Fimo obeski

Letos sem na morju dobila tole ogrlico - mogoče se bo komu zdelo čudno, ampak na nakitu se mi večinoma pojavljajo gekoni, želve, hobotnice, kače... v različnih izvedbah (steklo, kovina, plastika in seveda Fimo).
Še preden sem si jo nadela, sem vedela, da bom kot kovinski obesek uporabljala samo notranji del, samega gekončka. Zunanji del pa sem uporabila za tole:


Imela sem nekaj ostankov Fimo mase v rjavih tonih (od tod neenakomerna barva obeska), pa sem jih zgnetla, razvaljala, vtisnila šablonico, obrezala po robovih, odstranila šablono, naredila luknjico za vrvico in seveda za očke.

FIMO PENDANTS

This year, I got this necklace when we were at the seaside - maybe some people will find it weird but there are quite a lot of geckos, turtles, octopusses, snakes on my jewellery... in various materials (glass, metal, plastic and of course Fimo).
Even before I put it on, I knew that I was only going to use the inner part as a pendulum, the gecko itself. And I used the outer part for the pendulums shown in the photo.
I took some Fimo in different brown colours (hence the uneven colour), I kned them together, rolled them out, pressed the template in, cut off at the edges, removed the template, made a hole for the string and of course two little eyes.

Še en vnuček

Danes je vse bolj na hitro - že za samo voščilnico nisem imela veliko časa, pa še objava bo danes čisto kratka. Zakaj? Ker se mi je v mojem ustvarjalnem kotičku vse že tako nakopičilo, da je bil že pravi podvig najti vse, kar bi v določenem trenutku potrebovala. In ker sem zdaj z vsem tem materialom okupirala kuhinjo in dnevno sobo. In ker moram pohiteti, da se bo dalo potem v stanovanju spet stanovati.

ANOTHER GRANDSON
Everything is going a bit quicker today - I didn't really have much time for the card itself, and the post will also be quite short. Why? Because I managed to pile up so many things in my creative corner that it was an achievement to find everything I needed in a certain moment. And because I've occupied both our kitchen and our living room with all these things. And because I have to hurry so that we can use our apartment for normal living again.

p.s. Se že veselim, kako bo fajn, ko zaključim :)
p.s. I'm already looking forward to how nice it's going to be when I'm done :)

Sončna družinica

Nekajkrat sem naletela na srčkane štempiljke, s katerimi se da sestaviti manjše in večje osebice, ker pa so mi zaenkrat štempiljke od Stampin' Up še nedosegljive, sem si rekla, no, pa jih pač narišimo. In sem narisala eno malo srečno družino. Za dobre želje. Najprej sem hotela narediti bolj pisano voščilnico, potem pa je prevladala rumena. Sončna.

A SUNNY LITTLE FAMILY
A few times I've come across some cute stamps with which you can stamp smaller and bigger little people, but since the stamp from Stampin' Up are still out of my reach, I said, well, let's draw them. And I drew a happy little family. For good wishes. First I was going for more colours on the card, but then the yellow color prevailed. The colour of the sun.

Poseben dan

Pred kratkim sem potrebovala poročno voščilnico in preden sem se spravila k delu, sem se odločala med različnimi idejami, pa so se mi vse zdele uporabne in sem si rekla, da bom pač naredila več voščilnic, izbrala eno in jo poslala, ostale pa uporabila kdaj pozneje. No, na koncu se je pač zgodilo tako, da sem začela s tole in je pri tej tudi ostalo. Ne morem si pomagati, ob Sarah Kay se še vedno raznežim...

A SPECIAL DAY
A few days ago, I needed a wedding card and before I said down to make it, I was contemplating several different ideas, and they all seemed useful, so I said I would make more cards, pick one for mailing and use the rest on some other occasions. But in the end, well, I ended up with this one as the only one. I just can't help it, I've still got a soft spot as far as Sarah Kay is concerned.

