Flamingo card – crafting with 3D stickers

Hello again,

Today I wanted to show you a simple card I made using Doodlebug products. I must admit that I am in love with stickers, I used to collect them as a kid also. I have a full box of them, but hardly every use them on cards. Rather for the kiddos, albums or envelopes. Today I tried to make a card without any stamping – double challenge 😀

20160725_083237 wm

I used a piece of patterned paper from the lovely Doodlebug paper pad Fun in the sun, I cut it to cover 2/3 of the card front, together with a tiny strip of green cardstock. I used the rounded tag die from Clearly besotted and die cut it 2 times: one white and one blue. I placed the flamingo sticker from Doodlebug on the white tag, added a frame with 2 tiny strips of pink glitter cardstock and mounted them on the card front with 3d foam tape. A bit of Doodlebug twine and a small blue ribbon finished of the image part.

20160725_083257 wm

The sentiment is a Mama Elephant die – cut from black cardstock – to keep it simple.

This project will still go on the SSS Wednesday Challenge Things with wings, in the last moment 🙂

I hope I inspired you to use stickers on your cards and you will return soon  for more inspiration.

Have a nice day,

Sziasztok!

Ma egy egyszerƱ lapot hoztam nektek, amit egyik kedvenc gyĂĄrtĂłm, a Doodlebug termĂ©keivel kĂ©szĂ­tettem. Be kell vallanom, hogy gyerekkorom Ăłta imĂĄdom a matricĂĄkat, mindig is gyƱjtöttem Ƒket. Egy egĂ©sz doboznyi van belƑlĂŒk, de szinte soa nem hasznĂĄlom fel Ƒket, maximum albumokban, borĂ­tĂ©kok dĂ­szĂ­tĂ©sĂ©re vagy a gyerekeknek adom. A mai kĂ©peslapom dupla kihĂ­vĂĄs volt, mert mĂ©g csak nem is pecsĂ©teltem semmit 😀

20160725_083237 wm

ElƑször is egy mintĂĄs papĂ­rt vĂĄgtam mĂ©retre Ășgy, hogy a fehĂ©r kĂ©peslap alapom 2/3-ĂĄt fedje be. Egy vĂ©kony zöld papĂ­rcsĂ­kot ragasztottam a szĂ©lĂ©re. egy legömbölyĂ­tett ajĂĄndĂ©kkĂ­sĂ©rƑ sablonnal 2 tag-et vĂĄgtam, egy fehĂ©ret Ă©s egy kĂ©ket. A flamingo 3D matricĂĄmat a fehĂ©r alapra ragasztottam, Ă©s 2 vĂ©kony csĂ­kot vĂĄgtam rĂłzsaszĂ­n glitteres papĂ­rbĂłl, ami keretet adott a madĂĄrkĂĄmnak. MĂĄr csak egy kis Doodlebug pĂ©kzsineg, Ă©s egy pici kĂ©k masni kellett a befejezĂ©shez.

A feliratot egy Mama Elephant sablonnal vågtam fekete kartonból az egyszerƱség kedvéért.

Remélem tetszik és ti is megpróbåljåtok a képeslapkészítést 3D matricåk felhasznålåsåval.

Hamarosan Ășjra jelentkezem valami inspirĂĄlĂł ötlettel, nĂ©zz be hozzĂĄm megint!

Szép napot!

Butterflies card set with Altenew

Hello again,

I promised to be back soon with a more cheerful post, I just couldn’t do only sympathy cards with my favourite Altenew set, I had to use it once more…actually another 4 times 😀

20160723_170600 wm

I made a card set, the images and layout is almost the same, even the embellishments. I just used different colours of Shinhan markers, different patterned paper and ribbon. All the sentiments are from Clearly Besotted, splatters from an MFT stamp set.

Sziasztok!

