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.

Tällainen joulukortti syntyi uudella Penny Blackin Conifer Wreath -leimalla. Embossasin sen kullalla ja väritin vesiväreillä. 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.

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

Tämä leimasin ei varsinaisesti ole joululeimasin eivätkä väritkään jouluväreihin mene, mutta tein tästä silti joulukortin :) Leimakuva on Concord&9th:n Grateful for Everything ja väritin sen vesiväreillä, mustetin paneelin reunat Distress Oxide -musteella ja roiskin päälle kultaa. 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.

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:

* 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.
