Wreath for Christmas - Kranssi jouluksi

Once again I decided to make a Christmas card with a non-Christmas stamp, simply because I wanted to colour this image :) Also I think she looks quite festive and her wreath looks like it could be a gift so I think she fits well for the job. The image is Curvy Girl with a Heart Wreath by Stamping Bella and I coloured the image with my Copic markers. I also added a bit of Stickles glitter glue to the yellow flowers in the wreath. I die cut the glittery gold frame with an MFT die and the word die is by Penny Black, as is the heat embossed part of the sentiment. I added a bit of vellum behind the frame. For the background, I chose patterned paper with some festive ligths. Lastly, I embellished the card with some enamel dots.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #150 - Merry & Cheerful
* Stamping Sensations: December - Anything Goes
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC251 - All About Occasions

Tein taas joulukortin ei-jouluisella leimalla. Tämä on Stamping Bellan Curvy Girl with a Heart Wreath, väritin sen Copiceilla ja lisäsin Sticklesiä keltaisiin kukkiin. Kehyksen stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla, sanan Penny Blackin stanssilla ja loput tekstistä embossasin kullalla (leima Penny Blackin). Kehyksen taakse vähän vellumia ja kuviopaperiin kiinni. Lopuksi muutama enamel dots koristeeksi.

Penguins - Pingviinit

AAA Birthday #8: December - Joulukuu

It's December, time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday and our theme this time is 'Balloons & Banners'. As our Guest Designer, we have the talented Maaike joining us.

For my card, I used the cute little mouse with his balloon from the Penny Black set It's Your Day. I coloured the image with my watercolours and added some details in my white Gelly Roll pen. I also sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the image. I then die cut the frame using Penny Black's Stitched Loops die and adhered it in place. The banner is by Lawn Fawn, I stamped and die cut it before watercolouring it. I stamped the sentiment ('Congrats') with tiny alphabet stamps by Papertrey Ink onto the banner and adhered the banner in place. Lastly, I embellished the card with clear sequins.

Be sure to check the details on how to enter on AAA Birthday blog. You'll also find lots of inspiration there, my team mates have created gorgeous cards for your inspiration.


Vuoden viimeinen haaste alkaa AAA Birthdayssä ja aiheena on Balloons & Banners eli ilmapallot ja bannerit. Omaan korttiini käytin suloista hiirtä ilmapalloineen Penny Blackin It's Your Day -setistä, väritin sen vesiväreillä ja lisäilin yksityiskohtia valkoisella Gelly Roll -kynällä. Reunoille mustetin Distress Oxide -mustetta. Kehykset stanssasin Penny Blackin Stitched Loops -stanssilla ja kiinnitin paikoilleen. Banneri on Lawn Fawnin, vesiväritin sen ja leimasin tekstin siihen Papertrey Inkin aakkosleimoilla.

Penny Black First Snow: Sweet Sledder

Here's a new card I made with a new stamp from the latest Penny Black release. This one is called Sweet Sledder and I think it is such a cute stamp. I decided to colour the image with my watercolours, I also sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the image and added falling snow. I then die cut the panel with Leaf Stitched Frames die, matted the panel onto grey cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the new sentiment set Winter Chill. For the background, I used some patterned papers from the Wintertime paper pad. I embellished the card with a die cut snowflake (Polar Pair) and added a blue rhinestone in the middle of it.

Penny Black First Snow: Conifer Wreath

Here's a Christmas card using one of the new stamps from the latest Penny Black release called First Snow. The stamp is Conifer Wreath, I heat embossed it in gold and watercoloured the image. I then sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the panel before splattering it with gold spray (I used my watercolour brush for the splattering). I die cut the word 'joy' out of glittery gold cardstock using Penny Black die Merry and Joy and adhered it in place.

Christmas Roses - Jouluruusut

Leimasin tekstin ja kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan ennen kuin koristelin kortin kirkkailla paljeteilla. 

Penny Black First Snow: Wintry Whites

I guess it's no secret that I love floral stamps and this one from the new release by Penny Black is no exception. It's called Wintry Whites and it's so delicate and beautiful! I stamped it onto kraft cardstock and coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. I then softly inked the edges of the panel with white ink. To create the frame, I die cut white cardstock with Stitched Stackers die and adhered the stamped panel onto it before attaching it to the card base. I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Wintry Whites set onto a strip of dark brown cardstock and attached it in place. Lastly, I embellished the card with white sticky back pearls.

