TGF & Lifestyle Crafts Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Today I have a card and a video to share. I made this card for my niece that's turning 7 soon. Last year I made her a card and the girl had blonde hair and she got insulted since she's got red hair. LOL! This year I made sure that I gave the girl on her card some fiery red hair.

                             

My Card

                                       

I did use Copics to color her in but I'm not an expert in Copic coloring so I didn't film that. I figured there are some real professionals out on YouTube land that will guide you better if you were looking to learn how to use them.  I'm still a true beginner. The rest of the making of the card is on the video.

Lifestyle Crafts Affiliate

Hello everyone,

It has been a long long time.  I don't even know what happened. I have been crafting. I always am but I just haven't been updating my blog.  You want to know the main reason why. I'm on my phone 99% of the time. My computer is almost obsolete. LOL! I do post my projects on twitter. I find twitter so much easier cause I can just tag the manufacturer to the project and can upload the photo using my phone.  I have recently discovered that Blogger has an iphone app. Downloaded it but I havent' had a chance to play with it yet. Hopefully it'll let me add pics and video links straight from my phone which would be awesome since I haven't used my digital camera in like 6 months.

I've also recently became an affiliate of Lifestyle Crafts. I find their dies so cute and easy to use and so reasonable priced. I'm so so excited for this opportunity. I have made a few project with their dies that I've posted here on the blog. I believe a few had videos. I'll make sure to link them up at the bottom of this post and the best part is: By using the button link to the right hand side of my blog and putting in YARITZA in the coupon code section before checking out you will receive 20% off your WHOLE order ANYTIME! This is not a one time use only this is ALWAYS! Pretty cool huh? With this new venture in my crafting I'm going to start making a monthly video using my latest purchase from them.  It can vary between layouts, cards, mini books and altered projects. They will be posted on youtube and as well as on here with a blog post. I have also added underneath the Lifestyle Crafts button where you can find me in cyber world.  Click on the button and it'll take you straight to my page.

I guess this is all for now. Here are the link to my previous projects:

1. Halloween decorations
2. Bottle Cap Pin Cushion
3. Kindergarten Teacher Gift

Lifestyle Crafts Paper Bag die Halloween Decorations

Hello,
Here is a quick project I created using Lifestyle crafts Paper Bag die to decorate my mantle for this coming Halloween.

What is looks like in the dark:

Directions:

First thing die cut the Paper Bag. Here is chose to use vellum but you can use whatever type of paper you would like to use.

Next cut pumpkin faces out of scrap paper. You can use whatever method you'd like. You can trace pages of a coloring book, free hand draw it, use die cut, punches or even trace out stencils used to decorate real pumpkins. Attach them with repositionable adhesive. Remembering that the top of the bag will become the bottom so attache the pieces accordingly. Trace the outlines of the face with a pencil. 

Cut the outline with some precision scissors. This is the time to erase any pencil marks left behind.

I chose to cut the small tabs on the top off. Less place to worry about adhesive showing since it is vellum. If you use cardstock you may not have to worry about that. 

To assemble I simply added adhesive to the long skinny tab on the side and one of the top tabs. Insert a flameless candle and you have a really cute decoration for your mantle. You could also use this to line your walkway of your home on Halloween night if it's not raining.
