Christmas Cards in Mass Production

Made with Silhouette Cameo. The trees can be hanged on the tree and each has a stamped sentiment on the back and stars inside.

OCC Mask-erade Day 2

Well, I have worked on this card more than ever before. It's for a very special wedding in August. I had to make it now as the baby comes around July and I'm not sure how I'll cope with my new schedule. :-)

The progress: stencil-making with my silhouette, masking with it, ink-blending, heat-embossing, a little bit of sewing, 3D-mounting, creating a cut file, then using its negative on my card - for this one also having to put back those itty-bitty little details of the letters. PHEW!

Quick round-up

From the cards I didn't manage to send out this year due to a long-lasting cold.

Xmas 2014 #1

Challenge: Virginia's View Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic

Supplies: cork star, stickles, christmas tree patterned paper, silhouette, gold embossing powder, baker twine

Supersecret Card

It's so secret that I'll even hide it after the CAS-Friday Polkadot challenge for this week has expired. :-)

Update: everything's been hidden. Thanks for your nice comments. 

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Summer Fruits and a Sunflower

Tried to to something summery for my mum's birthday in July. I have a bag of fruit chipboards from Scrapfellow and I found some ideas on their blog on how to use them in different ways. I love that their shiny, I think it gives them an additional dimension. :-) Also, I bought the little sunflower ages ago, I knew I wanted to put it on mum's card, so there it goes.

Challenges: 

Simon Says Stamp - Summer Fruits

All Kinds of Vehicles

This time a friend of mine asked me to make a card for their English friend. She said they both love planes and also that her friend loved the boat ride when he visited them last time in Hungary. So I included both. Then it turned out that her friend also loves riding the bicycle in the woods. And so I put also a bicycle on it. :-) I truly hoped it wouldn't turn out he loved garbage trucks, too. ;-)

I've been planing to use chipboard vehicles on cards for a long time so this was the perfect occasion for it. I also ordered some fruit chipboards and I've already made a small greeting card with strawberries for my family while I was dog-sitting at my parents' house for a weekend. I didn't have a camera on hand, but maybe I'll share it here some time.

I'd like to enter this card into the latest SSS challenge: Things with wings and IN[K]SPIRE_me Challenge #95.

PS: I seem to be obsessed with that mint washi tape but I just love it! Perfect colour.

As always, thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Easter! / Boldog húsvéti ünnepeket!

I made these Easter origami boxes for D's little nieces and nephews. Since I don't have a die cutting machine, I had to make baskets with my own hands. I saw this box first at Kristina's (see on the right among her most watched videos).

Ezeket a kis origami kosarakat D unokaöccseinek és unokahúgainak készítettem. Mivel nincs vágógépem, ez tűnt a legegyszerűbben elkészíthetőnek. Kristinánál, a fenti linken található egy angol nyelvű videó is az elkészítéséhez.

The felt embellishments were made by my godfather's wife. She makes some embellishments occasionally and then gives it to me as birthday or Xmas gift. :-)

A filc díszeket keresztapám felesége készítette. Néha készít nekem különböző díszeket a képeslapokhoz, aztán megkapom ajándékba valamilyen alkalomra. :-)

The grass is made from green washi tape...finally I could use it!

A füvet dekortapasszal készítettem...végre tudtam ezt a színt is használni megint.

I also still have some 12 x 12 textured cardstock left and these are perfect for these boxes (except that I have to be very careful because they are quite thick). I don't really use them for cards.

Még van egy rakás 12 x 12"-es alapkartonom, amit képeslapokhoz nem nagyon használok, ezeknek a mérete tökéletes az origami dobozkához (azon kívül persze, hogy nagyon kell vigyázni a hajtogatásnál, mert elég vastagok és könnyen megtörnek).

There are some Easter challenges around so I'd like to enter these baskets into the following ones:
Just Add Ink - Just Add Bunnies
CAS-ual Fridays - CFC95 Funny Bunny (I know there's a small card/tag in it, but it's not only a card... I hope it still qualifies)
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes (I just missed the Easter-themed one:)

És végre egy magyar kihívásba is beszállok, méghozzá Pippinél, ahol csak annyi a kitétel, hogy nála vásárolt összetevőkből legyen az alkotás. Nos, a kosár abból van. :-) Bővebb infó ITT. A lájkokat majd FB-n dobjátok a fényképeimre Pippi oldalán, ha kedvetek tartja, nemsokára felkerülnek.

The Tricky Vellum + Silver Embossing Combo

The vellum - silver embossing combo was really hard to catch in a photo but I swear it looks really cool in real life. :) Since this week the challenge is 'Make a cute angle' at Daring Cardmakers, I'm entering this card into their challenge. By the way, this card had to be somewhat classy and masculine as it'd go to my bf's dad in April.

Thanks for stopping by!

Random Post

I made these last weekend too. The first one is decorated with an SRM sticker and some distress ink, it used to hold caviar, now I store my tiny googly eyes in it.

Ezeket is múlt hétvégén készítettem. A kis tárolót SRM matricával és egy kis distress tintával díszítettem. Kaviáros üveg volt, most a pici rezgőszemeket tárolom benne. :))

And this one I made after seeing Julie Ebersole's very similar card. I just couldn't resist.
Ezt pedig a fent nevezett blogon láttam, és annyira megtetszett, hogy muszáj volt vmi nagyon hasonlót csinálnom.

Supplies: SRM sticker, green baker's twine from The Twinery, yellow twine from We R Memory Keepers, washi tape, Tsukineko silver ink, star sequins, acetate, red and blue ColorBox pigment inks, Paper Smooches -Alpha-dot stamp set

Have a nice weekend!

Jó hétvégét mindenkinek! :)

Customized Wrapping

I made this wrapping for my boyfriend's nephew who turned 5 last week. Why the air balloons, the baker's twine and the stylized compass? Because inside there was the 1st part of the Willy Fog dvd series – his favourite!

Supplies: orange and green baker's twine (The Twinery), Sweet Day 6x6 pad (Echo Park), Rich Cocoa dye ink (Memento),  Shelter From the Storm stamp set (Simon Says Stamp)
