Penny Black Refreshing: Critter Delights

I'm sharing more cards made with stamps and dies from the new gorgeous release by Penny Black called Refreshing. This time I'm using the cutest of stamp sets called Critter Delights.

For the first card, I used to stamps from the Critter Delights set, the mice are two different stamps but I thought they'd go well together so I combined them to create a scene. I watercoloured the image with my Zig markers and added some accents with a white gelly roll pen before die cutting the panel with the new Dainty Dashes frame die set. I stamped the sentiment from the Words of Encouragement sentiment set. For the background I die cut a panel out of green cardstock and layered it with the main panel. I also used a bit of patterned paper from Beau Jardins paper pad. I die cut a tiny paper clip using Just a Note die set and used it as an embellishment.

I'm entering this card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Allsorts Challenge: Week 578 - So Cute

For the second card, I used three different images from the Critter Delights set and stamped them so that it looks like they're hurrying to celebrate a birthday along a hill die cut with Curved Stitch die. I coloured the images with my Zig markers again and sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the sky. I stamped the sentiment from Carefree Wishes sentiment set and added a tiny heart next to it die cut with Hearts Galore die. For the green hill I used patterned paper from Beau Jardins paper pad.

I'm entering this card to the following challenges:
* Seize the Birthday: Challenge #193 - Watercolouring

Penny Black Refreshing: Yummy

Penny Black has just released a fabulous new collection of stamps and dies called Refreshing and I'm here to share a couple of cards I made with some of them. I used a stamp set called Yummy and the matching dies called Yummy Cut Out for both of them.

For the first card, I used all the characters in the set - such a sweet bunch of friends with their treats! I coloured the images (the kids and the bench) with my Copic markers and die cut them with the matching dies. The sun is an extra die that comes with Yummy Cut Out, I die cut it and coloured it with Copics as well. For the background, I die cut the panel using the new frame dies called Dainty Dashes and sponges some Distress Oxide ink to it. The grass is die cut with Garden Edgers die and I heat embossed the sentiment from the Trust Me Builder set on a strip of grey cardstock.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Stamping Sensations: June - Make It Colourful

For the second card, I used the sweet girl with her watermelon and the bench from the Yummy set, coloured them with my Copics and die cut with Yummy Cut Out dies. For the background, I sponged some green Distress Oxide ink and stamped  a leafy branch from the set Soulful Silhouettes with the same ink. I die cut the frame with Dainty Dashes frame dies and stamped the sentiment from the Words of Encouragement sentiment set. I also added a little heart next to the sentiment, I die cut it with Bear-y Much Cut Out dies.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:

The Flower Challenge #45: Reminder - Muistutus

We're midway through our June challenge at The Flower Challenge with the theme of 'Navy + One Other'. Our Guest Designer is Jenny Hall.

This time I went with navy and grey as my colours with white as the neutral colour.  I used Country Charisma stamp set (30-690) by Penny Black with the matching dies (Country Charisma Cut Out 51-634), and coloured the images with my Copics. For the background, I die cut a frame with Framed (51-622) die set by Penny Black. For the sentiment I combined a stamp from Only You (30-666) sentiment set with the die cut 'you' cut with For You dies (51-105), I heat embossed the stamped part of the sentiment.

Please do swing by The Flower Challenge blog to see all the wonderful inspiration created by my team mates and our Guest Designer, and don't forget to join in with your floral cards.

Puolessa välissä ollaan The Flower Challengen kesäkuun haastetta, jonka aiheena on värit 'navy + one other'. Guest Designerina meillä on Jenny Hall.

Käytin korttiini Penny Blackin leimasettiä Country Charisma stansseineen (30-690 ja 51-634), väritin leimakuvat Copiceilla. Taustalle stanssasin kehyksen Framed (51-622)-stanssisetin stanssilla. Tekstin yhdistelin leimasta (Only You -setistä 30-666) ja stanssatusta sanasta (For You -stanssisetistä 51-105).

