Pienenpieniä tirppasia tarjolle tällä kertaa :) Ostin Memory Boxin Resting Birds -stanssin hiljattain ja nämä pienet tirpat ovat niin ihania. Pää raksuttaa jo kovasti, mihin kaikkialle näitä voisikaan laittaa mutta aloitetaan nyt tirpat langalla -linjalla. Stanssasin siis nuo linnut tummanruskeasta kartongista (kuvassa tosin näyttää melko mustalta) ja yhden lintusen tuosta pinkistä. Sitten vain laitoin ne mustalle "langalle" ja leimasin tekstin (Papertrey Inkiä) mustalla ja lisäsin viereen pienen ruskealla ProMarkerilla värjätyn chipboard-sydämen. Kaistale pinkkiä kartonkia seuraksi ja siinäpä se. Tätä tehdessäni harmittelin (taas kerran...), kun suomeksi ei niin hurjaa valikoimaa ole noissa tekstileimoissa mutta toisaalta eipä kaikki taida ihan suomeksi kääntyäkään. "Ajattelen sinua, aina" -tekstissä saattaa olla hieman erilainen klangi kuin tuossa englanninkielisessä... ;D
Tiny tiny birds resting, that's what I have for you today. I recently bought the 'Resting Birds' die by Memory Box and I simply love these tiny little birdies, they're so cute. For this card, I placed the birds (die cut out of dark brown cardstock, not black as it may seem on the photo, and one birdie out of pink cardstock) on a little 'wire' and stamped the sentiment (by Papertrey Ink) with black ink. The little heart is a chipboard embellishment, I coloured it with a brown ProMarker. Then there's just a strip of pink cardstock on the side of the card to finish it off.

Vähänkö nää oot ilo - You are such a joy
Vihdoin ja viimein näytille jotain uuttakin, ja vieläpä kortti! Hieman tämmöistä hempeämpää tyyliä mutta josko se sopisi näin juhannuksen aikaan :) Tämä kortti lähti oikeastaan ihan vain halusta käyttää Papertrey Inkin Delightful Doilies -leimoja ja -stansseja, joita en ole hetkeen käyttänyt. Niinpä stanssasin tuon isoimmain doilyn kartongista ja leimasin/embossasin valkoisella siihen tuon doily-kuvion. Siihen päälle stanssasin pienemmän doilyn (Doily Details -stanssisetistä) ja sitten taas siihen päälle kerrostin perhosen (stanssattu kolmeen kertaan Beautiful Butterflies -setin stanssilla). Päällimmäisen perhosen stanssasin paperista, jonka kulmassa oli tuollainen kollaasi-tyyppinen kukka-teksti-kuvio, siitä sai hyvin tuon tekstin tulemaan perhosen 'selkään' (tuollaiset paperit, joissa on kulmassa joku kuvio, ovat jotenkin todella vaikeita käyttää mutta kerrankin keksin sellaiselle hyvän käyttötavan! :) ). Lopuksi vielä muutama helmi koristeeksi. Kaikki paperit tässä ovat My Mind's Eyetä.
Finally, I've got something new to show you, and it's a card for a change! It's a bit on the romantic side as well but I guess it suits Midsummer, don't you think? Anyways, I made this card simply because I wanted to use my Delightful Doilies stamps and dies by Papertrey Ink as I haven't used them for a while. So I die cut the biggest doily out of cardstock and stamped/heat embossed in white the doily pattern on it. Then I die cut the smaller doily on top of it (it's from the Doily Details set) and on top of that I placed a butterfly (die cut with a die from the Beautiful Butterflies set, I die cut it three times, once out of vellum and twice out of patterned paper). All the papers are by My Mind's Eye. As embellies there are a few pearls.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Aurinkoista juhannusta! :)

