Playdate Monday with Concord & 9th and Chameleon pens

Hello there, sweet friends!

I'm really happy being here and show my cards made with Concord & 9th products and Chameleon pens. This was my first attempt working with Concord & 9th and I really really love the quality and the design.

Here's my card no. 1

I prepared instructions to this card and you can download them at  Chameleon blog → HERE. 

And here's card no. 2 

To make this card I die cut these adorable balloons from the Concord & 9th Happy Balloons die set, colored all of them with Royal Blue (BL6) and Blue Violet (BV4)  Chameleon pens. A few strokes with Chameleon pencils. I love blue + gold color combination very much. To make the card a bit softer and more feminine I added Honey Gold Nuvo Glitter Drops and pink patterned paper. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Yummy cards ft Maya Road and Chameleon pens

Hello there!
Today is Friend Friday with Maya Road brand and Chameleon pens. What a great blend I should say!

I like to think up creative usage for the dies that seem very simple. For example that card below is made with Enjoy Coffee Die Bundle and I made a cup with three scoops of ice-cream. Colored the die cuts with Chameleon pens.

Die cut the word Enjoy several times and adhered them all together to get very thick dimensional piece.

Here's the actual die bundle:

The second card is all about friendship overseas :)

You can find downloadable instructions right → HERE ←at Chameleon pens blog on how to make this card. Really fun!

Love this card so much and already sent it to my friend and co-worker from the USA.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

"You're wonderful" card

Hello, crafty friends!

Today I've come here with smth very feminine and delicate, a card for my University friend. In some days she has a birthday and I wanted to make a card in soft colors for her. She's really wonderful and I highlighted it in die cut words.

The design is quite versatile and can easily fit Wedding theme.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Всем привет!

Пришла я сегодня с очень нежной работой для моей дорогой подруги со времени универа. Мне хотелось сделать какую-то очень изящную женственную открытку для нее. Она сама по себе удивительный человек, готовый всегда прийти на помощь, подсказать, поддержать советом и просто добрым словом. Таких людей очень мало в моей жизни и поэтому, наверное, очень ценен каждый из них.

There's Russian paper brand that releases wonderful paper on snow white background ( with rare thing here), thick sheets and amazing motives for cutting out. This brand is called Magic Creative ( you can find it on Instagram with this name). I cut out several flowers as well as wood slices and made cluster adding several die cut beaded stems.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

У нас есть один интересный производитель бумаги, у которого мне посчастливилось поработать в дизайн команде, который называется Магия Творчества. У них очень плотная бумага, с белоснежным фоном ( что большая редкость сейчас) и невероятными листами для вырезания. Я взяла для этой работы листы для вырезания из коллекции Шепот ветра. Товарищи, вы не представляете, какая это красивая коллекция. Я купила только два листа, и, наверное жалею, что не купила весь набор. Он очень атмосферный, теплый, рустикальный.

Дизайн открытки довольно универсальный и с легкостью может подойти для свадебной открытки.

The word Winderful is by Concord&9th called Wonderful Words dies. I really adore die cut words and in mirror cardstock in particular.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Слово Wonderful из набора ножей бренда Concord &9th, называется Wondeful Words. Очень мне нравятся вырубные слова, особенно из фольгированного картона. Так же добавила белые тычинки от Fantasy. Что касается кружевной полоски под цветами - это кружевной скотч, купила его 100 лет назад и вот, пригодился))

Спасибо большое за внимание! Отличного всем дня!

Rosy Dot dies & Chameleon pens

Hello there!

It's Friend Friday at Chameleon blog with Rosy Owl company and their amazing dies. I'll try to inspire you with my cards to try these products together, I mean the Chameleon pens and the Rosy Owl dies.

This is a shaker card I made using Rosy Owl dies, foamiran, iron and Chameleon pens:

Wreath MG1

Flowers AC3

I cut the flowers with flower shaped dies, colored the centres with Chameleon pens and lean them (one by one) against hot iron ( be careful), waited a second or two and they fell curled on my table. Magically and so easy! I think i will never be using paper again to create my flowers, only foamiran.

I really like how this card turned out!

My second card is Christmas themed and I also like it so much.

There is a downloadable instruction on how to make this card, you can find it → HERE at Chameleon blog.

Thank tou so much for stopping by! Hope I managed to insire you :)

Have a nice day!

My friend card ft Mo's digital pencil

Hello there!

Today I'd like to share with you a card for my lovely friend to remind her never stop dreaming. For that purpose I used Life is like a balloon image by Mo's digital pencil that i colored with Chameleon pens. It's a part of our September challenge we have at Facebook → HERE ( the current challenge is stuck to the top), all the designers use the same image and it's so cool as we all use it in a different way.

For the background panel I used Gold glitter paste by Bo Bunny, fab product!

It's hard to me to catch the sparkle by my camera but trust me I covered the balloons with Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a nice day!

Tulip bouquet ft So Suzy stamps

Hello there!

I'm so inspired by the latest So Suzy release so I continue making cards with those stamps having in mind that Sept 2nd will be a new release with my desings Christmas related. Abit later about it. 

Wanted to make some autumn bouquet with maple and oak leaves even though tulips were spring flowers. First colored them in mauve color but they didn't stood out that much and I changed the color to red. Like them more this way.

Stamped the Tulips stamp by So Suzy ( designed by me) two times to cut out some fragments and layer them onto a whole bouquet to add dimension. Colored the flowers with alcohol Chameleon pens. Sprinkled with white acrylic paint.

Also added some die cut leaves sponged with distress inks and die cut stamens.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a nice day!
