Valentine's Card

Hello!!

Long time no see!!!

It's been a long time since my last post...it's been a tough year for me and

unfortunately , my passion for paper had to take a back seat :(

Nothing better than start with a Valentine's card!

With all the pop-ups , die cuts and glittery hearts I deserve!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

xoxo

Foi um ano bem puxado aqui pra' mim e tive que deixar meu hobby de lado :(

Mas, espero poder agora dedicar mais tempo para os meus papeis e postar mais tambem.

A comecar por um cartao de Valentine's Day.

Valentine's (14/fevereiro) e' o dia dos namorados aqui na Inglaterra.

Com todo gliter que temos direito!

Feliz Valentines!!

Hi my friends!

I'm here to post my third card of the week.

This one was super fun to make and is my kind of thing!

Love-love-love paper piecing those cute Lawn Fawn critters.

I tried to make it clean and simple by not adding too many images 

and just a simple sentiment.

And boy oh boy do I like this shade of blue!

Ola colegas crafteiras e crafteiros!

Hoje estou postando o meu terceiro cartao da semana.

Amei fazer este aqui pois tem tudo do que mais gosto,

paper-piecing (usar varios papeis decorados para fazer o colorido dos carimbos)

Tentei com muito esforco faze-lo clean and simple

colocando somente algumas imagens e um sentimento bem simples.

Gente, voces acham que eu gosto deste tom de azul??

Sera'....

Be The Star That You Are Meant To Be Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

Enjoying the long weekend?

Here's my card.

A masculine one this time.

Used the ink blowing technique....easy and effective!

Just a drop of ink and a straw to create a design by blowing the ink to the direction you want.

The sentiment was heat-embossed in black on to a strip of vellum paper.

Ola pessoal!!

Estamos aqui aproveitando este feriadao de Maio!

E aqi esta' o meu cartao....desta vez um masculino pra' variar.

Usei a metodo da tinta e do canudinho....muito facil e o efeito e' muito legal!

Apenas pingue uma gota de tinta no papel e com um canudinho 

voce assopra a tinta na direcao desejada,

criando assim um design interessante.

O sentimento foi carimbado com estampagem a quente (heat- embossing) numa tira de papel vegetal.

 All the stars were  heat-embossed in white on to a dark blue cardstock.

Materials Used:

Stamps from PTI

Cardstocks from Studio Calico Card Kit

Inks by Stampin'up

PTI Make it Monday Challenge #114 - Blown Ink

I Thought of You...Card

Hello!

I'm here with my second card of the week!

This was so much fun to make...

Creating a little scenery on my cards is my favourite thing to do!!

Isn't this little birdie adorable?

The picture doesn't show really well but, 

I have spritzed some grey ink on the "moon" to give it some colour.

Oi gente!

Estou aqui com o meu segundo cartao da semana.

Adorei fazer este aqui...gosto muito de criar cenarios nos meus cartoes.

Acho que e' a coisa que mais gosto de fazer com as minhas criacoes.

Voces nao acham esse passarinho a coisa mais fofa?

A foto nao mostra muito bem mas,

eu esborrifei tinta cinza na 'lua' para dar uma cor a ela.

 The card picture shows a bright blue, but in real life it's more of a green-blue.

All the blues and greys were pretty much based on the Mood Board by WPlus9 Challenge.

It was very sunny this morning when I was taking the pics....

Materials Used:

Stamps from WPlus9, Lawn Fawn

Dies from Sizzix

Inks from Rangers

Spritzer from Stampin'Up

Markers from Stampin'Up

Patterned Papers and Cardstocks from SSS Card Kit

My challenges are:

Have a blessed week.
