Need a t-shirt for your next Mexican Fiesta? I got'chu, girl!
This design was inspired by traditional Mexican embroidery which is colorful and vibrant. The hand lettered text reads "Viva Mexico" and the little butterfly completes the sentence by saying "Cabrones!" Cute, feminine design featuring your favorite quote filled with Mexican pride. Hecho con amor para todas las mujeres Mexicanas y Mexico-Americanas. Felíz Día Internacional de La Mujer. May this day bring awareness to all the wonderful contributions women have made throughout history and the valuable contributions we continue to make right before our very eyes. También espero que pronto llegue el dia en que la vida de la mujer, sus decisiones, derechos y su trabajo sean valorados mundialmente, igual que los hombres. Dios nos siga abriendo camino y sigamos pa' delante - no se rajen, chingonas!
Xo, Dio NEW IN THE SHOP! I recently had a request for an SVG file of my existing "Better Late than Fea" design featured on my coffee mugs. Since I am already using that design, I decided to create a similar one, which frankly, I'm excited to use as well! This design is horizontal in nature which makes it PERFECT for decorating your own canvas makeup bags with iron-on vinyl and your Cricut machine. This file is sold with limited commercial license. Make sure to read the terms of use in the description when purchasing to ensure it meets your needs.

tHi friend, como estás? Honestly, I've been on a roller coaster of emotions lately...ratitos beaming with gratitude and joy and other times laying wide awake at night pondering ALL the things...que ya estoy engordando, que people are crazy, que the elections, que I want to quit my job - but what kind of loca would actually leave their job during a pandemic?
Real life stuff, my friend. Luckily I have YOU and my "Que Lettering Tan Fancy" SVG Club Members to give me hope and keep me inspired.

Spanglish Post: I used to be the type that would roll out of bed, shower and go. No makeup, no breakfast, just rush to the office, pour me a cup of coffee as soon as I arrive, put on my lipstick while my computer starts up and dig into my stash of snacks that I keep in the office fridge and in my desk drawer, then eat/drink while I check my email and settle in for the day.
After turning 40 though, I realized I couldn't do that anymore...my complexion is more pale than it used to be, the dark circles are very noticeable now and in order to feel a little more confident at the office and look a bit more "healthy" (with color on my cheeks) I was going to have to put a little more effort in the morning and at least wear some blush and curl my hair - I just knew I had to do something to look more put together and not so tired. Girl, I have to tell you, I am sooo lucky to work in a place where I can arrive any time before 9:30am and not be considered late, porque now that a little bit of glam is required in order for me to look half-way decent, casi nunca llego antes de las 9am. So, this design is for you, makeup lover! And for ladies like me who woke up one day and realized that maybe a little bit of makeup does help after all. =]

A friend of mine recently alerted me to this new device called the Foil Quill*, a heat pen that allows you do draw freehand over foil as it transfers your designs onto paper. That is a like a dream come true for a paper lover like myself, so of course I had to have it! The pen comes packaged with a roll of foil and a USB cord that you can plug onto the wall with an adaptor. It's not a very long cord, but I'm sure you can also plug it into your computer. Once I plugged it in, I gave it a few minutes to warm up while I secured a piece of foil onto a sheet of card stock with washi tape and warmed up my hand doing a few lettering and doodle exercises on an extra sheet of paper. After 5 minutes or so, the pen was ready and I began to draw directly on the foil. I drew slowly to ensure each stroke had enough heat to transfer. Once I was done, I used a variety of paper punches to cut out my individual designs which I will be using to make gift tags and gift enclosures. As you can see, the edges turn out a little rough. It doesn't have the precision that a laser would have, but it's not quite as noticeable from farther away. Besides, I think the rough lines give it a little more of that hand made touch. If you'd like to give this pen a try, I've included my affiliate link below for your convenience. It's a pretty fun tool to add to your collection; it definitely gives you the opportunity to expand your creativity and add a special touch to your paper projects.