Hän on kolme! - He is three!
...ollut jo hetken aikaa kylläkin, nimittäin meidän ihana esikoisemme täytti tuossa huhtikuun loppupuolella kokonaiset kolme vuotta (tähän kohtaan saa lisätä järkyttynyttä päivittelyä ajan kulumisesta... ja paljon!). Tein hänelle kolme korttia, yhden meiltä ja loput isovanhempien ja isoisoäidin annettavaksi. Ensin esittelyyn meiltä saatu kortti, jossa tietenkin on auto - mitä muuta pienen automiehen kortissa voi olla? Leima on siis Papermanian ja Distress Markereilla väritetty. Säteet taustalla on FinnStamperin leima, tekstileima Paperinauhan setistä ja paperit My Mind's Eyeta. Valmiin kortin koristuksiin ei kuulunut tuo kuvassa näkyvä post-it -lappu, se peittää pojan nimeä, jonka korttiin leimasin ;)
...and has been for a while already. Our gorgeous big boy, our firstborn, turned three at the end of April (and yes, I am still shocked - how can he be three already?!). I made three cards for his birthday, one from us and one for his grandparents to give to him and one for his greatgrandmother to give to him. This first card is from us and, of course, it has a car on it - he is such an enthusiastic carlover :) The stamped image is by Papermania and I coloured it with Distress Markers. The ray stamp behind the car is by FinnStamper and the sentiment says something like 'huuuge congrats'. And the piece of a post-it note that you can see on the photo is not an embellishment, it just covers his name that I stamped there and that I'm not willing to share (yes, I'm overcautious...).
Ja tältä kortti näyttää, kun se avataan. Kyseessä on siis ns. spiral pop-up -kortti, johon tein tuon spiraalin Sizzixin ruusustanssilla ja kiinnitin siihen kolme pientä autoleimakuvaa.
And this is what the card looks like when it's opened. It's a spiral pop-up card. I made the spiral with a Sizzix rose die and attached three little stamped cars to it.
Tämän kortin pojalle antoivat isovanhemmat. Tuon koalaleiman valmistajaa en tiedä, väritin sen kuitenkin Distress Markereilla. Tekstileima taitaa sekin olla Paperinauhan setistä ja paperit vanhoja October Afternooneja. Lisänä nappi.
This card was given to him by his grandparents. I stamped the three koalas (I don't know the manufacturer of the stamp, sorry) and coloured them with Distress Markers. The papers are by October Afternoon and the sentiment says something like 'have an amazingly fun birthday'.
Viimeisenä näytille isoisoäidin antama kortti (pojalla ja isoisoäidillään on muuten 90 vuotta ikäeroa :) ). Leimakuva on Art Journeyn, paperit Authentiqueta, lisänä numero Tim Holtzin stanssilla stanssattuna ja tuollaiset metallipidikkeet.
And lastly, this card was given to our son by his greatgrandmother (the age difference between her and our son is whopping 90 years! :) ). The rubber stamp I used is by Art Journey, it's from the Grunge set. The papers are by Authentique, the number is die cut with a Tim Holtz die and as embellies there are a couple of brads and those metal 'holders' (don't know what they're called really).
Noin siis kolme korttia kolmevuotiaalle :) Kiitos, jos jaksoit tänne asti kahlata ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa viikkoa! :)
So there, three cards for a three-year-old :) Thanks for popping by to see them and thanks for any comment you may wish to leave me. Have a happy week! :)

Valkoinen kukka - White flower
Tämä Hero Artsin Large Flower taitaa olla tällä hetkellä käytetyin kukkaleimasimeni, sen verran monta korttia sillä on tullut tehtyä. Tähän korttiin embossasin sen kahteen kertaan vellumille valkoisella jauheella, leikkasin irti ja kiinnitin korttiin (siis kaksi kukkaa päällekkäin), keskustaksi laitoin timantteja. Kortin taustan kohokuvioin kohokuviointitaskulla ja kiinnitin ihan tarkoituksella väärinpäin, mielestäni se näytti kivalta noin. Sitten vain hieman punaista kartonkia kehystämään.
I think this 'Large Flower' stamp by Hero Arts is my most used flower stamp at the moment, I just love it. For this card I heat embossed it twice on white vellum, fussy cut the flowers out and attached to the card (two flowers on top of each other that is). As flower center I added some rhinestones. I dry embossed the white cardstock with embossing folder and deliberately attached it the 'wrong' way around on the card (I think it looks rather nice that way). Then I just added some red cardstock to frame the dry embossed cardstock.

Vanhassa vara parempi - Golden oldie
Mikä voisi olla parempaa kuin vanhat Hero Arts -leimat? No, uudet tietysti ja kaikki muutkin siltä väliltä mutta tällä kertaa käytössä on ne vanhat Herot. A Blog Named Heron haasteessa on tällä kertaa aiheena 'Golden Oldie' eli vanhalla (Heron) leimalla toivotaan tehtäväksi jotain uutta. No, minäpä tein kortin ihanimmilla Heron leimoilla, joita minulla on :) Ensin leimasin tuon suorakaiteen ns. shadow stampilla ('Long Shadow') ja Hero Artsin Shadow Inkillä. Sitten leimasin päälle Heron ihanan unikon ('A Real Poppy') Distress Inkeillä. Sitten vain leikkasin ja liimasin kartonkeja toistensa päälle ja lopulta koko juttu tarrapaloilla kiinni korttipohjaan, jonka olin kuvioinut Papertrey Inkin kuviointilevyllä. Koristeena vain muutama timantti.
What could be better than vintage Hero Arts stamps? Well, the new ones, of course, and all the others in between but this time I'm using the old Hero Arts stamps. The current challenge over at A Blog Named Hero asks us to use our 'Golden Oldies', i.e. to use our old (Hero Arts) stamps and make something new with them. Well, I made this card with my old favourite Hero Arts stamps. First I stamped the rectangular shadow with a shadow stamp ('Long Shadow') and Hero Arts Shadow Ink ('Soft Sand'). Then I stamped the gorgeous Hero Arts poppy ('A Real Poppy') on top of the rectangular shadow with Distress Inks. Then I just cut and matted the cardstocks on top of each other and attached them on the card blank with some foam pads. I had embossed the card blank with a Papertrey Ink impression plate. As embellies I used only a few rhinestones.

