Heart of Flowers

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I took inspiration from the latest Altenew Challenge with my colour combinations for this card and I made another love/wedding card using Altenew Adore You stamps. I drew the heart shape first and then arranged the flowers. Parts that are not "shaped" with flowers I drew later on using Stickles. With some splatters and Perfect Pearls Mist I finished this card off.

Barvna paleta današnje voščilnice je iz zadnjega Altenew izziva, naredila pa sem novo ljubezensko/poročno voščilnico z Adore You štampiljkami od Altenew. Najprej sem narisala obliko srca in po njej razporedila cvetove z listki, del, ki je ostal nepokrit, pa sem obrisala s Stickles bleščicami. Celotno voščilnico sem še malo poškropila z barvami in Perfect Pearls Mist in dodala voščilo. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Altenew Wedding card

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I got inspired by Altenew challenge for the month of January and all the Valentine's cards that are flying around crafting world so I made this Wedding card using Distress Ink on watercolour paper (ink pad pressed on a craft mat and sprayed with water) in three colours - yellow/orange, pink and green. I stamped Altenew Adore You stamps and fussy cut them out and then arranged them in a heart shape. I also stamped the card base with Simon Says Stamp Flora Background in Versa Mark and brushed Perfect Pearls over it.

Navdih za današnjo voščilnico je prišel iz Altenew izziva za mesec januar in vseh valentinovih čestitk, ki jih lahko vidiš v ustvarjalnem svetu. Poročno voščilnico sem naredila s pomočjo Distress blazinic in akvarelnega papirja (blazinico sem pritisnila na podlago in jo pošpricala z vodo) v treh barvah - rumeno/oranžni, roza in zeleni. Nanje sem odtisnila Altenew Adore You štampiljke in jih izrezala. Cvetove in liste sem uredila v obliko srca, na osnovo pa sem odtisnila Simon Says Stamp Flora Background štampiljko z Vesa Mark blazinico in čez nanesla Perfect Pearls prah. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

Work Time Wednesday - Using up Forgotten Supplies

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I was cleaning up my craft space and realized that I have a bunch of flowers already coloured and cut, but I haven't used them jet. I did use some of them today.

Medtem, ko sem pospravljala ustvarjalni kotiček, sem našla en kup pobarvanih in izrezanih cvetov, ki jih še nisem uporabila, tako da sem jih danes. 

Flowers are from Hero Arts gold embossed and coloured with Inktense pencils, I used My Favourite Things stamps for the background and Altenew set for the leaves. Sentiment is from Najlepši par.

Cvetovi so zlato embosirani  Hero Arts odtisi pobarvani z Inktense barvicami, za ozadje sem uporabila My Favourite Things štampiljke, za liste pa Altenew set. Voščilo je od Najlepšega para.

Sometimes it's good to do some clean-up :)  Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Včasih se tudi pospravljanje splača :) Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan! 

Voščilnico dodajam v januarsko galerijo Najlepšega para.

Cluster of Flowers

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I got some goodies in the mail yesterday and I couldn't resist using them. I used Hero Arts inks with Altenew stamp set and gold embossed a Hero Arts background stamp.

Včeraj sem dobila nekaj novih dobrot in nikakor se nisem mogla upret, da ne jih ne bi uporabila. Uporabila sem Altenew set štampiljk s Hero Arts blazinicami in z zlato embosirala Hero Arts štampiljko za ozadje. 

There is a new challenge over at A Blog Named Hero Calling all Critters and you have until end of the month to get inspired by our amazing Design Team.

Finally - my Birthday Haul

Hello everyone! 

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I already said I'm waiting for a package from Simon Says Stamp and it came today :D I can't wait to try these beauties. There was a discount code for Simon Says products and I added the Altenew set because it was on a sale. So beautiful.

Omenila sem že, da pričakujem paket od Simon Says Stamp in prišel je ravno danes :D Komaj čakam, da se lotim ustvarjanja. Imela sem kodo za popust na Simon Says Stamp izdelke, Altenew set pa sem dodala, ker je bil precej znižan in čudovit, kot vse ostale stvari. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day! 

