Sunny Studio Stamps guest designer!

Hi hi!
I hope you're enjoying your Sunday!
I'm having fun with my boyfriend exploring our new city, I had been here a ton of times before but it's different, you know? Also, the weather is unusally warm for mid November so it's really nice having a walk :)

I couldn't join the Sunny Studio blog hop first release party and I was totally bummed about it so when Mendi invited me to be her guest designer, she made me really happy!

I made two cards featuring two of her wonderful stamps: School Time and Birthday Smiles. I enjoyed playing with these stamps, coloring the big images and having the chance to color or stamp with the solid stamps from Birthday Smiles, it's a great and a must need stamp, indeed!

Here's a sneak peak of them, you can visit Sunny Studio blog to see the full cards!

Thank you so much, Mendi for your invitation, my best wishes for you on and your stamps company *big hugs*!!

And thank you so much everyone for visiting my blog today, enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

Jenn 10th blogiversary celebration!!

Hi there!!

Jenn Shurkus from Creative Chick and one of my beloved buddies from Lawnscaping challenges, is celebrating her 10th blogiversary this month. Yes, you read right, 10 years!! Wow!!

To celebrate this special occassion, she's having a big party all month long. And as one of her guests, I'm CASEing one of her fantastic creations that she has been sharing during all these years. I must confess I really had a bad time choosing just one of her projects, I really love her simple, cute and colorful style!

I finally chose this card. I love it so much!! It's just adorable!! And I made my version as a congrats card for a wedding. I kept the sketch the same and most of the colors, and I used some of the lastest Lawn Fawn products, I couldn't resist myself, I love them!!

For the happy couple I just draw eyelashes to Mrs. Foxy and used some pearls and a tiny bit of paper tower on her head. For Mr Foxy I borrowed the hat from the bird of Happy Wedding and the bow from Love'n Breakfast. They look perfect, aren't they? haha

And, what's a celebration without at least a bit of sparkle? Here's my wink of stella pen to save the day! ;)

I'd love if you join the celebration and have some fun with us. You can participate CASEing one of her cards from her 10 years of crafting and linking it on her blog. You will have the chance to win fabulous prizes from all these sponsors!! Don't think about it twice and grab your stamps!! ;)

You have until August 4th to submit your entries and the winners will be announced on Jenn's blog August 7th :)

Top Dog Dies guest designer

Hola!!

Sorry for being disapeared lately. I had some personal issues and I had to put my crafty projects aside for a while. I hope you are all right and enjoying your weekend! :)

This post is a bit late but I'm still super excited of having the chance to play with this goodies and try the products from Top Dog Dies. A few weeks ago I was asked to be a guest designer for Top Dog Dies and I can finally share my projects with you!

They were very generous and sent me three die sets from their new release to play with. The entire release is amazing and I love my new dies! They cut perfectly and they're super cute :)

So, for my first project I used the new Dinosaur trio dies and I created a little birthday scene from the past (yeah, they had birthday hats in the past, hadn't they? haha)
I die cut color cardstock for the dinos and added a bit of detail just coloring some parts with a darker Copic.



I created the background sponging the base with inks and die cut a mask of post-it for the clouds. I love that die, I used it for the coulds and stones hehe!

Then I stamped the sentiment that is from Lawn Fawn Birthday Tags. And finally,  I added two triangles of patterned papers with a glued mini pompom as their hats, and, of course, googly eyes!



My second project uses the Coffee dies set, I love this cute set so much!! I know I'm going to use this a lot for personal stuff and, as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make a tag :)

I cut the tag from patterned paper and heat embossed "enjoy" from Let's Play Lawn Fawn stamps. Then I adhered the coffee vase and tied some rusting twine to the tag. I love using mini clothespines to attach my tags to their packages, they are too cute!



I added a hidden mesagge to my tag by cutting the vase twice and scoring the top of the second piece (the one non-decorated) so it can be opened easier. Then I stamped the sentiment before glueing the two parts just on the top. The sentiment is from Love you a Latte Lawn Fawn stamps, all the sentiments in this set go great with the coffee die! <3





My third and final project is another card that I made using the Banners #1 die set and scraps. I love when I can use my scraps because I don't like to throw away even small pieces of my pretty patterned paper :)



For this card I used those stripes printed on the bottom of 12x12 patterned paper pages or even on the top of some 6x6 patterned paper stacks. The banners dies are just the perfect size!
I die cut some banners, hand stitched one of them and added embellishments from my stash and a simple and colorful card is done :)



Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my projects and be inspired to use these amazing dies. Thank you so much to the people of Top Dog Dies for being so nice and giving me the chance to have a fun time playing with their products!!

Guest designer at La Pareja Creativa

Hola!!

Today I'm writting my post on both English and Spanish because I'm guesting at La Pareja Creativa, a Spanish company that makes stamps and dies. I'm super exciting about this because I love this company and their versatile products, and they have spanish sentiments!!

I combined their products with Lawn Fawn products and I think they match perfectly! I hope you like what I made, for more information visit their blog and if you have any questions, just leave a comment or send me an email :)

Hoy escribo también en español ya que soy la invitada del mes de Enero de La Pareja Creativa, si no la conoces (aunque me imagino que sí!) es una compañía española de sellos y troqueles super versátiles y con frases en español!
Bueno, decir que estoy ilusionada con la invitación es poco!! Me encantan sus productos y además todas las chicas son un encanto.

Para mis tarjetas he combinado sus productos con cositas de Lawn Fawn y yo creo que juntos quedan de maravilla!
Para más información sobre cada una de las tarjetas, visitad el blog de La Pareja Creativa y si tenéis cualquier pregunta no dudéis en dejarme un comentario o enviarme un email.

They have a monthly challenge and this time the theme is "shakers" so because I love shaker cards I made two!

En LPC tienen un desafío mensual y este mes toca "shakers" así que como a mi me encantan, dos de mis tarjetas son shakers, claro!

   

   

And because it's Valentine's Day soon, I had to make something related with it so I used the  TQM die (Te Quiero Mucho) that means I love you so much (ok, not literally hehe).

Y como San Valentín está cerca también quise hacer una tarjetita para el día de los enamorados, así que el troquel TQM me vino de perlas!

Thank you so much for your visit today, big hugs!!

Muchas gracias por tu visita, un abrazo enorme!!

From La Pareja Creativa I used:
- Muchos Puntos die set
- Bordes Decorativos die set
