Vähänkö oot rakas - Love you lots

Tämä ystävältä leimattu kuva on Concord&9th:n You Are Here -setistä, väritin sen Zigeillä. Tekstileima on Mama Elephantia ja taustan kirjasinleima on My Favorite Thingsin. Paneelin stanssasin Penny Blackin stanssilla. Koristeina taas paljetteja.

I stamped this image while visiting my dear crafty friend, it's from the set 'You Are Here' by Concord&9th. I coloured the image with my Zig Markers. The sentiment comes from Mama Elephant and the background stamp on the card base is by My Favorite Things. I die cut the panel with a Penny Black die. I added a few sequins (again..) as my final touches.

Parane pian - Get well soon

Englanninkielinen parane pian -kortti tällä kertaa. Leimakuva on Penny Blackin setistä Botanical Garden, joka eksyi minulle, kun näin sen jonkun tekemässä kortissa Instagramissa... (itsehillintä? mitä se on..? ;D ). Väritin sen Zigeillä, stanssasin irti Pennyn stanssilla ja leimasin tekstileiman Pennyn setistä Snippets. Jokunen kirkas paljetti ja sitten vain kerrostus kartongille ja korttipohjaan kiinni.

I made a get well soon card with Penny Black products. These gorgeous flowers are a stamp in the 'Botanical Garden' set which somehow ended up in my stash after I saw someone's card made with it on Instagram... (self-control? nope, never heard of that! ;D ). I coloured the image with my Zig markers, die cut the panel with a die from the Penny Black set 'Stitched Square and Circles'. I stamped the sentiment from the 'Snippets' set by Penny Black, added some sequins and layered the panel onto cardstock before adhering to my card blank.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* CAS(E) This Sketch! #272 (I placed my sentiment to the place of the highlighted part of the sketch)

Haleja ja iloisia ajatuksia - Hugs and happy thoughts

Tein tämän kortin Less Is More -haasteeseen, jossa on tällä kertaa aiheena niin ihanat värit: keltainen, sininen ja harmaa. Kaikki leimat ovat Altenew'ta, kukka on Golden Garden -setistä, tekstileima Beautiful Day -setistä ja taustan ympyrä Halftone Circles -setistä. Musteista kaikki paitsi harmaa ovat Altenew'ta myös. Kortti oli melko hankala kuvata, joten otin kaksi kuvaa, toisen harmaalla taustalla, josko jommasta kummasta näkyisi kortti paremmin :)

I made this card for the current Less Is More challenge where they have a colour challenge with the most gorgeous colour combo: yellow, blue and grey. All the stamps I used are by Altenew, the flower is from the 'Golden Garden' set, the sentiment's from 'Beautiful Day' set and the circle in the background is from the 'Halftone Circles' set. All the inks excluding the grey are by Altenew as well. The card was pretty difficult to photograph (with my photography skills at least :D ) so I took a couple of different photos with the hopes of either one being good enough to view the card.

Haaste/Challenge:
* Less Is More: Challenge #371 - Yellow, Blue and Grey

Äitienpäivänä - On Mother's Day

Tein äidilleni äitienpäiväkortin Altenew'n Build-a-Flower-sarjan ruusuleimalla, jonka leimailin Altenew'n musteilla. Äitienpäivä-aiheista tekstileimasinta minulla ei ole (tai en ainakaan löytänyt...), joten ajattelin, että tämä Dekoretten tekstileima sopii hyvin myös. Taustalle hieman  kuviopapereita ja muutama paljetti, ja kortti oli valmis.

