Penny Black Autumn Extraordinaire: Falling Leaves

Penny Black has released a new collection of autumn themed stamps and dies called Autumn Extraordinaire and I'm sharing my first card made with some of them. This card features some of the beautiful leaves that come in the Falling Leaves stamp set.

I used ink sponging to make this card. I started with sponging some Distress Oxide inks to a piece of watercolour paper, then I stamped the three leaves onto the ink sponged paper before die cutting them with the matching dies. For the background, I die cut my panel using Dainty Dashes Stackers die and masked a rectangle onto it. Then I sponged the rectangle with some Distress Oxide inks. After sponging, I had some residue ink on my craft mat so I dribbled it with water and dabbed my panel onto the ink to create the subtle splotches of ink. I mounted the panel onto my card base and arranged the leaves onto it. For the sentiment, I heat embossed a sentiment from the new Harvest Breeze stamp set onto a strip of black cardstock and attached it in place. I embellished my card with some golden sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* ModSquad Challenge Blog: Autumn Foliage

* Chocolate Baroque Challenge: Anything Goes

 

 

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

* Falling Leaves (30-716)

*Falling Leaves Cut Out (51-680)

* Harvest Breeze (30-722)

* Dainty Dashes Stackers (51-636)

 

 

Penny Blackilta on tullut kokoelma uusia syysaiheisia leimoja ja stansseja, kokoelman nimi on Autumn Extraordinaire. Tähän korttiin käytin uutta Falling Leaves -leimasettiä. Mustetin vesivärikartonkia Distress Oxide -musteilla, minkä jälkeen leimasin lehdet siihen ja stanssasin ne. Taustan paneelin stanssasin Dainty Dashes Stackers -stanssilla, maskasin siihen suorakulmion ja mustetin senkin Distress Oxide -musteilla ennen kuin kiinnitin sen korttipohjaan. Sen jälkeen asettelin lehdet paneeliin ja kiinnitin Harvest Breeze -leimasetin tekstillä embossatun kartonkistripin paikalleen. Lopuksi koristelin kortin kultaisilla paljeteilla. Kaikki käytetyt leimat ja stanssit ovat siis Penny Blackin ja saatavilla nettikaupastaan, linkit tuotteisiin yllä.

PBSC: September - Syyskuu

We're midway through the September challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme of Use Your Favourite Colours. Our Guest Designer is Bonnie.

 

This time I went with the Anything Goes theme and used the cute kitty from the Fun Felines set by Penny Black (all the stamps and dies I used on this card are by Penny Black). I coloured the cat with my Copics and die cut it using the matching die, Fun Felines Cut Out.  I placed the cat on a bench from the set Yummy, I stamped it, coloured with my Copics and die cut it using the Yummy Cut Out dies. The little signs is die cut with Sign die set and the heart with Hearts Galore die. For the background I die cut a panel using the Diamond Cut die. The sentiment is from the Trust Me Builder sentiment set. After attaching everything in place, I rounded the right hand corners of the card.

 

Please pop by Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog and don't forget to join us!

 

Penny Black Saturday Challenge on puolessa välissä ja teemana on Anything Goes vapaaehtoisen teeman ollessa Use Your Favourite Colours. Guest Designerina meillä on Bonnie.

Tein korttini Anything Goes -ajatuksella ja käytin siihen kissaa Fun Felines -setistä ja penkkiä Yummy-setistä, molemmat väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin. Kyltti on Sign-setin stanssilla stanssattu, sydän Hearts Galore -stanssilla ja tausta taas Diamond Cut -stanssilla. Tekstileima on Trust Me Builder -setistä.

Rainbow hello - Sateenkaariheippa

I'm a bit late in joining the rainbow craze but when I saw this cute rainbow die by MFT I knew I had to have it! It's called Rainbow Whimsy and it makes a beautifully whimsical rainbow. Instead of using traditional rainbow colours, I simply chose to use pretty colours that I think go together well. The heart is die cut with a Lawn Fawn die and embellished with a single enamel dot. The sentiment is from the Polar Bear Pals stamp set by MFT and the die I used for the white panel is by MFT as well.

 

 

Sateenkaarta pukkaa! Tämä syntyi MFT:n ihanalla Rainbow Whimsy -stanssilla. Tekstileima ja stanssi, jolla tein piparkakkupaneelin, ovat niin ikään MFT:n, yhdellä enamel dotsilla koristeltu sydän on stanssattu Lawn Fawnin stanssilla.

