THIS FUN SET

I am not paid by this company to said this , but I do really love this set I think is so much fun to play with ,plus I do love anything related to doll making , I hoe the make more dies and stamps compatible with this one is so much more they can do hint hint 
The paper I used for the hair I already manifest my excitement for the way copic markers look in this paper , the only downside is the paper is very absorbent and it take a tool in the markers , but only won't use it in bug projects.
Also the ink for the blue glasses is good is shinny , do not crackle at all is good check the web for this inks they ship everywhere , is kind of complicated to pay , but the inks are worthy , again not paid add hahaha the only person paying me foe my craft is my husband , is for that sometimes you see I don't used new stuff in my videos , our wallet can keep up with so many craft supplies going out every month , but I try , wink wink .

well I hope if you get this set , you get to play and have as much fun as I did assemble this little girls 

LETTERS LETTERS

A very simple card to star my imagination , because it was in stand by, I was a on vacation , and in my son graduation , busy, busy , and them when I get home , I saw my craft room and I was a little bit lost because I have the great idea to change my craft room in the last to days before to travel , well when I arrive I didn't remember where I put things , after that when I was trying to organize my mind, I get sick like never before in my life ... well maybe when I was little , but never the adult . I get fever ,sore throat, all my body ache , well a week in bed with antibiotics , it was horrible and the week after that I was trying to rebut my body and my mind, because it was a little bit fuzzy , but thank God I am good now and hungry for crafty times 

My son graduation was very pretty, long, but very nice , is a great experience to see all those young people want to be someone in life, he graduated as a fashion designer menswear , I hope he find a job soon.
I also get to see my other son that live in Orlando Florida , and next year is his turn of graduation time. 
my son the live in NYC I hope to see him in December . fingers cross.

NOW about the card ...sorry I stay to much in the personal stuff 
this card the mayor time consuming is the cutting of the letters because the color letters you have to cut them in color and in black if you want then to pop or have a shadow , if to the taste, the rest of the card is very simple , I didn't want to go for a square card paper is for that I decide to cut the paper in the shape that letter give to the card , the other I will say mind consuming was deciding where to place the letters to have some harmony in the card 

Most of the time I don't add in the description area in the video the craft supplies that I am using , is because I believe the you can recreate the card with supplies that you already own , maybe is not going to be the same , but hey is going to be your own creation. 

BLACK LINE ..NO LINE

This was just a experiment to see the difference between cards just a curiosity of mine , but I think the results are good because that way I can see , what I want , if I want a cute clean card or a more cartooning card 
I think playing with all our materials and imagination is so much fun and every time I think of something just to try , I have to do it to see the final results , I try different things before with no such a good results as this one , but some of the bad one , let me good lessons too , and sometimes from our mistakes , you get good results , this two cards I made I just made them because i place with glue one of the items of the card in a black paper by mistake , and after that I cut it , but I couldn't shake out of my head the idea , I did this before but with more strong color in the card .I did like it the thick black borders I maybe try them more in the future , what I being trying a lot is make cards with the measure of 5 and 3/4 I think I like those a little bit more than" standard " cards I like I said before I love big cards full of everything with big images .

In the personal note , my hands still hurting but thank God ,nothing so bad I ca still do my craft ..yeeeaaahhhh 

Soon I will travel to the USA..( 18 hours flight ) huh , but I guess is ok , but the other yuki thing is a promise not to spend to much money in craft (cry cry) because I still have to much stuff the I haven't use , ...but them I remember the we are paying for 3 colleges at the same time , and I said ...Gaby control yourself you don't need it ....but my heart said yes you need it ...but my heart and my brain speak different languages 

WATER COLORING

For this card I decide to used watercolors ,because for me is easy to use watercolors when the stamps have a to going on , I am not good in watercoloring or coloring with comic , but the only way to learn more and more and get a little bit better is to practice , and I found with big images with small details are good to practice watercoloring , I just love this technique I hope one day I get better at it .
If you never try watercoloring , just try is easy than it looks and is so relaxing and the best part you don't have to add pressure to the coloring , for that reason is good for your hands , and how I said in the video the way I found the best for me is to add the color to the conners or border of the image and extend to the rest with a little bit of water . and id you stamp the image with embossing ink and settle with embossing powder the coloring get easier .

I am trying to organize my stamps in a directory to make a easy way to found what I want to do , sometimes I don't remember what I have and some of my stamps get neglected and I never use them , I don't want to have things the I don't going to used if for that the I am trying to get organized with that , I already found 3 stamps the I bought twice , good I have a friend the live close to me that make cards , I can give the  ones I have duplicate  to her . I am tryin not to buy more for some time because I have to many , and I know people want to see new things in the videos , but for real is a lot of many to invest in stamps and die cuts , and I think I have enough for some times , unless I found something the I really really like , but for now I will take it easy . plus I used my craft to have fun and therapy .and trying to compete with the market is crazy , is a new release like every week and each release if you want to buy it is around 500 to 800 dollars and sometimes more, I know is a cheaper way , friends of mine talk a lot about the unbranded stamps and die cuts, but I always also read a lot about the support to small companies , I don't know what to think . if you have a opinion in this matter , please leave a comment , I will appreciate the advice . 

