Birthday Bouquet - Synttärikimppu

Made a birthday card with my very first Teeny Tiny Townie by Stamping Bella, this one is called 'Teeny Tiny Townie with a bouquet'. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and die cut the panel with Stitched Stackers die by Penny Black. I then stamped my sentiment and added a few tiny sequins as my embellishments. For the background I used a bit of patterned paper.

Challenges:
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #334 - CAS
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

Tein synttärikortin ihkaensimmäisellä Teeny Tiny Townie -leimallani, tämä on siis Stamping Bellan Teeny Tiny Townie with a Bouquet. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin Stitched Stackers -setin stanssilla. Tekstileima on Vilda Stampsin ja koristeina pieniä paljetteja. Taustalle laitoin hieman kuviopaperia.

Banner with flowers - Banneri kukkineen

I don't think I've ever used this image from the Best Buds set by Paper Smooches even though I've had the set for ages now so it was about time I used it. I did quick Copic colouring on it, stamped the sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) and die cut the image out. Then I took a piece of patterned paper and die cut the circle on it, adhered it to my card base and adhered the image on the circle. I also added tiny clear sequins to embellish the card (in the photo, they are not really visible against the white background but are around the banner).

Challenges:
* Penny Black and More: March - Going round in circles
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Cute

Minulla on ollut Paper Smoochesin Best Buds -setti jo hyvän aikaa, mutta en ole koskaan käyttänyt tätä leimakuvaa, joten nyt oli korkea aika. Väritin sen pikaisesti Copiceilla, leimasin tekstin ja stanssasin leimakuvan. Taustan kuviopaperiin stanssasin ympyrän, kiinnitin paperin korttipohjaan ja leimakuvan sen päälle. Koristeiksi laitoin jokusen pienen kirkkaan paljetin.

Penny Black: Happy Birthday! - Hyvää syntymäpäivää!

I made a birthday card with this cutie of a mouse who seems to be flying his magic flower to deliver his birthday present :) The stamped image is from the new Critter Celebration set by Penny Black, I coloured the image with my Zig Markers and sponged a bit of blue Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the image. The sentiment is from the set Snippets. I created the frame with the new Swirly Stitches dies and attached it to the image. For the background, I used patterned paper from the Beau Jardin paper pad and a 'belt' die cut with the new Burlap Edge die. As my finishing touches, I added some small clear sequins to the image.

Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Cute
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: March - Anything Goes
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #131 - Inspired by Words 'Hugs, Kisses and A Lot of Birthday Wishes'

Penny Black products used:

* Critter Celebration #30-542

* Swirly Stitches #51-502

* Burlap Edge #51-504

* Snippets #30-283

* Beau Jardin #80-011

Tämä suloinen hiiri lentää ilmojen halki maagisella kukallaan tuomaan synttärilahjaa :) Leimakuva on leimattu Penny Blackin uudella Critter Celebration -setillä, väritin sen Zigeillä ja lisäsin sinistä Distress Oxidea reunoille. Tekstileima on Snippets-setistä. Kehyksen stanssasin uusilla Swirly Stitches -setin stansseilla ja kiinnitin kuvaan. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja vyötteen, jonka stanssasin Penny Blackin uudella Burlap Edge -stanssilla.

Tulips - Tulppaanit

I had a play with my new Create a Smile stamps. These are from the Tender Tulips set and they are big and beautiful! I coloured them with my Copic Markers and fussy cut them out. On my card base, I sponged some Distress Oxide ink through a Create a Smile stencil called Scattered Hearts and added a frame die cut with a Penny Black die from the Ribbon Stackers set. I actually mounted two die cut frames on top of each other to make it a bit thicker so that it might visually stand out a bit more from the background. The sentiment is from the Uniko stamp set Pure Florals: Peony.

