Vanhin veljenpojistani täytti juuri 16, joten synttärikortille oli tarvetta. Ajattelin tällä kertaa tehdä hieman erilaisen kortin ja pähkäilin, että tällainen geometrinen voisi olla nuoren miehen mieleen. Stanssasin kartongista Simon Says Stampin ommelreunastanssilla suorakulmion ja embossasin siihen mustalla pari puuta Simonin One with Nature -setistä. Puut väritin Copiceilla ja koristeiksi lisäsin enamel dotseja. Tekstin embossasin vellumille. Sitten vain korttipohjaan kiinni ja kortti oli valmis.
My eldest nephew turned 16 and I needed to make him a birthday card. I wanted to make something a bit different and a bit more 'grown up' this time so I chose to use the gorgeous trees from the 'One with Nature' set by Simon Says Stamp. I heat embossed them in black on cardstock that I die cut with a Simon Says Stamp stitched edge die and coloured the trees with my Copics. I added some enamel dots as the only embellishments. I heat embossed my sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) on a piece of vellum and adhered it to the panel before attaching it onto my cardbase.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* CASology: Week 245 - Grow
* Less is More: Challenge #324 - Spring Walk
* Penny Black and More: April Challenge - Spring
* STAMPlorations: April CAS Card Challenge - Anything CAS Goes

Höyhen - Feather
Tein pienen pakettikortin lahjan kylkeen. Käytin siihen höyhenleimaa Lawn Fawnin Dream-setistä, embossasin sen kullalla, "väritin" sen muutamalla kerroksella kirkasta Wink of Stellaa ja lisäsin pieniä Liquid Pearls -tippoja. Taustan ympyrästanssi on Simply Graphicin. Lisänä vellumvyöte ja muutama pieni paljetti.
I made a little gift tag using the feather stamp in Lawn Fawn's 'Dream' set. I heat embossed it in gold, added layers of clear Wink of Stella on it and then added some tiny drops of white Liquid Pearls on it. The heart circle in the background is die cut with a Simply Graphic die. I also added a simple vellum banner and some tiny gold sequins on it.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #81 (I used the inspiration photo as a sketch to make this tag)
* Happy Little Stampers: April - Anything Goes with Dies
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Make Your Mark (I made my marks with the Liquid Pearls)
Kiitos, kun käväisit. Aurinkoista toista pääsiäispäivää! :)

Keväinen puu - Spring tree
Mä oon rakastunut! Nimittäin Nuvo Crystal Dropseihin ja Simply Graphicin stansseihin! Molempia tuli hamstrattua hankittua muutama tuossa joku aika sitten ja tähän korttiin sain yhdistettyä molemmat. Tuo puu on siis Simply Graphicin stanssilla stanssattu ja eri väriset pallukat on Nuvo Crystal Dropseilla tehty. Taustan leimasin My Favorite Thingsin Typewriter Text Background -leimalla ja sen päälle laitoin vellumia hieman pehmentämään sitä. Sitten vain hieman nyöriä ja paneeli tarrapaloilla kiinni.
I am in love! I am so in love with Nuvo Crystal Drops and Simply Graphic dies! I bought a few of both some time ago and managed to combine both in this little card. I die cut the tree with a Simply Graphic die and then added drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops to it. I stamped the background with My Favorite Things 'Typewriter Text Background' and added some vellum on top of it to soften it a bit. Then I just added a some twine and attached the panel with foam adhesives to my card base.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #81 - photo inspiration (I was inspired by the text background)
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Spring Colour Inspiration (I was inspired by the colourful jelly beans and turned them into little flowers that bloom in this tree in spring)
* Inkspirational: Challenge #132 - Spring
* Happy Little Stampers: April - Anything Goes with Dies Challenge
Kiitos, kun käväisit. Mukavaa pääsiäisen odotusta! :)

