Kristina Werner Color inspiration # 40!!


Sorry I have not post anything is such a long time... I just went back to work and now I don't have as much time as I would love to.

I was also patiently waiting for Kristina's Color Inspiration and here it is.
What a great color combination! I actually used these colors to make a group of cards. Please check them out.
Closed, showing the front.

Open and showing the cards inside!

This is my favorite of the cards!
I really like these colors, they are sort of citrus-y. I agree with Kristina!...



This is my second favorite one!

I used My Minds Eyes paper, Chipboard ( I dont remember the company) and no stamp! How crazy is that!? I also used paper punches, markers... I am trying to think really hard about the materials I used but they don't seem to be coming up in my mind.

Please check, enjoy and please leave a comment!

Hugs!

4EVER

This is a card I made before our Christmas break. Ian and Pauline got married at a beach. I never saw her dress but it was funny to learn that her dress was the same color the ribbon I used!!! how crazy is that? I bet that if I tried to plan the card based on her dress color it would have never happened!

This card was a group card so, meaning a card a group of people would share and signed fro Ian ansd Pauline. Ana (a friend) added couple of handmade paper inside so friends from work could sing the card.

Hugs and enjoy it!

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration #39

Wow!!! great colors, ah? I had to scratch my head a couple of time today... I have to admit it was fun, fun, fun trying to make a card with these colors

... I am loving this card and might keep working tonight in another card with the same colors.
I used SU retired set Smorgasborders, FX ribbon. I love this ribbon I don't get to use a lot, the THANKS letters.. where given to me some time ago, I also used SU my favorites set ( I think that is the name of it).
uhmm not much to say tonight except that I am tired! ehehhehe see yah guys!!!
Hugs!!!

Jet lag and a couple of cards!













Hello everyone,

Sorry I have not been around for a while. We travel for three weeks to the amazing country of Thailand (happyland). We had a great time! but we were left with a big jet lag. After being back home for 5 days we are still weaking up at 3 or 4 in the morning. I am very happy Tim is a morning person just like me... we get up (we don't have much of a choice) and start our day super early, having breakfast together, something we don't get to do it often and so on.


Okay sooo... inspite being very sleepy I get to do couple cards during the say when I am still wide awake... so, here are couple of "mommy" cards... I think they look great, what do you think?





































Well, and there they are what you think? Hope you like them and enjoy then and find some sort of inspiration.


Hugs!

Kristina Color Inpiration # 34


Hola, hola!

I have made this card for a great person and a good friend! She is moving next week to a different country and eventhough I don't see her often, I know I will miss her a bunch and hope we meet again someday. I hope she enjoys it, actually, I made a set of 4 note cards for her as a gift. I will show them to you later in the week.

For now I just want to show you one of the four cards I made for my friend. This cards were inspired by the template Kristina, once shared with all of us, I will try and look the link so you can have it too. So I hope you like it! Here it is.


Cute, ah? I really loooove this paper, I have used design paper from Special Occasions.

I keep telling you and myself this, it is hard to create a card with stamps that I have used once and again, and again, again and again. I am getting more as soon as I can. I am mentioning this because of the sentiment on this card. It was hand written, which is not so great looking, (Sigh)

I am sorry I was babbling hehehe. Please, enjoy it and let me know what you think, leaving a comment.


Many, many hugs!!!

P.S. Sorry it took me a while, but I finally found the template! Hope you enjoy it!

Have a Very Merry Christmas

Hola!
It's been a very long time since I published anything... I feel like I say this every time I update the blog hehehe... I have to apologize.
Anyway, tonight I am bringing you a couple of cards. My idea was to make them so I could place cute pics inside somewhere, what do you think of these?

I have created this window card, thinking about bright colors and very Christmas like with trees and snowflakes. I loved making this one, it was very fun and it is the second time I have ever used buttons. I might change the buttons to something else since it might be too bulky to mail it.

I was trying to create something not so Christmasy but Christmasy, you know what I mean? hehehe. Christmas colors, but not necessarily the season symbols, except for the embossed trees on the right of the card, really hard to see in this pic.

With this one I tried to get the season symbols with soft colors, the only problem with this one is that I didn't finished it. I had the idea but then got distracted and "puff" it was gone... nothing that I tried I liked... I think I am just getting tire of using the same stamps set over and over again. Anyway, what can I do to finish this card? Any ideas or suggestions?
Actually, you know what? I think that would be a great idea for a challenge, don't you think? to finished a card...uhmmmm... I wonder if there are challenges like this. Okay okay I am getting distracted once again.
Like them? Please let me know.
Many hugs.

Sending Love at Christmas!

Good morning everyone!

First of I am very happy I made it to the top ten on the Color Inspiration #32 at Kristina Werner! I didn't really mean to, I though I didn't have a chance since it took me forever to come up with a great idea but... hey I made it!!!!!!

I have always wanted to do this kind of card since I saw Jennifer McGuire making a fab one. Mine is a bit different because I am not dry embossing and I do not have the same stamps, or materials since they are soo hard to find them here! anyway... Here it is. I hope you like it... and as usual, if you have any suggestions or improvements, I am all ears, sorry, eyes!



I almost forgot, I love how the ribbon looks on this card, but If I am going to mail it, I wonder if the envelop would end up tearing or something! any suggestions about that? I know I can replace the ribbon with something else, I just really like it! what do you do when you have to mail a cards with a nice ribbon and bow or nod?

Many, many hugs!

PD: What do you think Kerry?

Baby cards?...Mommy Cards!?


Uhmmm well, I had no idea babies had their own " business" cards!!! They are actually called Mommy Cards.This is sooo new to me... but you know I think it is still very cute and fab!

This is how I understand they work: when you go to a B-day party you prepare your gift and you add one of these cute cards to the gift so the parents and the kid will know who brought it!

Sometimes theses cards would be a family card, where all the family member have their name on as well as their contact info... clever and cute, ah? I wish I had a super printer to get them done with lots of color and amazing graphics... (sigh).


A friend of mine asked me (long time ago, I have to admit) if I'd do a couple for her and so I told her I would make some samples for her... not that I forgot about her I was just busy ( I am telling you, Ashley!!) anyhow! tell me what yah think, would you!? Any suggestions?

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration # 32

Good morning everyone!

I am having a big trouble getting ideas. I thought I had a great inspiration from other card maker in this Color Inspiration but ohhh boy I was soooo wrong! Anyway... I have tried so hard and this is what I came up with. Check them out...

This first card was pretty easy to come up with the idea I actually had it in my mind for a while... it was funny to see people with the same ideas... not really hard to make very simple too... before I thought it was a great idea but now.. I am not so sure... what do you guys think? It definitely needs something, I just don't know what.


Now this is more traditional, more layouty like, you know what I mean? well I got no help from any card I have seen for this one. I just went for the safe traditional-nothing-new kind of card... ( sigh) not very inspired lately I guess... sniff, sniff...

Please leave a message and let me know what you think, and what should I do to get my inspiration back. Many hugs!!!
