First Design for Money Card

My first money card. I always saw my husband's grand mother and mother using money card. And I said it is easy to do it. Then when I starts making my own greeting cards and other cards I experiment or explore myself on how to make a money card. And because of I have Silhouette Cameo it helps me a lot, too, on doing a money card. Plus the factor of videos and blogs tutorials.

I use the swirls stamps and stamps it on the right corner of the card. Add glitters on the die cut cross and the fonts are die cut too.

Wedding and Wall Decorations

There was a woman in the group that I belong that make a wall decor for their house. She used the vinyl for the fonts. I am not mastered on using the Silhouette Cameo as well as the card stocks. So what I did I used the 2 different colors of Recollections card stocks. Cut the fonts five times and layered it to add some dimensions instead of using the thick double adhesive tapes.

And we gave this for a gift for this newly wed.

Father's Day

 

These are the cards that I made first and last. I forgot to post it due to busiest things in life. The left side was done before the last week of May and the right card was done when the Father's Day is over. I gave the left side card to my Japanese brother-in-law Hiroshi and the other one is for me. I should have one for me! hahahahahahaha

Another card that gives me satisfaction because I begin to learn on color combinations. It's been a years now that I have a problem on blending the color or combining the color. And good that there's one woman teaches how to blend or combine the papers from its designs to color.

Happy Crafting!

The materials that I used are

Cardstocks : Recollections for the plain like the body and parts of the body of the father and round shapes

                    Recollections Textured Special Paper the blue color

                    Bazzil for his pants

                    Hammerhill the base and the background or offset of the guy

                    Citrus Mat for the printed or special paper

                   Newsprint for the left side card only

                   American Crafts for the premium ribbon

                  Nicole Bubble Cuts for scissor used on the left side

                   Bigkick and Texturz Plate for the embossing on the left side

                   Silhouette Cameo to cut the round shapes and Sketch pen to sketch the phrase for the father

                   Le Plume to enhance the face. lines on his shoes and DAD word

                   Elmers Glue to adhere all these things

I usually purchase my craft materials in Acmoore, Michaels and Joann's with the factor of COUPONS. hmmmm?!

-------------------------------------------

And..this is my second crafts for Father's day.

2011 when I make my personalized card to my husband I used my hand and scissors. Now because I am "techy" everything is on the Silhouette Cameo plus my Bigkick for some drama.

I supposed to reformat the card that I gave to my husband last year. But from the Google that I search regarding on the font for Father's day plus the Graduation frame that I saw in Micheals I decided to change my plan. One day, My husband and I went to Michaels to buy my materials. I bought that Graduation frame. I know it is the perfect frame for him. Why not give him a special gift (though it comes from his paycheck hahahahahaha)?

Aside for the Graduation frame from Michaels, the picture size is 5 in by 7 in. I used cardstocks textured and ordinary are from Recollections. Fonts are SquirtDNA Regular for "Anyone...", Father is Gugnine and Daddy is Tabitha. Silhouette Cameo to cut the font. Elmers Glue for adhering and layering this fonts. Oh I always forget my tools that always helps me a lot to hold this cute little pieces the CGull. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My cards for Father's Day. Aside of the craft that I am going to give for my husband I will also give a card for my friends' and relative's husband. I want to extend my gratitude how their raised and love their children. 

Oh I got this idea on the Scrapbook Express. And it gives me an idea to make this also and send it to my prospects receivers. 

From the women in All Things Silhouette Cameo and SD group name Maria Perez posted about the color combination. She too has a problem on combining the colors. I'm not alone. And it really helps me a lot. Though while I am doing this card I really test my eyes if it is not good or not plus the factor of that link the Color Combos. 

I really like using Gelly Roll Med White Ink Gel most especially on the dark color paper. It gives effects on the card, attitude and magic as well. 

Happy Father's Day!

Graduation Day..Hats off Graduates!