50
Tammikuun alussa suvussa juhlittiin 5-kymppisiä ja tein tällaisen kortin päivänsankarittarelle. Kortti on 2-osainen (vaikka se ei kuvasta näykään) ja stanssasin sen 'kannen' reunan uudella Tim Holtz -stanssillani (Butterflight). Bazzillin ruusupaperin taakse laitoin hieman vaaleamman viininpunaista kartonkia kuin itse korttipohja oli ja samoista kartongeista stanssasin Papertrey Inkin stansseilla (Mat Stack 4) palat, joista päällimmäisen leimasin Hero Artsin taustaleimalla (Flourish Background) ja Versamarkilla. Huoparuusun stanssasin Sizzixin stanssilla ja pyörittelin kokoon ja lehti taas on stanssattu Papertrey Inkin lehtistanssilla (setistä Turning a New Leaf). Lisäksi hieman helmiä metallinarussa ja ruusun keskustassa ja numerot ääriviivatarroilla.
We had a 50th birthday party to go to earlier this month and this is the card I made for the birthday girl. The card is a 2-fold although you can't see it in the piccie, and I die cut the edge of the front of the card with my new Tim Holtz die (Butterflight). I attached the rose paper by Bazzill to a lighter coloured cardstock than the card blank and then I die cut pieces from the same cardstocks with Papertrey Ink dies (Mat Stack 4) and stamped one of them with a Hero Arts stamp Flourish Background and Versamark ink. I made the felt rose with a Sizzix die and die cut the leaves with a Papertrey Ink die (from the Turning a New Leaf set). As further embellies there are some pearls on a metal wire and as the center of the rose, and number stickers.

Lumihiutale - Snowflake
Ja palataas taas joulukortteihin... Tähän korttiin tein varsin blingbling lumihiutaleen liimaamalla ensin kartongille kaksipuolista superteippiä, stanssaamalla lumihiutaleen Cuttlebugin stanssilla ja sitten "uittamalla" hiutaletta irtohileessä. Sen jälkeen kävin vielä hiutaleen läpi taittotyökalulla, jotta glitteri varmasti tarttuisi kunnolla kiinni. Taustapaperin leimasin The Artistic Stamperin taustaleimalla, siniseen kartonkiin stanssasin osittaisen ympyrän, jonka "sisälle" sitten laitoin hiutaleen. Kiinnitin kartongin tarrapaloilla, jotta sain korttiin hieman kolmiulotteisuutta. Koristeena hieman leipurin nyöriä ja tekstileimana Stempelkellerin hiutale-teksti.
Here's a 'snowy' Christmas card for you. For this card, I made the snowflake by attaching a sheet of super tape onto a piece of cardstock, die cutting the snowflake with a Cuttlebug die and then pouring heaps of glitter onto the snowflake. I made sure the glitter stuck by 'sweeping' the snowflake with a bone folder. I wanted the snowflake to be the centre of attention so I cut a half circle out of the blue cardstock and attached the flake into the die cut circle. I attached the blue cardstock itself with foam pads to get a bit of 3D effect going. I stamped the background paper with a stamp by The Artistic Stamper. As embellie, there's a piece of baker's twine. The sentiment is in Finnish.

Joulukalenteri - Advent calendar
Maailman Suloisimmalla Pienellä Pojalla on tänä vuonna ensimmäistä kertaa joulukalenteri. Sellaistahan ei voi kaupasta ostaa (eihän?), joten tuunasin sitten tällaisen kalenteriksi. Tuo pahvilaatikosto on ostettu aikaa sitten Heinikasta, kaikki käytetyt paperit ovat Echo Parkin Holly Jolly Christmas -paperikosta ja koristeet ovat sarjaa 'sekalainen seurakunta'. Tuohon kalenteriin sitten tonttu tuo pienen lahjan joka päivälle... ;)
This year The Cutest Little Boy in the World (also known as our son :) ) has an advent calendar for the first time and I just couldn't buy one from a shop, could I? No, I made one myself :) I bought that little cardboard 'drawer' some time ago (last year? year before that?) with an advent calendar in mind, and now I just decorated it. All the papers I used are by Echo Park (the Holly Jolly Christmas series) and the embellies are 'a bit of this and a bit of that'. And as by magic, every night a little elf brings a little gift for our son and puts it in the calendar for him to find... ;)

