Let's Celebrate - Elephant Card

Hey friends.

Happy Friday.

Hope you are doing well.  

I recently made this card for my friend and wanted to share it with you.  

I colored the image with watercolors and added some glossy accents.

I combined a brad with some patterned paper and the image for the festive card.  I also hand-wrote the name "Mine" trying to match the sentiment of the stamp.  Mine is a short name for "Mineluz" who was the recipient of the card.  

Thanks for stopping by.  I invite you to come back next Sunday, Dec 15th, at 8am AST and see what I have for you.  It's a blog hop you will want to be part of... don't miss it next Sunday.

Have a good weekend.

Trick or Treat Witch

Happy Halloween.

Hope you have a creepy day.

Stopped by to share this Halloween card I recently made with love, and was published on Craft Stamper Magazine.  I'm so grateful my work can be displayed in so prestigious magazine and I've been able to collaborate for a while.

This beautiful witch was stamped and arranged in a fancy dark scenario just where she needs to be.  I colored her with watercolor, added glitter and even added some burlap to maker her broom more realistic.

She's here to demonstrate witches can be fun and to wish you a happy day.

Trick or Treat?

Something Cheerful for my day...

Hello my friends.

Hope you are all enjoying life and making things. 

Today's my birthday and I am so grateful to be alive and for all the experiences I've had.

I have to thank God for love, family, friends, and work... well, I love my work even though sometimes it is too much pressure... I hope my heart can keep up LOL!

I'm also grateful for the inspiration, and the opportunity to create.  

And let me just go a little further and be thankful for wine.  :)

I want to share this home decor I made.  I've made a similar one before (HERE).  I used the cardboard corner protectors of a frame.

I sprayed several painting colors and dried, and blended, and dried...

 The colors created some glossy golden and irregular look I just love.

I stamped images and sentiments, and applied embossing powder, and heat embossed.  These provided texture and dimension... So cool.

I then used cutouts, sequins, and different embellishments to finish the decoration in both sides.

I allowed me to be imperfect in some edges playing with the stamps so they continued from one panel to another, and I like the rustic appearance that created.

It's not Christmas yet... but it is my birthday, so I thought I could share something cheerful.  

Have a wonderful day!

:)

GROWING IN UNITY (GIU) DAY 5

Welcome to the last day of the GIU week. It's been so cool to post everyday and read your comments.

Thank you all for your support and love.

In the fifth day I am sharing a card which was also made for Craft Stamper magazine.  I love this card.  I stamped a wood image in several cardstocks of different colors and used embossing powder to stand out.  I then cut different strips of these papers to simulate wood panels.  This is the background you see in the card, to which I also added brads to simulate nails.

I separately stamped and fussy cut the basket with flowers and placed with dimensional adhesives.  

And this is it... this is the final post.  I hope you continue visiting my blog and/or my other contact points in social media.  This is just for fun and hopefully we can continue sharing and inspiring one another.  

Remember to make sure to have commented in all five posts this week.  We will choose 2 winners to get goodies from Unity Stamp Co.   If you also comment in Facebook or Instagram (@Scrapper Myra), you could be the third winner I will choose to give out some small goodies from my side.

Thank you Unity Stamp Co for this great opportunity.  And thank you everybody. :)  Don't forget to be imperfect.

GROWING IN UNITY (GIU) DAY 4

Thursday already?  Wow... Time goes fast.

This is my 4th day as a Growing in Unity Gal.  Hope you are enjoying my creations and that you continue following me afterwards. :)

As a wine lover I had to have another project related to wine... besides the one I shared yesterday.   This time is a card.  I used this beautiful Angie Girl that I wish it was me.  I think I used to look like her when thinner LOL!   Well, the thing we have in common is that she also loves wine.

I stamped the girl and colored, then cut and set aside.

In a card base I stamped the bottles and sentiment.  I then used patterned papers to imperfectly frame it all, leaving the room for the wine girl.

I placed her using dimensional adhesives and added some sequins as final touch (You should know by now I love sequins too).

I hope you like it.  Cheers to her!

Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win with Unity Stamp Co. You should leave comments every day this week in my 5 posts as a Growing in Unity gal.  Make sure you visit all 5 posts (this is number 4 and the final one will be posted tomorrow).  We'll choose two winners.  If you visit my social media pages (@Scrapper Myra) you could also be the third winner that I will choose for a personal token of appreciation with some small goodies from my side.

Be my friend... thank you for your love.

GROWING IN UNITY (GIU) DAY 3

It's the middle of the week already... my Growing in Unity week!  Thank you for stopping by and let me share my creations using Unity Stamp Co.

Remember to stop every day this week and leave a comment, because at the end of the week I will choose to winners to get goodies from Unity Stamp Co.  You can also leave comments in all my social media pages under @Scrapper Myra (Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest), and I will choose a third winner to get some small goodies as a thank you from my side.

Today's is Wine Wednesday and as some of you know I am a wine lover.. a real real wine lover who really thinks wine is heaven and appreciate the work it takes to make it.  Kudos to all winemakers and workers around the world :).

I also think wine is like scrapbooking... they are both to share and not to compete.

I made a mini mini album.  I drawed a shape of a bottle and made a stencil with chipboard, which I replicated in more chipboard and also papers to cover each page.

I added stamps and embellishments, as this sentiment in the cover which is a real truth...  You shall never run out of wine in your home... or don't call it home ... LOL!  

Take a close up look to each page and notice how I also used painting, modeling paste, sequins, and more...  Here are the inside pages featuring wine moments photos and stamps.

All stamps are of course from Unity Stamp Co.  I used stamps from several kits. 

I love this one with the large wine glass.  I added some white dots in the edge and love how it turned out.  And I also love the page at left, with all the painting and great sentiment.

I tied it all together from the bottle necks and a ring.

Hoping you liked my mini mini album as much as I do.

Keep visiting me this week...  Leave comments and thank you for your love.  Cheers!
