Just because - Ihan muuten vain

A 'just because' card I made with a stamp by Stamping Bella. This is called 'There there tiny townie' and I coloured the image with my Copics and added some accents with a white Gelly Roll pen. I then die cut the bottom edge of the panel with a Simon Says Stamp die and added a bit of patterned paper there. I heat embossed the Stamping Bella sentiment to a strip of cardstock die cut with an MFT die and embellished it with some baker's twine. Lastly, I added some sequins to embellish the card.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges: 

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC282 - Anything Goes

* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #167 - Inspired by Words 'Your Love Starts a Dance Party in My Heart' (she just received a letter full of love)

Tämä kortti syntyi Stamping Bellan There there tiny townie -leimalla. Väritin kuvan Copiceilla ja lisäilin yksityiskohtia valkoisella geelikynällä. Paneelin alareunan stanssasin Simon Says Stampin stanssilla ja lisäsin alle kuviopaperia. Stamping Bellan tekstileiman embossasin valkoisella kartongin palaselle, jonka stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla ja koristelin nyörillä. Lopuksi koristelin koko kortin paljeteilla.

No-one is you - Ei kahta samanlaista

Another Stamping Bella image inked up for the first time here, this is Curvy Girl Loves Essential Oils. I kept everything very simple again, the image is coloured with Copics, the panel is die cut with Dainty Dashes die by Penny Black, a sentiment from the Good Vibes sentiment set by Stamping Bella and some yummy patterned paper for the background.

Taas Stamping Bella -leimalla tehty kortti, tämä on Curvy Girl Loves Essential Oils. Kortti on taas melko pelkistetty: väritys Copiceilla, stanssaus Penny Blackin Dainty Dashes -stanssilla, tekstileima Stamping Bellan Good Vibes -setistä ja taustalle kuviopaperia.

Yogi - Joogaaja

I couldn't resist these yogi-themed stamps by Stamping Bella so I'm continuing a theme from yesterday. This stamp is called Yoga Mochi Girl and she is fun to colour! I coloured her using my Copics and die cut the panel with a frame die by Penny Black. I stamped the sentiment from the Good Vibes sentiment set by Stamping Bella and added some sequins to embellish the card. I also added a bit of patterned paper for the background.

Jooga-teema jatkuu, tämä on Stamping Bellan Yoga Mochi Girl, jonka väritin Copiceilla. Stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin stanssilla ja tekstileima on Stamping Bellan setistä Good Vibes. Taustalle hieman kuviopaperia ja koristeiksi paljetteja.

Positive vibes - Hyviä viboja

I made this card specifically for a challenge because I had just the right stamp to use for it! TIME OUT Challenges' cue word is 'Peaceful' and one of my new Stamping Bella stamps is pretty much made for it :) The stamp is called Curvy Girl Namaste, I coloured it with my Copics on a panel that I die cut with an MFT die. The sentiment strip is die cut with an MFT die as well, and I heat embossed the sentiment from the Good Vibes sentiment set by Stamping Bella. I used  a bit of patterned paper for the background and embellished the card with a bit of string and some sequins.

I'm entering my card to:
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #166 - Peaceful

Tämän kortin tein ihan varta vasten haasteeseen. Leimakuva on Stamping Bellan Curvy Girl Namaste, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin paneelin MFT:n stanssilla. Bannerikin on MFT:n stanssilla stanssattu ja tekstileima on Stamping Bellan Good Vibes -tekstileimasetistä, embossasin sen valkoisella. Taustalle vähän kuviopaperia ja koristeiksi nyöriä ja jokunen paljetti.

PBSC: July - Heinäkuu

The July challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge is midway through and this month our theme is, as always, Anything Goes with the optional theme of Nature. As our Guest Designer, we have the talented Loll joining us.

I chose to use the optional theme of Nature again and created this clean and simple card using a silhouette stamp from the new Penny Black stamp set Soulful Silhouettes. I heat embossed it in white and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in pink around it. I die cut the panel with the new Dainty Dashes die set. I heat embossed the sentiment from the new Trust Me Builder sentiment set onto a strip of vellum that I adhered to the panel before matting it onto my card base.

All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and from their new fabulous release called Refreshing that is available in their online store:
* Soulful Silhouettes (30-691)
* Trust Me Builder (30-710)
* Dainty Dashes (51-636)

Heinäkuun haaste on täydessä vauhdissa Penny Black Saturday Challengessä ja aiheena on, kuten aina, Anything Goes. Vaihtoehtoinen aihe on Nature. Guest Designerina meillä on Loll.

Käytin korttiini Penny Blackin uutta Soulful Silhouettes -leimasettiä, josta valitsin yhden leiman, jonka embossasin valkoisella. Mustetin leimakuvan ympärystää hieman Distress Oxide -musteella ja stanssasin paneelin uudella Dainty Dashes -stanssisetillä. Tekstileima on Trust Me Builder -tekstileimasetistä, embossasin sen valkoisella vellumille ja kiinnitin paneeliin ja paneelin korttipohjaan. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat Penny Blackin uudesta kokoelmasta Refreshing ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

The Flower Challenge: #46 Reminder - Muistutus

We're half way through our July challenge at The Flower Challenge and our theme is Summer/Winter. As our Guest Designer, we have the talented Mac Mable joining us.

