Hello darlings!

Hello hello hello darlings, I know it's been AGES since I dissapeared, but, things happen, then I lost my mojo, then, well, I haven't actually found it but I 'm coming around slowly.

My first project after sooo long seemed like a true feat to me, I didn't know what I had in my stash (or where exactly was everything) or how to use it (lol!). So, after a lot of search and trial and error, I managed to finish this:

It is a tumbler from Starbucks, the one that has a sort of template paper inside so that you can personalize it, it costs about €9, I thought it would be a nice idea for a cheap but cute gift for a friend of mine.

Don't ask me how I did it, it is all a blur, I remember stamping like crazy, using distress inks like a lunatic and addding TONS of glittery stuff, trust me, it was SCARY!

The actual finished project:

That's it for now, I hope you 're all well and thriving, see ya (hopefully in this century!).

Card making: Christmas card #6

I made a few more cards, this one is for my niece. Don't ask me how I did this, I have no idea!!!

It all started when I attempted to make a flower like a paper rosette but it was a disaster, it was torn in two, so, I threw it away.
I cut the red cardstock for the card and then I cut a window and then the phone rang. So while talking, I absentmindedly played with the card and when the phonecall was over, I was looking at a bent card that looked like a futuristic hotel room! It goes without saying that it was rocking like a granny's chair, so I added the bottom round piece for some balance!

So, while I was thinking what I should do with it, I imagined a room with a window so I added this and that and guess what, I took the torn paper rosette out of the paper bin, I cut it in half and it was perfect on top of the window!

Of course no window is comlplete without a little hanging pot, so I made one too!

I also made another card, a totally different one, and I tried for the first time some Glimmer Mist in combination with a Tattered Angels mask. As you can see, I also succeded in making a paper rosette!
I don't have Tim Holtz's die, I just used my trimmer's scalop blade on a strip of pp and then scored it.

It is really fun to experiment, you never know what will come out!
