Flower card

Hello crafting Friends!! How are you doing? Hope you are doing well.

Today we are here with a new challenge at A Place to Start Challenge Blog.

Today's challenge is to make card or something that includes flowers!

For this card I used one of my alcohol ink backgrounds that I made a while ago, I added the flower and the sentiment and I love it!!

The flower and the leaves were made with the flower punch from Stampin Up, but unfortunately both of them are retired now.

The sentiment is from Latina Crafter, the set is called Birthday Girl.

I hope you like it and join us!!

Pencil shaped card for a teacher

Hello crafting Friends!! How are you doing? Hope you are doing well with this "new normal"

I just realized that I haven't post anything since last challenge, today we come with a new challenge at A Place to Start Challenge Blog.

Today's challenge is to make a shaped card, I made a pencil shaped gift card with my Silhouette Cameo, the file is called Pencil Shaped Gift Card Holder

Because the school year came to an end I wanted to give my daughter's teacher something to thank her for her help during the home school - stay home classes.

For the base of the card I used cardstock from The Recollections in color cream, I used the same brand for the top of the card the eraser with pink and the metal part with gray and the point in black.

The patter paper is from Doodlebug Design Inc., the paper pad is called School Days 6x6

I hope you like it and join us!!

Card for a friend

Hello Crafty Friends!! Happy Monday!

Hope you are doing great in this "stay at home" season. Toda we have a new challenge at A Place to Start Blog Challenge.

For this challenge we are making our own "background paper" and since I just got my new alcohol inks I decided to use them and create some cool backgrounds.

I made an A2 note card, as a base I used black cardstock, as a second base I used white cardstock and then my background created with alcohol inks in Yupo paper.

I played with some of the inks and at the end I had some left over of the Gumball ink, I added some alcohol and placed the Yupo pape over the ink several times until I had the desired effect.

You don't see the final effect until it dries completely.

I used a set from My Creative Time called Friendships Are Forever Stamp & Die Set, I cut the works Friends in back cardstock and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Ink in Onyx black.

As a final touch added a hot pink half pearl on top of the i.

Treat bag for a friend

Happy Monday!!!! Today we come with another challenge at A Place To Start, today's challenge is to use unconventional materials: use a household object/item.

I used a lunch paper bag and decorated it with pattern paper. I used a Heidi Swapp - Hawthorne Collection - 12 x 12 Paper Pad.

The sentiment is from Latina Crafter called You Got This!

Made two holes with my crop-a-dile, added some pink twine and it is ready to be given to someone with chocolates, a lunch, a treat, anything you want to give to you love one.

You got this!!!

Hello!!! Happy Monday!!

Today at A Place to Start we have a new monthly challenge, this time is Anything Goes w/optional twist: CAS, and if you know me, this is my jam!!

We are sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps, I used the digi stamp called Tulip Hedge. I colored her with my Copics, as usual, but this time I wanted some subtle colors not to bright and I think I did it!! What do you think?

I added Stickles to the bow, on Star Dust (which is my favorite).

For the background paper I used pattern paper from Craft Smith, the collection is called Santa Fe Garden. I wanted to make a background with the Distress Oxide, but tho be honest... I am not killing that technique yet, so I decided to use paper and I happened to have this beautiful one.

The sentiment is from Latina Crafter, from the Be a Blessing collection, the set is called You Got This.

Hope you like it!!
