just a note

Hi!

Hope you all had a lovely Easter!

I wanted to share this card today...it's a little sneak peek new JD stamps ....like I mentioned before I hand draw my designs on paper and then scan them etc. I always print out my designs first to get a feel of the sizing and if they would be good for colouring, paper piecing, etc. I couldn't help but colour this owl and make a card!

I also used our Geometric Patterns stamp set for my background and did a little bit of heat embossing. Finally my new heat gun arrived!! And did I mention that it's PINK! :)

For the sentiment I used a SRM sticker. And to colour my owl I used Graph'it markers. 

And just a reminder of our sale.....it lasts until Sunday (April 27th).

Have a great day!

bunny banner

Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

I'm sharing my bunny banner today! 

After cutting my bunnies out I stamped on the black and white bunnies using our Easter Time and Geometric Patterns stamp sets.

I stamped polka dots using gold ink and added some white sequins and for the black bunny I just stamped the sentiments over and over to cover the bunny. For the kraft paper bunnies I just added a white felt tail! :)

I punched tiny holes in the ears and just threaded some string through them.

I couldn't get a clear photo of the banner by the window so for the sake of photos I put the banner over my stove (but I'm keeping it by the window).

Here's a free template....I still haven't figured out why there's a light grey background...because it's totally white when I open the file in photoshop...perhaps it's blogger??? I'll have to get my husband to take a look at it. 

Have a great day

black is the new black

Hello! How you doin?!! (I totally did that in my Joey voice!!)

I never really used black in my cards except for Halloween and probably wouldn't have started if it weren't for this chalkboard art obsession of mine!!

For this card I used Geometric Patterns and Croatian Sentiments. I also used some gorgeous pattern paper (which I tend to hoard!!!) The polka dots on the butterfly is from my very first JD stamp set which is not available now but I think I'm going to add these polka dots to a new sets...I LOVE polka dots!! you need them in all sizes! :)

Have a great day! xo

wedding card

Hello! Hope all is well! :)
I've said before and I'll say it again...I love Pinterest..it gives me so many ideas and inspiration like this card by Iwona. I just love her cards! :) I have to make a couple of wedding cards and thought this would make such a lovely one.

My heat gun doesn't work...have to buy a new one so I used my white gel pen and traced over the stamped sentiments...not perfect but I still like it. For this card I used Croatian Sentiments, Geometric Patterns, I Got This and Special Day.

Pop on over to the JD blog and find out who won my Noah's Ark giveaway! :) Have a great day! xo

Sretan rođendan

Hello! Day!
Hope you all are having a lovely day! To all my fellow Croatian...a very Happy Independence Day!

This card was inspired by Alice's card using my Suzi stamp set...her colouring is just brilliant! For my card I used Double Trouble, Geometric Patterns and Croatian Sentiments. I used Graph'it markers to colour and I did some masking too.

I added a gem and one of my handmade buttons. I also stamped diamonds and polka dots onto cardstock and cut them out to create banners.

Have a great day!! xo

Chalkboard art birthday card

Hello!
The sun is out this morning...thank goodness..don't you just feel like a different person when the sun is out!! So I've been loving chalkboard art lately and was inspired to make a card using stamps to make chalkboard art...much much easier than writing it out by hand! :)

I also used the free leaf template I drew up (you can find that here)...it's great to have...you can adjust the size of the leaves to fit your project. I stapled these tiny leaves...

I wanted to heat emboss with white embossing powder but my heat gun doesn't work..grrrr!! so I stamped using white ink and then took my white gel pen and traced over 'Friend' to make that stand out.

I used our Geometric Patterns, I Got This and Special Day stamp sets.

Don't forget about our FREE SHIPPING worldwide this week. Pop on over to my shop! :) Have a great day! xo

cards and new JD stamps!

Hello!

Hope all is well!

I created two similar cards...for this one I didn't do any colouring...all I did was stamp the flowers (did some masking) and then with the same ink pad I just dabbed it onto my acrylic block and spritzed some water on it and took a small paint brush and added a touch of colour...simple and fast. I used my Pretty Peonies, Geometric Patterns and Croatian sentiments stamp sets.

For this card I did the same masking technique (which I did a video...you can check here)...but I coloured the flowers with my Graph'it markers.

Also....two new JD stamps sets are in the shop!! :) It'll be a small release (had some other stuff going on...the next release will be back to normal!) but a sweet one! :)

This first stamp set was designed by the talented Angeline!!

Blessings Sentiments

This set I drew up....I'd like you to meet Emma (who was inspired by my talented DT member Laura's daughter Emma and the boy is my youngest Jakov who did loose his very first tooth!!) This set is called...

Double Trouble

So keep an eye out for the release....it's coming soon! :)

Have a great weekend!