This is a Mother's Day card I made for my Mum. I used Altenew's stamp Build-a-Flower: Rose which I stamped using Altenew's inks. The sentiment says 'A Hug for You', I didn't have anything exactly for Mother's Day so I thought this would be good also. I added some patterned papers to the background, I die cut the grey one with Simon Says Stamp's 'Curved Edge' die although it's not really visible from the behind the rose. I embellished my card with some sequins.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Allsorts Challenge Blog: Week 467 - In the Pink
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #109 - Inspired by Words 'Friends Are the Charming Gardeners who Make Our Souls Blossom' (I was inspired by the word 'blossom')
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 529 - Flowers
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #291 - Anything Goes

Kiitos, kun käväisit. Mukavaa äitienpäivää sitä juhliville! :)

Thanks for your visit today. Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate it! :)

Daaliat - Dahlias

WPlus9-kortti tällä kertaa, leimakuvana Beautiful Bouquet: Dahlia. Väritin sen Zigeillä ja mustetin hieman Distress Oxidea reunoihin. Kehystin kuvan MFT:n stanssilla stanssatulla kuviolla, leimasin tekstin, lisäsin paljetit ja ennen korttipohjaan liimaamista lisäsin taustalle Lawn Fawnin paperia.

I love this stamp, it's 'Beautiful Bouquet: Dahlia' by WPlus9. For this card, I coloured it with my Zig markers and sponged some Distress Oxide ink on the edges. I framed the panel with a die cut (MFT), stamped my sentiment ('To a dear friend' in Finnish) and added some clear sequins. Before adhering the panel to the cardbase, I added some Lawn Fawn patterned paper behind it.

Kiitos, kun käväisit. Mukavaa perjantaita! :)

Thanks for your visit, have a lovely Friday! :)

Kukkakärry - Flower cart

Nopsa ja yksinkertainen kortti taas. Leimakuva on Penny Blackin Friendship Flowers -setistä, väritin sen Zigeillä. Tekstileima on Dekoretten ja paneelin stanssasin Penny Blackin Antique Frame -setin stanssilla. Mustetin paneelin reunoja hieman Distress Oxide -musteella. Taustalle kuviopaperia ja paneeli kohotarroilla kiinni.

Another quick and simple card from me. I used a stamp from the Penny Black set 'Friendship Flowers' for this one, and coloured it with my Zig markers. I die cut the panel with 'Antique Frame' die (Penny Black) and sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges. The sentiment says 'Sunshine to your day' in Finnish. For the background I used some patterned paper and adhered my panel with foam adhesives.

Haasteet/Challenges:
*Penny Black and More: May - Anything goes (my 3rd entry)
*Penny Black Saturday Challenge: May - Anything goes, optional 'Use your favourite Penny Black stamp'

Heippa - Hello

Paper Smoochesia tällä kertaa, nämä stanssatut leimakuvat ovat Natural Beauties -setistä, väritys Polychromoksilla. Taustalle stanssasin kehikon Paper Smoochesin Fused Frame -stanssilla kultaisesta kartongista (vaikka se kovin tummalta kuvassa näyttääkin, niin kultaa se on). Hello-stanssi on Create a Smilen ja taustapaperi on Lawn Fawnia, lisänä muutama kultaglitteri enamel dotsi.

A card with Paper Smooches goodies, the stamped and die cut images are from the 'Natural Beauties' set, I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils. I die cut the frame with the 'Fused Frame' die by Paper Smooches out of gold cardstock (it does look quite dark in the photo, but the frame is golden). The 'Hello' die that I used is by Create a Smile. The background paper is by Lawn Fawn and I added some glitter gold enamel dots to embellish the card.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Paper Smooches: May 2018 - FUN (I made this card just for fun ;D )

Ruusu ja kultaa - Rose and gold

Toinen nopea kortti Altenew'n ruusulla. Kehystin ruusun stanssaamalla ruskean kehyksen Penny Blackin Antique Frame -stanssilla ja siihen päälle kermanvärisestä kartongista suorakulmion. Suorakulmioon roiskin hieman kultasuihketta, leimasin tekstileiman ja kiinnitin ruusun kohotarroilla. Lisäksi vielä muutama kultainen enamel dotsi ja kiinnitys korttipohjaan.

