Aloha DT Blog Hop!

Aloha everybody!! here we are for another fun blog hop hosted by Michelle Perkett. She, so generously as always, gave us another gorgeous image to work with: Leilani.
If you get here from Jan´s blog you are on the right way if not you can go back to the beginning to have fun with us!
And because this is a party I made two cards and a favor box

This set has a invite card, a thank you card and a palm tree favor box. I wish I had more time to finish everything I had in mind, so many ideas but so little time...

For the invite I started with a plane turquoise card, I computer generated and printed the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and placed it to the front of the card, then I glued green glitter on the Luau word and let it dry before I stitched a piece of acetate I painted some waves and a green border with acrylic paints from behind. I colored Leilani with colored pencils and added lots of glitter to make her sparkle! and place it on the card with foam tape. The flower: I went to the party store and I brought a Hawaiian necklace (those so pretty with flowers) and took three of them, glued them together and made the center with glitter before placing it on the card.

I then took another turquoise card and cut it in half to make the thank you cards

this time I painted the waves (and seagulls) directly on the front of the card with acrylic paint and some glitter glue ont he waves. I took a strip of green wrap paper and folded before placing it to the card. I colored another Leilani and cut it before attaching it to the card with foam tape. I used a piece of ribbon to hide the borders and finished the card with a flower and a tag.

And the last project is a favor box

does it looks like a palm tree? I hope so!! I used a pattern for a triangular box you can find it here. I printed it out on craft cardstock and sponged it (using a border template I cut with scissors) to make it look like a palm tree bark, I made two holes where I made go through several pieces of green ribbon as if were leaves. I tied the box with bow made of yute and I used two brown buttons as coconuts and secure the end of the bow. I cut the sentiment in a flag shape I love so much and instead of using another button to secure it I glued glass seed beads.
Hope you like this as much as I did making them!
I need to add a few words to the DT members, there is nothing else I din´t say already! shortly, so we can continue with the fun, I feel so glad I was part of this group, you ladies made me grow in many ways I never imagined and I´ll cherish all this time for the rest of my life! you are so talented and the source of my inspiration, thank you so much for that!! and a big thanks to Michelle for the opportunity to be part of her DT, I enjoyed every second, thank you! thank you! thank you!!

Now, hurry onto your next stop, lets see what Jana has prepared for us!

Earth Day Blog Hop!

Welcome to Michelle Perkett Studio Earth Day Blog Hop!
To celebrate this day we were asked to create something using recycled material. If you came from Mary´s blog you are on the right way, if not, why don´t you join us and start from the beginning at Michelle´s blog?

Now into my project:

I recycled this container to put your house keys, those that are around your place all the time and you can not find them when you have to go out? it also can be used to fill it with candy or chocolates... or as a place where to put your treasures...

I started from a plane octagon styrofoam, originally this piece comes from the packaging of a 2 liters bottle of choloform we got at our lab and I use them all the time to store small thing around my working table.

I papier machéed it by gluing small pieces of tissue paper and let it dry. After that I painted it with acrylic paints in two shades of green

I made a house following a sketch I found here, I´ve used it in Living in a happy place card before. Papers are from Summer Driggs. The pieces of the house I glued them to a piece of thin cardboard that was part of the packaging of bed sheets I bought a while ago and I save it for later use.

I cut it around, glued a flower as a window and drew stitches around with black gel pen. Finally, I made a slit on the top of the container where to slide the house and keep it standing without the need of gluing it.
I used Mary Mary from Michelle Perkett colored with colored pencils. I don´t know why but I´m always picturing Mary in front of a house... I should change her scenery someday but I love how she looks in front of a house!

Can you see the watering can? I used some cellophane paper to simulate the falling water by making a tiny slit where I slided the thin strips of paper (I saved this cellophane shredded paper from the packaging of a jar of cheese in olive oil we got as a gift two Christmas ago).
I took a piece of white ribbon from my stash and I threaded hooks from cans of soft drinks (I have a margarine container full of them!), glued it all around the container and made a knot to secure it

The flowers are cut with my cricut machine in scraps of papers, I crumpled some of them, curled others and layered two stitching them together with a glass bead. I glued them here and there around the container. I added some glitter glue on some edges of the container so it can sparkle a little bit.
Did you like my project? I had so much fun doing it! and I hope I can encourage you to use this packaging parts you usually throw away. If you varnish it, you can use it as a bowl to put some snacks!

Now hop onto your next stop: Therese!

Remember to leave some love along and let us save our planet!
Have a great day!

Love Letter Blog Hop!

Welcome to another stop on this amazing Love Letter Blog Hop hosted by the so talented Michelle Perkett!
If you arrived from Christine then you are on the right track, if you didn´t then go back here and start at the beginning.
This is my first time participating in a blog hop and I´m really excited! Hope you have fun and get plenty of inspiration from these wonderful and talented ladies; and fon´t forget please to leave them some love.
Michelle so generously gave us an image to make our project and we have to write a special love letter to go along with it. This is my creation and letter

I colored the image with colored pencils and added body shimmer dust to the fairy wings, so sad the picture doesn´t show it... as you can see I separated all parts of the image and glued them on different parts of the box. The papers are digi papers form Summer Driggs I printed oud and cut. I used a box template I found here, it´s so lovely and easy to make I´ll be using it again for sure. The stitched border is a new technique I´m starting to do and already like a lot, it´s not difficult at all and gives a nice touch to the project. And the lletter is for my special one, my daughter Maria.
Hop now onto your next stop: Susan!
