Birds Birthday Collage Duo

Moram priznati, da se v kolažu še nisem preizkusila. Voščilnici, za kateri sem inspiracijo črpala iz tokratnega "CASE Study Challengea #101", katerega ustvarjalni navdih je še vedno nadarjena "Kristii Lockart - Sincerely Yours", sta prvi take vrste. Bilo je kar zabavno, tako da se jih bom gotovo še lotila v prihodnosti. Tole pa je moja kreacija: Izdelala sem tudi notranjost, ko je razvidno z druge in četrte fotografije...

I have to admit I never before engaged myself in a "collage" cards. Those two, for which the inspiration came from this week's "CASE Study Challenge #101", which is still inspired by the talented "Kristii Lockart - Sincerely Yours", are the firt of that kind. It was fun doing them so I will definatelly be back with some of the "collage cards" in the near future. And this is my today's creation: I did the inside too as you can see on the second and the fourth picture...

Uporabila sem papirje "K&Company - Best of Brenda Walton". Collage izrezki so iz kolekcije "The Winterbird Collection". Uporabila sem še nekaj kristalčkov in napise iz kolekcij "Botanical Butterflies" in "Violette Vintage Labels", ki sem jih odtisnila z rjavo barvo. Robovi so senčeni z distress črnilom Tima Holtza "Vintage Photo".

Papers are from "K&Company - Best of Brenda Walton". Collage images are from "The Winterbird Collection". I've used some pink gemstones and sentiments from JustRite collections "Botanical Butterflies" and "Violette Vintage Labels", which I stamped in brown. The edges are distressed with Tim Holtz's distress pad "Vintage Photo".

Vsem vam želim nadvse prijeten večer in uspešen začetek novega delovnega tedna. Pozdravček,

I wish to all of you a great evening and a successful start of a new working week. Blessings,

Aleksandra

Sweet Birthday Wishes

V zadnjih nekaj dneh sem izdelala nekaj novih voščilnic, ki pa jih še nisem uspela objaviti. Prva je nastala za "The paper shelter DT call", z njihovimi čudovitimi digiji, ki sem jih kar nekaj časa občudovala, predno sem se nekaj mesecev nazaj opogumila in jih nekaj kupila. Tako so prisrčni in čudoviti za barvanje in ustvarjanje. Design team call je odprt do 20. julija, zato kar pogumno v akcijo. ;) Barvna paleta je iz tokratnega, jubilejnega "Color Throwdown Challengea #200". Čestitke! Tole pa je moj izdelek:

In the last few days I made some new cards that I didn't yet have the opportunity to share. The first one was made for "The Paper Shelter DT cal", with their gorgeous digis, which I for a long time longed for and finaly bought a couple of months ago. They are really cute and gorgeous and fun to work with. The DT call is open till 20th of july, so into the action you go! ;) The color palette is from this week's jubilee "Color Throwdown Challenge #200". Congratulations Ladies! :) You've done an amazing job and I am proud that I was able to be a part of some of your challenges. And this is my today's creation:

Ker je posebna objava za DT call ne bom pisala o podrobnostih izdelave voščilnice, ampak bom raje objavila povezave do nekaj mojih voščilnic, kjer so v ospredju barvani odtisi:

Since it is a special blog post for the DT call I won't put on the details about making a card, instead of it I will list some of the links to my cards with coloured images, so it would be easier to form a picture of my work in that field. Here they go:

1. Spring Swing
2. Love Birds
3. Birthday Picnic
4. Cherish You
5. 2 You
6. Love warms every nest
7. Hydrangea symphathy card
8. Peach Butterfly Birthday

Ostali izdelki pa so seveda dostopni pod starejšimi objavami na blogu. Uživajte v dnevu!

The rest of my work can be found on my blog. Enjoy the day!

