Stack-a-holic Challenge #DCWV

Hello, this is Yolie from the Social Media Design Team with today's project featuring The Birds and Butterflies Stack.


The May Stack-a-holic Challenge challenge is in full swing and so I am sharing my take on the card sketch.


My card measures 5" x 5".  I cut the free wreath and thank you SVG files to fit my card size.  I used several pattern papers from the stack, leaving the purple glitter paper as my card base.  



I adhered the wreath with 3M Quick Dry glue and used Glue Dots to adhere the "thank you". 
No embellishments needed.  I felt the glitter paper was enough for this colorful thank you card.


Hope to see your participation in this month's challenge. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your week.

Burlap Wall Organizer #eBrush

I shared this quick and easy stenciling project using the eBrush on the Craftwell blog last week. 

I purchased a burlap wall organizer at my local dollar store.  It's sturdy enough to hold mail, paper, notepads.  A simple stenciling with IN & OUT on the pouches will do.


Using the stencils by Teresa Collins, I masked off the other letters in the stencil and used a Sharpie and the eBrush to personalize the organizer.


I also eBrushed a tag and added a couple of clothespins for special notes.  A quick tip, remember to lift your stencil off the material carefully.  The ink sometimes doesn't dry quick enough and if you're not careful, you can get ink stains on your material.  I got a bit of ink stains from the letter "o".  I'm okay with it because it's burlap. :) :)




Thank you for visiting today, enjoy your week.

Cinco de Mayo Blog Hop Fiesta

Welcome and Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am your last stop of the hop.  You should have arrived from the mega talented Pam's blog, but if you want to start from the beginning, please visit Craftwell's blog.

Today I am sharing my version of papel picado.  I designed my own to include flowers for a little more extra dimension.  Here is the screenshot of the components.

I used several pattern paper from Sabor Papel.  I used my scraps to cut the small flowers, so save those scraps.  I stamped the inside liner with Latina Crafter's stamp and cut the word "celebra = celebrate" on glitter paper.  Translation:  Today is the day to Celebrate
{Oh and that ink pad, love, need to get the other colors!}

I used Craftwell's grid embossing folder to emboss the yellow panel. Love the waffle look!


Here is my card assembled.


The inside of the card.

I love the embossed background and so loving the flowers!

Pocket Graduation Invitations #Craftwell

It's graduation season.  Hello this  is Yolie sharing the graduation invitations I made for my niece's party.

They were quick and easy to make.  I took a free pocket file and cut it on my electronic machine.  I then used the Cut N Boss to emboss the pocket with a music note embossing folder.



Here is one of the 15 invitations I made.  The embossing is simply beautiful.


Thanks for visiting and enjoy your week.

Wedding Candle #SaborPapel

Welcome to another Wedding Wednesday. Today I'm sharing a Día de Muertos Wedding Candle.

I used La Novia and El Novio from Sabor's Amor collection to decorate the candle holder.



I fussy cut the bride and groom to fit the height of the glass candle holder.  I then wrapped the pattern paper to the glass holder and used hot glue to adhere.
Before adding the happy couple, I added jute, tule and a tag to the top.  Instead of the green tulle, I decided to go with the teal tulle.
I then took the couple and used pop dots to adhere.
 


I simply love the dimension the pop dots add to the images.

Here is a closeup of the bride and groom, I must say I am so loving her earrings!


Thank you for visiting today.
