Minua pyydettiin tekemään synttärikortti 18 vuotta täyttävälle nuorelle naiselle ja annettiin vielä vapaat kädetkin! Tein tällaiset vaihtoehdot. Ekaan korttiin käytin Paper Smoochesin ihanaa kukkaleimaa Blossoming Buds -setistä, stanssasin sen irti ja väritin Copiceilla. Sitten vain stanssailin ympyrää korttipohjasta ja kuviopapereista, numeroita ja taustan kiekuroita hopeasta ja bannerin vellumista, siihen leimasin tekstileiman. Koristeiksi laitoin muutaman paljetin (nuo kuvassa tummalta näyttävät paljetit ovat oikeasti hopeisia).
I was asked to make a birthday card for a young lady turning 18 and I was given no guidelines as to what the cards should be like - wohoo! I came up with these two cards to choose from. For the first card I stamped and die cut the gorgeous flowers from the Paper Smooches set 'Blossoming Buds' and coloured them with my Copics. Then I just die cut a few circles out of cardstock and patterned papers, the numbers and the circle loops out of silver glitter paper and the fishtail banner out of vellum. I stamped my sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) on the banner and added a few sequins for embellishment (in the piccie some of the sequins look really dark but they are actually silver).
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #57 - 'May All Your Weeds Be Wild Flowers'
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make A Wish
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
Toisen kortin tein vähän "rinsessamaisemmaksi" :) Leimasin siihen Lili of the Valleyn Pom Pom -leiman ja väritin senkin Copiceilla. Lisäsin hameeseen, siipiin ja pallukoihin kirkasta Wink of Stellaa mutta se ei kuvasta taida näkyä. Leimakuvan alareunan stanssasin kaarevaksi ja kiinnitin sen korttipohjaan. Numerot stanssasin taas hopeasta ja lisäsin nauhan rusetille.
The second card is a bit more "princess-y" (if that's a word.. ;) ). I used the sweet 'Pom Pom' by Lili of the Valley and coloured it with my Copics. I added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to her dress and wings but it doesn't really show in the piccie. I then die cut the curve to the stamped image and attached it to the card base. I die cut the numbers out of silver glitter cardstock and added the ribbon and tied it to a bow.

6-vuotiaalle - For our 6-year-old
Blogihiljaisuuteni aikana perheen esikoinen ehti täyttää täydet 6 vuotta ja tein hänelle tällaiset kortit. Ensimmäisen kortin hänelle antoivat isovanhemmat ja toisen kortin me. Leimakuva ensimmäisessä kortissa on Tiddly Inksin My Super Boy -setistä Copiceilla väritettynä. Taustan paperit ovat Echo Parkia ja Simple Storiesia mustalla kartongilla kehystettyinä. Koristeina Memory Boxin stanssilla stanssattu numero 6 ja muutama Kaiser Craftin droplet.
During my recent blog silence, my eldest boy turned 6 and I made him these cards. The first card was given to him by his grandparents and the second by us. The stamped image in the first card is from the Tiddly Inks set 'My Super Boy' and I coloured him with my Copic markers. The patterned papers I used are by Simple Stories and Echo Park, and there's also some black cardstock to spice things up a bit. The number 6 is diecut with a Memory Box die and I added some Kaiser Craft droplets as embellies.
Toisen kortin leimakuvan (Lili of the Valleyn Tree House) väritin Distress Markereilla ja stanssasin Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla. Taustapaperi on Echo Parkia ja koristeina löytyy stanssattu tagi (WPlus9), stanssattu numero (Memory Box), nyöriä ja muutama enamel drops. Tekstin stanssasin Memory Boxin aakkosstansseilla.
The stamped image on the second card is by Lili of the Valley and it's called 'Tree House'. I coloured it with my Distress Markers and die cut it out with a Simon Says Stamp stitched edge die. The background paper is by Echo Park and as embellies I used a die cut tag (WPlus9 die), a die cut number (a Memory Box die), some twine and a few enamel drops. The text is die cut with Memory Box alphabet dies and it spells out 'Congrats' in Finnish.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Aurinkoista viikonloppua! :)

Onnea Sandie! - Happy birthday Sandie!
Time Out Challengesissa on nyt menossa erikoishaaste - Sandiella, yhdellä tuon haasteblogin perustajista, on tänään syntymäpäivä, joten haasteen aiheena on Sandien kunniaksi "CAS with the optional twist of purple". Itse koitin pysyä erittäin CAS-linjalla olematta kuitenkaan liian tylsä, joten taittelin korttipohjan violetista tekstuuripintaisesta kartongista ja stanssasin tuon valkoisen paneelin niinikään tekstuuripintaisesta kartongista. Paneeliin stanssasin aukon Penny Blackin 'Playful Posies' -stanssilla, leimasin tekstin Clearly Besottedin leimalla ja lisäsin hieman nyöriä ja muutaman timantin. Paneelin kiinnitin korttipohjaan kohotarroilla.
There's a special challenge over at Time Out Challenges - the sweet Sandie, one of the founders of the challenge blog, is celebrating her birthday today! Happy birthday, Sandie!! In honour of Sandie, the theme is 'CAS with the optional twist of purple'. I tried to keep my card as CAS as possible without being too dull and this is what I came up with. I diecut the white panel out of textured cardstock with Simon Says Stamp stitched edge die, and then I diecut the flowers with the Penny Black die 'Playful Posies' out of it as I only wanted to use the negative of the die. The sentiment is a Clearly Besotted stamp and as embellies there's only some twine and a few sticky back rhinestones. Once again, very happy birthday, Sandie, hope you like this card!
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: CAS with the optional twist of purple
* Penny Black and More: May Challenge - Anything goes
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Flowers
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Mukavaa viikonalkua! :)

