Flowers - Kukat

A little encouragement card I made with the beautiful floral stamps by Stamping Bella. The flowers are from the sets Straight Up Floral and Daisy Floral and I coloured the images with my Copic markers before die cutting them with the matching dies. I die cut the frame with Leaf Stitched Frames dies by Penny Black, added a bit of patterned paper in the background and stamped the sentiment from the Penny Black set Blooming Sentiments.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Spring Mood Board
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #158 - Lots or a Little Purple, optional twist 'Friendship'

Tällainen kortti syntyi parilla Stamping Bellan leimasetillä. Kukat ovat seteistä Straight Up Floral ja Daisy Floral, väritin ne Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin Penny Blackin Leaf Stitched Florals -stansseilla, laitoin taustalle kuviopaperia ja leimasin tekstileiman Penny Blackin setistä Blooming Sentiments.

Hugs - Haleja

I'm going to send some paper hugs to a friend with this card :) The image I used is Squishy Cats by Stamping Bella, I coloured it with my Copics and used the matching die to die cut it. 'Hugs' is a word die by Winnie & Walter and the frame is die cut with simple rectangle dies. To finish the card, I rounded the bottom corners.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes 

Tällä kortilla lähtee halaukset ystävälle :) Leimakuva on Stamping Bellan Squishy Cats, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Teksti on stanssattu Winnie & Walterin stanssilla ja taustan kehys perussuorakulmiostansseilla. Lopuksi pyöristin kortin alakulmat.

Believe in tomorrows - Uskoa huomiseen

I felt the need to just sit down, colour and make a card today to clear my mind, and this is what I made. I used the sweet Curvy Girl Gardener by Stamping Bella, coloured her with my Copics and die cut her out. For the background, I used some patterned papers and coloured cardstock and die cut the cardstock and cream coloured patterned paper with a Simon Says Stamp die to create the curvy edge. The sentiment I used comes with the Gardener stamp. To embellish the card, I used some simple twine tied into a bow.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #382 - Make Your Mark

Tänään piti istua omien ajatustensa kanssa, joten värittelin ja tein kortin. Leimakuva on Stamping Bellan ihana Curvy Girl Gardener, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle käytin kuviopapereita ja kartonkia, joista osan stanssasin Simon Says Stampin stanssilla kaarevaksi. Tekstileima on samaisesta Gardener-leimasetistä. Koristeena käytin vain nyöriä.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Unforgettable

I created this card with the absolutely gorgeous stamp by Penny Black called Unforgettable. I stamped it onto a panel of watercolour paper and coloured with my watercolours. I then stamped the sentiment from Blooming Sentiments set onto the upper corner and sponged some green Distress Oxide ink onto the three edges of the panel before adhering it onto kraft coloured cardstock and then my card base.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Stamping Sensations: Spring Florals (my 3rd entry)

Mustetin paneelin reunoja Distress Oxide -musteella, kerrostin kartongille ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Springtime Sigh

It's time for a mid-way reminder at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is 'Anything Goes' with the optional theme of 'Think Spring'. There is a prize up for grabs as well, 1-2-3 Stitch is giving our winner a USD20 voucher.

I went with the optional Think Spring theme which I associate with flowers (oh I cannot wait to see flowers popping up!) and decided to use this gorgeous new floral stamp from Penny Black called Springtime Sigh. I watercoloured the image and fussy cut it out. I stamped the sentiment from the Blooming Sentiments set onto a little sign that I die cut with the new Sign set. For the background, I used a piece of patterned paper from Beau Jardins paper pad and added a pink panel die cut with Stitches of Love die. Lastly, I embellished my card with a ribbon tied into a bow and some enamel dots.

All products used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Springtime Sigh (40-732)
* Blooming Sentiments (30-703)
* Sign (51-608)
* Stitches of Love (51-597)

Penny Black Saturday Challengessa ollaan jo puolivälissä. Aihe on Anything Goes ja valinnainen aihe Think Spring. Palkintokin voittajalle on, 1-2-3 Stitch lahjoittaa USD 20 -arvoisen lahjakortin voittajalle. Itse menin kevät-linjalle ja käytin korttiini tätä uutta Penny Blackin leimaa Springtime Sigh. Väritin sen vesiväreillä ja leikkasin irti. Tekstileiman Blooming Sentiments -setistä leimasin pieneen kylttiin, jonka stanssasin Sign-setin stanssilla. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia Beau Jardins -paperikosta ja pinkin paneelin, jonka stanssasin Stitches of Love -setin stanssilla.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Layered Leaves