Penny Black First Snow: Cuppa

I think this is such a cute stamp, two friends enjoying a hot drink together! It's a new stamp by Penny Black and it's called Cuppa. I coloured the image with my Copics and framed it with Snowflake Frame. The sentiment is from the new set Winter Chill, I heat embossed part of it onto a strip of dark brown cardstock and stamped the rest onto the frame. Lastly, I die cut some hearts with Penny Black's Hearts Galore die and adhered them onto the card.

Penny Black First Snow: Starlight

A pink Christmas card? Well, why not! Pink is my colour of the day with this Christmas card I made with new stamps from the new Penny Black release called First Snow. The stamp I used is called Starlight. I stamped it with black Memento ink avoiding the stars, coloured it with my Copics, and stamped it again, this time I inked only the stars with Versamark ink and heat embossed them in white. I also sponged some pink Distress Oxide ink on it so that the white stars would pop more. The frame I used is die cut with Snowflake Frame die, you get this small frame if you do not separate the two dies from each other. For the background, I used some patterned paper from Holiday Trimming paper pad and also embellished the card with a die cut (Burlap Edge). The sentiment comes from another stamp set called Sweet Sledder.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Starry Starry Night

Pinkki joulukortti syntyi tällä uudella Penny Black -leimalla, jonka nimi on Starlight. Leimasin sen ensin mustalla Mementolla niin, että mustetin vain karhun ja siilin ja väritin ne Copiceilla. Sitten leimasin uudestaan, tällä kertaa Versamarkilla ja niin, että mustetin vain tähdet, minkä jälkeen embossasin ne valkoisella. Lopuksi levitin Distress Oxide -mustetta leimakuvaan niin, että valkoiset tähdet näkyvät paremmin. Kehys on stanssattu Snowflake Frame -stanssilla, vyöte taas Burlap Edge -stanssilla. Tekstileima on setistä Sweet Sledder ja taustapaperi on Holiday Trimming -paperikosta. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black First Snow: Heap of Happy

I made this card using a new stamp from the new Penny Black release First Snow. The stamp is called Heap of Happy. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and fussy cut it out. I then die cut a circle frame using the Stitched Circles die set by Penny Black. For the background, I used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime. After I had attached all the elements on my card base, I stamped my sentiment from the new sentiment set Winter Chill and added some red sequins to embellish the card.

Penny Black First Snow: Bundled Buddies

This little cutie was such fun to colour, I think she looks so sweet with her little friend. The stamp I used for this is from the new Penny Black release, First Snow, and it is called Bundled Buddies. I stamped it onto some Copic friendly cardstock, coloured it with my Copics and die cut the panel with Penny Black's Stitched Nested Frames die. The sentiment comes from the new sentiment set Winter Chill. For the background, I used patterned papers from Wintertime paper pad. I embellished the card with a snowflake die cut with Polar Pair die and added a sticky back pearl to it.

Christmas Wreath - Joulukranssi

I made a quick little Christmas card with Natural Beauties set by Paper Smooches. I know it's not really a Christmas stamp set but I thought this little wreath with added pinecones and berries would make a lovely Christmas wreath. I coloured the images with my Copics and die cut them out. I also die cut the frame with Paper Smooches' Fused Frame die. The sentiment is by Penny Black, this one was dainty enough to fit inside the frame. I matted the white linen textured panel onto some dark brown cardstock and attached everything in place before embellishing the card with some clear sequins.

Kerrostin valkoisen paneelin tummanruskealle kartongille, kiinnitin kaikki paikalleen ja koristelin lopuksi vielä paljeteilla.

Penny Black First Snow: Festive Frolic

I love penguins and I think these ones from Penny Black are so sweet! They're from the stamp set Festive Frolic, I coloured them with my Copics and die cut them out with the matching dies. The snow globe is from the set Cozy Nigts, I coloured it with my Copics as well and die cut it out with its matching die. The sentiment is from Wintry Whites set and it fits perfectly to the little plaque on the snow globe. To decorate the inside of the globe, I die cut some frosty grass with Garden Edgers die and added snowflakes, one is stamped with a stamp from Festive Frolic set and two are debossed with a die that comes with the Snowflake Frame die. I also added a rhinestone to each of the snowflake and tied a bit of baker's twine into a bow to decorate the snow globe. For the background, I used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime and matted it onto some kraft cardstock before attaching it to my card base.

Penny Black First Snow: Festive Frolic

I think this cuddly polar bear is just the cutest ever! It's from the new Penny Black stamp set called Festive Frolic. I stamped it onto X-Press It blending card, coloured it with Copic markers and die cut it with the matching die Festive Frolic Cut Out. For the background I used the Snowflake Frame die (which I love!!), I die cut it once out of cream cardstock and then the second time out of green cardstock so that I could get that little "frame in a frame" in green. I also used some patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime. The sentiment I used is from the set Thrill of Hope, I heat embossed it onto a strip of vellum.

