"Violettes for Birthday" Book card

Lep pozdravček vsem! :) Kot sem obljubila se vračam z drugo objavo za tokratni "JustRite Friday Challenge #080 - More than one fold". Prvo sem objavila mojo Accordion voščilnico, ki sem si jo že nekaj časa želela preizkusiti pa nikoli nisem našla časa in priložnosti. Danes pa bi vam rada pokazala voščilnico knjigo. Rada in pogosto izdelujem to vrsto voščilnic, saj so idealne za drobna darilca ali za denarna darilca. Danes sem izdelala Rojstnodnevno voščilnico knjigo:

Hello blogers. :) As promised I am back with the second card for this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #080 - More than one fold". First up was my accordion card that I wished to make for a long time but never found time or opportunity for it. Today I want to show you my Book card. I love Book cards. I am making them often, they are ideal for small presents or for money presents. Today I made a Birthday Book card:

Uporabila sem štampiljke "JustRite Cling - Violette Vintage Labels" in "JustRite Original - Plant a little Love Borders & Centers". Papirji so "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden" in "Hot off the Press inc. Paper Pizazz Sheets - Mixing Soft Patterned Papers", uporabila pa sem tudi bel svilen papir s pobleščičenimi rožicami za platnice. Odtisi so pobarvani z akvarelnimi barvicami in vodnim čopičem. Rožica je iz kolekcije "Prima Vintage Flowers".

I've used stamps from "JustRite Cling - Violette Vintage Labels" and "JustRite Original - Plant a little Love Borders & Centers". Papers are "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden" and "Hot off the Press inc. Paper Pizazz Sheets - Mixing Soft Patterned Papers". I've also used some silk paper with silver flowers for the bookcovers. Stamped images are colored with aquarell pencils and waterbrush. The big flower is from the "Prima Vintage Flowers" collection.

Tole pa je fotografija, ki sem jo uporabila za barvno inspiracijo. Sem pa dodala nekaj zelene.

And this is the my color inspiration photo. I did add some green though.

Upam, da vam je všeč. Vau... moj prvi JustRite izziv s kar dvema objavama. :) Vesela bom vaših komentarjev. Uživajte v dnevu!

Hope you like it... wooow... my first JustRite challenge with two entries. :) I am looking forward to your comments. They really do make me happy! :) Enjoy the day!

Purple Birthday Roses

Dolgo se že nisem pridružila izzivu na blogu "The Play Date Cafe", zato sem resnično želela izkoristiti tokratno priložnost. Ko sem videla barvno kombinacijo tokratnega "The Play Date Cafe PDCC#147", sem sicer malo podvomila, da bom ustvarila kaj objavi primernega. Kljub temu sem se lotila dela in moram priznati, da me je rezultat pozitivno presenetil. Izbrane barve so naravnost super in vsekakor jih bom še kdaj poizkusila. Tokrat sem izdelala kolekcijo voščilnice in uhančkov, ki je že dolgo nisem, le da je bil tokrat vrstni red obraten - navadno nastane najprej voščilnica, tokrat pa so nastali najprej uhančki in nato jim je sledila še voščilnica. Upam, da vam bo moj izdelek všeč. :)

It has been a while since I last entered my card into "The Play Date Cafe Challenge" so I really felt it was the time to do it. When I saw the color combination of this week's "The Play Date Cafe PDCC147" I doubted that I will be able to create something worth posting. When I got to work I was pleasently surprised. The selected color combination is gorgeous! I will be definately using it again some time in the future. This time I've made a collection of a card and an earings, which I haven't now for a while, but this time I changed the order - usually I create first the card, but now I first created the earings and then the card followed. Hope you'll like my project. :)

Uporabila sem štampiljko "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four" in papirje "Bo Bunny". Vesela bom vaših komentarjev. Vrnem pa se danes še z eno objavo. Lep večer želim vsem!

I've used "JustRite - Shabby Chic Labels Four" stamps and some leftovers from "Bo Bunny" papers. I hope you like it. I will be more than happy to read your comments. I'll be back today with another post. Until then I wish you a nice evening!

