Christmas in July

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

There is Christmas in July challenge going on A Blog Named Hero and I have a few Hero Arts Christmas sets that I didn't have a chance to try last year and this Winter Heart Stamp & Cut set is one of them. It's adorable. There is a big fireplace die and quite a few add-ons including three different stockings, cookies and a few adorable sentiments.

Na A Blog Named Hero poteka izziv božič v juliju in v svojih zalogi imam kar nekaj Hero Arts setov, ki jih še nisem uspela uporabiti in med njimi je tudi za Winter Heart Stamp & Cut set, ki sem ga uporabila danes. Velika rezalna šablona izreže kamin, med štampiljkami pa so tri različne variante nogavičk, piškotki in še par lepih voščil. 

Have you started on your Christmas cards already?

Ste vi že začeli izdelovati novoletne voščilnice?

Have a great day!

Želim vam čudovit dan! 

Elegant Poppy Card

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

It's smart to have a sympathy card or two on hand before you need it and this poppy Delicate Blooms stamp from Hero Arts white heat embossed on black with just a touch of black Liquid Pearls and black organza ribbon is perfect. It could also be a congratulations card for a minimalist person you know. This is also an older Hero Arts stamp, but I have to dig it out from my stash from time to time. It's beautiful.

Pametno je imeti kakšno sožalnico pri roki za takrat, ko jo potrebuješ in ti cvetovi maka iz seta Delicate Blooms Hero Arts so idealni. Z belim prahom so embosirani na črno, dodala pa sem črne Liquid Pearls in črn organca trak. Lahko bi bila tole tudi čestitke za minimalista v vašem življenju. Set štampiljk je sicer že malo starejši, ampak ga moram vsake toliko časa spet potegniti na plano. Čudovit je. 

It's Crafter's Choice challenge this month at A Blog Named Hero. Happy crafting! Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Na A Blog Named Hero je ta mesec Ustvarjalčeva izbira izziv. Veselo ustvarjanje! Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan! 

25 Days of Joy / 25 Dni Veselja # 8

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I'm a bit behind with my series but I will try to get up to speed ASAP :) Today I have a set of Christmas cards made with two older background stamps from Hero Arts that still look amazing. I brushed Perfect Pearls over them and added Simon Says Stamp poinsettias made out of Poinsettia parade die. I just stacked the flowers and put three on every card. Sentiment is from Najlepši par.

Malce zaostajam s serijo, ampak se bom potrudila, da ponovno ujamem ritem :) Danes sem naredila set voščilnic z dvema starejšima Hero Arts štampiljkama za ozadje, ki sem jih odtisnila in preko nanesla Perfect Pearls prah. Na vsako voščilnico sem dodala tri božične zvezde, ki sem jih sestavila s Simon Says Stamp rezalno šablono Poinsettia parade. Voščilo je od najlepšega para.

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan! 

Voščilnico dodajam v galerijo Najlepšega para.

Friday Fun with Pearls

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Homemade mask, some Perfect and Liquid Pearls and two dies - butterflies and sentiment. I made a wedding or anniversary card. I think that kind of subtle shine that Perfect and Liquid Pearls give to the card is perfect for occasions like this.

Doma narejena maska, nekaj Perfect in Liquid Pearls ter dve rezalni šabloni - metulj in voščilo. Danes imam za vas poročno voščilnico ali pa voščilnico ob obletnici poroke. Nežen lesket, ki ga Perfect in Liquid Pearls dajo voščilnici, se mi zdi nadvse primeren za takšne priložnosti. 

Have a great day!

Želim vam čudovit dan!

Work Time Wednesday with Carnival Cupcakes

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I used the most adorable stamp set today - Mama Elephant - Carnival Cupcakes :) I used the cupcake part of it but I will have to use those animals ASAP. 

Danes sem se igrala z enim izmed najbolj simpatičnih setov štampiljk Mama Elephant - Carnival Cupcakes :) Danes sem uporabila kolačke, ampak živalce kar kličejo po novih voščilnicah.

I used them for the background on my first card and one as a focal point. 

Na prvi voščilnici sem z njimi naredila ozadje in nato še en odtis izrezala kot glavni fokus. Voščilo prav perfektno paše zraven teh sladkih dobrot. 

I paper pieced cupcakes on the second one. I haven't done that in a long time. 

Na drugi voščilnici sem uporabila različne vzorčaste papirje. Tega se nisem lotila že nekaj časa. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Using Up Your Technique Piece with Hero Arts

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I shared two technique pieces on our A Blog Named Hero Facebook Page last week and today I'm sharing three cards that I made with one of those pieces.

