All about tags / Vse se vrti okoli tagca

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today I'm following Karin's beautiful tag on Tag You're It! Challenge blog, but I made a card with a tag and it's a new baby girl card :) I also followed Lawnscaping current challenge and added a little giraffe critter.

Danes sledim navodilom Tag You're It! izziva, pri čemer sem sledila Karinemu tagcu za inspiracijo. Naredila sem voščilnico s tagcem, ki je namenjena novorojenki :) Sledila sem tudi Lawnscaping izzivu in uporabila živalco na svoji voščilnici.

I made a sponged background with a MemoyBox stecil and Soft purple HA Shadow ink. I cut the tag shape and rounded the corners and treaded some organza ribbon through the top. I shaded it a bit with Soft pink HA Shadow ink, stamped my sentiment that says Welcome to the world! in Memento Elderberry ink and added two flowers with leaves from MFT on the bottom. I stamped my giraffe and coloured it with my watercolour pencils, cut it out and glued it on the tag. I shaded a piece of white cardstock with Soft pink and Green hills Shadow inks to blend them together and cut my MB butterfly out of that piece. It was easier that way than to colour the butterfly already cut out. A few rhinestones and some foam adhesive and the card was done :)

Za ozadje sem uporabila MemoryBox stencil šablonico, preko katere sem senčila Soft purple HA blazinico. Tagec sem izrezala in zaokrožila kote, skozi vrhnji del pa sem napeljala nekaj vijoličnega organza traku. Na spodnji del sem dodala dve MFT rožici in listke. Žirafo sem odtisnila in pobarvala z akvarelnimi barvicami ter jo izrezala in prilepila na tagec. Voščilo sem odtisnila z Memento blazinico Elderberry in tagec malce obarvala s pomočjo HA Soft pink blazinice. Za metuljčka sem uporabila blazinico za senčenje in HA Soft pink in Green hills blazinici. Senčila sem kos belega kartona in šele nato izrezala MB metuljčka, saj se mi je zdelo to precej lažje, kot senčiti že izrezano obliko. Nekaj draguljčkov in penastega lepila, pa je bila voščilnica končana.

SSS Wednesday Challenge for this week is Tag It! so I'm entering this card into that one too :) 

Tudi na SSS Wednesday Challenge blogu je ta teden izziv v povezavi s tagci, tako da voščilnico prijavljam tudi tja. 

Thank you all for coming over and have a wonderful day! 

Hvala za obisk in čudovit dan vam želim!

SSS Rock the Technique / Razturaj tehniko

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

There is a Rock the Technique Challenge on SS Monday Challenge blog for this week. I'm shearing my favourite technique today: emboss resist with Distress Ink watercolour background. I embossed HA Leafy Vines with silver embossing powder by Ranger on some watercolour paper. I smooshed my ink pads onto my craft sheet, sprayed them with some water and pressed my embossed paper onto them. I used blue and purple Distress Ink pads (Broken China, Salty Ocean and Seedles Preservess if I remember correctly). I let that dry and in the mean time embossed my numbers in silver embossing powder again, cut them out and stamped the Leafy Vines stamp a couple times using Mamento ink in Lulu Lavender. For the banner with a die cut congratulations I pressed the same Memento ink on some white cardstock and die cut the sentiment out of that part. Banner is cut from the same white cardstock, then I stamped it a couple times and drew a silver border around with a silver marker. Numbers and banner are glued on the watercolour paper background with foam adhesive and everything is glued down on a white card base. 

 

Na SS Monday Challenge blogu ja ta teden tema tehnike. Za to voščilnico sem uporabila svojo najljubšo: emboss resist (nikakor ne najdem pametnega prevoda... mi lahko kdo pomaga?) z akvarelnim dodajanjem Distress Ink blazinic. Najprej sem na kos akvarelnega papirja embosirala HA Leafy Vines ozadje s srebrnim Ranger embosirnim prahom. Nato sem na svojo podlago nekajkrat pritisnila modre in vijolično Distress blazinico (Broken China, Salty Ocean in Seedles Preserves), vse skupaj poškropila z vodo in pritisnila papir v to barvasto lužo. Medtem ko sem pustila ozadje, da se posuši, sem s srebrnim prahom embosirala še številki in ju izrezala. Z Memento blazinico v barvi Lulu Lavender sem isto HA štampiljko odtisnila še nekajkrat preko številk. Za voščilo sem uporabila šablonico Najlepšega para, ki sem jo izrezala iz kartona, ki sem ga pobarvala z Memento blazinico, zastavico pa sem izrezala iz belega kartona, v dveh kotih odtisnila par listkov in s srebrnim flomastrom narisala obrobo. Zastavico z voščilom in številki sem prilepila s pomočjo penastega lepila na ozadje, ki je prilepljeno na belo osnovo za voščilnice.

