Scrappin' Mojo

Besides making scrapbook pages with your Simply Scrappin' Kit, you can do some cards too... Using the sketch from Mojo Monday, I made a no-ink card with the kit Love Sparkles:

 

As extras you may need, like in this case, Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon and dimensionals, or even some of the Square Fire Rhinestone brads, now on sale (not in picture)

 

Or maybe just a quick, no-ink card (this one doesn't follow the sketch):

 

Whatever you decide to do with your Kit, the results will be always fantastic! (and this is a word I don't use much)... You know where to find them!

Feliz dia y regresen mañana para otro interesante reto de las Divas...

Circles of love

Suzie will have to correct me here... I think the original idea came from Bonnie... In the meanwhile these are the pages that my mom and I did on Friday.

 

I'm using the Simply Scrappin' Kit Love Sparkles, available at my store with the number 113918. The colours of the kit are Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, So Saffron, and Whisper White

 

You'll need all your circle punches too.

Remember that you can also make cards with these kits.

Que tengan una feliz semana,

P.S. I took the pictures at the same time, and the second picture just did want to show the real colours... So sorry, about that... but the kit is very nice though, give it a try :D

Hello from Korea

Mr. D. went to Korea and brought me a package of cute stickers... He's sending some pictures of the trip to his mom in Belgium, and I'm in charge of making the card to put them inside.  I found a sketch that would be a good way to show the stickers. The sketch comes from Clean and Simple.

 

Card stock: Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo. Extras: 3/4" and 1" circle punches, Bermuda Bay polka-dot ribbon, dimensionals, rub-ons.

 

If you don't see the links to blogs, or you need more information about anything and everything, I have a Google search box ---->  Did you know that by using Google you're actually helping your brain?  My mom loves the magazine Prevention, she told me about it, and there's an interesting article about this. I won't make you Google it, just click here to go to it :D

Feliz domingo!

Let's do lunch

An easy, and quick no-ink card, this sketch is perfect when you need many... many cards. It comes from Stamping 411

Unfortunately, the only available materials from this card are the Whisper White card stock, and the dimensionals... But you can find new rub-ons, and beautiful Designer Series Papers in the new catalogue!

 

 

Hasta pronto,

Love you...

Just a simple Saturday card, based on Makeesha's Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #10.

 

I try not to see the sample made with the sketch... but when I'm done with my card, then I go and peek around, and I guess this sketch calls for the Scallop Edge Punch :D   And once the circle scissor plus is out... you can just keep going.

The stamp set is Love You Much, and I added the flower brad, for a little detail.  I added some dimensionals too. The card stock is: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, and Chocolate Chip... the rest of the materials are no longer available.

 

If you're in Canada, my store is at your service 24/7!

Que disfruten su dia!

Roses in Mambo and Bay (DCBD 135)

Here's the new sketch for you. Join us this week at the DCBD's blog.

Now that Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze are retired... I'll just use some of the new In-Colors to stamp the flowers. So using Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay, with the roses from the set Fifth Avenue Floral, here's my version for this week's challenge:

Paper: Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White - Extras: Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon, ribbon slider from Silver Hodgepodge Hardware, dimensionals

I'm sure you'll have plenty of ideas for this sketch... so when you're done, don't forget to take a picture and leave a link on the blog so we can all see what you did!  And make sure you check out what the other Divas have made...

See you on Mr. Linky!

Hasta pronto,

P.S. This is the first time in "In-Color" history that I like all 6 of them. If you like them too, make sure you get them at my store, open 24/7... And get the markers too... very very useful... the only requirement is that you have to be in Canada ;)

Firendly words and grommets

I made this card for Reto Latino #12

I thought the sketch was good to add some Jumbo grommets, so I used my 1/2" circle punch to make the holes... and the grommets fit perfectly.

Wheel: Friendly Words - Ink: Chocolate Chip - Paper: Whisper White, Bella Rose, Parisian Breeze - Extras: 1 1/4" square punch, Chocolate Chip poly-twill ribbon

 

The only "but" in using the punch is that, either you put the grommets on the edge of the card (like in this case), or on a separate piece of card stock... However, I like that you don't damage the paper like when you just press them into the card stock. And you can go through 2 layers of it easily with the punch.

Voila! Now you know, and now you can easily add jumbo grommets to your project!

Hasta al ratito... regresa para un nuevo reto de las Divas...