Accordion card "Something is in the air"

Za tokratni "JustRite Friday Challenge "080" je bil izziv ustvariti voščilnico z več kot enim prepogibom. Navadno ne maram ustvarjati voščilnic z več prepogibi, z izjemo dveh. Danes želim pokazati accordion voščilnico, ki sem jo izdelala. Navodila za izdelavo sem na spletni strani splitcoaststampers zasledila že dolgo nazaj in jih imela shranjene za pravo priložnost, ki pa je prišla šele sedaj. :) Tako je to moja prva accordion voščilnica, a gotovo ne zadnja, saj sem z njo kar zadovoljna. Zadnja stran je žepek v katerega lahko pospravimo denarno darilce, saj je poročna voščilnica. Izdelala pa sem tudi škatlico, v katero se voščilnica pospravi.

For this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #080" we were to create a card with more than one fold. Generally I don't like making cards with too many folds. With the exception of two. Today I want to show you an accordion card that I made. I saw a tutorial allready a while back on the splitcoaststampers and had it saved for the occasion, but only now had the time and motivation to do it. So this is my first accordion card and I have to say I am quite satisfied with it. The last page of it has a small pocket (behind the butterfly) in which you can put money gift, since it is a wedding card. I also made a matching box to give a card away.

Za izdelavo sem uporabila papirje "Graphic 45 - Baby 2 Bride Collection", štampiljke "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" in šablone "Spellbinders Eyelet Squares". Pesmica je od "Toneta Pavčka - Nekaj je v zraku".

I used papers from "Graphic 45 - Baby 2 Bride Collection", stamps "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" and "Spellbinders Eyelet Squares". The song of which verses I used is from a famous Slovenian poet "Tone Pavček - Nekaj je v zraku", who died not long ago. The verses that I used go something like this: "Something is in the air - something beautiful, something soft, something passing by. Something is in the air. /.../ Something is in the air. Like a scent of flowers. Like a light of fireflies, iluminating in the dark. /.../ It is the love. Her breath and sigh." I hope I translated it OK. It is not easy... :) (blush)

Mislim, da sem za danes zaključila z objavami. Upam, da bo uspela pripraviti še drugo od voščilnic z več zgibi, ki so mi pri srcu. :) Lepo se imejte!

I think this is it with posts for today. Hopefully I will manage to make and post the second of cards with multifolds that I like. :) Have fun and enjoy the day!

Latice Birthday

Po včerajšnji voščilnici s kvadratki, ki je izzvenela precej moško, sem seveda morala izdelati še različico za nežnejši spol. Tokrat sem uporabila barve tokratnega "Colorthrowdown #207", postavitev pa je ostala enaka.

After yesterday post of a man's birthday card with squares I had to challenge myself and make another one for the ladies. :) This time I used the colors from this week's "Colorthrowdown #207", and the sketch remains the same.

Vse ostale podrobnosti o izdelavi se nahajajo v prejšnji objavi, zato je ne pozabite preleteti! :) Uživajte v dnevu, čeprav je deževen. :)

Everything else can be found in my previous post, so be shure to scroll down! :) Have a nice day, although it's rainy!

Birthday Squares

Trenutno imam za dokončati naročilo nekaj voščilnic za 50. rojstni dan in nekaj za poroko. Še posebej pri takih naročilih, je inspiracija vedno dobrodošla. Tokrat sem skušala ustvariti moško voščilnico. Te so še posebej zahtevne. Včasih me kakšne ustvarjalke oziroma njihove stvaritve neverjetno navdahnejo. Tako sem po inspiraciji nadarjene Pamele in njene objave na blogu "Miao - a design blog" ustvarila tudi ozadje za tole voščilnico. Barvna inspiracija je s tokratnega "ColourQ Challengea #152", postavitev pa s tokratnih "Retrosketches #26".

I am finishing an order of a few cards for a 50th birthday and a few ones for the wedding day. Specially with such orders any inspiration is more than welcome. This time I tried to finish a male birthday card, which are not easy to make at all. Somethimes some of the crafters and their work inspire me amazingly. So when I visited Pamela's blog over at "Miao - a design blog" and saw her amazingly stunning creation I was inspired to create this beautiful background for my card. The color inspiration comes from this week's "ColourQ Challenge #152" and the sketch from this week's "Retrosketches #26".

