In this card I wanted to make a snow-like sparkling effect. I lightly painted the card with decorating paste and covered it with glitter. I experimented and although I did not expect this kind of effect, I like it. I added Magnolia's Jingle Bell Tilda coloured with Promarkers, a red bow and poinsettia.

I got the idea for this Christmas tree on Pinterest. It is very simple to make and it looks nice.

This card looks like a picture frame. I used Tina's stamps of cones and pine branches to embellish it in 'winter style'.

I found the poinsettia image of the flower on Bird’s Cards webpage and coloured it with Promarkers.

Another card with a picture.
I made the 'snow effect' around the picture using decorating paste and glitter.

In this card I incorporated a picture of the beautiful winter nature in a place I call home.

Tina and Vladka started a new challenge called "Ko me inspirira #20", meaning "When it inspires me". The rule is very simple - to be inspired by another Slovenian crafter.


I found the digi image of the reindeer on the Honking Donkey webpage and coloured it with Promarkers.

Another set of small-sized Christmas cards. Here I used a lovely Sliekje’s free digi stamp image which I coloured with Promarkers.

This one is just the opposite of my previous post. I got the idea for this card on Pinterest. I really liked it and decided to give it a try and create something different than usual. I made two versions, in red and green colour and I think I may try other (non-Christmas) colours as well.

I cut the tree using Yvonne Creation’s Die Cutting & Embossing Stencil (Christmas tree) and covered it with various embellishments, including buttons.

I made this card after seeing Tina's tutorial. I would probably never try something like that and I learned that I can make a very simple and beautiful card without complicating too much.

Another star-shaped card, which is quite small compared to a regular-sized card, but there is still enough space inside to write good wishes.

That Craf Place - Stars

It is already December and very soon we will start decorating our homes… I already decorated this card where I used a stamped image of a Christmas ornament (I really like these stamps with seams which I borrowed from Natali; you can see them in my other posts as well).

Two days ago the first snow in this season covered our village in white. Unfortunately there was just little of it and it melted very soon, so the kids couldn’t enjoy making a snowman. However I made my own snowman in this card.

Our crafting colleague Tina designed her own line of stamps and stencils under the name Najepši Par "The most beautiful couple" (also in Spanish – La Pareja Creativa). I liked her collection from the moment I saw it and two days ago I couldn’t help myself to order my own set of stamps and stencils.
I had so much fun playing with it!

December is approaching fast and soon it will be time to send Christmas / New Year cards.

I know we are at the beginning of November, but time flies so fast that New Year will be here in a bit. An idea of a desk calendar came into my mind and I would like to share it with you.


I cut a strip of cardboard (6 x 34 cm).


I marked where to fold it.


I fold it using a ruler and burnisher.



You can see the exact sizes here:


At the end it should look like that:


I glued the front part (the 1 cm one) and stick it to the longer (13 cm) part. You can help yourself with little clothespins.



Before gluing the last part, I embellished the upper front part.


Then I glued the last (0,5 cm) part.


At the end I added the calendar, which I bought at the local stationer's shop.