Floral card - Kukkakortti

I made this birthday card with a stamp by Clearly Besotted called Make a Wish. I coloured it with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I added only a strip of patterned paper and the stamped sentiment but wanted to keep a clean feel to it, so I didn't use any embellishments.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black and More: June - Favourite Stamps (any floral stamp)
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #163 - Inspired by Words ('Blossom' was my cue word)

Synttärikortti syntyi tällä Clearly Besottedin leimalla. Väritys Copiceilla ja taustalle pieni pala kuviopaperia ja tekstileima, ei kummempia koristeita tällä kertaa.

The June challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge has started and the theme is, as always, 'Anything Goes'. The optional theme for June is 'Spots and/or Stripes'. Our Guest Designer is Bunny and the prize for our winner is $20 gift voucher from 1-2-3 Stitch.

My card features both spots and stripes in both the stamped image and patterned papers. The image I used is from the set Be Happy, I coloured it with my Copics.

I added a die cut leaf, a tag and a heart to the top corner (die cut with Penny Black dies Leaves, Gift Card Pocket, and Bear-y Much Cut Out respectively) and added a bit of twine, a sequin and some enamel dots as embellishments.

The Flower Challenge #45: June - Kesäkuu

The June challenge is starting at The Flower Challenge and this month we have a colour challenge to inspire you, we're asking you to use 'Navy + One Other'. Our Guest Designer is the fabulous Jenny Hall.

I decided to go with die cuts this time and used a Penny Black die called Playful Posies and die cut my very dark navy florals with it. My one other colour is white and I die cut two frames with Penny Black's Simple Stackers dies. After adhering everything in place, I stamped my sentiment ('Congratulations') in navy ink.

The Flower Challengessä alkaa uusi haaste ja kesäkuussa meillä on väriteema, 'Navy + One Other' eli navy-sininen ja joku muu väri. Guest Designerina meillä on Jenny Hall.

Omaan korttiini käytin Penny Blackin ihanaa kukkastanssia, Playful Posies, ja stanssasin kukkaset tummansinisestä kartongista. Toinen värini on valkoinen, joten stanssasin Penny Blackin Simple Stackers -stanssilla pari paneelia ja kiinnitin kaiken paikoilleen. Tekstileiman leimasin navy-musteella.

Cat - Kissa

I love this sweet looking kitty cat by Waffle Flower! It's from the set Smiling and I coloured it with my Copics before die cuttting it with the matching die. I used some patterned papers for the background, added my sentiment (it says 'All the Best') and embellished the card with some sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC274 - Anything Goes with a Feminine Twist
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #392 - Make Your Mark

Tämä Waffle Flowerin kissu on sitten maailman söpöin! Se on setistä Smiling, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia, Heidin Korttipajan tekstileimalla tekstin ja koristeiksi paljetteja. 

AAA Birthday #14: June - Kesäkuu

It's June 1st and a new challenge is starting at AAA Birthday. Our theme for June is 'Use Vellum' and we have a fab Guest Designer, Izzy Scrap. 

I just cannot get enough of these sweet bundle girls by Stamping Bella! For this card I used Bundle Girl with a Foxglove, I coloured her with my Copics and die cut her with the matching die. For the background, I chose a piece of pretty patterned paper and to create a slightly calmer background for the girl, I die cut a circle frame with an MFT die and attached some vellum behind it. I then attached everything in place, added my birthday sentiment and embellished the card with some sequins.

Now please pop by AAA Birthday blog to see all the fabulous cards created by my talented team mates and our Guest Designer and please do join us with your birthday cards!


Kesäkuu alkaa ja samoin alkaa uusi haaste AAA Birthdayssä. Teemana tässä kuussa on 'Use Vellum' eli vellumia pitäisi synttärikortissa käyttää tavalla tai toisella. Guest Designerina meillä on Izzy Scrap.

Nämä Stamping Bellan bundle girlit ovat niin suloisia, käytin tähän Bundle Girl with a Foxglove -leimaa. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia, MFT:n stanssilla stanssatun ympyräkehyksen ja sen taakse hieman vellumia. Sitten kiinnitin kaiken paikoilleen, lisäsin tekstit ja muutaman paljetin.
