She suggest: girly, mini cards, from card to crop and birthday of course! and this is my final product, I hope she likes it!

Mi querida amiga Sony me pidió que hiciera un reto para su celebración de cumpleaños que está haciendo en su blog! Yo quiero muchísimo a Sony y me encantan los retos, así que por supuesto le dije que si!! Fue un siii super fácil, para mi un honor!

Para este reto, sólo tienes que hacer unas mini tarjetas bien "girly" (no tienen que ser ROSA o de niña, simplemente femenina) y si pueden ser de cumpleaños mucho mejor (así ya tienes para un próximo regalo, jeje, PERO no es requerido!). El proyecto que hice es un set de mini tarjetas de cumpleaños bien "girly" y atrás puedes ver un mini layout super sencillo y fácil. La razón es que Sony me sugirió varios temas y no supe que escoger, jeje! Los temas sugeridos fueron: mini tarjetas, "girly", cumpleaños, de tarjeta a scrapbook! así que pues traté de hacer un poquito de todo, espero les guste!

Me imagino que quieres saber si hay un premio, verdad? pues, claro que sí! Así que no dejes de participar, la ganadora recibirá un Kit Sorpresa y además escogeremos dos ganadoras más y cada una recibirá un Mini Kit Sorpresa diseñado por mí! Pronto compartiré las fotos, hoy está haciendo tanto calor que no puedo seguir aquí, jeje!

Asegúrate de añadir tu participación a mas tardar el 1ro de Agosto, usando el inlinkz aquí abajo:

More Mini Cards

I have to share with you this mini cards I did last week. First, I did this mini card because I have a customer that called me because she needs to do some favors for a Baby Shower. She asked me what I have with that theme and what do I suggest her to do for the project she is going to do (she needs something small, like 1½ x 1½) so I took my Mini Ocassions and Showers of Love and started playing with her on the phone. I did the panel with the stroller and the words, but since I have it already done, I decided to use it for something and while I worked the ones I share here, I did this one too! I really like how it turned, as a matter of fact I like it so much that I did another one very similar, but with different scraps I had on the table and a new set I just got: Today and Forever.

Hope you like it!

Tengo que compartir con ustedes estas mini tarjetas que hice la semana pasada. Primero hice la tarjeta de "Baby Shower" pues tengo una cliente que me llamó porque ella tiene que hacer algunos detalles para un Baby Shower. Ella me preguntó que tenía con ese tema y que le podía sugerir para el proyecto que va a hacer (se necesita algo pequeño, como de 1 ½ x 1 ½), así que busqué mi "Mini Ocassions" (Mini Ocasiones) y "Showers of Love" (Lluvia de amor) y empecé a jugar mientras hablaba con ella en el teléfono. Hice el panel con el cochecito y las palabras y me gustó, queda perfecto para lo que ella lo necesita, pero como ya lo tenía hecho, decidí usarlo para algo, y mientras hacía el trabajo que compartí aquí, pues hice esta también! Me gustó tanto como quedó, que hice esta otra muy similar, pero con diferentes "scraps" que tenía en la mesa y un sello que me acababa de llegar: "Today and Forever" (Hoy y siempre)!

Espero les guste!

Love,

A mini card to share!

Yep, I did something yesterday night! I manage to finish 30 of this babies, but I forgot to take a picture of them before I handed out to my customer! I had some commitments for today and I was in a hurry! but at least I kept one for me and there it is. I did this for a lady that own a business and she wants to give a thank you card with every purchase, this is the first batch I did for her, but I will be doing more soon. If you need some cards or mini cards for your customers or any special ocassion I can help you with that, just ask me!

*************************************************************************************

Si, hice algo ayer, me las arreglé para terminar 30 de estas bebés, pero olvidé tomarle una foto a todas juntas antes de entregarlas a mi cliente! Tenía varios compromisos para hoy y estaba ajorada! pero al menos guardé una para mí y aquí está. Hice esto para una clienta que tiene un negocio y quiere dar una tarjeta de agradecimiento con cada compra, esta es la primera serie que hice para ella, pero voy a hacer más pronto. Si necesitas algunas tarjetas o mini tarjetas para tus clientes o cualquier ocasión especial te puedo ayudar con eso, sólo preguntame!

Deseándote un feliz fin de semana!