Ez egy rövid bejegyzĂ©s, de nem tudtam megĂĄllni, hogy a  kedvenc Altenew lepkĂ©s nyomdĂĄimat ne hasznĂĄljam valami vidĂĄm dologra is (az elƑzƑ posztom rĂ©szvĂ©tnyilvĂĄnĂ­tĂł laprĂłl szĂłlt). De egy lap nem lap, Ă­gy kĂ©szĂ­tettem inkĂĄbb egy 4 darabos kĂ©szletet 😀

20160723_170600 wm

Szinte minden ugyanaz, az elrendezĂ©s, a kĂ©pek, amiket a nyomdakĂ©szletbƑl hasznĂĄltam, az epoxy pöttyök..csak a szĂ­nek mĂĄsok (Shinhan alkoholos filceket hasznĂĄltam ismĂ©t). És a mintĂĄs papĂ­r, az alĂĄtĂ©t karton Ă©s a szalag/csipke, ami kĂŒlönbözƑ.

Nektek melyik tetszik a legjobban? Nekem a kĂ©k a kedvencem. A lĂĄnyomnak is 😀

Köszönöm, hogy benĂ©ztetek, gyertek Ășjra.

Mermaid home decor

Hello,

I am back again with a fun project which is not a card 😀

20160725_082830 wm

A few days ago we bought a colouring puzzle for my kids and as I love to recycle, I couldn’t throw the packaging away. I had a white shadow box style frame from IKEA, I just had to cut the window slightly bigger to show more of my background. Then I stamped all the mermaids and almost all the accessories from The Greeting Farm Mermaids stamp set, coloured them with alcohol markers and cut them out with the matching dies.

20160725_083029 wm

20160725_083014 wm

20160725_083007 wm

I mounted them on my recycled background with foam tape/regular adhesive and my sweet summer home dĂ©cor is ready. It will go on the wall of the kids’ room.

I hope you like it.

I will play along with this creation on the SSS Monday Challenge blog (Nautical/By the sea).

Sziasztok!

Egy ĂșjrahasznosĂ­tĂłs home dekor projektet hoztam nektek, nem kĂ©peslapot 🙂

20160725_082830 wm

A napokban valamelyik diszkont boltban vettĂŒnk egy kiszĂ­nezhetƑ kirakĂłt a gyerekeknek, annak a hĂĄtterĂ©t akartam felhasznĂĄlni. Volt egy IKEÁ-s keretem, ennek az ablakĂĄt kellett egy sniccerrel nagyobbra vĂĄgnom, hogy több lĂĄtszĂłdjon a hĂĄttĂ©rbƑl. A The Greeting Farm SellƑ nyomdĂĄit Ă©s vĂĄgĂłsablonjait hasznĂĄltam, Shinhan alkoholos filcekkel szĂ­neztem. Felragasztotttam Ƒket 3d/sima ragasztĂłval Ă©s kĂ©sz.

RemĂ©lem inspirĂĄltalak, Ă©s Ti is kĂ©szĂ­tetek vmi dekorĂĄciĂłt ĂșjrahasznosĂ­tott csomagolĂłanyagokbĂłl. DuplĂĄn jĂł Ă©rzĂ©s 😀

Butterfly simpathy cards

Hello,

Today’s post is a sad topic, unfortunately a relative of my mum passed away and I had to make a sympathy card. I made it only once before, thanks God I am not experienced in this. All I knew is that I wanted butterflies on my cards (I made one in Hungarian and one in English, so she can choose the best for the recipient).

simpathy card collage

The Painted Butterflies set from Altenew is my all time favourite, I love how delicate and soft the images are.

20160723_170311 wm

For my first card I used only the outline image, stamped it on a die cut panel leaving space for the sentiment, which is from Clearly Besotted. I coloured with grey Shinhan markers to get a monochrome look. The splatters I added with an MFT stamp, I am a control freak 😀

20160723_170250 wm

A bit of Wink of Stella clear shimmer, a black glitter pen, few silver glitter enamel dots and a thin silk ribbon piece on 2 corners were all the embellishment I added. I mounted this on a slightly bigger black cardstock to get a thin black frame. My card base is black this time, with a beautiful glitter paper from DCVW.

20160723_170225 wm

The second card was heavily inspired by Amanda Korotkova (this card), I stamped my butterflies on a cross-stitched die cut Bristol Smooth cardstock piece using Archival Jet Black ink, so I could colour with my Zig Real Brush pens.

20160723_170416 wm

20160723_170427 wm

The same embellishments as above, just this time I directly mounted this on a black card base. The sentiment I printed from a simple word document and mounted with 3D foam tape.

