Reproducible Christmas Cards

Ok, so I love those fabulous stamps sets/dies combo and decided to make a bunch of embellies with them and then play around on the same type of card base. 
My card base was made using the die from Sizzix Accordion Die, from Karen Burniston (she's great!)
Made a bunch of them!
And after die cutting, stamping, paper piecing, came the fun part- Playing!!
(As if  I did'nt have fun die cutting,stamping and paper piecing ....Oh well, you know what I mean : ))
We crafters have fun in the process right?



Como eu adoro esses sets de stamp/dies, decidi fazer um montao deles e depois brincar em cima de uma mesma base de cartao.
A base do cartao foi feita com Sizzix Accordion Die, da fabulosa Karen Burniston!
Fiz um monte deles.
Depois de cortar,carimbar e colar veio a parte boa - Brincar!!
(Come se cortar,carimbar e colar nao fosse uma delicia....bom, voces sabem do que estou falando nao?)
Afinal, nos artesaos de todos tipos adoramos o processo da coisa,certo?



These are my mass produced Christmas Cards!
-Warning! Lots of pictures-

I hope you like them : )

Christmas Cards Made With SSS December 2012 Card Kit

Hi friends!
I'm back with some Christmas cards using the December Card kit by Simon Says Stamps.
Again, the stamp set is great!! I love the wood word "merry" and the holly berry leaves too.



Ola amigas!
Estou de volta com alguns cartoes de Natal que fiz usando o Card Kit de Dezembro da Simon Says Stamps.
Como sempre, adorei o stamp set! Gostei tambem da palavra "merry"em madeira e das folhas de holly.




My first card was made using the Santa image from one of the pattern papers in the kit.
The snowflake is from Sizzix and I love it and use it A LOT.
The glittery paper is from Stampin'up and I think they are the best for Christmas cards and decoration projects. Had to order 3 more packs!...yeah...scared to run out of it...


Fiz o meu primeiro cartao usando a imagem do Papai Noel de um dos papeis decorados do kit.
O floco de neve e' um die da Sizzix que eu adoro e uso bastante.
O papel glitter que eu usei e' da Stampin'Up e na minha opiniao, o melhor para fazer cartoes e decoracoes para o Natal. Tive que comprar mais 3 pacotes!...pois e'...fobia de que acabe....




Inside sentiment was stamped on the label sticker that came in the kit.I like the stamped image to go over the borders of the label. 
How cute is that stamp!


O sentimento foi carimbado num label sticker que veio no kit. Eu gosto quando a imagem carimbada ultrapassa as bordas do label. 
Voces nao acham esse carimbo muito legal?




My second card was made using the window die from Memory Box and Stockings stamps/dies from DieNamics
I've used a piece of acetate to make the windows more realistic. 

Look! The cutey snowman is peeking through the window!! I think he wants to come inside 'cause it's cold outside : )




Meu segundo cartao foi feito com o 'window die' da Memory Box e os stamps/dies de meias de natal sao da DieNamics.
Usei um pedaco de plastico transparente(desses de embalagem mesmo) e fiz o "vidro" da janela para dar aquele tom mais realistico.

Olhem so o boneco de neve olhando pela janela!! Acho que ele quer entrar pois esta' muito frio la' fora : )



The card has got three layers. The 'outside' scenery is in the second layer.By doing that, I give a little depth to the card



O cartao tem tres camadas. O cenario de 'fora' foi feito na segunda folha. Fazendo isso, consigo dar ao card uma certa profundidade/dimensao. 










The sentiment is cute!

Thanks for stopping by!

Obrigada pela visitinha!

My Card Using SSS November Card Kit

Hello friends!
My card kit from Simon Says Stamps arrived and my favourite item has got to be the exclusive stamp set!
I literally squealed with joy when I saw them!!
It is one of the new releases and way before the kit arrived here , I was eyeballing them ...YEY!!



Oi gente!
Meu card kit da Simon Says Stamps chegou e o meu item favorito eh o stamp set exclusivo!
Eu literalmente soltei um grito de felicidade quando vi o conteudo da caixa!!
Eh um dos lancamentos deles e muito antes do kit chegar aqui , eu jah estava de olho neles...YEY!!


Here is the  kit:



And this is the card I came up with:

E esse eh o cartao que eu fiz usando o kit:

I decided to make an unconventional card. 
The front of the card is a strip of paper (around 2 inches) and it is curved to make the card stand by itself. 