Oot mahtava! - You're awesome!
Vähän väriterapiaa tähän harmaaseen ja sateiseen päivään! :) Tein tämän MFT Card Challengesin luonnoshaasteen pohjalta. Leimoina käytin My Favorite Thingsin Geometric Greenery -setin lehtiä, jotka embossasin kullalla ja väritin Copiceilla. Piparkakkureunainen kehys on niin ikään MFT:n stanssilla stanssattu kultakartongista (tosin se näyttää melko tummalta kuvassa mutta on siis kultainen luonnossa). Pinkin ja monivärisen paperin stanssasin myös MFT:n stansseilla ja tekstileima on tuosta samasta Geometric Greenery setistä, embossasin senkin. Tekstin, kehyksen ja sen sisällä olevat lehdet kiinnitin tarrapaloilla hieman koholle.
It's been such a grey and rainy day today that I thought a bit of colour therapy wouldn't go amiss :) I made this card based on the sketch over at MFT Card Challenges. I used My Favorite Things' 'Geometric Greenery' set for this one, I stamped and heat embossed the leaves with gold and coloured them with my Copics. I die cut the circle frame with MFT's die out of gold foil cardstock (it looks really dark in the photo but it is lovely and golden in real life), also the pink and multicoloured patterned papers are both die cut using MFT's dies. I attached the sentiment strip, the frame and the leaves in it with foam adhesives so they're a bit raised.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* MFT Card Challenges: Wednesday Sketch Challenge - sketch #327
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #80 - Inspired by words 'When it rains look for rainbows, when it's dark look for stars' (I felt that the saying is really inspiring and encouraging and so is my sentiment)
* Double D Challenges: Neons/Brights Challenge
Kiitos, kun käväisit. Mukavaa viikon alkua! :)
Thanks for your visit. Have a great week! :)

Ruusu ja tylliä - Rose and tulle
Jennifer McGuire teki joku aika sitten ikkunakortteja, joissa hän käytti asetaatin tai vastaavan tilalla tylliä. Se näytti sen verran kivalta, että halusin kokeilla itsekin. Stanssasin korttiin siis pyöreän aukon, johon kiinnitin valkoista tylliä. Aukon reunustin MFT:n piparkakkureunaisella stanssilla stanssatulla reunuksella. Tekstileiman leimasin Spellbindersin stanssilla stanssatulle bannerille ja leimakuvan sijaan käytin tuollaista Paper Smoochesin stanssilla stanssattua ruusua, jonka seuraksi laitoin noita ihania "kukkaoksia", jotka sain Patricialta (ihastuin niihin niin, että menin ja tilasin itselleni nuo stanssit myös... :) ). Paperi on Lili of the Valley'ä.
Some time ago Jennifer McGuire made a window card in which she used tulle instead of acetate for the window. I thought it looked so nice that I wanted to make one too. So I die cut a circle for the window and placed some tulle in it, I framed the window with a die cut made with MFT's die. I stamped my sentiment onto a banner die cut with a Spellbinders die. For the focal point I used a rose die cut with a Paper Smooches die and paired it with some gorgeous die cut twigs that my bloggy friend Patricia sent me (I fell in love with the twigs so much so that I went and bought the dies for myself... :) ). The patterned paper is by Lili of the Valley.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Happy Birthday!
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Anything Goes

Leija - Kite
Vähän värikkäämpää korttia vaihteeksi. Kuviopaperin lisäksi käytin tähän kartonkia, jonka stanssasin My Favorite Thingsin Wonky Stitched Rectangles -stanssilla ja mustetin Distress Inkillä. Lisäsin siihen muutaman vesiroiskeen, että saisin vähän elävyyttä siihen. Leija tykötarpeineen on Lawn Fawnin Sunny Skies -setistä, väritin sen Copiceilla ja kiinnitin tarrapaloilla. Tekstileima on Papertrey Inkiä ja lisänä muutama enamel dots.
It's a bright and cheerful card today. I die cut (My Favorite Things 'Wonky Stitched Rectangles) a piece of cardstock which I then sponged with some blue Distress Ink. I added a few splatters of water to it to give it a bit of texture and interest. The kite is from the 'Sunny Skies' set by Lawn Fawn, I coloured it with my Copics and attached with some foam adhesives. The sentiment is a stamp by Papertrey Ink and as embellishments, I added some enamel dots.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Double D Challenges: Things That Fly
