Penny Black Share the Love: Key to Kindness, part 3

Well, I did tell you that I love the new Key to Kindness stamp set by Penny Black, didn't I? So much so that I made a third card with it! This time I used the wreath from the set, coloured it with my Copics again and fussy cut it out. Then I stamped the sentiment from the new Only You sentiment set inside the wreath and added a tiny heart inside the O, I die cut it using Hearts Galore die. I added a doily behind the wreath (now that I found them again, I'm using them all the time!) and a bit of patterned paper from the Gentle Whisper paper pad which I matted onto pale pink cardstock before adhering it to my square cardbase.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Something New (new stamps)
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge #615 - Anything Goes
* Stamping Sensations: January - Favourite Stamps (this stamp set is my new favourite)
* Penny Black and More: January - Make It Feminine

All stamps, dies and patterned paper that I've used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Key to Kindness (30-665)
* Only You (30-666)
* Gentle Whisper (80-008)
* Hearts Galore (51-492)

Tästä uudesta Penny Blackin leimasetistä on tullut varma suosikkini, tämä on jo kolmas kortti, jonka sillä teen. Setti on siis Key to Kindness ja tällä kertaa käytin siitä tuota ihanaa kranssia. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Kranssin sisälle leimasin tekstileiman setistä Only You ja lisäsin pienen sydämen O:n sisään, se on stanssattu Hearts Galore -stanssilla. Kranssin taustalle taas doily ja hieman kuviopaperia Gentle Whisper -paperikosta, kerrostus vaaleanpunaiselle kartongille ja sitten kiinni korttipohjaan. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

Penny Black Share the Love: Key to Kindness, part 2

I love the new Key to Kindness stamp set by Penny Black so I made another card with it. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and fussy cut it out. I die cut the frame with the new Stitches of Love die set and used some patterned paper from the Gentle Whisper paper pad for the background. I stamped my sentiment from the new Hug Me sentiment set directly onto the patterned paper. I've found my love of doilies again :) so I used a doily and a bit of twine behind the stamped and fussy cut image that I adhered with foam adhesives. I finished the card by embellishing it with some sticky back pearls.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: January - Anything Goes, optional 'Something New' (new stamps and dies)
* Time Out Challenges: Challenge #152 - Photo Inspiration (the heart, the frame and the pattern on the vase)
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Something New (stamps and dies)

All stamps, dies and patterned paper used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Key to Kindness (30-665)
* Hug Me (30-668)
* Stitches of Love (51-597)
* Gentle Whisper (80-008)

Tämä Penny Blackin uusi leimasetti Key to Kindness on sen verran ihana, että tein sillä toisenkin kortin. Tähän käytin setin kukkasydäntä, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin Stitches of Love -stanssisetin stansseilla ja taustalle käytin kuviopaperia Gentle Whisper -paperikosta, ja leimasin tekstin setistä Hug Me siihen suoraan. Leimakuvan takana käytin doilya ja hieman narua ja koristelin kortin vielä puolihelmillä. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Best cards of 2019 - The Flower Challenge

It's time to look back on last year and the cards I've made and choose my favourite cards that I made for The Flower Challenge during 2019. I love all styles of cardmaking but tend to lean towards the clean and simple (or clean and layered, depending on the definition) style and I think my cards reflect that. And looking at the cards I chose, I think we could also play a game called 'Guess my favourite floral colour'... LOL!

Here are the original posts for the cards, clockwise from top left corner:
Challenge #34: Pretty Pastels, Reminder
Challenge #28: Colour Pink & Grey
Challenge #36: Anything Goes, Reminder
Challenge #36: Anything Goes

Thank you so much for looking, I hope you can join us and play along in the new challenges of The Flower Challenge this year!



On aika katsoa vuoden 2019 kortteja ja erityisesti The Flower Challenge -haasteeseen tekemiäni DT-kortteja. Valitsin neljä itselleni mieluisinta korttia ja ajattelin, että samalla voisimme pelata helppoa peliä nimeltään "Arvaa Milla lempiväri", ha ha! Linkit kortteihin löytyy yltä, mikäli haluat katsoa niitä lähemmin. Toivottavasti osallistut myös tuleviin haasteisiimme!

