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.

* 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.

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.

Tämä Penny Blackin uusi leima Winter Garden on ihana värittää! Väritin sen Copiceilla ja roiskin perään vähän kultaroiskeita. Paneelin leikkasin irti ja pyöristin kulmat corner chomperilla. 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.

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.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: All The Trimmings

I'm on a good roll with my Christmas cards - here's a new one! For this card, I used the new stamp set by Penny Black called All The Trimmings. I used two stamps from the set on this card and heat embossed them in gold before watercolouring them. I also heat embossed the sentiment, it's from the new set Thrill of Hope. Then I sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen to the edges of the panel before adhering the panel first to red cardstock and then to my kraft coloured cardbase. Lastly, I added some gold sequins to embellish the card.

Joulukortit jatkuu! Tämän tein Penny Blackin uudella leimasetillä All The Trimmings. Käytin setistä kahta eri leimaa ja embossasin ne kultaisella jauheella, jonka jälkeen väritin ne vesiväreillä. Tekstileimankin embossasin, se on setistä Thrill of Hope. Sen jälkeen mustetin paneelin reunoja Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Antique Linen ja kiinnitin paneelin ensin punaiselle kartongille ja sen jälkeen korttipohjaan. Lopuksi koristelin kortin muutamalla kullanvärisellä paljetillä. Käytetyt leimat ovat siis Penny Blackin uudesta kokoelmasta Merry and Joy ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit leimoihin yllä.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Cozy Nights

Lovely stamps, die cutting and a piece of patterned paper - those are what this Christmas card is made of! For this one, I used the lovely house from the new Penny Black stamp set Cozy Nights, coloured it with my Copics and die cut it out with the matching die. I also added a tiny heart to the door die cut with Hearts Galore die. I die cut the panel with Leaf Stitched Frames die, sponged a bit of Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen to the background of the house to give it a lovely warm glow, stamped the sentiment from Thrill of Hope sentiment set in the same ink and adhered the house in place. For the background, I used a piece of patterned paper from the paper pad Wintertime. I then adhered the panel in place and embellished the card with a snowflake die cut with Polar Pair die.

Oveen lisäsin sydämen, jonka stanssasin Hearts Galore -stanssilla. Paneelin stanssasin Leaf Stitched Frames -setin stanssilla, mustetin talon taustaa hieman Distress Oxide -musteen sävyllä Antique Linen, jolla myös leimasin tekstileiman setistä Thrill of Hope. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia Wintertime-paperikosta. Kun olin kiinnittänyt kaiken paikoilleen, lisäsin koristeeksi vielä lumihiutaleen, jonka stanssasin Polar Pair -setin stanssilla.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Saplings

I made a shaker card! I made one shaker card years ago and have not tried one since but I thought the new Snowflake Frame by Penny Black would be perfect for a shaker card so I had to give it a go. I also wanted to continue on my white and gold theme (see my previous card here) although it made photographing the card a bit tricky... For the image, I heat embossed one of the trees from the new Saplings stamp set in gold and also heat embossed the sentiment from the Merry Builder set. I then assembled the card with the sequins inside and completed the sentiment with a die cut 'Merry' from the die set Merry and Joy.

Kokeilin tehdä shaker-kortin! Olen aikaisemmin tehnyt muistaakseni yhden, joten mikään pro näissä en ole, mutta ajattelin tämän Penny Blackin Snowflake Frame -kehyksen sopivan loistavasti shakereihin, joten piti kokeilla :) Leimana käytin yhtä leimaa Penny Blackin Saplings-setistä,  embossasin sen kullalla samoin kuin tekstileiman Merry Builder -setistä. Kokosin kortin paljetteineen kasaan ja täydensin tekstin stanssatulla Merry-sanalla stanssisetistä Merry and Joy.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Dainty Doves

I really like the combination of white and gold so that's what I went for in this Christmas card. The stamp I used is a new one from Penny Black's new collection Merry and Joy and it is called Dainty Doves (the set includes two doves). I watercoloured the image very lightly and added gold accents with my Gelly Roll pen. I also added gold enamel dots as berries in the branch. I die cut the frame using the new Snowflake Frame die, I cut it once out of white cardstock and the second time out of glitter gold cardstock so that I got the rectangle frame in gold. I die cut the sentiment out of the same glitter gold cardstock using the new Merry and Joy die. Finally, I simply adhered everything in place.

Valkoinen ja kulta on mielestäni kaunis yhdistelmä, joten käytin sitä tässä joulukortissa. Käyttämäni leima on Penny Blackin uusi Dainty Doves (setissä on kaksi kyyhkyä, käytin tähän vain toista). Väritin sen kevyesti vesiväreillä ja lisäilin kultaisia yksityiskohtia Gelly Roll -kynällä. Kehyksen stanssasin Snowflake Frames -stanssilla, kertaalleen valkoisesta kartongista ja kertaalleen kultaisesta, että sain tuon kultaisen suorakulmion tuonne kehyksen sisään. Tekstin stanssasin Merry and Joy -stanssilla. Lopuksi lisäilin kultaisia enamel dotseja marjoiksi kyyhkyn kantamaan oksaan.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Teamwork

Here's a Christmas card I made using a new mini stamp set called Teamwork from the new Penny Black collection called Merry and Joy. I think this duo is just so adorable and it's a really fun stamp to colour! I coloured the stamped image with watercolours, added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to the star (although you can't see it in the photo..) and then sponged some pink Distress Oxide ink to the sky. I die cut the frame using a die from the new Stitched Loops die set and adhered it to my watercoloured panel. I used the sentiment from the Teamwork mini set and stamped it onto the frame. After I had adhered the whole panel to my cardbase, I embellished my card with a single snowflake die cut with the new Polar Pair die set, I also placed a white enamel dot to its centre.

Tämä suloinen duo on Penny Blackin uudesta leimasetistä Teamwork, leimasin sen vesiväripaperille ja väritin vesiväreillä. Tähteen laitoin hieman kirkasta Wink of Stellaa ja taivaan mustetin vaaleanpunaisella Distress Oxide -musteella. Kehyksen stanssasin uudella Stitched Loops -setin stanssilla ja leimasin kehykseen tekstin tuosta samaisesta Teamwork-setistä. Koristeeksi laitoin lumihiutaleen, jonka stanssasin uudella Polar Pair -stanssilla. Kaikki tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit käyttämiini tuotteisiin yllä.

Penny Black Merry and Joy: Beaming

Beaming Elf reporting for fairy light duty! :) Oh, isn't he just the cutest elf ever!? Totally smitten with him :) Penny Black has released a new collection of Christmas stamps, it's called Merry and Joy and this little cutie is one of the new stamps called Beaming. I stamped him onto watercolour cardstock and coloured with my watercolours. I also added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to the fairy lights but I couldn't really get it to show in the photos. For the sentiment, I combined a new word die from the set Merry and Joy (the set has both words as dies) and a stamped sentiment from the set Merry Builder. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto some red cardstock and then onto my cardbase.

Penny Blackilta on tullut kokoelma uusia joululeimoja ja -stansseja, jotka ovat kaikki aivan ihania! Tässä yksi suloisuus nimeltään Beaming. Leimasin sen vesivärikartongille ja väritin vesiväreillä, valoihin laitoin kirkasta Wink of Stellaa, mutta valitettavasti se ei oikein kuvissa näy. Tekstin tein Merry and Joy -setin stanssilla ja leimalla setistä Merry Builder. Lopuksi kiinnitin paneelin punaiselle kartongille ja korttipohjaan.
