Eureka Stamps Challenge: 179, Recycle it

Eureka Stamp has a new Challenge, which theme this week is: 

Recycle It - use something on 
your card that has already been used before

For this fun challenge, I decided to use some cute garment prize tag, which I have been accumulating lately and up-cycle them into bookmarks or gift tags:

digital stamp used: 8603(543) Flower Background

digital stamp used: 8804(528) Spring Has Sprung

I chose these images, because here in Texas it really feels as if the spring has already sprung ;-)

This the original tag:

For this project I used the left one. What I did with the right one I will show you In Angela's birthday bloghop coming on February 11:

The back of the tags:

I left the tag as it was and added my printed digital stamps to the front and back of it. Leaving a border around to appreciate the gorgeous original prize tag.

 I cut the printed images using a neat tool from recollection.

I, then, distressed the images and colored it using wink of stella in red, my new alcohol markers, and some Viva Decor glass effect gel in yellow.

A closer look to my finish tag:

This project was nice and simplistic. I love recycling neat objects, I have been collecting for a while, such as packages, prize tags, metallic covers, and plastic containers. So, I was super excited to used them.

I hope you enjoy my project and leave me your opinion.

Valentine Heart Box (Free SVG)

Mon Ami Gabby (at the Scrapbook Expo).

Here is my take to this fun challenge:

I made this 15 year anniversary box for my husband for our anniversary using the:

 I used some light gold glitter paper from my stash, some recollection cream paper, and some CTMH colonial white cardstock. I embellished the box using wedding and gold alpha stickers (color box, probably). the glitter round stickers with the pearl in the center are from recollection as well.

I bought this cute glittery and soft ribbon at Scrap N' More (in New Braunfelds) and the flower is from Mom Ami Gabby (at the Scrapbook Expo).

This box was super easy to cut using my Cricut Explorer and I even was able to score it.

I hope you enjoy this fun challenge and leave me some love ;-)

Have a wonderful week,

Vicky

Eureka Stamps Challenge #178 - Add Some Sparkle

We have a new Challenge at Eureka Stamp this week: 

Add Some Sparkle


 For my take, I decided to use a card, which I was making as part of my friend, Gloria, workshop from CTMH. I saw that card she had planned and remembered this Eureka stamp: Cascading hearts, which is perfect for this cascading heart card. Thus, I just replaced the stamped images, with die cuts from the stamped cascading hearts image.

14707 (514) Cascading Hearts

 Opened

Then, I colored the image with some wink of Stella marker, some ruby glass effect-, and glitter gel- pen from Viva Colors to add some sparkle to the card.

I did use the CTMH stamped sentiment, as well as the white glitter paper die cut (CTMH).

Some more views of this fun card:

I hope you decide to participate in this fun challenge and give me you opinion here as well:

Design Team: Burping Cloths Cake

Hi,
It's Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion  sharing with you a fun project I did for one of my children's teachers, who just became a Grandma for the first time:

 I decided to make a diaper cake inspired by one of our dear bloghoping friends: Hollie, but then got convinced otherwise ;-)

I collaborated in this project with my dear friend, Andrea (Stitched by Andrea). She is nuts about embroidering and sewing, and helped me making this super cute burping cloths:

She did, besides convincing me on the burping cloths, do a fantastic job.

I made the cake topper using the Disney-Pooh Font set cart, and made did card as well using my Cricut Explorer. I even did some writing with it ;-) (so proud of myself)...

2- I used Viva Color amber glass effect pen.
3- I cut the name and distressed the letters 
4- I distressed the bear a little bit using PowerPuff Amaretto chalk.

I used  Connie's shop  cabochon and button:

I attached a my gift card to the back and hanged it using 3 Girls Jam ribbon.

I wanted to add some "honey' to the honey jar (card) and I wish I had cut some more using my cricut, but I didn't have any extras. Thus, I used some splash images (also from Connie's shop) and inked it first with glitter alcohol markers (5+6), and them using some more amber Glass effect pen to mimic my cricut cut honey...
Papers are from many different manufacturers. 

I hope you enjoy this project as much as we did,
Have a wonderful weekend,

Don't forget to check out Connie's monthly Challenge!

Eureka Stamps Challenge #177 - Love Is In The Air/Valentine Cards

Eureka stamp Challenge theme this week is: 

Love Is In The Air/Valentine Cards

My project:

12805 Love Heart 

&

Inside  903 I Love You

For my card this week, I was inspired by several challenges online (besides ours ;-):

Share Joy Challenge 19: Sketch & Tic-Tac-Toe: hearts+ glitter+ embossing

And Latina crafter: 

Sketch # 55 + Twist de enero!!   I used the twist colors and theme.

Again for this card, I used my mini minc, still unsuccessful, but I still like the result (added shine to my letters instead of the holographic foil I was intending to do):

I used papers from CTMH, ribbon from 3- Girls Jam, Minc Foil, Heart veneers from Latina Crafter, "para ti" stamp also from Latina crafter,  Melissa Frances fine glitter, random hearts embossing machine (bought at a garage sell), and distressing tool from TH.

I added some glitter to my  veneer hearts, leaving the one of the LOVE heart without for extra interest.

In general a fun card to make for the non-cardmaker crafter.

I also got inspired by the following challenges:

Use your Stuff: http://useyourstuff.blogspot.com/2016/01/challenge-208-sequins-or-glitter.html

Glitter

Crafty Boots: http://craftybootschallenges.blogspot.com/2016/01/ribbon-or-lace.html

Ribbon

Best luck in our own challenge and have a wonderful week,

Vicky

Eureka Stamps Challenge #176 - Pile It On

Our Challenge theme this week at Eureka Stamps is:


Pile It On - Use up some of the STUFF you have been saving

Here is my take on this challenge, I decided to pile on tons of glitter as snow... 

27101 Snowflake Angel 

inside 16904 Let It Snow

The inside of the card: More snow: Chunky glitter

Papers are from CTMH. Ranger distress markers and blending pen from CTMH. Glitter, 2 different ones I don't recall from where i got them. Stickles, Ranger ( Connie's store), Decoart (snow paint)

Close up from my snow angel: Stickles on the wings, fine glitter in the snowflakes, snow paint for the fur in the hat and scarf:

I made my own snowflake dimensional element punching a scallop circle out of the B&T paper and adding chunky glitter and stickles, and a pearl full of stickles. The banner is cut from the B&T paperstrip:

 I hope you enjoy this card and leave me some comments,

Have a very blessed week and keep warm.
