Bombki świąteczne DIY/Christmas balls DIY

My first christmas balls. Actually only first one is, lets say, typical. 

Two sheperds and gold star.

and three Kings with their presents.

On the splice red pearls and green flourish - not so good but first in my life on plastic ball so I can stand it ;)

I bought also two flat, wood circles with small hole. Better for experiments and I think it looks better.
I stuck cones from  napkin and than I painted with acrylic paint green branches, red dots and snow.

On the other side snowy houses and embossed inscription. And of course grey half pearls.

I did second flat ball for my best friend as a small gift before christmas for her new flat.
One side is with snowman in the middle, other things again painted - also snowflakes :)

Up is silver, wood angel.

The other side two playing kids - from napkin - background again painted with acrylic paits.

Up silver, wood snowflake.

Everything hang on balls holder :)

Short text but before Christmas pictures are more important :D

Time for Presents and Christmas packaging!/Czas na prezenty i świąteczne opakowania!

One week before Christmas is time for wrapping all presents - don't leave it for last minute ;)

But this year I decided to do it by my own, without "special tools" just by using my paper trimmer and bone folder.

I did first time (!!) so I begun from one 30*30 scrapbooking card, and....

I added just brown ribbon. And package for first present completed :)

So I could go for higher level :P Blue paper bag and on the frond side caroling people picture. I really love it.

On top silver ribbon and finished.

Next level something more. On the front side christmas girl with Holidays accents - green and gold glitter.

The back side paper with snowflake cut and word "enjoy".
On top not only ribbon but also cutted snowlakes.

Than blue box - for something for my husband but I cannot tell what (it should be surpise ;)
Front with wishes:

And back with snowman:

At the end I found smooth, white piece of paper and colour craft foam. So I did that:

I cut christmas tree and ecru snowflakes. On top red ribbon and I'm ready.

Now I just have to think how I could wrap bigger gifts. Hmmmm....

I forgot about Christmas tags, presents, small christmas balls and sweet bird on it - colored with differet inks :D

DIY maska. Jak stworzyć swoją własną maskę do embossing w trzech krokach? / DIY mask. How to create your own embossing mask in three steps?

Myślałam, że taśma malarska jest bezużyteczna podczas wycinania w maszynce Sizzix Big Shot, gdyż czasem przylepia się do powierzchni, na której pracuję (czytaj: papierowych elementów J. Ale z czasem, tworzeniem większej ilości projektów widzę, że czasami naprawdę się przydaje. W związku z tym używam taśmy malarskiej do tworzenia swoich własnych masek. Te gotowe są czasem drogie, czasem tak lubię swoje wykrojniki, że chciałabym mieć swoją własną maskę o takim właśnie wzorze. Dlatego stworzyłam sposób tworzenia swoich masek, który jest przydatny podczas pracy z tuszami lub pastami strukturalnymi.

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

I thought that painting tape is useless because during die cuts in Sizzix Big Shot sometimes it glues to the working surface (read: paper elements ;).  But with time and more projects I see that it sometimes really helps. That’s why I use painting tape to do my own mask. This ready are sometimes expensive, sometimes I love some of my own die cuts and I want to have some as a mask too. So I create this way, which is helpful when I work with inks or structural paste.

Potrzebujesz:

-          Taśmy malarskiej (używam taśmy szerokiej na 4 cm, ale cieńsza jest też ok)

-          Papier do drukarki (czysta kartka lub zadrukowana)

-          Nasz wykrojnik

-          Tusz(e) lub pastę strukturalną

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

You need:

-          Painting tape (I use this 4 cm wide but thinner are also ok)

-          Printing paper (clear or with printed side)

-          Our die cut

-          Ink(s) or structural paste

1.      Nalepiam na papier taśmę malarską, pasek przy pasku z obu stron( dzięki temu nasza praca będzie bezpieczna, gdyż  papier pod taśmą nie będzie mokry).
----------------------------------------
Glue paper with painting tape, stripe near stripe in a both sides of paper (because of painting tape paper under it wouldn’t be wet and our work is secure).

2.      Następnie umieszczam na obklejonym kawałku wykrojnik, w miejscu, które najbardziej mi odpowiada.
----------------------------------------
Than put your die cut on it, there where you want to place it.

3     Nasza maska jest gotowa do użycia!
----------------------------------------
Our mask is ready to use!

     I można wykorzystać :)

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

     And you can use it :)