Penny Black Share the Love: Key to Kindness

I'm sharing the love again with a card made with new stamps and dies from the new collection by Penny Black called Share the Love. This time I decided to make a shaker card the easy way so I took a cellophane bag, inserted a bit of patterned paper from the paper pad Gentle Whisper and added my sequins in there (no playing with foam adhesives needed!). I die cut the frame using the new Stitches of Love frame dies and adhered it to the shaker part. The stamped image I used is from the new Key to Kindness stamp set which is one of my faves, the florals in the set are so whimsical and pretty. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and fussy cut it out. I then heat embossed the sentiment from the new Only You sentiment set onto a strip of grey cardstock and added the pink die cut 'you' (die cut with For You die set). For the background, I used patterned paper from the paper pad Beau Jardins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: December - Anything Goes, Optional 'Sparkle and Shine'
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC252 - Anything Goes
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Something New (new stamps and dies)

 All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:

* Beau Jardins (80-011)
* Gentle Whisper (80-008)

Uusi kortti uusilla Penny Black -tuotteilla, feikki-shaker-kortti tällä kertaa. Feikki siinä mielessä, että en käyttänyt tähän kohotarroja tms vaan pientä sellofaanipussia, johon laitoin palasen kuviopaperia Gentle Whisper -paperikosta ja paljetit sinne sisään. Helppoa ja nopeaa! Kehyksen stanssasin Stitches of Love -setin stansseilla. Leima, jota käytin on ihanasta Key to Kindness -setistä, väritin sen Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Tekstileiman Only You -setistä embossasin harmaalle kartonkipalaselle ja lisäsin stanssatun 'you:n' (For You -stanssisetillä stanssattu). Taustalle hieman kuviopaperia Beau Jardins -paperikosta. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Share the Love: Heart Border

Happy New Year and happy 'Roaring 20s'! I'm beginning my 2020 crafting with a CAS card made with new products from the new and fabulous Penny Black release called Share the Love. This is a very clean and simple card with minimal stamping so it's quick and easy to make. I first die cut a panel of white cardstock with the new frame die called Stitches of Love, I love these new frame dies, each size comes with different stitching around the edges. I then die cut the panel with a new die called Heart Border which cuts a sort of negative image on cardstock. I also die cut the Heart Border on pink cardstock so that I could get the hearts in pink. I folded my cardbase out of red cardstock and adhered the white panel on it. I then stamped my sentiment, it's from the new sentiment set called Hug Me, on the white panel and adhered the pink hearts in place. Lastly, I added a couple of tiny rhinestones in two of the hearts.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: December - Anything Goes
* Allsorts Challenge: Week 51/2 - Anything Goes
* Perfectly CAS: Challenge #4 - Celebrate (celebrating Valentine's Day with this card)

All stamps and dies used are by Penny Black and from their latest release called Share the Love which is available in their online store:
* Heart Border (51-592)
* Hug Me (30-668)
* Stitches of Love (51-597)

Hyvää Uutta Vuotta ja uutta vuosikymmentä! Aloitin uuden vuosikymmenen askartelut CAS-kortilla, jossa on hyvin vähän leimailua. Stanssasin ensin paneelin valkoisesta kartongista Stitches of Love -stanssisetin stanssilla. Sitten stanssasin paneeliin tuon sydänkuvion Heart Border -stanssilla, samalla stanssilla stanssasin vielä pinkkiä kartonkia, että sain pinkkejä sydämiä. Korttipohjan taittelin punaisesta kartongista ja kiinnitin siihen valkoisen paneelin, johon leimasin tekstin uuden tekstisetin Hug Me leimalla. Lopuksi kiinnitin pinkit sydämet paikoilleen ja pariin sydämeen laitoin koristeeksi pienen timantin. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Penny Black Share the Love: Tenderness

