North Star Stamps projects

Good evening!
A couple of months ago I applied to the North Star Stamps design team call. Some days ago, I received an email from Kari and Trine and this week I received a couple of stamps. How exciting! I'm supposed to show what I'm able to acomplish with the stamps. They really are beautiful, check out the shop, follow the link or click on the banner above.

These are the projects I made using one of the stamps, this cute angel is perfect for Valentines cards and I also made a little box. :)



The stamp is North Star Stamp, the paper is K&Co, the flower is Prima, the rest is from stash.

This card fits the Stamp Something challenge which has the theme -" Distressed Somathings"



I coloured the image with watercolours and added sakura gelly roll pen on the wings.




My second project with the same North Star Stamp is this little box.



I used kraft cardstock and some lace and ribbon from stash, the white flower is Poppicrafts.

With this sample project I 'm also entering the Totaly Gorjuss challenge , which has the theme "Ribbon".



Again coloured with watercolours.



And another closer look at the top of the box.



Next week I will be posting some projects with another North Star Stamps stamp.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! :)

SAV challenge - Spring

Hello again!
Can you believe I'm posting again in one day. :)
I made a card for the SAV challenge #19 which has the theme - "Spring.

And the Pink Elephant challenge, also has the theme - "Spring".



I used one of my new Sarah Kay stamps, "Puppy Love", which has been on my wish list for quite a while and I bought it at Secret Crafter . The papers are K&Co, Sparkly Sweet, the flower is Prima, they came from Bunny Zoes Crafts. The butterfly and the sentiment stamp are SU, the ribbon and the button are from stash.



Coloured with watercolours, as usual.



Thank you for stopping by at my blog and have a lovely evening! :)

Belle in Serbia... and she likes it here :)

Hello! there is a wonderful challenge posted on the Belles 'n Whistles blog, that I like very much! Unusual and totally original! :) It's called "Where do they live. The idea is to show all the different places in the world where Belles 'n Whistles stamps reside.

There is a great prize to be won, two lucky winers will receive the whole new set of BnW stamps! How awesome is that?!

Here are the details that are posted on the BnW blog:

1) Show me a view! Where do your Belles 'n Whistles stamps live?

2) Show me a Belles 'n Whistles stamp inside this photographic view.

3) Post your creative pic on your blog, being sure to link back to our Belles 'n Whistles challenge here...so that people don't think you are nuts!

So, as the challenge itself is totally different, I thought I would try to do something different, too. I'm from Serbia (Europe) and I live in a very pretty small town.
At first I wanted to take a photo outside, so you can see all the pretty nature here, but that wouldn't show you what Serbia really is.
So, I decided to show you some bits of my country through traditional souvenirs that I have in my home. Something that you should see if you ever come here as a tourist. When Belle first arrived here, last summer, she wanted to get to know her new home country and this is what I showed her, she totally loved everything! ;)



So, on the photo from the left you can see Basil, something that every (or almost every) house here has . It is used for preparing the holy water for Easter and "Slava" (home patron Saint). You can't really see the typical serbian house in this photo (sorry, I'm a bad photographer), but you can see the roof. :) "Licidersko srce" (the heart thing) something that I loved to eat when I was a child, you can buy them at every fair here, they are very tasty. Then we have a funny "Serbian family" postcard (funny but true lol), a pipe, traditional Serbian shoes called "opanci" and a traditional instrument called "frula".



And this is where I keep my Belles 'n Whistles stamps.

Oh, and I forgot to say, Belle even learned how to dance "kolo" (a traditional Serbian dance), in fact she loved it here so much, that she invited some of her friends to come too, needless to say they decided to stay here for good and I think there are yet, many more to come! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sisters, wonderful sisters...

I samo da pokazem pecate koji su mi stigli prosle nedelje. Posto jako volim Saru Kej, nisam mogla da ne narucim neke od njih. Pogledajte na sajtu Secret Crafter, cena je odlicna, a imaju i najnovije izdanje.

And just to show you the stamps which arrived last week. As I love Sarah Kay very much, I couldn't help ordering some of them. Check out the Secret Crafter site, the price is great and they also have the newest release.

My first Motivet card, a missed challenge and some entries

Zdravo svima!
Evo jedne cestitke koju sam napravila jos u cetvrtak uvece, koristeci "free digital image" sa Motivet bloga. Pratila sam njihov sketch, ali sam svoju cestitku nazalost napravila kasno, jer je vec u petak postavljen novi "challenge" na tom blogu.
Ipak, resila sam da postavim cestitku na svoj blog, posto se uklapa u teme nekih drugih "challenge" -a:

Hello everyone!
Here is a card I made on Thursday night, using a "free digital image" from Motivet's blog. I followed their sketch, but unfortunately I made my card too late, as the new challenge was already posted on the blog on Friday. However, I decided to post my card on my blog, since it fits the themes of some other challenges:

A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is called - "Spring is in the Air"
Dutch Dare challenge is to make a Valentine's Day card .
Stamp Something challenge, has the theme - "Touch of Spring somethings"



Kao sto rekoh, "image" je Motivet. Koristila sam jos i Whiff of Joy pecat, cvetovi su takodje dva pecata: "Queen Kat Designs" i "SU". Plavi cvet je Poppicrafts . Koristila sam takodje i jedan busac, a papir i traka su sa moje tzv."craft gomile".

