Spring Flowers

Hi! Janja here with you. Spring is not so close yet, but I can hardly expect to enjoy the warmth of sun rays and the smell of fresh spring flowers.
For today's post, I made a birthday card with spring flowers.


- CottageCutz dies: Spring Watering Can, Butterflies, Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set
- blank card: 4.4 x 5.6" (11,2 x 14,2 cm)
- patterned paper: 4.2 x 5.4" (10,7 x 13,8 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- vellum paper
- embossing powder - white
- clear embossing ink pad
- craft foam (fun foam)
- Distress Collage Medium - matte
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

I started making my card by die-cutting all the pieces for it. I added extra shading on the cutouts with colored ink pads.



I cut out two patterned papers and with foam mounted one on top of the other.
I cut out a strip from vellum paper and heat-embossed the sentiment. After that, I added Distress Collage Medium - matte only to the side edges and attached a vellum strip to the prepared background.




I finished the card by adding a butterfly.


A new Spring release is available at the online store. New dies are 25% off for a limited time.

Have a nice day.
Janja

Tree as symbol of growing and learning

Hi all! Vladka here with you again! 

Today I would like to show you, what I made for my very good friend. She lives in America now and she is a teacher to three years old kids. This is why she needed something to hang on the class door. And I came up with idea to create a tree, because for me it is symbol of growing, learning... So I made this one first. Tree´s ladder is created so, that it looks like inches. There is a lot of animals on the top of the tree and under it: butterflies, little bear and the bigger one, lion, bird, hedgehogs and owl. I added also leafs, grass, mushrooms, nest and birdhouse.


I made also another one with months on it. She will add children´s names on it. So they will  all  know when children have their birthdays. Both trees are cut out with scissors and all pieces are colored with Distress Ink. It is really cute, although it is pretty big.

My list of all used dies is today really long, but I really had fun to play with all this cute dies.

Orchid and butterfly

Hi, Vladka here. Another project where I found my inspiration in a photo. Here it is.

Background is made from blue and white acrylic paints and with some stamps. I used the same colours to colour the butterfly. Orchid is cut out from white cardstock with Fancy Orchid die and I leave it like this. White and blue, the colour combination which always reminds me on the sea. And just in time when you reading this, I´m on my way back home from my vacations
at the coast. 

I wish you great weekend!

Fancy Floral Corner and Buttreflies

Hi, Vladka here!This time I want to show you something more romantic. I think that Fancy Floral dies are perfect for those who love to create more romantic and gentle projects and are perfect accessories also for LO. I used two dies: Fancy Floral Corner #2 and Butterflies. I didn´t use a lot of colours on purpose, just white and cream.
For stamping on the background and for distressing I used Old Paper Distress Ink and this little heart I "steal" from Trellis and Vines die cut. So, this could be perfect card for some romantic soul or for wedding.

I´m sending you the best wishes from the Croatian coast, where I´m spending my vacation. Have a great day!

Album for newborn baby

Hi, Vladka here. Today I want to show you some pages from the scrapbook album for the newborn baby. Pages on the photos are not add to the book yet, because it is easier to photograph them so. :) These main pages separate the album into parts, which show some main events which happen in the baby´s first year. After every page is a space for photos and some sheets are added that some short stories or important dates can be written down.
Here is the front page with cute Furry Teddy Bear and white bird on the branch: 
I used another branch and second bird on the first inside page. I also put some grass there and between is a place for one photo, for example.
The next page which I want to present you is this one with Giraffe. I thought that this motive will be perfect symbol or metaphor for largeness.
Here is the last page which I will show you, but not the last one in the whole album. Little boy has 3 sisters and here is the place to add some sisters drawings. On this page I used following dies: Butterflies and Greenery.
It is always such fun to create something for babies or kids. I really enjoyed creating this!
