Penny Black Daydream: For You

Once again I've made a birthday card (you can never have too many of those!) and this time with new stamps and dies from the new release by Penny Black called Daydream.

The stamp I used is called ...For You and I think the mice are the cutest ones around! I coloured the image with my Zig markers and fussy cut it. I then die cut the frame using the new Sewing Stackers dies, adhered a piece of vellum behind it and heat embossed a sentiment from the set Carefree Wishes on the vellum. I adhered a piece of patterned paper from the paper pad Beau Jardins on my card base and adhered the frame with the vellum on it. I adhered the stamped image in place with foam adhesives and embellished the card with some tiny gold sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #399 - Any Occasion

* Allsorts Challenge: Week 316 - Feminine

All products used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* ...For You (30-801)

* Sewing Stackers (51-651)

* Carefree Wishes (30-700)

* Beau Jardins (80-011)

Tämä synttärikortti syntyi Penny Blackin uusilla leimoilla kokoelmasta Daydream. Käytin tähän uutta leimaa ...For You, väritin leimakuvan Zigeillä ja leikkasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin uusilla Sewing Stackers -stansseilla, kiinnitin vellumia sen taakse ja embossasin siihen tekstin setistä Carefree Wishes. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia setistä Beau Jardins, kiinnitin kaiken paikoilleen ja koristelin kortin pienillä kultapaljeteilla. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Floral cluster - Kukkarykelmä

 I made a birthday card with one of my newest stamps, this is Poppy Hawthorn by Waffle Flower Crafts. I coloured the image with my Copics and adhered it to a simple background of matted grey cardstocks splattered with some white watercolour. I heat embossed the sentiment ('Huge congrats') on a strip of grey cardstock, adhered it in place and embellished the card with some white sticky back pearls.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #182 - 7th Birthday Celebration (Happy birthday, TIME OUT Challenges!!)

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC310 - All about Occasions

Synttärikortti Waffle Flower Craftsin leimalla Poppy Hawthorn. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja kiinnitin sen harmaalle kartongille, jonka roiskin valkoisella vesivärillä. Tekstileiman embossasin kartonkistripille ja koristelin kortin puolihelmillä.

Penny Black Love and Happiness: HedgeHUGS

I made this 'almost a one layer card' with the cute bear from the Penny Black stamp set HedgeHUGS. This stamp can be used for Valentine's Day cards but I think it's perfect for birthday cards as well which is what I made.

I used watercolour cardstock as my cardbase and stamped the bear straight onto it before colouring the image with my Zig markers. I also added a bit of white gel pen to it. I then masked the rectangle and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage onto it. The sentiment comes from the sentiment set Snippets, I heat embossed it in white onto a strip of grey cardstock. 

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* AAA Cards: Game #184 - Sketch + optional twist of watercolour

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Favourite Technique (watercolouring)

All stamps used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* HedgeHUGS (30-794)

* Snippets (30-283)

Tein tämän kortin leimalla Penny Blackin setistä HedgeHUGS. Tämä leima käy ystävänpäiväkortteihin mutta mielestäni myös synttärikortteihin, joten sellaisen tein. Leimasin nallen suoraan vesivärikartongista taitellulle korttipohjalle ja väritin Zigeillä. Lisäilin myös hieman valkoista geelikynää. Sitten maskasin suorakulmion ja mustetin sitä Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Bundled Sage. Tekstileima on setistä Snippets, embossasin sen kartonkisoirolle. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

A pile of presents - Lahjapino

 I bought this Colorado Craft Company/Anita Jeram stamp set Christmas Presents before last Christmas but only had time to make one Christmas card with it. I now thought I might try and stretch the stamps a bit and make a birthday card with them. I think this image works for birthday cards as well, what do you think? 

I coloured the image with my Zig markers, die cut the frame with Penny Black die Stitched Nested Frames and stamped my sentiment on it (it says 'Congratulations'). I matted the panel onto some light grey cardstock and adhered it then on a piece of patterned paper. There was a snowman illustrated onto one of the gift tags on the presents, I simply used a tiny die cut heart to cover it. 

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Inkspirational Challenges: Challenge #233 - Tower (a tower of presents here)

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Favourite Technique (watercolouring)

* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #399 - Any Occasion (birthday)

Colorado Craft Companyn Anita Jeram -leimasetti Christmas Presents on joululeimasetti, mutta en ehtinyt niillä montakaan joulukorttia viime jouluksi tehdä, joten ajattelin nyt vähän "venyttää" leimoja ja käyttää tätä synttärikorttiin. Sopiihan tämä siihenkin, vai mitä? Väritin leimakuvan Zigeillä, stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin Stitched Nested Frames -stanssilla ja leimasin Heidin Korttipajan tekstileiman siihen ennen kuin kerrostin paneelin vaaleanharmaalle kartongille. Taakse laitoin hieman kuviopaperia. Yhdessä leimakuvan lahjatägissä oli lumiukon kuva, mutta peitin sen pienellä stanssatulla sydämellä. Muuta koristetta en korttiin laittanutkaan.