Lumihiutale - Snowflake
Tykkään jotenkin punaisen ja vaaleansinisen yhdistelmästä ja välillä on kiva tehdä joulukortteja, joissa ei oikeastaan ole mitään erityisemmin jouluista (paitsi nyt tekstileima ;) ). Tätä korttia varten taittelin korttipohjan 4cc-kartongista ja kohokuvioin sen Cuttlebugin Moroccan Screen -taskulla. "Lumihiutaleen" kokosin Papertrey Inkin stanssilla stanssatusta doilysta, vaaleansinisestä ympyrästä ja niinikään PTI:n stanssilla ja leimalla tehdystä pienestä doilysta. Vaaleansiniseen ympyrään leimasin Hero Artsin Flourish Background -leimalla ja Versamark Dazzle -musteella (sääli, että hienoinen kimallus ei kuvassa näy :/ ). Punainen muste on Hero Artsin Shadow Inkiä (Red Royal). Lumihiutaleen keskelle laitoin vielä pienen napin. Tekstin leimasin kalvolle ja sen alle lisäsin vielä toisen liuskan kalvoa, jolle teippasin hieman washiteippiä. Lisukkeeksi vielä punaista satiininauhaa.
I really like the colour combination of pure red and pale blue and sometimes it's nice to make Christmas cards that actually don't really have any particularly "Christmassy" elements (well, except the sentiment that says 'Merry Christmas' ;) ). For this card I folded the card blank from white cardstock and dry embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder 'Moroccan Screen'. I made the "snowflake" with a doily I die cut with a Papertrey Ink die, a pale blue circle (a Spellbinders die), and a smaller doily I die cut and stamped with a PTI die and stamp. I stamped the pale blue circle with the Hero Arts stamp 'Flourish Background' and some Versamark Dazzle ink (it's such a shame you can't really see the dazzle in the piccie, but it's there, believe me). The red ink I used is Hero Arts Shadow Ink 'Red Royal'. I finished the snowflake with a tiny red button. I stamped the sentiment onto an acetate strip and attached another strip of acetate underneath it and taped some washi tape onto that second strip. As a final touch I used some red satin ribbon and made a bow with it.

Lumihiutale - Snowflake
Tällä kertaa P*skarteluhaasteessa oli vuorossa värihaaste ja aivan ihanat värit olivatkin, mutta silti jostain syystä älyttömän vaikeat. En meinannut millään saada niitä kaikkia samaan korttiin sopimaan enkä tiedä, olenko niinkään tyytyväinen tähän korttiin (vaikkakin tämä on paljon parempi kuin eka yritykseni! ;D ). Mutta tällä mennään kuitenkin. Korttipohjana siis harmaata kartonkia, jonka reunan leikkasin Marthan leikkurilla, paperi Bo Bunnyn paperikosta, keskipisteenä tummanharmaasta ja tuollaisesta sinertävänvihertävästä kartongista stanssatut ympyrät, jotka molemmat kiinnitin tarrapaloilla. 'Keskipisteen keskipisteenä' stanssattu lumihiutale ja siinä yksi timantti. Tähän tuli nyt ylimääräisenä värinä tuo valkoinen mutta josko neutraali väri sallitaan lisänä..?
I wanted to join in this week with the Finnish challenge blog P*skarteluhaaste because they have a wonderful colour challenge going. The colours are beautiful (please click the link below to see the colours) but for some reason it was unbelievably difficult for me to get them all in one card and to get them look at least half decent. I'm not sure I'm that pleased with my card but at least it's way better than my first attempt - hee hee! ;D Anyways, I folded the card base using pale grey cardstock and punched the bottom edge with a Martha Stewart punch. The patterned paper is by Bo Bunny. I die cut the circles in the middle from dark grey and teal coloured cardstocks and attached both with foam pads. Then I die cut the snowflake and added one single rhinestone to it. The white colour on the snowflake is additional colour and wasn't included in the challenge but I'm hoping an added neutral colour is ok..

