North Coast Creations Inspiration!!

Hello Friends !!!
  Today I would like to share with you some cards I made using recently release stamps from 
My first card:

all papers are scrap from my pile, and I wanted to try something different since I used watercolor pencil to color my image I wanted the bakground to look kind the same.... I used Glimmer Mist: Crushed Shells, Olive Vine and Midnight Blue, sprayed on my wet mat and left the blue out.... with all sraped i soak the layer of watercolor paper on top and let it soak very well... then set aside to dry and then sprayed the embossing folder  with the Midnight Blue mist add my soaked piece of paper and run it thru my machine and voula! the most amazing watercolor background as you can see!!!. then just add the die cut image from the set Flower Sentiments 7 the sentiment also from the set and the ribbon and mini clear rhinestones.  What do you think?  Isn't this lovely!!whole scene was made with the set 

 
For my second card:
I used image and sentiment from the set Flower Sentiments 8 used them to created a lovely Thinking of you card with one of my FAV color combination: pink and green! the images was colored using watercolor pencils, for the background I embossed the light green cardstock with dots and layered with a pink oblique border.  Add the cute pink bow to the bouquet and die cut the sentiment circle distress the edges.
What do you think?

Hello {North Coast Creations}

Hello again my friends !!!
  Today I would like to share with you some cards I made using recently release stamps from 
My first card:
 
 all papers are scrap from my pile, the whole scene was made with the set 
the grass and trees were stamped with Bamboo VersaColor, I stamped the grass 5 times, using brown ink stamped the big Deer from the set and my blue sky- used some prisma color pencil to do it! the blue background layer used my Dots embossing folder to do it and the brown layer, cut out the scene using Spellbinders Nestabilities labels 3 and cut it twice to make the blue border to add to my cut out scene, then I made a white banner and add using brown ink the sentiment Hello also from the set.
 
For my second card:
 
I have so many scrap on my pile that Im trying to get ride offf.... but I used and used and theres more and more..jijiji! so all paper are from that pile - i used the same set Deer Silhouette Greetings for this one I wanted to make a more clean card and only One layer card, so on that white layer I stamped my scene: brown Deer and green grasss stamped 6 times wanted to make the contrast one lighter and the other darker... but not sure it looks perfect! then on the tree i used both ink green and brown to give it a much fall feeling to the tree. Added this piece of mustard stripes on the left side I think it give the layer a new feel. The sentiment use a double banner cut out to add  the sentiment using brown ink. And to accent it a bit more I added the twine loops on the bottom and a mini bow with a brown button.
What do you think?
I love the set - and I think is one that everyone should have because it is just perfect for all those masculine card that we always struggle to create.

Happy Birthday boy!!! {North Coast Creations}

Hello, friends and Welcome to my blog!!! I'm here with very cute and simple Boyish Birthday card!  This one uses some fabulous products from  North Coast Creations Here's my card:
 All papers are from the scrap on my desk. I used the tractor and sentiment from the set I Dig You from NCC and the Pennant Swag from Our Daily Bread designs dies. I think that we struggle a lot to create masculine and boyish card and when I saw this set it was perfect!  Then swag has 2 mini bow on each end but i cut it and added the 2 red button, i think it looks better than the mini bow at least for this boy. And do you recognize the 2 dots on the wheels?? mini eyes, giggles ....What do you think?

Custom Notepad!! {Step by Step Tutorial}

Hello and Welcome to my blog!!
Wooo hoooo ! In the next few days I will be sharing with you some of our latest Creation that I've created for some wonderful customers and that I reallly love the outcome...
First,  This one is a very cute Custom Notepad that we created for a special Teacher who was leaving the country to follow her dream in acting.
Here's the step by step tutorial.

1.- Gather all supplies:  few color of cardstock, Designer Paper, Notepad, Mod Podge and sponge. You can't see it but spatula too!! :)


 2.- When you have your combination ready and all pieces cut, for this Notepad my pieces ( using 2 colors of CS )  (2) 7" x 5" White and Green, (2) 7" x 4" Orange and the (1) 7" x 2" for the blue border.
Then using the sponge and mod podge paste the CS and DP to front and back of notepad.
Tip: use your spatula to run from up to down a bit at time to paste. - that way you won't have any air bubbles caught up!  At the end you will have something like this:

3.- When I have my 2 pieces all pasted up, I run a thin layer of the Mod Pogde (did I mention that I have a great recipe for my own mod podge?) to the whole pieces but only to the fronts of each one. 

4.- When is all dry .... like 30 minutes later :)- you can go ahead and make the perforation to the edge of each piece,  for mine, I used my great for the job.... Cinch machine.
All perforation done!! Just add your pieces to your notepad.
5.- As a finished accent for the prettiness of my Notepads I always cut 2 pieces of white adhesive paper to add to the inside of each piece.- that way the cannot see all the pasting  and ends of CS & DP and my work looks clean you'll end up with something like this....


6.- For this special notepad I print and Die cut a  phrase for the front and her name and add them in place  to the front. If you like you can apply a thin layer of mod podge again to the cover so the phrase and name gets adhere completely ..... just let dry for another 30 minutes or so.....and Voula!!!  
Your Customed / Personalized notepad is all done!!

It will look something like this: (some other versions that I will share soon you will see the same Notepad but with lots of ribbon on the edge) :)


The customer was pleased with the outcome and the teacher loved it!! What do you think?
We can customized any notepad and also made your notepad from scratch if you like.
Be sure to check back again soon, I have other version of this custom Notepad to show you!!