Polepila sem robove in vmesne linije in kvadratke pobarvala z distress črnili. Odtsranila sem trak, prerezala po dolžini na dva dela, vsakega posebej pritrdila na kraft karton in nato s tanko vmesno linijo na osnovo voščilnice. Izrezala sem poseben oval s "Spellbinders Labels Eighteen", vendar ne do roba, tako da sem dobila "mini voščilnico". Slednji sem robove osenčila z distress črnilom in jih zluknjala. Na zunanjost sem dodala številko 50, ki sem jo prekrila z washi trakom. V notranjost pa "Happy Birthday". Za zalepit mini voščilnico sem dodala trak na ježka, na zunanjosti pa gumbek in okrasni trak z drobnimi ptički, ki sem ga dodala tudi v notranjost voščilnice.

I taped the edges and the lines between the squares and then colored them with distress inks. I removed the tape, cut the cardstock in two pieces, adhered them to kraft cardstock and then both of them, with a small line between them on the base of the card. I cut out the specialy shaped oval with "Spellbinders Labels Eighteen", but didn't cut it right to the edge, so that I got another "small card". I distressed and pierced the edges. On the front I made a number 50 which I covered with washi tape and in the inside circle with a sentiment "Happy Birthday". I added a special velcro adhesive and a button on the front. I also added some ribbon with little birdies to open the "mini card", which I repeated in the inside of the card.

Uživajte v vikendu!

Enjoy the wekeend!

Gift Collection Eau De Cologne De France - Roses

En lep pozdravček vsem po nekoliko daljšem času. :) Pri nas sije sonček, otroci prekipevajo od energije in kmalu se začenja novo leto v vrtcu, tokrat tudi za mlajšo hčerko. Obetajo se nam kar pestri dnevi in izkoriščanje zadnjih dopustniških dni. Kljub temu pa skušam najti čas za svoje delovne obveznosti, sem in tja pa se prikrade tudi kakšna prosta urica za ustvarjanje "kar tako". V eni od takih sem ustvarila tudi tale darilni kompletek s parfumčkom in voščilnico, inspiracija pa je bil tokratni "JustRite Friday Challenge #079: Opposites Attract" in "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #47". Za nasprotni barvi v barvnem kolesu sem uporabila roza in zeleno, dodala pa sem še rumeno-oranžno, ki je v barvnem krogu v tretjem kraku izbranega barvnega trikotnika. Rada ustvarjam za JustRite izzive, velikokrat iz njihove inspiracije nastanejo nove ideje, zadnje čase pa mi navadno zmanjka časa, da bi svoje izdelke tudi objavila. Zato sem si tokrat obljubila, da temu ne bo tako. Spodaj je tako moj izdelek, ki je nastal na podlagi tokratne inspiracije:

One beautiful hello to all of you after a little bit longer time. :) We have a lot of sunshine, my kids are bursting with energy and soon we are starting a new year in our kindergarten. This year our youngest little princess will be joining in the fun too. So... we have some interesting days ahead and some of last minute summer fun to do. Still I am trying to squeeze in some time for crafting to do fullfil my obligations and also some crafting moments "just for fun". And so I managed to create this gift assemble with a card and a perfume, for which the inspiration was this week's "JustRite Friday Challenge #079: Opposites Attract" and the "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #47". For the opposite colors in the color wheel I used hot pink and green and I also added some yellow-orange which is in the third corner of a color triangle in the color wheel. I love to create for JustRite challenges, they are my big inspiration but unfortunately lately I ran out of time to publish my creations. So I have a few still stuck in my drawer, maybe they will get their second chance. ;) But this time I promised to myself not to ran out of time, so here is my "piece of art" for this week's challenge:

Tale post je poln fotografija... :) Papirji so "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "Bo Bunny" in "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden". Štampiljke so "JustRite Cling - Shabby Chic Labels Four". Rožice so od "Prime". Uporabila pa sem še nekaj čipkastega traku, nekaj perl in nekaj biserčkov, da sem malo popestrila izdelek. Šivi so ročno šivani... žal še vedno nimam svojega šivalnega stroja. :(

Picture heavy post this time... :) Papers are from "First Edition Papers - Boho Chic", "Bo Bunny" and "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden". Stamps are "JustRite Cling - Shabby Chic Labels Four". Flowers are from "Prima". I used some lace and some perls and gemstones to add some bling. And those stitches are handstitched... I unfortunately still don't own a sewing machine. :(

Mislim, da je to to za danes. Se vidimo do naslednjič, do takrat pa čudovite zadnje avgustovske dni in obilo božjega blagoslova.