I wanted to join in this week with the Finnish challenge blog P*skarteluhaaste because they have a wonderful colour challenge going. The colours are beautiful (please click the link below to see the colours) but for some reason it was unbelievably difficult for me to get them all in one card and to get them look at least half decent. I'm not sure I'm that pleased with my card but at least it's way better than my first attempt - hee hee! ;D Anyways, I folded the card base using pale grey cardstock and punched the bottom edge with a Martha Stewart punch. The patterned paper is by Bo Bunny. I die cut the circles in the middle from dark grey and teal coloured cardstocks and attached both with foam pads. Then I die cut the snowflake and added one single rhinestone to it.

Poikavauvalle - Daisy Bear for a baby boy
Minua pyydettiin tekemään kortti poikavauvalle. Toiveena oli tyylikäs kortti (vaalean)vihreän sävyissä, ilman tekstileimaa ja tällä Forever Friendsin Daisy Bear -leimalla - näillä koordinaateilla syntyi sitten tällainen kortti. Leimasin Daisyn Papertrey Inkin Mat Stack 3 -stansseilla stanssattuun paperiin ja väritin Distress Inkeillä. Sydämet stanssasin vaaleansinisestä huovasta PTI:n Heart Border -stanssilla ja sen alla olevan vihreän kartongin kuvioin niinikään PTI:n impression platella. Paperi on October Afternoonia.
I was asked to make a card for a newborn baby boy. The special wishes for the card were 'stylish', in (pale) green colour, without any stamped sentiments, and with this Daisy Bear stamp by Forever Friends. I followed the wishes quite closely and came up with this card. I stamped Daisy on paper that I had die cut with Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 3 dies and coloured her with Distress Inks. I die cut the hearts out of felt with PTI's Heart Border die and placed it on some green cardstock that I had run through my Cuttlebug with PTI's impression plate. The patterned paper is by October Afternoon.
Koristelin tällä kertaa myös kortin sisäosan, jonne laitoin samaa paperia ja kartonkia kuin kanteenkin ja koristeeksi vielä tuota sydänboordia.
I decided to decorate the inside of the card as well with the same patterned paper and cardstock that I used on the front of the card. I also added the felt heart border as embellie.
Haaste / Challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Dies and/or Punches (my 2nd entry)

Ruusuja - Roses
Papertrey Ink -linja jatkuu, tällä kertaa tällaisella peruskortilla. Käytin noihin kukkiin Rosie Posie -setin leimasimia ja stansseja ja Hero Artsin Shadow Ink -musteita. Kukat kiinnitin osin liimalla, osin 3D-tarrapaloilla PTI:n Mat Stack 4 -sarjan stansseilla stanssattuihin papereihin. Kaikki paperit ovat Crate Paperin Little Bo Peep -paperikosta ja koristeena muutama helmi ja pinkkiä "hammaslankaa".
I'm still having fun with my new Papertrey Ink stash :) This time I made a card with stamps and dies from the Rosie Posie set - aren't these flowers just so pretty? As inks I used Hero Arts Shadow Inks, the papers are Little Bo Peep series by Crate Paper and as embellies there are a few pearls and some pink scrapper's floss. The labels are die cut with the Mat Stack 4 dies by Papertrey Ink.

Ajattelematta - Without thinking
Tämä kortti tuli tehtyä "kaikkea kivaa" -periaatteella. Laitoin siis korttiin sen kummemmin miettimättä kaikkea omasta mielestäni kivaa ja mitä nyt satuin pöydältä löytämään. Mielenkiintoisesti yhtäkään leimakuvaa tässä ei ole... ;) Sen sijaan tässä on hieman Dylusions ink sprayta, paperia ja aaltopahvia, washiteippiä, stanssattu huopasydän, gessoa, nappi ja narunpätkiä. Sen kummempaa ideaa tässä ei ole takana mutta joskus on kiva tehdä kortteja näinkin :)
I made this card simply by using all kinds of stuff that I like and that I found on my craft table without thinking too much. Didn't use any stamped images though (*shockhorror* ;) ), funny that... Instead you can find some Dylusions ink spray, some patterned paper and some corrugated cardboard, some washi tape, a die cut felt heart, some gesso, a button and some pieces of ribbon and twine on my card. I find it so much fun to make cards like this every once in a while, things made without too much thinking. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't but always I have fun :)
Haasteet / Challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp: Anything goes! (my 2nd entry)