Love warms every nest

Še ena hitra objavica za danes. Inspiracija na "CASE Study Challengeu #98" s čudovito "Kristii Lockart" je bila enostavno preveč mamljiva. :)

One quick post for today. The inspiration on this week's "CASE Study Challenge #98" with amazing "Kristii Lockart" was just too tempting to let it pass by without me making a card. :)

Štampiljka je digi freebie. Žal se ne spomnim kje sem ga našla. Pobarvala sem jo z akvarelnimi barvicami in waterbrushem, izrezala in pritrdila s 3D blazinicami. Za ozadje sem uporabila srček "Anita's", ki sem ga odtisnila v modri barvi. Napis "Love" je iz kolekcije "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four", napis spodaj "warms every nest" pa iz kolekcije "Crafty Secrets, Clear Art Stamps - Heartwarming Vintage collection". S štanco sem izrezljala še srček in ga s 3D blazinicami pritrdila poleg napisa. Robove sem osenčila z distress blazinicami "Vintage Photo, podlago popršila z misterjem "Antique Linen" in dodala še modro ozadje.

The image is digital freebie. Unfortunately I don't remember where did I get it from. I colored it with aquarel pencils and waterbrush, cut it out and attached it with 3D foam tape. For the background I used stamp from "Anita's", which I stamped in blue. The "Love" sentiment is from "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four" collection, the bottom sentiment is from "Crafty Secrets, Clear Art Stamps - Heartwarming Vintage collection". I cut out a heart with a punch and attached it with 3D foam tape next to the sentiment. I distressed edges with "Vintage Photo and sprayed a base of the card with mister in "Antique Linen". I added a blue background.

Vsem skupaj želim en čudovit dan. Pozdravček.

I wish to all of you one great day tomorrow! Blessings.

Lady Medalion Birthday

Navadno mi je težavneje ustvarjati z močnejšimi barvami, raje imam nežnejše, pastelne odtenke. Kljub izrazitejši barvni paleti na tokratnem "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC138" je tako izpod mojih prstov prišla še ena nekoliko nežnejša voščilnica. Uporabila sem skico tokratnega "Mojo Monday Challenge 248".

I have to say I prefer creating with soft and pastel colors and despite the quite striking color palete this week over at "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC138" I couldn't avoid making another soft and tender piece. I used a sketch from this week's "Mojo Monday 248".

Za osnovo sem uporabila modro siv karton "Bazzill Basics Paper", ki sem ga po robovih natrgala, da sem dobila nekoliko bolj "Shabby Chic" videz. Nanj sem pritrdila papir z oranžno-rdečim vzorcem iz kolekcije "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic". Po sredini sem dodala belo čipko, ki sem jo zgoraj zavezala v pentljo in dodala roza vrtnico iz kolekcije "Little Birdie - Handmade Boutique Elements". Za osrednji element sem uporabila roza medaljonček "La Fourmi - Beads & Perles", kovinski okvirček za medaljonček, ki sem ga pobarvala z belo barvo in posula z belimi bleščicami ter okrasila z oranžnimi in rdečimi kristalčki ter štampiljke "JustRite - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty" in spelbinderjeve šablone "Labels Twenty". Zgornji okvirček ima podlago iz belega papirja posutega z bleščicami in embosiranega kartona.

I used grey-blue cardstock from ""Bazzill Basics Paper" for the base of the card and I cut and distressed it on the edges to give them more "shabby chic" look. Over it I attached the paper with orange and red pattern from the "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic" collection. I added white lace along the base and made a bow on top. I also added a pink flower from "Little Birdie - Handmade Boutique Elements". For the main motif of the card I used pink lady medalion from "La Fourmi - Beads & Perles", a metal frame for the medalion which I colored with white and added some glitter on it. I also decorated it with orange and red gemstones. I decorated it with "JustRite stamps - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty" and "Spellbinders Nestabilities - Labels Twenty". The top layer is made from white background paper with glitter and from white embossed cardstock on top of it.

