Congrats Melisa & Andy!

Hi everyone, hope had a great weekend. Here's a tag I designed for a wedding that took place today at a local winery. Angie, one of our school secretaries is the mother of the groom. I previously created these tags for Angie's mom.

You can see the other tags in the background. I created a little over 100 tags for their wedding favor containers. In Stampin' Up colors, Melisa's colors were Elegant Eggplant and Rose Red. She also had a gray/silver color in her wedding decor, so I heat embossed the small silver heart. The shape of the tag is a Silhouette Studio tag design that I modified. (That's what I love most about Silhouette Studio, you can easily modify or delete features from any design.)


I cut the bottom portion of the tag from Whisper White cardstock using the Silhouette cutter. I stamped a portion of the Medallion stamp using Elegant Eggplant ink on white paper and glued it to the Elegant Eggplant tag. I cut a 3/8" strip of textured Rose Red paper and glued it to the middle of the tag. The text was created using Microsoft Word and a font called Marriage Script that I got it here. I cut the half circles using a paper trimmer and a 1.75" circle punch. I then glued the half circles to the tag. The finishing touch was Love heart that was attached using some foam tape.


Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day - My Mom's Card

To you moms, Feliz Dia de Las Madres! Hope you have a great day.

This is the card I made for my mom. It's currently in the mail on it's way to New Mexico, so I'll have to tell my mom to check my blog to "see" her card. Love you, Mom!

This card uses the cute banner stamp from Practicing Creativity. I stamped the banner 3 times on white cardstock. On one of the images, I cut off the banners, so I could attach the Love hearts from Stampin' Up. This card as well as yesterday's card was shown on the Cards Magazine blog on Friday.

Thanks for visiting!

I Love You Mom

It's the start of another weekend. I hope you are all doing well. Tomorrow will be busy with school-related stuff and my in-laws visiting. My husband and son are also looking forward to seeing Iron Man 2.

Here's my second attempt at making a Mother's Day card for my mom. I like this card a lot.

I love the Raspberry Fizz felt from Papertrey Ink! It die cuts really well. I like the new Fillable Frame #3 die. I also used the banner stamp from Look Up by Practicing Creativity. "Mom" was stamped with some very old Hero Arts alphabet stamps. The chipboard is velvet-covered from Anna Griffin; very soft. I love that heart stamp from Stampin' Up!

Happy Mother's Day

Hola! Here's a clean and simple Mother's Day card I created based on this gorgeous card Jennifer McGuire posted (the second one in her blog post). I like my card, but I love Jennifer's a lot more. I should've stamped the sentiment higher on my card.

I've got two more Mother's Day cards to show you, but I'll have to do that later. Time to pack lunch for Kalino. See ya!