20160723_170437 wm

That is all for now, but I will come back with a more cheerful post soon with the same butterflies.

Have a lovely weekend,

Zsofi

PS: I just saw that this card would match the SSS Wednesday Challenge Things with Wings, so I am uploading it here.

Oceans of love – coloured glitter paste with stencil

Hello,

The weather is so lovely warm again here, and I thought a little cooling is needed so I made an ocean scene for my next card. It is also because I wanted to play along with the new SSS Monday Challenge Nautical/By the sea.

20160720_161708 wm

I grabbed a piece of watercolour cardstock and using various distress inks and a SSS Wave stencil, I made a layer of ocean. After it was done I shifted the stencil slightly and applied Bo Bunny glitter paste all over, which was coloured with the blues and greens I used before (colouring glitter paste is easy, I just put some of the distress ink on my craft sheet and mixed it with the paste using my palette knife). I set it aside to dry overnight and cut it with a stitched rectangle die from SSS. If the paste is totally dry, it is safe to cut with the Big Shot, it will not get ruined by the pressure – at least it worked well for me.

20160720_161727_001 wm

Meanwhile I stamped one of the new The Greeting Farm Mermaids on Bristol Smooth cardstock  with Archival Jet black ink, and coloured with Zig markers. I am still new to these markers but they are so fun and the colours are amazing! I used a water brush to lighten up some areas. As there are no coordinating dies for this lovely stamp, I had to fussy cut it out – the most difficult part for me, I really don’t like to fussy cut 😀 When it was done, I used a black marker to colour the edges of my cut image in order to look perfectly cut.

20160720_161747 cut

I was thinking a lot how to build a scene in a way that the gorgeous shimmer of the background is still showing well enough. In the end I decided to cut a fishtail banner (MFT), stamp the sentiment partly from another The Greeting Farm set and place a triple die cut word above (SSS).

20160720_161823 wm

And of course I couldn’t resist, I had to add some glossy accents on the shell, the beads and the top of the mermaid, and tiny Wink of Stella on Ariel’s hair. When it was ready, my daughter came to me and whispered in my ear: “Mummy, for whom you made this card?” I asked her: “Do you like it?” Her beautifully innocent eyes filled with sparkle when she nodded. She knew already that it is for her 😀

20160720_161808_001 wm

I wish you like my card  and will try to use coloured glitter paste with stencil. It is fun and the result looks great!

Sziasztok!

A mai gyönyörƱ nyĂĄri napra egy kis hƱsĂ­tƑ, tengeri inspirĂĄciĂłt hoztam. A sellƑk manapsĂĄg nagyon divatosak, Ă©s ez a nyomda nagyon megtetszett a The Greeting Farm-tĂłl. De elƑször is a hĂĄttĂ©r elkĂ©sztĂ©sĂ©t mutatom be nektek.

20160720_161711 wm

Egy kĂ©peslap mĂ©retƱ akvarell papĂ­rt stencileztem kĂ©k Ă©s zöldes ĂĄrnyalatĂș distress tintĂĄkkal (SSS Wave stencil), majd ugyanezt a stencilt kicsit elcsĂșsztattam Ă©s Ășjra stencileztem, de ezĂșttal ĂĄttetszƑ BoBunny csillĂĄmpasztĂĄval, amihez hozzĂĄkevertem az elsƑ körben hasznĂĄlt distress tintĂĄkat. Ez nagyon egyszerƱ, csak egy laminĂĄlt lap, vagy craft mat kell hozzĂĄ, erre nyomom rĂĄ a tintapĂĄrnĂĄt, hogy kinyerjem a tintĂĄt belƑle. Ehhez egy mƱanyag spatula segĂ­tsĂ©gĂ©vel hozzĂĄkeverem a pasztĂĄt Ă©s rĂĄsimĂ­tom a stencilre. Amint az egĂ©szet befedtem a kĂŒlönbözƑ szĂ­nƱre szĂ­nezett pasztĂĄval, gyorsan leveszem a stencilt Ă©s csap alĂĄ tartva azonnal lemosom, mielƑtt a paszta rĂĄszĂĄradna. A stencilezett felĂŒletet hagyom egy Ă©jszakĂĄt szĂĄradni (nem kell ennyi idƑ neki, de biztosra akartam menni).