Kukkia ja perhosia - Flowers and butterflies
Osallistuin tuossa kesällä Online Card Classesin Stretch Your Stamps -kurssille ja tein kortin erään kurssilla olleen mallikortin inspiroimana. Ideana tässä on siis se, että tuohon kortin kanteen stanssataan aukko ja stanssia vastaavalla leimalla leimataan (tässä tapauksessa) kukka, joka sitten liimataan kortin sisäosaan niin, että se näkyy aukosta. Tuosta aukosta ja kukasta olisi tullut hieman näyttävämpi, jos olisin tehnyt korttia ajatuksella ;) ja kaventanut korttipohjaa ennen tuon kuviopaperin liimaamista - tällä tavalla olisin voinut stanssata aukon ja laittaa kukan reippaammin ulos kortista, kuten tarkoitus oli, ja se olisi silti mahtunut kuoreen. No, toisella kertaa sitten... ;) Muuten tässä ei sen erikoisempaa ole, kukkastanssi ja -leima on Papertrey Inkiä, kehysleima 7Gypsiesiä ja perhoset Marthan leikkurilla leikattuja ja Kuretaken Wink of Stella -kynällä väritettyjä, tekstileima FinnStamperia. Pallopaperi on Bazzill Basicsiä.
During the summer, I took part in the Stretch Your Stamps class hosted by Online Card Classes and made a card inspired by one of the cards in the class. The idea here is to use die cutting and stamping to create a window on the card front and then to attach the matching stamped image to the inside of the card so that it peaks through the window. It would have looked better if I had cut the card blank a bit narrower before attaching the patterned paper to it - that way I could have placed the window+matching stamp a little more outside of the card (as it was intended) but was I thinking when I made this card? Of course I wasn't.... Oh well, there's always the next time, isn't there? ;) Otherwise this card is quite simple, not much to it. The die and the matching stamp is by Papertrey Ink, the frame stamp is by 7Gypsies and the butterflies I punched with a Martha Stewart punch and coloured with a Wink of Stella pen by Kuretake. The sentiment says 'congrats'. The dotty paper is by Bazzill Basics.

Kukkuu! - Peek-a-boo!
Maailman ihanimman mussukan synttärijuhlat olivat eilen (itse päivä oli aikaisemmin viikolla mutta eilen oli kemujen aika :) ) ja synttärisankari oli suorastaan hurmaantunut menosta, vieraista ja lahjoista. Lahjan annoimme hänelle jo oikeana syntymäpäivänä mutta kortin annoimme eilen, ja tällainen se oli. Idea ja inspiraatio tähän tuli SannaS:n ihanasta kukkuu-kortista, meidän poika kun tykkää 'kukkuilla' niin tämä sopi hänelle kuin nenä päähän ;) Paperi tässä on October Afternoonia (muistaakseni...) ja kartongit ColorCorea, numerot ja kirjaimet stanssattu taas Holtzin stanssilla. Luukun kiinnitin washi-teipillä ja sen avaus- ja sulkusysteemi muodostuu napista, eyeletista ja vanhasta kirjanmerkistä pelastetusta narusta.
Our cutie had his birthday party yesterday (the actual birthday was earlier last week but the party itself was held yesterday) and the birthday boy was almost overwhelmed with everything that was going on, the guests and the gifts and everything :) We gave our gift to him on the actual day but somehow the card wasn't given until yesterday... The idea for this card came from the talented SannaS and her gorgeous peek-a-boo card, our son loves to peek-a-boo so this was the perfect card for him :) The paper I used for this is by October Afternoon (if my memory serves me right...) and the cardstocks are by ColorCore. The number and letters I die cut with a Tim Holtz die ('kukkuu' means 'peek-a-boo' in Finnish). I attached the yellow cardstock with some washi tape and it can be closed with a string I salvaged from an old bookmark, and a button.
Luukun sisältä paljastuu kaksi DoodleFactoryn norsua (poika rakastaa norsuja :) ), pieni tähti ja teksti FinnStamperin leimalla leimattuna. Kukkuu! :)
When you open the 'door', you'll see two elephants by DoodleFactory, a star brad and the sentiment (which means something like 'happiness/congrats and joy'). Peek-a-boo!!! :)
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Hauskaa vappua! :)

