...on haasteena tällä kertaa P*skarteluhaasteessa. Ruudukosta valitsin itselleni rivin vihreä-kraft-valkoinen ja värkkäsin niistä tällaisen. Hero Artsin kukat embossasin valkoisella ja kiinnitin ruudukoksi ensin ruskealle ja sitten kraftin väriselle kartongille ja kiinnitin tarrapaloilla korttipohjaan. Korttipohjan olin leimannut Heron Newspaper Background -leimalla. Koristeeksi laitoin hieman juuttinarua ja vanhan napin.
...is what you can shout this week if you play along with the P*skarteluhaaste challenge where you can choose your own 'bingo line' and make a card according to that. I chose as my line 'green-kraft-white' and this is what I made. First I heat embossed the Hero Arts flowers (if you need to know what the stamps are called, let me know, otherwise I won't list them here) with white embossing powder on green cardstock squares and then I attached them to first brown, and then kraft cardstock. Then I attached that panel onto the card base with foam pads, but before that I had stamped the card base with the Hero Arts Newspaper Background stamp. As embellies there's some jute twine and a vintage button.

All you need...
Pikainen kortti pikaisesti näytille :) Maskasin tähän korttiin tuon keskiosan post-it -lapuilla ja mustetin Distress Inkeillä. Sitten leimasin Penny Blackin All You Need -leimalla oksat ja FinnStamperin tekstileimalla tekstin ja, niin... siinäpä se! ;)
Today I have a very quick make to show you. For this card I masked the centre panel with sticky notes and added some Distress Inks to it. Then I stamped the branches with the Penny Black stamp 'All You Need' and stamped the sentiment ('congrats'). And that's pretty much it, simple! :)
Haaste / Challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp: Anything goes!

Syksyistä - An autumn card
Tällä kertaa näytille tällainen pieni syyskortti, johon yhdistin kolme haastetta: aihe (mikä tahansa syksyyn liittyvä) ja värit tulevat Hero Artsin syyskuun haasteesta ja embossaus Simon Says Stampin haasteesta. Embossasin Hero Artsin Trees of the season -setin syksyisen leiman kirkkaalla jauheella viininpunaiselle kartongille ja kiinnitin tummanruskeaan korttipohjaan. Keltaisen kartongin kohokuvioin puukuvioiseksi ja stanssasin aukon siihen. Kiinnitin sen kohotarroilla pohjaan, että saisin hieman syvyyttä tuolle aukolle. Koristeena vain satiininauhaa ja nappi. Mitään tekstileimaa en viitsinyt tähän yhdistää, ajattelin kortin olevan monikäyttöisempi näin.
Today I'd like to show you a little autumn themed card in which I combined three challenges: the theme (anything to do with autumn) and the colours come from the Hero Arts September challenge and the embossing comes from the Simon Says Stamp challenge. For this card, I heat embossed the autumn stamp from the Hero Arts Trees of the Season set with clear powder on some wine coloured cardstock which I then attached to brown card base. I dry embossed the yellow cardstock with a woodgrain embossing folder, die cut the window and attached the whole thing with foam pads on the card base. As embellies I used a satin ribbon and a tiny button. I didn't want to use any kind of sentiment stamp for this, I thought the card is more versatile this way.
Haasteet / Challenges:
* Hero Arts: September 2012 - Fall Feast & a Colour Challenge
* Simon Says Stamp: Emboss it (heat and/or dry)

ETA: I linked this to the Simon Says Stamp blog as well as they wanted to see what everyone's been up to lately and this is my latest make :)