PBSC: February - Helmikuu

We're half way through the February challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme of Paper Piecing. 

I decided to go with the Anything Goes theme and use this gorgeous floral stamp by Penny Black called Rosa. I coloured directly on the stamp with my Zig markers and stamped onto watercolour paper. I repeated this a few times and when I was happy with the colours, I went through the image with a damp watercolour brush. My sentiment is from Love Quotes sentiment set, I heat embossed in gold the word 'love' and then stamped the rest of the sentiment with regular black ink.  Lastly, I splattered the panel with some blue and gold watercolour before adhering the panel onto blue cardbase. 

All stamps used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* Rosa (40-741)

* Love Quotes (30-792)

Helmikuun haaste Penny Black Saturday Challengessä on puolessa välissä. Aiheena on Anything Goes ja vaihtoehtoisena Paper Piecing.

Valitsin Anything Goes -teeman ja käytin Penny Blackin ihanaa Rosa-leimaa. Väritin suoraan leimaan Zigeillä ja leimasin vesiväripaperille useampaan kertaan. Kun olin tyytyväinen väriin, kävin leimakuvan läpi kostealla vesiväripensselillä. Tekstileima on setistä Love Quotes, embossasin sanan love kullalla ja leimasin lopun mustalla musteella. Lopuksi roiskin paneeliin sinistä ja kultaista vesiväriä ja kiinnitin paneelin sinisella korttipohjalle. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

On a swing - Keinussa

I got this stamp by Stamping Bella some time ago but this is the first time I had a chance to ink it up. The stamp is called Bundle Girl on a Swing and I think it's so cute. I coloured the image with my Copics and stamped the sentiment (roughly translated: Happiness and light to you). Then I die cut the panel and die cut the pink mat behind it. I added some patterned paper behind it, adhered the panel onto it with foam adhesives and embellished the card with some enamel dots. 

Tämä suloinen leima on Stamping Bellan Bundle Girl on a Swing. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja leimasin siihen tekstileiman. Sitten stanssasin paneelin ja sen taakse vaaleanpunaisen paneelin. Taustalle hieman kuviopaperi, paneeli siihen kiinni kohotarroilla ja koristeiksi muutama enamel dotsi. 

The Flower Challenge: February - Helmikuu

 

I'm here with my reminder card for the current challenge at The Flower Challenge where the theme for February is 'Use your latest stamps or dies'. As our Guest Designer, we have the talented Sathya joining us. There's also some DT news: the very talented Jyoti Adhikari has joined the TFC Design Team and I am stepping down after this challenge. I have loved being a part of the DT for the past 2,5 years but at the moment life is just too busy for me so I feel I need to step down. Thank you so much Viv, Aileen and the DT for these years of creativity!

But onto my card. My latest stamps are Penny Black stamps and this particular stamp is from the set Blooms. I coloured it with my Copics and then fussy cut it. I die cut the frame with Hexagon Frames die and heat embossed the sentiment from the Love Quotes sentiment set. I adhered the panel onto light grey cardstock, adhered the stamped image with some foam adhesives and embellished the card with sequins.

Please visit The Flower Challenge blog to see the gorgeous cards created by the DT and our Guest Designer and don't forget to join the challenge! :)

All stamps and dies are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* Blooms (30-679)

* Hexagon Frames (51-640)

Helmikuun haaste The Flower Challengessä on puolessa välissä. Aiheena helmikuussa on 'Use your latest stamps or dies' ja Guest Designerina meillä on Sathya. DT-uutisiakin The Flower Challengessä on: helmikuusta porukkaan liittyi Jyoti Adhikari ja tämän kuun jälkeen minä jään pois. Olen ollut mukana 2,5 mahtavaa vuotta, mutta nyt elämä on sen verran kiireistä, että koen parhaimmaksi jäädä pois. 

Viimeiseen DT-korttiini käytin uusimpia leimojani, jotka ovat Penny Blackin. Tämä kukkaleima on setistä Blooms, väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin Hexagon Frames -stanssilla ja tekstileiman setistä Love Quotes embossasin kullalla. Kiinnitin paneelin vaaleanharmaaseen kartonkiin, leimakuvan kohotarroilla siihen ja koristelin lopuksi korttini paljeteilla.

Penny Black Love and Happiness: Wagon Ride

A wagon full of hearts for Valentine's Day! I thought this wagon with loads of hearts would make a perfect Valentine's Day card. The dies and stamps I used are all by Penny Black.