I love this die from Penny Black's new release Secret Garden. It's called Layered Leaves and it's so simple and elegant. For this card, I die cut it out of white cardstock and then just glued different coloured cardstock behind the leaves, trimming off excess. I adhered it to my cardbase and stamped the sentiment from Blooming Sentiments set in yellow. I love that sentiment and think it's very apt for the unusual times we live in. I wanted to keep the card as CAS as possible so I didn't use any embellishments.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* CAS Colors & Sketches: Challenge #362 - Colors
* Perfectly CAS: Challenge #7 - Die Cuts
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Whatever the Weather (a positive encouraging sentiment for anyone feeling under the weather)

All products used are from the new Penny Black release called Secret Garden that is available in their online store:
* Layered Leaves (51-633)
* Blooming Sentiments (30-703)

CAS-kortti uusilla Penny Black -tuotteilla, tähän käytin Layered Leaves -stanssia. Stanssasin sen ensin valkoisesta kartongista ja sitten liimasin taustalle värillistä kartonkia ja leikkasin ylimääräiset irti. Stanssattu kuvio korttipohjaan kiinni ja tekstileima Blooming Sentiments -setistä keltaisella leimattuna, siinäpä se :) Käytetyt tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Spring green - Keväisen vihreää

My dear friend and crafty pal Nonni and I decided to challenge ourselves to make a card with the same stamped image. We chose Violet by Stamping Bella as our image and both did our cards without showing each other what we made but today is the "reveal day" :D I coloured my image with Copic markers and tried my hand in colouring folds which turned out quite well to my surprise! I also used a bit of patterned paper and a stamped and die cut sentiment (it says 'Congrats'). I embellished the card with some enamel dots and a "branch" I die cut with a Penny Black die.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #157 - Birthday (Happy 6th birthday, TIME OUT!)

Ihana Nonni ja minä haastoimme toisemme tekemään kortin samalla leimakuvalla, joksi valikoitui tämä Stamping Bellan Violet. Väritin omani Copiceilla, käytin hieman kuviopaperia ja leimattua sekä stanssattua tekstiä. Koristelin kortin enamel dotseilla ja pienellä "oksalla", jonka stanssasin Penny Blackin stanssilla (leikkasin vain stanssatun kuvion kahtia).

Penny Black Secret Garden: Exquisite Envelope

I made a 'just because' card with some new stamps from Penny Black. The envelope and the flowers are from the set Exquisite Envelope, I coloured the images with watercolours and die cut them with the matching dies. For the background, I used a piece of patterned paper from Gentle Whisper paper pad onto which I stamped with the new stamp Vintage Postcard. I also sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the patterned paper panel and stamped the sentiment from the Magical Friendship set. I added a bit of doily behind the envelope before attaching it.

Penny Black Secret Garden: The Ride

I think I might just want a vespa now... Ha ha! This little vespa was such fun to colour, it's a new stamp by Penny Black called The Ride. I coloured it with my watercolours and fussy cut it out.

I attached the vespa with foam adhesives and embellished the card with some enamel dots.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Blooming Bunch

What's more beautiful than a tulip? A bunch of them! Loving this new stamp from the new Penny Black release, Secret Garden, called Blooming Bunch. Such a beautiful stamp and so lovely to colour. I stamped it onto watercolour card and coloured with my Lukas Aquarell 1862 watercolours before sponging some Distress Oxide ink onto its edges.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Herb Garden - and some news!

I have some lovely news to share today! I was accepted into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Design Team! Woop woop! I've played along their challenges many times and it is so wonderful to be accepted into the DT. Thank you so much, PBSC ladies, for accepting me! :)

The theme over at PBSC is always 'Anything Goes' (as long as you use a Penny Black image) but there is always an optional theme as well, and in March it is 'Think Spring'. For me, spring means new growth, a time to (re-)pot plants and to eagerly wait for new growth and I chose my Penny Black stamp with this in mind. The stamp I used is a new one, it's called Herb Garden. I stamped it onto watercolour paper and coloured with my watercolours. I also added some watercolour splatters.  The sentiment I used comes with the Herb Garden stamp. After I stamped it, I matted the panel onto some dark brown cardstock before adhering it to the card base.

