Hero Arts and Neat and Tangled haul

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

So... Hi! :) It's been a while... Life happened and I don't have time to vacuume our apartment so I don't really have time to sit down and make a card. But if I do there is no ideas at all... I started a new job on Monday and I have to get ready for those classes and then getting my little girl into day care and being with her as much as I can.... Cards have to wait a bit :) But I have two hauls for you today (that got here a while ago). One from Hero Arts (can't wait to assemble some monsters) and two background dies from Neat and Tangled that look super fun to experiment with :)

Torej... Živjo! :) Pa je minilo že nekaj časa... Življenje se pač odvija precej na hitro in glede na to, da nimam časa niti posesati stanovanja, so voščilnice prav gotovo na dnu seznama. Ko pa imam čas, da se usedem za ustvarjalno mizo, nimam sploh nobenih idej. V ponedeljek sem začela s službo, ki zahteva določene priprave, skrb za varstvo moje male žabice in to, da z njo preživim toliko časa, kot je le mogoče, pa na koncu dneva ne ostane več nič časa. Imam pa za vas danes dva nakupa (ki sta prišla že nekaj časa nazaj). Eden je od Hero Arts (komaj čakam, da se lotim sestavljanja teh malih pošasti) in dve rezalni šabloni za ozadje, ki bosta prav gotovo zelo zabavni, ko se jih končno lotim :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan! 

Make Your Own Glitter Paste

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

There is a lot of glitter pastes going around the crafting world and I was wondering if I can make my own. And I did :)

V svetu ustvarjalcev trenutno kroži en kup bleščečih past in tako sem se spraševala, če jo lahko naredim sama. In sem jo :)

I used plain old white school glue (you can probably use any glue that dries clear and not sticky) and mixed some glitter into it on my craft mat. I used two colours of glitter for this experiment - bright pink and a fuchsia pink. The application is not smooth... It feels like you are applying sand over the stencil and it looks milky at first, but when it's dry it looks great.

Uporabila sem navadno belo lepilo (verjetno deluje katerokoli, ki je prozorno in nelepljivo, ko se posuši) in vanj zmešala bleščice. Uporabila sem roza in lila bleščice za ta eksperiment ter "pasto" nanesla preko stencil šablone. Nanos ni najbolj gladek, občutek imaš, kot da bi nanašal mivko, ampak ko se posuši, je zelo lepo. Na začetku je barva malo mlečna, ko pa se posuši, vidiš samo bleščice. 

I think I saw this somewhere online, but I can't remember where (so I'm not trying to sell you this as my own idea), but I haven't tried it jet. I think I will have to do it more often :)

Mislim, da sem to idejo videla nekje na spletu, vendar se ne spomnim točno kje (in vam tako ne prodajam tega kot nekaj, kar sem se spomnila sama), je pa še nisem preizkusila. Očitno bo to potrebno narediti večkrat :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp Anniversary Sale Haul

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I was complaining in my last Simon Says Stamp order that my package got lost for quite a few months, so I was super shocked that this order got to me in record time - 2 weeks. I got some new things from Hero Arts and a few things I got on my wish list for some time. I'm going to try some new watercolour paintbrushes (other crafters made me do it!) and I can't wait to stamp these balloon stamps from Sunny Studio Stamps :)

Za zadnje naročilo pri Simon Says Stamps sem se pritoževala, da se je moj paket izgubil za par mesecev, zato sem bila še toliko bolj presenečena, da je to naročilo potrebovalo do mene samo dva tedna. Naročila sem nekaj novejših stvari od Hero Arts in nekaj stvari, ki so bile že dlje časa na listi želja. Naročila sem par čopičev za akvarel (ostali ustvarjalci so me prisilili!) in komaj čakam, da odtisnem balone od Sunny Studio Stamps :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Katzelkraft Haul

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I found this stamp company (Katzelkraft) from Lindsay on her The Frugal Crafter blog and loved the ripped paper stamp. And then I found out it's a French company and I had to get some things :) I got the Cats, Dogs, Monsters, Castles, Doors and Ripped Paper along with a few Infusion Dye watercolour powders. The stamps are a whole sheet of red rubber with no cling foam.

Katzelkraft štampiljke sem prvič videla na The Frugal Crafter blogu, kjer jih je uporabila Lindsey in takoj mi je v oči padla štampiljka raztrganega papirja. Potem pa sem ugotovila, da je to francosko podjetje in med ponudbo sem v trenutku našla cel seznam čudovitih ilustracij. Naročila sem komplet z mačkami, psi, pošastkami, gradovi, vrati in raztrganim papirjem, zraven pa še nekaj odtenkom Infusion Dye akvarelov v prahu. Štampiljke so en kos rdeče gume brez pene.

