LIFE...

Hi,

Today I finally found the other project I made using a Raindrop Echo Designs digital Stamp.  For this project I used one of the stamps in the Inspirational Sentiments set.  This is a hybrid project since the background is a digital paper that I printed with only a portion of the quote.  I also used the stamp to make a digital cut file.

For the background I stamped some doilies with a Maya Road stamp and use some home made glimmer mist to add shine.  On the parts I cut using my Cricut (the flower and two of the words) I used glossy accents to add more dimension.

I really love to find different uses for my digital stamps.  I think they are extremely versatile and with a little imagination you can create something really nice.  I still need to mat this quote and it will be placed on a frame.  Don't worry. I will take a pic of it and share it with you ;)

JOY CARD

Hola,

Aquí les muestro una tarjetita 4X4 que hice utilizando el mismo font del mini set que compartí ayer con ustedes. Me gusto mucho el toque de azul en una tarjeta navideña. Espero que les guste.

Hi,

This is a 4X4 card I made using the same font as the mini set I shared yesterday. I love how the blue color stands in this Christmas color scheme.

Gracias por la visita.

Thanks for the visit.

JOY MINI CARDS SET

Hola / Hello,

Espero que se encuentren bien. Yo estoy enferma así que no he podido tener la diversión que esperaba en el día de hoy. Quiero compartir con ustedes este set de mini tarjetas que hice hace par de semanas pero que aun no había fotografiado. Este es un trabajo Hibrido. Utilicé un font llamado LD Nativity que compre en Scrap and Fonts. Cada letra mayúscula del set tiene un pesebre. Lo que hice fue segregar el pesebre y usarlo como mi imagen central. Con las letras minúsculas del set escribí la palabra JOY. Luego lo imprimí dos veces, una en la base de la tarjeta y en un pedazo de papel. Las pinte usando mis Copics. Aunque no tengo mucha técnica pintando con ellos, el resultado final me parece bastante razonable.

Hope you all doing fine. Today I have been sick so there was not as much fun here as I expected. Still, I want to share a 3X3 set I made a few weeks ago. I used a font name LD Nativity which I purchased at Scrap and Fonts. I love the results. This is a hybrid card; basically I segregated the manger from one of the letters and used it for the main image. In this set all capitals have a manger in it. I used the lower case for the JOY word. I printed the image twice in the card base and on a scrap of white paper, and then colored it with my Copics. I still need a lot of practice coloring with those markers, but still the results are kind of cute.

Espero que les hayan gustado. Pendientes porque tengo mas proyectos que aun no les muestro. Gracias por la visita!!

Hope you liked them. I have a few more projects to share with you so see you soon.

Besitos,
Joan

Things to do today... a Moxie Fab Challenge

Hola,
Preparé ésta libretita para el reto de Fun & Cute del Moxie Fab. Ya que mi libreta de asuntos pendientes se me esta acabando decidí prepararme una nueva utilizando un stamp digital de Boogaboo Stamps. Me encantó esa imagen sobre todo porque expone de manera jocosa la forma en que muchas veces nos sentimos. El texto en el papel verde lo imprimí utilizando Photoshop.

Gracias por la visita.

MOJO MOJO... WHERE YOU'VE BEEN?

Hola,

Hace tiempo no actualizaba mi blog. He estado bien ocupada entre el trabajo y la familia y la verdad es que no había sacado el tiempo para trabajar cositas para subir al blog. Si he trabajado varios proyectos que me han pedido, pero por la prisa no los retrate..... muy malllll. Este fin de semana decidí que ya estaba bueno de tanta pereza y decidí sentarme a trabajar.

Este mes en Splitcoastampers se esta celebrando una serie especial de challenges llamado el "Dare To Get Dirty 2010" diseñados por el "Dirty Dozen" para aquellas personas que somos miembros del Fan Club. Para sacarle un poco el polvo a mi creatividad, decidí jugar con ellas la mayor cantidad de retos que el tiempo me permita.

Aquí les muestro la primera tarjetita. No es mi estilo habitual, pero me gusto el resultado.

La segunda tarjeta la hice inspirada en la serie Full House, sobre todo porque me encanta el comenzar cuando presentan ese parquecito en San Francisco.... Y es que me encantan las famosas casas "Paited Ladies".

Para esta tarjeta utilicé papeles digitales de la colección Phoebe de Basic Grey. SIIII, BG esta trabajando algunas de sus colecciones en files digitales. Esta colección siempre me ha gustado por sus colores alegres. Lo que hice fue crear en Photoshop las diferentes capas de la tarjeta las cuales imprimí y corte. Lo que me gusta de trabajar hibrido es que si un papel me encanta (como en este caso), nunca se me acaba. Espero que BG siga tirando sus colecciones en digital. El stamp es de uno de los kits de Unity, las casitas... me encantan!!

Pendientes que vienen mas tarjetitas por ahí!!

Esta es la tarjeta que hice para hoy:)

This is the card I made for today:)





Mientras pensaba en la tarjeta que haría para el día de hoy, me vino el pensamiento de que estaría representando a mi bella isla y que lo mejor sería hacer una que fuera representativa de su belleza. Así que la hice con flores pues ellas me recuerdan a nuestro hermoso bosque tropical… El Yunque. Le dedico esta entrada a mi isla, a mi gente que sufre con el resto del mundo los embates de una economía lastimada y la decadencia de muchos valores morales pero que aun así no ha perdido su gran capacidad de amar y sentir compasión por aquel que sufre.
Así que como diría Gilbertito…. CAMINALO!!....

When I was thinking about the card I wanted to make, I thought that since I am representing my beautiful Island of Puerto Rico I might as well make a card that had all the warmth and beauty of my Caribbean Paradise. So I made a card with flowers because they remind me of our great Rain Forest. I dedicate this post to my island…to my people, who are suffering with the rest of the world the effects of a weak economy and the devaluation of many moral values, but at the same time still have a great amount of love and compassion. The message in the card is a paragraph of a popular song that says “If I hadn’t been born in this island, I would have many regrets of not having been born here”. The song is all about the love for the country in which you were born, that song applies to each one of us and it has a rhythm that makes you want to start dancing right away. So this card is for my family, my friends, my people and for the rest of the world.
Enjoy!!