Tyttömäistä - Girly
Pojan ystävä täytti joku aika sitten kaksi vuotta, joten tein hänelle tällaisen kortin. Ja kun kerrankin sain tilaisuuden tehdä "tyttökortin" pistin siihen sitten roimasti kaikkea ihanaa: vaaleanpunaista, keijua, ihania nappeja, washi-teippiä... :) Leimakuva on The Greeting Farmin Flutter Anya, jonka väritin ProMarkereilla. Siipiin lisäilin hieman kimalleliimaa. Paperit ovat Bazzill Basicsiä ja koristeina tosiaan huopasydän, nappeja, timantteja, washi-teippiä ja pompulanauhaa. Melko tyttömäinen pläjäys siis! :) Kortin sisäpuolella päästin puolestaan pojan irti ja sinne syntyikin melko hieno piirrustus, en vain tajunnut ottaa siitä kuvaa :/
A friend of our son's turned two years old not long ago and I made her this card. I always get excited when I get to make a card for a girl - the same happened with this card and the end result is quite pink... ;) The stamped image is Flutter Anya by The Greeting Farm which I coloured with ProMarkers and added some glitter glue to her wings. The papers are by Bazzill Basics and as embellies there are lots of 'girly' things: a felt heart, cute buttons, pompom ribbon, rhinestones and washi tape. Our son drew a beautiful drawing on the inside of the card but I forgot to photograph it :/

Heroa heron päälle - Hero Arts, Hero Arts, Hero Arts
Tähän korttiin tuli kyllä heroa heron päälle, kaikki käyttämäni leimasimet ovat nimittäin Hero Artsin. Leimasin tuohon tagiin Wild Blossoms -leimalla, jonka olin värittänyt ensin Impress-tusseilla ja suihkinut hieman vettä päälle. Sitten leimasin tagin vielä Envelope Patternsilla. Vaaleanpunaisen tagin stanssasin Holtzin stanssilla ja leimasin Large Canvas Stripes -leimalla. Taustalla koreilee Basic Greyn paperi Newspaper Background -leimalla leimattuna. Lisänä vielä tuollainen pieni paperilärpsyke (Holtzin stanssilla stanssattu. Mies sanoi sen näyttävän ihan numero 10:ltä, itse en huomannut moista näköisyyttä ensin mutta nyt se pistää silmään joka kerta, kun kortin näen.... argh!), timantteja ja akryylimaalia.
How many Hero Arts stamps can you use on one card? I managed four on this one :) The flower on the tag is a stamp called Wild Blossoms which I coloured with Impress markers and spritzed with some water. Then I stamped the whole tag with the Envelope Patterns stamp. The pink tag is die cut with a Tim Holtz die and stamped with Large Canvas Stripes. The background paper is by Basic Grey and I stamped it with the Newspaper Background stamp. As embellies there are a tiny tab die cut with a Tim Holtz die (hubby said it looks like number 10! I didn't see it first but now it pops out to me every time I see the card... dang it!), some rhinestones and some gold acrylic paint.

Polviorsia* ja rosetti - Chevron and a rosette
Ajattelin vaihteen vuoksi tehdä kortin ilman sen kummempaa leimakuvaa ja ottaa keskipisteeksi rosetin, niitä kun ei ole hetkeen tullut väännettyä. Vahvistin tuota rosettia pilkullisella washiteipillä ja liimasin napin päälle. Washiteippiä on myös tuo turkoosi raita, siinä laitoin teipin valkoisen kartongin päälle niin, että tuo taustapaperi ei kuultaisi teipin alta. Sitten vain pari onnea-tekstiä (ne olisi voinut näin jälkeenpäin ajatellen asetella niin, että toinen osoittaisi hieman alaspäin, mutta se on myöhäistä nyt ;) ), muutama timantti ja taustapaperiksi Crate Paperin paperia.
I thought I'd make a card without a stamped image for a change and put a rosette as the focal point, as I haven't used those for ages. As I made the rosette, I strengthened it a bit with a dotty washi tape and added a button as its centre. The turquoise strip is also washi tape, I just taped a piece of white cardstock with the tape so that it would be more opaque and not show the background paper (by Crate Paper) through. The sentiment on the banners say 'congrats'. As further embellies there are a few rhinestones.
Haaste/Challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp: We're so TRENDY (neon, hexagon and/or chevron)
Kiitos, kun piipahdit ja kiitos, jos ehdit kommentoida! Tymäkkää tiistaita! :)
Thanks for having a look and for any comments you may wish to leave me! Have a great Tuesday! :)
* Koitin etsiskellä suomenkielistä vastinetta 'chevronille' ja löysin sanan polviorsi. Liekö tuossa paperissa sitten useampi polviorsi....? ;D

