Hi there and happy saturday!! :)
Today i have a sweet and cute card for my mom :) ihih!! 



These bears are the cutest!! Today i want them to be Polar bears so i just add some shades with my C1 copic marker and i blend it with the colorless blender.
I created my own backround drawing some pink stripes and i added some sequins, gold hearts and twine.
I glued my sentiment and the bears with some foam tape and voilà! :)


I also add some glossy accents on their super cute ..i don't know how to say in english.. long face?! I think that this make them super puffy and original! :)

Hello friend!

Hi there!!
Today I have a friendship / autumn / texture themed card to show you... here's what i created! :)



You know how much i love this cute foxy by Mama Elephant! It's super super pretty! :)
I also had so much fun creating my background and all the leaves!! 
For the background i decided to add some texture to my gold paper with glossy accents, yeah i just put little tiny dots of glossy accents here and there and i let it dry completely.. it turned out super original! Didn't it?! Love this new way to use my glossy accents, it gives a super shiny look, texture.. i love it!!
For my leaves i finally used a paper i got some times ago..it's like a super super fine paper made of corn! It's Wow!! I also used some vellum and some white paper inked with my distress ink "Antique Linen". Then I added a gold twine and a little bow and i glued my forest friend with some foam tape. Lots of dimension and details!!
Here's a closer look..


Love this gold twine i found at my local store, it's my fave and i always use it for so many projects!!

Are you ready to Halloween?!

Welcome friends!!
Today was a super cold and foggy day here.. Autumn is really here and Halloween is coming!! :)
I had some time to create these two goodie bags for my cousins and i filled them up with lots and lots of candies!! Yeah..I think i'll probably have to make some more empty goodie bag so they can still go and do trick or treat after school! Ahaha!! More crafty fun for me! YAY! :)




It's a super simple and easy design and I really have some relax time doing these. I love sponging distress inks here and there and drawing dots! Ihih!! :)
And kids are always fascinated by the heat-embossing effect, the foam tape (I used to give to my spiders and bats some dimension!) and all the details ..after they have finished all the candies of course!! ahah!! :)
Challenges: 






Make the day special challenge theme this month is 
"Anything but a card"as you see in this picture above!!





Be sure to check put all my Halloween projects, click here and here! 
Hope you like these goodie bags and thank you so so sooo much for stopping by!
Have an amazing week!

Have a magical Halloween!

Hi friends and happy sunday! 
Today i have another project featuring Lawn Fawn and yeah..it's all about Halloween! :) 



I'm in love. Seroiusly. Ahah! These bats are behinde cuteness!! 
For my Goodie Bag i created a super shiny and galaxy look for my bacground with my distress inks and perfect pearls and.. it's super super magical!! :)
I masked a portion with a circle die of masking paper to create a giant moon for my bats to stand in front and i drew some stars with a white gel pen.
Then i created my first magic wand!! :)
Love those star dies, all the dimensions included in the set are perfect for so many projects!!
Here's a detail..


Here you can really see the beautiful effect of perfect pearl! 
I completed everything with a silver ribbon, some foam tape and the lovely sentiment from another set by Lawn Fawn called "Monster Mash".

"Thinking of you" a pretty card featuring Avery Elle!

Welcome! 
Today i have a pretty and girly card featuring two of my favourite stamps by Avery Elle: these cute and sweet bears!! 
Here's what i created..


I love a card that Kristina Werner created some days ago.. She showed how to create a plaid background and i loved it!! So i took my watercolors and gave it a try! She used red and light black for her Christmas card .. instead of those colors i choose pink and super super light brown to enter the new Avery Elle Hearts You Challenge that's all about.. pink!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!
