Thanks!

Look how cute are these mini tags! they are very small: 1.5x3 in but cute nevertheless, right? ☺ I was felling like using my scraps of paper today so I started with cutting the tags in red cardstock with my cricut machine, took a scrap of light blue paper and embossed it, and placed them on the tags. Hand wrote Thanks! and glued some black sequins following this great sketch from Iwona.

The images are from Melissa Liban, they are part of a digital paper (you can find her cute images at Missy´s Etsy store) that I punched with a circular punch and layered them with a scalloped circle (cut with the cricut too). Then I placed them on the tags with foam tape. I finished the tags stappling a piece of ribbon.
Loving all these cute little robots! Quick, easy and fun! I think they could be great for thank you note cards (tags) for a boy birthday party.

Snow one like you...

This is a card I made this weekend, I´m using some digital paper I was not able to remember where I found it, if you know, please let me know and I´ll give credit of it, it´s so beautiful! soft and pretty colors...

The image is Snow Goddess from Michelle Perkett colored with colored pencils and placed it with foam tape. It´s a very simple card: I ruffled a piece of ribbon, added a felt snowflake that I glued a flower on its center and decorated with glass seed beads, the most demanding part was coloring the image but it´s so gorgeous you don´t mind spending some time in it at all!

Snowman of ♥Love♥

This card was made in just a few minutes, I´ll try to remember this day next year when I start to make Christmas cards, maybe once in my life I won´t be late!

I opened the image (Snowman Love from Designed to Delight) and sentiment (from Elisa) in PS, open a new file with the dimension of the card and dragged the images in, resizing them to have them in the right position. Took a blank card and printed the file right on the cardstock and voilá! ready to color and embellish!

To color the image I used just colored pencils. Added a bit of decoupage glue on the hearts to give them a nice shiny look, and glittered the snow and the center of the snowflake to add sparkle. This one is for my sweetheart, hope he is not reading this!

More hangers!

I just love to make them! so every time I´m not into a card mood I just make one of these hanger and I feel completely happy afterwards ☺

This time I made two of them: they are made altering an old CD. I like to alter them because I don´t have to think of the shape, they are already a perfect circle! and they have plenty of room for you to play.
The image is Winter Bear I got from Designed to delight for free because I participated last week on their challenge blog, it´s a progressive challenge where you get in your inbox a free image to play with for the next challenge if you played on the previous one, it´s an all win challenge! isn´t it great?!?! I love the idea!

I colored the bears with colored pencils and blended them with mineral oil: I used two color schemes green-purple and green-orange (click on them to enlarge). I added dots of white puff paint on the falling snow (puffed after it dried) and glitter on the sliding snow, cut in a circle and they were ready to place with foam tape on the center of the front part. The front papers are cut from an old music book and painted with white acrylic paint because they were (too) yellow... then I glued some sequins with coordinating colors in a circle around the image.

On the back I used a napkin as patterned paper glued to a piece of cardstock. The sentiments are from TlcCreations cut in a circular shape too and placed on the centers with foam tape also.

I painted dots of white puff paint around the sentiments and glittered them before it dried (tap the excess and let it dry before puffing it), so you end up with a glittery puffy border...

And finally to hang then I used a piece of fishing line I decorated starting with a sequin snowflake and a few glass seed beads with coordinating colors, I finished it with a loop and another snowflake. When I finished them I found them kind of plain on the borders so I glued a piece of white fiber around, it was a good idea because I could hide the CD edge at the same time.
Hope you like this one and feel inspired to recycle your old CDs too!

Ornaments!

At Delightful Inspiration we are challenged to use this beautiful poinsettia image to make a  project, it took me two days decide what to do... and finally I made ornaments! they were so much fun to make!

I started by choosing the papers (from Jaime), I changed the color of the image on PS to match the papers and printed the flower several times on three coordinating patterned papers. Then I pieced all parts of the flower, shaded them a bit with colored pencils before attaching all parts with foam tape. To add sparkle and texture to my ornaments I glued some glass seed beads on the centers of the flowers. The snowflakes are plastic ones from the dollar store already glittered, a piece of fishing line makes them ready to hung!

Hope you like them!
