Christmas Cards

 Hi, welcome to my blog. I have here the Christmas cards I made this year. There is a variety of them. I hope you like the different styles.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi blog. Hoy he traído las tarjetas que he hecho este año para Navidad. Hay una gran variedad. Espero que os gusten los diferentes estilos.

 

I did the first one with a new die. I love the result.

La primera la hice con un troquel nuevo. Me encanta el resultado.

I made all of these using embossed white cardstock, a stamp of presents and adding a panel of holographic papers.

Estas las hice utilizando una cartulina blanca embosada con puntos gordos, un sello de regalitos y añadiendo un panel de diferentes papeles holográficos. 

This one is a shaker card.

Esta es un shaker.

In these two cards I painted the background with watercolours. 

En estas dos tarjetas pinté el fondo con acuarelas.

And I used a stencil to make the background for this one. I hope you liked them. See you next time.

Y utilicé una plantilla de nieve para el fondo de esta. Espero que os gusten. Hasta la próxima.

Bright and colourful cards

 Hello and welcome to my blog. I have two cards for today's post. I made them with the papers from the same set. I love the bright colours. They are very cheerful cards.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi blog. Hoy tengo dos tarjetas para este post. Las hice con el mismo set de papeles. Me encantan los colores brillantes. Son unas tarjetas muy alegres.

I used two different papers with colour dots. Then I cut a strip of glitter paper and I glued it in the middle. And finally I used the letters to write "happy day".

     Utilicé dos papeles diferentes con puntos de colores. Luego corté una tira de papel brillante y lo             pegué en la mitad. Por último utilicé las letras para escribir "feliz día".

 

In this one I used different papers, but the same scketch. I love the colours.

En esta otra utilicé diferentes papeles, pero el mismo diseño. Me encantan los colores.

And that's all for today. I hope you liked it. See you next time.

Y eso es todo por hoy. Espero que os haya gustado. Hasta la próxima.

Happy birthday card

 Hello and welcome to my blog. It's been a long time since I posted something. But now I am posting a birthday card I really love.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi blog. Hace mucho que no publicaba nada. Pero hoy traigo una tarjeta de cumpleaños que me ha gustado mucho.

I've used a stencil and inks to make the cake. It has different shapes and decorations. For the background I used a glitter paper.

Usé una plantilla y tintas para hacer el pastel. Tiene diferentes formas y decoraciones. Para el fondo utilicé un papel brillante.

It also has a little candle. And I added a few coloured stones.

También tiene una pequeña vela. Y le añadí unas cuantas cuentas de colores.

And that was all. I hope you like it. See you next time.

Y eso fue todo. Espero que os guste. Hasta la próxima.

Watercolor Christmas cards

 Hello and welcome to my blog. It's February, I know, but I haven't posted the cards I made for Christmas this year, so here they are.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi blog. Ya sé que es febrero, pero no había publicado las tarjetas que hice este año para navidad, así que aquí están.

                                       

I used watercolours to draw the different objects in the cards. And then added details with a white pen and a black pen. I stamped the different sentiments.

Utilicé acuarelas para dibujar los distintos motivos de las tarjetas. Y luego añadí los detalles con un rotulador blanco y otro negro.

For the background, I used different patterned papers.

Para las bases de las tarjetas utilicé diferentes papeles decorados o dorados o brillantes.

I hope you liked the cards. See you next time.

Espero que os hayan gustado las tarjetas. Hasta la próxima.

Birthday card

 Hello and welcome to my blog. It's been a long time since I posted a card. I've had a hard time at home during this year. But now I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi blog. Hace mucho que no escribía nada en el blog. Ha sido un poco raro y difícil este año. Pero ahora parece que ya empiezo a ver la luz al final del tunel.

Today's card is a birthday card. I used a ollographic paper for the backgroud, and I love it.

La tarjeta de hoy es una tarjeta de cumpleaños. Utilicé un papel holográfico, y me encanta.

Then I used a colourful pattern paper and a plain yellow paper. I wrote Felicidades in big letters and that was all.

Luego utilicé un trozo de papel decorado de colores y otro amarillo. Escribí Felicidades con letras grandes, y ya está.

I hope you liked my card. See you next time.

Espero que os haya gustado la tarjeta. Hasta la próxima.

Celebrating the Card Chain Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm writing for the firs time since April. I haven't made any card for months. I've been doing other crafty things, but not cards.
In this post I'm going to include some of the cards I've made over the years for the CCC. They are celebrating 3.000 cards exchanged all over the planet. And I am part of it.
I started participating in the exchange in October 2014. I have all the cards and envelopes I've been receiving all these years. I've been participating in the CCC since then. But I stopped this March due to the Coronavirus. So I've sent and received 59 cards.

I haven't found a photograph of the first card, but I sent it to Gail in Norway and I received one from Arlene McClung in California. This is her card.

To celebrate the date, there are different games in the CCC page, and the second one is the favourite card I have sent. I think I have a few, but here I have the ones I prefer.

I sent this to Vickie in IN in October 2015.

I sent this to Jane in the UK in June 2016.

I sent this to Linda in MI in March 2019.

And I sent this to Jo in the UK in October 2019.

The fourth game is the favourite card I have received. I have three of my favourites here.

This is from Robin in Australia. She sent it to me in April 2017.

This is from LaVon in Illinois. I received it in July 2017.

And this is from Janet Ribet in Mauritius, in January 2019.

So I think I will go on participating in the CCC as soon as the situation gets better here and in the rest of the world, because I love waiting for the card to arrive, and making a card for someone who is going to appreciate it.

Thank you for being there and keep on going with the challenge.

Spring flowers

Hello and welcome to my blog. It has been a long time since I posted here. These are hard times here in Spain. We are at home, working remotely and getting bored. So I decided I have to create something pretty and post it.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi blog. Hace mucho que no publico nada. Son tiempos difíciles y complicados aquí en España. Estamos en casa, trabajando remotamente y aburriéndonos. Así que decidí que tenía que crear algo bonito y publicarlo aquí.

This is today's card. It is a bunch of flowers. I watercoloured them. I practice a little bit, and then, I made them.

Esta es la tarjeta de hoy. Es un ramo de flores. Las he hecho con acuarela. Practiqué un poco, y me decidí a hacerla. 

I also made a second card. I used a different type of flower. And added a stipe of pink paper and a patterned paper.

También hice una segunda tarjeta utilizando otro tipo de flor. Luego añadí una tira rosa y otra de un papel decorado.

I participate in these two challenges with the first card.

Con la primera tarjeta participo en estos dos retos.

         

I hope you like my cards. See you next time.

Espero que os gusten mis tarjetas. Hasta la próxima.
