I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch to create the flower and the Little Leaves Die. I used the Labels and Heart Framelits which will be carried over to the new catalog. I sprayed the frames with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz which you can hardly see on the pictures but OMG! it looks lovely in person! 

I used the Framed Tulips in the Flirtatious Specialty Paper and inked it up with Concord Crush using the Sponge Daubers. I stamped the heart and label frames with the Distressed Dots stamp and emboss them with white emboss powder.

Batman...It's Your Day!!

Hello mommy's friends,
Yesterday I had fun creating this Batman card with my mommy.  I had fun using the Cricut to make the Batman and my mommy's Big Shot to roll the emboss folder through and I got a chance to do it twice. I hope you like my card and you will try it with your kids or grand kids.  Thank you for stopping by to see my card:)

Huge Hug,

Mr. Pimentel

I had fun helping my son make this card.  He typed the intro post with a tiny help from mom:) This is a close up which shows the embossing on the Whisper White and Basic Black.  The sentiment was stamped with Not Quite Navy Classic Ink.

We used Basic Black, Whisper White, Textured Blush Blossom(retired) and the blue is from mom's old stash. The Sentiment is from Sale-A-Bration called Outlined Occasions Stamp Set which you can get for FREE with a $50 order before (Tax and Shipping)

I though I would share some fun pictures of 

Mr. Pimentel creating his card.

"Speeding Jets"

Hello My Crafty Friends,
I thought I would change things a bit and add a masculine card into the mix since I'm always making feminine cards!!! On today's card, I used the stamp set called "Need for Speed" I bought this stamp set because I seem to have very little masculine stamps plus my son really likes it!!!  I really have a hard time making masculine cards so, I kept it really simply! I also used Cajun Craze which I hardly use but works great for masculine cards.  Friends take a look at the Early Espresso TWINE that I used which is available in the SUMMER MINI catalog until August 31st hurry and stock up!  I also used a "NEW" emboss folder called Houndstooth available "NOW".  Stay tune as the rest of this week and next week I will be showcasing some of the wonderful products from the Summer Mini Catalog which will come to an end August 31st. Also remember the Buy 3 Designer Series Paper and get 1 FREE also ends 8/31 and I know many of you have already taken advantage of this promotion and I can't wait to see your creations!!! Thank you for visiting and until next time, Enjoy!!

Hugs,

Norma