OMG .....NO REALLY OMG

I just fall in love ....well I just fall more in love with this alcohol pearl inks, they work in normal card stock , and they run like butter , of course the have to work they are alcohol base , like copic markers, and yes with can think , they are going to bleed and go everywhere , buy the work perfect , I just get HOOK again with another Tim Holtz product , I just hoping the new colors for this inks coming soon 

for the foil , I don't understand why I don't use this technique more often , is so pretty , I just getting black foil I need to try this with black shiny foil.

very soon I will be on vacation and because is mandatory to get out of Saudi for 14 days I will travel to the state , and I am planning to get a lot of stuff the I can get here in Saudi (my husband do not know about this Sshhh)  . or maybe I can get them but the shopping cost is a killer of hopes to get more stuff .
also in the states is two of my sons I hope I can see them both because one live in Florida and the other in NYC

I also going to London because my son graduates from Westminster University ( I think thats the way to write it ) we are so proud of him ...well we are so proud of all our sons 

I will try to make a lot of videos before going on vacation. not that is important , but is fun to make them. my youngest son said the my videos are a little bit  awkward, but hey nobody is perfect .

well I really really hope you try this , because is like magic, if you don't have a laser printer , take your project to a place where they can print it in laser ink and if you have a laminator , you are all set 

you will have a blast playing with your alcohol pears , everything is shiny , you have not idea how shiny this cards are , and I do love shiny , and for some people this is a good shine because is not stuck in your hands ,face , everywhere , some people do not like glitter for that reason , I don't mind to have pixy dust everywhere in my house .

and for the same reason today I get new glitter glasses in RED 

COFFEE LOVERS

I do love cards with coffee themes , even do I don't drink to much coffee I am more a tea drinker well , maybe I would change the tea for a beer depending of the time of the year, summer in a beach definitely beer , but hey don't get me wrong , coffee make people , people hahaha , I have friends that ids they don't drink their coffee , the are not nice , you have to wait to talk to them after coffee make the magical effect.
This card is simple and I believe is cute , because for her he is the hero of the morning , bringing the coffee to her , if for that both are happy , because after coffee for sure he will get a kiss .

CHALLENGE

COLOR THROWDOWN CHALLENGE

Is being long time the I have not participate in a challenge, but here I am , I decide to go simple and spring with this card , because I believe the colors are perfect to reflect this season and also this challenge have 3 of my favorites color ....well I like a lot of colors , but mint ,aqua and pink ...heart heart .

this card is very fast to make and you can make it in any color you wish, because the rain boots and the tulips are perfect to play with colors, also was fun to make it a little bit dimensional with the boos cut out of fun foam and , I try besides the water color markers, I try the copics and if you blend them with a water brush fill with alcohol ink is perfect blending , but one suggestion , buy the matte foam fun , not the one that is a little bit glossy , is better with the one that look more like sand paper , to said it in one way.

is fun to participated in challenge, not to win, but to create and challenge yourself to see have big you can imagine even  if is a simple card.

HAPPY CANDLES

Hello!
I know long time no see, is because several things are being going on with mi=y health, first I have a pain in my eye and close it or open it was very painful , the doctor said I have sand in my optical nerve ,Mmmm , well I get better with some drops he prescribed, but in the same appointment , he told me I have arthritis , and  because I have only one kidney I can't  take anti-inflammatory medications, he recommended the use of especial globes for the condition and I am waiting to get them soon.

This card is simple , but fun , I think it will be great to wish happy birthday to a kid , is a lot going on in this card , like faces , glitter ,sequences , but you know I like cards with a lot of colors and full of everything I can find in my craft room.

I put faces in this candles , and maybe with can add faces in a lot of stamps that they don't have , right now one of my favorites stamps to get are food with faces , love those , but if I find some food with out faces I just know what to do now ,

NON SHAKE -SHAKER

Hello Hello!

This card is a easy card, I make mistakes while I was doing this card, but believe me is easy hahaha, my mistake was to cut the card base, I didn't trust in myself , and I put in dough my first instinct to keep the card base in just one piece, but well I get to fix it and it was a easy fix , next time I have to remember the acetate can be place on the outside.

Thursday I have my game of mexican domino, but this time was in my friend house e, every month is in a different house with take turns and we cook , eat and play , but we mostly talk talk talk. this time we get to play all 12 domino steps , and I win the last one for this game.but I win just one, but is ok because the important thing is to share a good time and have a lot of fun.

The card, can be made like a shaker card if you want to , but I am a such a mess making shaker cards the I didn't want to risk it and I just make the effect of flowing shaker elements around the bear.this make the card easy and less bulky , but almost with the same charm of a shaker card ....well almost....this have no shaking sound hi hi .