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan! 

 

It's the wedding season

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Wedding season is here and that means we need some congratulation cards. I love to play with floral stamps and use Hero Arts inks for that. This Altenew layering stamp set is perfect for some Hero Arts colours. 

Ponovno je tukaj sezona porok, kar pomeni, da bomo potrebovali kakšno voščilnico za takšno priložnost. Zelo rada se igram s štampiljkami v rožastih motivih in jih uporabim s Hero Arts blazinicami. Ta Altenew set z različnimi plastmi je perfekten v Hero Arts barvah. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan! 

His and Hers

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have a His and a Hers card today for you. Hers is made with Altenew flower stamps and His is made using some pattern paper and a few vintage masculine stamps over that. Hero Arts ink is perfect for both designs.

Danes imam za vas voščilnico zanjo in zanj. Zanjo sem uporabila Altenew štampiljke z motivom rož, zanj pa sem preko vzorčastega papirja odtisnila še nekaj vintage štampiljk. Hero Arts blazinice so perfektne za obe varianti. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan! 

Friday Fun in Flowers

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I had days of this week completely messed up because we had holiday on Monday so there was no Work Time Wednesday this week. I apologise. But today I have one of my all time favourite stamp sets on my card again. Altenew's Painted Flowers that I combined with Wplus9 Pretty Peonies for some extra foliage.

Tale prosti ponedeljek mi je povsem zmešal dneve tega tedna in posledično ni bilo objave za Work Time Wednesday. Se opravičujem. Sem pa zato danes na plano ponovno privlekla enega izmed mojih najljubših setov štampiljk Painted Flowers od Altenew, pri Pretty Peonies od Wplus9 pa sem si izposodila še par zelenih delov. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great weekend.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super konec tedna.

A Pop Of Color

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today I have a card coordinating with A Blog Named Hero challenge for the month of August that is Pop of Color. I used Altenew stamps and Soft Brown as my neutral colour and added the pop by  using Raspberry Jam and one of peony layers. 

Danes imam za vas voščilnico v skladu s temo izziva meseca avgusta na A Blog Named Hero - Pop of Color. Uporabila sem Altenew set štampiljk in Soft Brown blazinico za nevtralno barvo, ki sem ji dodala Raspberry Jam barvo s pomočjo ene izmed plasti, ki je namenjena senčenju cvetov.

I hope you join the talented ladies over at A Blog Named Hero. You can win a gift certificate for amazing Simon Says Stamp store.

Upam, da se pridružite nadarjenim ustvarjalkam na A Blog Named Hero. Morda vam celo uspe pridobiti darilni bon za spletno trgovino Simon Says Stamp.

Have a great day!

Želim vam super dan!

Work Time Wednesday Painted Butterflies

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I made three cards with Altenew Painted Butterflies today and I made them all one layer. I set up a challenge for myself and I love this set of stamps. Such a beautiful look.

Naredila sem tri voščilnice, pri katerih sem uporabila Altenew Painted Butterflies set štampiljk in jih naredila v eni sami ravnini. Običajno imam s tem težave in sem si tako postavila dvojni izziv. Resnično je ta set metuljev naravnost čudovit.

First I combined butterflies with Wplus9 Ranunculus stamp set.

Najprej sem metulje dodala cvetličnemu aranžmaju Wplus9, ki sem ga uporabila prejšnji teden.

Second one is combined with Peony Bouquet and Perfect pearls.

Pri drugi voščilnici sem za cvetlični del uporabila potonike, metuljem pa sem dodala nekaj Perfect Pearls. 

And last but not least I made a CAS card using only sentiment and butterflies (with some Sparkling Clear sequins).

In zadnji primer je CAS voščilnica z metulji in voščilom, ki sem jim dodala le nekaj Sparkling Clear bleščic. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

Friday Fun with Distressed Peony Bouquet

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I just couldn't resist getting this two stamp sets together. Distressed Patterns from MFT and Peony Bouquet from Altenew. Amazing combination. Can't wait to experiment some more :)

Nisem se mogla upreti kombinaciji setov Distressed Patterns od MFT in Peony Bouquet od Altenew. Res odlična kombinacija. Bo potrebno še malo eksperimentirati v tej smeri :) 

Have a great weekend!