Imejte se lepo in uživajte v vročem poletju. :)

Have fun and enjoy the hot summertime. :)

Wedding Cake and JustRite Friday Challenge #075

Dolgo je že minilo od moje zadnje objave. Več kot mesec in pol. Kljub temu, da sem pogrešala moje večerne ustvarjalne urice pa žal časovno ni zneslo, saj sva z možem zaključevala z gradnjo hiše in s selitvijo. S tremi majhnimi otroci pa zna to biti zelo naporno in časovno zelo zelo zamudno. Večja dela so zdaj mimo in počasi počasi se vračamo v ustaljeni ritem. Kljub temu pa bo moja današnja objava nekoliko krajša, saj še vedno "lovim" trenutke za počitek, ki jih ni prav veliko. Tokrat sem se oglasila, da objavim svojo voščilnico za blogovski izziv "JustRite Friday Challenge #075", ki je tokrat barvni izziv. Pred časom sem tam s svojim izdelkom prejela častni naziv zmagovalke in čudovito nagrado, ki se jo seveda že preizkusila. Spremljala sem tudi vse vmesne izzive, imela nekaj čudovitih idej, pa vendar premalo časa, da bi jih tudi udejanila. No tokrat pa mi je le uspelo... čeprav v zadnjem trenutku... :) Tole je moja voščilnica:

It's been a while since my last post on the blog. More than a month and a half. Although I truly missed my late evening creative hours, there was unfortunately not enough time and energy, since my husband and I were finishing the building of our new house and moving to the new place. With three very small children this can get very exhausting. Mostly the big things are over now, although we still have some work to do. So my post for today will also not be the longest one since it is still hard for me to find a time to get some rest. Today I am publishing a card that I made for this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #075", which is this time color challenge with a gorgeous color palette. A while ago I won in the contest and received an awesome prize which I allready tried out and the stamp sets are amazing. I also followed the blog and all of the challenges and had some pretty god ideas also, but unfortunately not enough time to put them in reality. But I made it this time... although in last moments. :) And this is my version of the card for the challenge:

Inspiracija je tako z barvne palete kot tudi s slike, saj se izdelala voščilnico v obliki poročne torte. Uporabila sem štampiljke "JustRite - Plant a Little Love Borders and Centers", "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies Clear" in "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four - Cling". Na levi strani v notranjosti sem izdelala žepek za denarno darilo, ki je vedno bolj v navadi za slovenske mladoporočence.

I took the inspiration from both the picture and the color palette and made a card in a shape of a wedding cake. I used stamp sets "JustRite - Plant a Little Love Borders and Centers", "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies Clear" and "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four - Cling". On the left side of the inside of the card I made a little pocket to hold a money wedding gift which is getting more and more popular in Slovenia.

Uživajte in upam, da se beremo kmalu. :) Pozdravček...

Have fun I and hope to see you soon again. :)

With Love on Your Birthday

Nekatere stvari so enostavno čudovite. In ravno to se mi je podilo po glavi, ko sem prvič ugledala tole čudovito origami rožico. Izdelala jo je Jeanne J. na svoji voščilnici, ki jo je prijavila v takratni CASE Study Challenge in s čudovito kreacijo tudi zmagala. Ko je kasneje na svojem blogu "A Kept Life" objavila še tutorial, se ji seveda nisem mogla upreti in s tokratno skico na "Mojo Monday Challenge 240" je prišla tudi idealna priložnost, da rožico sprobam. Nad rezultatom sem več kot navdušena in jo bom zagotovo še uporabila. Tole pa je voščilnica, ki je nastala:

Some things are just gorgeous. And that is exactly what came to my mind when I first saw this beautiful folded flower. It was made by Jeanne J. on her gorgeous creation that she entered into current CASE Study Challenge and ofcourse... won. When she, later on, published also a tutorial on her blog "A Kept Life", I couldn't resist and this week's sketch over at "Mojo Monday Challenge240" was a perfect chance to use it. I am thrilled over the result and will definately be using it often. This is the card that I made:

Za osnovo sem uporabila zelen karton "Bazzill Basics Paper" in dizajnerski papir iz kolekcije "K&Company - Elegance", ki sem ga ob robovih ročno obšila z zeleno nitjo. Na desni strani sem dodala pas iz dizajnerskega papirja "BoBunny - Alissa So Cute", iz istega papirja pa sem izdelala tudi rožico. Slednjo sem pritrdila na rožico iz lepenke, ki sem jo pobarvala z zeleno barvo in okrasila z zelenim "Ultra Fine Flower Softom". Vse skupaj sem pritrdila na embosiran krog, ki je s 3D blazinicami pritrjen na osnovo voščilnice. Dodala sem še mali tagec z voščilom, ki sem ga sama oblikovala in natisnila. Uporabila sem paus papir in papirje "Authentique - Uncommon". Na sredino sem dodala dva metuljčka, ki sem ju odtisnila s štampiljko iz kolekcije "JustRite Cling - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty", v zeleni barvi, ju izrezala in okrasila z roza perlico. Spodaj sem dodala tudi zelen trak čipko iz kolekcije "Tilda's".

I used green cardstock from "Bazzill Basics Paper" and some patterned paper from the collection "K&Company - Elegance2 for the base of the card. I stiched it by hand on the edges. On the right side I added some patterned paper from "BoBunny - Alissa So Cute", from the same paper I also made a folded flower. I attached flower onto a chipboard flower that I colored with green and embelished with green "Ultra Fine Flower Soft". I attached all to the embossed circle, which I attached to the base of the card with 3D foam tape. I added a little tag with a sentiment that I designed by myself and printed out. I used paus paper and papers from a collection "Authentique - Uncommon". I added two butterflies, which i stamped with "JustRite Cling - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty" in green, cut them out and embellished them with pink pearls. I also added a green lace ribbon from "Tilda's" collection.

Upam, da vam je voščilnica všeč in da čudovito preživljate vikend! Jutri je nedelja, izkoristite jo kar se da čudovito!

Hope you like it and I hope that you are wonderfuly spendind your weekeend. Tomorrow is sunday, hope it will be a gorgeous one for all of you!

Hydrangea Sympathy Card

Ena ekstremno kratka objavica za danes, voščilnice, katerih se redko lotevam. Hvala Bogu. Toda včasih so neizogibne. Inspiracija je bil "Flourishes Noon Time Challenge - Pretty in Purple".

One extremly short blog post for today, of a card that I don't make often. Luckily. But sometimes we can not escape them. The inspiration was this week's "Flourishes Noon Time Challenge - Pretty in Purple".

Uživajte v vikendu! :)

Have fun and enjoy! :)

Something Blue

Odločila sem se, da naredim še kakšno knjigo voščilnico, saj se mi zdijo odlične za poročno darilo. Tokratna pa je, zaradi darilca, ki ga skriva, še posebej primerna kot darilo za bodočo nevestico. V njej se namreč skrivajo uhančki, ki jih lahko nevesta nosi na svoj poročni dan. :) Inspiracija je bil tokratni "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC130" in "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #57".

I decided to make another book-card, since I think they are ideal for the wedding presents. The one that I made this time is especially appropriate as a gift for the bride, since it has a matching earings that a bride can wear on her wedding day. :) The inspiration was this week's "The Play Date Cafe PDCC130" and "Sketcbook Saturday Challenge #57".

V tej objavi ne bom opisovala celotnega postopka izdelave voščilnice knjige, ampak bom samo naštela materiale, ki sem jih uporabila za svoj projekt. Uporabila sem akvarel papir kot osnovo za voščilnico. Papirjo so "Bo Bunny", "K&Company - Terri Conrad: Lovely" in "Authentique - Uncommon". Uporabila sem tudi blago "Tilda". Štampiljke so od "Anita's" (srce), ptički so od Artemia. Odtisnila sem jih na skrčljivo folijo in jih segrela, da sem dobila okrasek za voščilnico. Robove sem obdelala z robno štanco od "Artemia". Izdelala sem tudi uhančke in broško za ženina.

I won't here in this post describe all of the procedure of making a book-card, so I will only list matterials used. I used a aquarel paper for the base of the card, papers are from "Bo Bunny", "K&Company - Terri Conrad: Lovely" and "Authentique - Uncommon". I also used a "Tilda's" fabric. Stamps are from "Anita's" (heart) and birdies are from "Artemio". I stamped the onto shrinking plastic and heated them to make an embellishment for the card. I embellished the edges wit the edge punch from "Artemio". I also made a matching earings and a brooch for the groom.

