Don't Stop Believing! Never!

Not just a song... it's a good thought... Never stop believing...  That's key to achieve goals and dreams...  Don't Stop Believin'.

This "books" image is from Deep Red Stamps and I just love it.  I watercolored and added some glossy accents, then fussy cut and placed with dimensional adhesive.

Sentiment is from a KOM Unity Stamp Co.  Love the font on this one, and the perfect size.

Remember... don't stop.

For the Wine Lover Dad

Do you have a father in your family who's a wine lover?

 

This card is for him.

It's quite simple to replicate and fun to make.

 

 

Die cut your shapes... I cut two different tag sizes and the wine bottle and glass.

 

Combine colors and papers...  I used a card base in beige, then place the distressed blue patterned paper with a trip of a brown with stars one.

 

Place the shapes...   I placed the large tag with the stamped sentiment first, then the small one with the cord, which also has stamped image...   And finally the bottle with the wine glass at the bottom right corner.

 

 

Note I also used some ink in the edges and some cut shapes.  I hope you like my card.

Stand Tall...

Be proud of yourself and your decisions... Some of these decisions will have positive outcomes, while some might not... but still we learn from them and we should stay firm about our feelings and values.

This is why I love this sentiment used for this card.

 

 

 

And this girl sure has a very "show your pride" posture...

 

I used several patterned paper scraps for a background frame and I love the effect of the different colors and designs.

 

Hope you like my card,

Don't trash your scraps...

How's it going?

 

I quickly stopped to show you this simple Father's Day card using scraps.

 

Cut circles with those pieces of papers that are too small to keep but you can't do it because you are a hoarder as me... LOL...

 

Place them in rows in a card base and combine with stamped sentiments for a unique card.

 

 

 

 

I love the result with this one... unique color combination and elegant style.

 

Hope you like it too.

You've captured my heart...

 

Just a quick stop to show a little cute card...

 

Colorful camera framed with several layers...

 

 

 

And some sequins for a nice final detail...

 

Thank you for stopping by. :)

Today is Beautiful...

Hello Saturday... 

 

Let's make a decision today... everything around you is beautiful....  there's beauty in all... make that decision with me... and always find the beauty in all things.

 

 

Just stopped by to say that, show you this card, and wish you a happy Saturday.

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

June Ready!

 

Happy June!

 

Already Fathers' month...  Are you ready with your presents and cards?

 

These are another two cards made for Father's Day... Hope you like them.

 

For the first one I used design paper to come through a circle cut of an embossed cardstock.

 

 

 

I inked the embossed shapes for a distressed look, but leaving it light in color so the patterned paper is the one providing color to stand out.

 

I stamped sentiments in another design paper and hand cut as banners, then placed with dimensional adhesives.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This second one card is very CAS and easy to replicate.  Just use a masculine patterned paper as base in the card.  Then die cut your shape and stamped the image and sentiment.  Color as you wish.  I used very subtle watercolors for a soft look.  Hope you like it too.

 

Bring it on June... We are ready.
