Ihana Kissinia järjesti tuossa kesällä hauskan leikin, Mail Art Exchange Gamen. Tarkoitus oli koristella kirjekuori tavalla tai toisella ja lähettää se ja saada vastalahjaksi koristeltu kuori - mail art:ia siis. Tällaisen kuoren lähetin itse Kissinialle. Maskasin siihen tuon paneelin post-it-lapuilla ja värjäsin Distress Inkeillä ja sitten leimasin kukkasia Hero Artsin leimoilla A Real Long-Stemmed Wildflower ja A Real Wild Poppy.
The lovely Kissinia hosted a fun game during the summer, a Mail Art Exchange Game. The meaning was to decorate an envelope and send it and then get a decorated envelope in the post in return - that's mail art in short. This is the envelope I sent to Kissinia. I masked the panel with post-it notes and added some Distress Inks to it and then stamped the flowers with the Hero Arts stamps A Real Long-Stemmed Wildflower ja A Real Wild Poppy.
Kuoren mukana lähetin tällaisen kortin. Kohokuvioin tuon pinkin kartongin Cuttlebugin kohokuviointitaskulla, leikkasin irti sydämen ja asetin kortin sisään palasen vanhaa kirjan sivua, johon olin ensin leimannut Hero Artsin shadow stampilla neliön ja siihen päälle FinnStamperin leimalla talon. Kanteen lisäsin tuon new home -bannerin ja pienen linnun.
This is the card I sent with the envelope. I dry embossed the pink cardstock with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, cut out the heart and attached a piece of old book page on the inside of the card, stamped it with a Hero Arts shadow stamp and on top of that, I stamped a house with a FinnStamper stamp. Then I just added the tiny birdie and the banner on the card.
Ihana Kim Dellow pyysi minua vaihtamaan 'mail artia' kanssaan ja tällaisen kuoren lähetin hänelle. Tein tuon auringon stanssatun ympyrän negatiivilla ja Distress Inkeillä ja leimasin heinät (joita edelleen pidän enemmänkin rukiina kuin heinänä.... ;) ) Hero Artsin leimalla Silhouette Grass.
The lovely Kim Dellow also asked me to exchange some mail art with her and this is the envelope I sent to her. I created the sun with the negative of a circle die cut and some Distress Inks and then stamped the grass (which to me looks like rye.... ;) ) with the Hero Arts' stamp Silhouette Grass and some brown Archival Ink.
Kuoressa lähetin tällaisen pienen tagin. Taustaksi sudin hieman gessoa, sitten leimasin kukat Archival Inkeillä ja tekstin Papertrey Inkin aakkosleimoilla. Lisäksi laitoin tagiin hieman washi-teippiä, juuttinarua ja muutaman timantin.
This is the tag I sent with the envelope to Kim. I brushed some gesso on a kraft tag, stamped the flowers with Archival Inks and the text with Papertrey Ink's alphabet stamps. As embellies there's some washi tape, some jute twine and a few rhinestones.
Täytyy myöntää, että hieman jännitti lähettää mitään näille naisille, sen verran taitavia ovat molemmat. Pientä rimakauhua siis oli koettavissa... Toivottavasti molemmat kuitenkin pitivät kuoristaan :) Mutta sellaista tällä kertaa. Kiitos, kun kävit katsomassa ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa tiistaita! :)
I have to admit I was more than nervous sending anything to these two ladies, they're both talented beyond any measure and I wasn't feeling talented at all... But I do hope they both liked their envelopes :) Thanks for your visit and for any comment you may wish to leave. Enjoy your day! :)

Washilla CAS:ia - CAS with washi tapes
Yksinkertainen linja jatkuu edelleen (mikä lie karu kausi nyt on menossa..?! ;) )! Ja jos nyt omasta kortista voi sanoa näin, niin jostain syystä tykkään tästä erityisesti, jokin tässä miellyttää silmää. Idea tähän lähti ihan vain halusta käyttää washi-teippiä kortissa. Otin siis toisiinsa sopivia teippejä (nämä ovat Teippitarhasta), BasicGreyn Manila-sarjan paperin, hieman kartonkia, Papertrey Inkin stanssilla stanssatun 'sydänpallon' ja pienen haaraniitin ja kasasin kortin niistä. Jotenkin kortti vielä rakentuikin melkein itsestään, eli vähällä vaivalla tuli nyt itseä miellyttävä lopputulos - kiva joskus näinkin! ;D
I'm continuing with my simple CAS style in cards (for some reason I'm unable to add lots of frills to cards these days, what on earth is happening...? ;) ). And if I can say so, for some reason I really like this card, there's something about it that pleases my eye so much. The idea for this card came from my simple desire to use some gorgeous washi tapes in a card. So I took some washi tapes (these are bought from Teippitarha), some paper from the Manila series by BasicGrey, some brown carstock, a circle with a heart die cut with a Papertrey Ink die and a little brad and just put the card together. Oh, and that's another funny thing about this card - it just came about very easily without me having to ponder too much about it. This really is a mininum effort card! ;)
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Torstain jatkoja! :)