Upam, da sta vam moji današnji objavi všeč. Vesela bom vaših komentarjev in uživajte do naslednjič! :)

Hope you like my posts for today. I will be happy of your comments and enjoy till the next post! :)

Peach Butterfly Birthday and JustRite Friday Color Challenge #071

"JustRite" so bile ene izmed mojih prvih štampiljk in danes imam slednjih v zbirki še največ. Šele pred kratkim pa sem odkrila njihov blog s petkovimi izzivi in se pridružila tokratnemu "JustRite Friday Color Challenge #071 - Perfect Pastels". Uporabila pa sem za inspiracijo tudi eno od preteklih skic "Sketcbook Saturday Challenge #37" nadarjene "Iwone Palamountain aka Chupa". Nastala je tale kolekcija:

"JustRite" were one of the first stamps I longed for and eventually bought them and today this is one of the biggest representatives in my stamps stash. I do have to buy some new ones that are gorgeous in the near future. Not long ago I discovered their blog with friday challenges and decided to join their "JustRite Friday Color Challenge #071 - Perfect Pastels". For the further inspiration I also used a past sketch from "Sketcbook Saturday Challenge #37" from talented "Iwona Palamountain aka Chupa". This is the collection I've made:

Preveč bi bilo, če bi za celo kolekcijo želela pisati postopek izdelave, saj je voščilnica dokaj zahtevna z ogromno detajli. Zato bom naštela samo uporabljene materiale: karton je od "Bazzill Basics Paper", papirji so od "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "Authentique - Uncommon" in "My Mind's Eye - Lost and Found Two: Sunshine". Štampiljke so "JustRite Clear - Botanical Butterflies" in "JustRite Cling - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty". Vrtnice sem izdelala sama in jih na vrhu pomočila v "Ultra Fine Flower Soft - Citrus Crush".

It would just take too long to describe all the procedure of making a gift collection, so I will only list materials that I've used: cardstock is from "Bazzill Basics Paper", papers are from "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "Authentique - Uncommon" and "My Mind's Eye - Lost and Found Two: Sunshine". Stamps are from "JustRite Clear - Botanical Butterflies" and "JustRite Cling - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty". I made roses by myself and dipped them into "Ultra Fine Flower Soft - Citrus Crush".

Vesela bom vaših komentarjev. Vsem vam želim en prečudovit dan še naprej!

I will be happy if you visit me and leave me your comment. :) I wish to all of you a gorgeous day ahead!

2 You

Včasih voščilnica kar pade iz glave in je narejena v trenutku, brez večjih sprememb idejnega osnutka. Velikokrat pa se mi groba ideja za voščilnico porodi, potem pa potrebujem kar nekaj časa, da v mislih dokončno izoblikujem idejo, pa tudi potem jo v realnosti pogosto še spreminjam in prilagajam. Tudi za to voščilnico sem rabila skoraj en teden, da sem jo dokončno domislila. Inspiracija je bil tokratni "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC129". Tole pa je moj izdelek:

Sometimes I have the idea for the card in my mind set to go right from the start and in creating process I don't change that idea much or at all. But in a lot of cases I get the rough idea but then need a lot of time to shape it in my mind and then also in reality. That was also the case for today's card for which I needed almost a week to finally get to it and finish it off. The inspiration was from this week's "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC129". This is what I've made:

Najprej sem natisnila motiv lilij, ki je digitalna štampiljka, skupaj z dodanim verzom, ki sem ga sama oblikovala. Izrezala sem motiv s šablono "Spellbinders Nestabilities - Grand Labels Four" in ga pobarvala z akvarelnimi barvicami in vodnim čopičem. Ponovno sem natisnila in pobarvala tri cvetove lilij, jih izrezala in jih s 3D blazinicami pritrdila na obstoječe. V sredini sem jih olepšala s "Ultra Fine Flower Softom". Odtisnila sem dva metuljčka s štampiljko "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" v zeleni barvi, ju izrezala in pritrdila na sredini ter dodala dva vijolična biserčka. Za osnovo sem izbrala vijoličen papir iz kolekcije "Bo Bunny" in zelenkast svetlikajoč papir iz kolekcije "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic". Spodaj sem dodala še zelen trakec in vijoličnega metuljčka z zelenim biserčkom.

