Enjoying the Challenges

Yesterday I got some happy mail. Two of my projects were accepted for the publication in the Paper Crafts Magazine. Today I was playing around with my supplies and warming up for another submission call. I used several Challenges to create today’s projects.
This one is inspired by the colors from Runway Inspired Challenge, and the sketch I took from the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.
And here is my second card. I played with some Spellbinders Dies, some ribbon, Want 2 Scrap Pearls and stamps.
The second card is linked at these challenges: The Play Date Cafe, Sister Act Card Challenge, Freshly Made Sketches, and Sweet Stampin’ Challenge.

Time for some special wedding cards

Yes, it is that time again. I have some orders for wedding cards and I have decided to share some of them with you. For this one I used some ivory paper, ivory ribbon (and made a big butterfly with it), brown Want 2 Scrap bling, Spellbinders Dies and Flourishes stamp.

The sketch I took from Flourishes Challenge.

Enjoying the Challenges

Hello, hello! Here I am again. I was relaxing and made two projects. So, let me start with the first one. A decorated notebook. I used just one layer of paper, some inks and Hero arts stamps. The Spellbinders Tag is empty for the owner to write a name or something else. I love how bright it ended up. It is inspired by CASE Study Challenge and Hero Arts Challenge.
And my second project is a clean and simple crazy fancy schmancy card. 🙂
This one is inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger (I took the colors), CAS(e) this sketch and CAS-ual Fridays.

Finally here

Hello! I am finally here! 🙂 These days I had so much work and was often out of the home that I just had the time to finish some of my Paper Crafts Magazine Submission projects. But, today I made this card with a help from several different challenges (see the links at the bottom of the post).
The Ribbon Reel Challenge, Want2Scrap, Simon Says Stamp, Retro Sketches (#34).

White Doilies

Hello there! Yesterday I had some time to make this card and a matching box. Actually, I could not sleep for some reason so I made this. It was not easy and a lot of things I had to do twice, but at the end I was satisfied with it. I used Waltzingmouse challenge as my main inspiration when it comes to the theme – doilies.
I like doilies a lot, and lace too. 🙂 I decided to stamp with Watermark Ink so that my details would be subdued. I used Dainty Doilies set (on the bottom of the box, and another piece on the My Mind’s Eye paper) and a piece of Ornate Ornaments set (on the leaves).
The color inspiration came from the Simon Says Stamp Challenge. It was quite fun to create a project that is completely white. I also used a bunch of Spellbinders Dies, and some Want 2 Scrap bling.
Well, I hope you like my project. Thank you for visiting and for all the lovely comments.

Masquerade

These days we have a lot of carnivals all around our country and I thing not only the kids enjoy it. I am not a grat fan of it but since recently I visited a kids’ home near our city, they asked me to prepare a workshop for kids related to the masquerade. So, lookin gat my Spellbinders Dies I realized we could have a lot of fun making masks. I lost the photo of the first mask I have made and left at the kids’ home, so I decided to make another one.

It took me some time to shake off the idea of making something inspired with a peacock, so I finally decided to use this Waltzingmouse challenge as an inspiration. I stamped this cute little stamp in several different colors and used Want 2 Scrap blings. I love them since, as you can see on my project, you can use every single stone. Nothing is waisted. I had some leftovers from my previous projects where I used the parts of those blings, and decided to use the rest of it for my mask.

All white with a bit of grey

Yesterday I finally made a card. Somehow these days I do not make a lot of cards and I feel like my ideas are all gone. A lot of changes are happening in my life and maybe I am just trying to survive it all. I know that in one of my recent posts I wrote how I will make a card for the Spellbinders contest at the very end, but today I changed my mind. I was relaxing yesterday and made this white card with just a bit of grey colors. These are the Spellbinders products I have used: Scalloped Circles Large, Foliage, Labels 11 and M-bossabilities folder.
I also used some of my new sentiments in Croatian language. These years I used mostly simple Croatian sentiments and I believe that it is time for some change. The second stamp set I showed recently had some text dividers and the third set that I will show today has some big and complex sentiments (for this card I have used a part of the fourth set too). I played a bit more with them to show you some of the things you can make with them.
Well I hope you like the card and this new stamp set in Croatian language. Thank you for stopping by today.

The card is linked at the following challenges: Crafty Friends and Spellbinders Contest.

Best Wishes

Yesterday before I wend to bed I received a nice email from Susan Opel and Paper Crafts Magazine Team. They liked a set of cards I have made. While I was hoping and waiting for that email, I made this CAS card. I really enjoyed making it since I used a couple of inks and colored the paper with them. Then I used a darker blue ink to stamp the snowflakes.

After the weekend/Nakon vikenda

After the workshops I had during the weekend in West Gate Shopping City, I decided to share a photo and some cards with you. Well, we enjoyed every day we were there and I believe the kids had fun too. We were also selling cards for ‘The Traveler‘ organization. A big hit were liquid pearls that you can buy in Megacolor Shop in Zagreb. Kids just loved them. Everything was covered with pearls (the table too). 😉
[Nakon radionica koje sam imala tijekom vikenda u West Gate Shopping Centru odlučila sam s vama podijeliti jednu fotku i neke karte. Uživali smo oba dana u centru, a vjerujem da je i djeci bilo lijepo. Prodavali smo i karte za Udrugu PUTNIK. Najveći hit su bili tekući biseri koje možete kupiti u Megacolor trgovini u Zagrebu. Djeca su jednostavno uživala u njima. Sve je bilo prekriveno biserima (i stol također). 😉]
The second day I had some time and I made these two projects. The first card is made on the basis of the Flourishes Sketch.
[Drugi dan sam imala malo više vremena pa sam završila ova dva projekta. Prvi je karta napravljena na temelju Flourishes nacrta.]

The second card goes together with a box instead of an envelope, and it is inspired by Embellish Challenge. [A druga karta ide zajedno s odgovarajućom kutijicom i inspirirana je Embellish izazovom.]

TCM Blog Hop
