Quinceñera Card

We are invited to a Quinceñera tomorrow for my niece.  This is a coming out party for a girl who is turning 15.  It's a big event with a mass, dinner and reception and a formal affair for the "Quinceñera."

I wanted to make a special card for Brianna and searched around for the right design.  Thanks to a friend of mine, I was able to get my hands on a stamped image of a girl in a formal gown.  I believe this is from the Stampin Up Collection.  I colored her in tangerine orange, since those are the colors of the attendant's dresses.  I used my copic markers to color the face, dress and hair.  The embellishments on the dress were done in yellow Stickles with small rhinestones.  The bouquet, crown and shoes were also done in stickles.  I wasn't happy with how the dress looked.  I thought it needed some gussying up so I found some sample fabric at JoAnn Fabric of Tangerine organza with rhinestones.  I cut the fabric the same size as the dress and attached it to the image. 

I used brown cardstock as the base for the card and layered 6 different Recollections paper on top of the brown.  I stared with the Orange Dots, Rust Shimmer, White Embossed paper, Ambrosia Mandarin, Gold Cardstock topped with a translucent felt type paper with a shimmer. 

I cut the image out and attached her to the top layer.  I cut a circle from the Rust Shimmer and attached the Quince 15 Años to that and layered that on the image corner.  I used a copper ribbon I had lying around and tied a bow and attached it to the top of the card. 

I also decorated the envelope to match using some of the leftover paper and adding adhesive rhinestones to a circle punch.  I love how this turned out.

The Card

Graduation Thank you Cards!

I finally finished the thank you cards last night.  I used red Bazille cardstock for the card with a layer of white.  I stamped a graduation cap from Stampin Up's Tassle Time.  I used Versa Ink on black paper and cut out the hat and attached with foam dot to add depth.  I used a sentiment from Fiskar's So Much Thanks clear stamp set. 

Butterflies

I'm going back to work in a few days and wanted to get some crafting in before I started.  I have this butterfly stamp from Hero Arts that I just love.  I also love playing with my copics so I thought, why not make a few cards to keep on hand, just because.  I hope you enjoy!

Butterfly

This is a card that I made for Mother's Day!  I used Hero Arts Butterfly stamp and painted it with Copic Markers.  I also used Stickles glitter paint on the butterfly.  I stamped the sentiment with black ink on white cardstock and used the colored stamp ink to color the paper.  The scroll was stamped and colored with Perfect Pearls.

Mother's Day Card

This is a card I made for Mother's Day last year.  I stamped the hydrangea, from Rubber Stampede on white cardstock and colored it with copic markers.  I then hi-lighted the center of the flowers with yellow stickles glitter paint and stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts in black ink and coated it with clear glitter.  I attached the white stamped cardstock onto a light blue background and and attached both of those onto the dark blue card.

Valentine Treat Bags

I made these cute treat bags for my daughter's class at school.  Took white cardstock and stamped the heart and sentiment then colored the heart with copics.  I added the Cotton Candy Stickles around the edge, filled each cello bag with treats and used double sided tape to adhere the topper to the bags.

So cute and easy!

Soccer Player

I've been doing alot of football players with my bricks and got an order to do a soccer player.  Wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but I think it turned out pretty cute.  They wanted the Chivas colors.  Let me know what you think!