I die cut the wagon with Wagon Ride die and coloured the elements with my Copics. The bigger hearts are die cut with ...Is Coming! die and the smaller ones with Hearts Galore die. The sentiment is from Rain or Shine stamp set, I only used a part of it. I die cut the panel with Stitches of Love die, left it in place and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Peeled Paint and Speckled Egg to create the ground and the sky. I then matted the panel onto black cardstock and added a bit of patterned paper behind it from the paper pad Gentle Whisper.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Inkspirational Challenges: Challenge #232 - Hearts

Tälläinen ystävänpäiväkortti syntyi Penny Blackin stansseilla. Stanssasin kärryn Wagon Ride -stanssilla ja väritin osaset Copiceilla. Isommat sydämet stanssasin ...Is Coming! -stanssilla ja pienemmät Hearts Galore -stanssilla. Tekstileima, josta käytin vain osan, on Rain or Shine -leimasetistä. Paneelin stanssasin Stitches of Love -stanssilla, jätin sen paikalleen ja mustetin maan ja taivaan Distress Oxide -musteilla. Kerrostin paneelin mustalle kartongille ja laitoin taakse kuviopaperia paperikosta Gentle Whisper.

Penny Black Love and Happiness: Love&Happiness

Here's a friendship card I made with some new stamps from the new Penny Black release Love and Happiness. 

I used stamps from two new stamp sets, the bunny and the butterflies are from the set Love&Happiness and the flower is from the set Heart Hedgies. I stamped them on watercolour paper and coloured them with my Zig markers. I die cut the frame with Looped Stackers die and stamped my sentiment on a banner die cut with Pocket and Banners die. The sentiment itself is from the set Rain or Shine. I added a bit of patterned paper to the background from the paper pad Wintertime and embellished the card with one single enamel dot. 

All products used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* Love&Happiness (30-789)

Tällaisen ystävänpäiväkortin tein uusilla Penny Black -leimoilla Love and Happiness -kokoelmasta. Käytin tähän kahta eri leimasettiä, pupu ja perhoset ovat setistä Love&Happiness ja kukka on setistä Heart Hedgies. Leimasin ne vesiväripaperille ja väritin Zigeillä. Kehykset stanssasin Looped Stackers -stanssilla ja taustalle laitoin paperia paperikosta Wintertime. Tekstileima on setistä Rain or Shine, leimasin sen bannerille, jonka stanssasin Pocket and Banners -stanssilla. Koristeeksi laitoin yhden enamel dotsin. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä. 

Bouquet - Kimppu

Here's a birthday card I made with the Waffle Flower stamp Bouquet Builder 3. I really love this stamp, the bouquet looks like a perfect summer bouquet! I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut the panel with an MFT die. As the stamped image is a large one, I didn't want to add much to it. I just added a sentiment strip with heat embossed sentiment ('Huge congrats'), matted the panel onto some gold cardstock before matting it to green cardbase and added some gold sequins to embellish the card.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #398 - Birthdays

* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC308 - All About Occasions

Tein tämän synttärikortin Waffle Flowerin leimalla Bouquet Builder 3, leimakuvan väritin Copiceilla. Stanssasin paneelin MFT:n stanssilla ja kerrostin sen kultaiselle kartongille ja sitten vihreään korttipohjaan. Tekstileiman embossasin kartonkisuikaleelle ja koristelin kortin paljeteilla.

Penny Black Love and Happiness: My Sweet

 Here's a card I made with new stamps from the new Penny Black release called Love and Happiness. The strawberry stamp is from the new stamp set called My Sweet, I masked it and stamped it three times before colouring them with my Copics. For the sentiment I used stamps ('you're' and 'so') from the sentiment set Huggable and then die cut the word 'sweet' with the word die from Yummy Cut Out. I matted the panel onto pink cardstock and then onto red panel die cut with Stitches of Love die. I also added patterned paper from the paper pad Summertime.

I'm entering my card to the following challenge:

I then die cut the blue frame with Ribbon Stackers die and adhered it to cream coloured cardstock that I had die cut with Hearts Galore die before adhering the whole panel onto pink cardstock. The sentiment comes from the new stamp set Heart Hedgies. For the background I added a piece of patterned paper from the paper pad Painted Blooms before embellishing the card with some tiny clear sequins.

Penny Black Love and Happiness: Blooms

I'm sharing a clean and simple card made with goodies from the new Penny Black release called Love and Happiness.

I used a floral stamp from the new stamp set Blooms and coloured it with my Copics before fussy cutting it. I then created the background by tearing some masking paper and attaching it to my cardbase before sponging some Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage onto the cardbase. After the ink was dry, I heat embossed a sentiment from the new sentiment set Dream.Love Sentiments with gold embossing powder. I die cut the frames with the new Hexagon Frames dies, adhered them in place and adhered the flower in its place. I also added a bit of gold gel pen to the centre of the flower and added some sequins to embellish the card.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

Taustalle maskasin revistystä maskauspaperista soiron, johon levitin Distress Oxide -mustetta sävyssä Bundled Sage. Tekstileima on setistä Dream.Love Sentiments, embossasin sen kultaisella jauheella ja lisäsin ympärille kehykset, jotka stanssasin Hexagon Frames -stansseilla. Lopuksi kiinnitin kukan paikalleen ja koristelin kortin paljeteilla. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

AAA Birthday: February - Helmikuu

I coloured the image with my Copics and fussy cut it out. For my large sentiment, I used a die by Stamping Bella. The patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley and the frame is die cut with a MFT die. As embellishments, I used some glittery silver enamel dots.
