I'm on Iron Craft Season 2!! (video interview!!)

Hi there!!

Today I have something extra special for you!

Chaitali Narla from Cuts, Crops & Creativity invited me to join her amazing Iron Craft Season 2 series. Each episode features a crafter and some goodies. Both, Chaitali and the crafter, play with the same supplies to create a card. And there's a video interview!!

I was super excited reading her email until I read "video interview" lol then I sent her an email explaining that I'm Spanish and that it would be a disaster because even when I read and write English everyday... I never practice my spoken English!
Well, she encouraged me and I was "brave" enough to do it. Just a moment before the interview started I was thinking about running away, I was soooo nevous!!
I hope you enjoy the interview and I hope I can at least brigthen your day a little when you see me trying to speak :)

Here's my card, we both used Critters Ever After from Lawn Fawn

I created the background blending soft pink and orange distress inks, more distress inks for the grass and then I stamped and colored the images with Copics and fussy cut them.

Finally, I added subtle shimmer here and there with my Wink of Stella clear pen (a gift from my sweet bf!).

I had a lot of fun making the card, the interview and I laughted a lot seeing the video. And the most important, I've met a great, sweet and fun new friend, thanks Chaitali :)

Hey, there's also a giveaway so don't forget to comment on Chaitali's blog post for a chance to win!!

Cinderella's wish - Lawnscaping challenge #49

Hi!!
This is the first Lawnscaping challenge of the year and we're celebrating Lawnscaping's birthday too so, is there any better challenge than "let's party" for the occassion? As this is a special challenge I'd love that you join us!!

I've made this card inspired by Cinderella's tale. I used a lot of stamps to create the magical scene and I think that a little girl would love it!

The little dots and splashes are from Perfect Pearls Mist, it gives a nice shiny look but I couldn't photograph the shine and it looks a bit weird... I hope you like it, anyway!

I've also decorated the inside of the card. I don't do this very often and I don't know why because I think it's really lovely and little surprise for the receiver :)

Our sponsor in this challenge is Simon Says Stamp so you could win a $25 gift certificate to their store. Isn't that great? ;)

Operation Write Home - Cards for kids

Hi friends!

They need more cards dedicated to children, so go to your craft room and make some for this sweet purpose!

It has to be hard for a kid having a loved one so far so I made this card thinking about bringing a big smile to a little girl's face on her birthday and you know, Lawn Fawn has the perfect stamps for this!! :)

For the sentiment, I stamped it twice, the first one with orange ink and the second one with versamark ink, then I heat embossed it. I love how it looks!

Lawn Fawn August Inspiration week - Check this out

Welcome again!
Today is the last day of the Lawn Fawn inspiraion week, tomorrow the giveaways winners will be revealed so you have still time to comment on the Lawn Fawn blog for a lot of chances to win!

The DT girls are featuring a cool 4x6 set this time, "Check this out". This is a perfect set to go with the paper line, Dewey Decimal and it's all about books and the library, I love it!

So as we are still in Summer, I used Dewey Decimal in a more summery way, combining the aqua and teal with lime cardstock to make a card with surprise ;)
I wanted to make a bookmark and I tought it would be great to give someone a card with a book that include a bookmark and here is what I came up with!

The bookmark is "hidden" in the card, and its visible part is actually the back of the bookmark. You can easily remove the bookmark from the card to use it.

         

For the front side, I used a paper from Dewey Decimal as background and stamped different images from different Lawn Fawn sets. I wanted to alluding to all the different stories you could find in a book. I really hope you like it! :)

For the back side, I stamped the background of the bookmark with the book in the set, and added "this book belongs to" to customize it with the person's name.

Hi friends! :)

The other elements are from Happy Haunting, a set that I totally love <3

Lawn Fawn June Inspiration Week - Belinda's Borders

Hi and welcome to another Lawn Fawn inspiration week!
First of all, sorry for not posting lately. I had some cards to share but I've been very bussy due to work and one of my dogs having surgery, he's happy and recovered now :)

But you're here to see what I've made with Belinda's Borders, right? ;) This set is one of those super versatile and must have sets. As soon as I received it, more ideas have been coming to my mind on how to use it!

So I made two cards :)
The first one is a happy card featuring the stamps of the set as background / stamped patterned paper makers. I used almost all the stamps on the sets (except the hearts one) to make a card that could be used to welcome a new neighbour, for example.

On the second card I used one of the stamps to make a frame (I drawed the inside square by hand with a white gel pen)

I hope you like what I came up with! For more inspiration please visit Lawn Fawn blog and the other DT member's blogs, they're amazing! :)

Hi! :)
Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week continues today with a new set! This is a 4"x3" set dedicated to Dad's Day and it's perfect for all masculine cards!

Then, I wanted to make a little project to feature the set for Father's Day, so I made this super simple tag in the last moment, very easy to mass produce. To stamp the tie, I stamped first using the lighter color, then masked the little stripes and stamped again using the darker color.

Supply list:
- Lawn Fawn sets: "Dad's Day"

Lawn Fawn May Inspiration Week - Sunny Skies

Welcome!!
So today starts May inspiration week and we are featuring a cute set that is already one of my favorites. It's bright, happy and versatile, I LOVE it! The sentiments are big and gorgeous and, what about that smiley faces? So cute!!

I have lots of ideas in my head for making cards with this set but I finally made this card because I wanted to try distress inks with water and because I want to show you how to stamp that cute moon using this set. The stars are from Bake me a Cake and Critters Ever After.

I colored it using Distress Inks, I stamped the pad on an acrylic block, added water with a brush and colored with it.

Here's how the moon looked before I cut it (sorry, it's a phone pic). First, stamp the sun, then ink the sun again and clean the ink from the sun's radiance, or use a marker to ink only the circle. Finally, stamp one of the smiley faces and you're done :)
I hope you like it!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I have another card for tomorrow using another new set ;)

Let's go with the card. I had this idea and it seemed cool and funny in my mind but I think I'm not very happy with the final result... the colors, the patterns, the sketch... I don't know why! At least, I love the sparkling purple eggs, lol

Lawn Fawn March Inspiration Week: Critters Ever After

The first set we are featuring this week is "Critters Ever After". This is a super cute and fun set I LOVE each one of its stamps: the unicorn, griffin, dragon, frog, castle and all the little addons like the magic wand! :)
I'm very happy about featuring this set as my first DT member project because I absolutely love it! It's super cute! And it's very versatile too, obviously is perfect for all kind of cards for a little girl but also for a boy or even love cards!

I decided to make a card using the dragon stamp and the mirror stamping technique to create a shaker card with two dragons faceing each other: A fire dragon and an ice dragon. How cool is that? You can use the dragon and color it with different colors to have different kinds of dragons, kids would love that!

So, here is my card :)

And here is a closer look, the card is "shaked" in this one ;)
