Sumertime Fun

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

When I hear of summertime and cards I instantly think of wedding cards. It's wedding season after all. In this Hero Arts Filigree Border Fancy Die is perfect for it. I used it on some pattern paper with glitter in light pink. I added two die cut borders and applied Grape Juice ink on die cut Congratulations die and two Memory Box butterflies. I also added Versa Mark ink on top and two coats of White Satin Embossing Powder. That is such a beautiful finish.

Ko slišim besede poletna zabava, pomislim na poroko in s tem poročne voščilnice. Saj je navsezadnje sezona za poroke. In Hero Arts Filigree Border Fancy Die rezalna šablona je kot naročena za to priložnost. Izrezala sem dva robova iz svetlo roza vzorčastega papirja z dodanimi bleščicami. Voščilo in oba metulja sem pobarvala z Grape Juice blazinico in s pomočjo Versa Mark blazinice nanesla še dve plasti White Satin embosirnega prahu. Res čudovit sijaj. 

There is Summertime Fun Challenge over at A Blog Named Hero and I can't wait to see how you interpret that in your creations. Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Na A Blog Named Hero je izziv Poletna zabava in komaj čakam, da vidim vašo interpretacijo in vaše kreacije. Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan! 

Hearts Over Hearts

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I have another wedding card for you today using heart full of hearts stamp from Mavelu that you saw in my Valentine's cards already. This idea of gold embossing over red stamp popped into my head the moment I saw this stamp set but I didn't have time to make it. It turned out even better that it looked in my head :) Love that!

Danes sem uspela uresničiti idejo poročne voščilnice, ki mi je padla na pamet v trenutku, ko sem zagledala ta set - zlat embos preko rdečega odtisa. Ta set sem že uporabila na voščilnicah za Valentinovo, saj je ta štampiljka srce polnega srce res idealna za ljubezenske voščilnice. Končni izdelek pa je dejansko še boljši, kot je bila skica v moji glavi.

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Flowers Opening into a Heart

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have another love card for you today since it's Valentine's Day :) I used My Favourite Things stamp and die set and arranged the flowers and leaves around a heart opening. I left it with no sentiment but there is space to add one if wanted.

Za vas imam še eno voščilnico s srcem, ker je ravno Valentinovo :) Uporabila sem My Favourite Things set štampiljk in rezalnih šablon in nato cvetove in liste razporedila tako, da so oblikovali odprtino v obliki srca. Pustila sem jo brez voščila, ampak lahko se doda kasneje. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

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!

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!

Simple wedding cards

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I love the look of this Simon Says Stamp Leaves Background stamp and I wanted to use it on craft paper with white embossing and Perfect Pearls. I have two different shades of craft so I used Perfect Pearls on lighter and embossing on darker one.

Zelo mi je všeč oblika listov na Leaves Background Simon Says Stamp štampiljki in želela sem jo uporabiti na kraft papirju z belim embosirnim prahom in Perfect Pearls prahom. V zalogi imam dva različna odtenka kraft papirja, tako da sem na svetlejšem uporabila Perfect Pearls, na temnejšem pa bel embosing. 

I die cut two butterflies and a sentiment from glitter paper and glued it on white embossed card base. Both sentiment dies are from Najlepši par. Second one is die cut from white cardstock but I used Heart of Roses die from Simon Says Stamp instead of the butterflies and added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins for a bit of colour.

Dva metulja in voščilo sem izrezala iz bleščečega papirja in jih prilepila na osnovo z belim embosingom. Na drugo ozadje pa sem prilepila Simon Says Stamp Heart of Roses izrezek in drugo voščilo Najlepšega para. Nekaj barve sem dodala s Pretty Pink Posh bleščicami. 

Valentine's Day is around the corner and then comes the wedding season. You can easily change these two into Valentine's Day cards.

Valentinovo se bliža, potem pa se bo že zelo kmalu začela glavna sezona porok. Preprost in eleganten slog je za poroko vedno aktualen, brez večjega napora pa ti dve voščilnici lahko spremenite tudi v voščilnico za vašega Valentinčka. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

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!

Work Time Wednesday Heart of Roses

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

Today I made a wedding card using this beautiful die from Simon Says Stamp. I will have to play with it some more using the negative parts as well. I just love the look of this hearts :)

Danes sem naredila poročno voščilnico s to čudovito rezalno šablono Simon Says Stamp. Še se bom morala poigrati s temi izrezki, tudi negativnimi deli. Res je čudovito srce :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

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!