Tämä Penny Blackin uusi jääkarhu on vain niiiin suloinen! Se on setistä Festive Frolic, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin Festive Frolic Cut Out -stanssilla.

Penny Black First Snow: Joy

Oh joy! Penny Black has released new Christmas/winter themed stamps and dies and they are beautiful! I couldn't wait to use the new Festive Frolic stamp set and created a Christmas card with this sweet little kitty. I coloured him with my Copic markers and die cut him out with the matching die. I also added a bit of Nuvo glitter gloss pen to the white parts of the kitty's hat but unfortunately it doesn't really show in the photos.. I then die cut the word 'joy' out of red cardstock with Jumbo Joy die and decided to replace the O with the kitty. I ended up die cutting the letters and the kitty out of light grey cardstock a couple of times and stacking them on top of each other so that they became a bit bulkier and stand out from the background a bit more. The white frame that I used in the background is die cut with Snowflake Frame die (you get that little die cut frame if you do not separate the dies from each other but use them while they're still attached to each other). Lastly, I embellished the card with some clear sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Watercooler Wednesday: WWC245 - Anything Goes

* Festive Frolic (30-630)

Penny Blackiltä on tullut uusia jouluisia/talvisia leimoja ja stansseja ja tässä ensimmäinen korttini niillä. Kisulainen on setistä Festive Frolic, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Lisäsin vähän glitter-kynää hatun valkoisiin osiin, mutta se ei oikein kuvissa näy.. Sanan 'joy' stanssasin Jumbo Joy -stanssilla ja päätin korvata o:n kisuliinilla. Stanssasin sekä kirjaimet että kissan useampaan otteeseen harmaasta kartongista ja liimasin ne päällekkäin, näin niistä tuli paksumpia ja vähän paremmin erottuvia. Taustan kehyksen stanssasin Snowflake Frame -stanssilla, tuo kehys tulee "kaupan päälle", kun setin stansseja ei irrota toisistaan. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla kirkkaalla paljetilla. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Oh Deer

I love the elegance of this deer so I tried my best to create an elegant card around him. The deer is from the new stamp set Oh Deer by Penny Black, I stamped him onto a panel of Copic friendly cardstock and coloured him with my Copics. I also added some tiny details to him with my white gel pen. I wanted to keep the panel feeling CAS so I left it white and added some snowflakes with the snowflakes that come with the Snowflake Frame die. They imprint the image of the snowflake into the cardstock instead of die cutting anything. I also added sentiment using the Merry Builder stamp set. For the side of the panel I used some kraft cardstock and patterned paper from Wintertime paper pad. Lastly, I embellished my card with a die cut snowflake that I die cut with Polar Pair die and added a sticky back pearl to the center of the snowflake.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:

* Wintertime (80-012)

Tämä joulukortti syntyi Penny Blackin uudella Oh Deer -leimasetillä, josta leimasin tuon peuran ja väritin Copiceilla. Lisäilin peuraan hieman valkoista geelikynääkin. Taustan halusin pitää CAS-tyylisenä, joten jätin sen valkoiseksi ja lisäilin siihen lumihiutaleita. Käytin niihin lumihiutaleita, jotka tulevat Snowflake Frame -stanssin mukana, ne eivät stanssaa vaan painavat korttipohjaan lumihiutalekuvion. Teksti on Merry Builder -setistä. Lisäsin kortin reunaan kuviopaperia Wintertime-paperikosta ja koristelin kortin Polar Pair -stanssilla stanssatulla lumihiutaleella, jonka keskustaan lisäsin yhden helmen. Käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis kaikki Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Winter Garden

I absolutely love this stamp! It's a gorgeous new stamp from Penny Black called Winter Garden and it is such a joy to colour! I coloured the image with my Copics and added some gold splatters on it. I then cut the panel down to size and rounded the corners with a corner chomper before adhering it to cardbase (I added couple of extra layers of cardstock behind the panel so that it is slightly raised from the cardbase). I die cut the word Merry with Merry and Joy die out of glittery gold cardstock, I also die cut the word out of black cardstock a couple of times and adhered them behind the glitter cardstock so that the die cut word would be a bit raised and stand out a bit more.  I embellished the card with some glittery gold enamel dots.

