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

Jane's birthday blog hop, 46% OFF & GIVEAWAY

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. 

GIVEAWAY:

Check the Jane's doodles blog for a chance to win an awesome giveaway. If I were you I would start leaving comments as soon as possible! :D

NAGRADNA IGRA:

Vellum poinsettia - Božična zvezda na pavs papirju

Hi there,
On todays card for Studio Katia I used a technique that I haven't used in a while. Can you guess which one?
Živjo,
Na današnji čestitki za Studio Katia bom uporabila tehniko, ki jo nisem že nekaj časa. Lahko ugotoviš katero?

Take a look at the card:
Poglej na čestitko:

If you guessed that the technique used was coloring on vellum you were right! I colored in the poinsettia trimmings using alcohol markers on vellum. For more details check out the SK blog!

Če si ugibala, da je to tehnika barvanja na paus papir si imela prav! Z alkoholnimi flomastri sem namreč pobarvala odtisek božične zvezde, ki je bil narejen na pavs papir. Za več podrobnosti pa obišči studio katia blog!

Ho-ho-ho Christmas! - ho-ho-ho Božič!

Hi there,
Today is a busyday for me since I am on many different blogs! In this post, I show you a Jane's doodles card!
Živjo,
Danes je zame kar zaposlen dan, saj lahko mojo objavo najdeš na kar nekaj blogih. Tokrat ti pokažem česitko z izdelki Jane's doodles!

Take a look:
Poglej:

I haven't used patterned paper in a while, so today I decided to use a simple Christmas one that has ho-ho-ho written all over it. In the center I created a cute scene with a deer and it's Christmas tree. :)

Že kar nekaj časa nisem uporabila potiskanega papirja, in tokrat sem se odločila, da naredim preprosto voščilnico s papirjem, ki ima vsepočes napisan ho-ho-ho. Na sredini pa sem naredila prikupno sceno z jelenčkom in njegovim drevescem.

Marshmallow paste - Marshmallow pasta

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!

Take a look at the card:
Poglej voščilnico:As you can see, I used the paste on the background and then I stamped the wintery scene in red tones that go nicely with the background. I must say that the paste is really fun to use and you should try and see how puffy it gets!
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!

Snowglobe - Snežena krogla

Hi there,
I am finally getting started with my Christmas cards and this one was made using Jane's Doddles goodies!
Živjo,
Končno sem se lotila letošnjih božičnih voščilnic in tokratna je bila narejena z uporabo Jane's Doddles izdelkov!

Take a look:
Poglej:



For this card, I decided to make a simple card with one focus image -- the snowglobe. I used alcohol makers for coloring the image and for the background I used a stencil along with the embosing paste.
Odločila sem se, da naredim preprosto voščilnico z enim glavnim motivom -- sneženo kroglo. Za barvanje odtiska sem uporabila alkoholne flomastre, za ozadje pa stencil šablono in belo embosirno pasto.

[Video] Simple and shiny - Preprosto in svetleče

Hi there,
It's time for another shiny card using the Kaleidoscope powders! This time I prepared a video for you to watch and learn about them. :)
Živjo,
Čas je za novo voščilnico na kateri uporabim svetleče prahce! Tokrat sem ti pripravila tudi video vodič, da si ga boš lahko ogledala in se naučila kaj o njih. :)

Take a look at the card:
Poglej voščilnico:

The card looks really simple, but when you face it towards the light it reveals it's main atributte -- shine! Watch the video to learn more about it:

Voščilnica zgleda zelo preprosta, ampak ko jo obrneš proti svetlobi pa razkrije svojo najbolj pomembno lastnost -- lesk! Poglej video, da vidiš kako sem ga dosegla:

This is another card I made in the same style:

Kaleidoscope Powder! - Kalejdoskop prahec!

Hi there,
It has been a while since my last post on the blog, but I am back with a great news -- I am joining the Maker Forte design team!
Živjo,
Že kar nekaj časa je minilo od moje zadnje objave na blogu, ampak danes sem nazaj z super novico -- Pridružila sem se Maker Forte ustvarjalnemu timu!

Take a look at my card:
Poglej mojo voščilnico:

Today, I tried a new to me product - Kaleidoscope powder! I decided to use it as a watercolor and colored in the poinsetia flower using it. The powder added a beautiful shimmer to the colored image which drags so much attention to it that I just can't stop looking at it. Please stop by the Maker Forte blog to see all the details regarding this card!

Danes sem preizkusila meni nov produkt - Kalejdoskop prahec! Odločila sem se, da ga uporabim kot akvarelno barvo in z njim pobarvala božično zvezdo. Prahec doda sliki prečudovit lesk, ki sliki doda tisto piko na i, da jaz kar ne moram nehati gledati vanj. Če želiš izvedeti več o te voščilnici skoči še na Maker Forte blog!

Happy snowmen - Veseli snežaki

Hi there,
Few days ago Studio Katia release an awesome new release and I just couldn't resist making a cute Christmas card with it!
Živjo,
Nekaj dni nazaj je Studio Katia izdala novo izdajo štampiljk in šablon in nisem se mogla upreti, da ne bi naredila te prikupne božične voščilnice.

Take a look:
Poglej:

I decided to use masking and ink blending techniques to make a super easy but fun card! I used a lot of blues and grays on this card.
Odločila sem se uporabiti maskiranje in pa tehniko senčenja, ter sem tako naredila super preprosto, a zabavno voščilnico! Uporabila sem kar nekaj modrih odtenkov in nekaj sive.