A kis hableĂĄnyt Bristol Smooth papĂ­rra pecsĂ©teltem (Pantonban kaphatĂł) Archival Jet Black tintĂĄval, mert ez vĂ­zĂĄllĂł tinta. ZIG clean color real brush filcekkel szĂ­neztem (Amazon-on jĂł ĂĄron hozzĂĄ lehet jutni), nĂ©hol egy vizes ecsettel halvĂĄnyĂ­tva a szĂ­neket. VĂ©gĂŒl ollĂłval körbevĂĄgtam Ă©s a szĂ©leket ĂĄthĂșztam egy fekete filccel, hogy eltĂŒntessem a vĂĄgĂĄs egyenetlensĂ©geit.

Sokat gondolkodtam, hogyan Ă©pĂ­tsem fel a kĂ©pet, hogy a hĂĄtteret ne nyomjam el. VĂ©gĂŒl is csak egy egyszerƱ zĂĄszlĂłsablonnal vĂĄgtam egy homokszĂ­nƱ papĂ­rt, erre pecsĂ©teltem rĂĄ a feliratot fekete tintĂĄval, fölĂ© pedig egy 3x kivĂĄgott Ă©s összeragasztott felirat kerĂŒlt (SSS). Ugyan a hĂĄtterem is csillogĂł, de azĂ©rt nem tudtam megĂĄllni, hogy egy kis glossy accent-tel hangsĂșlyozzak pĂĄr rĂ©szletet Ă©s Ariel hajĂĄra is kerĂŒlt egy pici Wink of Stella csillĂĄm 🙂

RemĂ©lem tetszik a lapom Ă©s ti is kiprĂłbĂĄljĂĄtok a stencilezĂ©st szĂ­nezett csillĂĄmpasztĂĄval. Az eredmĂ©ny nagyon kĂŒlönleges. A kislĂĄnyom el is kĂ©rte finoman ezt a kĂ©peslapot, amit nagy örömmel adtam neki 😀

Hamarosan Ășjra jelentkezem,

Addig is szép nyarat!

Hooray it’s your birthday!

Hello again,

This post is for my niece, Mai in Cairo – made with love, for you my dear 🙂 Happy birthday princess!

Today I brought a relatively simple birthday card for cat-lovers, featuring Newton’s Nook stamps. I stamped the kitty with the balloon on smooth white cardstock, coloured with Shinhan alcohol markers and fussy cut it out, together with the party hat. I die cut an MFT cloud cover up die from white cardstock and a Hooray sentiment die from Mama Elephant. I sponged some blue die ink on the die-cut word.

20160718_153336 wm

For my background I used a patterned paper from my stash which looks like the sky, I die cut a scalloped rectangle mat (Mama Elephant) from blue cardstock and a skinny red frame with a SSS die. I adhered everything with liquid glue, popped up the cat with 3D foam tape, and led a silver string from the balloon through the loops of die cut word.

20160718_153410 wm

I stamped a sentiment in black ink under the Hooray. A few clear sequins from PPP, a bit of shimmer with my Wink of Stella and a huge amount of glossy accent on the balloon finished off my card.

20160718_153435 wm

I am participating with this card in the SSS Wednesday Challenge Create a scene.

Sziasztok!

Ezt a lapot KairĂłban Ă©lƑ unokahĂșgomnak kĂ©szĂ­tettem a szĂŒletĂ©snapjĂĄra. Egy Newton’s Nook nyomdakĂ©szletet hasznĂĄltam, fekete tintĂĄval pecsĂ©teltem Ă©s alkoholos filcekkel szĂ­neztem a cicĂĄt meg a party sapkĂĄt. A felhƑket Ă©s a Hooray feliratot is fehĂ©r kartonbĂłl vĂ©gtam ki sablonnal, az utĂłbbit egy szivacsos applicator segĂ­tsĂ©gĂ©vel kĂ©k tintĂĄval szĂ­neztem fĂ©lig. HĂĄttĂ©rnek egy mintĂĄs papĂ­rt hasznĂĄltam, ami Ă©gnek tƱnt, ezt egy közĂ©pkĂ©k kartonbĂłl vĂĄgott alapra ragasztottam. Egy vĂ©kony piros kerettel emeltem ki a cicĂĄt a lufival, erre kerĂŒltek a flhƑk Ă©s nĂ©hĂĄny ĂĄtlĂĄtszĂł flitter. A cicĂĄt 3D ragasztĂłval ragasztottam fel. A kivĂĄgott felirat alĂĄ fekete tintĂĄval egy szĂŒlinapi szöveget pecsĂ©teltem. A lufi zsinĂłrjakĂ©nt vĂ©kony ezĂŒst madzagot hasznĂĄltam, amit ĂĄtvezettem a kivĂĄgott felirat hurkain is. VĂ©gĂŒl egy kis elmaradhatatlan csillogĂĄs a Wink of Stella-val, Ă©s jĂł nagy adag glossy accent a lufira – Ă©s kĂ©sz!