All the Best - Kaikkea Hyvää

 I absolutely adore the little critters in the Mama Elephant stamp set Dandelion Wishes, they are just so cute! I coloured the images with my Zig markers, arranged them in the window die cut with Penny Black's Stitched Circles die and placed a piece of patterned paper behind it. I heat embossed my sentiment on a strip of dark brown cardstock, the sentiment says 'All the Best'.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* AAA Cards: CAS Game #174 - Up to One Third, optional twist Woodland Animals

* Allsorts Challenge: Week 589 - I love... cute critters!

* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #170 - Adventurous (I think that the little mouse flying with a fluffy dandelion seed is adventurous)

* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Use Your Favourite Stamp 

 

Tällainen kortti syntyi Mama Elephantin Dandelion Wishes -setillä. Väritin leimakuvat Zigeillä ja asettelin ne ikkunaan, jonka stanssasin Penny Blackin Stitched Circles -stanssilla, taustalle hieman kuviopaperia. Tekstileiman embossasin tummanruskealle kartonkistripille.

AAA Birthday: September - Syyskuu

 

It's time for September challenge at AAA Birthday! Our theme this month is 'Animals & Critters' and we have Maaike joining us as a Guest Designer.

 

I made my birthday card using this sweet little kitty from Waffle Flower, it is from the stamp set Smiling. I coloured the image with my Copics and die cut it using the matching die. For the background, I used some patterned paper matted onto dark blue cardstock and a frame die cut with an MFT die. The sentiment says 'Congrats on your birthday'. 

Please do pop by AAA Birthday to see all the wonderful inspiration provided by my talented team mates and our wonderful Guest Designer, and please do join us this month with an animal or critter themed birthday card.

 

 

Syyskuun haaste AAA Birthdayssä on Animals & Critters. Guest Designerina joukkoon liittyy Maaike.

Käytin korttiini tätä suloista Waffle Flowerin kissaa, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia tummansiniselle kartongille kerrostettuna. Tekstileima on Heidin Korttipajan.

PBSC: September - Syyskuu

It's September and that means, of course, a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! The theme is, as always, 'Anything Goes' with the optional theme of 'Your Favourite Colours'. We have a prize for the winner, a $20 voucher to 1-2-3 Stitch! As our Guest Designer, we have Bonnie joining us.

 

Well, can you guess my favourite colour? Ha ha, yes, it's pink - at least when it comes to cards and colouring floral stamps!  The stamp I used is Rose Bowl by Penny Black and I coloured it with my watercolours before fussy cutting it. For the background, I used a piece of patterned paper and a frame die cut with Snowflake Stitch Frame dies by Penny Black. I heat embossed the sentiment (it says 'On your birthday') on a strip of grey cardstock. Lastly, I embellished the card with sequins.

 Minun lempivärini on varmastikin hankala arvata...! Korteissa ja kukkien värittämisessä se on pinkki, kuten tästäkin kortista näkyy. Leimakuva on Penny Blackin Rose Bowl, jonka väritin vesiväreillä ja leikkasin irti. Taustalle kuviopaperia ja kehykset, jotka stanssasin Penny Blackin Snowflake Stitch Frames -stansseilla. Tekstileima on Heidin Korttipajan, embossasin sen valkoisella harmaalle kartonkipalalle. Lopuksi koristelin kortin paljeteilla.

Gnome pile - Tonttupino

One more card to add to my Christmas card stash! This one is made with a Stamping Bella stamp called Gnome Pile that I colourd with my Copics. I die cut the panel with an MFT stitched edge die and added a frame to it that I die cut with an MFT die as well. I stamped my sentiment onto the panel, it's a Christmas themed little poem in Finnish. For the background, I simply added a piece of patterned paper. Lastly, I embellished the card with some sticky back pearls.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:

* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #169 - Season, optional twist of 'Colouring'

* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Stamp It!

 

 

Hitaasti syntyy joulukortteja, tämän tein Stamping Bellan Gnome Pile -leimalla, jonka väritin Copiceilla. Tekstin leimaamisen jälkeen stanssasin paneelin MFT:n stanssilla ja lisäsin kehykset, jotka stanssasin niin ikään MFT:n stanssilla. Taustalle kuviopaperia ja koristeeksi muuta helmi.
