Gift tags!

Hello dear friends! Tuesday and my second post of the week, whoo hoo! I wanted to share a nice project I made: some very cute gift tags. I loved how they turned out, I made them to embellish some paper bags full of yummy goodies for my lab mates☺

I printed the images (from The Graphics Fairy) on cardstock, cut them around and tied a piece of yute, I closed the paper bags with a piece of washi tape, I hung the tags with a tiny decorated clothespin (I glued a sequin snowflake and a brad). Very easy but beautiful! I´ll make more because they look great and can be used for everything!

Hello again! now I want to share a card I made using a few things I found at my (ever growing) stash.
I wanted to try something new: cut stripes of patterned paper (here I used digital and wallpaper sampler) and made another out of them. A nice technique! Then I took some wood letters, paint them with a black marker and glittered them after, they look great in real life!

Finished it by gluing the letters to a scrap of embossed cardstock and embellished the card with rhinestones.The word spells MOM in Spanish ☺
Thank you for stopping by! have a nice day!

Sparkle and shine!

I made a Christmas card! it was a while since my last one... but I wanted to try my X-Mas set of clear stamps. They are so cute!

another clean and simple one, with a little bit of sparkle, a piece of twine and just two main colors: red and blue. I stamped the images on scraps of paper, cut out, colored with colored pencils, glitter them a bit and placed them on the card with foam tape.

On the inside I placed the sentiment and stamped another Santa in gray.
Thank you for stopping by today!

Birds of a feather...

I´m trying to use my stash, and my new rubber stamps! I´m still struggling to make good impressions... here you have a good example of not a good stamping (*sigh* maybe one day...) but the paper is great for coloring!

Patterned paper, cardstock, buttons, flower are all oldies on my stash, but I still love them! I colored the image with my colored pencils and added a bit of glitter on the bird´s hats, rounded the bottom corners and faux stitched with white gel pen.
Thank you for stopping!

Today my daughter (12 y-o) showed me this video, and now it´s my turn to share it with you all. Never doubt, never forget: We can make a difference.

Tea?

Loving this image! it´s one of the images you get if you participate at the Progressive Challenge at CDAC. I like this tea pot a lot (it´s from Sandi Samples) and it was a wonderful opportunity to try something new: color on craft paper with my coloring pencils.

It was fun and I´m sure will be coloring on this paper again, but I´m not completely happy with the result so there is a lot to learn! I embellished my card with a piece of sheer ribbon I didn´t want to throw away, a doily and two pearls. I stamped the sentiment on top and placed the image with foam tape for dimension. Very simple!
Thank you for looking and have a nice day!
