13 Days of Halloween, Day 12

Hello Everyone!

Just stopping by to show off another little card I've made using digi stamps from Simply Betty Stamps it's from the Alicia Bel line and I think she's so cute.

The sentiment is from Dilo en Espanol Set# 2: Queremos Pastel

I made these roses a while while back with my Spellbinder's die

Rose Creations. 

Here's a slight close-up with a little bit of better lighting. 

I colored with almost all Copic markers this time exception of the cat's eyes

and the gray stone and gray shingles and window frames- 

those were with Spectrum Noir markers.

I made a little card using Witchy Boo Betty and House of Usher from Simply Betty Stamps; She gave this house scene as a freeby for a day or two a while back on the Facebook fan page and am embarrassed to say that I didn't use it right away.


Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Katya Bess

Thinking of you / Grandparent

Hello Everyone,

Hope all is great with everyone. Here's a card I made.

This is how it looks before I add OMS. The image is from

Jackson's Digital Expressions it's called Suga Mama 

I used a Spellbinders die to frame it and to add to the scare corners as well. 

While waiting at doctor appointments I've been working on making mini 

crochet flowers... yes some came out very wonky only because I forget to count my chains lol. This one wasn't so bad (I counted that time). I still have to work on technique and eventually want to learn how to make bigger flowers and other patterns. The chain I find that I can do it so much 

faster with my fingers than with the needle. 

My mom gave me some thin yarn that she hasn't used and  for the crochet needle,

 I bought a pack of 4 (it came with different sizes) from the dollar store. 

Close up on spellbinders die and embossing.

When I saw this image (Suga Mama) it reminded me of my daughter kissing and hugging my mom. 

My kids have 2 grandma's and 2 great-grandma's so for my side of the family my mom is their Abuela (Grandmother in Spanish). I just found that it wouldn't be so confusing to them when I was teaching them the "family labels" lols and when they are referring to a certain grandparent I'd know which one their are talking about and will also when I was talking about a certain one.  Plus I'm teaching them to speak Spanish along the way. 

Thank you everyone for visiting my blog.

Sympathy Cards

Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well and enjoying your day.

My mother wanted my to create several different cards for some relatives that lost their mother (which was my mother's only remaining aunt from her father's side)

Completed front.

 Spellbinders

The Hydrangea is from the Walk In My Garden cricut cartridge. 

Sprits the lavender cardstock with two glimmer mists 

Mel's Diner & Puerto Rico

 The little "pearls" are the inside of flowers were done with
Viva Decor Perlen-Pen #201 (I thought it was "pearl pen" but that one is spell like that on the label)
Still working on more cards for her.
She wants them to be able to be mailed plus they're going out of the country...
So I can't make them bulky or too 3D

I've shown this Spellbinders technique that I learned for a couple of gals on YouTube

 Here is the completed front

This is the inside- left some room for her to write something if she wants.

 This is the Calla Lily
araceae stamp from PSX K-1696
I pop-dotted it just for a little dimension- not too much.

 Full front

Here is another card with the same stamp but here I tried
some "real stitching" I love it- still need practice on sewing straight.

I paper pieced the calla lilies to make them "pop" by contrast of color rather
than using pop dots.

Little too much flash but I finished the card at night and had the
worst lighting ever- so I used the flash.

I didn't want to do anything too fancy to the inside but inked a
little part of the same stamp I used on the front of the card and used it
here as well for to add a little interest.

This is my aunt with one of her horses (one of many farm animals).

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you like them.

Hugs,

Cardz TV Bunny Week Challenge

Hello everyone,

My take on the bunny card. I used the Hello Kitty Greetings cart. I didn't have any carts with eggs so I had to improvise and use ovals as eggs and used glitter cardstock. Grass is from Paper Doll Dress Up. The basket is from Create a Critter Cart. I drew on some faux stitching to give it a more complete look. The Spanish sentiment "Feliz Domingo de Pascua" means "Happy Easter Sunday." The font I used is Giddyup std and size 23.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks Mary for the opportunity.