Decidi fazer um cartao diferente.
A parte da frente eh praticamente uma tira  de mais ou menos 4cm e que se curva para manter o cartao em pe.




The inside works as a background of the card.



The two hearts were stamped in Stampin'Up ink and heat embossed .Then I fussy cut and glued them to the centre of the strip. I used dimensionals to the small heart  and the glittery little heart.


Carimbei os dois coracoes e depois os recortei. Foram colados no centro da tira usando cola normal e dimensionais.

 The sentiment was heat embossed in black and them I punched with a circle punch from Stampin'up.



I hope you had a good time.

Thanks for coming by!

Espero que tenham gostado.

Obrigada pela visita!

Halloween Decor

Good Morning my friends!
I'm back with some more projects.

Inspired by Amy Powers workshop, I made my first ever celebration tree! 
I always wanted a white painted tree , so I painted mine with gesso. 
I didn't know painting was so therapeutic...

Can you see the pink spiders?


Baseada em um workshop com a Amy Powerss,eu fiz a minha arvore para todas as ocasioes (Natal,Pascoa,dia dos namorados...)
Sempre quis ter uma arvore pintada de branco , entao pintei a minha tambem. Pintar eh tao relaxante...
Repararam nas aranhas pink?



Could not forget to display some treats too.



The lollie wrappers were made with Die-namics Lollipop Treat Die and I got them from Dies To Die For 



I have spider-phobia and  I didn't want to make them scary and realistic.
So , I went for pink,party hats with flower tops and lace and some funny looks!


Tenho fobia de aranhas e nao queria faze-las muito realisticas .
Adivinha....fui de pink,chapeuzinho com flor,lacos e carinhas engracadas!
My friendly pink bunch.








Made some gratitude ornaments as well. They will  decorate my new white tree after the Halloween.


Fiz esses enfeites com palavras de inspiracao e gratidao para enfeitar na minha arvore,depois do Halloween.




                                            

 I edge punched (using my Stampin'Up punch) lots of 2x12 inches strips of patterned paper and scored each of them on every scallop. Folded it in accordion style and glued with hot glue gun to make a flower. To the centre , I die cut a lace from PTI and the circles were die cut from Trendy Tree Top Stamp Set and sentiments are from Amy Powers workshop.



Eu perfurei as bordas de varias tiras de papel decorado 2x12 inches e depois dobrei a cada escalope formando assim uma especie de sanfona. Colei com hot glue gun em forma de flor. No centro usei dies da PTI e os circulos tambem da PTI. Os sentimentos sao da Amy Powers.



                                           




Decorating my tree : )
                                            
 I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I did on making them!

Have a happy rest of the week.

Espero que tenham gostado dos meus projetos.
Eu me diverti muito fazendo isso tudo!

Um happy restinho de semana prah voces

Paper Bags Mini Album

Hello my friends!

Did I mention before that I have a big addiction to  scrapbook kits....Maybe because I don't have much time to shop around.... (ooooh my nose is growing!!)
Ok, so I do love to scrapshopping ,but I do love scrapbook kits too. 
Makes it easier for me to get on with a project without having to sort through my stash , especially if my scrap time is limited.

So I got this kit a while ago from Laura Denison and decided to make a paper bag mini album with it.
The paper bags I got from CraftsUlove and they are great quality for minis.



Ola amigas!

Jah falei pra voces que sou meio viciada em scrapbook kits?.. Talvez seja porque eu nao tenho muito tempo para fazer compras de scrapbook...(mentiroooosa!!)
Falando serio, eu gosto de fazer scrapshopping(compras de scrapbook) mas gosto tambem dos kits prontos.  Eles facilitam bastante na producao de algum projeto, pois estah tudo ali numa caixinha , pronto para ser trabalhado.  Uma mao na roda se voce nao tem muito tempo pra brincar com os seus papeis!

Entao resolvi usar um kit que comprei ha um tempo atras da Laura Denison e fiz um album feito de saco de papel (daqueles marrons bem baratos). Se voces quiserem o link eu comprei os meus na CraftsUlove mas eu acho que voces encontram em qualquer lugar.




Simple mini,but I like simple : )








 I left the label on the front cover blank ready to add alpha stickers or die cuts.



  Big tags inside each paper bag.












I have used almost everything in the kit! That feels good!!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

xx



Usei praticamente todo o kit e fiquei muito satisfeita com o resultado!
Obrigada pela visita e aproveitem o restinho de final de semana!
