Dilo En Español! ~ Releases Today

Thank you for stopping by for the worldwide release of Dilo en Español. If you are here from Gaby's blog you are in the right spot, if you came here to check my blog out, you want to go and stop at Abby's so you can see all the wonderful creations along the way.

Today is a wonderful day for my dear Friend Abby as today is the official release of her new stamp sets

D I L O E N E S P A ñ O L

I was honored to be asked to help pass the word on these wonderful new stamps which are completely in Spanish, ideal for those of us that like to share our cards with our Spanish speaking family and friends. When she first told me about her idea I was ecstatic to hear that there would be such a product, the Spanish speaking population is HUGE and there is hardly any stamps that cater exclusively to the Spanish speaking market. I am very thankful that I was able to get a sneak peek of her 3 first new sets Suspirando con Tina (looove the title), Que Siga la fiesta and Queremos Pastel.

For my first card I used the "Que Siga la fiesta" set which has stamps for all major holidays and events (fiestas). For my first card I used the FELIZ DIA stamp combined with DE LAS BRUJAS which translates to Happy Witch's Day (Halloween).

For my card I used AC card stock in matching Halloween colors. I made a tent card, which is hard to appreciate in the picture, but this card opens up and the the cute little witch dangles from the middle of the card. Very cute! The little witch was from a digital set from an Argentinian artist, but she no longer has a website, so I can't give her credit :( because her link is no longer working and I don't know her name ). But is cute anyway so THANK U my Argentinian friend! I accented the card with yummy twine from The Twinnery. Which Abby also sells, so check out her store. And the stamps are so cute that I would not stop at one..... I saw this Freebie over at Peggy Loves Vintage Blog and I knew that I wanted to make a Thanksgiving card...to early you say... not at all! Fall and Halloween colors are interchangeable so since I already had my orange paper out .......here is what I made:

Here I used the FELIZ DIA stamp again and combined it with DE ACCION DE GRACIAS (Thanksgiving). The vintage image is just so cute it does not need much to make it stand out. I again used my fabulous TWINE and accented it with a cute little leaf brad. Hope you all liked what I made and come back later this week as I am already working on some other cards in ESPAñOL of course.

Now here is the blog hop list for you to follow, the next stop is Candance.

Scrapbookaholic By Abby: Dilo en Español Release Info!!

My Friend Abby is coming out with SPANISH all occasion stamps for those of you that could use Spanish sentiments, being in California you either speak Spanish or know someone that does. It can also be fun to send Spanish sentiments to non-speakers as a way to teach the recipient some phrases... I like to do that all the time!

Her release is this Friday so check out Abby's blog to see all the sets this Friday.

Barney SVG

Someone over at SVGcuts was looking for a Barney SVG. I looked around and did not find any detailed Barneys. As much as I was traumatized by this big purple fuzz ball, it was nice to make it for someone else and help them out. So here you go Charlee hope you can use.

Here is a the picure I used for the SVG:

You will need to draw the nose and details on the eyes as they are way too small to cut. Click H E R E to download. Enjoy!