Kukkia! - Flowers!
Tein tämän kortin pariin haasteeseen. Time Out Challengesissa on haasteena caseta kortti (casettava kortti näkyy täällä) ja Simon Says Stampin Flickr Challengesissa on teemana 'Mother's Day/Flowers'. Inspiraatiokortista poimin omaani kukat, värit ja asettelun. Kukkaset on leimattu Simonin Artful Flowers -setin kukilla ja Simonin musteilla, valkoiset lehdet taas on stanssattu Penny Blackin stanssilla. Ympyrän stanssasin niin ikään Simonin stansseilla ja taustan leimasin Simonin Diagonal Stripes -leimalla. Ympyrän takana on hieman vellumia, johon leimasin tekstileiman ja koristeiksi laitoin muutaman paljetin.
I made this card for a couple of challenges. First, there's Time Out Challenges where the challenge is to case, with your own twist, a card which you can see here, and the theme in Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge is 'Mother's Day/Flowers'. From the inspiration card, I took the flowers, the colours and the layout. I stamped the flowers with Simon Says Stamp's set 'Artful Flowers' and Simon Says Stamp inks and fussy cut them out. The white leaves I diecut with a Penny Black die. I diecut the circle frame with Simon Says Stamp's dies and stamped the background with - you guessed it! - Simon Says Stamp's 'Diagonal Stripes' background stamp. I attached some vellum behind the circle frame and stamped my sentiment on it (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish), and as embellies I used some sequins.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #56 - Case with your own twist
* Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #44 - Mother's Day/Flowers
Kiitos, kun käväisit korttia kurkkaamassa ja kiitos, jos sitä kommentoit! Aurinkoista viikkoa! :)
That's my card, hope you like it! Thanks for popping by and I'd love it if you left me a little comment! :)

Hyvää äitienpäivää! - Happy Mother's Day!
Oliko ikävä!? :D Edellisestä bloggauksesta ehti vierähtää useampi kuukausi, hups! Hiljaisuus blogin puolella on tarkoittanut vilskettä ja muutoksia oikean elämän puolella, palasin alkuvuodesta töihin kotiäitivuosien jälkeen ja kiirettä on pitänyt! Kortteiluintokin ehti olla jäissä jonkun aikaa, mutta nyt taas tuntuu innostus heräilevän - josko tänne blogiinkin tulisi taas hieman useammin jotain näytille...
Well, did you miss me!? :D It's been a while, 6 months to be precise, since my last blog post. The silence in my blog has meant quite the opposite in real life. I returned to work after 6 years as a stay-at-home mum and my free time is even rarer these days than it used to be... I even lost my cardmaking mojo for a while there but now I can feel it slowly coming back - maybe now you'll see some cards here in the old blog-o from time to time, you never know...
Äitienpäivän kunniaksi pari äitienpäiväkorttia näytille. Ensimmäisen kortin tein omalle äidilleni. Käytin siihen Simon Says Stampin ihania Spring Flowers -leimoja, jotka embossasin valkoisella ja väritin Distress Markereilla. Tekstileima on Papertrey Inkiä (suomenkielistä äitienpäivätoivotusta minulla ei olekaan, joten englannilla mentiin). Taustapaperi on Kaisercraftia ja koristeena on hieman nyöriä ja muutama tippa Liquid pearlsiä.
It's Mother's Day today in Finland and I've got a couple of Mother's Day cards to show you, this first went to my Mum. The stamps I used are the gorgeous Spring Flowers by Simon Says Stamp, I heat embossed them in white and coloured with Distress Markers. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. The background paper is by Kaisercraft, and as embellies I used some twine and a few tiny drops of Liquid Pearls.
Haaste/Challenge:
* Penny Black and More: May Challenge - Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #44: Mother's Day/Flowers
Toinen kortti meni anopille. Käytin tähänkin Spring Flowers -leimoja ja väritykseen Distress Markereita ja leikkasin kukat irti. Tekstileima on myös Simon Says Stampia ja kukkapaperi Kaisercraftia. Kukkapaperiin stanssasin ympyräaukon ja laitoin taustalle keltaista paperia, koristeiksi lisäsin muutaman puolihelmen.
The second card went to my Mother-In-Law. I used the same Spring Flowers stamps for this card and coloured them with Distress Markers as well before fussycutting them out. I stamped the sentiment (by Simon Says Stamp) on a fish-tail banner. The lovely flowery background paper is by Kaisercraft, I diecut a circle window onto it and placed some yellow paper behind it. As embellies I used some sticky back pearls.