Friday Fun with Little Wedding Bits

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

It's been one of those crazy weeks when I don't know what day it is, but I made this wedding card and I used Wplus9 Little Bits stamp set. This heart shape is perfect in my opinion. Cute and rounded :) 

Ta teden je bil eden izmed tistih, ko nisem vedela kater dan ali datum je, sem pa za danes uspela narediti to poročno voščilnico, za katero sem uporabila Wplus9 Little Bits set štampiljk s perfektno obliko srčka. Zaobljena in prisrčna oblika :) 

Have a great weekend. I know I need one :)

Želim vam super konec tedna. Zase vem, da ga nujno potrebujem :)

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 # 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!

Friday Fun # 26

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I stuck with the wedding theme and butterflies but I tried something new to me on today's card. And let me tell you... I'm impressed. I used Viva Decor Modellier-Creme in the Champagne colour over a Prima stencil for the background. It looks ok on the first photo but on the second one you can see a bit of what it turns into when the light hits it in the right way. It's gorgeous! :) It really is like a cream very soft and smooth and it goes on like a dream. I don't regret getting this a few weeks ago at all. It's beautiful :)

Ostala sem pri poročnih temah in metuljih na današnji voščilnici, dodala pa sem ji novost. In resnično sem izjemno pozitivno presenečena. Uporabila sem Viva Decor Modellier-Creme v barvi Champagne preko Prima stencil šablone. Na prvi fotografiji zgleda čisto v redu, ampak šele na drugi se vidi kako zelo lepo se blešči ozadje z malo osvetlitve. Čudovito je. Je zelo mehka pasta, skoraj kot krema za roke in se z lahkoto nanese na karton. Prav gotovo mi ni žal, da sem nekaj tednov nazaj kupila tale mali kozarček :) 

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

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit konec tedna!

Work Time Wednesday # 28

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have a wedding card for you today where I used my Stabilo markers to colour flowers and leaves directly onto the stamp and stamped it after that. I also did some masking. I used a regular pencil to add some shadows on the flowers. Butterflies are silver embossed on some vellum. 

 Danes imam za vas poročno voščilnico, na kateri sem uporabila navadne Stabilo flomastre, s katerimi sem pobarvala štampiljko in jo nato odtisnila na voščilnico. Par cvetov sem morala tudi maskirati. Z navadno barvico sem dodala še nekaj senčenja na cvetovih. Metulji so embosirani s srebrnim prahom na paus papir. 

Stabilo markers did a great job. I think I will have to experiment some more, but it looks quite good in my oppinion. Thank you for coming over and have a great day :)

Flomastri so se precej dobro odrezali. No potrebno še malo eksperimentirati z njimi, ampak mislim, da končni rezultat ni tako slab. Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan :)

Work Time Wednesday # 22

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I have a last wedding card for now as a part of my Work Time Wednesday series. This is a layout that you have seen before, but I wanted to try and make my card a bit more vintage looking. I don't do vintage, I usually don't even like extreme vintage projects, but using light pink, white and brown colours this just seem to have a hint of vintage. 

Danes imam za vas zadnjo poročno voščilnico, ki e del sredinih objav. Takšno postavitev voščilnice ste pri meni že videli, po drugi strani pa se pri meni običajno ne vidi vintage sloga, ki sem ga nekako poskušala doseči. Ta slog mi ni blizu, prav tako mi njegove ekstremne variante pravzaprav sploh niso všeč, sem pa se z barvno kombinacijo svetlo roza, bele in rjave barve malce oddaljila od svojega vsakdanjega sloga in namignila na starinski slog. 

I had to finish with butterflies again because they are just perfect. They make everything much more romantic and soft.

Nekako je bilo nujno, da zaključim z metulji, ker so enostavno idealni za ustvarjanje romantičnega in lahkotnega efekta. 

Thank you for coming over and have a beautiful day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

Work Time Wednesday # 21

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have another wedding card today that got inspired by this one. I switched die cutting with punch and liquid glue with glue dots and this one was not so time consuming. Also it looks a lot more dimensional. 

Za vas imam ponovno poročno voščilnico, ki jo je navdihnila ta. Zamenjala sem izrezovanje s pomočjo hroščka in šablonic za luknjač, tekoče lepilo pa so zamenjale lepljive pikice, tako da je njena izdelava vzela precej manj časa. Pa tudi precej oblj 3D efekt je nastal. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Work Time Wednesday # 20

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

This is the card that you could see on Monday's photo. I coloured one of my favourite Hero Arts backgrounds with Distress Ink pads. It's a bright wedding card but you could adopt it to the colour scheme of the wedding if necessary. 