Laitoin paneelin taakse pari ylimääräistä kerrosta kartonkia niin, että sain paneelin vähän koholleen. Merry-sanan stanssasin Merry and Joy -stanssilla kultaisesta kartongista ja muutaman kerran mustasta ja kerrostin ne päällekkäin niin, että sain tekstin hieman koholle. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla kultaisen kimaltavalla enamel dotsilla.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Poinsettia Poem

Poinsettias for Christmas! This lovely poinsettia stamp is called Poinsettia Poem and it's one of the new Christmas stamps by Penny Black. I coloured the image with my watercolours and added just a little bit more colour to it with my Polychromos coloured pencils. I also added some gold splatters to it. I then cut a panel out of green cardstock and die cut an opening to it with Stitched Circles die and adhered the panel in place. I die cut the word 'Merry' out of gold cardstock with Merry and Joy die and adhered it to place. I completed the sentiment with a stamp from the set Merry Builder. As a finishing touch, I added some gold sequins.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Pinecone Perch

I made a Christmas card with this sweet little stamp by Penny Black. It's from their newest collection called Merry and Joy and it is called Pinecone Perch. I coloured the image with my Copics but as I don't have a reddish brown Copic, I added a bit of coloured pencil to the bird's chest just to make it look a bit more red. I also added accents with my white Gelly Roll pen. I then very lightly sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen to the upper left corner of the image and stamped the sentiment which is from the new sentiment set Merry Builder. I die cut the frame with Snowflake Frame die first from red cardstock and then from gold cardstock so that I was able to get the little gold frame too. I cut half of the gold frame off though just to add a bit more visual interest. Finally I attached everything in place and added some tiny gold sequins to embellish the card.

* Snowflake Frame (51-565)

Joulukorttia pukkaa, tämä on tehty Penny Blackin uudella Pinecone Perch -leimalla. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla, mutta koska minulla ei ole ruskehtavan punaista Copicia, lisäsin ruskehtavaa punaista linnun rintaan värikynillä. Lisäksi lisäilin hieman valkoista Gelly Roll -kynää sinne tänne leimakuvaan. Kehyksen stanssasin Snowflake Frame -stanssilla, ensin punaisesta ja sitten kultaisesta kartongista, näin sain tuon pienen kultaisen kehyksen myös. Sen tosin leikkasin kahtia ja käytin vain puolikasta. Tekstileima on Merry Builder -setistä. Koristeina muutama pieni kultainen paljetti. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat Penny Blackin uudesta Merry and Joy -joulukokoelmasta ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä. 

AAA Birthday #6: October - Lokakuu

A new challenge starts at AAA Birthday today and this time we have a colour palette to inspire you (please see the photo below). So please make a birthday card in any style you wish using at least two colours you see in the photo. As our Guest Designer, we have the very talented Trina P.

 

I managed to use all the colours of the photo in my card! As my stamped image, I have a wreath called Golden Delight by Penny Black. I stamped it onto my cardbase and coloured with my Copics. I then cut a panel the size of the card front, die cut an opening to it using a die from the set Stitched Circles by Penny Black so that it fits around the stamped image, and adhered it in place. I heat embossed my sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and adhered it with foam adhesives. Lastly, I embellished my card with gold sequins. 

Please visit AAA Birthday for all the details on how to enter and to see the gorgeous cards created by my team mates and our Guest Designer. And please do join us, you'll have until November 3rd to do so.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:

* Stamping Sensations: October - Trees and/or Leaves and/or Autumn

* Inkspirational: Challenge #197 - Photo Inspiration

* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #361 - Anything Goes

AAA Birthday -haasteessa alkaa uusi haaste ja tällä kertaa meillä on väripaletti, josta olisi tarkoitus käyttää ainakin kahta väriä. Guest Designerina meillä on tällä kertaa Trina P.

Omassa kortissani onnistuin käyttämään kaikkia kuvan värejä! Leimakuvana käytin Penny Blackin Golden Delight -leimaa, jonka leimasin suoraan korttipohjaan ja väritin Copiceilla. Paneelin leikkasin valkoisesta kartongista ja siihen stanssasin aukon Penny Blackin Stitched Circles -setin stanssilla ja kiinnitin paneelin paikoilleen. Tekstileiman embossasin mustalle kartonginpalaselle ja kiinnitin paikalleen kohotarroilla. Lopuksi koristelin kortin paljeteilla.

AAA Birthday -blogista löytyy tarkemmat ohjeet osallistumiseen, aikaa on 3.11. asti. Ja toki sieltä löytyy myös DT-porukan ja Guest Designerin kortit, kannattaa käydä kurkkaamassa :)