This is another quick card that I made with the Altenew rose from the set 'Golden Garden' coloured with my Zig markers. I framed the rose with die cuts, the brown cardstock is die cut with the 'Antique Frame' die by Penny Black and I added a rectangle die cut on top of that. I added some gold spray splatters on the rectangle die cut, stamped my sentiment, adhered my rose with foam adhesives and added some glittery gold enamel dots. Then I simply adhered the panel to my cardbase.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #290 - Photo Inspiration
* The Card Consept: #92 - Bold Bloom

Liilat kukkaset - Purple flowers

Tein kortin muutamaan haasteeseen. Penny Black Saturday Challengessä on valinnaisena optiona käyttää lempileimaa Penny Blackiltä ja minulla ne on yleensä ottaen kukkaleimat :) Päätin käyttää tätä Penny Blackin Demure-leimaa, koska en ole sitä hetkeen käyttänyt ja mielestäni se on kaunis. Väritin leimakuvan Polychromoksilla ja sudin ympärille vähän väriä Zigillä. Stanssasin paneelin ja korttipohjan PB:n Antique Frame -stansseilla (myöskin lempparit!), lisäsin tekstileiman ja jokusen timantin. Kortista tuli yllättävän liila, harvemmin yleensä liilaa käytän vaikka siitä pidänkin, mutta viime aikoina sitä on jostain syystä eksynyt kortteihin suhteellisen paljon. Hassua..

I made a card for a few challenges in mind. The optional theme in Penny Black Saturday Challenge is to use your favourite Penny Black stamp - my favourites are usually floral stamps! I chose to use this one because I haven't used it in a while and I think it's gorgeous! The stamp is 'Demure' by Penny Black, I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils and added a bit of colour to the background with my Zig marker. I die cut the panel and the cardbase with 'Antique Frame' dies by Penny Black (also a favourite of mine!), stamped the sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) and added some rhinestones. Funny thing is, I like the colour purple but I'm not usually comfortable using it (dunno why) but it seems that lately, I've been using it a lot! Go figure...

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: May - Anything Goes, optional twist 'Use your favourite Penny Black stamp'
* Penny Black and More: May - Anything Goes
* Double D Challenges: May Flowers

Kevätkimppu - Spring Bouquet

Taas vaihteeksi kukkakortti... ;) Leimakuvana tässä on Stampendousin ihana Spring Bouquet, jonka väritin Zigeillä. Leimakuva on melko iso, joten kovin paljoa muuta korttiin ei mahtunutkaan, vain tekstileima ja jokunen paljetti.

Aaand it's another floral card from me ;) I love this stamp by Stampendous, it's called 'Spring Bouquet' and it's gorgeous! I coloured the image with my Zig markers and as it is quite large, I didn't want to add much else to it, just the sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) and some sequins.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Happy Little Stampers: May Watercolour Challenge - Anything Goes with optional twist of CAS
* Double D Challenges: May Flowers

Kiitos, kun käväisit ja mukavaa viikonloppua! :)

Aurinkoa päivääsi - Sunshine to your day

Vaihteeksi jotain muutakin kuin kukkia... ;) Leimakuvat ovat Clearly Besottedin Bird Bath -setistä, väritys Polychromoksilla. Paneelin mustetin Distress Oxideilla ja roiskin perään "pakolliset" vesitipat. Kehykset stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla ja taustapaperi on Lawn Fawnia, tekstileima Dekoretten.

Well, surprise surprise, I made a non-floral card! ;D The cute birdies and their bath is from the 'Bird Bath' set by Clearly Besotted, I coloured the images with my Polychromos pencils. I sponged some Distress Oxide inks on the panel and die cut a frame for it with an MFT die. The sentiment says 'Sunshine to your day'. The gorgeous background paper is by Lawn Fawn.

Haasteet/Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Animal Magic
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge #528 - Anything Goes

Ruusu ja mustikat - Rose and blueberries

Pari korttia Altenew'n Golden Garden -setin leimoilla. Ensimmäisessä pieni ruusu ja toisessa mustikat, molemmat väritetty Zigeillä. Kehykset stanssasin MFT:n stansseilla ja ruusun seuraksi laitoin vielä tekstileiman vellumbannerille, mustikat jätin ilman tekstiä. Koristeiksi paljetteja.

I made a couple of cards using the stamps from Altenew's 'Golden Garden' set. Both the rose and the blueberries are coloured with my Zig markers and both cards have frames die cut with MFT dies. I added a sentiment to the rose card but decided to leave the sentiment out of the blueberry card - sometimes you just need cards without sentiments, don't you? I added some sequins as my only embellishments.