Katzelkraft stamps have a very specific style of illustrations. Very whimsy and super fun (especially the animals). They ship worldwide and I'm sure you can find something that you like.

Katzelkraft ilustracije so zelo specifične, pravljične in zabavne (sploh živali). Dostavljajo kamorkoli po svetu in prepričana sem, da med njihovimi izdelki najdete nekaj zase. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan! 

 *This is not a sponsored post. I bought everything with my own money and I just wanted to share something new and fun with you.
Ta objava ni sponzorirana. Vse izdelke sem kupila s svojim denarjem in sem z vami želela deliti informacijo, saj se mi zdijo zabavne in malo manj poznane štampiljke.*

Happy Sunday on Rayher

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Rayher had a "Happy Sunday" last week with 30 % off the whole site and I "had" to get some things. I wanted a Corner Chomper since the beginning of my crafting, but it's quite an expensive tool so I took advantage this time. I got some cheap Viva Decor stamp sets for some specific projects, tweezers, because former one disappeared on me, some dies from Najlepši par that I was eying for a while now, Glossy Accents and a couple of Distress Ink pads: Lucky Clover, Carved Pumpkin and Wilted Violet. It was a great deal. 

Rayher je imel prejšnji teden veselo nedeljo z minus 30 % na celotno spletno stran, tako da sem "morala" izkoristiti. Corner Chomper sem si želela vse od začetkov ustvarjanja, vendar nikoli ni prišel na vrsto, ker je precej drag, tokrat pa sem si privoščila. Kupila sem tudi nekaj poceni Viva Decor štampiljk za specifične projekte, pinceto, ker je njena predhodnica izginila neznano kam, par rezalnih šablon Najlepšega para, ki sem jih opazovala že nekaj časa, nov Glossy Accents in par Distress blazinic: Lucky Clover, Carved Pumpkin in Wilted Violete. Izjemno zadovoljna z nakupom. 

Now I need to do some organizing :) Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Sedaj pa me čaka nekaj organiziranja :) Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan! 

Mavelu Haul

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Mavelu online store had a bunch of their stamps (including a bunch of Valentine's sets with sentiments and Easter things) on sale because they are making space for new ones. I couldn't pass that kind of discount.

Na Mavelu je bila nedavno tega super razprodaja starejših slovenskih setov štampiljk (super voščil za Valentinovo, ljubezenskih in velikonočnih setov), saj čistijo zaloge za nove izdelke. Nisem se mogla upret. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Before and After Monday Madness

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

After the Holidays my desk was a mess and I can't really work like that so I took some time and tidy things up a bit. My space is still not optimal, but it's much better. I can't wait to get it messy again :)

Po praznikih je bila moja miza katastrofalna in ustvarjanje v takem mi ne gre najbolje od rok. Vzela sem si torej nekaj minut (verjetno okoli 30) in malce pospravila stvari. Ni še optimalno, saj moram urediti še predale in poličke, je pa precej bolje. In sedaj komaj čakam, da jo bom spet razmetala :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Monday Madness Haul from December

Hello Everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I bought a few things from Najlepši par in December and also already used them in my 25 Days of Joy series. So if you were wondering about them... here they are :) And I also got a few bonus dies with the Thank you tag :)

Od Najlepšega para sem decembra kupila nekaj prazničnih stvari, ki sem jih pridno uporabljala že v seriji 25 Dni Veselja. Torej če ste se spraševali, kdaj sem jih delila, jih še nisem, jih pa danes :) Dobila sem celo par bonus rezalnih šablonic na priloženem sporočilcu :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

New Year, new plans? / Novo leto, novi načrti?

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

There is a bunch of New Year's resolutions going around this time of year and I'm no exception. I'm going to write down just a few card making related to keep myself accountable by letting you know the plan. But first I would like to look back on 2017. Since I had our little baby girl a lot has changed. I missed card making a lot and it was the right thing to do getting back into it at the end of year. I felt like that was me time and I needed that. It's not easy getting back after a pause of a few months but by doing more it felt better and enjoyable again. And I don't want to lose that in the following month.

And now my plans (in no particular order):

• Optimize my craft space. 
• Share my new space here. 
• Post three times/week (two times with cards included). 
• Be more active on social media. 
• Participate in more challenges. 
• Keep up with blogs of my fellow crafters. 
• Actually get thrue the card classes I purchased and do the homework. 

