Quick cards...

This is such a quick way to make a card. Using patterned paper that has text on it an reinforce with an embellishment.  Get the most out of your paper and think outside the...paper. LOL!

Look at this CAS card. I just made the heart glittery beautiful. The text is part of the paper. 

What about this one to which I just added the bear?  Isn't it an awesome simple card?

We can made beautiful cards or projects using the paper as is.  After all great designers made these papers just for us.

Girl's best friend

Made this card for my stash. Love the sentiment about the diamonds and dogs analogy. So true. LOL!

I Stamped the girl and colored in white cardstock. Also stamped the sentiment and a jewel image to which I applied glitter. 

I distressed the upper edge by hand. 

As a unique final touch I applied sparkling glitter in the upper edge of the base using some glossy accents. And then I painted that remaining edge with watercolor. Some sequins also were added. 

I will share with Unity Show and Tell current challenge.

Feliz Cumpleaños

Una tarjeta para un compañero de trabajo a quien aprecio mucho.  Un joven muy talentoso, con excelente sentido del humor, respetuoso, responsable y muy bien amigo, hijo, esposo y más. 

Quise hacer una tarjeta sencilla que incluyera una de sus pasiones... la música. Así que con un "embossing folder" marqué letras musicales como si fuera un escrito de una canción.   Corté los bordes rasgándolos para distressing. 

En la base de la tarjeta estampé la frase Feliz Cumpleaños. También rocié tinta de color azul. Al colocar el vellum encima estos elementos se notan sutiles y suavizados y contratan con el estampado al frente en el vellum y el lazo con bakers twine. 

En el interior de la tarjeta usé un negativo de un símbolo de música en chipboard para pintar la imagen. Y estampé el mensaje que dice "solo una nota para desearte...".  Es doble mensaje ya que es una "nota" escrita pero también se refiere al tema musical. 

En el trabajo usaremos la tarjeta para que varios compañeros le escribamos un mensaje. Espero le guste. Es simplemente un detallito. 

También espero les haya gustado a ustedes la tarjeta. Gracias por su visita.

I love my bubbles!

A layout honoring the delicious sparkling wines. This photo shows me posing with a glass of cava at a party I attended recently. It has an effect of lights that actually look like the bubbles in the glass.  I thought it was a good idea to feature the love for the sparkling and refreshing delicious bubbles. 

I used CAS (clean and simple) style. With a white cardstock as base I hand cut a design paper to a shape to show two corners.  The paper shows colored circles to resemble the bubbles.  With some gesso I made a space for the photo to which I painted some damask with stencil. Same images painted in the right bottom corner of white cardstock. 

Title is a combination of chipboard letters and a die cut heart. 

Journaling is handwritten and cut in strips. I also cut some vellum circles to add some more similitude to the bubbles I want to honor. 

I finally added gold sequins ... same color of my bubbles.  Cheers!

The Rapids Adventure!

I am so excited about this spread layout. Not because I used any special techniques or complicated tools... but precisely the opposite. It is very simple and it provides a great memory of this adventure. I was able to accommodate multiple pictures in a very fun way. 

I cut pieces from a design paper that emulates waves. I cut a big circle and some strips of paper.  I sprayed some color in white cardstock to simulate splash water and then constructed the pages on that. 

The page at left carries the wooden title and a larger photo. 

The page at right has the big paper circle, four photos (one of them distinguished from the other to stand out with frame), and the journaling. 

I used brads, stamps and rub-ons, among other elements to support and embellish the pages.  

This is how they look side by side. Loved the experience of the Rapids in Costa Rica. It's one of those things that you feel awesome about completing. 

Hope you like my pages.

Happy Birthday to a dear funny friend

Hola.  I made this card for a friend having a birthday today.  She's a real coffee lover and she also has learned to love wine (I think she loves coffee more... LOL). 

This sentiment stamp from Unity Stamp Is perfect because it describes how most people feel about these two delicious juices. It's actually how I feel about them too. 

I made the background with a sponge and distress inks. Then, with decorative washi tapes I added a line where I placed the stamped image/sentiment cut out. 

Added festive sequins as final touch. 

In the inside I stamped other related images to reinforce the idea of the coffee-wine relationship. 

Hope she likes it.  Will give it to her this afternoon. 

PD. The irony in all this is.... hush hush... that the bday present is a six pack of artesanal beer!!!  LOL.

It's time for Happy Hour!

Woohoo!

Made this card for my stash. There's always an excuse to celebrate and a card can be very useful. 

I made the color background using distress inks in different tonalities and directly applied them to the cardstock from the pad. If to let it dry as applied, probably would be more noticeable the lines of the ink squares and wouldn't be too attractive... but what I did was that I added / sprayed water and this provided a different look that also blended the colors together. Then dried with heat. I love the final result. 

I sprayed some dots of color around, and then framed the self made background with scallops borders. 

I used two stamps. One at the right upper corner and another one as center of attention. This was embellished with wire and some ink in the borders. 

Sequins as final touch. Of course. 

Hope you like my card.