Prejšnji teden sem na Facebook strani A Blog Named Hero delila dve ozadji in danes imam za vas pripravljene tri voščilnice, pri katerih sem uporabila eno izmed ozadji.

I die cut 9 butterflies out of that sponged background. I used three different birthday sentiments in Slovene and added different sparkle element to each - Liquid Pearls, rhinestones and Sparkling Clear sequins.

Izrezala sem 9 metuljev in senčenega ozadja in jih razporedila po treh voščilnicah. Za vsako sem uporabila drugačno voščilo in malce menjala postavitev, na vsaki voščilnici pa je tudi drugačen svetleč element. Uporabila sem Liquid Pearls, draguljčke in Sparkling Clear bleščice. 

This sponged piece would also be perfect for some Easter eggs. They would look adorable.

Tudi velikonočna jajčka, izrezana iz tega papirja, bi verjetno zgledala super. Bo potrebno preizkusiti. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Sweet Valentines # 4

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

It's The day and I have a sweet bear card for you today. It looks like an ordinary card but when you tip it in the light the heart shines :) Liquid Pearls do that :)

Danes je V dan in za vas imam pripravljeno voščilnico s srčkanim medvedkom. Sprva zgleda povsem običajna voščilnica, ko pa jo premaknete v pravi svetlobi se srce zasveti. To je zasluga Liquid Pearls :) 

I hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones!

Upam, da ste preživeli čudovit dan v krogu najdražjih!

Friday Fun with Liquid Pearls

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I had some problem with my pictures so I'm posting this card today. I love shimmer on my cards so colouring with Liquid Pearls is a great solution. I love these sentiments from Najlepši par and I think they can make any card perfect :) 

Včeraj sem imela nekaj težav s fotografijami, zato objavljam voščilnico danes. Glede na to, da so mi všeč bleščeče voščilnice, mislim da je barvanje z Liquid Pearls idealna izbira. Predvsem pa sem zadnje čase obsedena s setom štampiljk od Najlepšega para, s katerim je vsaka voščilnica v trenutku popolna :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great weekend!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super vikend!

Voščilnico dodajam v februarsko galerijo Najlepšega para.

25 Days of Joy / 25 Dni Veselja # 9

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have first half of my project here for you today and the other half is coming tomorrow. I tried making my pattern paper and use A4 sheet of cardstock to make a set of cards. I found a template for cutting up the A4 and then I worked with those pieces. This is what I came up with. 

Danes imam za vas prvo polovico projekta, druga polovica pa sledi jutri. Poskusila sem narediti svoj vzorčast papir na A4 formatu in porabiti celoten karton za set voščilnic. Na spletu sem našla vzorec za razrez in nato delala z nastalimi kosi. To so voščilnice, ki so nastale.

Thank you for coming over and don't forget to check back tomorrow for the other part.

Hvala za obisk in ne pozabite na drugi del jutri.

25 Days of Joy / 25 Dni Veselja # 7

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have another classic beauty for you today. I gold embossed the tree and masked a rectangle around it to blend some Distress ink over it. I put some pattern paper on the base and sentiment up on a strip of cardstock. I added dots of liquid Pearls and a few snowflakes.

Danes imam za vas eno klasično lepotico. Drevesce sem embosirala z zlatim prahom in okoli njega zamaskirala pravokotnik, ki sem ga senčila z distress blazinicami. Za ozadje sem prilepila kos vzorčastega papirja, voščilo sem odtisnila na trak, dodala pikice z Liquid Pearls in nekaj belih snežink. 

I hope your day was awesome. I got sick a bit but I hope I will be up and running in no time.

Upam, da ste imeli čudovit dan. Jaz sem se malo prehladila, ampak upam, da bom kmalu s polno energijo letala naokoli. 

Mateja

Voščilnico dodajam v izziv Ustvarjalnega dotika: Bel sneg (iz trgovine sem uporabila štampiljko Vesele praznik!, Liquid Pearls v barvi Rouge in Stickles bleščice v barvi Golden Rod).

25 Days Of Joy / 25 Dni Veselja # 1

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

First of all I have to thank each and every one of you that stopped by my Hero Arts Holiday Blog Hop on Monday and left me such wonderful comments. I can't tell you how much they mean to me. When I feel down I have to go back to that post and remind myself why I love to do what I do :) You still have until November 22nd to leave a comment for the giveaway.

