Poletne lučke / Summer popsicles

Vem, da je še zima in da tudi po pomladi še nič kaj ne diši, ampak moja naslednja voščilnica je prav poletna. Morda pa bo pomagala pregnati te mrzle dni in sive oblake pri nas.
Digi štampiljko sladolednih lučk sem našla na blogu Melonheadz Illustrating. Lučke sem pobarvala s Promarkerji, za ozadje pa sem izbrala papir s potiskom besede "summer".

Ko pa smo že pri sladkem, vam pokažem še moje prve cake popse ali tortice na palčki, kot jim tudi pravijo. Moram priznati, da so mi na začetku delali kar nekaj težav, saj so kroglice padale s palčk oz. drsele po palčki navzdol. No, kljub temu, je natalo nekaj primerkov, primernih za slikanje. Delala pa sem po slednjem receptu s spleta.

I know it is still winter and that the spring does not seem to be near, but my next card is very summery. Maybe it will help to chase away the cold days and grey clouds around here.
I have found the digi stamp of the popsicles on the Melonheadz Illustrating blog. I coloured the image with Promarkers and for the background I used the design paper with the inscription "summer" all over it.

Since we talk about sweets, I will also show you the first cake pops I made. I have to admit I had quite some troubles at first, since the cake balls were falling off or sliding down the stick. Despite that, I managed to make a few specimens, suitable to appear on the photo. I followed this recipe for the cake pops.

Fantek je / It's a boy

Spodnji čestitki sem poslala dobrima prijateljicama ob rojstvu sinčkov. Obe sta narejeni na podoben način, na modri karirasti podlagi. 

Pri prvi sem kot osrednji motiv izbrala papirnato čipko, na katero sem nalepila plastičen motiv otroškega vozička. V zgornji kot sem dodala še nekaj perlic, spodaj pa sem poleg modre pentlje dodala napis, ki sem ga natisnila s pomočjo računalnika.

Pri drugi sem  na sredino položila papirnati izrezek otroškega vozička, ki sem ga rahlo okrasila s bleščicami, kar na fotografiji ni najbolj vidno. Napis na vrhu sem toplotno embosirala, kot dodatek pa zalepila še plastičen motiv slinčka in modro pentljico.

The following cards were sent to my very good friends when their sons were born. The cards are both designed in a similar way, based on the blue squared paper.

In the first card I put a paper lace in the middle, where I added a baby pushchair embellishment. I put a few rhinestones in the upper corner and a blue bow with a print 'congratulations' at the bottom.

For the second one, I used a paper pushchair cut and embellished it with glitter, although that is not visible well from the picture. I heat embossed the inscription on the top and embellished the card further with a bib motif and a blue bow.

Za zaljubljence / For lovers

Spodnja voščilnica je pravšnja za bližajoči se praznik zaljubljencev. Digi štampiljko sem našla na blogu Sylvia Zet, ter jo pobarvala s Promarkerji. Tokrat sem uporabila kar nekaj plasti različnih potiskanih papirjev in menim, da to da voščilnici tisto pravo "globino" in poudari glavni motiv.

The following card is perfect for the upcoming Valentine's day. I have found the digi stamp on Sylvia Zet's blog and coloured the image with Promarkers. This time I used several layers of patterned paper and I think it looks nice, as it accentuates the main theme.

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.
