Sequins for Father

 
I've been showing several Father's Day cards I recently made... 
 
This is another one of that series... using embossing fodders and die cut shapes.
 
I placed black cardstock in the card base to be able to make the eclipse effect.  Embossed cardstock shows hearts of love.  Sentiment and image were stamped in the circle and applied with dimensional adhesives.
 
I also inked the edges of the circle for some distressed look
 
 
 
I was kind of thinking if sequins are appropriate for a Father card and I used these black and brown ones... and thought it was ok...  What do you think?

Graduation Cards

Are you attending to a graduation this year?  Maybe you are the one graduating!   This is like the topic these days, huh?
 
I made a couple of CAS graduation cards.  I combined stamps from two brands:  sentiment is from  Deep Red Stamps and image is from Unity Stamp Cos.
 
For this one I framed the sentiment and image and embellished with sequins.
 
 
I also added a little bit of glitter with glossy accents to the hats.

 
 
The second one, using same stamps and also with CAS (clean and simple) style, but the sentiment is the one having some glitters in the stars, and note that the hats were fussy cut and placed with dimensional adhesive.


 
 
Love the simplicity yet nice and well placed graduation cards I've just made.  Hope you like them too.  Happy Graduation!

Wheels for Father

Happy Memorial Day...
I think of my father everyday but this is a special one, since he was a veteran to Korea war.  So it's a good moment to share other Father's Day cards...
 
I chose to share these two using the same embossing folder with these wheels and kind of mechanics pieces as background.
 
For the first one I place the embossed cardstock unto design paper.  Note that I distressed the mechanic wheels shapes with some ink.
 
 
 
Sentiment was stamped in patterned paper and then shaped imperfectly and framed with cardstock, with a detail of a circle shape to make it stand out.
 
This is how it looks:

 
 
For the other one, I used same embossing folder but I placed it to a side when adhered to the base cardstock.  This way, I had some room for some buttons.

 
Image and sentiment were stamped in a die cut circle and placed in the opposite side. A nice CAS card with great balance is the result.

 
Hope you like them both.  Father's Day coming soon. :)

Dream Catcher ATC

This is the second ATC I made for the May swap with my Unity friends.
This one's called "Dream Catcher"

I inked unto a pink cardstock to create my own patterned paper and stamped the image and sentiment.


A peculiar decision I made was to make all 10 ATC's different from each other.  They are related and have same concept but to some I added washi tapes, or sequins, and applied different designs.



Hope you like them.

Wine Birthday Girl

A birthday card for a special wine lady...
 
Her birthday was yesterday and she's a special woman in the wine industry... plus a very nice and unique person.
 
 
I thought this stamp would go perfectly with her look.  She's classy, modern, and also kind of rebel in a good way... so these boots are just for her... LOL!

 
She loved the card. :) Mission accomplished.

Wine Birthday

My husband's birthday was yesterday...

This is a card I made for him.

I used die cuts for all shapes and the sentiment is from Latina Crafter.


Love the corrugated paper, with the cork, and all the beautiful colorful bottles... 





Cheers!
