More card making!

I wanted to create something with a little pizzaz... if you know what I mean (wink!).  So I came up with this concept of a card in pink, black, white.  And if that was not all, the paper has a leopard print in black and white.... Now, with that said, everything is good in moderation, and I think this beautiful series of cards I have in mind and I'm calling "Glam!" have just enough flower power.  Take a peek!



Here are more close ups of the embellishments and the flowers I made. I used Maya Road stick pins to secure a ribbon sewn with silver sequins and a little angel button I had in my stash. 

But my favorite part is the inside....


Now this next card is the second on my series "Glam!" and I wanted to keep a similar color palette, but making it slightly simpler yet elegant.  So I kept textures rich and the overall presentation simple. 
The stamp is beautiful and I added a rhinestone for a sparkle effect.  The bloom is from the bloomers collection by Websters, and I only added one overlaid on top of a wired arrange of faux pearls.  There is a very slightly weathered feel to it, as I inked the edges very slightly.  

The inside is also stamped, and it is also framed in a pink foil die cut.

Poinsettia Wreath

Image
I have accumulated so much ribbon lately that I was looking for ways to use it to make some holiday decor.  I remembered how my grandmother used to make wreaths for every holiday and I used to sit down in her kitchen table and look at her beautiful creations.  I clearly remembered the Day of the Dead wreaths she made with crepe paper, wire, and ribbon.   In my nostalgia I thought about using my ribbon to decorate a wreath.  I had some cardboard left over and I drew a circle and cut it out to use it as the base.  Then I started scrunching up the wired ribbon all around. I used glue to keep it into place and mini brads on some parts, just to keep it in place but I took them away when it was dry. The poinsettias are from Michael's.  They have stems with 3-4 poinsettias for like $1.99.  I kept the palette soft and used white and gold poinsettias.  By the way, did you know poinsettias come from Mexico? Back in the 1800s the US Ambassador to Mexico introduced them to the Unite

Handmade Christmas Trees

Image
Hi Dear Crafty Friends, It has been a long time... This hiatus had to do with my very demanding semester of graduate school work.  I moved in June, and then took my general degree examinations in September (3 days of grueling testing).  Then took my oral examinations and wrote my dissertation prospectus.  Ah, and almost forgot, submitted about 15 applications for internship.  Yes, it has been a very long and very hard couple of months and my craft suffered during this time.   But yesterday my son saw some Christmas trees and he asked me if he could have one.  I turned to pinterest for inspiration and voila, I made our very own mini Christmas trees.  Here they are:  Super easy to make... I used cereal boxes as my base! I used wired glittered ribbon on the one at the far left and glued it with a hot glue gun.  Then used some nice trimmings on the rest of them.  All in all this was such a great chance to get back to my crafts!   TFL and hope to see you soon!