Kukkia ystävälle - Flowers for a friend
A Passion for Papertrey -blogissa on menossa haaste, jossa pyydetään tekemään ystävyysaiheinen kortti. No, minäpä työtä käskettyä ja kaivoin esiin Papertrey Inkin Blooming Button Bits -setin. Leimasin nuo kukanvarret HA:n Shadow Inkillä paperille, jonka olin stanssannut PTI:n Mat Stack 3 -stanssilla, alareunaan leimasin vielä tuon FinnStamperin tekstin niinikään Shadow Inkillä. Kukinnoiksi laitoin ihanat vanhat napit. Paperit tässä on October Afternoonia ja koristeina vain pari miniklemmaria ja tuollaista leveää juuttinarua.
A Passion for Papertrey blog is hosting a challenge where they're asking you to make a friendship card, and this is what I came up with. I used the Papertrey Ink Blooming Button Bits set of stamps and stamped the flower stems with Hero Art Shadow Inks on cardstock that I had die cut with PTI's Mat Stack 3 die. I stamped the sentiment ('For a friend') with Shadow Ink as well. As flower heads I used some gorgeous old buttons. The papers I used are by October Afternoon and as embellies there are a couple of mini paper clips and some wide jute ribbon.

Lehtiä - Leaves
P*skarteluhaasteessa haluttiin tällä kertaa nähdä lehtiä tai oksia, joten täältä tulee :) Eipä tässä nyt mitenkään erityisen innovatiivista lehvästön käyttöä ole, mutta löytyy niitä lehtiä kuitenkin. Kukat tähän on leimattu ja stanssattu Papertrey Inkin Beautiful Blooms II:lla, lehdet taas Turning a New Leaf -setin leimoilla ja stansseilla. Musteet on Hero Artsin Shadow Inkejä. Tuo keskellä oleva paperi on stanssattu Tim Holtzin stanssilla, päälle on leimattu Hero Artsin Envelope Patternilla ja HA:n Shadow Inkillä, reunat käyty läpi Distress Inkillä. Päälle sitten epämääräinen joukko timantteja. Taustan kartonki on kuvioitu PTI:n impression platella.
The challenge over at the Finnish challenge blog P*skarteluhaaste wants to see leaves or branches in your projects this week, here's my offering. I die cut and stamped the flowers with Papertrey Ink's Beautiful Blooms II stamps and dies, and the leaves with PTI's Turning a New Leaf stamps and dies. The inks I used are Hero Arts' Shadow Inks. I die cut the paper in the middle with a Tim Holtz die, stamped it with Hero Arts' Envelope Pattern stamp and inked the edges with Distress Ink. As embellies I added a bunch of rhinestones. I ran the green cardstock through my Cuttlebug with a PTI impression plate.

Yksinkertaista - Simple
Tällä kertaa olisi näytille pari hyvinkin yksinkertaista korttia. Taittelin näihin korttipohjat kraft-kartongista ja ensimmäiseen korttiin leimasin Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtzin Definitions-leiman valkoisella StazOnilla ja sen päälle Hero Artsin A Real Flower Drooping -leiman ruskealla Archival Inkillä. Lisäksi laitoin vain ruskea-valkoista leipurin nyöriä.
This time I have a couple of very simple cards to show you. For the first one, I stamped the Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz stamp 'Definitions' with white StazOn ink on kraft card blank, and then, on top of it, I stamped the Hero Arts' stamp 'A Real Flower Drooping' with brown Archival Ink. Then I added a piece of baker's twine as the only embellishment.
Osallistun tällä kortilla haasteeseen / I'd like to submit this card to the challenge:
* A Blog Named Hero: Challenge #14 - Clean Up Your Act! (a CAS card/project)
Seuraavan kortin tein samalla periaattella mutta tässä leimasin tuon Definitionsin ruskealla Archival Inkillä ja sen päälle embossasin tuon kukkaleiman valkoisella jauheella.
The next card is pretty much the same, but here I just stamped the 'Definitions' stamp with brown Archival Ink and then heat embossed the stamp 'A Real Flower Drooping' with white embossing powder.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Leppoisaa lauantaita! :)