Najprej se moram zahvaliti vsakemu izmed vas, ki ste se v ponedeljek ustavili na moji objavi za Hero Arts praznično poskakovanje po blogih in mi pustili nadvse čudovite komentarje. Nikakor ne najdem besed, da bi povedala koliko mi pomenijo. Ko bom imela slab dan, bom samo prebrala par komentarjev in se spomnila zakaj počnem vse skupaj in zakaj mi je to tako zelo všeč :) Do 22. novembra še imate čas, da pustite komentar in se potegujete za nagrado.

And now on to my post for today. It's that time of year again. I did three cards a week for my holiday card series last year, but this year I decided to make it back to back from Monday till Friday every week up to Christmas. I hope I can keep up :) It's going to be a busy weekend. 

In tako smo prišli do objave za danes. Ponovno je tisti čas v letu. Lansko leto sem objavila tri izdelke na teden, za letos pa sem se odločila, da bom objavila nekaj praznično obarvanega čisto vsak delovni dan vse do božiča. Upam, da bom dohajala :) Predvsem pa bo vikend zelo pester, da se dobro pripravim. 

I have a wreath card for you today in traditional Christmas red and green colours. I used three stamps for the circles and then I flipped them around to use them as dots and one dotted circles stamp for added Perfect Pearls. Sentiment up on a banner, some ribbon and a bow to hang my wreath up and first card for this year is done. 

Danes imam za vas pripravljeno voščilnico z venčkom v tradicionalno rdeče zeleni kombinaciji. Uporabila sem tri različno velike štampiljke krogov, ki sem jih nato obrnila in uporabila še za pike ter eno štampiljko pikčastih krogov, na katere sem nanesla nekaj Perfect Pearls prahu. Voščilo na zastavici in trak s pentljo, da smo venček obesili, pa je prva voščilnica za letos narejena. 

I hope you join me on this adventure and get inspired along the way.

Upam, da se mi pridružite na tej pustolovščini in vmes najdete še kaj navdiha.

Work Time Wednesday # 34

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I loved making card last week and so I made another one :) I think we need a bit of sun these days :/

Voščilnica prejšnjega tedna mi je bila zelo všeč, zato sem na enak način naredila še eno :) Mislim, da nam malo sončka te dni ne bi škodilo :/

Have a great day and thank you for coming over!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Sparkle with Lawn Fawn

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have my first post up on A Blog Named Hero today and it's collaboration with Lawn Fawn. I made this little Holiday card with adorable Lawn Fawn stamps and pattern paper.

Danes je na A Blog Named Hero objavljen moja prva voščilnica v mesecu oktobru, v katerem imamo sodelovanje z Lawn Fawn. Naredila sem praznično voščilnico z Lawn Fawn štampiljkami in vzorčastim papirjem. 

Thank you for coming over and check A Blog Named Hero for more info and my supply list.

Hvala za obisk in preverite A Blog Named Hero za več informacij in moj seznam pripomočkov.

Work Time Wednesday # 32

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have a special card to show you today. I collage friend got married on Saturday and I made a card and money holder for me and my friends to give as a gift to the new couple. It's a longer format to host a couple of Euros and all of our signatures. I took inspiration from their invitation that was a craft colour paper with lace and calligraphy text on it.

Danes imam za vas posebno voščilnico. V soboto se je poročil sošolec s faksa in s prijatelji smo mladoporočencema podarili skupno darilo in voščilnico, ki sem jo naredila. V notranjosti je bil prostor za denarne prispevke in vse podpise, zato je tudi podolgovatega formata. Navdih za voščilnico pa je bilo kar njuno vabilo v kraft barvi z dodatkom čipke in kaligrafijo v notranjosti. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam lep dan!

Work Time Wednesday # 25

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I'm here actually on a Wednesday :) I have another card using Summer Blossom stamp set again and this time it is a birthday themed. I actually coloured this flowers in with some Liquid Pearls and water but you can't see the shine in this photo. Have I ever told you how much I love Memory Box butterfly dies that I own? I just can't get enough of them :)

Danes pa sem tukaj dejansko v sredo :) Ponovno imam za vas voščilnico narejeno s Summer Blossom setom štampiljk in danes je na vrsti rojstnodnevna čestitka. Cvetove sem pobarvala z Liquid Pearls in malo vode, vendar se na žalost na fotografiji ne vidi sijaja. Sem vam kdaj že povedala, kako zelo obožujem moje Memory Box rezalne šablone z motivi metuljev? Enostavno si ne predstavljam izdelovanja voščilnic brez njih :)

Have a wonderful day!

Želim vam čudovit dan!
