Hello - Hei

I really like this floral stamp by My Favorite Things. It's called Floral Focus and for this card, I only used a part of it. I coloured it with my Copics and die cut it with the matching die. I die cut the tag behind the flower with a WPlus9 die and the 'hello' with a die by Simply Graphic. I placed some pretty patterned paper on my cardbase and adhered the tag with the flower on it with foam adhesives. Lastly, I embellished the card with some sticky back pearls.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* MFT Sketch Challenge #483
* Inkspirational: Challenge #210 - Spring
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC265 - Anything Goes with a Feminine Twist
* Penny Black and More: April - Anything Goes

Tähän korttiin käytin MFT:n Floral Focus -leimaa, tai oikeammin osaa siitä. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustan tagin stanssasin WPlus9:n stanssilla ja tekstin Simply Graphicin stanssilla. Taustalle hieman kuviopaperia ja tagi kukkineen kiinni kohotarroilla, koristelu puolihelmillä.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge: April - Huhtikuu

It's April and time for a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. As always, the theme is 'Anything Goes' but if you want a bit of creative nudge, the optional theme is 'Ribbon/Twine'.  Please do join us, there is a prize up for grabs for the winner.

For my card, I die cut a panel with Simple Stackers die by Penny Black onto which I stamped the pretty vase with flowers from the set From the Garden. I coloured the image with my Copics and stamped the dots on the vase. I stamped my sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) onto a strip of pink cardstock, tied a twine into a bow on it and adhered it in place. I then stamped the brick wall with the background stamp Brick Wall by Penny Black straight onto my cardbase and adhered the panel onto it with foam adhesives. Lastly, I embellished my card with some sequins.

Please hop over to Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog for details on how to enter and to see the gorgeous cards made by my team mates.



Huhtikuu tarkoittaa uutta haastetta Penny Black Saturday Challengessä. Aihe on aina 'Anything Goes' eli kaikki käy, valinnaisena aiheena tällä kertaa on 'Ribbon/Twine' eli narua, nyöriä tai nauhaa saa kortissa käyttää. Ja palkintokin voittajalle on tiedossa, joten kannattaa osallistua!

Omaan korttiini stanssasin paneelin Simple Stackers -stanssilla ja leimasin siihen vaasin kukkineen From the Garden -setistä. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja leimasin pilkut vaasiin. Tekstileiman leimasin kartonkistripille, johon laitoin myös rusetin nyöristä. Korttipohjaan leimasin Brick Wall -leimalla vähän kuviota ja kiinnitin paneelin paikoilleen kohotarroilla. Lopuksi koristelin kortin paljeteilla.

Flowers - Kukat

A little encouragement card I made with the beautiful floral stamps by Stamping Bella. The flowers are from the sets Straight Up Floral and Daisy Floral and I coloured the images with my Copic markers before die cutting them with the matching dies. I die cut the frame with Leaf Stitched Frames dies by Penny Black, added a bit of patterned paper in the background and stamped the sentiment from the Penny Black set Blooming Sentiments.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Spring Mood Board
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #158 - Lots or a Little Purple, optional twist 'Friendship'

Tällainen kortti syntyi parilla Stamping Bellan leimasetillä. Kukat ovat seteistä Straight Up Floral ja Daisy Floral, väritin ne Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin Penny Blackin Leaf Stitched Florals -stansseilla, laitoin taustalle kuviopaperia ja leimasin tekstileiman Penny Blackin setistä Blooming Sentiments.

Hugs - Haleja

I'm going to send some paper hugs to a friend with this card :) The image I used is Squishy Cats by Stamping Bella, I coloured it with my Copics and used the matching die to die cut it. 'Hugs' is a word die by Winnie & Walter and the frame is die cut with simple rectangle dies. To finish the card, I rounded the bottom corners.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes 

Tällä kortilla lähtee halaukset ystävälle :) Leimakuva on Stamping Bellan Squishy Cats, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Teksti on stanssattu Winnie & Walterin stanssilla ja taustan kehys perussuorakulmiostansseilla. Lopuksi pyöristin kortin alakulmat.

Believe in tomorrows - Uskoa huomiseen

I felt the need to just sit down, colour and make a card today to clear my mind, and this is what I made. I used the sweet Curvy Girl Gardener by Stamping Bella, coloured her with my Copics and die cut her out. For the background, I used some patterned papers and coloured cardstock and die cut the cardstock and cream coloured patterned paper with a Simon Says Stamp die to create the curvy edge. The sentiment I used comes with the Gardener stamp. To embellish the card, I used some simple twine tied into a bow.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #382 - Make Your Mark

Tänään piti istua omien ajatustensa kanssa, joten värittelin ja tein kortin. Leimakuva on Stamping Bellan ihana Curvy Girl Gardener, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle käytin kuviopapereita ja kartonkia, joista osan stanssasin Simon Says Stampin stanssilla kaarevaksi. Tekstileima on samaisesta Gardener-leimasetistä. Koristeena käytin vain nyöriä.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Unforgettable

I created this card with the absolutely gorgeous stamp by Penny Black called Unforgettable. I stamped it onto a panel of watercolour paper and coloured with my watercolours. I then stamped the sentiment from Blooming Sentiments set onto the upper corner and sponged some green Distress Oxide ink onto the three edges of the panel before adhering it onto kraft coloured cardstock and then my card base.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Stamping Sensations: Spring Florals (my 3rd entry)

Tämän kortin tein Penny Blackin uudella leimalla Unforgettable, jonka leimasin vesiväripaperille ja väritin vesiväreillä. Tekstileima on Blooming Sentiments -setistä. Mustetin paneelin reunoja Distress Oxide -musteella, kerrostin kartongille ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan.

It's time for a mid-way reminder at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is 'Anything Goes' with the optional theme of 'Think Spring'. There is a prize up for grabs as well, 1-2-3 Stitch is giving our winner a USD20 voucher.

I went with the optional Think Spring theme which I associate with flowers (oh I cannot wait to see flowers popping up!) and decided to use this gorgeous new floral stamp from Penny Black called Springtime Sigh. I watercoloured the image and fussy cut it out. I stamped the sentiment from the Blooming Sentiments set onto a little sign that I die cut with the new Sign set. For the background, I used a piece of patterned paper from Beau Jardins paper pad and added a pink panel die cut with Stitches of Love die. Lastly, I embellished my card with a ribbon tied into a bow and some enamel dots.
