Happy Mail

I made this card with the lovely Happy Mail stamp set by Penny Black. I stamped it onto some watercolour cardstock before colouring it loosely with my Karin markers. I then masked the edges of the card before sponging some Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon onto it to create the sky. The grass is die cut with Garden Edgers die and then coloured by sponging Distress Oxide ink onto it (not sure of the ink colour anymore, it might have been Lucky Clover). The tiny flowers are die cut with a die from the Hanging Planters die set. I then stamped the sentiment from the Happy Mail set onto the card before adding a couple of butterflies die cut with Soaring die and embellished with white enamel dots.

Cosmos Bunch

Here's a birthday card I made with Pinkfresh Studio's stamp Cosmos Bunch. I simply wanted to colour a floral image and decided on this one as I haven't used it in a while. The card is almost one-layer except for the gems. I simply stamped the image, coloured it with my Copics and added a bit of white pen to it. I then masked the edges of the panel and sponged some Distress Oxide inks in Scattered Straw and Wild Honey to the panel before stamping the sentiment (it says 'Warm Congratulations' in Finnish). Lastly, I adhered some gems to embellish the card.

In the Air

Sending a little love your way today with this card! This cute little girl is a stamp by Penny Black called In the Air. I coloured her with my Copics and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on the panel. I then die cut the side panel with Stitched with Love die, added a bit of silver tape on the stamped panel and adhered it all in place. Lastly, I embellished the card with some sparkly silver enamel dots.

You Are My Sun

This card looks pretty stupid photographed (mainly because of my lack of photographing skills) but trust me, it looks pretty nice in real life. It may be a bit unusual colour for a Valentine's card but I think it works though. I made two of the same card this time as I wanted to give both my boys a Valentine's card.


I started by die cutting the panel with Penny Black's Stitched Nested Frame die, then I heat embossed the planet from Penny Black's ...My Universe stamp set onto it before heat embossing the sentiment from Penny Black's Love Sentiments set. Then I mounted the panel onto some craft foam before adhering the panel onto black cardbase. I also added some gold enamel dots to embellish the card.

From Me to You

This must be one of the cutest stamps ever! It's one of the older Penny Black stamps called From Me to You and the good thing is, it's still available!


I decided to make two cards with it basically because I wanted to colour the image both with my Copics (the first one) and with my Karin markers (the second one).  I die cut the panels with Lovely Border die and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon onto the panels while the die was still in place. I used a sentiment from the sentiment set Love Sentiments, added some gems as embellishments and adhered the panels onto coloured cardstock before adhering them onto cardbases.

Showered In Love

Here's a little Galentine's Day/Valentine's Day/just because card I made with a stamp from the Penny Black stamp set Showered in Love.


I coloured the image with my Copics, masked the edges of the card and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon onto the panel. I also die cut the bottom edge of the panel with a die from the Border Collection die set. I then stamped the sentiment from the sentiment set Love Sentiments onto it before adding some embellishments in the form of the twine and some sparkly gems. I adhered the panel onto some craft foam before adhering it to some purple cardstock and then cardbase.