Challenges:
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #131 - Inspired by Words "Hugs, Kisses and a lot of Birthday Wishes" (Happy 5th birthday, TIME OUT Challenges!)
* Inkspirational: Challenge #182 - Bedroom Photo (I was inspired by the yellow and tan in the photo as well as the shape of the headboard, I think the Ribbon Stackers die mimics that in a CAS way)

Käytin tähän korttiin uusia leimojani. Nämä ihanat isot tulppaanit ovat Tender Tulips -setistä, väritin ne Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Korttipohjaan tein sydämiä Distress Oxide -musteella ja Create a Smilen Scattered Hearts -sabluunalla. Kehykset tein Penny Blackin Ribbon Stackers -stanssilla, stanssasin kehyksiä kaksi ja kiinnitin ne päällekkäin. Tekstileima on Unikon Pure Florals: Peony -setistä.

Peony - Pioni

I was recently lucky enough to win at Less Is More Challenge and as my prize, I chose the Pure Florals: Peony set from Uniko and what a gorgeous set it is! I just had to make a card with it as soon as it arrived. I stamped the largest peony from the set on X-Press It blending card and coloured it with my Copic Markers. I die cut the panel with a die from the Stitched Square and Circles set by Penny Black, added some Distress Oxide ink with my brush to the edges, stamped the sentiment (it's from the same Uniko set as is the flower) and added some clear sequins. For the background I used a piece of patterned paper.

Challenges:
* Uniko: Challenge #52 - Spring (not sure when peonies are supposed to bloom, but for me spring means flowers, so I hope this qualifies)
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #332 - Make Your Mark
* Allsorts Challenge Blog: Week 511 - Favourite Stamp (florals in general are my favourites and my favourite stamp is usually the newest I have ;) )
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Feminine/Girly

Voitin hiljattain Less Is More -haasteessa ja palkinnokseni valitsin tämän ihanan Pure Florals: Peony -setin Unikolta. Väritin pionin Copiceilla, stanssasin paneelin irti Penny Blackin Stitched Square and Circles -setin stanssilla, lisäsin vähän Distress Oxidea reunoihin ja leimasin tekstin (joka on samasta Unikon setistä kuin kukkakin). Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja koristeeksi kirkkaita paljetteja.

Roses on your special day - Ruusuja merkkipäivänäsi

I decided to play along with a few challenges today and create this floral card. The stamps I've used are by Winnie & Walter, except the sentiment (it says 'On your special day' in Finnish). I did a bit of masking to create the bouquet and then coloured the image with my Copic Markers. I die cut the panel with a Penny Black die from the set Stitched Stackers, and heat embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder. After adhering the panel to red cardbase, I added some clear sequins to embellish it.

Challenges:
* Winnie & Walter: 5th Birthday Bash - Five Challenge with Shay (Five roses)
* Winnie & Walter: 5th Birthday Bash - 3+ Stamp Set Challenge with Kelly (The roses and the different leaves are from the Winnie & Walter In Bloom stamp sets Elsa's Flora, Addie's Garden, and Anna's Flora, and then there's the Finnish sentiment)
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #331 - Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Feminine/Girly (is there anything more feminine than a bouquet of roses?)

Tämä kortti syntyi muutaman haasteen innoittamana. Ruusu-leimat ja lehdet ovat Winnie & Walterin leimoja, maskasin kahta eri kokoa ruusuja kimpuksi ja väritin ne Copiceilla. Paneelin stanssasin Penny Blackin stanssilla setistä Stitched Stackers and tekstin embossasin valkoisella. Kiinnitin paneelin tummanpunaiseen korttipohjaan ja lisäsin muutaman kirkkaan paljetin koristeeksi.

Plumeria - Temppelipuu

Sometimes I really love colouring stamped images with my Copic Markers (mostly when it's going well.. ;D ) and this was one of those times. I really like this stamp by Stamplorations, it's called Precious Plumerias, and it was a joy to colour with the Copics. I didn't want to overcrowd the image so I simply stamped my sentiment (it says 'Congratulating you'), matted the panel onto cardstock and card base, and added some sequins.