Jana’s mermaids (Guest Designer)

Good morning all,

Today’s post is very special, as I have a guest designer 😀

Please welcome my daughter Jana, she is 5 and loves to craft. Her favourite tools are my Shinhan markers, she loves to stamp and colour. She is a bit shy of her art and needs encouragement, so if you could leave her some love in the comments below, she would be so happy.

20160713_091907 wmjana

Jana loves mermaids as every little girl, she stamped some of her favourite images from the Lawn Fawn mermaid stamp set on white cardstock and coloured them with Shinhan markers. It took her a bit of time as she is a precise colorist and doesn’t want to get outside the lines. If she does so, she is using a white gel pen to fix any mistakes.

20160713_091926 wmjana

Then she made her starfish background with Gold Delicata ink, a blending tool and a stencil. When it was dry, we die cut the images for her with the coordinating dies and she glued them in place with a tape runner. The tiny images I helped her with.

20160713_091951

In the inside of her card we put a piece of blue typing paper for a message that the recipient can write to herself and she signed below. When it was done, she asked me: “Mummy, do you know whom I made this card for? YOU!” My heart melted in this moment…

Please note that the colours she is choosing on her own (I have like 100 markers, lucky me)

I hope you like it. We would like to play along with this card in the SSS Monday Challenge Flora and Fauna and Wednesday Challenge Create a scene.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon for another cutsie card,

Sziasztok!

Ma egy kĂŒlönleges vendĂ©g kĂ©peslapjĂĄt mutatom meg nektek. KĂ©rlek fogadjĂĄtok szeretettel JanĂĄt, a kislĂĄnyomat. Jana 5 Ă©ves Ă©s nagyon szeret nyomdĂĄzni Ă©s szĂ­nezni. FƑleg az Ă©n Shinhan alkoholos filceimmel. Nagyon szĂ©gyenlƑs a lĂĄny, fƑleg, ha a mƱvĂ©szetĂ©rƑl van szĂł. Egy kis bĂĄtorĂ­tĂĄs jĂłl esne neki, ha idƑtök engedi, kĂ©rlek Ă­rjatok neki pĂĄr kedves szĂłt. Nagyon örĂŒlne.

20160713_091907 wmjana

Jana nagyon szereti a sellƑket, mint minden kislĂĄny. Az egyik kedvence a Lawn Fawn Mermaids kĂ©szlet, ezt pecsĂ©telte le fekete tintĂĄval Ă©s szĂ­nezte a filcekkel. A szĂ­nezĂ©s eltartott egy darabig, mert nagyon precĂ­z Ă©s nem akar kimenni a vonalbĂłl. Ha ez mĂ©gis megtörtĂ©nne, egy fehĂ©r zselĂ©s tollal javĂ­tja ki a hibĂĄt.

20160713_091926 wmjana

A hĂĄtteret stencillel, egy szivacsos applikĂĄtorral Ă©s arany tintĂĄval kĂ©szĂ­tette egyedĂŒl. AmĂ­g a tinta szĂĄradt, egyĂŒtt kivĂĄgtuk a sellƑket a hozzĂĄvalĂł vĂĄgĂłkĂ©sekkel. Jana ragasztotta fel Ƒket görgƑs ragasztĂłval. az aprĂłbb darabokban segĂ­tettem neki. BelĂŒlre egy vilĂĄgoskĂ©k papĂ­rt ragasztottunk, ahova az ĂŒzenetet tudja Ă­rni az, aki a lapot kapja. A mĂĄsik oldalra Jana leĂ­rta a nevĂ©t. Amikor kĂ©szen volt, Ă­gy szolt: “Anya, tudod kinek csinĂĄltam ezt a lapot? NEKED!” Akkor elolvadtam 😀

20160713_091951

Fontos megjegyeznem, hogy a szĂ­neket Ƒ maga vĂĄlasztja több mint 100 filcbƑl (szerencsĂ©s vagyok, hogy ilyen sok szĂ©p dologgal alkothatok).

