"Happy Birthday" - a super cute card featuring Ellen Huston!

Hi friends!! :)
My mom's birthday is coming so I decided to create a birthday card!
I mean it's not only a simple card.. it has to be the cutest, the funniest, the most colorful.. !

I really wanna this card to be super special for my mom! 

You know.. i love this set by EH and did you see the new Pin-Sights challenge? It's all about pretty colors, circular shapes and i love it!! I was inspired by all those pretty things to create this cute scene.

If you are wondering.. it's all about masking! I stamped lots and lots of balloons and then i die cut them with their coordinate dies.

I stamped 2 other balloons ( one of a kind!) on some "masking paper".. I don't know how it's called.. post -it?! I fussy cut them and i kept the "outside" part, so that i can stamp my image and safe the white borders.

I stamped my cute little hippo several times - a part on each balloons - and then I made my own puzzle! I did the same thing with the bird! 

Then I added my sentiment, some black twine to re-create a balloons scene and some PPP sequins! 

I know.. sometime my english it's a little weird, but I hope I was able to write all the steps clearly..! But if you have some questions, or if you would like a photo - tutorial.. let me know and i'll do everything to make it happen! :) 

Oh.. and feel free to correct all my english mistakes.. you'll help me!! ihih!! :)

"Furry kisses" .. to you!

Hi there and welcome back! 
It's late tonight because I was watching Kristina's Live event on youtube - lovely event!! :) - but I wanna show you this cute little card I made.. with these pretty cats by Simon Says Stamp!
Oh.. she designed them for SSS! Soooo cute! :) 

I love cats stamps!! I don't know why .. i mean all the critters are always cute but I think that cats and kitties are super pretty and funny!! :)  These ones by SSS are perfect, i love this mini-set, because it's cheap, has lots of details and it's super versatile even if you may think that these cats are fixed in this position. I made cute projects stamping only one of this 2 cats, i stamped only their tails with a little heart to create a lovely scene.. yeah.. you only have to take some times and stretch your stamp! :)

Lately i'm improving my technique with the embossing powder.. you may notice I do not emboss so much on my projects ( most of the time I don't use this technique at all) and that's because lots of time it doesn't work. Sometime I don't press very well my pigment ink, sometimes I put too much powder on it or too little! 

But this time I have been lucky! I love how it turned out! :) 

So I share with you.. ahah!! :)