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! With Christmas behind us now, it's time to look forward to Valentine's day and Penny Black has just released new stamps and dies that are perfect for all Valentine's day creations and the collection is aptly named - Share the Love! I'm going to Share the Love with a floral card that I made with a stamp set called Tenderness and its matching dies. All the floral stamps are from the said set, I coloured them with my Copic markers and die cut them with the matching dies. For the background I used a die called Diamond Cut, I cut it once out of white linen textured cardstock and just used the frame. Second time I die cut it out of kraft cardstock and fitted that die cut into the white frame (the white you see peeking from behind the kraft panel is my card base). I then heat embossed the stamped part of the sentiment on a strip of dark brown cardstock, the stamp that says 'I love' comes from a new stamp set called Only You. The 'You' I die cut with an older die called For You and adhered it onto the sentiment strip. I then arranged and adhered all the flowers and the sentiment strip in place.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: December - Anything Goes
* Penny Black and More: December - Flowers
* Watercooler Wednesday: WWC252 - Anything Goes

Toivottavasti joulu meni mukavasti! Nyt, kun joulukorteista on päästy, on aika tehdä ystävänpäivä/Valentine's Day-kortteja. Penny Blackilta on tullut uusia leimoja ja stansseja, jotka sopivat teemaan hyvin. Tähän korttiin käytin uusia Tenderness-setin kukkia, jotka väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin Tenderness Cut Out -stansseilla. Taustalle tein kehikon Diamond Cut -stanssilla. Tekstiin yhdistin uudesta Only You -tekstisetistä tuon 'I love' ja vanhemmasta stanssisetistä For You tuon 'You'n. Kaikki käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Lilac - Syreeni

I just love colouring this little cutie! She's Tiny Townie Garden Girl Lilac by Stamping Bella and I coloured her with my Copics. For the background, I used a bit of patterned paper matted onto cardstock and a half of a doily (haven't used those in ages!). I stamped the sentiment ('For the Birthday Girl'), added a bit of twine in a bow and some sticky back pearls to embellish the card.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* CAS(E) This Sketch! #351
* Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 612 - Anything Goes

Tämä leimakuva on ihana värittää! Leima on Stamping Bellan Tiny Townie Garden Girl Lilac, jonka väritin Copiceilla. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja pienen kakkupaperin puolikkaan, tekstileiman, hieman nyöriä ja helmiä.

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.

Besties - Parhaat ystikset

I'm taking a break from Christmas cards and decided to make a card with one of my new Stamping Bella stamps. This one is called Besties. I coloured the image with my Copics and added a bit of sparkle to the pink dress with my Gelly Roll pen in gold. The sentiment is a mixture of two brands: the stamped sentiment is by WPlus9 and the die cut sentiment is by Winnie & Walter. I matted the panel onto kraft cardstock and added a bit of patterned paper by Lili of the Valley behind it. To finish the card, I embellished it with sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
* CAS(E) This Sketch! #350 (I turned the sketch around a bit)
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Let's Sparkle (there's sparkle on the pink dress and the sequins sparkle a bit too)
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC250 - Feminine Anything Goes
* Stamping Sensations: December - Anything Goes

Hoping this photo shows off the added gold in the pink dress.

Hieman taukoa joulukortteiluun ja jotain muuta välillä. Tämän tein uudella Stamping Bella -leimallani. Tämän nimi on Besties, väritin sen Copiceilla ja lisäsin vähän blingiä pinkkiin mekkoon kultaisella Gelly Roll -kynällä. Teksti on sekoistus kahta eriä: leimattu teksti on WPlus9:ia ja stanssattu on Winnie & Walteria. Kerrostus kraftille ja taustalle Lili of the Valleyn kuviopaperia. Loppusilaus paljeteilla. 

Penguins - Pingviinit

Here are the Christmas cards I made with MFT's Sweet Holiday Penguins set. I have a thing for penguins and these are just so very cute! For all of the cards, I coloured the images with my Copics and used dies by Penny Black, except for the banner which is an MFT die. The sentiment in all of the says 'Christmas Joy' in Finnish.

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.

