Hi there! Time to present you with the last project for this year 2023, which is two twin cards made on request. One, of course, went straight to its new home and the other one is for sale and you can find it in my shop on Etsy - here . The background is paper from the 'Breeze of Dreams' collection from Margaret Paper Design. The edges, of course, are sewn on the machine. The main attraction is the girl under the umbrella. it is rare for me to stamp and then colour the stamps. I always have the feeling that I'm not very good at it and somehow I avoid it. But it's also good to expand one's boundaries from time to time, right? So the Pro markers went into action and the girl's stamp is of course Gorjuss.  The composition is fantastically enriched by the wonderful cardboard doily , which I cut in half and each half ended up on one card. It is painted with white acrylic paint, and I also added some Firebird wax and 3D dots from Novo in silver.  The umbrella is a tri...

  Hi there! A male project is a challanging experience! I haven't yet had a situation where I immediately know what I'm going to come up with when such an order comes in. I have a trick for this, which so far has worked out great. I ask my lovely customers about the likes and hobbies of the gentleman receiving the card. Someone would say I'm complicating things for myself, but for me it really is making it easier. It takes me a while to figure out how to use the information I've gathered, but then the work just rolls on by itself. So, as you can guess, this time it was a gentleman with a love of motorbikes. Come on, I'll tell you more! As a base I used the papers from the "Breeze of Dreams" collection from Margaret Paper Design. I cut out small elements from the cover of the collection: a woman with suitcases, kittens on chains and a motorbike. I glued these small elements with cardboard underneath for a 3D effect. The edges of the base are stitched on the...

 Hi all! The decor I'm presenting today is the result of my work during a live meeting on the "Cudna Paczka" Facebook group. Some time ago, I volunteered to do a project on the vision theme of women's power. Only then I began to search for the colloquial understanding of this slogan, and I cannot hide the fact that I was somewhat taken aback by it. Well, the most popular vision is simply vulgar.... And this is not what was in my mind when I volunteered to do this task. So I decided to stick to my standards, according to which a woman, whether alone or with the support of other women, is an extraordinary power! Because who can do it if not us?! :) Therefore, in the frame you will see a lioness who has just returned from a hunt, exhausted, smeared in blood but confident and dignified. I wouldn't want to stand in her way at this moment. I found the lioness figure perfectly in harmony with the luscious colours from the November moodboard challenge.  See the poster bel...
