Penny Black Hello Winter: Delicate Pines

I made this clean and simple card with new stamps from the new Penny Black collection, Hello Winter. The tree branches are from the set Delicate Pines, I coloured on the stamps with my Zig markers and stamped on my card panel, repeating this several times. I then took a damp watercolour brush and went through the image very gently. This gave the image a sort of watercoloured look. I then die cut the panel using Zig-Zag Stackers and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Lucky Clover on the panel. I also splattered some white watercolour on it. The lovely sentiment is from the sentiment set When Snow Falls. After stamping the sentiment, I matted the panel onto green cardstock before adhering the panel onto my white cardbase.

Polar Bear and Penguin - Jääkarhu ja Pingviini

I think this is the cutest polar bear ever! And his little penguin friend is just as sweet! They are both from the Penny Black stamp set 'Festive Frolic', coloured with my Copics. I die cut the panel with Zig Zag Stackers die by Penny Black and once again sponged a little Distress Oxide inks to the panel while keeping the die still in place. I die cut some snowflakes with Penny Black's Dancing Snowflakes dies, stamped my sentiment ('Merry Christmas and Happy New Year') and adhered the panel in place after placing some patterned paper behind it.

Tämä suloinen jääkarhu pingviiniystävänsä kanssa ovat Penny Blackin Festive Frolic -leimasetistä, väritin leimakuvat Copiceilla. Paneelin stanssasin Penny Blackin Zig Zag Stackers -stanssilla ja mustetin siihen hieman Distress Oxide -musteita. Tekstin leimaamisen jälkeen koristelin paneelin stanssatuilla lumihiutaleilla (Penny Blackin Dancing Snowflakes), laitoin korttipohjaan kuviopaperia ja kiinnitin paneelin siihen. 

Christmas Peace - Joulurauhaa

Here's a Christmas card I made using Tiny Townie Annie the Angel by Stamping Bella. I coloured her with my Copics and die cut the panel with Semi-Circle Stackers by Penny Black. I left the die in place and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen to the panel.  I placed some patterned paper behind the panel and added the die cut sentiment (it says 'Christmas Peace'). 

Tällainen joulukortti syntyi Stamping Bellan Tiny Townie Annie the Angel -leimalla. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja stanssasin paneelin Penny Blackin Semi-Circle Stackers -stanssilla. Ennen kuin irrotin stanssin, mustetin paneelin reunoja hieman Distress Oxide -musteella Antique Linen. Paneelin taustalle laitoin hieman kuviopaperia ja tekstiksi stanssatun tekstin.

Penny Black Hello Winter: Nature's Pennant

Here's a new stamp from the new Penny Black collection Hello Winter. This gorgeousness is called Nature's Pennant. 

I stamped the image on Copic-friendly cardstock and coloured it with my Copics before die cutting the panel with Semi-Circle Stackers die. Before removing the die, I sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy on the edges of the panel. I then heat embossed a sentiment from Here's to Xmas sentiment set onto a strip of dark brown cardstock and tied a little twine bow to it as an embellishment.

Tekstileima on setistä Here's to Xmas, embossasin sen tummanruskealle kartonkipalalle, jonka koristelin nyörirusetilla.

Penny Black Hello Winter: Hug a Snowman

Penny Black has just released a new collection of stamps and dies suitable for Christmas and winter-themed cards called Hello Winter. My card features a stamp from one of the sets called Hug a Snowman and I'm just in love with this fella! I think he's the cutest lil' snowman ever!

I stamped the image on Copic-friendly cardstock and coloured it with my Copics. I then took a piece of patterned paper from Wintertime paper pad and die cut the edge with a die from the new die set Border Collection. Before adhering it to my panel, I placed a piece of lilac cardstock behind it to create a border for the upper part of the card. I then adhered the panel onto my cardbase before stamping a sentiment from the new sentiment set When Snow Falls and embellished the card with some clear sequins.

Penny Black Home for Christmas: Masterpieces Made Simple

Earlier this autumn Penny Black released a collection called Home for Christmas and these Masterpieces Made Simple panels were a part of it. Masterpieces Made Simple is a new product line of Penny Black consisting of packs of pre-printed cardstock panels for cardmaking. They are gorgeous prints of gorgeous watercolour paintings and they make cardmaking so quick and easy. These panels are lifesavers if, like me, you're in a hurry to make Christmas cards...