V tem času povsod dežujejo novoletne zaobljube in jaz nisem nobena izjema. Zapisala bom le nekaj tistih, ki se nanašajo na moj blog in voščilnice, da bom pod malce pritiska, ker poznate moje načrte. Najprej pa nekaj besed o 2017. Po tistem, ko se nama je pridružila mala princeska,  se je marsikaj spremenilo. Zelo sem pogrešala ustvarjanje in ko sem proti koncu leta ponovno resno zagrabila ustvarjalne pripomočke, je bil občutek fenomenalen. Dejansko je bil to čas zame in čeprav je bil začetek precej naporen, je v ustvarjanju zame spet en kup veselja. In tega v naslednjih mesecih prav gotovo ne želim izgubiti. 

In moji načrti (v naključnem vrstnem redu): 

• Optimizacija ustvarjalnega kotička. 
• Slike kotička deliti tudi tukaj. 
• Objaviti trikrat na teden (od tega dvakrat voščilnico). 
• Večja aktivnost na socialnih omrežjih. 
• Sodelovati v več izzivih. 
• Redno spremljati objave ostalih ustvarjalcev. 
• Dejansko priti skozi card classes, ki sem jih že kupila, in opraviti domačo nalogo. 

I wish you all the best in 2018, stay healthy and do what makes you happy. Thank you for putting up with me for the past year and I hope you join me in 2018.

Želim vam vse najlepše v 2018, ostanite zdravi in počnite tisto, kar vas osrečuje. Hvala, ker ste me prenašali v preteklem letu in upam, da se mi boste občasno pridružili tudi v 2018. 

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! 

 

Monday Madness Moving In (part 1)

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I shared the layout of my new craft corner already and this was my moving in process. I ordered a custom made ink pad holder for the space between my two shelves and it fits perfectly. I know some amazing handyman and he made this for me no problem. I love it.

Pokazala sem vam že pohištvo mojega novega ustvarjalnega kotička, tako nekako pa je potekal selitveni proces. Naročila sem stojalo za blazinice pri izjemnem mizarju, ki je po mojih navodilih, meritvah in par slikah naredil perfektno stojalo, ki ga naravnost obožujem. 

And then came unorganized chaos of getting things up and in. 

In potem je nastopil neurejeni kaos prenašanja stvari v zgornje nadstropje. 


And the half organized chaos after that :)

In na pol organiziran kaos malo kasneje :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Haul Christmas in July

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Rayher had a Christmas in July sale and I had to get some new goodies for the 25 Days of Joy series. I got some dies, stamps and decorations that were super inexpensive.

Rayher je imel julija razprodajo božičnih stvari in se nisem mogla upret. Naročila sem nekaj rezalnih šablon, štampiljk in dekorativnih malenkosti, da bo lažje ustvarjati za 25 dni veselja. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

I'm (hopefully) back!

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

It's been a long time since I made any kind of regular card making and/or blogging. I have an almost seven months old sweetie for an excuse. I hope you forgive me :) I have missed my blog and card making so I hope I can get into it again. I think if I write it down and make a virtual commitment I can kick my butt and actually do it :) I will try to post on my usual Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule, but I can't promise anything. I do have a hew hauls and my craft space to share so I will try to post something even if I don't have a card to share.

Že zelo dolgo časa na tem blogu ni bilo kakšnih konkretnih rednih objav. Moj izgovor je skoraj sedem mesecev stara žabica. Upam, da mi je oproščeno :) Pogrešala sem pisanje in izdelovanje voščilnic, tako da upam, da bi to ponovno lahko uvedla. Če bom to dejansko napisala in objavila, se morda uspem tudi zbrcat v "tazadno" in se držati tega. Poskušala bom ohraniti moj običajni urnik ponedeljek, sreda in petek, ampak nič ne obljubim.  Z vami moram deliti še nekaj nakupov in nov ustvarjalni kotiček, tako da imam nekaj materiala tudi, če ne bom imela voščilnice, ki bi jo želela objaviti. 

I plan on giving this blog a bit of a facelift and I do plan on having my 25 Days Of Joy series again this year. Fingers crossed I can do it :)

V planu imam malo grafično preurediti blog in mišljeno je, da ponovno izvedem 25 Dni Veselja. Držimo pesti, da mi uspe :) 

Thank you for sticking with me and I hope I see you again over here soon. Have a great day!

Hvala, da vztrajate z mano in upam, da se kmalu spet beremo. Želim vam super dan!

Monday Madness with Colouring Mediums

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Here is my last haul for 2016. I made a purchase on Amazon UK because here were some great deals and I spoilt myself a little :)

Še zadnji nakup leta 2016, ki ga moram delit z vami. Naročila sem nekaj stvari na Amazon UK, ker je bila cena ugodna, pa še malo razvajanja sem si zaslužila :)

First off I found a set of 72 Marco Raffine Oil based drawing pencils and I thought 15 pounds was a great deal. I tried them a bit already and I think they are well worth the money.