Hortensia ja perhosia - Hydrangea and butterflies
Pitkästä aikaa taas P*skarteluhaasteeseen, tällä kertaa haasteenahan on siis resepti: 1 nauha, 2 paperia, 3 perhosta. Näistä aineksista syntyi sitten tällainen kortti. Leimakuvana on taas Hero Artsin Hydrangea, jonka väritin Distress Markereilla. Paperit ovat Crate Paperin, nauha juuttinarua ja perhoset leikattu Marthan lävistimellä. Reseptin ulkopuolelta tähän tuli vielä tuo piparireunainen huopa ja muutama helmi.
I haven't taken part in P*skarteluhaaste challenge for a long time so now is a good time to do that. This time the challenge is a recipe: 1 ribbon, 2 papers, 3 butterflies, and this is what I made with them. The stamped image is Hydrangea by Hero Arts which I coloured with Distress Markers and fussy cut out. The papers are by Crate Paper, the ribbon is regular jute twine and the butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. There are a couple of ingredients outside the recipe on my card as well, namely the pink felt and a few pearls.

Varjoja ja siluetteja - Shadows and silhouettes
Olen hiljattain löytänyt Ebayn ihmeellisen maailman ja sieltä erityisesti vanhojen Hero Arts -leimasinten houkutukset. Oi ja voi, olisi varmasti ollut järkevämpää jättää kyseinen tutustuminen väliin... ;D No, olen sieltä muutaman vanhan Heron leimasimen ostanut ja eilen kotiutuivat ensimmäiset: ihanat shadow stamp -leimat! Niitä piti päästä heti kokeilemaan ja tällainen simppeliäkin simppelimpi kortti tuli tehtyä. Leimasin tähän siis nuo suorakulmiot Hero Artsin shadow stampilla, musteena Victorian Velvet DI. Suorakulmioiden päälle leimasin sitten Inque Boutiquen Silhouettes-setistä tuon korren. (Ja nyt kaikki kuorossa: Ja siinä se! ;D )
I have just recently found the wonderful world of Ebay and the lures of vintage Hero Arts stamps. I can feel this was something I should not have done... ;D Well, so far I have bought a few vintage Hero Arts stamps and yesterday I got my first stamps in the post. Hooray for gorgeous shadow stamps! :) I had to try one out as soon as I could and this is what I came up with. Here I stamped the rectangles with a shadow stamp using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and then I stamped the silhouette plant (whatever it is...) from the Inque Boutique set 'Silhouettes' with black ink on top of them.

Iso, isompi, JUMBO - Big, bigger, JUMBO
Tuntuu, että tulen jotenkin hitaasti mukaan näihin askartelu"trendeihin" mutta nyt sitten löytyy jumbokukkanen täältäkin ;D Katselin kauan näitä leimasimia ja ihastuin lopulta tähän Stampendousin jumbopioniin ja pitihän se saada :) Tähän korttiin embossasin tuon kukkasen kirkkaalla jauheella ja väritin Distresseillä. Sitten vain kasasin kartonkeja päällekkäin, kiinnitin kukan 3D-tarroilla ja lisäsin helmet. Ja siinä se, jälleen kerran! :)
I feel I'm a bit slow to pick up on trends in crafting but now finally I too have a jumbo sized flower stamp in my stash :D I took fancy to this Jumbo Peony by Stampendous and just had to have it ;) For this card I heat embossed the stamped flower with clear powder and coloured it with Distress Inks. Then I just matted a few cardstocks, attached the flower with foam mounting pads and added the tiny pearls. And that was it, once again! :)

Heroa haasteeseen - Who's the Boss?
Tämä Hero Artsin Hydrangea-leimasin on sitten ihana! :) Ja kun en ole sitä hetkeen käyttänyt, ajattelin tehdä sillä kortin A Blog Named Heron tämänkertaiseen haasteeseen, jossa kaivattiin jonkin sortin embossausta/kohokuviointia. Tähän kohokuvioin ihan vain (tylsästi) tuon kartongin. Taustan kuviopaperi on My Mind's Eyen ja leimasin tosiaan Hero Artsia, väritetty Distress markereilla. Kukkien keskustoihin lisäsin hieman kimalletta Kuretaken Wink of Stella -kynällä, mutta se ei oikein kuvassa näy.
I just love this Hydrangea stamp! :) As I haven't used it much lately, I thought I'd make a card with it for the challenge over at A Blog Named Hero, the challenge is to use some form of embossing. For this card, I dry embossed the lilac cardboard. The patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye and the rubber stamp is by Hero Arts. I coloured the stamped image with Distress Markers and added a little bit of glitter to the centres of the tiny flowers with a Wink of Stella pen by Kuretake (although it doesn't really show in the photo).