I know how happy and so excited was the students when they graduate from their respective fields. But we also know how so proud are the parents when they saw that their child/ren graduates. Meanwhile, there's one proud mother posting and asking for a card and a key chain for son that will graduate on June 28th. She posted that on the group where all women are so talented on their paper craft and vinyl. When she said that..I commented "why not share your talent to this proud mother?!". She also said she already receives cards. And now I am going to send my card for her son. Not because I want to share my talents but I want to tell to that mother I really appreciates her feelings of being proud and announces to all of us about her son's graduation. We knew that it is so hard to finish studies that's why when we done on those hard times it seems like we are in the cloud nine. HATS OFF! That is what they say. So this is for you Sharon Greenway and for your son Brandon Greenway. Congratulations to both of you.

I remember one of the Craft designer or Invites Designer name "THE ORIGINALS"  that I adore so much said add some attitude to you card and she was sayinng the cut style of the card. So the edges of the card (base and top) is rounded. The Lawn Fawn, Kerry gives me also inspirations for cutty things styles. And a friend of mine, JingInvitations, inspired me to start and continue again my art skills.

Silhouette cameo for cutting the following shapes like the parts of the owl, the based and top of the card, graduation cap and rolled diploma,Hats off. Card stocks are Recollections textured (gray) and ordinary (black, yellow and blue). A Family Affair for the owl and Citrus Mat Stocks for the heart shape. Mambi Stic for the scalloped sticker. Font is Boingo.

Spring Fling 2012

I send these cards from my Tita Luz, cousin Lenny and co-former teachers that living in Virginia and Washington. Because it is Spring 2012 I decided to make a spring card for us. Us, I include myself too. I want a souvenir for myself too. I really like how it came. Very neat simple and elegant.

Again, from watching tutorials I again how to make a flower and add effects on. And from different cards that I saw it came like that.

Silhouette Wedding Card

We will attend a wedding this 2nd day of June. So I decided again my own card. I look around for some idea for the wedding card. By the way, I am avid viewers of "My Fair Wedding of David Tutera" and "Say Yes to the Dress".. So I found a site that selling a template for an arch or lace and for the whole card. And I search from the Silhouette a file that I can use for the wedding. I found that dole lace arch and cut it the upper portion of the arch. Because I wanted the pedestal will a little bit inside of the arch. From the real wedding I decorate my card by putting flowers, vines, bells and vows. To add embossed on the arch I use my pen and draw at the back of it. And I did that too on the bride's gown. Add also flowers on her gown. I used the flower punch for the bride's bouquet and adhered it one by one. I put double-sided tape to add dimension to the newly wed.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day (though late for posting).. I made four designs for Mother's Day for my friends, cousin and family (sister and aunt). The reason why I made four different designs because mother's have different categories (for me)..So I said this design is best for her. Through watching and reading tutorials I know how to make my flowers beautiful. Dimensions and 3d effects. I really love making cards. It really makes me happy and fulfilled my day. Sometimes my husband says.."Oh you are still working on your card". But before I start busy I finished all my "real busy things". And I am delighted when a friend of my sis-in-law saying that I should volunteer on Art subject in a school. 

 I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut those flowers, heart shapes and scalloped for my base. And use Martha Stewart punch for small flowers glitter on top of those white flowers.

 Here I put rhinestone to add some effects on each flowers. I really love flowers.

 There are some mothers that wanted to be there always where their can possibly be. And I have friends and in-laws are like that. So I chose this design for them. I definitely sure yellow color and brown for a change is good.

And these cards was a combination of flower and a ribbon. I wanted to make a ribbon and flower in one so I look around how I can make it. Good that there's a blogs tutorial for that. This is not one flower die-cut. I designed leaf and makes a multiple copies of leaf. And one by one adhering. For scalloped I used Fiskars to add a little bit style. And for the Best Mom I used die cut from Sizzix. Then my husband suggests that I should used "blue" for the ribbon because it signifies NUMBER 1 or Best. So instead of making new one I use the ROYAL BLUE as the top of this card. Rhinestone added. It came out right even though I used white card stock on other card for "For You"