Najprej sem našla set 72 barvic Marco Raffine, ki so na oljni osnovi in se mi je cena 15 funtov zdela izjemno ugodna. Malo sem jih že preizkusila in se mi zdijo vredni nakupa. 

Then I needed something to organize my pencils in because I saw that these came in a paper box that usually doesn't last long and it's not practical when you are trying to find and put away the colours. I found these two 72 sloth pouches that roll up. I bought one for the Marco pencils and one for my 36 wax pencils and 24 watercolour pencils because I think this kind of organization will suit me better.

Potrebovala sem še nekaj, kar bi mi pomagalo organizirati in shraniti barvice, saj sem opazila, da so Marco barvice zapakirane v papirnati škatli, ki ni ravno trpežne sorte, pa tudi jemanje ven in pospravljanje barv je nepraktično. Našla sem torej ti dve roli za 72 svinčnikov, ki jih razgrneš in zrolaš nazaj, ko vse skupaj pospraviš. Eno sem kupila za nove Marco barvice, drugo pa za moj set 36 navadnih in 24 akvarelnih barvic. Imam občutek, da mi bo takšno shranjevanje bolj na roko. 

I was also eying ZIG Clear Color Brush Markes and Gansai Tambi watercolours but I decided on Gansai Tambi set of 36 colours. It was a great prize and I thought I would use this more.

Odločala pa sem se še med ZIG Clear Color Brush markerji in Gansai Tambi vodenimi barvami in se nazadnje odločila za Gansai Tambi set 36 barv. Cena je bila ugodna in iskreno mislim, da jih bom večkrat vzela v roke. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Monday Madness with Copics

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have been saving up for some time and I finally got my first set of Copic markers. Now I need to start saving for another one :D

Že nekaj časa sem dajala everčke na stan in si končno privoščila svoj prvi set Copic markerjev. Zdaj pa moram začeti z varčevanjem za novega :D

Have a great day!

Želim vam super dan!

Monday Madness First Haul of 2017

Hello everyone and welcome in 2017!

Lepo pozdravljeni in dobrodošli v 2017! 

I hope you had wonderful holidays and that you are ready to tackle this year head on. I have three haul posts coming up and they are all technically from last year, but I haven't shown these things yet. First one is a couple of dies that I already used in my 25 Days of Joy series. They are all from Sizzix.

 Upam, da ste imeli čudovite praznike in da ste pripravljeni na novo leto in vse, kar nam prinaša. Za vas imam tri objave s stvarmi, ki sem jih nakupila, ki pa so vse strogo gledano kupljene lansko leto, nisem pa jih še uspela pokazati tukaj. Prvi komplet predstavljajo strije seti rezalnih šablon, ki pa ste jih že videli v akciji, saj sem jih uporabila v 25 Dneh Veselja.

Thank you for coming over and I hope you stick with me this year ;)

Hvala za obisk in upam, da ostanete v moj družbi še v naslednjem letu ;)

Monday Madness Craft Space Progress

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

(Yesterday I couldn't upload photos, so I'm posting this today.) This is our corner office and craft space in the bedroom. I put everything together and now we have to level things and anchor them. And then we have to fill it up :) That's going to be interesting.

(Včeraj nisem mogla naložiti fotografije, zato objavljam danes.) To je najina pisarna in ustvarjalni kotiček v kotu spalnice. Vse sem sestavila, sedaj pa morava poravnati in fiksirati vse skupaj, da ne bo neprijetnih presenečenj. Potem pa pride polnjenje :) To bo še zanimivo. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great week.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super teden.

Monday Madness Under Construction

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I don't have a card for you today, I'm sorry, but I have this going on. Office and craft space under construction and some more things are waiting to be assembled, I need to clean everything and then move all my stuff. Need to do that ASAP :)

Danes nimam za vas nobene voščilnice, se opravičujem, se pa dogaja tole. Pisarna in ustvarjalni kot v nastajanju. Še nekaj stvari čaka, da jih sestavim, potem pa čiščenje in selitev. Čim prej, po možnosti :) 

Have a great week!

Želim vam super teden! 

Monday Madness Mystery Bag Revealed

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

So today I'm revealing contents of my mystery bag from last week. I had to buy tape (three different widths) and foam tape and it turned into this :)

Danes vam predstavljam vsebino skrivnostne vrečke prejšnjega tedna. Morala sem kupiti lepilni trak (v treh različnih širinah) in penast trak, nakupovanje pa je privedlo do naslednjega izkupička :) 

Now I can go and put this away. Have a great week. :)

Sedaj pa lahko pospravim. Želim vam super teden. :)
