Autumn coffee cup treasure!

 Hi to all!

Happy Thursday!

A new and different style of card this time, such a fun discovery with a new technique with popular wax seal stamping a cute tassel addition!

I started with my old lace CS and added a textured white CS layer.

I stamped a coffee cup in fall colors and watercolored it with my Zig brushes, fussy cut.

Now die-cut stitched frames from a white handmade sheet. Die cut an Ampersand in textured metallic gold sheet and some true love stems in white. Added some gold markers to the love stems for the textures.

Using a clear glue stick made a sea, wax stamp and highlighted it with a gold marker.

Created a handmade tassel using some threads.


Wanna love all the textures with the autumn feeling and all elements together on this.

Happy crafting!

May your season sparkle!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Today I am going to share a Christmas card with winter trees, kraft animals, snowbanks, sparkles and a lot of textures!

Yipee!! Look at the cute badges I won:

The basic white top layer is debossed using spots EF from Itsy Bitsy.

My card base is a textured coconut cream CS. I added an inverted scalloped rectangle in Kraft color with dimension and created this adorable winter scene.

Added a torn snowbank to give detail and a layer of sparkle is heat embossed for more interest.

I die-cut some Christmas trees from a dazzling cream embossed textured sheet and a glittery tangerine sheet.  The cute fawn is in the kraft sheet.

The neon sunset glitter dots are the perfect combo with Kraft paper. I stamped the sentiment using archival ink.


Hope you enjoyed the process!

Happy crafting!

A Gift for You

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!

     I love the idea behind this card, that of sparkly embossing flowers and watercoloring in fall colors with a warm feeling.


I started by stamping the flowers and leaves on a white textured CS. Heat embossed the outlined images with Hero EP. Watercolored them with ZIG brushes and fussy cut them all.


Die cut a flower basket out of a textured white speciality sheet.


My card base is old lace CS and I added a sparkly chocolate color embossed sheet on it. Arranged my flower basket. Before adhering to the sheet I tied a dual-shade sparkly thread along with a textured fabric lace piece.


Added a wax seal stamp in the dual shade and highlighted it with my gold pen.


In the end, added a die-cut word celebrate out of a gold glitter sheet and enhanced the beauty of this card with some wax seal drops in brown color. Love all the shine and sparkle on it with the autumn feeling!!!

Hope you like it!
Happy crafting!

Everything starts with a Dream Mixed Media Canvas Layout!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

I want to showcase my canvas layout in a bright spring palette to gift my daughter!

The base of the composition was a MDF cutouts in the form of a door and windows. The background is made with a stencil, and texture paste on a pattern paper with clear gesso. I then sprayed some of the mists and blended them together with a wet paintbrush.





I added a green corrugated sheet at the top of the canvas. 


Gave a coat of chalk paint at all 4 corners and using a stencil applied the texture paste.


I added a scrap pice to the window with red tacky tape to attach the window shutter.

I now continue to add more embellishments and once they are all in place I applied gesso and some more paste to the flowers, door and window.


Some close-ups:











Handmade flowers, pollens, resin embellishments and some tiny sequins completed the composition! And they gave the very atmosphere of spring flowers.

Hope you all like it!

Happy crafting!