I think this is it for today. See you next time, till then I wish you gorgeous last days of summer august and a lot of blessings.

Beautiful Birthday with Butterfly Duo

Dobro jutro vsem z eno kratko objavico za danes. Preden družinica vstane bi rada delila voščilnici, ki sem ju izdelala za tokratni izziv na blogu "Embellishmagazine: Dry embossing color trends challenge", za inspiracijo pa mi je bila tudi skica na tokratnem izzivu na blogu "Hero Arts: Clean and Simple stamping and a sketch challenge". Tole pa je moj izdelek:

Good morning to all with a short post for today. Before the kids are up I wanted to share a card I made for this week's challenge over at "Embellishmagazine: Dry embossing color trends Challenge", for the inspiration I used also a sketch on this month's "Hero Arts: Clean and Simple stamping and a sketch challenge". And this are my cards:

Ozadje sem posprejala z mini misterjem in distress inki. Izrezala sem vrhnjo plast belega kartona, jo embosirala z embosirno srajčko z motivom lesa, jo razrezala v dva neenakomerna dela in pritrdila s 3D blazinicami na ozadje. Odtisnila sem metulja s štampiljko "Hero Arts" in ga pobarvala z akvarelnimi svinčniki in waterbrushem. Dodala sem nekaj perl in bleščice na trup metulja ter ga pritrdila po sredini s krilci navzgor. Dodala sem verz, ki je brezplačna digitalna štampiljka - ne spomnim se žal od kje.

I sprayed a background with my mini mister and distress inks. I cut out a layer of white cardstock, embossed it with a woodgraing embossing plate, cut it into two parts and ahered it to a background layer with 3D foam tapes. I stamped the butterfly from "Hero Arts" and colored it with aquarel pencils and waterbrush. I added some perls and some glitter onto the body of a butterfly. I added a sentiment, which is a freebie digital stamp - I don't recall from where did I get it.

Naj bo vaš dan uspešen kot se le da. Uživajte v dnevu!

May your day be blessed abundantly! Have fun!

Birthday Lilies and Butterflies Duo

Zadnje čase rada izdelujem kolekcije voščilnic. Tako sta nastali tudi zadnji dve, ki sem ju izdelala za tokratni "Flourishes - Bring Back Beautiful Challenge BBB24: The Beauty of Winged Things".

Lately I love to design collections of cards. And so also asembled the last two cards, that I made for this month's "Flourishes - Bring Back Beautiful Challenge BBB24: The Beauty of Winged Things".

Lilije so digitalna slikica, ki sem jo nekoliko preoblikovala in pobarvala z akvarelnimi svinčniki in waterbrushem. Sredino cvetov sem olepšala s Flower Softom. Napis je brezplačen digi od "Crafts Meow". Metuljčki so "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" in "JustRite - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty". Dodala sem jim drobne kristalčke. Izdelala pa sem tudi notranjost voščilnice.

Lilies are digital image that I photoshoped a bit and colored it with aquarell pencils and waterbursh. In the centers of the flowers I added some Flower Soft. The sentiment is free digi stamp from "Crafts Meow". The butterflies are from "JustRite - Botanical Butterflies" and "JustRite - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty". I added some tiny gemstones. I also made the inside of the card.

Za konec pa še ena novost... ker je pri nas malo trgovinic z ustvarjalnim materialom, sem se zelo razveselila velikega koraka moje izjemno nadarjene soustvarjalke Marine, ki je odprla svojo spletno trgovinico z ustvarjalnim materialom. Najdete jo na spletnem naslovu www.mavelu.com. Ima kar nekaj čudovitih izdelkov na zalogi.

And I wanted to share a news that I was so happy to hear... one of my very talented blogging friends Marina opened her online store with crafting goodies, that you can find on www.mavelu.com. She has some gorgeous goddies in store for you.

Uživajte do naslednjič.

Have fun till next time.

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. :)
