Mini card

I was playing with a small piece of cardstock while I was hoping from blog to blog looking for a challenge when I found at 365 cards the perfect challenge for my scraps.
Today's challenge at 365 cards is to create a card not bigger than a 3x3" and the challenge at Flutter By Wednesday's is to use embossing (any kind) with your butterfly, fairy or angel.
I put both challenges togather into my small piece of cardstock and came up with this cute 3" by 2.5" card.

I heat embossed the butterflies which are part of a stamp set from MS that I bought a long time ago, I hand cut them out and placed them over the dry embossed yellow cardstock. Very simple / quick card and a great use of my scraps. (I know I have to make houndreds of these to actually start reducing my pile of scraps, but this could be a begining)  ;o)

Hope you like my mini-card.

Birthday vintage card

After 6 wonderful days at the beach, I am back here to share with you my first ever vintage card.
I have seen a lot of wonderful vintage projects out there and to be honest I was so shy with this style, but I love the vintage look so I though that I have to give it a try. I am not sure if my card here meets or not the vintage rules (don't even know if there are rules) but I like the result.

Please enjoy my card and if you have any advise on how create vintage crafts, I would appreciate if you want to share your knowleadge with me.

Thanks for visiting,

Vivi

Note card set and a winner / Set de tarjetas y una ganadora

First things first, let's go with the Sandra's Butterflies Birthday Blog Hop candy winner!

I used Random.org to select my winner and the follow was the result:

CONGRATULATIONS PAMMIE KAY!!!!!

 You won a set of your choice of Dyed Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot.

Now on the note card set:

I made this set of cards as a gift for a very good friend of my mom.

I used Damask Decor card feature and tag feature and made the box out of one sheet of card stock a few folds. 

Embellished both the cards and the box with ribbon.

What I like the most of these type of gifts is that the recipient could use the cards for what ever motive she has, they could be Birthday, Congratulations, Thinking of you or even Sympathy cards.

I also print out a set of name cards and added them to the box.

Hice este set de tarjetas como un regalo para una muy buena amiga de mi mamá.

Usé la función de tarjeta del cartucho Damask Decor y la de la colilla. La caja la hice con una pieza de cartón y unos pocos dobleces. Para decorar tanto las tarjetas como la caja solo usé un poco de cinta.

Lo que más me gusta de este tipo de regalos es que quién los reciba, puede usar las tarjetas para cualquiera que sea el motivo, sirven perfectamente para cumplaños, felicitaciones o hasta para tarjetas de pésame.

También imprimí un set de 10 tarjetas de nombre y se las agregué a la caja.

 I hope you liked this and thanks for visiting me!
Espero les haya y gracias por visitarme!

Welcome back card

Yesterday I received the Damask Decor cartridge as part of a bundle from Cricutmachine. Actually I was expecting a different cartridge and to be completely honest, I didn't want this cartridge at all. I couldn't be more wrong about it! Now I am delighted with it!... It has great cards and envelopes that are really easy to cut!!!!!! and the best thing is that with two cuts you have a wonderful card done!!!! I haven't imagine my self saying this, but I think this cart will became one of my favorites.
I made this card today in a rush... the most time consuming thing was to select the papers I wanted to use.

I cut this at 3.80 with my gypsy. A wonderful thing about this cartridge is that once you choose the size of the card, both layers will fit perfectly and so does the envelope!!! You don't have to figure out your envelope size once you have the size of your card. (another reason why I am loving this cart)

I made a small trick on this card because I wanted the background white and I only had 81/2" x 11" white card stock, and I had the front already cut when I realize that, so I had to modify the card base with my Gypsy girl. I welded two "Layer 1" with the internal shapes hidden (easy!)
The tag is from Home Accents cut twice with the shadow and the blackout features. The generated the sentiment with my computer and printed it over the white layer.

I cut the envelope at the same size (3.80 with my Gypsy) and you can cut the damask design with the silhouette feature to decorate the envelope, but I was out of time so I used the negative of the front cut to decorate the envelope. (I think it came out OK)

I hope you like this one.
If you feel like you want to make me happier, do not hesitate in leave me a comment... I LOVE comments!

Día Internacional de la mujer - International women's day

Today, (March 8) is the International Women's day. I have never thought of myself as a feminist, and as a matter of fact I do think that men and women are different from each other’s although as human been, we are equal in dignity and rights. I believe that we shouldn't need a day to remind ourselves our rights, but it is nice to celebrate our femininity, that is why I wanted to create my own challenge for today and make a project that reflects femininity. Then, I thought that it will be nice to know what do you, my blogger friends, think about the International women's day? So, my challenge for you is to create a project about that!
Hoy (8 de marzo) se celebra el Día Internacional de la Mujer. Nunca me he considerado feminista, y
de hecho creo que hombres y mujeres somos distintos, aunque como seres humanos somos iguales en dignidad y derechos. Creo que si bien no deberíamos de necesitar un día al año que nos recuerde estos derechos, si es lindo celebrar nuestra feminidad, y por eso he querido hacer mi propio reto y elaborar un proyecto que refleje esa feminidad. Les reto también a elaborar un proyecto que refleje su pensamiento sobre el Día Internacional de la Mujer.
And here are my projects: 2 girly cards.
Y aquí están mis proyectos: 2 tarjetas muy femeninas

This is a Bridal Shower invite. It screams "Girls just want to have fun!"
Esta es una invitación para una despedida de soltera. Este diseño grita "¡Las chicas solo quieren divertirse!"

This is a "any ocasson card".
Esta es una tarjeta que puede servir para cualquier ocasión.

Dulces 16 / Sweet 16

Esta tarjetita la hice para la hija de una amiga, que está a punto de cumplir sus 16 años. Como ella vive en Estados Unidos, y allá esa es la edad en que los jóvenes obtienen su licencia de conducir, quise reflejar eso en la tarjeta. Los colores, son sus favoritos, azul, verde y amarillo. Quise mantener eso si, la feminidad en la tarjeta colocando flores y usando papeles que a mi parecer son bastante femeninos. Espero que a Julia le guste su tarjeta.

I made this card for a frind´s daugther who is about to have her 16th Birthday. The colors I used are her favorites (blue, green and yellow) I wanted to keep the card girly by adding many flowers on it and with the pattern papers which I think are very feminine. I hope Julia likes her card.

This card match the requirment for the Cooking with Cricut challenge for this week which is "Double take"... I used 2 pattern papers (blue and green), 2 pieces of solid cardstock (black, white, blue, and the light green), 2 embelishments (pearls, flowers, brads, I used 8!) and a cut from cricut (the zebra, the sweet word, number 16, the circle and scalop circle).

Have a wonderful day / Que tengas un maravilloso día