I chose 'Summer' again and chose the colours of a summer sunset with the silhouettes of flowers against it. I sponged some Distress Oxide inks to the top portion of my card base and stamped flowers onto it from the new Penny Black stamp set Soulful Silhouettes (30-691).  I then took a strip of dark grey cardstock and added a little border with it. I chose a sentiment from the new Penny Black sentiment set Words of Encouragement (30-720)  and stamped it with the same ink as I did the flowers.  Lastly, I rounded the bottom corners of my card.

I hope you pop by The Flower Challenge blog for all the details on how to enter our July challenge and to see the gorgeous cards created by my team mates and our wonderful Guest Designer.

Heinäkuun haaste on puolessa The Flower Challengessä ja aiheenahan on 'Summer/Winter'. Guest Designerina meillä on Mac Mable.

Itse valitsin taas kesän aiheekseni ja erityisesti kesäisen auringonlaskun värit. Mustetin korttipohjaani Distress Oxide -musteita ja leimasin siihen päälle kukkia uudesta Penny Blackin setistä Soulful Silhouettes (30-691). Lisäsin siihen vielä pienen kaitaleen tummanharmaata kartonkia, jonka alle leimasin tekstileiman Penny Blackin setistä Words of Encouragement (30-712). Lopuksi pyöristin vielä kortin alakulmat.

Penny Black Refreshing: Refreshing

Here are two cards that I made with the gorgeous new stamp set from Penny Black called Refreshing. For the first card I used the vase with the beautiful peonies, I heat embossed the image in white and watercoloured it before fussy cutting it. For the background, I used a frame die cut with Dainty Dashes die set matted onto white and then light grey cardstock. The sentiment comes from the new Trust Me Builder sentiment set, I stamped the first part and heat embossed the second part. I adhered everything in place, the vase and the sentiment strip are both adhered with foam adhesives for a little dimension. Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Allsorts Challenge: Week 580 - I Spy with My Little Eye Something Beginning with B (Bouquet)
* Inkspirational: Challenge #217 - Painting or Colouring

For the second card, I coloured the floral image with my Zig markers before fussy cutting the image. I created a frame for it with the die set Framed, I adhered it straight onto my cardbase and then adhered the floral image to it. I used a sentiment from Grown with Love stamp set and stamped it onto my cardbase. Lastly, I embellished the card with sequins before rounding the bottom corners with a corner chomper.

All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and currently available in their online store:
* Refreshing (30-695)
* Trust Me Builder (30-710)
* Dainty Dashes (51-636)
* Framed (51-622)
* Grown with Love (30-713)

Tein pari korttia Penny Blackin uudella leimasetillä Refreshing. Ensimmäiseen korttiin embossasin leimakuvan ja väritin vesiväreilla, toiseen väritin Zigeillä, molemmat leikkasin irti. Ensimmäisessä kortissa stanssasin taustalle kehykset Dainty Dashes -stanssisetillä, toisessa Framed-stanssisetillä. Ensimmäisen kortin tekstileima on Trust Me Builder -tekstisetistä, toisen Grown with Love -leimasetistä. Molemmissa koristeina paljetteja. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit on Penny Blackin tuotantoa, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Birthday card - Synttärikortti

I made a birthday card with this Stamping Bella stamp that I've had for a while now but haven't had a chance to ink up yet. This one is called Bundle Girl with a Cornflower. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and added some white accents with a gelly roll pen. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of cardstock that I adhered with foam adhesives as I did the stamped panel. For the background I used some patterned papers and I embellished the card with sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC279 - All about Occasions

Tähän korttiin käytin Stamping Bellan Bundle Girl with a Cornflower -leimaa, väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja lisäilin siihen vähän valkoista geelikynää. Tekstistripin ja leimatun paneelin kiinnitin molemmat koholle kohotarroilla, taustalle hieman kuviopaperia ja koristelu paljeteilla.

AAA Birthday #15: July - Heinäkuu

We have a new challenge starting at AAA Birthday and this month we'd love to see anything '3D'. We have Rachelle joining us as our Guest Designer.

I have to confess, I'm not good at making pop-up boxes or diorama cards so I interpreted 3D as being anything that is not flat but is raised from the surface and created my card with this in mind. I created the background by masking the bottom left hand corner and sponging some Distress Oxide ink onto the cardbase. As my focal point, I have the cute hedgie from the new Penny Black set called Critter Delights (30-711), I coloured him with my Zig markers and fussy cut him out. I did the same to the bouquet he is holding, it's from the set Refreshing (30-695). I then popped them up on some foam adhesives. The sentiment is from the set Carefree Wishes (30-700), I heat embossed it onto a strip of dark brown cardstock and then adhered it onto the cardbase with foam adhesives. I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

Please do pop by AAA Birthday to see the gorgeous cards created by my team mates and our wonderful Guest Designer and don't forget to join us!

I'm also entering my card to the following challenge:
* Stamping Sensations: July- All Creatures Great and Small

Heinäkuun haaste AAA Birthdayssä on 3D ja Guest Designerina on Rachelle.