The next two cards feature panels from Masterpieces Made Simple pack called Icy Winds (50-003). For the first card, I die cut the frame using Semi-Circle Stackers dies (51-706) and adhered it to the panel before adhering the panel to craft foam and then to a piece of kraft coloured cardstock that I adhered on my cardbase. I embellished the panel with branches die cut with Blustery die (51-711), I die cut one from dark brown cardstock and one from white and adhered them on top of each other so that the white is peeking from behind the brown, looking like snow on the branches. I also added a snowflake die cut with Dancing Snowflakes (51-708) and embellished with a sticky back pearl. I stamped a sentiment from Touched by Peace sentiment set (30-851) on a strip of cardstock and adhered it in place.

The next card was even simpler and quicker to make. The panel is from the same Icy Winds (50-003) set, I used a word die from Peaceful Pines die set (51-705) and die cut it straight onto the panel and then adhered a piece of cardstock behind the panel so that it shows through the die cut. I then die cut the frame using Semi-Circle Stackers dies (51-706) and adhered it to the panel. Lastly, I adhered some burlap onto my cardbase and adhered the panel in place. 

The next two cards feature panels from the Masterpieces Made Simple pack Pinecones & Peace (50-001). For the first card, I matted the panel onto dark brown cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the sentiment set Touched by Peace (30-851). I then tied a bit of twine into a bow around the panel and embellished it with snowflakes die cut with Dancing Snowflakes die (51-708) and embellished with some sticky back gems. I added a piece of patterned paper from Wintertime paper pad (80-012) onto by cardbase and adhered the panel in place.

For the next card, I die cut a frame using Zig Zag Stackers (51-714) and adhered it to the panel before stamping a sentiment from Touched by Peace sentiment set (30-851) onto the panel. I die cut pine branches using Peaceful Pines (51-705) die and adhered it in place before die cutting a snowflake with Dancing Snowflakes (51-708) and adhering it in place and embellishing it with a sticky back pearl. I used a bit of patterned paper from Wintertime paper pad (80-012) on my card as well.

The last card features a panel from Masterpieces Made Simple pack Home for Christmas (50-004). I decided to made a slimline card with it so I die cut the cardbase with Slimline Medley die (51-718). Before I die cut it, I adhered the pre-printed panel on the bottom of the cardstock so that it would be die cut in shape at the same time. For the top part of the card, I die cut a piece of green cardstock with Spirited die (51-721) and adhered it in place. I stamped a sentiment from Touched by Peace sentiment set (30-851), added a bit of twine around the card and embellished it with some snowflakes die cut with Dancing Snowflakes dies (51-708).

Christmas card - Joulukortti

I made this Christmas card with a stamp by Stamping Bella called Bundle Girl with Penguin. I stamped the image and coloured it with my Copics. I then used a die by Penny Black called Spirited to die cut the border which I then coloured with my Copics as well. I added a bit of patterned paper to the top of the card before stamping my sentiment ('Merry Christmas') on a die cut banner.

Tämä joulukortti syntyi Stamping Bellan Bundle Girl with Penguin -leimalla, väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla. Boordin stanssasin Penny Blackin Spirited-stanssilla ja väritin niin ikään Copiceilla. Kortin yläreunaan laitoin kuviopaperia ja pienen bannerin, johon leimasin tekstin.

PBSC: December - Joulukuu

It's December and time for a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. This month the optional theme is 'Christmas' along with the regular theme of 'Anything Goes'. As our Guest Designer, we have Bonnie.

For my Christmas card, I used Poinsettia Poem stamp by Penny Black. I stamped it onto a panel of Copic-friendly cardstock which I die cut with Semi-Circle Stackers die by Penny Black. I coloured the image with my Copics and then placed the die back in place before sponging some Distress Oxide inks (Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy) to the edges of the panel. When I then removed the die, it had left some beautiful white edges around the panel. I stamped my sentiment ('Merry Christmas' in Finnish) on a strip of vellum and adhered it on the panel before adhering the panel itself onto kraft coloured cardbase. Lastly, I embellished the card with clear sequins.

 I'm entering my card to:

* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC330 - All about Occasions

* Time Out Challenges: Challenge 202 - Photo Inspiration (I took inspiration from the colours, the pillow which fringes look like the border of the die I used, and the berries)

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Happy Holidays/Christmas

Joulukuun haaste on alkanut Penny Black Saturday Challengessä ja joulukuun vaihtoehtoinen teema on 'Christmas' pysyvän teeman 'Anything Goes' rinnalla. Guest Designerina meillä on Bonnie.

Omaan korttiini käytin Penny Blackin Poinsettia Poem -leimaa, väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla. Paneelin stanssasin Penny Blackin Semi-Circles Stackers -stanssilla ja mustetin paneelia Distress Oxide -musteilla Antique Linen ja Brushed Corduroy. Tekstin leimasin vellumvyötteeseen ja paneelin kiinnitin kraftin väriselle korttipohjalle. Lopuksi koristelin kortin kirkkailla paljeteilla.
