challenges.  

I used a blue cardstock base and placed Kraft over it. Used a patterned paper strip in the middle and aligned two sentiments in two opposite corners with the mustache in the center.  CAS assembly and easy to replicate. 

The two challenges I am entering this card are:

Loves Rubberstamps #156 Masculine

Addicted to Stamps Challenge Blog #148 CAS

I hope you like my card. And thank you for your visit and comments. 

Bright Colors and Dots!

 How's your Sunday going?  Mine is almost over.  Had done a lot of things this weekend...  I was my mom's 75th. birthday last Friday, so we took her to a late lunch/dinner and had a good time.

Then, yesterday, we went "shopping" for color code clothes we'll be wearing next week for a friend's wedding.  I had this feeling to see her before the wedding for a get together, but it hadn't been possible. After we finished shopping we met her as a coincidence and ended up having some coffee and sharing for a while.  God's good.  Then we had another get together with friends at night.  Today, we needed to do some more diligences so we were out all day.  I'm finally home and ready to relax to get ready for another work week tomorrow.

Here's the card I made for my mom.  I actually made another one as a Plan B... and will share it with you within the next days.  But this is the one I oficially gave to her.

I used the Unity Be Inspired Challenge colors as inspiration for the card.  The girl in the image is part of a stamp from Unity Stamp Co.  I cut it to have just her sillohuette.  Notice she has a heart in her hands.  I loved this because my mom recently had a heart surgery so I think this 75th birthday is a double blessing.   I added glossy accent to that heart and it shines.  Then the flowery background behind the girl is another stamp.  I used a Spanish sentiment from Latina Crafter.  The translation goes:  This is your moment to shine! I made sure to include dots somewhere because whe likes them.

Here's the card with chipboard numbers added.   Inside the card it goes "You are strong; Happy Birthday".

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your comments.  Love to read them.  Have a great week.

Music Star card!

Hey friends... 

Made this card a few days ago and wanted to share it with you.

A co-worker's husband turned 60.  He loves music, plays in a band, and his wife asked me for a masculine and simple card to show music theme and the number 60.  For this one I combined a lot of different brands and kind of materials.  Check it out.

I went to a kraft background over blue cardstock mat.  Stamped wood texture and stars (Unity Stamp Co stamps), and combined rub-ons and stickers related to music (DCWV) with the number 60 (Autumn Leaves stamps) and the "happy birthday" phrase (Crafty Secrets stamps).  Also added a wood veneer which I don't really know its brand... sorry!

She told me the husband loved the card and felt it was just made for him.  That's the idea!

I will share this in next Friday's Unity Friends with Flair, and also in current Loves Rubberstamps Blog Challenge - Anything Goes (LRSBC154).

Hoped you liked my card.  If you did, leave me a comment.  Have a great week.

It is ALWAYS about love...

Already celebrating love?  Yeah... It's everyday, I know.  This month, specially, love is relevant... but you know what?  It's all about love.  It really is...  If you think harder, you can notice everything we do or say is linked somehow to love...  and at the end, it's all about it.

This card was made with that sentiment in mind and showing the Unity world stamp, which I literally love!  For me this image, is not only a world with the shape of a heart... but it can mean so many things.  Love for the people, love no matter where you are from, love to our planet, love each other, love being human, love creation, you mean the world to me...  it's all about love...

And this is a CAS card using sprays, stamps, a wood veneer and twine.  Hope you like it and maybe you got some inspiration from it... who knows?  Tks for your visit.

Will be linking this to next Friday's Unity Stamp Co Friends with Flair and also to Addicted to Stamps Challenge Blog for Challenge #131 Anything Goes, and to Love Rubber Stamps Blog Challenge #138 (Show Me Some Red).

One Day at a Time!

Hey there!

For a mom to be at work we are having a get together at lunch.  

I made this card for her. 

Stamps are from Unity Stamp Company. 

I used current Cosmic Strawberry Colours Challenge. I colored the image with copics, watercolor and Stampin' up markers. 

I included a clock and a sentiment with a number, for the Incy Wincy Designs Use a Number Challenge. 

I will also link this up to Loves Rubberstamps Challenge #133 Anything Goes; and to Unity Stamps Co Friday Friends with Flair. 

Tks for stopping by.  Hope you have a great weekend my friends!!!