Rakkaalle 2-vuotiaalle - For a special 2-year-old
Huhtikuun synttärisuma jatkuu eräillä erittäin tärkeillä synttäreillä, sillä kuun loppupuolella juhlii myös meidän mussukka, Maailman Suloisin Pieni Poika, joka täyttää jo huimat kaksi vuotta!!! :) Pojan isoisoäiti tilasi minulta synttärikortin, jonka hän voi antaa pojallemme ja tällainen siitä tuli (synttäreitä ei ole vielä juhlittu mutta uskaltanen blogata kortin kuitenkin - en nimittäin usko, että pieni sankari saa korttia silmiinsä blogistani ;) ). Leimakuvaksi valitsin Whiff of Joyn ihanan Henry-hiiren, mussukkamme on erittäin eläinrakas ja pitää varmasti juhlivista hiiristäkin :) Leimakuvan väritin pitkästä aikaa Distress Inkeillä ja tuntuu, että siitä ei oikein tullut mitään, ovat tainneet vähäiset taitoni päästä ruostumaan... DI:llä väritin myös pienen tagin, johon leimasin tekstin Taitopuoti Paperinauhan leimalla ja päälle väriä vielä Hero Artsin Envelope Pattern -leimalla. Tagin valkoisen narun vaihdoin sopivampaan vihreään. Numeron stanssasin Holtzin stanssilla ja tähdet Spellbindersin stansseilla. Paperit ovat BasicGreytä ja Echo Parkia, koristeena eyelettia ja nappia ja hieman glossya muffinssissa ja numerossa.
April hosts a very important birthday as our son, The Cutest Little Boy in the World, celebrates his 2nd birthday in late April!!! :) His greatgrandmother asked me to make a card that she could give to him and this is how it turned out (we haven't held his birthday party yet but I think I can blog his card anyway as I believe he won't be finding his way to my blog - or the computer for that matter - any time soon ;) ). I chose to use Henry the Celebrating Mouse by Whiff of Joy as my main image as our son is very keen on animals and I'm sure he'll love this cute little mouse. I coloured the stamped image with Distress Inks - I haven't done that in a while and I feel like my previously feeble talent has now become nonexistent... I coloured the little tag with DIs, too, stamped it with Hero Arts Envelope Pattern stamp and added the sentiment (which goes something like 'have a fabulously fun birthday'), I also changed the twine on the tag from white to green. I die cut the number with a Tim Holtz die and the stars with Spellbinders dies. The papers are by BasicGrey and Echo Park and as embellies there are an eyelet, a button and some Glossy Accents on the cupcake and the number.
Tagin saa siis leimakuvan taakse piiloon. / The tag can be hidden behind the stamped image.
Osallistun tällä seuraavaan haasteeseen / I'd like to submit this to the following challenge:
* Daring Cardmakers: Tag You're It! (sponsorina Tea House Bridge/sponsored by Tea House Bridge)

Synttärikettu - Fargo the fox
Tämä on veljenpoikani korttitrion viimeinen kortti. Tämän synttärisankarille antoi hänen 92-vuotias isoisoäitinsä, joten kortti on hieman muita kortteja "söpömpi" - isoisoäidit ja esim. Stampotiquet eivät mielestäni oikein käy yksiin... ;D Tähän korttiin valikoitui siis DoodleFactoryn Fargo-kettu, jonka väritin ProMarkereilla. Paperit ovat October Afternoonia ja koristeena on washiteippilippunauhaa (hurraa suomi ja yhdyssanat..! ;) ) ja stanssattua tähteä. Onnea-tekstin leimailin Artemion aakkosilla.
This is the last of the three cards I made for my nephew on his 11th birthday. This was given to him by his 92-year-old greatgrandmother so it's a bit cuter than the other two cards (which you can see here and here) - somehow I don't think that greatgrandmothers and e.g. Stampotique stamps go together that well.... ;D The stamped image is Fargo the Fox by DoodleFactory, I coloured him with ProMarkers. The papers are by October Afternoon and the little flags I made of washi tape. I die cut the star with a Spellbinders die. The sentiment says 'congrats' and I stamped it with alphabet stamps by Artemio.
Osallistun kortilla seuraaviin haasteisiin / I'd like to submit my card to the following challenges:
* PaperPlay Challenges: Week 16 - Animal Antics
* Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge: #129 - Stripes or checks, you choose (Stripes! :) )

