A Pocketful of Stamps

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!

A Blog Named Hero: Use Your Favourite Hero Arts Product # 2

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

There is a challenge going on at A Blog Named Hero and you have until April 10th to use your favourite Hero Arts Product any share to win a gift certificate to Hero Arts Store.

I used my favourite stamp from Hero Arts called Leafy Vines (again) with Versa Mark and purple Perfect Pearls over a purple and white cardstock. I combined it with a Butterfly Confetti Fancy Die and made two cards switching die cut butterflies and making a few of them "fly". Sentiments are from Come Fly With Me stamp set. If you are wondering about size of my card base - I use mostly A6 card bases that are a bit taller and a bit skinnier from a standard A2 (US letter size) card base. Butterfly die is A2 size but I don't mind the border for this two cards.

Uporabila sem mojo najljubšo Hero Arts štampiljko Leafy Vines (ponovno) z Versa Mark blazinico in vijoličnim Perfect Pearls na belem in vijoličnem kartonu. Vse skupaj sem dvakrat izrezala z Butterfly Confetti Fancy Die in naredila dve voščilnici z zamenjavo metuljev med katerimi jih nekaj tudi "leti". Voščila so iz seta Come Fly With Me. Ta rezalna šablona je narejena za A2 velikost osnove, kar je standardna velikost v Ameriki, jaz pa večinoma uporabljam A6 osnove, ki so malce višje in malenkost ožje od ameriške variante. Na teh dveh voščilnicah me malce roba prav nič ne moti.

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

Easter Time # 4

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

Today I have three classic designs for Easter cards - eggs hidden in the grass. Add a few flowers and butterflies and we have a winner :)

Danes imam za vas tri klasične velikonočne voščilnice - pirhi skriti v travi. Dodajmo še par rožic in metuljev, pa smo zmagali :)

The last one is a more liberal interpretation when a piece of flower pattern paper represents the grass.

Zadnja voščilnica predstavlja malo bolj svobodno interpretacijo trave, saj jo predstavlja trak vzorčastega papirja z rožicami.

What kind of card design is your favourite classic Easter card? Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Kakšna pa je vaša najljubša klasična velikonočna voščilnica? Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

I'm adding the second card into Simon Says Anything Goes Wednesday challenge and gallery over at Najlepši par.

Easter Time # 3

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I have a few more Easter cards to share and I just love these two. I can't wait for Spring to come (sun, green and flowers) and these two make me feel like it's here already :)

Na zalogi imam še par velikonočnih voščilnic in današnji dve sta mi še posebej pri srcu. Komaj čakam, da se pomlad razbohoti tako, kot je treba (sonce, zelena in cvetje) in ti dve voščilnici mi data občutek, da je pomlad že tu :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

A Blog Named Hero: Use Your Favourite Hero Arts Product

Na A Blog Named Hero poteka izziv in časa imate do 10ega aprila, da uporabite svoj najljubši Hero Arts izdelek in ga delite, saj imate dve možnosti za osvojitev darilnega bona za Hero Arts spletno trgovino.

I used my favourite stamp of all time from Hero Arts called Leafy Vines. I had to get it the moment it came to the stores and I still use it all the time. I also used two of my favourite Shadow inks - Cornflower and Pale Tomato and a die from December 2017 Add-on collection called Filigree Border Fancy Die (and it is super fancy and beautiful).

Uporabila sem mojo najljubšo Hero Arts štampiljko Leafy Vines. Morala sem jo kupiti takoj, ko je prišla v trgovine in še vedno jo uporabljam ves čas. Uporabila sem tudi dve najljubši barvi Shadow blazinic - Cornflower in Pale Tomato, zraven pa še rezalno šablono, ki je del dodatkov pri decembrskem My Monthly Hero kompletu, ki se imenuje Filigree Border Fancy Die (zelo "fensi" in preprosto lepa).

I pressed Hero Arts Silver ink pad on a piece of cardstock and added some Perfect Pearls powder over the top and then die cut the Filigree Border Fancy Die. When I pilled the border off my die cutting plate all the left over pieces just caught my eye and I couldn't throw them out. I used the negative parts of this die on a second card (except for a few tiny pieces that I lost before I decided to use them up). I added the sentiments from two stamp sets (Come Fly With Me and Color Layering Hydrangea), a few butterflies and some black splatter to finish both cards.

Na kos kartona sem pritisnila Hero Arts Silver blazinico in preko nje nanesla še nekaj Perfect Pearls prahu. Iz tega sem izrezala Filigree Border Fancy Die in ko sem jo odstranila z rezalne plošče, so ostali čudoviti koščki, ki bi sicer romali v smeti, pa sem jih raje uporabila na drugi voščilnici (razen par majhnih, ki sem jih izgubila še preden sem se odločila uporabiti tudi negativen del izreza). Voščili sta iz dveh setov štampiljk (Come Fly With Me in Color Layering Hydrangea), dodala sem še par metuljev in nekaj črnih pack.