Želim vam en super vikend!

Firday Fun finishing the cards

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I promised three finished cards on Wednesday and here they are.

V sredo sem obljubila dokončane voščilnice in to je to.

First one is a Thank you card. I combined craft and green. I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins and Wink of Stella on the frame and sentiment. 

Na prvi voščilnici sem združila kraft in zeleno barvo. Dodala sem še različno velike bleščice Pretty Pink Posh in nekaj Wink of Stella bleščic na okvirju in izrezku hvala. 

I stamped a full peony in purple for my second one along with a few leaves and cut them all out. With an added circle die and some embossed cardstock I stamped half on my sentiment in black (Best) and die cut the other one (wishes) from black cardstock. I had to add some Stickles glitter in different shades. 

Za drugo voščilnico sem odtisnila in izrezala cvet in par listov. S pomočjo šablon sem izrezala še krog in suho embosirala par trakov kartona. Del voščila sem odtisnila s črno blazinico, drugi del pa sem iz črnega kartona izrezala. Nisem se mogla upreti in sem na različne dele dodala različne odtenke Stickles bleščic. 

I kept it simple for the darkest background. I die cut two butterflies and the Congratulations sentiment from silver glitter paper and added a silver strip on the left side and a decorative piece of white cardstock on the right side. This could easily be a wedding card with that colour scheme. 

Za najtemnejše ozadje nisem želela pretiravati. Iz srebrnega bleščečega papirja sem izrezala voščilo in dva metulja ter dodala še ozek trak na levi strani. Da sem malo razbila pestro ozadje, sem na desni strani nalepila dekorativno izrezan kos belega kartona. Morda bi to lahko bila poročna voščilnica za poroko v takšni barvni shemi. 

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

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super konec tedna.

Work Time Wednesday Peony Bouquet

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have started working with my Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set last Friday, but today I stamped and experimented doing some backgrounds in different colours.

Že prejšnji petek sem eksperimentirala z novim setom Altenew Peony Bouquet, danes pa sem naredila tri različna ozadja.

I used the outline and layer for the darkest shade in all three backgrounds. I used Soft Sand, Soft Purple and Raspberry Jam Hero Arts ink. I think they turned out beautiful and make a great base for lots of different cards.

Uporabila sem štampiljko za obrobo in štampiljko namenjeno najtemnejšemu odtenku. Pri vseh treh sem odtisnila ti dve plasti, uporabila pa sem tri barve: Soft Sand, Soft Purple in Raspberry Jam Hero Arts blazinice. V vseh primerih nastane čudovito ozadje, ki pa je osnova za precej različne voščilnice. Vrnite se v petek, ko boste lahko videli, kaj sem naredila s temi osnovami. 

Come back on Friday to see what I did with them :)

Vrnite se v petek, ko boste lahko videli, kaj sem naredila s temi osnovami.

Friday Fun with Peony Bouquet

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I couldn't resist this stamp set from Altenew. It is gorgeous and it's amazing how these flower come to life with every added layer. I just know that this will be one of my go to stamp sets :) 

Enostavno se temu setu štampiljk ni bilo mogoče upirati. Cvetovi dobesedno oživijo z vsakim dodanim odtisom. Prepričana sem, da bo to eden izmed tistih setov, h kateremu se bom vračala vedno znova :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a wonderful weekend!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit konec tedna.

Sweet Valentines #2

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today I have a softer, sweeter love card for you. I stamped this amazing Altenew stamps with Soft Sand Hero Arts ink and then used a red pencil to shade it a little bit. I also added a few die cut hearts in pink and stencilled hearts in red.  

Danes sem ustvarila svetlejšo, nežnejšo voščilnico.  S Soft Sand Hero Arts blazinico sem odtisnila te čudovite Altenew štampiljke in potem z navadno rdečo barvico dodala nekaj senčenja. Na koncu sem dodala še nekaj roza izrezanih srčkov ter par rdečih srčkov senčenih preko šablone. 

