I'm Back!!!! ...with some Splashing Puddles for Spring!

Hello My Dear Crafty and Stamper Friends:

After several days in bed with a very nasty flu/Walking Pneumonia... I am back here at my blog!
I have never seeing my hospital so crowded!!!...everybody was having the same symptoms, it is becoming an epidemy around here and my doctor was overwhelmed!!!

During the whole time I felt horrendously, with fever, cough, chills and zero energy to do anything...I spend so many days in bed that I almost forgot how to walk :)...I guess with "age" these type of flu's get you worse and worse!

I am slowly recuperating, not a 100% strong...
My routine is starting little by little taking place again but OMG, I have so many "things" piled up in my "TO Do" list...

So let's start with one of them!...my postings in my blogs....
The last time, that I blogged was during the "Blog Blitz" of Memory Box with the NEW winter 2015 release..., unfortunately I could not continue with the postings and the prizes for that week :(

So for this week, my plan is to continue showing you some of the NEW dies that I used in some cards...This particular project was posted at the French blog : "Un Brin de Créativité" for Memory Box.

This card is for Spring with the NEW and so cute die "splashing puddles", great die to make awesome backgrounds...


HOW TO...
Simply, Die cut your different dies (more than once in many cases...)
The butterflies were cut apart from the "Kensington border" die...
First, Die cut several borders, sponge ink on the areas that you want and then cut with regular scissors each one of the butterflies ...
This is a great way to re-purpose your dies...always stretch the use of your dies!

TIP: double your dies, with 2 different color papers, to give a shadow/dimension effect (see the trees and the banners)...

I want to thank ALL the people participating 
at my "Throwback Challenge" #5...
It is awesome to see this great response 
and support from you!!!

I will be back tomorrow with another post! 
and forgive me If I have not being present at your blogs!...
It is going to take me some time to get back on track!!!

Acetate card with Floating Heart for Valentines

Hello Dear stamper friends:

I am bringing to you on this 2nd day of the Blog Blitz of Memory Box, this acetate card with a floating heart made with the NEW "Vidalia Heart".
Leave me a comment at the Spanish blog: "A crear se Dijo!" and WIN this die!!!

acetate card front with hanging heart for valentines


I started by embossing the rose flowers on the acetate.
Make sure to use heat embossing acetate from "Judikins" (see supplies below), otherwise you will burn the acetate if it is not "heat resistant".

The embossing powder will stick to some areas of your acetate, remove all these particles with a brush before heat embossing.

step 1 embossing on acetate


Make holes on the top of the card and insert the heart.
The Heart will float from the center, it is attached with some bakers twine...
You can write your message on the back of the heart...