Danes Fimo

Poleg prašičkov in medvedkov iz Fimo mase naredim kdaj tudi kakšen obesek ali prstan ...


IT'S FIMO TODAY

Apart from piglets and teddies, I sometimes take Fimo and make a pendant or a ring...

Vesel kopalni dan

Tu in tam kupim revije s predlogami za okenske ali stenske slike - po njih se izrežejo posamezni deli, ki se jih potem sestavi v sliko. No, in enkrat sem imela preblisk: zakaj pa ne bi takšnih sestavljank uporabila na čestitkah. Majhne, seveda. In sem vzela predlogo, jo poskenirala in pomanjšala, natisnila tri ali štiri enake sličice in jih razrezala tako, da sem dobila vse koščke - šablonice.


Nato sem sličico natisnila še enkrat na vrhu lista, list po dolžini prerezala, prepognila in ob straneh zalepila, da sem dobila žepek za vse koščke.


In zdaj vsako šablonico dam na ustrezen papir ali karton, občrtam, izrežem, sestavim, zlepim, okrasim - voila!

Za sličico na današnji voščilnici sem uporabila še dve šablonici od druge žabice (za lepšo "kopalno kad"). Za očke pa sem uporabila male bele okrogle nalepke (Müller).

HAPPY BATHDAY

From time to time, I buy a magazine with templates for paper piecing - but the pictures are quite large, intended for decoration of walls or windows. And then an idea struck me once: who not use these pictures on my cards. Smaller, of course. So I took a template, scanned it, reduced it, printed three or four copies and cut the up so that I got all the pieces - little templates. Then I printed the picture once again, at the top of the paper, cut the paper in half vertically, folded it and glued at the sides, and I got a nice little pocket for the templates. And now I put the templates on the appropriate paper or stock, trace it, cut it, put all together, place them on the card, add some other stuff - voila!

For the picture on today's card, I used two templates of the other frog (for a nicer-looking "bath tub"). And for the eyes I used small white round stickers (Müller).

In še enkrat rožice

Tokrat malo bolj otroška, motivi na sredini so nalepke, tortico sem še pobarvala, cel osrednji del pa je na ozadje prilepljen z blazinicami, da rožice malo bolj "plavajo" (na skenirani sliki se to na žalost ne vidi).

AND LITTLE FLOWERS ONCE AGAIN
This card is maybe a bit more for kiddies, the motives in the middle are stickers, the cake is coloured in, and the entire central part was glued to the background with dimensionals, for the flowers to "swim" a little (unfortunately one can't tell that from the scanned image).

In rožice

Iz včerajšnje serije danes objavljam dve voščilnici. Ko so rožice različnih barv ležale druga ob drugi na mizi, so se mi kar pojavljale različne možnosti kombiniranja. In ena izmed njih je bila kombinacija rjavih tonov, za katero sem izbrala temno rdečo podlago. Vse je šlo dobro, dokler nisem hotela malo okrasiti še roba. Medtem ko sem risala črto ob robu, mi je uspelo z drugo roko zapacati ozadje - nepopravljivo! Pa sem vzela rožice dol in jih slučajno odložila na svetlo moder papir, ki je čakal na nadaljnje ideje. Pa mi je bila, kombinacija tako všeč, da sem si rekla, da bom morala narediti še takšno. No, če se vrnem na rdečo - rožice sem vzela dol, obrnila karton, jih ponovno nalepila in... ponovno pokvarila rob! Potem sem rob odrezala, poiskala ustrezen okvir in dodala okrogle žebljičke. Verjetno bom kmalu naredila še eno takšno, kot je bila ta na začetku.
Ja, pa še modro sem morala narediti.