I love this kind of "colouring" for this stamp set. It looks like a print. Thank you for coming over and have a great day. 

To je eden izmed mojih najljubših načinov "barvanja" tega seta štampiljk. Končni izdelek zgleda kot print. Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Work Time Wednesday # 37

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I had to use my experimental piece from this post and I made a Thank you card. I will send it to a very special friend tomorrow.

Morala sem nekako uporabiti moj eksperimentalni kos, ki sem ga objavila tukaj in tako je nastala ena simpatična zahvalna voščilnica. Jutri jo bom poslala zelo posebni prijateljici.

Have a wonderful day!

Želim vam čudovit dan!

Work Time Wednesday # 36

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I couldn't resist making another card using Distress inks and this Altenew stamp set. I tried the new colour that I got Abandoned coral and it's beautiful. Together with Festive berries and Cracked pistachio with Mowed Lawn... perfection. Such a classy and elegant combination :) 

Nisem se mogla upreti še eni voščilnici z Distress blazinicami in Altenew štampiljkami. Uporabila sem novo barvo Abandoned coral (čudovita je) v kombinaciji s Festive berries in za liste Cracked pistachio z Mowed lawn. Zelo elegantna kombinacija :)

Try It Out Thursday # 3

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Long time no Try It Out Thursday :) There was a dilemma that begun on my Friday Fun post # 30 about stamping those Altenew stamps in Distress ink. As you probably know Distress ink is not really made for stamping (unless you want a splotchy look). Maja commented about not having enough shades of ink to stamp layering kind of stamps. So today I experimented with that in mind. 

Že dolgo ni bilo nobene Try It Out Thursday objave :) Na moj objavi Friday Fun številka 30 se je pojavila ena zanimiva dilema. Ali je mogoče te Altenew štampiljke odtisniti z Distress blazinicami. Verjetno vam je znano, da Distress blazinice niso ravno idealne za odtise, če ni vaš cilj neenakomeren in pikast odtis. Maja je pustila komentar, da nima dovolj različnih odtenkov blazinic, da bi lahko ustvarjala s temi štampiljkami, tako da sem se odločila preizkusiti ta dva izdelka skupaj. 

I used Spiced marmalade as my base colour, Ripe persimmon for my shades, Memento Tuxedo black for the outline and Twisted citron for the leaves (super nice green colour btw). They all worked perfectly! No splotchines, no spotting, just a great stamped image. It's probably because of the quality of Altenew stamps but this is great news even for me. I have quite a few beautiful Distress inks that need some love :)  

Uporabila sem Spiced marmelade za osnovno barvo, senčila sem z Ripe persimmon, obroba je bila odtisnjena z Memento Tuxedo black blazinico, listi pa so odtisnjeni s Twisted citron (mimogrede, čudovita zelena barva). Vsi poskusi so za seboj pustili perfekten odtis. Nobenih lis, pik, samo popoln odtis. Najverjetneje je za to kriva izjemna kakovost Altenew blazinic. To je pravzaprav odlična novica tudi zame. Imam kar nekaj čudovitih Distress blazinic, ki potrebujejo nekaj dodatne ljubezni :)

I hope you found this helpful and thank you for coming over!

Upam, da je moje "odkritje" dobra novica tudi za vas in hvala lepa za obisk!

Friday Fun # 30

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I started with free card class on Altenew Academy and I love it :) It goes into detail of lining up the stamps like they are supposed to be and I made a card with my Painted Flowers stamp set that I love. Some flowers are stamped directly on my card base and a few of them are up on foam tape.

Danes sem začela spremljati brezplačno delavnico na Altenew Academy. Posamezni deli so vezani na različne sete štampiljk in navodila kako točno jih pravilno poravnati. Naredila sem voščilnico s tem setom in nekaj cvetov odtisnila direktno na osnovo, nekaj pa je izrezanih in dodanih s pomočjo penastega lepila.

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

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super konec tedna.