RemĂ©lem tetszik kis mƱvĂ©szem alkotĂĄsa. Be is neveztĂŒnk kĂ©t kihĂ­vĂĄsra is ezzel a lappal! 😀

Hamarosan Ășjra jelentkezem egy aranyos kĂ©peslap ötlettel.

Addig is ĂŒdv,

Mermaid for each other – special post for my brother

Hello,

Today I brought a very special card i made for the wedding anniversary of my brother, but i didn’t want to post it until i was sure he got and opened it 😀 So here we go:

20160713_092128 wm

First i made my background by blending various distress inks on Bristol Smooth cardstock. I love this cardstock for ink blending, it is much easier to get perfect blend. Then i used a starfish stencil and applied the same inks to create a colourful background, which i die cut with the Avery Elle Wonky stitches die. The mermaid and merman are from the cutest ever Lawn Fawn set, i coloured them with Shinhan alcohol markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies. The heart is from the flamingo set from Lawn Fawn. I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of watercolour cardstock with Verdigris embossing powder from Ranger. I stapled it twice to my background and glued my images in place with liquid glue.

20160713_092201

The fun part was to cut some glittery sequins in tiny pieces and glue them on the tail of the mermaid and merman. It took a while but i enjoyed the fuss and the final look. A bit of shimmer and a gold pearl on the flower of the mermaid plus the inevitable glossy accent finished of my anniversary card. I used some fun foam under my background panel and mounted it on a simple white cardbase.

20160713_092227_001

I hope you like it and got inspired. I am participating in the Simon Says Stamp Monday (Flora and Fauna) and Wednesday Challenges (Create a scene) with this card.

I will have a very special post soon, stay tuned 😉

See you,

Enjoy life card for the summer

Hello,

Quick post only as i am running out of time to enroll for the SSS Wednesday Challenge Photo inspiration. I wanted something funny, and the below image really inspired me.

july-inspiration-board

20160713_091803 wm

I started with cutting a cross-stitched rectangle with a Lawn Fawn die, then used the SSS rectangle dies to cut my wooden patterned paper and the glitter paper. I stamped my sentiment in black from Lawn Fawn Life is good on the wooden paper, glued the die cut Enjoy above. The flipflops are from the same set, coloured with Shinhan alcohol markers. 

20160713_091736

The waves are die cut with the Lawn Fawn wave borders (i double cut it to get slim strips) and glued pieces of it on the glitter paper. I mounted the whole panel on a creamy textured cardstock, for the warm feel.

20160713_091820

I hope you like it.

See you soon,

Masculine card in red/white/blue

Hello,

It has been so long since my last post, I apologize. I have been crafting but much less due to Ramadan, but now I am back in the normal swing of life. Which means, I have to try myself in my favourite challenges too. This week the SSS Monday Challenge is about red/white/blue, so I came up with this card:

20160705_171214 wm.jpg

I am not good at really masculine cards as I am lucky enough to have the sweetest husband ever, who appreciates any type of card I make (ok, I don’t give him pinky flowers). But a friend of mine asked me for a masculine birthday card and I tried to be as man-like as I could. The most difficult part was not to add shimmer 😀

20160705_171245

The car image if a Joy!Craft image and the sentiment is from an MFT set. I used Lawn Fawn die inks Blue Jay and Lobster for my stamping. It was enough not to make it shimmery but i couldn’t give up on some stitched details, so I used an MFT die for the strip of red under the focal image. The only embellishment I used were a few matte enamel dots from Doodlebugs.

20160705_171235

Simple card, but not bad for the first attempt I think. I will challenge myself further and try to make more masculine cards in the future. I hope you got inspired too.