To je voščilnica, ki ste jo lahko delno videli na ponedeljkovi fotografiji. Uporabila sem enega izmed mojih najljubših Hero Arts ozadij in ga pobarvala z Distress barvnimi blazinicami. Barve so zelo močne, se pa jih brez težav prilagodi barvni shemi poroke.

And the sentiment says: Happily ever after. It's perfect. I like this label shape that I made using two different label shapes. This card is somehow simple but it's bright. 

Super pravljično voščilo sem odtisnila na malce nenavadno obliko, ki sem jo dobila z dvojnim rezanjem kartona z dvema različnima oblikama rezalnih šablon. Voščilnica je sicer preprosta ampak zelo barvita. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

Work Time Wednesday (on a Thursday again) # 19

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I had a crazy week so yesterday kind of slipped out of my mind. I'm sorry. It's a holiday in Slovenia today so I have time to catch up. Since we are in the middle of wedding season I thought I could dedicate a few Wednesdays to that topic. Today I have a butterfly die cut and embossing paste over pattern paper sample for you. Pattern paper has some glitter accents and I think embossing paste over it looks great and adds some dimension without adding the bulk. Congratulation die is from Najlepši par.

Še dobro, da je ta teden malo krajši kot običajen, ker je bila prva polovica povsem nora. Tako mi je včeraj nekako uspelo, da sem padla v posteljo brez objave na blogu. Še dobro, da je danes praznik, da lahko malo nadoknadim. Ker smo na sredini sezone porok, sem se odločila, da par objav posvetim tej temi. Danes imam za vas pripravljeno verzijo z izrezanimi metulji in embosirno pasto preko vzorčastega papirja. Papir ima nekaj bleščečih poudarkov, embosirna pasta pa neredi nekaj dimenzije brez dodane debeline. Efekt mi je zelo všeč. 

I love butterflies for wedding cards. What do you think?

Obožujem metulje na poročnih voščilnicah. Kaj pa se vam zdi? 

Have a great day and thank you for coming here even if it's a day late.

Želim vam super dan in hvala za obisk tudi ko je objava en dan prepozno.

Try It Out Thursday # 2

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

There was no Try It Out Thursday for some time, but I'm back with another experiment. I bought Ranger Sticky embossing powder to try and use it instead of Flitter glue by IndigoBlu for the Metallic Flakes. I used Flitter glue before and it's a bit messy and my stamps were sticky even after I cleaned them like you are supposed to. Sticky embossing powder sounds much easier so I tried it.

Že nekaj časa ni bili takšne objave v četrtek, ampak danes sem nazaj z manjšim eksperimentom. Kupila sem Ranger Sticky embosirni prah da bi ga uporabila namesto Flitter lepila, ki ga je IndigoBlu predvideval za uporabo z metalnimi lističi. Delo s tem lepilom se mi je zdelo malce preveč "lepljivo", saj so bile štampiljke lepljive še nekaj časa, čeprav sem jih očistila tako, kot je rečeno v navodilih. Lepljiv embosirni prah se mi je zdel malce manj zapleten, tako da sem želela poskusiti. 

 

I used Versamark and Sticky embossing powder like any other but when I heated it up it got sticky. I pressed the flakes on top of that and the rub it away with the sponge. The flakes are still a bit messy, but they stuck on top of the image. 

Prah sem uporabila tako kot vsak drug embosirni prah z Versamark blazinico. Ko sem ga segrela se je spremenil v lepljiv odtis na katerega sem pritisnila metalne lističe. Vse skupaj sem dobro zdrgnila z gobico, ki je namenjena temu. Lisiči so še vedno precej nadležni, saj je na koncu njihov prah povsod, ampak končni rezultat je vseeno zelo lep, tako da se splača. 

My thoughts? Sticky is convenient as far as cleaning your stamp goes and al the stickiness left behind, but I think that Flitter glue captures more detail and the surface is a bit uneven. Flakes still sparkle beautifully so I think it's a good alternative. I can't wait to try this with glitter.

Moje mnenje? Sticky prah je zelo priročen kar se tiče čiščenja štampiljk in ukvarjanja z lepljivimi pripomočki, je pa res, da Flitter lepilo ohrani več podrobnosti odtisa, površina odtisa pa je precej bolj gladka kot pri uporabi prahu. Lističi se še vedno zelo lepo bleščijo, tako da mislim, da je Sticky embosirni prah vseeno super alternativa lepilu. Preizkusiti ga bo potrebno še z bleščicami. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan.
