Friday Fun with not so happy cards...

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today I have different king of cards for you. The not so happy kind. But we need those from time to time and I like to keep it simple when it comes to sympathy cards. These are half of my usual card size which is 1/8 of an A4 size cardstock.

Danes imam za vas malo drugačne voščilnice. Tiste, ki niso tako zelo vesele. Ampak tudi takšne potrebujemo vsake toliko časa in pri sožalnicah najraje ne kompliciram. Današnje so nastale iz četrtine A4 kartona, tako da je končna velikost polovica običajne voščilnice. 

Thank you for coming over and have a wonderful end of the week.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit konec tedna.

Work Time Wednesday

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I'm doing Work Time Wednesday on steroid this year. I want to focus on one supply (stamp set, die, stencil...) and do multiple cards with it. Changing it up every Wednesday. We are going o see how well I manage to do that ;) 

Letos imam v mislih Work Time Wednesday na steroidih. Rada bi se osredotočila na en pripomoček (set štampiljk, rezalno šablono, plastično šablono...) in vam predstaviti par različnih voščilnic. Seveda vsako sredo drug pripomoček. Bomo videli kako uspešna bom pri izpolnjevanju tega načrta :)

Today I have other part of my card set that I made the same way than the card from yesterday. Four more colour combinations. I tried to do complementary colours for balance. 

Danes imam za vas set voščilnic, ki sem jih naredila enako, kot včerajšnjo voščilnico. Štiri nove barvne kombinacije. Za uravnoteženost sem uporabljala nasprotne ali komplementarne barve. 

I hope you enjoyed and thank you for coming over!

Upam, da ste uživali in hvala lepa za obisk.

Zadnjo voščilnico prijavljam v januarsko galerijo Najlepšega para. 

Happy Birthday with A Blog Named Hero Facebook team

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Now and then I take time to do some colouring in advance and I do that by stamping my images and take them with me. I did that this weekend when I was out of town and I packed a few of my ink pads, Ranger ink blending tool and my fussy cutting scissors. I stamped these flowers from a Hero Arts Blossom Art stamp set on some scrap cardstock and then coloured them in by blending two or three different shades of ink. 

Vsake toliko časa si vzamem čas za barvanje posameznih elementov vnaprej, tako da si odtisnem razne podobe in jih vzamem seboj. Ta vikend nisem bila doma, tako da sem spakirala nekaj odtisov, nekaj blazinic in pripomočke za senčenje skupaj s škarjami, ki jih uporabljam za izrezovanje odtisov. Na nekaj ostankov kartona sem odtisnila rožice iz Hero Arts seta Blossom Art in jih pobarvala s senčenjem dveh ali treh odtenkov iste barve

Since I spent some time colouring and cutting out the flowers (I did three in the same colour) I didn't want to complicate the design of my card. I used a Hero Arts Tweed Pattern stencil and Butter Bar for the background. Sentiment popped up on foam tape and three flowers glued directly to the card. I had to use my new goodies from Pretty Pink Posh and so I used 4 mm yellow sequins from Springtime Mix and sprinkle them around. 

Glede na to, da sem porabila kar nekaj časa za barvanje in izrezovanje rožic (naredila sem tri v enaki barvi) nisem želela komplicirane voščilnice. Za ozadje sem uporabila Hero Arts Tweed Pattern plastične šablone in čez senčila Butter Bar blazinico. Voščilo sem dvignila s penico, rožice pa sem prilepila direktno na osnovo. Nujno sem morala uporabiti moje nove cukrčke od Pretty Pink Posh in tako sem iz Sptingtime Mix paketka izbrskala nekaj rumenih bleščic in jih razporedila po voščilnici.

I hope you like it. I coloured a few more flowers and I will show you those tomorrow ;)

Upam, da vam je všeč. Pobarvala sem še nekaj  rožic, ki pa vam jih pokažem jutri ;) 

Have a great day!

Želim vam čudovit dan! 

Uporabila sem voščilo Najlepšega para, zato dodajam voščilnico v januarsko galerijo :)

Monday Madness with Pretty Pink Posh

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

What a better way to start New Year here on my blog than with a beautiful haul. I ordered from Pretty Pink Posh at the end of November and it came to Ljubljana in the beginning of January. I guess all the holiday post caused a bit of a delay but nevertheless it was an amazing little package :) Paulina added a little note and the sequins are beautiful. I ordered a few mixes to get a few different options. 

Ni lepšega začetka leta kot čudovit paketek v nabiralniku in ni lepšega začetka leta na blogu kot objava enega cukerčka. V spletni trgovini Pretty Pink Posh sem naročila nekaj kompletkov bleščic konec novembra, pa so na žalost v Ljubljano prispeli šele v začetku novega leta. Kljub temu je paketek res čudovit :) Paulina je dodala še majhno sporočilce, bleščice pa so v živo precej lepše, kot na katerikoli fotografiji. Naročila sem nekaj mešanic, da imam na voljo par variant.

Happy mail :)

I'm back :) / Nazaj sem! :)

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

First of all I have to apologise for my absence. Life happened and I needed some time off. You might have noticed that my term with A Blog Named Hero ended at the end of 2015 and they have a new design team. They also changed the challenges up a bit for this year. Since this was my first design team that I was on, I will be forever grateful to Lisa and Linda for opportunity they gave me. My collaboration with A Blog Named Hero will not end completely. I joined A Blog Named Hero Facebook team this year. It would me awesome if you popped over sometimes and leave a comment or two ;) 

Najprej se vam moram opravičiti za svojo odsotnost. Življenje se pač zgodi in prisiljena sem bila vzeti malo pavze na blogu. Verjetno ste že ugotovili, da se je konec leta 2015 zaključil moj "mandat" v ustvarjalni ekipi A Blog Named Hero. Imajo novo ekipo, prav tako pa tudi drugačen urnik izzivov in objav. Glede na to, da je bila moja prva ustvarjalna ekipa, katere del sem bila, bom vedno hvaležna Lisi in Lindi za priložnost, ki sta mi jo ponudili. Za enkrat ne zaključujem še sodelovanja z A Blog Named Hero ekipo, saj sem se za letos pridružila A Blog Named Hero Facebook ekipi. Upam, da se nam pridružite in pustite kakšen komentar sem in tja.

I think last year's posting schedule worked quite well for me, but I'm still thinking about keeping the same concept (Monday Madness, Work Time Wednesday and Friday Fun) or changing focus for this posts a little bit. I will be back next week with some "real" posts and cards and by then I will decide about details for my blog in 2016. 

Mislim, da mi je lanskoletni urnik objav kar ustrezal, še vedno pa premišljujem o ohranitvi enakega koncepta (Monday Madness, Work Time Wednesday in Friday Fun) oz. malenkostni spremembi vsebine za te objave. Naslednji teden začnemo za res in lahko pričakujete objave ustvarjalnega značaja, do takrat pa se bom tudi že odločila glede specifike objav za leto 2016. 

As always thank you for coming over and your support in 2015. Have a great day!

Kot vedno najlepša hvala za obisk in podporo v letu 2015. Želim vam čudovit dan! 

Mateja