Itse en ole haka tekemään kovinkaan erikoisia 3D-kortteja, joten tulkitsin 3D:n tarkoittavan mitä tahansa koholla olevaa ja se mielessä tein korttini. Korttipohjaan maskasin alavasemman kulman ja mustetin korttipohjaa Distress Oxide -musteella. Leimakuvat on Penny Blackin uusia leimoja, siili on Critter Delights (30-711) -setistä ja kimppu Refreshing (30-695) -setistä. Väritin molemmat Zigeillä, leikkasin irti ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan tarrapaloilla. Teksti on Carefree Wishes -setistä, embossasin sen ja kiinnitin korttipohjaan niin ikään tarrapaloilla. Koristeiksi muutama enamel dotsi.

The Flower Challenge #46: July - Heinäkuu

 A new challenge is starting at The Flower Challenge and for the month of July our theme is Summer/Winter. You can draw inspiration from specific flowers of the season, or colours, or anything specific to the season, as long as you use floral stamps as your main focal point.  We have Mac Mable joining us as our Guest Designer.

I chose summer as my theme and I'm not sure if there is anything more summery than a field of flowers. That in mind I picked this gorgeous floral stamp by Stamping Bella, it's called Floral Forest Backdrop. I coloured it with my Copic markers and added some white gelly roll pen here and there. I matted the panel onto a piece of black cardstock before adhering it to my purple cardbase. I stamped my sentiment ('Congratulations') onto a strip of cardstock and adhered it in place. Lastly, I embellished my card with some sequins.

Please do pop by The Flower Challenge blog to see the cards created by my team mates for your inspiration. And don't forget to join us!

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Bright and Cheerful

Heinäkuun aiheena The Flower Challengessä on Summer/Winter ja Guest Designerina meillä on Mac Mable.

Itse valitsin teemaksi kesän ja koska mikään ei ole kesäisempää kuin kukkapelto, valitsin leimakuvaksi tämän Stamping Bellan Floral Forest Backdropin, jonka väritin Copiceilla. Kerrostin paneelin mustalle kartongille ennen liilaan korttipohjaan kiinnittämistä ja lisäsin tekstin. Koristelin kortin paljeteilla.

PBSC: July - Heinäkuu

It's time for the July challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge and the theme is, as always, Anything Goes. The optional theme is Nature. We have an amazing Guest Designer as Loll is joining us this month. There is also a prize for the winner, a $20 voucher to 1-2-3 Stitch!

I went with the optional theme of Nature and used a new stamp from the fabulous new release by Penny Black, Refreshing. The stamp is called Grown with Love. I stamped it onto watercolour paper and coloured it with my Zig markers. I also added some accents with my white gelly roll pen and a bit of sparkle to the water (but of course it's not visible in the photo...). I die cut a window to my cream coloured panel with Stitched Circles die and matted the two panels together before adhering them to my cardbase. I heat embossed the sentiment that comes with the Grown with Love stamp set onto a strip of dark brown cardstock, adhered it in place and embellished it with two little hearts die cut with Hearts Galore die.

All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Grown with Love (30-713)
* Stitched Circles (51-551)
* Hearts Galore (51-492)

Heinäkuun haaste on alkamassa Penny Black Saturday Challengessä ja aihe on, kuten aina, Anything Goes, vapaavalintainen aihe on Nature. Palkinto on voittajalle luvassa, $20 lahjakortti  1-2-3 Stitch!:iin.

Tein vapaavalintaisen teeman mukaan luontoaiheisen kortin ja käytin siihen uutta leimaa, Grown with Love, Penny Blackin uudesta kokoelmasta Refreshing. Väritin leimakuvan Zigeillä ja lisäilin valkoista geelikynää sinne tänne ja kimalletta veteen (vaikka se ei kuvassa näykään..). Paneeliin stanssasin ikkunan Stitched Circles -setin stanssilla ja kiinnitin paikoilleen. Tekstileima on Grown with Love -setistä, embossasin sen kartonkisuikaleelle, kiinnitin paikoilleen ja koristelin parilla sydämellä, Hearts Galore -stanssilla stanssatut.  Kaikki tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Refreshing: Illustrious

I made a couple of cards with the gorgeous new floral stamp from the new Penny Black release called Refreshing. The stamp is called Illustrious.

The first card is a one-layer. I folded the card base out of watercolour cardstock and stamped the image on it before watercolouring it. After watercolouring I masked the upper right hand corner and sponged some Distress Oxide ink onto the cardbase. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the new Trust Me Builder sentiment set.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
* Addicted to CAS: Challenge #187 - One Layer

For the second card, I used some Copic friendly cardstock in kraft colour and stamped the background stamp Vintage Postcard onto it before stamping it with the Illustrious stamp. I coloured the image with my Copics and stamped a sentiment from the sentiment set Words of Encouragement onto it. I then matted the panel onto some purple cardstock before adhering it to my kraft coloured cardbase. I embellished the card with some sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #165 - Days Gone By (Optional: Embellishments)

All stamps used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Illustrious (40-735)
