Handmade Tags And Sugar Scrub Tutorial!


Hello Crafter!
Carolina here, this week I'm sharing a quick & easy to make tutorial and
showcasing this new sentiment stamp called
'Peace, Love Joy' from  High Hopes 'Fall/Winter Stamps Release'

Are you looking for an easy to make handmade gift idea for your friend
 or kids teachers, you will love this tutorial!

Let me tell you how I created this elegant christmas tag!
 First stamped the sentiment with Versamark on black cardstock and used gold embossing powder. After I heat/emboss the sentiment I die cut some circles and scallop circles.

Here's a closer look at the stamp!

Here's what I used to created this coconut oil and brown sugar scrub.
First measure out how much brown sugar will fit in your jars or container.

This type of mason jar fit 1 cup of brown sugar!
So I used 1 cup of bs and 1/2 cup of coconut oil.

I mixed the coconut oil and brown sugar together.

Your scrub will look something like this when it's been mix enough.
No sugar lumps or chunks of oil still showing!
This smell so amazing and is a wonderful exfoliator for your body or face.

Here's what I used to decorated my handmade coconut oil and sugar scrub.

Seal the jar and attach the tag with some cute holiday ribbon or twine.

Creating A Snow Scene Tutorial!


Hello Crafter!
Carolina here, sharing my first tutorial and showcasing this new
stamp called 'Penguin Family Igloo' from  High Hopes 'Fall/Winter Stamps Release'

To begin my card, I first stamped 'Penguin Family Igloo' and coloured with alcohol markers.
Then fussy cut it, leaving a small white border. To embellish my penguin family, I add a mini pom-pom on one of the penguin hat, diamond stickles and gold gelly pen.

 This are the craft supplies I used to created my snow scene.

To begin my snow scene I first distressed my card base with 'broken china' distress ink.  
After my panel was all color I used S.U 'softly falling' embossing folder.

With the end of my paint brush I added some white paint in some of the snow dots.
While the paint was still wet I added glitter on.


To finish my scene I add more white paint here and there.
Die cut some Lawn Fawn stitched hillside border and assemble my snow scene
 by adding 3D foam tape, BOBUNNY 'altitude collection design paper and layers 
of white & black cardstock.


This is how my snow scene look!

Lawnscaping Challenge#140 Color Scheme!



Hello there, 
Today I'm sharing a super cute Halloween/wedding card I made
for a coworker, who is getting married on Halloween Day!

This adorable stamp is called 'Just Married' from High Hopes Stamps.
I started by coloring my image with copic markers. Them fussy cut it  
leaving a small white border. I pop the couple on 3D foam tape to give dimension.
Unfortunately I didn't have purple roses so I created my own purple roses by coloring   with "dusty concord" distress ink.   

Here is a close up!

The challenge rules is to used black, purple and another color of my choice.
So I decided to add gold! Just the right color for a teen wedding.

I hope you enjoyed my halloween/wedding card!
