Ja poikakortit jatkuvat, taas siis 8-vuotiskortti veljenpojalle 3/4 ;) En ole tuota kotkatirppaa kovin usein käyttänyt, joten nyt oli hyvä hetki käyttää sitä. Väritin ison tirpan Distress Markereilla ja lisäilin vähän valkoista geelikynää korostamaan sulkia. Paperin stanssasin muotoonsa Spellbindersin stanssilla ja alla olevan ruskean kartongin leikkasin käsin, että sain oikean kokoisen kehyksen. Numero 8 on stanssattu Timpan stanssilla. Taustan vihreään paperiin leimasin raidat Hero Artsin Large Canvas Stripes -taustaleimalla. Tästä tuli aika lailla tällainen peruskortti, en vain tiedä jäikö tuo tausta papereineen vähän turhan pliisuksi, olisiko kotka vaatinut taustakseen vähän tymäkämmät värit? No, tällä mennään kuitenkin.
Here's yet another birthday card for a boy, it's for my nephew #3 out of 4 ;) for his 8th birthday. I haven't used this eagle stamp that much so I thought it was a good time to use it now. I think the stamp is by Whiff of Joy but I'm not sure what it's called. Anyways, I coloured the big birdie with Distress Markers and added some highlights to his feathers with a white gel pen. I die cut the paper using a Spellbinders die and then I cut the brown cardstock behind it with my scissors in order to get a right sized frame. The number 8 is die cut with a Tim Holtz die. I stamped the green paper with the background stamp 'Large Canvas Stripes' by Hero Arts. I'm not sure if the background is a bit too wishy washy for the eagle, maybe he should have some stronger colours behind him? But it's too late to change that now so we'll just have to go with this ;)

Spreijaaja - The dude's spraying!
Taas lähestyy yhden veljenpojan synttärit ja jo toista kertaa tämän vuoden sisällä minä olen ajoissa korttien kanssa (tästähän uhkaa tulla tapa...! ;) ). Tein taas kolme eri korttia, yhden meiltä, yhden isovanhempiensa annettavaksi ja yhden isoisoäitinsä annettavaksi ja tässä näytille yksi 8-vuotiskorteista. Taustan "seinän" tein teippaamalla washiteippejä kartongille ja kirjaimet stanssasin Memory Boxin stansseilla (Classic Lower Alphabet). Väritin kirjaimet ProMarkerilla, i:n jätin osittain valkoiseksi, että näyttäisi siltä, että hemmo ei ole sitä vielä ehtinyt spreijata. Tuo hemmo on DoodleFactorya ja ProMarkereilla väritetty. Taustapaperiin leimasin muutaman Hero Artsin läiskän ja pariin kohtaan lisäsin pieniä niittejä.
One of my nephews has his birthday coming up soon and for the second time this year, I actually have the birthday cards ready well in advance (this is becoming a habit... ;) ). As usual, I made three cards, one from us, one for his grandparents to give to him and one for his greatgrandmother to give. This is one of the cards celebrating his 8th birthday. I made the 'wall' by taping some washi tapes on a piece of cardstock. The stamped dude is by DoodleFactory and I coloured him with ProMarkers. He is spraying letters that I die cut with Memory Box dies ('Classic Lower Alphabet'). For the background I just stamped a Hero Arts ink blot stamp a few times on patterned paper and added some tiny staples.

Kutsu - Invitation
Sain pyynnön tehdä kutsukortit pienen pojan ristiäisiin ja tulevien juhlien sankarin äidin kanssa päädyimme tällä mallilla toteutettaviin kutsuihin. Väritoiveista tärkein taisi olla vauvansinisen välttäminen, mikä passasi minulle varsin hyvin :) Päädyin lopulta alla oleviin kolmeen väri"settiin" ja tein yhdestä värisetistä aina useamman kortin. Stanssasin näihin kaikki ympyrät My Favorite Thingsin stansseilla ja pienet sydämet Simon Says Stampin stanssilla. Leimakuva on DoodleFactorya Distress Markereilla ja Inkeillä väritettyinä. Kutsu-sanan leimasin Paper Smoochesin Alphadot-aakkosilla ja embossasin ruskealla. Sekä leimakuva että tuo 'banneri' on kiinnitetty hieman koholle tarrapaloilla. Sydämiä korostamaan lisäsin valkoista enamel accentsia.
I was asked to make invitations for a christening of a little baby boy and after pondering it for a while, the baby's mother and I decided on me making the cards similar to these. As for colours, the main thing was to avoid baby blue which suited me fine :) I chose the sets of colours you see in the piccies and made a few cards from each set. I die cut all the circles with My Favorite Things dies and the hearts with a Simon Says Stamp die. The stamped image is by DoodleFactory, I coloured them with Distress Markers and Inks and fussy cut them. I stamped the word 'kutsu' (meaning 'invitation' in Finnish) with Paper Smooches Alphadot stamps and heat embossed with brown powder. I attached the stamped image and the banners with foam adhesives so they're a bit raised from the cardbase. As a final touch, I added a bit of white Enamel Accents to the hearts.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Kivaa keskiviikkoa! :)

16
Taas Hero Artsin ihania sutaisuja korttiin :) Tällä kertaa tarvitsimme synttärikorttia 16 vuotta täyttävälle nuorelle miehelle ja jotenkin nämä sudinvedot sopivat mielestäni niin hyvin nuorten miesten kortteihin. Hain tähän inspiraatiota Shari Carrollin kollaasityyppisistä leimailuista mutta voi vain sanoa, että en tosiaankaan ole Shari Carroll... ;) Leimasimina siis oli Brush Strokes -setin leimasimia ja musteina Hero Artsin Shadow Inkejä (Pool, Soft Pool, Tide Pool, Wet Granite ja Cup o' Joe). Numerot leimasin Paper Smoochesin Alphadot -setin numeroilla.
More lovely brush strokes by Hero Arts :) This time we needed a birthday card for a young man turning 16 and somehow these different brush strokes and marks suit masculine cards well. I was inspired by Shari Carroll's collage style of stamping when I made this but let's just say that I ain't no Shari Carroll... ;) But anyways, the stamps I used are from the Brush Strokes set and the inks are Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Pool, Soft Pool, Tide Pool, Wet Granite and Cup o' Joe). The numbers I stamped with the number stamps from the Alphadot set by Paper Smooches.