Voščilnico dodajam tudi v septembrsko galerijo Najlepšega para.

Thank you for coming over and have a wonderful day!


Hvala za obisk in čudovit dan vam želim!

MFT Sketch for this week / MFT skica za ta teden

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Do not ask me what happened with last two weeks because I have no idea :) But I'm back today with a MFT sketch for this week. 

Raje me ne vprašat kam sta šla zadnja dva tedna, ker se mi sploh ne sanja :) Ampak danes sem nazaj z mojo interpretacijo skice na MFT blogu za ta teden.

I flipped it clockwise and made it a square card, but I think it still counts :) I used MFT's DC Trendy Triangles stamp set to make blue and green background, some Basic Grey pattern paper for numbers and one strip and green ribbon for my extra embellishment. I didn't want to use glitter (since this is supposed to be a masculine card), but I added some Glossy Accents on top of a few dots in the background. 

Skico sem zavrtela četrt kroga v desno in naredila osnovo kvadratno, vendar menim, da vseeno šteje. Za ozadje sem uporabila MFT štampiljke DC Trendy Triangles in jih odtisnila v zeleni in modri barvi, uporabila sem nekaj vzorčastega papirja za številke in enega izmed trakov ter zelen trak za dodaten okrasek. Nisem želela uporabiti bleščic (navsezadnje je to moška voščilnica), sem pa dodala nekaj kapljic Glossy Accents lepila na krogce v ozadju.

You can see tiny drops of Glossy Accents better on this picture.

Na tej fotografiji se malce bolje vidijo svetleče pikice.

I used some sponging to define my layers - green for the background, teal for the accent rectangleand black for the numbers. And I also used some foam tape to put it all together.

Da sem malce definirala vse plasti, sem uporabila nekaj senčenja in sicer zeleno blazinico za ozadje, turkizno zeleno blazinico za osrednji pravokotnik in črno za številke. Med plastmi sem uporabila tudi penasto lepilo za zodatno globino voščilnice.

I'm also entering this card into SSS Wednesday challenge for this week because I used stamps to make my background :)

Voščilnico prijavljam tudi v sredin izziv na SSS Wednesday Challenge blogu, saj sem uporabila štampiljke za svoje ozadje. 

Hope you are having a wonderful day! 

Želim vam čudovit dan!

Thank you / Hvala

Hello everyone! 

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today I have a simple Thank you card that combines a few of my most favourite things. First of all... it's super simple, but there is not a lot of white space. I don't quite know how to deal with white space so this is a perfect compromise :) Second... there is a butterfly. I love butterflies on cards and I just can't resist stamps and dies with butterflies. Third thing is that Leafy Vines stamp from HA that I absolutely love and can't get enough of. Fourth thing is sentiment die. This one is a thank you one. You can fit them anywhere if you don't have space to stamp something and these from Najlepši par are really beautiful. And then there is also sparkle... I used clear embossing powder on butterfly, Glossy Accents on sentiment, clear rhinestones and Stickles. Sounds like a lot, but I don't think there is too much.

Danes delim preprosto zahvalno voščilnico, ki pa vključuje precej elementov, ki so mi zelo všeč in jih posledično zelo pogosto uporabljam. Kot prvo je voščilnica zelo preprosta, kar mi je zelo všeč, vendar ni velikih površin bele podlage, s katero si za enkrat še nisva preveč blizu. Hitro se zgodi, da se mi zdi voščilnica preveč prazna, tukaj pa mi je uspel zelo posrečen kompromis :) Kot drugo sem na njej uporabila metulja. Šablone in štampiljke z metulji so moja šibka točka in zelo hitro se odločim za nakup kakšne čudovite variacije, potem pa jih je v moji zalogi toliko, da se težko odločim, katero bi uporabila. Tretji element, ki ga prav tako obožujem, je štampiljka HA Leafy Vines, ki sem jo uporabila za ozadje. Všeč mi je prav toliko kot prvi dan, ko sem jo zagledala. Četrti element, ki bi ga izpostavila, so voščila v obliki šablon (sploh od Najlepšega para so naravnost božanske). Všeč mi je dimenzija, ki se jo s temi šablonicami doseže, še najbolj pa mi je všeč, da lahko voščila dodaš kamorkoli, saj ni potrebno vnaprej razmišljati, kam boš odtisnil kratko sporočilce. In še zadnji element, brez katerega dejansko ne gre na nobeni moji voščilnici. Pika na i s pomočjo bleščic oz. bleščečih elementov. Tukaj sem uporabila kar dolg spisek različnih variant, saj je na metulju prozoren embosirni prah, na besedici hvala Glossy accents, na trupu metulja in ozadju par prozornih draguljčkov, dodala pa sem še par vijugic narejenih s pomočjo Stickles bleščic v lepilu. 

