Happy Birthday

Today I would like to share a beautifully shaped card. To create my card I used a die from a new Chantilly Paper Lace collection by Becca Feeken. I used Spellbinders S6-130 - Chemise Layering Frame Large. To create a card base I followed tutorial by Becca - click. Card measures approx. 4.80'' x 6.80''.

Moja dzsiejsza kartka zawdzięcza swój cundy kształt wykrojnikowi z nowej kolekcji Chantilly Paper Lace zaprojektowanej przez Becca Feeken. Użyłam wykrojnik Spellbinders S6-130 - Chemise Layering Frame Large. Bazę kartki zrobiłam wg tutorialu Becca - klik. Kartka jest wielkości ok. 12.20cm na 17.30cm. 

I handmade flowers which are on my card using Spellbinders S4-791 - Isadora Trinkets.

Kwiatki na karce zrobiłam z papieru czerpanego wykrojnikiem kwiatkowym Spellbinders S4-791 - Isadora Trinkets.

I also added a tiny tag from Spellbinders SDS-053 - Tiny Tag Stamp and Die set.
I used patterned paper from Blue Fern Studios.

Na kartkę dodałam również malutki tag z zestawu Spellbinders SDS-053 - Tiny Tag Stamp and Die set.
Papier na kartce jest od Blue Fern Studios.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words.

Serdecznie pozdrawiam i dziękuję za bardzo miłe komentarze.

Christening Day

Moja dzsiejsza kartka powstała z okazji Chrztu Świętego. Do ozdobienia kartki użyłam papiery Studio75 z kolekcji Aleja Róż (mały pad).

Włosy aniołka wycięłam z kartonu Mr&Mrs Black 04 a sukienkę z kartonu premium.

My little Treasure / Workshops in Trzęsacz

We made this frame during our 7th summer workshop in Trzęsacz with Ewa Morzowska. Ewa called this workshop 'keepsake box'. I had this photo of my daughter ready for last workshop - mini album but it fitted here so well that I decided to change a bit inside of the frame and add this photo.

Na naszym 6stym warsztacie na letnich warsztatach w Trzęsaczu z Ewą Mrozowską zrobiliśmy taką morską ramkę na skarby. Ja do swojej dodałam zdjęcie mojej córki. Miałam je przygotowane do albumu ale tak pasowało tutaj, że zostało. Musiałam tylko trochę zmienić wnętrze.

The letter 'L' is for Łucja (Lucy) my daughter's name.

Literka 'L' jak Łucja :)

Have a nice day!

Birthday Cards

Today I would like to share two oval shaped card. To create my cards I used a die from a new die collection called Chantilly Paper Lace designed by Becca Feeken. I used Spellbinders S5-332 - Hemstitch Ovals. Cards measure approx 4.25x5.50 in (10.8cm by 13.9cm).

Moje dzisiejsze dwie owalne kartki przygotowałam przy użyciu wykrojnika z nowej kolekcji Chantilly Paper Lace zaprojektowanej przez Becca Feeken. Użyłam wykrojnik  Spellbinders S5-332 - Hemstitch Ovals. Kartki są wielkości około 10.8cm na 13.9cm.

On my first card I added my handmade roses, which I used to make all the time but have not done them for a while. To create roses I used Spellbinders S6-050 - Cinch and Go Flowers One and followed this tutorial.

Na pierwszą kartkę dodałam ręcznie zrobione różyczki, które kiedyś robiłam non stop a potem przez dłuuugą chwilę w ogóle. Do zrobienia tych rózyczek użyłam wykrojnik Spellbindrs S6-050 - Cinch and Go Flowers One. Różyczki zrobiłam wg tego tutorialu - klik.

After I die cut a card base I added hemstitch insert die on the inside of the card too. I also cut off a tiny bit of the oval so the card can stand up by itself.

Po wycięciu owalnej bazy dodałam haftowany wzór również na wewnetrznej części kartki. Odciełam też kawałeczek owalu tak aby kartka mogła sama stać.

My second card I decorated with flowers from Spellbinders S4-791 - Isadora Trinkets. Also from this die set come decorative elements (Fanned Trinket) which I used on both cards on the background.

Moją drugą kartkę ozdobiłam kwiatami z zestawu wykrojnika Spellbinders S4-791 - Isadora Trinkets. Z tego samego zestawu są ozdobne elementy (Fanned Trinket), które dodałam na obu kartkach.

There are on both cards my favorite tiny tags which are from Spellbinders SDS-053 - Tiny Tag Stamp and Die set.

Malutkie tagi sa z zestawu Spellbinders SDS-053 - Tiny Tag Stamp and Die set.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

She decided... / Workshops in Trzęsacz

This wooden frame we created during summer workshops in Trzęsacz with Ewa Morzowska. This was our 5th workshop. Originally there was a vintage photo which we could use with this frame but I decided to add my mum photo (I created it the way I can swap pictures, the vintage photo is at the back).