As I've said, the image is Motivet. I also used a Whiff of Joy stamp, the flowers are stamps, too: "Queen Kat Designs" and "SU". The blue flower is Poppicrafts . I also used a ounch, and the papers and the ribbon are from stash.




Bojeno vodenim bojama.

Coloured with watercoloures.

Stamp with Stampavie and more challenge #82, GD card

Dobro jutro!
Prosto ne mogu da verujem da je prosla jos jedna sedmica, vreme je za novi "challenge" na Stamp with Stampavie and more blogu! Tema je: "Get Well Soon"
Moja treca GD cestitka:

Good morning!
I just can't believe that another week has gone by, it's time for another challenge at Stamp with Stampavie and more! The theme is: "Get Well Soon"
My third GD card:



Sta kazete za ovaj image? Mislim da je savrsen za "Get Well Soon" cestitku. Kako sam i sama prehladjena vec oko nedelju dana, rado bih prihvatila jednu casu osvezavajuce limunade! :)
Pecat je "Belles 'n Whistles", dok je "Here's to you" pecat "Stamping Bella", a osvojila sam ga od Moni. Zeleni papir je K&Co, za zuti nisam sasvim sigurna. Cvetici su Poppicrafts, zuta ruzica je is Bunny Zoes Crafts. Cipka, tracica, spenagle i zabac su iz lokalne prodavnice.

What do you say about this image? I think it's just perfect for a "Get Well Soon" card. As I've been having a cold for about a week now, I'd gladly accept a glass of refreshing lemonade. :)
The stamp is "Belles 'n Whistles", while the "Here's to You" stamp is "Stamping Bella", which I won from Moni. The green paper is K&Co, I'm not quite sure about the yellow one. The flowers are Poppicrafts, the yellow rose is from Bunny Zoes Crafts. The lace, ribbon, pins and the frog came from a local shop.



Bojeno vodenim bojama, kao i obicno.
Coloured with watercolours as usual.



Kad smo vec kod "Belles 'n Whistles" pecata, moram iskoristiti ovu priliku da kazem da sam pre neki dan bila po drugi put u "spotlight"-u na Belles 'n Whistles blogu, ovog puta sa ovom cestitkom.
Ako zelite, mozete pogletati post ovde.

Stamp with Stampavie and more challenge #81, GDT card

Good afternoon!

I had this post sheduled to be posted this morning, but I somehow put the wrong date (10.o3. insted of 10.02. ) silly me.

I know I’ve been absent for a whole week, but I have a good excuse: I had my last , final exam and now I’m waiting for the results. Fingers crossed! :)

Anyway, it’s Wednesday and that means a new challenge at Stamp with Stampavie and more . This is my second week as their GDT. Beautiful theme this week – A Baby card.



I had a perfect stamp for this challenge, a brand new, never used before and just as I was about to stamp a couple of images, I realized my ink pad was dry, so I decided to ckeck my ever growing pile of stamped images and found this one, sent to me by my lovely blogging friend Anne. The papers are from stash, I used a heart punch and stamped some hearts with a SU stamp. The sentiment is Stampendous, the flower is Prima, while the lace, button and the pins are from stash.





The image was coloured with watercolours



Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to enter this weeks challenge at the Stamp with Stampavie and more!
Have a great day ! :)

Stamp with Stampavie and more challenge #80, GDT card

Good morning!
Maybe you've noticed in my previous post (or maybe not) that I've been chosen by the most fantastic and super talented ladies from the Stamp with Stampavie and more DT to be one of their February guest designers! Isn't that just wonderful!!? This challenge blog was one of the first I discovered when I started making cards and posting and this really is an honour for me, so thank you so much ladies!:)

This weeks challenge is a fantastic one! I know you're gonna love it, because I know many people love colour combo challenges. I do, too and this is really one of my favourites: Pink and Brown colour combination. What do you say to that?! :)

And here is my card:



I thought I would finally ink up this cute little Emma from SCACD designed by Elisabeth Bell, for this card. I think she is absolutely adorable! The paper is K &Co. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy and the corner stamp is from the Queen Kat Designs. The brown flower is Poppicrafts, I added a punched pink flower and a pink rose in the centre. The brown flowers are also a Queen Kat Designs stamp. The lace, ribbon, pins and the safety pin are from stash.



Emma was coloured with watercolours
