A Pocketful of Stamps

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 :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

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!

Work Time Wednesday # 35

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

Do you have that special pattern paper that is just too beautiful to cut it apart? There is never the right project for it? Well I used one of those today. And to keep focus on that paper I just added a few die cuts. Now it's waiting for the right person to get it ;)

Imate v svoji zalogi kakšen vzorčast papir, ki je preprosto preveč lep, da bi ga razrezali? Ali pa ni nikoli pravega izdelka, za katerega bi ga porabili? No, danes mi je uspelo porabiti enega od teh. Da sem ohranila fokus na čudovitem ozadju, sem dodala le par izrezkov. Zdaj pa čaka na pravega prejemnika ;)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan.

A Blog Named Hero Challenge: Cards for Kids

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

We have another Challenge for you today at A Blog Named Hero. We are making cards for kids.

Danes imamo za vas nov izziv na A Blog Named Hero. Ustvarjali bomo voščilnice za otroke.

I made a shaker card with Lawn Fawn stamp set Ready, Set, Snow. I used tiny stamps from that stamp set and Sparkle Borders from Hero Arts on background of the shaker with ink and silver embossing. I used a couple of white and blue sequins inside that shaker and also tiny silver stars (that are actually supposed to be for nail art).

Naredila sem tresočko s setom Ready, Set, Snow od Lawn Fawn. Uporabila sem najmanjše štampiljke iz tega in Sparkle Borders seta štampiljk od Hero Arts za ozadje na tresočem delu, ki sem jih odtisnila z modro blazinico in tudi srebrno embosirala. V notranjost okvirja sem nasula par različnih belih in modrih bleščic, dodala pa sem še srebrne zvezdice, ki so sicer mišljene kot dekoracija na nohtih.

Snow men are glued on top of the shaker and I made some snow underneath of them with a dry baby wipe.