Challenge:
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #331 - Anything Goes

Vesivärit ovat minulle jotenkin helpommat, mutta joskus on kiva värittää Copiceillakin (yleensä silloin, kun se sujuu... ;D ) ja tällä kertaa se oli sekä kivaa että sujui. Tämä leimakuva on Stamplorationsin Precious Plumerias ja se on niin nätti, etten viitsinyt siihen paljoa muuta härpäkettä laittaa, vain tekstileiman ja jokusen paljetin.  
(En muuten tiedä, onko 'plumeria' suomeksi temppelipuu mutta näin google kertoi, joten sillä mennään :D )

Kukkaoksa - Floral branch

Synttärikorttivaraston täydennystä, tällä kertaa Clearly Besottedin Beautiful Friend -leimalla. Väritin kukkaoksan Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja MFT:n stanssilla stanssatun paneelin, johon leimasin Vilda Stampsin leimalla tekstin. Koristeita en laittanut tällä kertaa, vaan ajattelin antaa kukkaoksan olla keskipisteenä.

I made this birthday card with 'Beautiful Friend' stamp by Clearly Besotted. I coloured it with my Copic Markers and die cut it out. In the background, I placed a piece of patterned paper and a panel die cut with an MFT die. I stamped my sentiment straight onto the panel. I also decided to let the beautiful stamped image take the center stage and did not add any embellishments.

Täysin Evelyn - Altogether Evelyn

Tein yhden ystävänpäiväkortin Stamping Bellan leimalla. Tämä ihana neitokainen on Altogether Evelyn, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Tekstileima on Paper Smoochesin MFT:n stanssilla stanssattuun banneriin leimattuna. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja Altenew'n stanssilla stanssatun kehyksen.

I made this friendship card with a Stamping Bella stamp. This lovely young lady is called Altogether Evelyn and I coloured her with my Copic Markers and fussy cut her out. The sentiment is a stamp by Paper Smooches, I stamped it onto a banner that I die cut with an MFT die. In the background I placed some patterned paper and a frame that I die cut with an Altenew die.

Koristeiksi laitoin muutaman pienen timantin.

I made this card for a couple of challenges: took the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch and the colours from Less Is More. The feathers I used are from the 'Funky Feathers' set by Create a Smile, I coloured them with my Copics.

Kukkaset purkeissaan - Potted flowers

Lunta sataa ulkona valkoisenaan  mutta ainakin kortissa on kevään tuntua :) Nämä kukkaset ovat Penny Blackin Potted Flowers -leimasin, jonka leimasin suoraan vesivärikartongista taittelemaani korttipohjaan. Väritin leimakuvan Gansai Tambi -vesiväreillä ja mustetin reunoja Distress Oxide -musteella. Tekstileima on Penny Blackin Snippets-setistä ja sen embossasin valkoisella mustalle kartonkipalaselle. Lopuksi vain hieman nyöriä rusetille.

It's snowing outside but at least I have spring on my card :) The stamp I used is Penny Black's 'Potted Flowers' which I stamped straight onto card base that I folded out of watercolour cardstock. I coloured the image with my Gansai Tambi watercolours and sponged some Distress Oxide ink onto the edges. The sentiment I used is from 'Snippets' set by Penny Black, I heat embossed it in white onto a strip of black cardstock. Lastly, I added some twine to finish the card.

Haasteita kerrakseen - Challenges, challenges

Päätimme ihanan ystäväni Nonnin kanssa haastaa itsemme ja tehdä kortit leimalla, joka molemmilla on. Yhteiseksi leimaksi valikoitui Concord&9th:n Hello Lovely. Lisäksi päätin itse vielä haastaa itseni käyttämään muita värejä kuin pinkkiä. Haastetta siis riitti mutta tällainen kortti syntyi. Väritin tämän Zigeillä ja lisäisin vähän valkoista geelikynää kukkiin. Paneelin stanssasin My Favorite Thingsin stanssilla. Tekstileiman embossasin valkoisella MFT:n stanssilla stanssattuun banneriin ja kiinnitin sen kohotarroilla.  Lopuksi vain paneeli kiinni korttipohjaan.

My lovely friend Nonni and I decide to challenge ourselves and make a card with a stamp set that we both have. One of such sets is 'Hello Lovely' by Concord&9th and that is what we decided to use. I personally challenged myself further: to use anything but pink in my flowers... This is what I came up with. I coloured the image with my Zig Markers and added a bit of white gel pen to the flowers. I die cut the panel with a My Favorite Things die and heat embossed my sentiment in white on a banner die cut with a MFT die. Then I simply attached my panel to a dark grey card base.
