Luggage / Key Tags

Hello everyone,

For today's post , I have a quick tutorial on how to create luggage / key tags, using Tiny Tabs & Tags die from Sizzix. They would make a great mini accent on your bags or keys. I made one with my adress and personal information for when I travel. But if you are like me and like inspirational quotes then you can print or write your favorite quote and make it into a tag.

Also, check out the Spring SALE. Up to 85% off.

Azi o sa va arat cum puteti face o eticheta / breloc, pentru geanta sau chei. Am folosit o matrita de la Sizzix. Puteti folosi, carton colorat, material sau fetru. Daca aveti o masina pentru laminare, atunci va recomand sa o folositi, daca faceti etichete tip breloc din hartie. Click aici pentru tutorial!

Creamy Pea soup

Hello everyone,

When it comes to cooking, I try to make new things. I had some peas in my freezer and wanted to use them. But, to make what?! Well, I must say I don't eat creamy soups. Maybe because I like my mom's traditional soups. However, I really wanted to try to make a creamy pea soup.

To be honest, I like it! Not bad! But a bit too heavy for my sensitive stomach. The soups we make  are a bit different. So, a creamy soup is like: stew sauce to me. But in the end, the taste is very nice. I like it.

I made my own recipe. If you know how to make the ''original'' pea soup, please let me know in the comments below.

You will need:

• 1 white onion
• 1 spring onion (scallion)
• 1 small red pepper ( or red pepper paste) 
• 1 small carrot 
• 1/2 teaspoon Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot
• salt
• pepper
• smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp greek yoghurt/ sour cream
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 cup of peas
• 1 cup of warm water

How to:

• Chop the onion, red pepper, spring onion and carrot 
• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry it for about 2 minutes. 
• Add the rest of the veggies, warm water, vegetable stock and bring it to the boil.
• Add 1 tbsp of greek yoghurt/ sour cream and use a blender to liquidise the soup.
• If the soup is too thick,add some boiling water.
• Add salt and pepper 

For my soup, I put 1 tbsp of greek yoghurt over, smoked paprika and shredded chicken.

This is my take on creamy pea soup. I am not a chef, but I like trying new things. This recipe works great if you have the ingredients in the fridge and you want something quick and tasty to eat.

Easter bunny

Hello blogcreatures,

I think it's been a while, since I made a shaker card/tag. Today is the day I share a new one, I made for Lia Stampz ,using a lovely bunny design. There is a new challenge over at Lia Stampz called: add ribbon.  If you want to play along, please check out the blog.

Cred ca a trecut ceva timp de cand am facut o felicitare/tag gen: shaker. Azi va arat o noua creatie, facuta pentru Lia Stampz. Pentru creatia de azi am folosit o stampila digitala. Noua provocare este sa adaugi panglica. Daca doresti sa participi, atunci te rog sa vizitezi blogul.

Beautiful / Sizzix Big Shot Plus Kit

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter. We are just getting ready to celebrate our Easter this weekend and I just want to share a few things before that. I made a wonderful card,using beautiful dies from Sizzix. For this card I used only a few supplies, but the result is just lovely!

Daca ati petrecut deja Pastele, sper ca a fost unul minunat. Noi ne pregatim in weekendul acesta. Inainte de asta, vreau sa va arat noua felicitare pe care am facut-o folosind matrite Sizzix.

Only a crafter knows the real happiness of a new crafty toy! I am so happy to play with the new amazing Big Shot Plus from Sizzix.  I really love the new design! 

This Big Shot Plus machine is much bigger than the ''classic''Big Shot. I am so happy that now I can use large dies to cut paper, fabric and other bits. You can find more inspiration and ideas from the wonderful Sizzix design team , using this new machine, dies and other interesting supplies.


Numai o persoana pasionata de lucru manual stie adevarata fericire, atunci cand primeste o noua jucarie. Sunt fericita ca ma pot juca si bucura de noua masina Big Shot Plus de la Sizzix. Ador noul design. 

Big Shot Plus este mult mai mare decat clasica masina Big Shot. Acum pot folosi matrite de dimensiuni mari sa tai carton, hartie, material, si altele. Puteti gasi idei si inpiratie pe blogul Sizzix , folosind aceasta masina, matrite si atele materiale.