AND LITTLE FLOWERS
I'm posting two cards from my yesterday's batch. With little flowers of different colour lying side-by-side on the table, the possibilities of combining them just kept popping up. And one of them was a combination of brown tones, for which I chose a dark red background. Everything was going just fine until I tried to decorate the border. While I was drawing a line, I somehow managed to mess up the background - irreparably! So I removed the flowers and, accidentally, I put them on a piece of very light blue paper that was lying there waiting for my next idea. And I loved the combination so much that I said to myself I'd have to make one like that. Well, back to the red one - I removed the flowers, turn the red card over, put the flowers back again and... messed up the border again! Then I cut it off, found an appropriate frame and added round brads. But I'll probably make one more soon, just the way this one was at the beginning.
Yes, and I had to make a blue one.

Rožice

V bistvu sem se današnjega ustvarjanja lotila z namenom, da naredim nekaj rojstnodnevnih voščilnic, ampak rezultati so bili malo drugačni od pričakovanega. Namreč, "naštancala" sem si majhne rožice v najrazličnejših barvah in potem se nisem mogla ustaviti.

LITTLE FLOWERS

Today, I started creating with a special purpose - to make some birthday cards, but the results were a bit different from my expectations. Namely, I punched small flowers in various colours, and then I just couldn't stop myself.

Ena zelo hitra

Moja "polovična" faza se tu in tam kar izplača - včeraj sem se deset minut pred odhodom na planinski pohod spomnila, da moramo še pred dvanajsto poslati voščilnico za rojstni dan, da jo bo naša mala slavljenka prejela v ponedeljek. No, pa sem vzela eno pripravljeno voščilnico, en malo manjši karton, pa dva mala, pa en izrezan motiv, trakec in nalepke. Kužka sem prilepila na kartonček, kartonček na malo večjega, zavezala pentljo, vse skupaj namestila na ozadje, dodala napis - voila! Napisali smo še voščilo, voščilnico sem še fotografirala, in že smo jo lahko odnesli.

A SUPER FAST ONE
My "half-way" phase pays off sometimes - yesterday I remembered (ten minutes before we set off for a hiking trip) that we should take a birthday card to the post office before noon, so that our little birthday girl would get the card on Monday. So, I took one blank folded card, a little smaller card for the background, two small pieces of card, a cut out motiv, ribbon and stickers. I glued the doggy a little card and this card it on a little bigger one, tied a bow, placed everything on the background, added the words (saying "Happy birthday!") - voila! We signed the card, I took a photo, and the card was ready for mailing.

p.s. V teh dneh sem naredila še darilca za moji sestrični, ki bosta kmalu tudi praznovali, ampak bom slike objavila pozneje, da jima ne pokvarim presenečenja, če bosta v teh dneh slučajno tule kaj brali...

p.s. In the past few days, I also made presents for my cousins who will also be celebrating their birthdays soon, but I decided to post the photos of the presents a bit later, so I don't spoil the surprise, if they happen to read my posts in these days...

Saj ves čas nekaj delam

- samo da sem trenutno v neki "preizkuševalni" in "polovični" fazi - kar nekaj režem in štempljam in kombiniram, do končnih izdelkov pa ne pridem. No, skoraj. Tukaj je ena serija treh voščilnic - v trgovini sem zagledala tri trakce v različnih barvnih kombinacijah, kupila vsakega en meter, doma pa iz jim prilagodila papir in okraski. (Ne, kvadratki tokrat niso "palčkimalčki", ker se mi je zdelo, da bi se kačji pastirji kar nekako izgubili, če bi bili kvadratki še pol centimetra večji.)


I DO MAKE THINGS ALL THE TIME

- it's just that I'm in some kind of a "testing" and "half-way" phase - I keep cutting and stamping and combining, but don't get to any finalized projects- Well, almost. Here is a series of three cards - I saw three ribbons in different colour combinations at a shop, bought a meter of each, and found appropriate paper and embellishments at home. (No, the squares are not "inchies" this time, it seemed to me that the dragonflies would look somehow lost if the squares were half a centimeter larger.)