Kiitos - Thank you
Aikaisemmin kesällä minulta pyydettiin kiitos-korttia ja tämän sain aikaan. Kortin tilaajiin kuului sekä suomalaisia että amerikansuomalaisia, joten siitä sain idean tuohon ovaalin sisältä näkyvään taustaan. Leimasin siis kahdella eri tekstileimalla (kiitos on FinnStamperin ja thank you Penny Blackin) paperille, en mitenkään erityisen tarkkaan symmetrisesti mutta niin että niiden väliin jäi sopivasti mutta ei liikaa tilaa ;) Tuon kermanvärisen kartongin kohokuvioin Hero Artsin/Sizzixin taskulla ja stanssasin siihen tuon ovaalin. Noiden kahden kerroksen väliin lisäsin pari kerrosta vellumia pehmentämään itsetehtyä taustaa. Kukkaset on stanssattu ja leimattu Papertrey Inkin Larger than Life -setin värkeillä ja "musteena" käytin Distress Markereita. Lisäksi pari nauhaa rusetille ja stanssattuun ympyrä-tagiin kiitos rub on -kirjaimilla.
Earlier this summer I was asked to make a thank you card and this is what I made. The group of people who asked me to make it included both Finns and Finnish Americans and this gave me the idea for the background you see peeking through the oval. I took two sentiment stamps, 'kiitos' ('thank you' in Finnish) and 'thank you' and stamped them repeatedly on a piece of cardstock. I did it quite freely and didn't try to make it too symmetrically. Then I dry embossed the cream cardstock with a Hero Arts/Sizzix embossing folder and die cut the oval on it. I added a couple of layers of vellum behind the oval opening to soften the stamped background. The flowers are die cut and stamped using Papertrey Ink's Larger than Life set and Distress Markers. The 'kiitos' on the round tag is written with rub on letters. As a finishing touch there's some ribbon and a bow.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit! Mukavaa viikon alkua! :)

Kukkasia - Tiny flowers
Taas vaihteeksi kortti tällä ihanalla Penny Blackin leimalla (Scented message). Väritin sen Prismoilla kraft-kartongille, kerrostin värillisen kartongin ja kuviopaperin kanssa kraftin väriselle korttipohjalle ja lisäsin Papertrey Inkin tekstileiman vellumille. Lisäksi muutama timantti (mm. piilottamaan liima, jolla kiinnitin vellumin ;) ) ja pieni klemmari.
Here's a card I made with the gorgeous Penny Black stamp 'Scented Message'. I stamped it onto some kraft cardstock and coloured it with Prismacolour pencils.Then I layered it with some pink cardstock and some patterned paper onto kraft cardbase. I stamped the sentiment (by Papertrey Ink) onto a piece of vellum. As embellies there are a few gems (which are 'cleverly' hiding the glue I used to attach the vellum ;) ) and a tiny paperclip.

Sudinvedot - Brush strokes
Miten kannattaa ottaa kuva melkein kokovalkoisesta kortista? No valkoista taustaa vasten tietysti! Niinpä, tajusin juuri, kun kuvaa katselin, että ihan ei ehkä kortti hyvin tästä näy mutta eipä auta, kortti on jo saajallaan eikä siitä uuttakaan kuvaa saa. Toivottavasti tästä kuitenkin jotain näkyy, sillä halusin osallistua tällä Hero Artsin tämänhetkiseen haasteeseen. Inspiraationa käytin mm. tätä korttia, pidän tavasta, jolla noita sudinvetoja on käytetty taustana. Tämä kortti meni siis 18 vuotta täyttävälle nuorelle miehelle, joten ylenmääräisiä hörhellyksiä se ei kaivannut. Embossasin vain nuo sudinvedot disco black -värisellä jauheella, embossasin 7Gypsiesin numerot valkoisella jauheella mustalle kartongille ja leikkasin irti ja kiinnitin sudin jälkien päälle. Korttipohja tässä on neliönmallinen 13,5x13,5 cm.
How should you photograph a card that's mostly white? Against white background, of course! Ha yes, I just realised that you probably cannot see the card too well in the photo as it is white against white... However, I do hope you can see something there as I'd like to submit this to the current challenge at Hero Arts and I cannot take a new photo of the card as it has already been given to its recipient. Anyways, I love all the brush strokes stamps in the new Stamp Your Story collection and I was inspired by this card (among others), I love the way the brush strokes have been used as background for the focal point in the card. So I needed a card for a young man turning 18 and decided to use my new stamps and make a clean, no frills card. I heat embossed the brush strokes with 'disco black' embossing powder (it's black with glitter), heat embossed the numbers (from 7Gypsies' 'Numero' set) with white powder on black cardstock and cut them out and attached on the card (the card base was square 13,5x13,5 centimetres). And that was it! Clean and simple and hopefully to a young man's taste :)
Tässä kuvassa näkyy hieman paremmin tuo kohojauheen väri.
This piccie shows the colour of the embossing powder a bit better.