Another gift idea: Using Monograms

I know Christmas is coming really fast, that's why I said on my last newsletter that I will be sharing some gift ideas and that way you can start getting ready for it! I know we love to give everyone something and with this economy it's not that easy, but with this simple and savy gifts I am sure you can give more than you expect! Here I am sharing with you a kit I sent TAC for the Mono Madness contest, no I didn't win but I am sooooooooooooo in LOVE with this one that I want to share with you! I did 3 mini cards, a mini notebook and a scraped CD case you can add a picture and have it in your desk! I love the More Mimi Double Sided paper collection and of course I have to use it soon! What you think? I hope you like it as much as I do!

*************************************************************************************
Las Navidades están a la vuelta de la esquina y se que a todas nos encanta regalar y regalarle a todos en la lista! pero también se que este año la economía no está muy buena, por eso les anuncié en el newsletter pasado, que estaré compartiendo algunas ideas de regalitos aquí en el blog para que se vayan preparando. Estos regalitos son sencillos, elegantes y delicaditos y te ayudarán a regalar más con menos dinero! Este es un kit que envié para el concurso "Monogram Madness" de TAC, lamentablemente no gané, pero estoy tannnnnnnnnn enamorada de el que quiero compartirlo con ustedes! Hice 3 mini tarjetas, una mini libretita y una cajita de CD escrapeada para que puedan poner una foto y adornar el escritorio! Me fascina la nueva colección More Mimi que es doble cara, así que quise usarla tan rápido como pude (en realidad esos fueron unos scraps que nos dieron en el Seminario, jeje). ¿Qué te parece? Espero que te guste tanto como a mi!

Love,

I have done a lot today!

Is 1 pm here and I have done a lot! I work with the hostess clubs projects, I shipped most of them today (I still waiting for a box), I designed the MC Club Kit (is looking GREAT!) and I did a little bit of house cleaning! I am going to take a bath now to keep rolling with all the things I want to do today: I need to finish the MC Club kit to be ship on Tuesday, read, organize a Stamping 101 day and something more, lol! Plus play with the girls, cook the dinner and more family stuff!! I called this a productive day, what you think?

Here is the package I did to put the Bundle of Joy Cards on it! Is a clamshell that I embellish a little bit and that is!

A passion for mini cards and a tip!

Yes, if you know me you know that I love every kind of minis, I have been working with minis for a while (I have some projects that I haven't share with you yet, but are on my table *wink*). While I was looking for scraps for the Wednesday of Challenge this week (check here); I found a bunch of the tags that came with our paper collections! and I was trying to figure out another way to use them! So far I have use them for Scrapbooking layouts and cards. What about using them for my mini cards? and this was what I came with! I love them! and I plan to do more and more of this babies! They can be a great way to show appreciation and to embelish a little gift or a gift bag, and since I use Ordinary Greetings and Trendy Greetings the possibilities are endless with a lot of greetings to add on.If you have any other tip to use this precious babies (I can tell you that I have LOTS!!) please share with us!

Can't wait to make your own mini cards with tags? Go here to shop with me! Recipe: Lilly Ana paper collection, Lilly Ana Ribbon, Lilly Ana Hardware, Bitty Blossoms, Ordinary Greetings, Trendy Greetings and Kraft Cardstock 8½ x 11 or 12 X 12.

Today is Little Cupcake Day!

Yes, Today is Blog Hop!! and look who is feature!! this cute stamp set!! is Little Cupcake!! yes one of Mabelle's new sets!! I know I have told you this before, but I am sooo happy to play more with it!!

Anyway about my project! If you know me you know that I love mini stuff! right? Well so I since I have done a couple of stuff with this Sweet set! I want to do something different! I started picking the images I haven't use that much! (the Cake in the base, the Lollipop and the candle)and I made this set of three mini cards (they are 3 X 4 and I love this size because you get 6 cards from a 12 X 12 cardstock, isn't that COOL?) Then I just have to pair it with the Mia's Cottage paper since this set is also designed by my dear friend Mabelle!! don't you love her designs? and if you get to know her you will love her as well!

What I did! For the first card, I stamped the cake with the base and then did paper piece with it so I can get that sweet image inside the square from Sweet goodies (yes, I eat cake today! lol), I colored it using my Impress Markers and add some stickles on it and I used pop dots for the image!, for the second card I used the Lollipop stamp (is so lovely!!) I colored it doing lines with the three colors I used and of course I add stickles too! this image was stamped inside the square using the mask technique!. For the third card I also did paper piecing (there was no way to stamp this one inside the square!) and mount it on pop dots. Please let me know if you have any question!

Let give it a try to this project, go shopping here. What you need? Little Cupcake, Sweet Goodies, Mia's Cottage and Mega Scalloped Square punch. I know you have lots of white cardstock but just in case here you can find them too!

Be sure to check this talented angels that play with this set as well! Hope you find inspiration and get in love with it as I am!
