Christmas in July cards with Spellbinders

Hi all,

It has been a while but I am finally back with two Christmas projects featuring a brand new Spellbinders Classic Christmas release!

This is the first card I made:

For this card, I decided to go with a clean and simple look using a cute bird die cut, along with the 'Merry & bright' sentiment die. I used soft blue and green tones that remind me of calm winter days.

Next, I made this card:

In this case, I decided to go a bit bolder and chose a dark blue background. I stenciled the poinsettia using distress ink in red and green colors which I then die cut using its coordinating die. Next, I added 'Merry & bright' sentiment which I die cut using the dark blue paper. To finish the card off, I added some clear drops on the background.

Thank you so much for joining me! Hope that I will be able to make more cards in near future!

Hugs,

Kaja

Take a look at the card I have created:
Poglej voščilnico, ki sem jo jaz ustvarila:

I decided to make a simple card using the cute crocodile. I stamped it out along with a bunch of images and colored them in using alcohol markers. Once the coloring was done, I made the background using two blue inks. The last thing I added was the sentiment that reads Happy birthday.

Odločila sem se narediti preprosto voščilnico s prikupnim krokodilom. Njega in še nekaj stvari sem odtisnila na papir in jih nato pobarvala s pomočjo alkoholnih flomastrov. Ko je bilo barvanje končano, sem naredila še ozadje za katerega sem uporabila dve barvi distress blazinic. Zadnja stvar, ki sem jo dodala pa je bil napis Happy birthday.

Jane's Doodles new release blog hop & GIVEAWAY

Hi there,
It's time for Jane's Doodles new release blog hop! Jane has prepared one new stamp set that can already be found in the shop!
Živjo,
Čas je za Jane's Doodles blog hop ob novi izdaji štampiljk! Jane je pripravila en nov set, ki ga že lahko najdeš v trgovini!

Take a look at the card I have created:
Poglej voščilnico, ki sem jo jaz ustvarila:

This time around I decided to go with a clean and simple look with rainbow colors. I took the cups from the stamp set and stamp out seven of them, which I then colored in in the rainbow order. To get a look of a dimention, I added a black frame and used a square card base. I connected everything together by adding little hearts in the same colors as the cups and the card was finished in no time.

Tokrat sem se odločila za preprost dizajn v mavričnih barvah. Iz kompleta sem tako vzela skodelice in jih sedem postavila eno na drugo, nato pa sem jih pobarvala v mavričnem vrstnem redu. Da sem dobila nekaj globine, sem dodala še črn okvir in uporabila kvadratno osnovo. Vse skupaj sem nato povezala skupaj še z srčki v barvi skodelic in voščilnica je bila hitro končana.

GIVEAWAY:

If you want to have one of these stamps, or any other stamp set, you should join us and hop along. With every comment you get a chance to win a stamp set of your choice from Jane's doodles. If I were you I would be leaving those comments as soon as possible! :D

Rainbow hello - Mavrični pozdrav

Hi there,
Today I am back with a card using glimmer foils by Spellbiners!
Živjo,
Danes sem nazaj z česittko, na kateri uporabim Spellbindorseve svetleče folije!

Poglej:
Take a look:

I started making this card by foiling the circles in the brand new rainbow foil! Once the background was done I added the Hello in silver foil and added it in the center. This makes a simple but stricking card which is done in no time.

Izdelavo sem začela z dodajanjem krogov na ozadje za katere sem izbrala čisto novo mavrično folijo! Ko je bilo ozadje končano, sem dodala še napis 'Hello' s srebrno folijo in nato napis prilepila na sredino. Tako sem izdelala preprosto voščilnico, ki pa zaradi svojih barv vseeno pritegne pogled.

Hvala, da me spremljaš!

Foiled flowers - Rožice s folijo

Hi there,
Today I will show you an elegant card using Spellbinders foils that I just love! 
Živjo,
Danes ti bom pokazala eleganto čestitko na kateri uporabim Spellbinders folije, ki jih preprosto obožujem!

Take a look:
Poglej:

I started making this card by foiling the gorgeous florals using silver foil. I then colored the small images in using alkohol markers which gives a really nice touch to them. Once that was done, I added the sentiment in rose-gold and then I positioned everything on a square card base. So simple!

To voščilnico sem začela izdelovati z uporabo srebrne folije na nožku z rožicami. Na to, sem vse delčke slike pobarvala z alkoholnimi flomastri, kar da sami končni podobi res lep izgled. Ko je bilo to končano, sem dodala še roza-zlat napis in vse skupaj postavila na kvadratno čestitko. Tako preprosto!

Jane's Doodles new release blog hop & GIVEAWAY

Hi there,
It's time for Jane's Doodles new release blog hop! Jane has prepared 3 new stamp sets that can already be found in the shop!
Živjo,
Čas je za Jane's Doodles blog hop ob novi izdaji štampiljk! Jane je pripravila 2 nova seta, ki ju že lahko najdeš v trgovini!

Take a look at the card I have created:
Poglej voščilnico, ki sem jo jaz ustvarila:

This time around I decided to go with a clean and simple look. I took the gorgeous bus and colored it in using alcohol markers. Once that was finished, I added the background using blue and green marker. I made sure that the lines at the background are all parallel which tricks our eyes into thinking the bus is moving really fast.

Tokrat sem se odločila za preprosto voščilnico. Vzela sem prečudovit avtobus in sem ga pobarvala z alkoholnimi flomastri. Ko je bilo to končano, sem dodala še ozadje z modrim in zelenim markerjem. Poskrbela sem, da se vse črte vzporedne in vodorabne, kar pretenta naše oči, da mislijo da se vozilo dejansko premika.

Hi there,
It's Jane's 46th bithday today and we have prepared a Jane's doodles blog hop to celebrate it!
Živjo,
Danes je Janin 46. rojstni dan in v ta namen smo pripravile Jane's doodles blog hop!

Jane asked us to use our favorite stamps and I created this:

Jane nas je prosila, da danes uporabimo svoje najljubše štampiljke in jaz sem pripravila tole:

I was thinking about making a bithday card, but since Jane wanted us to use our favorite set I made a winter card. You all know that I just loooove cute animals, so I decided to create this fun wintery card that features my favorite stamp ever -- a critter driving a car.

Najprej sem razmišljala, da bi naredila rojstnodnevno čestitko, ampak ker je Jane želela, da uporabimo svoj najljubši set, sem na koncu naredila zimsko voščilnico. Vsi verjetno veste, da obožujem prikupne živalice in tokrat sem se zato odločila, da naredim prikupno voščilnico z mojo najljubšo štampiljko -- živalico v avtu.

Hi there,
It's my turn to post on Maker Forte blog and today I decided to use one of my favorite new products -- Marshmallow paste!
Živjo,
Danes sem jaz na vrsti za objavo na Maker Forte blogu in odločila sem se, da uporabim enega izmed mojih najljubših novih izdelkov -- Marshmallow pasto!

Kot lahko vidiš sem pasto uporabila na ozadju, potem pa sem z rdečimi toni odtisnila še glavno sliko, tako da se lepo poda z ozadjem. Moram reči, da je pasta res zabavna za uporabo in da jo moraš preiskusiti in videti kako lepo penasta nastane!