Yksivuotiaalle - To a 1-year-old
Kortit tänne blogiin eivät todellakaan tule missään aikajärjestyksessä, sillä tämäkin kortti on mennyt saajalleen jo syyskuussa. Tuolloin oli pojan kaverilla 1-vuotissynttärit, jota juhlistimme tällaisella kortilla. Ajattelin tehdä kortista mahdollisimman selkeän ilman turhia härpäkkeitä ja vielä kirkkailla perusväreillä, ehkä se niin on parhaiten 1-vuotiaan mieleen? Toivottavasti :) Tuon kirahvi-leiman valmistajaa en valitettavasti tiedä, mutta leimakuvan väritin ProMarkereilla, leikkasin irti ja kiinnitin 3D-tarroilla. Taustan kartonkiin leimasin raitoja Hero Artsin Large Canvas Stripesilla ja tekstin Taitopuoti Paperinauhan setistä olevalla leimalla. Koristeena hieman tähteä, nappia ja pari eyelettia ja koko komeus kiinnitetty ensin toiseen kartonkiin ja sitten korttipohjaan.
There's no real order in which I show you my cards, at least no timely order as, for example, this card was sent to the recipient already in September. Better late than never though, right? ;) A friend of our son's celebrated his first birthday in September and this is the card we sent him. I thought it best to make the card simple without too many embellies, etc., and to make it in bold basic colours - maybe that's how 1-year-olds like their cards? Hopefully :) Anyways, I coloured the stamped image with ProMarkers, cut it out and attached it to the background with foam pads. I stamped the stripes to the blue cardstock with Hero Arts' Large Canvas Stripes and added a star, a button and a couple of eyelets as embellies. Then I mounted the whole thing to another piece of cardstock before attaching it to the card blank. The sentiment says something like 'sunny congrats to the birthday boy' (freely translated ;) ).
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Värikästä perjantaita! :)

Poikavauvalle - Daisy Bear for a baby boy
Minua pyydettiin tekemään kortti poikavauvalle. Toiveena oli tyylikäs kortti (vaalean)vihreän sävyissä, ilman tekstileimaa ja tällä Forever Friendsin Daisy Bear -leimalla - näillä koordinaateilla syntyi sitten tällainen kortti. Leimasin Daisyn Papertrey Inkin Mat Stack 3 -stansseilla stanssattuun paperiin ja väritin Distress Inkeillä. Sydämet stanssasin vaaleansinisestä huovasta PTI:n Heart Border -stanssilla ja sen alla olevan vihreän kartongin kuvioin niinikään PTI:n impression platella. Paperi on October Afternoonia.
I was asked to make a card for a newborn baby boy. The special wishes for the card were 'stylish', in (pale) green colour, without any stamped sentiments, and with this Daisy Bear stamp by Forever Friends. I followed the wishes quite closely and came up with this card. I stamped Daisy on paper that I had die cut with Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 3 dies and coloured her with Distress Inks. I die cut the hearts out of felt with PTI's Heart Border die and placed it on some green cardstock that I had run through my Cuttlebug with PTI's impression plate. The patterned paper is by October Afternoon.
Koristelin tällä kertaa myös kortin sisäosan, jonne laitoin samaa paperia ja kartonkia kuin kanteenkin ja koristeeksi vielä tuota sydänboordia.
I decided to decorate the inside of the card as well with the same patterned paper and cardstock that I used on the front of the card. I also added the felt heart border as embellie.

Ruusuja - Roses
Papertrey Ink -linja jatkuu, tällä kertaa tällaisella peruskortilla. Käytin noihin kukkiin Rosie Posie -setin leimasimia ja stansseja ja Hero Artsin Shadow Ink -musteita. Kukat kiinnitin osin liimalla, osin 3D-tarrapaloilla PTI:n Mat Stack 4 -sarjan stansseilla stanssattuihin papereihin. Kaikki paperit ovat Crate Paperin Little Bo Peep -paperikosta ja koristeena muutama helmi ja pinkkiä "hammaslankaa".
I'm still having fun with my new Papertrey Ink stash :) This time I made a card with stamps and dies from the Rosie Posie set - aren't these flowers just so pretty? As inks I used Hero Arts Shadow Inks, the papers are Little Bo Peep series by Crate Paper and as embellies there are a few pearls and some pink scrapper's floss. The labels are die cut with the Mat Stack 4 dies by Papertrey Ink.