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

Käytetyt tuotteet ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Snowy village - Luminen kylä

A snowy little village for Christmas :) For this Christmas card, I used the little village from Ready, Set, Snow stamp set by Lawn Fawn which I coloured with my Copics. I created a window by die cutting the white panel with an MFT die and adhering blue cardstock behind it. I then attached the village in place and added falling snow with my white gel pen. I stamped my sentiment (which says 'Merry Christmas') before adhering the panel onto my card base.

Ikkunan stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla ja kiinnitin sen taakse sinistä kartonkia, johon lisäsin lumisadetta valkoisella geelikynällä. Sitten kiinnitin kylän paikoilleen ja leimasin tekstileiman ennen kuin kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan.

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. I then matted the panel onto dark brown cardstock before adhering it onto kraft coloured card base. Lastly, I embellished the card using gold sequins.

Joy-sanan stanssasin glitterkultaisesta kartongista Merry and Joy -stanssilla. Paneelin reunat mustetin Distress Oxide -musteella ja roiskin päälle kultasuihketta. Kerrostin paneelin tummanruskealle kartongille ja sitten korttipohjalle. Lopulta koristelin kortin kultaisilla paljeteilla. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

Christmas Roses - Jouluruusut

This gorgeous image is a stamp by Stampendous called Christmas Roses. I stamped it three times across the top of the die cut panel (die cut with Penny Black's Leaf Stitched Frames) and coloured it with my Copic markers. I then stamped the sentiment (it says '(Wishing You) Peaceful Christmas Time' in Finnish) before adhering it to my dark red card base. Lastly, I embellished the card with clear sequins.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:
* Stamping Sensations: November - Traditional Christmas Colours (I used red and green)

Tämä ihana leimakuva on Stampendousin Christmas Roses, leimasin sen itse asiassa kolme kertaa stanssatun paneelin yläosaan (paneeli stanssattu Penny Blackin Leaf Stitched Frames -stanssilla) ja väritin sen Copiceilla. Leimasin tekstin ja kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan ennen kuin koristelin kortin kirkkailla paljeteilla. 

Peaceful Christmas Time - Rauhaisaa Joulunaikaa

Now I know this is not a Christmas stamp per se and I didn't even use traditional Christmas colours to colour it but still I decided to make a Christmas card with it. The stamp I used is Grateful for Everything by Concord&9th and I coloured it with my watercolours before sponging the edges with some Distress Oxide ink and adding splatters of gold to it. I then stamped my sentiment (it says 'Peaceful Christmas Time') and matted the panel onto dark brown cardstock before tying a bit of twine around it. Lastly, I adhered the matted panel onto my cardbase.

Sitten vain tekstileima, kerrostus tummanruskealle kartongille, nyöriä rusetille ja korttipohjaan kiinni. 

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.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: November - Anything Goes

* Wintry Whites (30-634)

Tällainen kukkakortti syntyi uudella Penny Blackin leimalla Wintry Whites. Väritin leimakuvan Polychromos-kynillä ja mustetin paneelin reunoja hieman valkoisella musteella.

Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit yllä.

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
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: November - Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #368 - Holiday

All the products used are by Penny Black and available in their online store:
* Starlight (30-646)
* Sweet Sledder (30-647)
* Snowflake Frame (51-565)
* Burlap Edge (51-504)
* Holiday Trimming (80-013)

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.

Congratulating you - Sinua onnitellen

Decided to make a birthday card with one of my new Stamping Bella stamps, this one is from the set Straight Up Floral. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and cut the panel before stamping my sentiment (it says 'Congratulating you' in Finnish). I matted the panel onto black cardstock and did the same for the piece of patterned paper in the background. After I had attached everything in place, I added some clear sequins to embellish the card.

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenge:
* Inkspirational: Challenge #200 - Celebration (I was inspired by the celebration theme)

Tein synttärikortin uudella Stamping Bella -leimallani, tämä on setistä Straight Up Floral. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja leimasin tekstileiman. Paneelin kerrostin mustalle kartongille, samoin tein taustan kuviopaperille. Sitten vain kiinnitin kaiken paikalleen ja koristelin paljeteilla.