Poika olet tähti! - You're a Star!
Kevään synttärirumban aloittaa veljenpojistani vanhin, jonka syntymäpäivä oli kuluneella viikolla mutta juhlat huomenna. Tällä kertaa tein synttärisankarille yhteensä kolme korttia, yhden meiltä, yhden isovanhempiensa annettavaksi ja yhden isoisoäitinsä annettavaksi - tämä kortti on meiltä. Synttärisankari täyttää jo 11 vuotta, joten koitin tehdä korteista hieman erilaisia kuin aikaisemmin, hieman "isomman pojan" kortteja. Saa nähdä, onnistuinko.... (Onko muilla yhtä vaikeaa tietää, minkälainen kortti olisi omiaan minkäkin ikäiselle lapselle? Vai olenko minä ainoa, joka on niin hukassa eri ikäisten mieltymyksistä?) Tämän kortin idea lähti tuosta taustapaperista, joka on October Afternoonin 5 & Dime -paperikosta, siitä tulivat kortin värit ja tyyli. Tähdet stanssasin Spellbindersin stansseilla ja alla olevan mustan kartongin 'rei'itin' Memory Boxin stanssilla ja sen alle laitoin näkymään punaista kartonkia. Taustapaperiin roiskin hieman mustaa akryylimaalia ja samaa sotkin hieman tähtiinkin. Lisäksi vielä Holtzin Tiny Tabs and Tags -stanssilla tehty pieni tagi, jossa onnittelu. Tagin kiinnitin haaraniitillä.
In our family, spring is full of birthdays and the first to celebrate is the eldest of my nephews. His actual birthday was a few days ago but the birthday party is tomorrow, and this year I made him three cards in total, one from us, one for his grandparents to give to him, and one for his greatgrandmother to give to him. This card is from us. The birthday boy celebrates his 11th birthday and this time I tried to make his cards a bit more 'grown up', more suitable for a big boy - let's see if I succeeded.... (I always find it so hard to determine what kind of card is suitable for children of certain ages, I'm always afraid I make my cards either too childish or too grown up). The inspiration for this card came from the paper I used in the background, it's the '5 & Dime' series by October Afternoon. I die cut the stars with Spellbinders dies and the black cardstock behind it with a Memory Box die, I then placed a piece of red cardstock behind the black one so that it shows through the little holes. I die cut the tiny tag with a Tim Holtz die (Tiny Tabs and Tags) and stamped the sentiment, 'Congrats', on it and attached it with a black brad. I also splattered some black acrylic paint on the background paper and smeared it on the stars as well to give a bit of grungey feel. Tomorrow we'll see how the birthday boy likes it...
Osallistun kortilla seuraaviin haasteisiin / I'd like to submit my card to the following challenges:
* Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge #61 - Punches and Dies
* Crafts 4 Eternity #68 - Something New (the Memory Box die 'Bubble Dots')

CAS perhosia - CAS butterflies
Tein tällaisen kortin taannoisen lahjontani mukaan. Yritin tehdä siitä mahdollisimman tyylikkään CAS-kortin, koska oletan lahjonnan voittajan pitävän CAS-tyylistä. Korttipohjan taittelin 4cc-kartongista (kiitos, SannaS! ;) ) ja leikkasin sen reunaan Memory Boxin Butterfly Delights -stanssilla rivin perhosia (yllättäen huomasin muuten, että tuo stanssi on yhden perhosen verran liian pitkä mahtumaan Cuttlebugin suusta sisään, eli sitä ei saa leikkaamaan suoraan tuohon kortin reunaan. Hieman harmittaa tämä....). Perhosten taustaksi laitoin pinkkiä kartonkia, josta leikkasin myös yhden ylimääräisen perhosen tekstin viereen. Tekstileima on Papertrey Inkin. Koristeeksi yksi helmi ja soon siinä! ;)
I made this card to go with my recent giveaway. I tried to make it as elegant and as CAS as I could because I imagine that the person who won my giveaway likes CAS cards. I folded the card blank from pure white cardstock and die cut the row of butterflies with a Memory Box die 'Butterfly Delights' (this is my newest die and I noticed when making this card that it can't fit through a Cuttlebug - the die is one butterfly too long to be placed straight along the edge of a 2-fold card! Dang it!). I placed some pink cardstock as the background for the butterflies and stamped the Papertrey Ink sentiment with black ink. I added one pink butterfly with a pearl body next to it. And that's it! :)

Dang it!). I placed some pink cardstock as the background for the butterflies and stamped the Papertrey Ink sentiment with black ink. I added one pink butterfly with a pearl body next to it. And that's it! :)

Apua... - OMG!
Ystäväni täytti vuosia tuossa hetki sitten ja tein hänelle tällaisen kortin. Mikäs sen hauskempaa kuin hassuttaa toisen syntymäpäivästä (varsinkin kun itse on vanhempi.... ;) ). Kortti on melko yksinkertainen, siinä on hieman BasicGreyn ja Echo Parkin papereita, leimoina Zettiologya, Artistic Stamperia ja 7Gypsiesiä, dymotettua tekstiä ja washi-teippiä. Se vähäinen väritys, mitä leimakuvaan tarvittiin, tein vesiväreillä ja Inktense-kynillä. Lisänä vielä timantit ja kortti oli valmis.
My friend had her birthday a few days ago and this is the card I made her. It's quite simple (once again... ;) ), I just used some BasicGrey and Echo Park papers, stamps by Zettiology, The Artistic Stamper and 7Gypsies, some lovely washi tape and a few rhinestones. I added a little colouring to the stamped image with watercolours and Derwent Inktense pencils. I made the sentiment with a Dymo machine and freely translated it goes something like 'OMG, are ya getting old?!' - it's good to make a little joke about someone's birthday when you yourself are older than they are... hee hee! ;D
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Iloista karkauspäivää (ja onnea kosintoihin, mikäli sellaista aikoo ;) )!
