Good evening beautiful friends,

Hope you are all well, playing and having fun in your craft room! :):)

Tonight I have two projects to share with you and I hope you'll like them. Firstly a tag I created a while back using some of the new Prima goodies! They are really AWESOME and you can find them in my shop here

And some close-ups:

The second project is a page/layout I created in my Vintage Stories altered book. I recorded most of the process, but something went wrong when I uploaded it to YouTube and all the explanatory text disappeared, so sorry about that. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure out all the steps.

Enjoy! :)

Valentines for my sweetheart and Nature mini book

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 11:27:00 +0000

Hi stampers,

Hope everyone had a wonderful and cheerful Valentine's Day!

I don't know how your craft room is looking like right now, but mine is looking as if a bomb hit it!LOL
Ink pads, stamps, punches, papers ( and lots and lots of fun) everywhere :) and the reason for all this mess is what I'll show you in just few seconds.
Few days ago, thinking what little valentine to give my hubby this year, I had an idea: what if I'll make him a nature themed mini book? Knowing how much he enjoys the outdoors I thought this will be a perfect little gift for him. Sooo, I rolled up my sleeves and I worked like a mad woman (LOLOL) for the next two days, but I had it ready for the Valentine's Day! Woohoo!!!

And of course I made him a card as well and a little heart "hot air balloon".

Hope you'll enjoy watching these projects as much as he did. :)

Vintage Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:25:00 +0000

Good Evening Y'All,

Came back from a lovely trip to London with my hubby. It was just FAB and well deserved too!! We visited lots of wonderful places like The British Museum and The National Gallery, the lively and picturesque Apple Market in the vicinity of the famous Covent Garden...
As much as I like where we live now ( and I do, I really do!), I must admit I left London with a big, BIG sigh!

Now back to my craft room, I have a little bunch of cards I would like to share with you.
First a very simple Christmas card, yet effective and elegant, with a vintage feel added to it.

Here are the Stampin' Up! products I have used for this project:

                     * Very Vanilla card stock (106549/ 124301)
                     * Cherry Cobbler card stock ( A4 121681 and 12"x 12" 124272)
                     * Early Espresso card stock ( A4 121686 and 12"x 12" 124276)
                     * Baja Breeze cardstock ( 116207)
                     * Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Baja breeze Classic Stampin' Pad (126974, 126966 and 126960)
                     * Ornament Keepsakes( wood mount 128048 or clear mount 128051)
                     * Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies ( 127816)
OR, you can buy the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle ( wood mount bundle 129949 or clear mount bundle 129950) that includes 2 sets of stamps and the framelits for a 15% discount. Isn't this just GREAT???

I must confess that I'm totally in love with them, I can't use them enough! Such a FANTASTIC quality, so versatile and wonderful!
                     * Lacy Brocade embossing folder ( 127819)

This is another Christmas card I finished.

For this one I used:
                      * Whisper White, Early Espresso and Baja Breeze card stock ( 106550/124302, 121686/124276 and 116207)
                      * Baja Breeze, Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy Classic Stampin' Pad ( 126960, 126974 and 126971)
                      * Whisper White Craft Pad (101731)
                      * Heat & Stick Powder (100625)
This powder is AWESOME!!! Simply a must have! ( Aren't they ALL a must have for us???LOL) You can add glitter nowto the most intricate designs with ease and get PERFECT, crisp results!
                      * Decorative Label Punch (120907)
                      * Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003) and the Gorgeous
                      * Open Sleigh Stamp Set ( wood mount 126460 and clear mount 126462).

And now, because very soon will be my sister-in-law's Birthday ( Breda, don't read this! :)), I made a Birthday card with matching envelope for her.

Here you can see more details. Hope you like them.