Tömpsäyttelyä - Staining it
"Put a STAMP on it" on Simon Says Stamp Challengen aiheena tällä kertaa ja eipä näissä korteissa paljon muuta olekaan. Ajattelin kokeilla yhtä uutta leimasintani tälläisiin yksinkertaisempiin kortteihin ja vaikka itse sanonkin, tykkään lopputuloksesta aika lailla :) Leimasin siis Paperbag Studiosin Balloons-leiman mustalla StazOnilla korttipohjaan, samoin leimasin tuon tekstin. Leimakuvan "väritin" sitten tömpsäyttämällä kolmea eri Distress Stainia leimakuvan päälle. Ja siinä se! Jälleen kerran yksinkertaista....
'Put a STAMP on it', is the challenge this week over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog. And stamps are pretty much all I have on these cards ;) I thought I'd try one of my new rubber stamps for these CAS style birthday cards and I ended up liking the cards quite a lot. So I just stamped the Balloons stamp by Paperbag Studios with black StazOn on a card blank and 'coloured' the stamped image by hitting it with three different Distress Stains. The sentiment is stamped with black StazOn as well and it says 'congrats'.
Osallistun tällä kortilla siis haasteeseen / I'd like to submit this card to the challenge:
*Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Put a STAMP on it
Tämä toinen kortti on tehty samalla tyylillä, erona vain tuo musta timantti sydämen keskellä ja eri tekstileima.
The second card is similar to the first, the only differences are the tiny black rhinestone I added to the heart and the sentiment (which is just another way of saying 'congrats' in Finnish).
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Toiveikasta torstaita! :)

Kukkia ja perhosia - Flowers and butterflies
Osallistuin tuossa kesällä Online Card Classesin Stretch Your Stamps -kurssille ja tein kortin erään kurssilla olleen mallikortin inspiroimana. Ideana tässä on siis se, että tuohon kortin kanteen stanssataan aukko ja stanssia vastaavalla leimalla leimataan (tässä tapauksessa) kukka, joka sitten liimataan kortin sisäosaan niin, että se näkyy aukosta. Tuosta aukosta ja kukasta olisi tullut hieman näyttävämpi, jos olisin tehnyt korttia ajatuksella ;) ja kaventanut korttipohjaa ennen tuon kuviopaperin liimaamista - tällä tavalla olisin voinut stanssata aukon ja laittaa kukan reippaammin ulos kortista, kuten tarkoitus oli, ja se olisi silti mahtunut kuoreen. No, toisella kertaa sitten... ;) Muuten tässä ei sen erikoisempaa ole, kukkastanssi ja -leima on Papertrey Inkiä, kehysleima 7Gypsiesiä ja perhoset Marthan leikkurilla leikattuja ja Kuretaken Wink of Stella -kynällä väritettyjä, tekstileima FinnStamperia. Pallopaperi on Bazzill Basicsiä.
During the summer, I took part in the Stretch Your Stamps class hosted by Online Card Classes and made a card inspired by one of the cards in the class. The idea here is to use die cutting and stamping to create a window on the card front and then to attach the matching stamped image to the inside of the card so that it peaks through the window. It would have looked better if I had cut the card blank a bit narrower before attaching the patterned paper to it - that way I could have placed the window+matching stamp a little more outside of the card (as it was intended) but was I thinking when I made this card? Of course I wasn't.... Oh well, there's always the next time, isn't there? ;) Otherwise this card is quite simple, not much to it. The die and the matching stamp is by Papertrey Ink, the frame stamp is by 7Gypsies and the butterflies I punched with a Martha Stewart punch and coloured with a Wink of Stella pen by Kuretake. The sentiment says 'congrats'. The dotty paper is by Bazzill Basics.