I first printed out the lilies which were a freebie image and added a sentiment that I designed by myself. I cut out the motiv with "Spellbinders Nestabilities - Grand Labels Four" and colored it with aquarel color pencils and waterbrush. I printed out three more lilies, colored them, cut them out and attached them with a 3D foam tape to the existing ones. I embellished them with "Ultra Fine Flower Soft" in the centers. I stamped two butterflies with "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" in yellowish green color, cut them out and attached them in the middle. I added two little rhinestones in purple. For the base I decided to use a purple paper from "Bo Bunny" and a greenish shinny paper from "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic". I added a green twine at the bottom and a purple butterfly with a light green rhinestone.

Vesela bom vaših komentarjev in mnenj. Upam, da lepo preživljate proste dni in vam želim čudovit jutrišnji dan!

I will be happy if you decide to leave me a comment with your opinion. I hope you are spending your free days nicely and I wish to all of you a fabulous day tomorrow!

Aleksandra

Take time Birthday

Tale voščilnica sicer ni izpadla tako dobro kot sem pričakovala, ampak vseeno sem zadovoljna z njo. Inspiracija sta bila tokratni "Color Combos Galore Inspiration Board #228" in tokratni "Sketcbook Saturday Challenge #56". Pri prvem sem uporabila dodatno inspiracijo, ki so jo predstavljali listki na prtikič na slikici.

This card didn't come out quite as I expected but still I am kind of satisfied with it so I'll post it. The inspiration comes from this week's "Color Combos Galore Inspiration Board #228" and "Sketcbook Saturday Challenge #56". At first one I drawn and additional inspiration - leaves that were on the napkins.

Za osnovo voščilnice sem uporabila dizajnerske papirje iz kolekcije "First Edition Papers - New Leaf" in blago "Tilda". Izrezala sem krog iz brezovega lubja, ga nekoliko stanjšala in pritrdila na osnovo voščilnice. Dodala sem še pas belega papirja, ki sem ga embosirala s "Tim Holtzovo" embosirno mapico z vzorcem lesa in ga osenčila z distress črnili "Antique Linen" in "Pumice Stone". Natisnila sem freebie verz "Take time for yourself", ga izrezala in pritrdila na osnovo vošilnice. Na del z blagom sem v temno sivi barvi odtisnila napisa "Happy Birthday" s štampiljko iz kolekcije "Just Rite - Fleur De Lis Labels Eighteen". Glavni motiv predstavlja lesen ptiček na vejici, ki sem ga pobarvala z distress črnili, ptička pa sem prekrila z dizajnerskim papirjem iz kolekcije "First Edition Papers - Dreamcatcher". Dodala sem še siv trak za okras.

For the base of the card I used papers from "First Edition Papers - New leaf" and a "Tilda" fabric. I cut out the round shape from a birch bark and attached it on a base of the card. I added a band of a white cardstock which I embossed with "Tim Holtz's embossing folder woodgrain and shaded it with distress pads "Antique Linen" and "Pumice Stone". I printed out a freebie sentiment "Take time for yourself", cut it out and attached it to the base of the card. On a piece of a fabric I stamped "Happy Birthday" from "Just Rite - Fleur De Lis Labels Eighteen" in dark grey. As a main motif I attached a wooden bird on a tree-bunch, that I colored with distress inks. I covered the bird with patterned paper from "First Edition Papers - Dreamcatcher". I also added a grey piece of ribbon.

Vesela sem in bom vaših komentarjev. Upam da se imate lepo in vam vsem želim še lepši prihajajoči vikend.

I am and I will be happy of your comments. :) Hope you enjoy your time and I wish to all of you a great weekeend ahead! Have fun!