Tą piękną drewnianą ramkę zrobiliśmy razem z Ewą Morozwską podczas letnich warsztatów w Trzęsaczu. To był nasz 5ty warsztat. Do ramki każdy otrzymał stare zdjęcie, które mógł użyć. Ja zdecydowałam się dodać zdjęcie mojej mamy. To miejsce na zdjęcie skleiłam tak, że mogę zamieniać zdjęcia. Stare zdjęcie jest cały czas pod spodem.

We had a very nice stamps with sentiments. I picked this one: She decided to start living the life she had imagined.

Mieliśmy ładne stemple z sentencjami, ja wybrałam taki (w moim tłumaczeniu) 'Ona zdecydowała się zacząć żyć życiem, które sobie wymarzyła.

We decorated the frame with crackle medium. I was very happy to see lots of cracks on mine frame :)

Ramkę ozdobiliśmy medium pękającym. Bardzo się ucieszyłam widząc, że na mojej pokawiło się mnóstwo spękań :)

And here is a picture with the vintage photo.

A tutaj jest zdjęcie ze starym zdjęciem.

Here is a frame with the photo I picked up earlier for this project but then decided to add to canvas I showed previously.

To zdjęcie, które dałam na blejtram miało być do tej ramki domku.

Trzęsacz :-)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Introducing the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection Blog Hop

Welcome sweet friends, today we are introducing a new die collection by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders called Chantilly Paper Lace - you can take a quick peek of the entire collection -------> HERE.

Have you ever rummaged around in your grandmothers attic, through memories of the past to find sweet letters and cards romantically tucked away for safe keeping while preserving sweet acquaintances and conversations of the past?  Letters adorned with the finest decorations, now tattered and ripened with age, impress what an honor it was to receive these treasures. Becca reached into the past to restore some of these treasures, preserving the fine detail, the elegance and the pure femininity into modern day romantic die cuts that are at home on any card. The collection is reminiscent of petticoats, fine lace and adornments and are designed so that each die works with the other. In fact, the card front dies are designed so that they can be used alone or two can be layered over each other. Join us as each Creative Team member shares their creations with two dies from the collection.  

We are listing all of the creative team so that you don't miss a beat but don't forget, each of us will be giving away an Amazing Paper Grace die pulled from the comments - one from each blog and hint-hint you'll want to make sure you leave a comment on the Spellbinders Blog too. The prize details are at the bottom of my post. So, without further ado let me talk about the dies I get to introduce:

First up is Spellbinders S5-330  - Lunette Arched Borders

I created two shaped cards using Lunette Arched Borders. You can find Becca's tutorial how to use border dies to create a shaped card - here. To die cut the borders I connected two dies from this set, Lunette Insert and Top Arch Cut die. This card measures approx. 5-3/8'' high by 5-1/2'' wide. The lovely accent, Romantic Loops, which I placed at bottom of this card comes from Spellbinders S4-709 Graceful Corners One and tiny tags are from Spellbinders SDS-053 Graceful Tiny Tags Stamp and Die Set.

'Happy Birthday' card I created the same way like the first card. I just die cut one side of the card. This card measures approx. 5'' wide by 5-3/8'' high. The accent at the bottom of this card and two of the flowers are from Spellbinders S4-791 Isadora Trinkets die set.

This is a beautiful die set. The arches allow to make shaped cards as well as decorate backgrounds by using just inserts.

Second up is Spellbinders S4-819 Lilly Pearl Flat Fold Flower/Border

On my first card with Lilly Pearl die I used the die as a border. I die cut three largest borders and two medium ones and arranged them on the card. I did not cut the borders to fit the card base before gluing them down. I did it after all of them were in place. I just trimmed all at once. The decorative accent which is on this card is from Spellbinders S6-078 Regal Allure.

My second card with Lilly Pearl die is a card where I used the die as a flower. I created a beautiful lily using all three dies in this set. I also added leaves from Spellbinders S4-792 Cinch and Go Flowers Two and used Spellbinders S5-308 Hemstitch Rectangles as a background for my card. The sentiment comes from Spellbinders SDS-054 Giving Occasion Stamp and Die set.

To create lily all you need to do is fold the scored lines and fold the flower with as many petals as you like. I have eight petals as I noticed that when I was using thick patterned paper (from Blue Fern Studio) the flower closed easier with eight petals. Once the flowers is folded I added a tiny bit of glue at the very end. I twisted a bit each petal on a pencil to give a bit of dimension.

I took a few photos to show how to fold the flower. 

After folding scored lines you need to fold diagonal folds to the left and keep them on the top.

Add a bit of glue at the end on the little triangle and glue it on the top of the other end.

This is the front of the flower.

And this is the back of the flower.
