Housewarming card...

Look at this darling card I made for one of my lovely friends house warming party.. I used my wild card cartridge to create the card and envelope, I added lots of little details using several dies and punches to create the items..The door is the envelope for the card how cute ha.. I couldn't resist stamping some wood grain on the front! The lil banner was made with the new SU punch pack , I just can't get enough of those lil guys they are so cute.. This card was so much fun to create the colors are so bright and fun it just makes me SMILE!! :)   

Here I took a close up of the front door, it came out a bit blurry as i took it with my iPhone! But I just wanted to give a view of the cute lil sign I made with the families name ! Too cute ha.. You can also see all the cute detail I added, the owl in the tree is adorable and the lil ladybug in the grass too..

I hope you enjoy peeking as much as I did creating it.. until next time..

Club cards with a shabby chic feel...

We had another successful club day and a wonderful lunch that Rebeca hosted for us! Every month the hostess of that month has to provide a lunch and beverage , and let me tell you it was D'Lish! Thank you Rebeca for the awesome ceviche and yummy drinkies!! So the first card we did is this lovely Mother's day card, we used the SU "Beau Chateau" DSP and the new edgelits dies and EF to match, the little envelope was made with the petal card double punch , isn't it just so cute!! Perfect to tuck a secret little something for Mom.

Take a look at the inside of this card isn't so pretty! I really love how this came out.(wink)!!
This next one is a cute welcome baby card that I just love. It's so soft and pretty just as new babies are!! All cards were done with the same DSP as a group of four, today I only have three of the four as I didn't take a photo yet of the other !! I will try to add later!

And for the last one we did a free card where everyone could do their own twist on the card using the "Beau Chateau" side notes, I used two of the smaller ones in the pack, the one that says Family and the postage stamp with the French Rooster on it!
Here is a close up of the cute "side notes"!! I hope you enjoyed your visit and the cards!! Thanks for stopping by.. tu amiga Kat..

My Daughters 28th "Tea Party" B-day ....

Hello chica's it's been a while I know, I have just dropped out of the blogging world, and I am sorry (wink ^.~ ) but today I have a quick post to share with you all.. Yesterday we celebrated my daughters b-day with a fabulous Tea Party it was such a great time and the ladies dressed so pretty it was great seeing everyone so lovely in their "Tea Time Attire" I have added a picture of myself on the left and my daughter on the right and her really good friend behind us! It was a bit of a scare early in the morning prepping for the event as the weather was not so great but fortunately the weather improved throughout the morning. Thankfully we were able to enjoy the garden !! To encourage the ladies to dress up I stated that there would be a " Best Dressed Prize" to be won.. and here I have posted what I created for one lucky winner. I used some pretty shabby chic paper from SU and a wire dress form that I got at M's and with a some tulle and a hot glue gun I went at it and created this cute dress with purse and all!! I created the purse simply by cutting out some felt with a teapot shaped die and gluing the two pieces together and adding some fiber fill to puff out the purse a little, added some cute flowers made with some punched out flowers and there you have it a Tea Queen to display in your home!! I hope you ladies like it I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Thank you for your time, and have a lovely Sunday afternoon, until next time chica's ...

My Christmas Casita..

Happy Holidays to all my blog friends, so sorry I have been absent for such a long time but I will try my best to get back into the groove of posting some of my work! Its just been a crazy year and now that it's close to the end I can only hope that the coming year is a better one!

So enough of that.... today I have a little decoupage house that I decorated all up in some fun vintage theme papers along with fun glass glitters, trims, beads, and a few goodies here and there.. I hope you like it, I just love the way it came out! I have been eyeing these lil houses for a while and finally made myself get to work on one !! Thank you Paper tales for carrying these cute casitas !! So here is the result.. Here is a close up of the banner that hangs in front, it's draped with some bakers twine . I made some cute little rosettes for the eaves of the house and trimmed them with some glass glitter. This is just a view of the cute lil bottle brush tree that I bleached from a dark green to this lovely cream shade to fit just perfect with my color scheme. This lil reef I also bleached from a dark green to fit right in with my casita!! I just love how they turned out . Below is one of the sides isn't it just so cute... I cut out the Santa and his Reindeer and decoupaged them onto the base paper. It's so cute I just love this vintage Santa!! I added lots of clear buttons to the roof and glittered it all up with some clear sparkle glitter and some mica to look like snow!Here is a close up of the back side of the house.. This is the other side of the house.Again I used some vintage images, check out the cute snowman couple! Just adorable! Well Chica's that's it for my little Christmas casita I hope you enjoyed what you have seen thanks for stopping by and I hope to post again soon

Merry Christmas to all with love always ...

Monthly club project, beautiful cards!!

Hola Chica's

Yesterday was another successful club day with the girls every ones cards turned out beautiful.. we had lots of fun creating them! The cards I designed for the girls are using mostly all SU products with the exception of a few embellishments! We made a set of five cards using the Elegant Soiree DSP, Elegant lines EF, Elegance wheel, and Always elegant stamp set! I love using the Suite Series that SU offers it just makes creating projects so much fun! I also used some sentiments from other sets throughout the cards..

Here is the first of five card.


I got my inspiration from the Forever Young cricut cartridge. I love all the girl silhouettes in it.
Here is card two. Isn't it just so cool! I love her sassy dress.

Here is card three. This is the smallest card in the series but it's so cute, just love it for a cute little gift for one of my friends b-days!

Here is a close up of card four. In this class the girls learned how to use Heat Emboss. You can see the detail behind the girl, this was stamped on velum, it gives it such a subtle look I just love it.Here is the full view.. Here is the close up of card five. This one is my favorite! Well honestly I love how they all turned out (wink)! Gave some pizazz to the dress!

Here is the full view of the largest one we did.. I just love it! It's so pretty and for a Mother on her special day this is perfect!

Well Chica's I hope you like all the cards I had to share with you today enjoy and have a great Sunday .... It's gorgeous outside today so I am of to check out the coast! Until next time .

Wedding Shower Gift..

Hola chica's.. Thought I would share this recipe box I made for a friends wedding shower! I was inspired by this really pretty apron that I purchased for her that had all the pretty blue hues in it, totally her style! My thought was to make her a basket full of goodies for her kitchen and what better personalized gift than a cute lil recipe box to match!! So I purchased an unfinished wooden box from Michael's and just dry brushed it with some acrylic paints and some ranger stains. I used some stazon ink to personalize the wood box on the back here is the first picture. I didn't want to paint the inside so I just did the edges and left the inside natural. I made some blank recipe cards to go inside with a scene at each tab of type of food! You can see the tab that says "breads" on it..

Here is a view of the front of the box! I painted right over the hinge too.

For the top of the box I found these really cool jewelry charms in the perfect colors and simply attached them to the box with a small ring and used hot glue so they wouldn't move. what a perfect match ha (smile)!!

Here is the whole basket, on the right you can see the pretty apron with all the pretty blues in it..and my lil box was a great addition to the gift basket, I really like that it has something homemade in it from me to her and hopefully she will Cherish it for many years to come..(wink!)

Well chica's I hope you like my post today! Thanks for stopping by and until next time..