Patchwork Flower Birthday

Nekatera orodja in materiali ki jih kupim, včasih kar dolgo čakajo na svojo priložnost. Tako je bilo tudi s tem luknjačem. No zdaj je končno prišel na vrsto. Inspiracija za postavitev je s tokratnega "Mojo Monday Challengea #238", barvna in tematska inspiracija pa s tokratnega "The Shabby Tea Room Challengea - Week #111: April Showers". Nastala pa je tale voščilnica:

Some of the materials that I buy for my crafting just never get a chance to be used or they are waiting for a long long time. The punch that I used for my latest project is one of them. I love it, but never had an idea to use it. The inspiration for the latest card for the sketch came from this week's "Mojo Monday Challenge #238", the color and theme inspiration is from this week's "The Shabby Tea Room Challenge - Week #111: April Showers". This is the card that I made:

Uporabila sem štiri različne potiskane papirje iz kolekcije "K&Company - Best of Brenda Walton" za vsako voščilnico, iz njih izrezala kvadratke in jih zluknjala z luknjačem "XCut - Moroccan Mosaic" in jih v ponavljajočem se vzorcu pritrdila na belo podlago. Vse skupaj sem pritrdila na nekoliko večji zelen karton "Bazzill Basics Paper" in vse skupaj še na nekoliko večji roza dizajnerski papir iz iste kolekcije, ki sem ga na robovih pritrgala. Dodala sem širok zelen trak z nekoliko vintage izgledom, rožico "Prima Flowers", ki sem jo okrasila z dvema dekorativnima iglama. Izrezala sem okvirček in nanj odtisnila napis "Happy Birthday" iz kolekcije štampiljk "Just Rite - Fleur de Lis Labels Eighteen" in dodala nekaj paerlic.

I used four different patterned papers from the collection "K&Company - Best of Brenda Walton" for each of the cards, cut out the little squares and punched them with 2xCut - Moroccan Mosaic". I attached them to a white base in a repeated pattern. I attached all of it to a bigger green piece of cardstock from "Bazzill Basics Papers" and to a pink piece of patterned paper with dots from the same collection, that I thorn of by the edges. I added a big green ribbon with a slightly vintage touch, flower from "Prima Flowers", that I embellished with two pins. I cut out the piece of a patterned paper and stamped "Happy Birthday" on it with a stamp from "Just Rite - Fleur De Lis Labels Eighteen" and added some pearls.

Kasneje se oglasim še z drugo voščilnico, ki sem jo naredila v teh dneh. Lepo se imejte!

I will be back with another card that I made during the last days. Enjoy the res of the day!

Dream Big Birthday

Kot obljubljeno še ena objavica na mojem blogu danes. :) Zadnje čase me pri ustvarjanju privlači blago kot dodatek. Tako sem ga uporabila tudi na svoji naslednji kreaciji. Barvna inspiracija je s tokratnega "The Play Date Cafe Challengea PDCC128". Pritegnila me je tudi pikčasta kravata na sliki in pa čudovite rožice. Postavitev je z aktualnega izziva na blogu "Card Positioning Systems #262" - njihove skice so res čudovite, morate jih preizkusiti. Sama imam celo njihovo knjigo, ki jo večkrat vzamem v roke. Upam, da bo kdaj priložnost, da si priskrbim še manjkajoči dve. Tole pa je moja druga današnja voščilnica:

As I promised, another card for today. :) Lately I am drawn by a fabric in my crafting projects and so I used it also on my latest creation. The color inspiration comes from this week's "The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC128". I was also drawn by a spotted tie on the picture and by gorgeous big colorful flowers. The sketch is from the current challenge over at "Card Positioning Systems #262". I love their sketches, they are realy functional, you have to try them. I even have their book with sketches, that I often use as a help with my projects. Hope to be able to get the other two books with CPS sketches soon. And this is my second card for today:

Za osnovo sem uporabila roza blago z velikimi belimi pikami iz kolekcije "Tilda". Nanj sem pritrdila oranžen pravokotnik in povrhu še pravokotnih vzorčastega papirja iz kolekcije "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic". Všeč mi je njegov "shiny" izgled. Po robovih sem ga zluknjala. Na levi strani sem dodala pas iz belega filca in oranžnega pikastega papirja, ki sem ga okrasila z oranžnimi perlicami. Kot osrednji element sem izbrala rožico iz lepenke, ki sem jo pobarvala z akrilnimi barvami in dodala "Raspberry Ultra Fine Flower Soft". Povrhu sem pritrdila velik gumb v kombinaciji roza in oranžne barve "Blumenthal Lansing Company - Button Conversations", v center rožice pa razcepek, za katerega ne vem točno od kje prihaja. :) Verz je freebie digitalna štampiljka, za katero se tudi ne spominjam izvora.

I used "Tilda's" pink fabric with white spots as a base of the card. I attached orange square and on top of it the patterned square from "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic". I love its shiny look. :) I pierced it along the edges. On the left I added a banner from white felt and patterned paper with spots (again) from the same collection. I embellished it with orange pearls. As a main motif I added an orange flower from chipboard that I colored with acril colors and "Raspberry Ultra Fine Flower Soft". On top of it I added a huge orange and pink button from "Blumenthal Lansing Company - Button Conversations" and on top of it a brad from... well actualy I don't know exactly where the brad is from. :) The sentiment is a freebie digital stamp also from an unknown source.

Naj se vam še enkrat vsem zahvalim za komentarje, ki jih puščate ob mojih objavah. Vedno sem jih zelo vesela in mi dajejo posebno veselje in energijo, ki jo je težko opisati. Lepo se imejte in uspešen ter blagoslovljen jutrišnji dan vam želim.

I would like to thank you all again for your lovely and sweet comments that you are leaving by my creations. I always enjoy reading them and they are giving me special joy and motivation for my work, which is hard to describe. Enjoy the rest of the day and I wish you successful and blessed day tomorrow.

Thank You for being an Angel

Obožujem CAS dizajn... vendar le, kadar se ga lotijo drugi. :) Sama ga težko osvojim. Vedno se mi zdi, da še nekaj manjka. Zato sem se tokrat morala prav potruditi, da sem voščilnico čim manj "okrasila", saj sem jo želela prijaviti na izziv na blogu "Less is More Week #64: How Charming". Izziv je bil uporabiti kovinske dodatke na voščilnici. Tole je moja voščilnica (upam, da je dovolj CAS za tale izziv):

I love CAS design. I realy do! :) But only when others are doing it! :) Somehow I have hard times creating something CAS that I like. So it was an additional challenge for me this time not to add to many embellishments, since I wanted to enter my card into the challenge over at "Less is More Week #64: How Charming". The challenge was to use charms on your creation and I loved the inspiration. This is my card (I hope it is enough CAS):

Za osnovo sem izbrala papir z vzorcem "K&Company - Terri Conrad Designs: Lovely" in nanj natisnila verz v črni barvi (verz je bil freebie digitalna štampiljka, vendar se ne spomnim od kje). Nato sem izrezala bel kvadrat, ga embosirala in olepšala z okrašenim spodnjim robom, ki sem ga naredila s pomočjo robnega luknjača "EK success". Bel papir sem s 3D blazinicami pritrdila na osnovo, nanj pa pritrdila srček z istim motivom kot dizajnerski papir, dodala pa sem mu dve angelski krilci.

I choose patterned paper from "K&Company - Terri Conrad Designs: Lovely" for the base of the card. On it I printed a sentiment which was freebie digital stamp (unfortunatelly I don't remember where have I downloaded it from). I than cut out the white square which I embossed and cut out the bottom edge with edge punch from "EK success". I attached it on the base of the card with 3D foam tapes. On top of it I attached a heart with same motif as the patterned paper and added two angel wings (charms).

Upam, da vam je všeč. Sledi pa še ena objava voščilnice, ki sem jo izdelala včeraj. Lepo se imejte!

Hope you like it! I will be back with another post of the card that I made yesterday. Enjoy the evening!