I realise that my lighting is not that great, but I'm working on it. Sun does not what to help and I can't chase it all the time, but I did some research and I will build me a light box first chance that I get. I have some organizing challenges in front of me for next week or so, but then I will have to work on my lighting.

Zavedam se, da svetloba na sliki ni najbolj idealna, vendar sonce nikakor ne želi sodelovati z menoj. Opravila sem nekaj brskanja po spletu, tako da bom poskusila narediti svetlobno škatlo takoj, ko bo to mogoče. Najprej me čaka nekaj organizacije na več področjih, potem pa bo projekt svetloba na prvem mestu. 

Voščilnico prijavljam v avgustovsko galerijo izdelkov Najlepšega para. 

Hope you are having a wonderful last few days of summer vacations and I wish you an amazing day! 

Upam, da uživate še zadnje dni poletnih počitnic in vam želim izjemno čudovit dan!

SS: Make It Sparkle! / Bleščeče čestitke

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Life got in the way of my blog and my most used sentence last week was: "I have to write a post, but I can't do it right now." How cliché of me, right!? But today I'm back and I'm back with a pow :) Over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge this week's theme is Make It Sparkle! And this wedding card is full of glitter. The background is made with white embossing paste over a HA stencil. I coated the embossing paste with glitter embossing powder and let it dry on its own. Then I melted the powder with my heat gun and glued it on my purple card base. I cut two Memorybox butterflies from dark purple cardstock and covered theme with some clear Wink of Stella brush marker glitter. I did the same with the sentiment piece that says Congratulations, glued it on my embossing paste background and added some Liquid pearls on the body of both butterflies.

Življenje je ponovno ubralo svojo pot, tako da je bil v zadnjih dneh največkrat uporabljen stavek: "Napisati moram objavo, ampak zdajle nimam časa." Zelo tipično, saj vem, ampak takšno je življenje. Danes se vračam v velikem slogu in sicer s parom bleščečih perutničk na poročni voščilnici. Tema na SS Wednesday Challenge za ta teden je Naj bo bleščeče! in ta voščilnica je kot nalašč za to priložnost. Ozadje sem naredila s pomočjo HA stencil šablone, preko katere sem nanesla belo embosirno pasto in jo posula z bleščečim embosirnim prahom. Ko se je pasta posušila, sem prah stopila s pomočjo moje grelne pištole in ozadje prilepila na svetlo vijolično osnovo za voščilnico. Iz temno vijoličnega kartona sem izrezala dva Memorybox metuljčka in besedico čestitke, rezalno šablonico Najlepšega para. Vse izrezke sem velikodušno prekrila s prozornim Wink of Stella markerjem in jih prilepila na ozadje. Metuljčkoma sem po trupu dodala še nekaj Liquid pearls . 

Since this is a wedding card and most of time money or gift certificates are the gift of choice I made a pocket on the inside where you can tuck some money or a gift card and write a message for the couple on the other side. I just partially die cut Memorybox solid butterfly on both sides, sponged the edges a little bit and added some tiny ones covered with Wink of Stella on both of them. 

Ker je to poročna vizitka in običajno podarjamo denar ali darilne bone, sem v notranjosti naredila žepek, kamor takšno darilce lahko varno spravimo, na nasprotno stran pa dopišemo še voščilo za mladoporočenca. Žepek sem naredila tako, da sem delno izrezala dva Memorybox metuljčka na vsaki strani in ju po robovih malce senčila z vijolično blazinico ter jima dodala še dva majčkena metuljčka, ki sem ju prekrila z Wink of Stella markerjem.