live.laugh.love.
Tällä suunnalla on leimasin- ja stanssivarasto lisääntynyt melko lailla viime aikoina... Tätini tuli Amerikasta visiitille ja ihanana ihmisenä hän toi minulle tilaamani Papertrey Ink -ihanuudet :) :) PTI:ltä kun ei viitsi postikulujen takia tänne tilata (mieluummin laitan nekin rahat tarvikkeisiin kuin postikuluihin...), niin hyödynnän ilolla nämä kuriirimahdollisuudet :D Jonkun verran olen ehtinyt uusilla tarvikkeilla touhuta ja tässä näytille ensimmäinen tekele. Tässä melkein kaikki on Papertrey Inkiä: käytetyt stanssit, leimasimet ja kohokuviointilevy (jos haluat tietää tarkemmin, mitä värkkejä käytin, niin huikkaa ja listaan niiden nimet tänne). Ja tavoistani poiketen käytin jo toistamiseen lyhyen ajan sisällä englanninkielistä tekstileimasinta (kun ei niitä soppeleita suomenkielisiä ole - murmur...).
My stash of stamps and dies has grown quite a lot lately... My lovely aunt from the US came for a visit and she kindly agreed to bring me my (huge) order from the Papertrey Ink :) :) I'd never order anything from the PTI to Finland because of the ridiculous postage (I rather spend that money on supplies as well) so I'm overjoyed to have my own personal courier :) So far I've had a few chances to play with my new supplies and here's my first make to show you. Pretty much everything on it is by Papertrey Ink: the stamps and dies used, as well as the impression plate used for the background. (If you'd like to know the specifics about the supplies I used, let me know, otherwise I won't list the names here).
Sen kummemmitta höpinöittä kiitos, kun vietit aikaasi blogissani ja kiitos, jos ehdit kommentoida. Ihanaa tiistaita! :)
Without further ado thanks for your visit and if you'd like to leave me a comment, I'd appreciate it :) Enjoy your Tuesday! :)

Hello, friend!
Innostuin tekemään toisenkin kortin Hero Artsin lokakuun luonnoshaasteen pohjalta. Luonnoshaasteessa aihe sai olla mikä tahansa, joten tein tällaisen "yleiskortin". Leimakuvana tässä on Hero Artsin Wild Blossoms (setistä Wildflowers in Bloom), väritin sen Impress-tusseilla ja suihkaisin vettä päälle ennen leimaamista akvarellipaperille. Kuviopaperi on October Afternoonia, tekstileima ja käytetyt stanssit Papertrey Inkiä ja lisänä hieman kartonkia, huopaa ja washiteippiä.
I liked one of the sketches in the Hero Arts October Challenge so much that I made another card with it. The theme in the sketch challenge is free so I chose to make a sort of 'all-occasions card'. The rubber stamp I used is Wild Blossoms by Hero Arts (from the set Wildflowers in Bloom), I coloured it with Impress markers and spritzed a little water on it before stamping on aquarelle paper. The patterned paper is by October Afternoon and the sentiment stamp and the dies I used are all by Papertrey Ink. Additional materials include a bit of cardstock, some washi tape and felt.

Shoppailuvinkkiä (Distress Markers) - A shopping tip (Distress Markers)
Tänään ei ole näytille korttia, mutta ajattelin pikaisesti postata shoppailuvinkkiä Distress Markereista kiinnostuneille. Nyt nimittäin on Blitsyssä tarjouksena koko setti Distress Markereita hintaan $84.95 (eli n. €65) plus postikulut. Eli mikäli kynät houkuttavat, niin kannattaa olla nopea ;) Myynnissä myös yksittäisiä Distress Markereita hintaan $2.49 (eli n. €1.91). Muihin tämän hetken tarjouksiin kuuluu myös joitain Spellbindersin stansseja, Tim Holtz/Ranger -tuotteita, Tattered Angels -suihkeita yms. Tuonne Blitsyynhän pitää kirjautua, että pääsee tuotteita selailemaan mutta kirjautuminen ei kuitenkaan edellytä ostamista.
I've no card to show you today, instead I thought I'd give you a heads-up of a great deal on Distress Markers. Blitsy is now offering a full set of Distress Markers for $84.95 (postage not included), so if you're interested, be quick so you can grab a good deal :) You can also buy single Distress Markers for $2.49. Other things on sale at Blitsy at the moment include some Spellbinders dies, some Tim Holtz/Ranger products, some Tattered Angels mists, etc. Remember, you have to register as a member in order to be able to see the products on sale but that does not mean that you have to buy anything, you can just browse if you like.

