Superman

Spodnjo voščilnico sem izdelala za bratranca, najstnika. Tokrat sem se prvič preizkusila v barvanju ozadja iz dveh odtenkov. Moram priznati, da mi ni šlo najbolje od rok, a k s sreči so napake prekrite in za prvič bo kar ok. Osrednji motiv sem našla na strani Free Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps in ga pobarvala s Promarkerji. Da pa bo vse usklajeno, sem poleg napisa, v ozadnju naredila še mavrico, sestavljeno iz polnila za tresočke.

I made the following card for my teenager cousin. This is the first time I tried to make my own background using two shades of colour. I have to admit that I was not very successful, but luckily all the mistakes are hidden and for the first attempt it should be ok. I have found the main motif on Free Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps and coloured it with Promarkers. To be in line with the inscription (Let the rainbow glow every day for you), I made a little rainbow using the parts of the shaker card fill.

Voščilnica iz ostankov / Card from leftovers

Spadam me tiste ljudi, ki ničesar ne vržejo stran, zato imam v mojem ustvarjalnem skladišču številne odrezke raznih papirjev, trakcev...
Spodnja voščilnica predstavlja idejo za uporabo majhnih kosov potiskanega papirja.

I am one of those people, that never throw anything away. Therefore, I have many patterned paper cuttings, ribbon parts... in my crafting store.
The following card presents an idea how to use little patterned paper pieces.

Za mamo / For mum

Zadnjič sem obiskala lokalno trgovinico z umetniškim materialom. "Da vidim kaj imajo", sem si rekla. Na moje presenečenje so imeli konkretno znižanje na številne rezalne šablone. Posledično sem vsa vesela prišla domov s kupom novih pripomočkov. Dve rezalni šabloni pa sem uporabila tudi na spodnji voščilnici, ki sem jo poslala mami za rojstni dan.

P.S.: Še vedno lahko sodelujete v žrebanju za bonbončka na moji strani.

A few weeks ago I visited a local crafting shop. "To see what they have", I said. To my surprise they had a massive sale on several cutting stencils. Consequently I returned home all happy, full of new stuff. I used two of the new cutting stencils also on the following card, which I sent to my mum for her birthday.

P.S.: You can still participate in the candy draw on my page.

Novosti in bonbončka / Newness and candies

Dragi soustvarjalci in vsi tisti, ki radi pokukate na moj blog. Zadnje pol leta je le-ta malce sameval, zaradi številnih drugih obveznostih. Kljub temu, so zadnji meseci prinesli kar nekaj lepih novosti. Selitev v drugo državo in večje stanovanje mi je omogočilo, da imam po dolgem času čisto svoj ustvarjalni kotiček. Sedaj torej moje ustvarjanje ne bo zgolj kampanjsko ob počitnicah, ko sem se vračala na dopust v Slovenijo. Poleg tega imam z novim letom novo grafično podobo, nov spletni naslov in tudi stran na Facebooku.

To veselje bi rada delila tudi z vami, zato sem pripravila dva majhna bonbončka, ki vsebujeta nekaj uporabnih materialov za ustvarjanje. Za nagrado se potegujete tako, da spodaj komentirate to objavo. Hvaležna bom tudi, če informacijo o bonbončkih delite med druge ustvarjalce.

Bonbonček 1 vsebuje:
- paket majhnih rezalnih šablonic,
- paket samolepilnih svetlečih kamenčkov in
- paket okrasnih razcepkov.

Bonbonček 2 vsebuje:
- blok z 32 pisanimi kartončki,
- paket lesenih okraskov in
- paket pisanih gumbov.

Žrebanje bo 14.2.2017.

Dear co-crafters and all of you who enjoy visiting my blog. Lately it was very quiet around here, due to many obligations I had. However, the past few months brought some good news. Moving to another country and into a bigger flat enabled me to have my very own crafting space. Now my crafting won't be limited only to holidays, when I visited Slovenia. Moreover, I also have a new graphic image, new web address and a Facebook page.

I would like to spread this happiness with you, therefore I prepared two little candies with various crafting materials. To take part in the drawing, simply comment this post. I would also be grateful if you spread the news about the candies to other crafters.

Candy 1 includes:
- cutting dies,
- rhinestones and
- brads.

Candy 2 includes:
- 32 sheets of cardboard patterns,
- wooden embellishments and
- printed buttons.

The draw will take part on 14th February 2017.

Pomladni vrt / Spring garden

To voščilnico sem naredila že dolgo časa nazaj. Za zgornji del ozadja sem uporabila pikčasto embosiran papir, v spodnjem delu pa zelen črtast papir. V sredino vsakega cveta sem dodala gumb, stebla pa sem narisala s pomočjo 3D linerja.

I made this card a long time ago. I used embossed paper with dots on the top and green striped paper on the bottom. In the centre of the flowers I added buttons and I draw the stems using 3D liner.

Enostavna prepognjenka / Simple folded card

To voščilnico sem poslala teti za rojstni dan. Idejo o zavihanem papirju sem našla na Pinterestu - še lepše pride do izraza, če ima papir različen vzorec na vsaki strani. Dodala sem še nekaj okraskov in to je bilo to.

I sent this card to my aunt for her birthday. I found the idea of the folded paper on Pinterest - and the effect is much nicer if you use the paper with different patterns on each side. I just added a few embellishments and that was it.
