Blog Hop: Calentando motores con Latina Crafter

Bienvenidas al Blog Hop Calentando motores con Latina Crafter

Esta vez quise participar desde mi antiguo blog, buaaa, hace DOS años que NO subía nada y fue también otro Blog Hop, vamos a ver si este año cambia. Si es la primera vez que me visitas, te invio a darte una vueltita, hay cositas lintas desde el 2007 (lo abrí en el 2005, pero no publiqué nada, jeje)

Como dije en el blog de Latina Crafter "Quiero primero aprovechar este momento para dar gracias a mi Señor por todas sus bendiciones, a mi familia por todo lo que me soportan, jeje!, a mis manufactureros, sin ellos no habrían productos de calidad, a mis ilustradoras por su talento y su compromiso, a mis queridas DT porque sin ellas WOW, que sería de Latina Crafter, a ustedes mis clientas queridas, por todo su apoyo a la marca y por compartir con nosotras su talento en los retos y actividades!!! GRACIAS de corazón!!! Es para mi una gran bendición contar con TODAS ustedes."

Aquí les presento mi proyecto, un lindo mini álbum, binder, para anotar las BENDICIONES 2015!! sii, como un registro, es una nueva tradición que quiero comenzar, ya que las nenas están más grande. Cada mes tiene un "kraft bag" donde pondremos tarjetias con las bendiciones de cada semana  y esa será nuestra actividad a fin de año leer nuestras pequeñas bendiciones, que en un momento fueron tremendas pero que a fin de año puede ser que ya las hayamos olvidado, ustedes saben como es, verdad? siempre es fácil olvidar lo bueno y recordar lo malo!! Espero el proyecto te inspire!!

Vista de lado:

Para las que no saben, Latina Crafter es mi pequeño negocio y por eso decidí participar también desde mi blog personal, que hace tiempo no lo actualizaba con mis creaciones.

Primero les comparto una notita para una amiga especial, en esta usé el Digi Gratis que regalé a todas las participantes y también usé dos sets adicionales: Feliz día del amor y Mi dulce amiga.

Luego hice un set de mini tarjetas, las que me conocen saben que me encantan!!! y para este usé el otro DIGI Gratis que regalé y el set de Feliz día del amor, me encantan esos corazones!!! Además le di un toque especial con el twine que me gusta tanto!!!

Si estás siguiendo el Blog Hop debes haber venido del blog de Arte Scrap by Diana

I am using one set that is NOW available in Mabelle's Etsy Store here!! I have to admit that I cheat a bit, lol!! This image was colored by my sweet daughter!! Oh please don't tell!! When I decided to do the card for the hop I got busy helping them to do cards for their uncle so I took that image and did my card, lol!!! Don't laugh, probably she is not going to laugh about it! I did the cloud background with chalks and the card using the Latina Crafter's First Sketch!! The paper is also designed by Mabelle R.O. I just love her!

Now some exciting news!! there is Blog Candy for this hop!! so be sure to participate!!

Blog Candy: One winner will receive 2 digis from Mabelle's Digi Etsy Store! The winner will be randomly chosen from those who link a TAC {only} Mabelle card/project.

Today is Little Cupcake Day!

Yes, Today is Blog Hop!! and look who is feature!! this cute stamp set!! is Little Cupcake!! yes one of Mabelle's new sets!! I know I have told you this before, but I am sooo happy to play more with it!!

Anyway about my project! If you know me you know that I love mini stuff! right? Well so I since I have done a couple of stuff with this Sweet set! I want to do something different! I started picking the images I haven't use that much! (the Cake in the base, the Lollipop and the candle)and I made this set of three mini cards (they are 3 X 4 and I love this size because you get 6 cards from a 12 X 12 cardstock, isn't that COOL?) Then I just have to pair it with the Mia's Cottage paper since this set is also designed by my dear friend Mabelle!! don't you love her designs? and if you get to know her you will love her as well!

What I did! For the first card, I stamped the cake with the base and then did paper piece with it so I can get that sweet image inside the square from Sweet goodies (yes, I eat cake today! lol), I colored it using my Impress Markers and add some stickles on it and I used pop dots for the image!, for the second card I used the Lollipop stamp (is so lovely!!) I colored it doing lines with the three colors I used and of course I add stickles too! this image was stamped inside the square using the mask technique!. For the third card I also did paper piecing (there was no way to stamp this one inside the square!) and mount it on pop dots. Please let me know if you have any question!

Let give it a try to this project, go shopping here. What you need? Little Cupcake, Sweet Goodies, Mia's Cottage and Mega Scalloped Square punch. I know you have lots of white cardstock but just in case here you can find them too!

Be sure to check this talented angels that play with this set as well! Hope you find inspiration and get in love with it as I am!
