Rainbow crafts!

Isn´t it funny that I love rainbows and had never ever made any sort of rainbow styled craft? Well, that is in the past because last week at the request of my cousin Adriana, who owns a Pride store here in town, I made a few rainbow themed things.

¿No les parece gracioso que me encanten los arcoiris pero nunca haya hecho ningún tipo de manualidad con esa temática? Bueno, eso fue en el pasado, porque la semana pasada, a pedido de mi prima Adriana, que tiene una tienda Pride aquí, en Mérida, hice algunas cosas con tema del arcoiris.

This is a set of cards I made with felt hearts cut with my Sizzix machine (that I love!) pp from DCWV and white cardstock, a little glitter and some ribbon I had in my stash.

Estas son una serie de tarjetas que hice con corazones de fieltro, cortados con mi Sizzix (que amo!), papel de DCWV y Bristol blanca, un poquito de glitter y listón que tenia entre mis materiales.
And here I made a journal, a little explosion box and a Maze Book. All with rainbow theme and most of them made only with cardstock and stuff I already had.

Aqui hice un diario, una cajita de explosión y un libro de laberinto. Todos con temática de arcoiris y la mayoria hechos solo con cardstock y cosas que ya tenía a la mano.

Right now I´m making inchies. These are some I made a little while ago for a swap and the theme is animals. Right now I´m making some with Love theme and Birthday.

Ahora estoy haciendo inchies, los cuales son cuadritos de exactamente 1"x 1" y los decoras con un tema; estos son de animales y los que estoy haciendo ahorita son de amor y cumpleaños.

And last a serious case of altering stuff addiction... I altered my shoes! I cut some fabric scraps with my Sizzix skull die and hearts and did that. I love how they look!

Y ya de último, un serio caso de adicción a alterar cosas.... alteré mis zapatos! Corté unos retazos de tela con mi dado de Calavera de Sizzix, y corazones, e hice eso. ¡Me encanta cómo se ven!


Hope to see you around and thanks for all your comments. Last week I had the busiest week ever because of some invitations I made but is a bit normal now. See you around in the blogosphere!

Espero verlos por aquí y ¡gracias por sus comentarios! La semana pasada estuve ocupadísima debido a unas invitaciones que hice, pero la tormenta ya se va calmando. ¡Les veo en la blogosfera!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

What you all got? I got and E-card wich means a lot to me cause I never get one of those, hey is the thought that counts, besides I prefer to get the money for scrapbooking goodies, don´t need stuffed animals or flowers, chipboard, inks glitter then we are talking.

Last night I made something for my hunny, and it was very well received (I got an Ecard!) and well thats all it matters, besides is not like I don´t get goodies trough the year.

It is a new concept in cardmaking (at least for me) TinCard, I have to work better on it and do it with more time next time, hope Hallmark likes it and hires me lol! I can see the merge of Hersheys & Hallmark, yes I it could work.

This is the front of the TinCard (inside came a Hershey bar) and I put some fibers and ribbon to add some flair.

First part of the card, I masked the sticker letters and then added the other words with some foam so it would pop up, the verse I read it at a cat blog I frequent and loooved it, is cute, silly and sweet, so is perfect.

Part 2 of the card: When you are making this make sure you check the size of your letters or the cheese thing could happen to you.


And the last part in case you can´t read my horrible handwriting it says "But the best part of it we" and is got the love not the heart as the recipient of the card said.

2 Peas Challenge (double):

I got an E card so far and no plans to celebrate since dear SO has a date with a cute detective from a tv show, I´m free so if you have some extra chocolate come by and we´ll have a party, worst case scenario I have Leonidas to keep me company.

Have a great day everybody!!

Waterfall cards and sweets

Well haven´t been all that crafty lately I know bad Lida lol, but really wanted to try the Waterfall card from Splitcoast Stampers and I am hooked, I made one at the office with my nephews stamps thats why the very rustic look and with elements I had there (not too many) and I loved how easy it was and how cool it looks.

Yes rustic indeed, no eyelets there or nice stamp but it was just as much fun.

Then I made this one at home, stamped the flowers and painted them with watercolors, double the fun.

Then finally this one that I really love, stamped the images and color them with markers and did some doodling around the edges and loved the colors and background and all.

So I plan to make some more cause its really fast and funt to make them.

This is how the Lollipop Heart Rice Krispie treat turned out, look good and were pretty yummy.

And a picture of our leftover mix turned into regular rice krispie treats, really really yummy.

And a very artistic close up, look you can even see the calories lol.

The 2 Peas Challenge is: Where do you see yourself in a year...

And honestly I rather not say, this last couple of years have been a rollercoaster of events and the plans I have made for the year or the future get on hold because of several situations, so as long as I´m on planet earth, healthy, happy and with the one that loves me everything will be fine.

Cardmaking

I hardly ever make cards, simple reason Mexico doesn´t have the culture of sending cards, I remember being very young and buying cards for my loved ones and then see them thrown away, so I stoped. Then with my boyfriends and stuff the same thing, so that thought me no cardmaking.

However since getting the Crafters Companion, cardmaking is really starting to grow on me, so I´ve been making cards, now I´m not really good at it and I struggle a bit but I´m really liking it.

Made with the Big Shot dies, paisley and the cat embossing die and brown, red and beige cardstock, I like it I think it looks cute.

This I made it with Prima Hybrid paintables, then I colored with water colors and added some glitter and stamped the word "Thank you". I like it too, coloring was fun.

This is the "I love you Bobby" card that I made for Diana´s date with Det. Bobby Goren, no not really but since she said about the date for Valentine´s we´ve been teasing her about it all the time, and when I made this card well I had to give it to her so she can use on her date, the little hearts are felt and I used the wild dashes textures of the Big Shot.

So thats my cardmaking, I might continue it, I have a new magazine about cardmaking so I´ll cardlift some that I like.

The challenge in 2peas is what that I have seen of CHA reviews do I want, and honestly I haven´t seen anything yet, but I do want a lot of things, for starters the Crop a Dile Big Bite and I want inkpads and alcohol inks and paper and bazzill cardstock and and, well you get the idea.
