Hello crafty friends,
Today I am sharing a quick post featuring a card I created for the Die Cuts With A View February Stackaholic Challenge. Be sure to head over to their blog and join the fun!  So here is my card:
DCWV Cartographer Paper Stack Challenge Melinda Beltran
I used the new DCWV Cartographer Paper Stack. 
I have to say; I wasn’t so enthused with stack when I first saw it. I am not much of a traveler. BUT once I opened it up and looked through, I was inspired. The challenge is to use the sketch they provided.

Here is the sketch.

Here is a closer look at the sentiment. I designed the card with my Pazzles and cut out all the papers. I then embossed the sentiment.

Paper House Productions Southwest Adventure & Pazzles Scrapbook Layout Melinda Beltran

Hello crafty friends!
Today I am sharing my second post for the  Paper House Productions design team. I got the opportunity to work with the fantastic Southwest Adventure Paper Crafting Kit.  I decided to create scrapbook layout.  It showcases my beautiful niece Taylor. Here is what I came up with.

Here’s a closer look at the pretty Mosaic Butterfly stickers. I adhered them to some Kraft cardstock. I fussy cut them out of the Kraft cardstock and then used some foam tape to give them some lift. I sprinkled a few sequins around them for a little extra touch.

Here are the feathers I created and cut out. I dipped the tips in some gold glitter. I added one of the colored feathers from the cardstock sticker set included in the kit.

One last look at the completed layout. This layout features a picture of my beautiful niece Taylor. She is such a free spirit and marches to the beat of her own drum. This kit was the perfect choice to compliment her picture.

Today I am sharing a card I recently created for the Pazzles Craft Room.
SVG Heart Vine Card Pazzles Valentine Craft Smith Foil Idea


Here’s a look at my completed card. The finished size is 5.5 x 5.5. I started with a black cardstock base. I then cut a white cardstock mat and then used some patterned papers from the Silver Foil Craft Smith Company.

I then used some pearlized white paint and painted the mat. I left it purposely streaky for additional effect.

Here’s what the heart looked like before I put it on the card. I created the heart vine cut file exclusively for the Pazzles Craft Room.

Here’s a closer look at the banner. I stamped it with a retired stamp and then used some dimensional glue dots so that I could put the banner over the heart. I added some crystal gems to the flowers and on the ends of the banner.

Faith Journal Week 3 Hebrews 11-1

Happy Sunday crafty friends,
I missed last week’s faith journal post, so I want to catch up this week by sharing week 3 and then tomorrow I will share week 4.

So for week 3, the 15th through the 21st, our scripture reading was Hebrews 11.  This truly is one of my all time favorite passages. It is filled with such hope, inspiration and encouragement!  Here is my art page.
Faith Journal Hebrews 11 Art Page Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch
Here’s a look at what I created for this week. I started with a base of patterned paper from the DCWV Butterfly Garden Stack. I used a couple different pages from the stack. I fussy cut the label and layered it onto the butterfly paper.

Here’s a look at the little butterflies I added. I used a Martha Stewart punch and some of the Butterfly Garden Paper. I added some sparkle using my Spectrum Noir Glitter Marker Pen.

Here’s one of the other butterfly punches I used. I wanted a variety of butterflies.