Joulukortti! - A Christmas card!
Tämän vuoden ensimmäinen joulukortti on nyt sitten tehty! Jotenkin joulukorttien tekeminen on aina yhtä tuskaisaa, en tiedä mikä siinä on, mutta nyt on ensimmäinen valmis ja toivottavasti lisää tulee ;) Tein tämän kortin Hero Artsin lokakuun haasteen innoittamana, siitä tulee siis sekä aihe (joulukortit) että luonnos. Käytin tähän korttiin Graphic45:n Christmas Past -papereita, joita olen varmasti hehkuttanut aiemminkin mutta hehkutan edelleen, ne nimittäin ovat kauneimpia joulupapereita, joita olen löytänyt. Leimakuvana tässä on Hero Artsin Trees of the Season -setin talvileima, jonka embossasin ruskealla jauheella. Samaisella jauheella embossasin myös tekstin. Koristeena on hieman nappia ja nauhaa.
Behold, the first Yule card of this year! Hah, yes, I've made my first Christmas card for this year, I know I'm starting late but there's just something about making Christmas cards that doesn't really appeal to me. It's always so difficult for me to start making them but now the first one is done and hopefully there'll be plenty more ;) This card was inspired by the Hero Arts' October Challenge, the theme (holiday cardmaking) and the sketch come from there. The stamp I used here is the winter stamp from the gorgeous Hero Arts' set Trees of the Season. I heat embossed it and the sentiment (which says 'Christmas peace') with brown embossing powder. The papers I used are by Graphic45 (I just love this Christmas Past paper collection!). As embellies there's some ribbon and a button.
Haaste / Challenge:
* Hero Arts: October Challenge - Holiday Cardmaking and Sketch Challenge
And while we're on the subject of Hero Arts.... Have you noticed the Heroine badge that I now have on the right sidebar of my blog? I got that from the September challenge of A Blog Named Hero where my card was awarded a place in the Top 5! I am so surprised and honoured :) :)
Behold, the first Yule card of this year! Hah, yes, I've made my first Christmas card for this year, I know I'm starting late but there's just something about making Christmas cards that doesn't really appeal to me. It's always so difficult for me to start making them but now the first one is done and hopefully there'll be plenty more ;) This card was inspired by the Hero Arts' October Challenge, the theme (holiday cardmaking) and the sketch come from there.

Ja nyt hieman höpinää, kun kerran Herosta puhutaan... Oletko huomannut tuon Heroine-lätkän, joka on ilmestynyt tuohon oikealle puolelle? Sain sen A Blog Named Heron syyskuun haasteesta, jossa tämä korttini valittiin viiden parhaan joukkoon! Hieman olen yllättynyt ja otettu :) :)And while we're on the subject of Hero Arts....

Ajattelematta - Without thinking
Tämä kortti tuli tehtyä "kaikkea kivaa" -periaatteella. Laitoin siis korttiin sen kummemmin miettimättä kaikkea omasta mielestäni kivaa ja mitä nyt satuin pöydältä löytämään. Mielenkiintoisesti yhtäkään leimakuvaa tässä ei ole... ;) Sen sijaan tässä on hieman Dylusions ink sprayta, paperia ja aaltopahvia, washiteippiä, stanssattu huopasydän, gessoa, nappi ja narunpätkiä. Sen kummempaa ideaa tässä ei ole takana mutta joskus on kiva tehdä kortteja näinkin :)
I made this card simply by using all kinds of stuff that I like and that I found on my craft table without thinking too much. Didn't use any stamped images though (*shockhorror* ;) ), funny that... Instead you can find some Dylusions ink spray, some patterned paper and some corrugated cardboard, some washi tape, a die cut felt heart, some gesso, a button and some pieces of ribbon and twine on my card. I find it so much fun to make cards like this every once in a while, things made without too much thinking. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't but always I have fun :)
Haasteet / Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp: Anything goes! (my 2nd entry)
* Lauran korttihaaste: #55 - Pahvi tai pahvilaatikko (Puuhikselle kiitos vinkistä! :) :) )
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos ehdit kommentoida! Aurinkoista alkavaa viikkoa! :)
Thanks for looking and if you'd like to leave me a comment, I'd love that! Have a fab Monday! :)