The stamp I used is by Penny Black and from their newest release, Secret Garden. You can find the stamp in their online store:
* Herb Garden (40-736)


Now please visit the Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog to see the gorgeous cards created by the Design Team and to find out how to enter the challenge.

Tällä kertaa minulla on uutisia: minut hyväksyttiin Penny Black Saturday Challengen Design Teamiin! Olen osallistunut PBSC:n haasteisiin usein, joten Design Teamiin pääsy oli todella mukava yllätys :)

Aiheena PBSC:ssä on aina 'Anything Goes' eli kaikki käy, kunhan käyttää Penny Blackin leimoja. Vaihtoehtoinen aihekin on ja maaliskuussa se on 'Think Spring'. Minulle kevät merkitsee uutta kasvua, kasvien istuttamista ja niiden kasvun odottelua ja tämän perusteella valitsin käyttämäni leiman. Se on uusi leima nimeltään Herb Garden. Leimasin sen vesiväripaperille ja väritin vesiväreillä, muutaman roiskeenkin lisäsin. Tekstileima on samaisesta setistä. Paneelin kerrostin tummanruskealle kartongille ja lopulta korttipohjaan. 

Käyttämäni leima on siis Penny Blackin uudesta kokoelmasta Secret Garden ja käyttämäni leiman löydät yllä olevan linkin takaa.

The frame I used is die cut with the die set Framed, I adhered it in place and stamped the sentiment from the set Magical Friendship inside it. Lastly, I adhered the vase in place with foam adhesives.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

AAA Birthday: March - Maaliskuu

It's time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday and this time our theme is 'Flowers'. We also have two  Guest Designers joining us, Dhruvika and Tasha.

For my DT card I used a gorgeous floral stamp by MFT, this is called Floral Focus. I coloured it with my Copic markers and die cut it with its matching die. I wanted to keep the card simple, so I die cut a panel out of white textured cardstock with the new Penny Black die Simple Stackers. I then adhered the floral image in place, stamped my sentiment (it says 'Happy Birthday' in Finnish) and adhered the panel onto my cardbase. Lastly, I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

So now it's your turn! Please do come and join us with a floral birthday card, but before you get going, hop on over to AAA Birthday to see the wonderful cards created by my team mates and our Guest Designers.



AAA Birthdayssä on uuden haasteen aika ja tällä  kertaa aiheena on Flowers eli kukat. Guest Designereita meillä on kaksi, Dhruvika ja Tasha.  

Omaan korttiini käytin MFT:n ihanaa Floral Focus -leimaa, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Halusin pitää kortin yksinkertaisena, joten stanssasin taustalle paneelin valkoisesta teksturoidusta kartongista uudella Penny Blackin stanssilla Simple Stackers. Sitten kiinnitin kukan paikalleen ja leimasin tekstin ennen kuin kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla enamel dotsilla.

AAA Birthdaystä löytyy tiimiläisten ja Guest Designerien kortit (kannattaa käydä kurkkaamassa! :) ) ja ohjeet osallistumiseen.

Penny Black Secret Garden: Country Charisma

I made a just because card with some of the new stamps and dies from the fab new release by Penny Black called Secret Garden. The set I used for this is called Country Charisma and there is a set of matching dies for it called Country Charisma Cut Out. I coloured both the watering can and the branch with my Copics and used the dies to cut them out. I then carefully cut an opening to the watering can with my craft knife so I was able to slide the branch in place. For the background, I die cut a panel using the new Simple Stackers die. I sponged some Distress Oxide ink to it, stamped the sentiment from the new set Magical Friendship and attached the watering can with the branch to it with foam adhesives. Lastly, I adhered the panel to teal coloured cardbase.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #156 - Photo Challenge

Tämän kortin tein uudella Penny Blackin leimasetillä Country Charisma. Väritin vesikannun ja oksan Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti Country Charisma Cut Out -stansseilla. Kannuun tein pienen viillon askarteluveitsellä, että sain oksan kannun sisään. Taustan stanssasin uudella Simple Stackers -stanssilla, mustetin hieman ja leimasin tekstileiman setistä Magical Friendship, minkä jälkeen kiinnitin leimakuvan tarrapaloilla paneeliin.
